Boer cause throughout the Father
| land.
After McKinley's death the old pro-
| fessor cherished the hope that Roose-
velt's Dutch ancestry would lead him to
bring about American Intervention in
| the Beers behalf. He said that "since
| 1916 the United States, which won their
| independence with foreign aid, had owed
the world debt of honor which Roose-
welt ought to discharge" 1t was pointed
out to the professor that the Beers had
had the moral sympathy of many of the
American people from the start.
That may be-" be replied, "but Pla-
tonic love never bore children"
In 1901 Prof Mommsen again stirred
the German people with an appeal in be-
half of university freedom. which he con-
ceived to be endangered by the kaiser's
proposed appointment of Catholic pre-
fessor to the chair of history at the uni
versity of Strassburg. He attacked the
emperor's proposal mercilessly, and raj
lied around him such a distinguished
array Of scholars that the threatened in
noyation at Strassburg was quietly
abandoned by order from the highest
quarter.
Last year, just when the kaiser was
travelling up and down the country, de-
nouncing the social democrats as abet-

Mommsen issued a brilliant manifesto.

party of Germany entitled to respect.

flock TO their standard. His appeal fell
on deaf ears. because German liserals
are hopelessly divided by factional strife.

of the historians personal courage and
unwithering mental power.

EXCEPTION TO RULE.
One Foreign Ailiarce That Has
Proved D st.ncvly Happy.
Countess waIdersee, Who Was Esther
Lee, Drew rrtae sn the Inter-
national Marriage Lottery
Enterprise.

Countess Won Waldersee is now at her
old home in New York city She arrived
on the steamship MoiEke aicne, her dis

for years to visit the country OF his

Countess Won Waldersee is far past
middle life, but is still brilliant wom-
an. with vast influence at court In
times past she was credited with more
influence at the German court than any
other American woman exercised In any
court in Europe.
The countess was Miss Esther Lee,
daughter of David b. Lee, pioneer
wholesale grocer on South street. She
came of an old Connecticut family OF
farmers and landowners. When her
father died her mother took her and her
sisters to Paris There Esther was edu-
Gated
In 1857 she married Prince Frederick
Won Schleswig Holstein, with whose
intimacy She was very young then,
while the German prince was an old
man, and it was gossip that she had
boldly schemed to get the nobleman for
her husband. BY regular marriage
with the American girl the prince would
. be compelled to renounce his titles. so
he proposed Morganatic alliance. This
was refused by Miss Lee, whereupon the
prince gave up his titles and made her
his bride.
Six months later the prince died of
apoplexy, leaving his girl wife 100000

title of Princes de Noer, the title of

young officer on the kings staff, whom
she married some years later
The countess won the confidence of the
king, who later became emperor of Ger

Bismarck's overthrow. She was ambi-

Unique Coin Used by the Active AIo-

One of the rarest of American copper
coins is the underground railway token
Three years ago one was dug up in a
garden in Indiana, and it was supposed
to be the only one in existence, but two
others are owned by descendants Of the
Quakers who were conductors" on the
underground railway" for runaway
slaves before the civil war.
The copper token, says the New York
Herald, is about the size of two-cent
piece and of about the same thickness;

naming of Emperor William, but more
nearly correct answer to that question
would be "Theodor Mommsen"
torian. teacher and freethinker--the
Fatherlands grand old man. On No
vember 80 of this year Mommsen will
have lived So years. They promise to
find him hale and hearty. and with every
prospect of rounding out ripe four
score and ten. He has given way TO
younger men in literary and professional
activity, but he continues In unimpaired
possession of his marvellous mental
equipment, while physically he defies
the ravages which come with advancing
years. Thin, silver hair falling to his
very shoulders In graceful waves gives
him the visage of kindly patriarch, but
the ideal is somewhat dispelled when. in
conversations his eyes light up with the
fire of vigor and enthusiasm as he warns
to a subject in which his interest is
keen.
Mommsen has had opportunities ga
lore for the preferment ana iame tndt
.oyalty can bestcw, but titles and decora-
.icss haze never tempted him. He has
lived democrat. he says, and wants to
lie one.
Since the coTnniefion Of bis browning
work on the Roman laws. which has been
translated into eyerv modern language,
Mommsen has confined his pen to
brochures, letters and occasional articles
on current political topics. He is thor
oughly alive to the big events Of the day,
at home ard abroad, and prepared to
lend vigorous voice IL defense of cher
ished ideals. Many Englishmen hold
him directly responsible for the wave OF
Anglophobia. which swept Germany like
tornado after the outbreak OF the Boer
war. A profound and consistent adj
mirer of England. the English and Eng
fish institutions, and fluent English
speaker, Mommsen assalled the British
policy in South. Africa upon high moral
grounds. His presentation Of the Boer

years of Bismarck's tenure of office she
was identified with every movement that
seemed to weaken his hold on imperial

chaplain whom Bismarck dismissed, was

Ions Germany ever possessed, was hot

serted.
Count Won Waldersee was raised to
practical command of the army in 1873,
and in 1900 was appointed to the COM
mand of the allied forces in China. He
succeeded the immortal Won Moltke as
a field marshal, a position he now holds.
The countess friends say she is no
politician, but devout. true Christian
woman; that she carried to Germany
where Sunday is a day of pleasure, her
familys New England ideas of the day,
and has exerted her influence to modify
what is known as the continental Sun
day. She has also been strong advo-
cate of moderation in drinking.
The marriage of the New York girl
to the count was one of the striking for
eign alliances that proved happy, the
count and countess having ever been
devoted to each other
The countess has not been in this
country since 1854, when her mother
took her abroad.

Perhaps the coming discussion of the
Irish land bill in the house of lords may
give the earl of Dunraven his chance to
gain the prestige as statesman which
his admirers believe he deserves. The
earl has the advantage of being respected
on all sides A stanch conservative, he
was described recently by a prominent
liberal newspaper as essentially man
who has the courage of his convictions
and whose convictions are at least the
outcome of an independent mind actu-
ated by a genuine desire to get at the
truth" He was under secretary to the
colonies for two years-from 1885 to 1887
land as chairman Of the historic COM
mittee on sweating, which sat from 1888
to 1890, he did work that will not be for
gotten soon in this country. He also
made plucky attempt to infuse some
thing like efficiency into the house of
lords, but it goes without saying that the
effort failed.
Lord Dunraven and Mr.. Chamberlain
are good friends. and the colonial Sec
rotary and his American wife have been
frequently the guests of Sir Thomas
Lipton's predecessor at Dunraven castle,
Wales. Still keen yachtsman, the earl
of Dunraven's greatest exploit remains
his effort to capture the cup which is
now the object of a similar contest to
those in which the nobleman took part.
His life, however has been unusually
full of adventures.

Maj. Denison was born in San Antonio,
Tex. in 1862. He obtained his early ed
ucation in the public schools of the Tex
as city. Later he was graduated from
Lincoln university, in Pennsylvania, as
honor man Of his class. and In 1890 was
graduated from the old Union college
of law tnow the law school OF North
western university, carrying off the
highest honors for scholarship and being
elected as valedictorian and class ora
tor. In 1891 Mayor Washburne, of Chi
cago, appointed him assistant prosecfit-
ing attorney, position he held through
the administrations of Mayors Harri-
son, Sr., Hopkins and Swift, the last
named promoting him to be chief of his
department. In 1897 he resigned to take
up the general practice of law, In which
he built up lucrative business, with
white persons as well as colored among
his clientage.
At the beginning of the Spanish
American war Maj. Denison Joined the
Eighth regiment, Illinois national
guard and was soon after commissioned
major, and took command of the Third
battalion. He went to Cuba with his
regiment. and there Gen. Lawton made
him president of the general court-mar-

who ever held such an important place
in the army. Later Gen. Lawton APP
