A GREAT VOICE sTiLLED.
Prof. Harper Evinces Regret al Won
HoIst's urtireiy Death.

Prof. Hermann Eduard Won Hoist
died Jan. 20 at his residence in Fret
burg. Germany, where for three years
he has been on leave OF absence from
the Chicago university seeking TO re-
gain his health.
He stands before my mind. said
Dr. Harper. "as a patriarch whose
heart and brain for long years had
worked in behalf of the true demo-
worked in behalf of the true democrat
ic spirit. I am an American he used
to say. and my whole heart Is Arreri-
can His condition for over u year
previous TO his death was a most pa
thotic one, his mind strong and vigor-
GUS as ever. his body almost ready 10
crumble to pieces. Now that the news
of his death has come. the circum-
stances of his coming to the Univer-
sity of Chicago come back to my mind,
the loyalty with which he served It's
interests. the vigor with which he per-
formed every duty"
Prof Won Hoist was born on June
10. 1871, at Fellin in Livonia. Baltic
province of Russia. Although born
Russian, he was German who did
not know the Russian language. His
father Lutheran minister. died when
Hermann. the seventh child. was
young, and left him Il legacy OF $50,
designated for the boys education. His
early education was received in 2 pri-
vate gymnasium in Fellin. and in the
spring of 1860, at the age of 10. he en-
tered the German University OF Dorpat.
After three years at Dcrpat and two at
Heidelberg he received his Pin. ID. de-
gree from the latter institution in
1865.
The hardships undergone during his
student days had undermined his
health and he was forced to travel. In
1867 he published a pamphlet CRITICS
ing pointedly the Russian political sys-
TEN. Only by timely warning did
the future student OF American con-
stitutional liberty escape from ending
his days In Siberia by fleeing to the
United States.
Reaching New York. he was CON-
Dtlltu W WI - III al kilif 40 saeis
laborer until he found tutoring and
newspaper writing To do. In 1869 he
was commissioned by three wealthy
German merchants OF New Yorl; to
write for German readers in the old
world series of articles upon Ameri-
can life and institutions. In this I'M.
dertaking was the germ Of his great
work on The Constitutional History OF
the United States"
After the close % the Franco-Prus-
sian war won Hoist was called To the
chair OF American history aud cor.
stitutional law AT tho great university
founded by Prince Bismarck at Strass-
burg. Before leaving America in 1872
he married Miss Annie Isabelle HIATT.
2 graduate of Vassar. In 1874 after
two years at Strassburg. Prof Won

arius of modern history at the Uni !
versity Of Freiburg. which chair he
held until he became the first head |
Of the department OF history in the I

TO go abroad. He was never able 10
return.

WON CAMPAIGN WITH BULL.
How New York Assembiyrnaa Secured
His Seat.


Much surprise was evinced when
the young millionaire Robert Win
throp Chanler defeated Major Francis
G.. Landon in the race for the New
York assembly. The explanation may
be found in story which seems to
indicate that Mr.. Chanler either has
a good idea of practical politics or is
being guided by a veteran at the
game. Everything was going well with
Major Landon's campaign. despite his
unpopular move in declaring against
the acceptance of Pullman passes.
when Mr.. Chanlcr invested 5000 in a
prize bull. which he invited all OF the
farmers of the district to call at his
place and view. The ruralists went
into rapturcs over the bull. and when
they expressed a wish that they might
own such an animal Mr. Chanler
promptly presented each with n card
giving him an interest These cards
were distributed without discrimina
ton to all raisers OF cattle, and the
prize bull became the common prop
erty OF the county. Against this sort
of competition Major Landon's fight
was hopeless.
