Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Science. when

had been surprised in 8 recent "trip through
Germany at The popularity Of President Roose-
Welt IN that country. In the course Of one din
ner. al which he WAS the guest Of homer. a pro-
fessor turned 10 him and said:
That is great man who fills your Presidential
chair. Mr. SChiereH'
AND you have a great man right here in this
Hand replied Mr. Schiercn "a man whom many
Americans think stands among the foremost Of
Ire day ] mean your Kaiser"
What team he ana Roosevelt would make"
exclaimed the professor.
The presentation Of the Kaiser's picture to the
Brooklyn Institute has led to a rupture among
the authorities that may lead 10 results not at
al pleasing 20 BTooklynites, and not especially
10 the interests Of the institution itself The
trouble and its origin said to be as follows:
Dr T. p. Hyatt. member Of the Department
OF Philateiy in order 10 increase The postal col
lection on exhibition, some time ago wrote a let
ter 10 the Emperor lie explained that for two
years the museum has been enGeayoring 10 Sc
cure collection Of postals from GERMANY. but
with little success, and then asked the Kaiser's
assistance. He marked the letter personal and
private. The Kaiser got the letter. IN time Dr
Hyau was notified TO appear at the German
consulate IN Manhattan. There he was told
'ial '4le Kaiser was willing % comply. The col
lection Of postals, which was in the course or
P''P1i@'ioH IN Germany unfortunately lacked
