Special Correspondence.
n ERLIN. Nov Count waiter
X Pucker, the highly born Ger
- man aristocrat who devotes his life
TO "a crusade against the Jews, has
jdst been released after serving n term
OF four months Imprisonment for pub
hcly melting the populace to violent
acts against the Hebrew inhabitants
~ the district OF Glogau. I'm which his
ancestral estate. Nlein-Tchirnau, Is
situated. This IS by no means the
first time that Count Puckrer has been
punished by imprisonment for Sim
liar offcnse; on the contrary. all his
sentences together amount 20 an ag-
grcgate OF between four and FIVE
years Incarceration. a part OF which
he has paid upward Of $4,000 in
fines imposed on him for insulting or
prosecuting individual Jews OF for adj
vocating violent measures against the
Semitic race collectively.
STILL BITTER.
This time, as on every other occa-
sion on which he has been released
from prison. Count Puckler has pub
licly reanrmed his adherence TO anti
Semitism OF the most extreme form
and has declared his intention OF de-
voting himself 90 the movement until
death oyertakes him. What lends adj
diuonal weight to his agitation IN Ger
many, where royal porsonagcs and
aristocrats are almost worshiped by
tho plebian population, is the fact
that he comes of very ancient FAM
uy OF nobility which was formerly an
Independent dynasty. The Puctlers
OF bygone centuries were sovereign
rulers over q small couury situated
iu that part Of Germany now known
as Snesia. and although their domin-
ions are now merged In the kingdom
OF Prussia the members Of the Puck
Ter family possess. now and for an
time % come. absolute equality OF

a familiar slap ON the soulder as his
equal

HIS HATRED OF THE JEWS.
How comes It that man Of Count
puckler's rank. attachments education
and experience should choose the Iersc-
cutlon of the Jews as the sole end and
aim OF his earthly existence various
explanations have been offered, but
none OF them ls entirely satisfactory.
~ has been related that when Count
Puckler was "a boy he attended. as is
the custom in Germany, the public state
school. IN which the children Of aI
classes. high and low alike are cducat-
ga On a uniform system, ana that tIms
after time ho was outsiuppcd Boa hia
studies and overshaduwed in his exc
lmlnationa by boys OF Jewish parCnt-
age. IN ls suggested that the wound
which hlH youthful prida sustained at
that time inspired him with that burn
ing hatred of the Jews which has in-
nuenced his whole course % Ire. Ac-
cording 10 another version. when on me-
brink Of manhood BE- was deeply in love
with "a blond and beautiful maidDn off

hatred Jew came along ana supplantcd
him in her Affection. BE that as n may.
90 b. certain that Count Walter Puckler
declared war ON the Jews when b. Was
SIN "a young man, and that he has
been WaEing hostilitles against thcm
without cessation FOR the laff 20 years.
