RESCUES HEiNE STATUE.
German Merchant Buys Marble Mem.
oriaI Doomed by Kaiser.

Berlin, May Ii Lively interest at
tacheS to the announcement that the
| marble statute of Germany's famous
lyric poet, Heinrich Heine. which the
kaiser had barred from his AchiIleior
estate on the Island of Corfu. has been
purchased by Il Hamburg merchant
and will find dignified resting place in
THAI city.
The statue WAS erected by the late
empress Elizabeth of Austria, who was
a passionate ad,nirer of Heine's works
AS soon the kaiser bought the en-
press beautiful estate the fate of the
statute was sealed, for Heine's violent
attacks on the house of Hohenzollerr
and his general anti-German tendency
made it altogether inconsistent that he
should continue to be guest at Acilil-
leion, even in the form Of cold marble.
Last year the kaiser had the statue
removed from the prominent place
where it has been set up by the Eni-
press Elizabeth. The transfer was tao
lilly understood to be the forerunner OF
it's eventual demolition. but the kasers
business manager, Count Zu Eulenburg,
lord chamberlain of the imperial court
has just struck Il good bargain by sell
ing the statue for $500 to Julius
kampe is willing to present the statue
to the city of Hamburg provided an
appropriate place be chosen for it.
Attempts to erect q statue of Heino
in Berlin have always failed on accoun-
of the opposition which it is certain
such a project would encounter at the
