THRONGS GATHER
TO HONOR POET
Representative Germans Assem-
bic for Program in Honor of
COuntryman's Noted Day
Exercises Before GOethe=SchiIIer
Monument Prove Simple
But Impressive

Representative Germans gathered at
the Goethe Schiller monument in Gold
en- Gate park yesterday morning to
celebrate the one hundred and fftieth
anniversary OF the birth of Schiller.
Tribute was paid to the divine poet in
addresses, in verse and in song, the ex-
ercises. simple but impressive. being
attended by large numbers anxious to
do honor to the memory of the poet
and scholar.
Charles Bundschu. chairman of the
committee on arrangements, presided.
Following a brief Introduction he pre-
scented Mayor Taylor. who spoke with
exceptional feeling of Schiller and his
work.
Mayor Taylor expressed his appre-
citation in finding SO many in attend
ance; people, he said, who would lay
aside the material things of life long
enough 10 celebrate the name of one
who reached the top Of literary efforts.
He compared Schiller to a bright star
in the heavens. a monument to which
the eyes Of those TO follow will look
with admiration. He insisted that
Schiller was not dead; that his life
would last until poetry was forgotten;
the end Of time.
That IL was not material things but
poetry by which we live, the speaker
insisted. The material things allow
us TO exist, said the speaker, but to live
right, as Gothic. whose likeness tow
cred above on the pedestal with Schil-
ler, said: Each day should be started
reading a poem or hearing music -
That Schiller was the god OF poets was
claimed by the mayor.
John Hermann, president of the
American-CSerman league, spoke of
what Schiller stood for in art. That he
was poet who combined passion, i'm
agination and artistic form in a way
superior TO any of the other German
poets. He approached, according to
the speaker. the immortal Shakespeare
and the greatest of Frenchmen of let
ters. Honore de Balzac. Schiller, Her
mann insisted, realized form in art
thought. il, taught ii and preached it.
That Schiller lived but ~ years, the
speaker contended, was natural in view
OF his greatness. He likened him to
Shakespeare and Balzac and others
who died comparatively young. That
his short life should not be lamented.
knowing that in that brief span Schil-
Ter found time TO pour out the golden
treasure Of his soul and mind.
An original poem on Schiller. by
Charles Bundschu, was read by Mrs.
Bundschu.
Members Of the Krieger verein, in
uniform and bearing arms, and under
command Of Lieutenant Lengefeld
next saluted the statue. At this time
the Misses Elsa Hermann. Freda Tie
mann, Henry Muller, Bernadeth Kugel-
berg. Frida Won der Mehden and Earna
. Weggemann placed large wreaths OF
greens at the base of the monument
Frederick W. Dohrmann. president OF
the park commissioners, spoke. not so
much on the life and work of Schiller,
as upon what the Germans have
brought to the United States and what
they have received in freedom from
their new and chosen country.

her stepmother, was distinctly favor

expressed the opinion that the defend

wealthy merchant, whom the state as
sumes Nine. Steinheil desired to marry,
testified to his absolute belief in her
innocence.
STATES CASE MAY FAIL
The states circumstantial case
against Nine. Steinheilt seems to be
breaking down and it is already ru-
mored that the trial may be abandoned
and new investigation ordered.
Anti-Dreyfus papers, like the Libre
Parole and the Patrie. have again be-

tions that the crime involved a political
plot for the destruction of evidence
regarding the death of former Presi-

FORMER PRESIDENT NAMED
Louis Anethene Gregori, who shot
Major Dreyfus at the canonization OF
Zola in the Pantheon in 1908, has writ
ten an open letter to NJ. de lValles pre-
gliding demanding that he he
heard on the subject of the death of
the former president, and the anti
Dreyfussards seek to give color to
their insinuations by emphasizing the
veiled threats which Nine. Steinheil re-
peatedly made in open court to reveal
her relations with prominent men in
every walk of life should she be driven
to bay.
Judge de Wales. however, evidently
assumes that former intrigues have no
bearing on the case and twice has
practically defied her to draw in what
ever scandal and names she pleased.

said to her.
CHANGE FOR TRIAL COURTS
At the conclusion of the Steinheil
case Minister of Justice Barthou will
propose certain changes of procedure
in the courts of France.
This decision of the minister, made
known today, was Influenced largely by
the criticism expressed in the United

Barthou has been much impressed by
this foreign comment and plans to take

amining the accused and the witnesses.
He would restrict the prerogativeS of

Notwithstanding the prohibition

The meeting at which this asser-

Dr.. Richardson's topic was "The

Hunting parties sta ted out after
the bear week ago when his tracks

Determining Each Mans Faith.

Every life will have It's religion ac-
cording to Its development 1t is
folly to look for uniformity in faith
until you have uniformity in the
faithful. until all minds are alike the
things those minds can see must vary.
The religion of the man who thinks
in the terms of the laws of a universe
must be different from that of the
one who cannot think beyond his din
ner pail or his back yard.
If religion Is the life of ideals, the
power within us that pushes out and
on toward the realization in our
selves and our conditions of the best
we know and hope for, then each
mans faith will be determined by his
vision and his knowledge; every indi-
vldual creed will be conditioned by
the individuals stage of culture.
It Is folly for the trained mind TO
seek satisfaction in the ideals whose
bounds are set by the unframed
mind, just as it equally Is foolish for
him to mock at the vision that cheers
the lowlier life. Nearly all the sup
posed difficulties between science and
religion arise from the attempt to
force to common viewpoint in relig-
1ous minds that dwell almost q whole
universe apart in all the rest of their
thinking.

Exercise For Fowls.


There is no doubt that exercise is
very beneficial to fowls. Among hu-
mans the lack of exercise combined
with high feeding causes most trou.
blesome diseases, such as dropsy.
The same laws govern the animal
world. There are several things that
exercise does. One Of these is, 1t
prevents the birds becoming too fat,
which In turn destroys their useful
ness. No matter how much a bird
eats, IL 1t exercises 1t will keep the
rat from accumulating, as the mus
cular exertion causes the lungs to
work excessively, and in doing this
they burn up large amount OF car.
bon, which comes from the food. Be.
ing burned up in this way, 1t does not
accumulate on the body and around
the intestines in the form of fat.
In the poultry house, whole grain
should be fed in cut straw or chaff
spread thickly. II it is fed in hay or
whole straw the task of uncovering 1t
is too light. The finer the straw the
more perfectly will it cover the grain
that is sown in it. and the more diff.
cult will be the task of getting it out,
which the hens must do kernel by
kernel. If poultry keepers would
follow this plan their fowls would lay
more eggs, for the reason that they
would not be over-fat and would be in
generally good health. The mere fact
OF exercise does not cause the produc.
tion of eggs.

Sighted Mercies-Luke II: 11-ts
These men who were thus cleansed
at the word of Christ failed to do a
very little thing, but 1t Indicated a
want of appreciation that made 1t
equivalent to a very great sin. They
did not think 1t was worth while to go
Immediately to Christ to thank him.
They thought some other time would
do as well. They could not see that
The receiving of Gods gifts placed
Them under immediate obligation to
the giver, and that the fact that the
gift was prompted by love made that
obligation all the more urgent.
Men think because God Is so kind
they can afford to be careless and
take their own time about owning al.
legiance to him. But because God
WINS by love and never by force, eva.
sion of loves obligation becomes all
the more serious. 1t Is not a small
thing that we postpone the giving of
ourselves to God while we are busy
fussing with things that do not mat
ter.
This is alike the sin of youth and
age. God showers us with his gifts.
Indeed, he "loadeth us with benefits"
and We take those gifts as a matter Of
course, and do not show either by
word or by act any appreciation OF
their worth. We take everything so
freely offered, and for all these mer-
cies we give nothing but sights; we
pass them as scarcely worthy of no
tlce.
Almost every mother knows how
God must feel, for the child is apt to
take the mothers love as a matter Of
course, and neglect any expression Of
thankfulness. II slighted gifts like
those Of love and sacrifice are break
ing the hearts of many mothers, no
less is ii true that the Sights given
the Father are breaking the divine
heart And remember that the sin
that wounds the heart of God the
deepest is the greatest sin. Judged by
this standard, these nine lepers were
sinners above the average, but not
sinners above many Of our own time.
