Luther's Home Preserved.

The house in which he lived for three
years while at school at Esenach is still
preserved very much as 1t was then. Two
large rooms on the ground floor are main
tanned as a wine and beer saloon and in
the corner is a music box which plays
Luther's hymns and other religious mu-
sic. The floor is sanded: old-fashioned
oak tables are scattered about with old
fashioned oak chairs. The wallis are
painted with scenes in Luthers life, and
any one Of whom you may make in
quiries in Eisenach will assure you that
this very respectable resort is patronized
by the clergy and the most highly es-
teemed laymen, who sit around and drink
beer while they discuss theological ques-
tions and politics and listen to the Or
chestrian play "A Strong Fortress Is Our
Cod and other Luther music.
The hausfrau will take you upstairs to
little room in which Luther slept, when
he boarded there from his fifteenth to his
eighteenth year, from 1893 to 1901, and she
will show you several relics Of him. This
was not boarding house, but the home
of Frau Gotta, who took Luther in from
the street and gave him q home.

old church dedicated to st. George
Within the dark walls is an elaborate
pulpit, several monuments Of big men
who have worshiped there, q suit Of ar
NOR worn by one Of the bravest OF the
electors OF saxony, and various other
relics. Along toward the end OF the
fifteenth century this church was the
chapel Of a monastery Of barefooted Car
melites, who maintained a school in one
Of the cloisters. which was taught by one
Master Trebonius. He must have been
a rare pedagogue for those days. His
most distinguished pupil tells US that he
was so polite that he always took of his
hat and bowed respectfully to his schol-
ars whenever he entered the classroom
He explained that he did SO because
among those boys we're future burgo-
masters, chancellors, doctors and magis-
trates.
One Of them was Martin Luther. who
was sent to Eisenach to school when he
was fifteen years old because his mother
had three brothers there, respectable
working men, although there is no evil
dence that they ever did anything for
their nephew. On the contrary he was
compelled to sing in the streets for money
to pay his board.

Came Of Noble Family.

Ursula Gotta belonged to a noble fam
lily named Schalbe, who founded a col
lege and were influential in that part Of
the country for many generations. Her
husband, Konrad Gotta, was a merchant
We know very little else about him, but
Frau Gotta was highly respected for her
accomplishments as well as her piety
and charitable disposition.
The story goes that when Luther SANG
as a choir boy in the Church OF St
George the beauty of his voice attracted
her attention, and when she discovered
that he was singing for aims In the
streets on cold winter evenings she called
him into her kitchen, fed him, sent him
away with his wallet flied with bread
and meat and told him to come again
whenever he was hungry. After several
visits she offered him a home and he re-
manned a member Of the family as long
as he lived in Eisenach.
In 1914 Luther had an opportunity to
repay her kindness and took Henry Gotta,
her grandson. into his own home at Wit
tenberg when the latter came to the uni
versity there as q student

Founded by st. Elisabeth.

There used to be several converts at
Eisenach, the largest having been found
ed in the middle ages by ST. Elisabeth,
wife of one of the margraves Of Saxony.
She was famous for her piety and good
works. She lived in the old castle OF
Wartberg and distributed aims to the
poor, bread to the hungry and clothing
to the naked She sold her jewels. and
emptied the treasury Of her husband at
4 time Of famine to feed the starving;
she went into the hospitals and dressed
loathsome wounds that no one else would
touch, and called to her home Wretched
outcasts from the forests and the caves
and humanized them. A foundlings
home at Eisenach, which she built and
endowed in 1890. still exists. She founded
nine mona steries and nunneries, and
finally, after she had given everything
she had to the pc r, spent the closing
years of her life in nut In forest,
where the peasants believe that the birds
and wild animals brought her food. She
was afterward canoniZed by the sacred
college at Rome. and is the patron saint
of many a deyOut soul in the Thuringtan
forest. She was the daughter Of a Hun
garian prince.

WHO OWNS THE WATER?
Farmers On Shores of Clear Lake
Have Hunters Arrested for Trespass-
To Decide.

Special to Times Republican.
Clear Lake, Sept. 5.-A little thing
to begin with but possibly a much
larger thing before it is ended, is the
arrest Of Harry Montague. Glen Kon-
valinka and Leonard Ewers, who were
hunting at Clear Lake. 1t involves the
question of hunters rights on bodies OF
water owned by the state. The SUI
preme court. after protracted legal
battle, established the water line of the
lake. Prior to this time land that Is now
overlooked was owned by private par-
ties and they still claim il. In hunt
ing. these men, in boats, went on this
land, which is covered with water, and
which the supreme court says belongs
10 the lake, but the meandering line
was esta blished before the court made
this decision. The men arrested be-
iieve they were right in hunting on this
land or on this water and the pre-
iminary hearing. which will be held
possibly Wednesday. will engage some
OF the bes. lawyers in the north part
OF the state.
