figure.

The Grand Duchy of Saxony is about
as big as Rhode Island, with an area OF
1900 square miles and population OF
10000. Rhode Island has 42S,0OO popu-
lation.
The city of Weimar, the capital and res

ton of 31,117 I do not suppose it will
ever be much larger. 1t is a finished city.
something that is quite rare in this world
and a novelty to Americans.
Several German cities are growing even
faster than any in the United States.
Nuremberg one of the oldest cities of
Europe, and in spots the most Anticipated,
is keeping pace with Minneapolis and
Kansas City and has &c., 39 inhabit-
ants; Leipzig is growing as fast as Cleve-
land or Pittsbure, and. according to the
latest census, which is just announced,
has 5S5.743 population.
But Weimar has reached its growth.
There is nothing to attract larger pOpu-
lation except its charms as a serene.

place of residence and its advantages for
education in languages. music and the
arts.
City of Poets"
1t has been called 1.-The Athens of Ger

1t was the home of Goethe. Schiller. Her
der and other famous writer's. Four of
the six most brilliant lights in German
literature lived and worked in this little
city at the same time. They made Wei
mar famous.
1t will always be place of pilgrimage

other COmDOSerS made
Weimar their home.
1t is to Goethe. the greatest of all Ger
man poets, and one of the greatest think
erS and teachers who ever lived what
Stratford- on-Avon is to Shakespeare.
And behind Goethe is Schiller, the next
greatest poetic genius of Germany, who
deserves place beside Homer. Dante and
Shakespeare. If il We're not for GOethe's
overshadowing genius Schiller would have
been even more famous than he is.
Pastor Herder of the Lutheran Church
OF Weimar was the father of German
folk songs. To him the children of this
world owe much of the material from
which the fairy tales that have delighted
six generations are made.
Herder was a philosopher and theolO-

his life. preaching every Sunday from

gentlemen of his court needed it even
more than he.
The golden age of Weimar was the
reign of the Grand Duke Charles Angus

and Schillers friend and patron.
Schiller lived at Weimar from 1902 I'M

LIQUOR FLOWS FREELY .
IF M|DD|ES WANT t
One Hotel BIaCkIiSted Because
of Willingness to Serve
Int0xicantS.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, December 16.-That
midshipmen have found it plain sail
| ing to procure intoxicating liquors in
| Annapolis and that the proprietor of
| one place in particular had told them
| he always stood ready to supply their
| wants are two important points de-
veloped by the special board Of naval
officers detailed by Supt. Bowyers a
few days ago to investigate the sub
ject of drinking among the student
| body.
This board was appointed to investigate
one specific case of midshipman who
| was caught intoxicated last Saturday
The name Of this midshipman has not
been divulged, but the board which fin
ished up its work yesterday and fled a
report with Supt. Bowyer not only made
out a clear case against the accused. but
as was expected, the drink question was
gone into In general way. and as a re-
suit much evidence was adduced along
the line indicated above.
One Hotel Blackisted.
The Naval Academy authorities yester-
day issued an order Establishing one
place. hotel, by forbidding all midship-
men to visit it In the future. Any infrac-
ton Of the rule will be punished in &C.
| cordance with the regulations Of the acad-
| envy. Furthermore, the officials stated
that action would be taken through the
civil authorities looking to the prosecu-
ton of the proprietor Of this place.
The board which uncovered these mat
tiers was composed Of Commander Louis
NJ Mutton, head Of the department of ord
nance and gunnery. as senior member.
and LteutS. Guy w. Steeple, IT.. and Fred
H. Poteet of the discipline department.
Supt. BOwyer has not yet decided upon
the form Of punishment to be admin
istered upon the midshipman against
| whom the conviction was found by the
Investigating board. The penalty varies
| stitution. In a few previous but not very
| recent cases 'intoxication'' has been
promptly punished by expulsion.
May Get Another Chance.
It was intimated by the officials. how
ever. that in the present instance the Of
tending midshipman would probably be
given another chance, and that his pun
| a number of dement's and deprivation OF
certain liberty privileges.
The authorities have for long time
| been exerting every effort to bring about
complete suppression of drinking. and 1t
Is regarded as certain that strict watch
will be kept over the midshipmen.
Supt. Bowyer had a consultation with
| States Attorney Nicholas Fl. Green of
Annapolis. Though the result of this was
not stated. 1t is very likely that 1t had
some bearing upon the method of pro-
cedure in the proceedings to be instituted
against the local hotel proprietor.

At recent tea party where the fare

had desperately struggled at tea time.

disappointed and still hungry youth
asked her. You know very we'll it
