Prussia.
Of course l had a splendid
time in Berlin, left there yester.
day, Monday morning for Han.
mover, a three hours ride.
had a letter of introduction from
Mr.. Mund in Leadville to his bro
ther Mr.. Mund in Hanover, | was
very much disappointed to find
that he had gone to the seashore
for his health. His wife invited
me to supper. There are four
children. the oldest daughter and
son are away on a vacation and
two daughters are at home and
one speaks English quite we'll SO
| got along nicely. They were
very lovely to me; at supper there
was also a young man who
teaches in the High school and
he too speaks some English SO
we had an interesting conversa-
ton. He told that in Germany
it is always necessary to have a
permit to visit the schools; he
thinks that the American school
system is superior to the German
in a great many ways. In Ger
many the teacher cannot change
from one school to another, he
said that the people of Hanover
are very friendly toward Eng
land; that | suppose is quite nat
ural as the Royal House of Eng
land is an old Hannoverian fam
lily.
The people very much lament
the fact that their king was de-
posed by the German govern
ment and they were made a pro-
vince of Prussia.
l asked if the kaiser is well
liked and was answered in the
affirmative but was told he had
lost much of the peoples good
will on account of some things
he had recently done in politics.
Hanover is very quaint and
old and in many parts beautiful.
The new museum is very fine,
containing good pictures and
sculptures. The Rathans, which
is now being built, will be one of
the finest in Germany.
On the train today / was very
much interested in the converse
ton Of some Germans. / regret
that l could not understand all
that was said but it must have
been very interesting for they
became terribly excited. One
man spoke of the waste of money
in the new Rathans in Hanover
saying that it will be too large
for the next 500 years. q should
think taxes would be high, so
many soldiers, so much royalty,
80 many expensive structures. }
They spoke, too, of the great
power of the Jews in Germany;
they are becoming enormously
rich and powerful.
left Hanover this morning
at 900 a. M, the earliest / have
taken a train since l have been
here, it was a long ride of nine
hours but | very much enjoyed
the beautiful scenery. The for
ests are beautiful now with the
leaves so brilliantly colored in
brown, yellow and red. saw
scores of picturesque ruins of
formerly splendid castles and
forts commanding fine views
from the hill tops.
Heidelberg is very fine old
town, famous for its castle and
its university; the latter | WIS.,
tied this afternoon. 1t dates
from 1876 and has graduated
many noted persons.
Very interesting are the Stu
dents Prison and adjoining rooms
whose walls are covered with
painted names and caricatures;
among them l noticed the name
of the great German chancellor,
Count Won Buelow who as stu.
dent put his name here, l was
also interested, in my walks
about the city, to see memorial
tablets marking the houses where
great men lived as students.

appointed in two things: The
one is that the students of the
university are having a three
months vacation so | will moi
see them at their studies and
will not see a students duel OF
which we read so much; there is
an inn here where the students
assemble, whose owner allows
the spectators to look through
the windows to see the duel by
paying fifty cents. The other
disappointment is that | cannot
aae the castle illuminated. the
