BERLIN, oct 15.-(Special to The Bee)-
A determined Hessian public official has
decided to put an end to womens scandal
mongering. lie intends to get up u black
list of gossiping women. Copies will be
be furnished to the authorities, to landlords
and tenants OF houses to the end that the
gossipers may be boycotted out of Hat
tersheim-in-Hesse, where scandalous gos-
sip has become epidemic These women
have played such havoc with the connubial
bliss of Hattersheim, that Burgomaster
Kossler has issued proclamation which
contains the following:
Prosecutions for libel and Islander have
recently attained widespread dimensions
in certain section Of our community.
While the men folk are hard at the work.
the women fritter away their time in gos-
siplng and guarrelling. The training of
the children is neglected ana the household
suffers from lack of care, When the bread
winner comes home at night the days
events are falsely related to him. Then he
must betake himself as the protector Of
his angry wife to the police, to "a solicitor
or to an arbitration court
This is to make known that poor re-
lief will henceforth be given only in ex-
ceptonal cases to people who involve them
selves in scandal prosecutions. The police
have also been instructed to compile a
list of these persons and warn landlords
and tenants against them"
Castles of the Kaiser.
There are fifty-eight imperial palaces and
castles throughout the empire. One is at
sPosen and cost $t.5O0OoO. Wilhelm has an
nounced that his son, Eitel FREDERICK, will
occupy II. Occupancy means a few months
stay there. There are 600 rooms, large and
small in the building, and the presumption
is that the prince will have room to knock
around.
Above the Schloss castle rises a solid
square tower more than 200 feet high, domi-
mating the surrounding landscape and
typifying Prussia's hold. on the conquered,
but still uneasy Polish province. Gradu-
ally the full story is coming to light in
regard to the unfriendly incidents that at
tended the formal opening Of the castle.
The Poles we're disappointed over the
failure of the emperor to say anything
as to his policy in dealing with Posen.
About a third of the population, including
practically all the governing officials are
of German blood.
The emperor is considering an offer COM
ing from a rich merchant who wishes to
buy the castle Of Wilhelmstol. and, II is
said will sell IL. The castle was built in
the latter part of the eighteenth century
by Wilhelm VIII. Lsndgrave of Hesse. It
took nearly twenty years TO complete and.
is masterpiece of architecture The in,
terror is even more striking than the out
side, and the place is crammed with
art treasures, but it isn't circumstance

names are household words.
Kaiser's own Home.
At the time the kaiser opened the Posen
castle he declared It to be IAN emblem of
my fatherly protection" Since then his
mightiness has pre-empted three musi-
cal notes. Recently he bought a magnifi-
cent auto to which is attached horn. To
distinguish his horn from all other horns
he had 1t made so as to loot three notes
taken from a fanfare which Is one OF
Wagner's lett motifs. At the end OF the
''Rheingold," the triumphant gods, with
WOtan at their head. are on their way to
Walhalla. and Bonner, the god OF thunder
has imprOyised a strain consisting OF three
notes, and these notes the emperor sounds
In the horn of his car. He claims the ex-
elusive right to use these notes, but the
people in general must have the usual
