Dr. Bernhardt Continues His Talk to the Students About Goethe. At the second of his Wednesday lectures Dr. | Bernhardt said: While « law student at Strase- | burg University in 1771 Goethe became ac- | qnainted with the Chronicle of Goetz von Ber- lichingen, a book in which the deeds of that | robber knight of the sixteenth century are | recorded by himself with unaffected dignity. | There he found material such as Shakespeare found in Holinshed and Saxo Grammaticus, | which he used in the same free spirit. At the same time the young poet discovered Shake- | speare and thix fact wrought a kind of intel- | leetual metamorphosis in him, for through the | works of the great English dramatist he learned | to disregard the Aristotelian unities of time, place and action, and to respect no other laws than nature's owr. In this he fol- lowed the “original geniuses” or the poets of the storm and stress school in German literature, which jast then was approaching ite climax, and the “infection of which he could no more | escape than «child can escape the mumps or the measles,” as Bayard Taylor puts it. ‘The | drama, “Goetz von Berlichingen,” is aglorifica- tion of the club law of the The idle oppressed own rights also maintains an in- ple.

Ata few minutes to 1 o'clock this morning | Private Watchman Tom Young, on duty on Market space, noticed a flame shoot up from the balcony of the 9th street wing of the Waeh- ington Market, and, calling Officers Hartman and Fallon, pulled in an alarm. It was found that a large dry goods box filled with excelsior near a door leading to au armory contained the fire and that it had caught to the door, whieh had been burned through, and the fire was spreading. It took but little time to throw the Durning box to the ground and to extinguish the flames. ‘The damage was about $50. While rome think that it way an incendiary attempt, the police are inclined to believe gghiat it orig” inated from a smouldering cgi stump or other accidental cause. oe Mr. Walker's Lecture. | Mr. Jobn Brisben Walker, editor of the Cos- mopolitzn Maguzine, delivered an interesting lecture last night at Masonic Temple Hall on the subject of “Lhe Church and Poverty.” ‘This was the second of the course of three lectures arranged by the Cerroll Institute, and was attended by a good-sized audience.

Several days ago Dr. Robert Reyburn called the Commissioners’ attention to the brutality of two police officers toa man whom they had handeuffed taking to the station. He said in his letter that while the man was walking quietly along he was brutally assaulted by the officers, one of whom is named Edwards the other unknown. Dr. Reyburn named Mr. Henry G. Duvall asa witness and said that he thought the matter should be investigated. The Commissioners forwarded the letter to the major of police for investigation and re- port. Messrs. 8. King, W.D. Allen and William Tucker submitted letters in which they say the officers were justified in striking the men. The prisoner who was assaulted is known all over the city as “Red Bill,” one of the most notorious criminals in the District. Officers Bloom and Edwards today submitted their statement of the affair. They sy that in the first place they had a great deal of difticult; in getting the prisoners out of their house, an while on their way to the station “Red Bill” at- tempted to cut Officer Edwards. He was topped, however, from carrying out his pur- pose by Oficer Bloom, who hud to let hia pris- oner go to come to the rescue. Red Bill then drew a brick and attempted to continne the assault, when Officer Edwards struck him to protect himself. ‘They say that no more violence than was ab- solutely necessary was used. pills ect “Leste” That Are Tricks. ‘From the Philadelphia Record.
