MEDALS AND MONUMENTS Preparations to celebrate the eightieth anniversary of Bismarck’s birth in Ger- many on April 1 surpass any popular dem- onstration ever held in that country. The Principal celebration will have nothing to do with pohtics. The grandest of alt prom- ises to be the one arranged to take place around im the vicinity of the Germania monument, in the Niederwald, on the Rhine, which will be participated in by representatives of thirty-six cities in the Rhinish district, men belonging to every shade of political opinion. The central part of the celebration will be at the foot of the monument itself, on which occasion Prof. Oucken of Giessen University will deliver the oration. A grand “commers” in the evening and the illumination of the hills and mountain peaks near by, together with great fireworks on the Rhine, will also take place. In the Black Forest similar rejoicings will occur.* All the summits of the moun- tains in that region will show bonfires on the evening of March 31. In Hamburg the municipal celebration, outside of that arranged for by the Cer- man University students, will be very ex- tensive. A political committee has assum- ed charge of a “commers,” to which every- body is invited, on the night of March 30. On the night following there will be great fireworks on the Alster, and on the night of April 1 a torchlight procession, in which 6,000 will share, is to proceed to Fried- richsruhe. The Society of Arts and Sci- ences will undertake a procession to Fried- richsruhe on the birthday morning and serenade the prince, and on April 2 the same society will witness, at a special re- served performance in the Stadt Theater, a patriotic drama and a festival play writ- ten for the occasion. Besides: that, the whole city will be illuminated on April 1. Lubeck, which ancient Hanse town con- ferred civic honors on Prince Bismarck some time ago, will also ‘ave a celebration, consisting of an address sent by the senate, an ovation by the citizens in an ex! meeting, a general “commers” and an illumination of the tewn. At noon on April 1 a special celebration, with speeches, etc., will occur on the main mar- ket square. S Celebration at Munich. Munich, too, will celebrate. A musicale will be given on March 31 in the Odeon, the principal celebration following on the next day on the Konigsplatz, with festival “kommers” in the Lion Cellar, and the laying of the foundation stone of the Bis- marek tower on the Rottman peak, near Starnberg lake. In Darmstadt, a city of which Prince Bismarck is already an honorary citizen, a general celebration of the day will occur, consisting of illuminations, decoration of the houses, sending of a fine address, school festivals, &c. Many other cities have made similar arrangements. In Spandau a Bismarck monument Is to be erected. In Nordhausen a general celebration takes place, as well as at Potsdam. The German Alpine Club intends erect- ing a Bismarck house on the Zugspitze, in the Bavarian Alps. The “faithful ones of Jever’ in Olden- burg send this year, as many preceding ones, their plover eggs, accompanied by a verse in Low German dialect, in which they wish Bismarck another score of years. In Berlin, Dresden and Munich the jew- elers have been busy executing many or- ders for birthday gifts coming from private admirers of Bismarck. The faculties of all the universities in Germany will send a joint address of welcome and congratula- tions to the ex-chancellor. The address is a splendid work of art, and the deputation to bring it will consist of the rectors and pro-rectors of the various universities. Dismarck’s Old Student Friends. Besides undertaking a pilgrimage to Friedrichsruhe on April 1, in which some 1,200 of the corps students of Germany will join, the latter will also lay the foun- dation stone to a Bismarck monument on the summit of the Rudelsburg, in Thurin- gia, to which the emperor has contributed 1,000 marks. Among the guests with this deputation of corps students will be the sole surviving member of Bismarck’s old corps in Goet- tingen, the Hannovera, Mayor Fromme of Luenburg, who will present to the prince some cherished mementoes of that time. Special Bismarck memorial medals, made of silver ard the size of a dollar, have been coined. They show Bismarck’s head on the one side and an allegory on the other. The Federation of Agriculturists will pre- sent Bismarck with a shield of honor, fash- ioned of solid silver and showing numerous symbolical engravings and enamelings, as well as Bismarckian mottoes and sayings. An address will accompany this valuable gift. The Society of German Engineers will hand Bismarek some day in April a hand- some address, consisting of 350 leaves, each a work of art. The executive committee of the Federa- tion of German Turners will present a sil- ver wreath resting on an oaken plate, em- bellished with mottoes. Art to Pay Its Tribute. The Berlin Academy of Arts, of which Bismarck is an honorary member, will pre- sent a magnificent address to him, bearing the device: “Salus Germaniae Suprema Lex.” The Society of Berlin Artists will appoint Bismarck an honorary member, and give a special celebration on his birthday, and the Berlin Society of German Art Associa- tion will present Bismarck with a peculiar gift—an iron plate, bearing in runic char- acters a prize poem by Julius Wolff. The German Society of Actors, too, will send a deputation to Friedrichsruhe. The teachers of the higher schools in Prussia will present Bismarck with an address and a fine gift. The teachers of Berlin will have a “commers.’’ The director of the Berlin gymnasium of the Graz convent, whose pupil Bismarck was in his boyhood, will present a number of interesting per- sonal mementoes of those school days, re- marks by teachers on the Bismarck of that time, etc., and the present pupils of that school will send photographs of the in- terior of the building to the ex-chancellor. In Altona a committee is collecting funds for a Bismarck monument. The people of Schleswig-Holstein, will undertake, on Ascension day, a pilgrimage to Friedrichsruhe, and erect, out of volun- tary contributions from the whole province, a Bismarck monument in Flensburg. On Acsenston day, too, a large number of members of the Patriot Club of Leipsic will present their congratulations. The ovations planned by several thou- sands of the people of Westphalia will oc- cur in Friedrichsruhe in May, those by the people of Silesia on May 19, and those of East Prussia on May 5. Grecting From the Trades. A visit en masse, with banners and em- blems, will be undertaken on April 17 by ail the Berlin trades organizations, and the affiliated bodies of other cities, and a number of them have chosen him honorary member. The singing societies of Berlin and other cities will also celebrate. The Berlin so- cieties will have a grand “kommers” in the Philharmonic. é Koenigsberg will present the prince with an artistic miniature reproduction of Fried- richsruhe, carved true to life. The women of Silesia will send a number of gifts—products typically representiag the industries of that province, such as car- pets, linen, and will also start a Bismarck fund for the relief of the poor. The people of the duchy of Anhalt will present the ex-chancelior with a fine bronze group. Admirers of Bismarck in Oldenburg will present him with an oak wreath of silver and two magnificent mares. The conferring of honorary citizenship on Bismarck has been done by a —— number yf German cities ‘The magis- 1 to appoint Bis- an honorary citizen. The same honors have been showered upon the prince by Breslau, Dresden, Leipsiz (and nearly 2 in Saxony), ineteen cities in the Palatinate, by Marburg, Elberfeld, Heidelberg, Pforzheim, Ems, Newstadt, Dressan, Weimar, Hom- burg, Iserlohn, Erfurt, Headersleben, Cob- lenz, Altenburg, Coburg and other towns, Many private benevolent funds have been endowed in honor of Bismarck’s birthday as well. Germans in Foreign Countries, In foreign countries, too, Germans have been anxious to do honor to the old states- man. The Germans of Odersa have started a Bismarck fund, which is to be used in as- sisting helpless widows and orphans. In St. Petersburg, Moscow, Charpov, Baku, Riga, Reval and other cities of Rus- sia funds have been collected to present sk with a fine gift typical of Rus- sian industry and art. In Graz the people of Styria have furnished the money to work cut a magnificent silver tankard, spiendidly embellished and enameled. From Meran Tyrol the German colony will also send a fine gift. ‘The parliamentary deputation returned to Berlin last evening, and all the members expressed themselves as highly gratified with their reception at Friedrichsruhe. During the lunch at the prince's residence the old ex-chancellor was in high spirits, and he led the conversation in an arimat- ed and brilliant manner. He reminded his guesis that the year 1895 marks he jubilee of his entrance into parliamentary service. Still Retains His Humor. Although the death of his faithful life partner last fall remains as a shadow on his declining days, Prince Bismarck is by no means devoid of his old-time humor and sarcasm, as numerous replies of his to deputations waiting on him prove. One of the most cutting, but just, remarks of that kind was when he said, in answer to a ftat- tering mot about the enormous evidence of sympathy shown im advance of his birth- day and the crowds anxious to come: “Hundreds come because of my birthday, thousands because of the Umsturz bill." Nevertheless, the desire to testify their love and admiration of the unifier of Ger- many is a spontaneous and general one throughout the country. 4 deputation of the commanding gener- als of the German army will wait on Bis- marck April 1, as the bearers of good wishes, and likewise of a fine gift. Splen- didly mounted addresses, too, will be pre- sented to Bismarck on behalf of the con- servative, nattonal-liberal and anti-Semite parties, on April 1. The National-Liberal Club will also give a banquet at the Kaiser- hof on April 1, at which the eulogy on Bis- marck will Le pronounced by Dr. Boet- ticher, the leader of the party, and each — will receive a memorial bronze me The conservatives will have a “kommers” at the Feenpalast at the same time, and the Bismarck committee will have a sim- ilar celebration, but even on a larger scale, on the eve of bis birthday. CULTIVATE NATIONALITY. Bismarck Urges the Germans to Be Patriotic. The speech which Bismarck made to the members of the reichsteg and the Prus- sian diet who called on him at Friedrichs- ruhe yesterday was interesting, as it was a review of his work and the fruit of his statesmanship. The prince thanked the deputations for the bigh honor conferred upon him by their visit, and declared that the Suchsenwald had never before seen such a nutabie company. Then he said: “I should to some extent be ashamed of the great honor, but that I feel it is not intended fur me alone, but also for the task accomplished in which I assisted, and for the political objects we thereby gained. Your presezce is evidence of the satisfac- tion of the great parliamentary bodies of the country with our success during the last decade, after severe struggles, suc- cesses, which, although incomplete, we ad- mit, were the best we could attain. (Ap- piause.) “The compliment you pay me I must share with otners. It is a source of im- mense satisfaction to me that I must share it with my former, now deceased, colleague, and must share it with many others.” Here the aged ex-chancellor paused, man- ifesting intense emotion, with tears stand- ing in his eyes, as his thoughts reverted to the past. His listeners were deeply af- fected as they stood silently for fully half a minute waiting for him to proceed. When he spoke again, he said: “Above all, I must share it with my”—another long pause—“old master, Emperor William, of blessed memory.” This remark of the prince was greeted with loud and prolonged applause. When quiet had been restored, Prince Bismarck said: “What could I have done without him and his army? I should have remained in the same swamp ihat the leaders of all former national efforts encountered, who were actuated by error in that they ig- nored the real power of German sovereign- ty and dynasty. From the best view-point in the years following 1848, that was an error. Our dynasties are, thank God, still strong in their roots, each in its own land, and this is especially the case with the great military force, which the King of Prussia undoubtedly has the power to place at the service of the national will. That was my endeavor, as soon as I, in the ca- pacity of ambassador to Frankfort, ob- served the state of the political situation. We, therefore, are indebted to the old em- peror and his allies for more than any min- ister or chancellor could have done for us. If the treaties signed by the federal gov- ernments had not borne their signatures these treaties would not have existed. If the king had not issued his mobilization order in 1866 and 1870 what would have happened? And, remember, that the dyn- asties have been far more injured by us in the course of history, not intentionally, but as the result of passing events, than by any parliamentary faction in our peaceful times. (Laughter.) “I am grateful for your patient attention, and still more for the honor you have skewn me. I regret that I am in no posi- tion to work with you in parliament” (cries of “not as much as we do”); “but I am not strong enough to stand the conflicts of life, in Berlin. (Much laughter.) In many re- spects I have become old, but at the same time I have obtained comfort and desire to close my life in the house I now inhabit; but my thoughts, perhaps, are more with you than is fit for a man of my age” (cries of “No,” “no”); “but I cannot suddenly atandon all my old thoughts simply be- cause I have grown old and am in bad bealth. You have not forsaken me, and I can give no better expression to the feeling that I have inspired than by requesting you to think of the empire even in the Prussian diet, and to not forget, when there, that you are guarantees for the em- pire, and that your king is also your em- peror, and has duties toward the empire and toward the federal states. Remember also that you must execute not only the policy for Brandenburg or Prussian, but also an imperial policy. (Loud applause.) With this thought I beg you to join me in cheers for his majesty. Long live his ma- jesty, the emperor and king!” Cheers for Binmarck. The toast was received with thunders of applause, and when the enthusiasm had subsided, three cheers were given for Prince Bismarck, who in response said: “Gentlemen, I thank you for the honor you have done me. I thank you again and again, and wish that I could give you all a bed (laughter); but I was obliged to take this house as I found it, and I never thought I should end my days here. I have always felt too old‘to undertake additions to the building. I cannot even console my- self with the sentiment that for a loving pair there is room enough in the smallest cottage (great laughier), since there is not room enough here for four hundred of my feilow-countrymen, who all love one an- other.” This happy response from the old chan- cellor, whose eyes were twinkling with merriment, was greeted with the loudest and most prolonged applause. ———__+e+—___ The Missing Merchant Found. R. Ensign Abbe, the Connecticut apple merchant, who has been missing since he was last seen at Washington, D. C., on March 6, was found in Hartford yesterday. He had been at a hotel since Saturday, but could give no account of his previous wanderings since he was seen in Wash- ington.
