Archabld Bad Day for
Respondents.

other dispute between the attorneys
In the election contest, yesterday.
Mr. Holgato tiegan tho examination
of a witness by asking him his age.
Mr. McDonald objected to the ques
tion on the ground that nothing was
ninterlal until it had been shown that
the witness had voted for the oillce ot
countj' trensurer at the fall election.
Mr. Holgate contended that he could
ark tho questions In whatever order
he saw fit, and that the opposing coun
sel could not govern him In this re
gard It wns n trivial matter but both sides
were stubborn and when they lnslstpd
on a ruling the commissioners had It
certllled to court.
Judge Aichbald decided in Mr. IIol
gato's faior, holding that the exami
nation could possibly bo for the pur
pose of showing that the witness had
Illegally assisted somebody In prepar
ing a ballot or something ot that na
tuie. It was another bad daj for the re

BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS.
The stage wns tastefully set with a
lobby scene, embellished with a wealth
of palms. A marble bust of Bismarck
surmounting a tall, black pedestal was
the central figure. In the back ground
were two large Hags, the red, white
and blue, nnd red, white nnd black,
their poles crossed just at the rear of
the pei'estal holding Bismarck's bust.
Bauer s band of forty members with
their rich unlfotms seated In a semi
circle on the stage, added much to the
pretty effect of the setting.
The programme opened with Beeth
oven's "Funetal March," by the band,
after which Dr. Ludwig Wehlau, pres
ident of the evening, made the initial
addiess. In n few appropriate words
ho mentioned the ocension of the meet
ing and then pioceeded to explain why
Germans love, revered and honored
Blsmaick. He sketched the bloody
history of the land now eomprllng the
empire, desciiblng the scenes that led
to the conditions which confronted the
Iron Chancellor when he flist con
ceived n United Fatherland, and then
bilelly went on to tell how fiom this
chaos Bismarck brought order, and
how by his wondeiful will, foresight
nnd valor made a reality of what had
been the fond dream of poets, a unit
ed Germanj', a Fatherland powerful
and tranquil, occupying her proper
place among the nations of the world.
DR. WEHLAU'S ADDRESS.
In concluding his addiess. Dr. Weh
lau leveited to the occasion itself In
these woids:
Muny people in Amcilean cannot com
prehend our lovo nnd revoicnco for the
eld country, and think It even wrong and
dangcious. I wish to say our love for
tho fatherland Is a law of nature as the
love of tho child to its mother. Onlj that
man, In following tho good Imputes or
his nntuie, preserving n grateful remem
brance for the lnnrt In which his cratllo
stood who cherishes deep within his
bosom the memory of his mother, her
words ot comfort, tho loving hand which
would fain protect her child in all hours
of danger, tho heart that beats tor the
absent ono until tho last throb, that man
who rovcrences tho memory of his fath
er of his watchful caro and guidance,
with loyalty until grim death calls him,
only such a man can feel a fitting love
ror the country of his choice, that love
which Is always ready to sno-lllce n'll
worldly posscxslcns, jes, even his hearts
blood, If need be. Only such a man is
worthy to bo called u true and ralthtui
citizen.
The audience sang "Die Wocht am
Rhine" to the accompaniment of tho
band after which Rev F. E. Haas de
livered In German a biographical
sketch of Bismarck, It was an elo
quent and scholarly effort.
Chronologically he depicted tho life
of the great statesman from the day
of his birth. April 1. 1815. to his de
mise July 31. 1838, He plctuied Bis
march during his first school days
from 1S21 tfi 1833, followed him In his
Jrjlltary edutatlon, .received In the
jeuis 1836 nnd 1837; his management
of his father's estates and his election
to the Prussian Lundtac
He dwelt at length on the ardent
love of Bismarck for the house of Holi
enzollern and the decided position he
took In the revolutionary spirit of 1818-
IKjO,
He next traced Bismarck's diplomatic
caner, telling of his serving as an
ambassador nt St. Petersberg and Par
Is, (ISC?,) and then spoke at length
of his activity us minister of Prussia
and later as Chancellor of tho German
empire outlining the events that led
up to and mado that possible,
Blsmuick's pleasing personality, Ills
pure home and personal life, his iron
will In duty, his absolute honesty and
his charitable disposition made him the
fllgfrlcd of the new' Germnn empire,
tho speaker said. Ho closed with the
memorable words of Bismarck: "Wo
Germans fear God and nothing else."
"Duetscliland, Ductschlnnd Nobcr
Alles," wns sung In concert, tho band
accompanying, nfter which wns given
tho stereoptlcon views, eighty In
numbct, leproduclng the most Impor
tant scenes In Bismarck's life. Fol
lowing this the band plajed "Jubel

encore to which Pi of. Bnuer lespond

rection of Professor Theodore Hember
ger, rendered a pleasing selection com
posed for the occasion by Professor
Hemberger.
The concluding address was by Judge
F. W. Gunster. It was delivered in
English. He said In part:
JUDGE GUNSTER'S ADDRESS.
As children of a great family we meet
tonight to pay our humble tribute ot re
spect to tho memorj of ono whoso lite
and achievements added new lustre to iho
glorj of the race from which ho sprung.
From a German standpoint In the ranks
of great men tno llrst place Is easily as
signed to Bismarck. Ho possessed every
element of greatness. He was morally
great. In his earlier dajs, there Is no
doubt, ho was a hard-drlng, ducl-ilghtln?
boisterous student, but ho was alwajs a
student and when responsibility came he
laid aside these hiblts and devoted his
energies to tho practical qu-stlons of life.
Ho wns a profound believer In God and
his personal and domestic life aro with
out a stain. Ho wns gieat In action, not
alone ablu to concclvo gieat plans, but to
can j- them out. Nothing could obstruct
tho accomplishment of his Imperious will.
Thlrtj' j ears ago a German union was a
chimera. How Bismarck mado It a real
ity wo will nover know until wo lenrn It
from his own writings.
Great as Bismarck was in his nctlvo
life and achievements, ho was equnllj
great when ne retired to private lifo.
From the very naturo of human charac
ter It could hardly be expected that ono
chancellor should seive three emperors,
and when tho time of disagreement ar
rived, realizing, no doubt, that the great
purpose of his life had been accomplished,
with dignity and grace, he voluntarily
surrendered to an emperor, whom ho had
made possible, the dignities of nn otlice
which he had created and which no m in,
In tho hlstotv of tho German people, had
ever filled. He could truly sav with the
Great citizen of Rome" "I havo icndeied
to my country nil tho great services
'which sho was willing to receive nt mv
hands, nnd I hive never harbored a
thought concerning her that was not di
vine." The programme closed with the au
dience rising and singing with great
splilt "The Ktar Spangled Bannor."
The observance was under the nus
pines of a committee composed of rep
resentatives of the leading German
American organizations of the city
and vlclnltj'.
