Some Leipzig student players recently visited him at Doom. Said Wilhelm, addressing them: "The only thing that bears me up here is the constant growth of the monarchist movement in Germany. I cannot understand why my abdication was taken as a matter of course by the German people when I had done such immeasurable good for the country, always seeing to it that even the poorest had a sufficient income.

In another week the Copley will close its doors, perhaps forever. The Stuart Street extension seems to be a settled doom, and what is to become of the Jewetts remains a riddle. There was a well grounded report recently that they had rented the Playhouse in Chicago for a summer experiment, with a view to permanent settlement in the West.
