WEIMAR, CITY
WHEREGERMAN
ASSEMBLY MET
Weimar, capital of the grand duchy
of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, 50 miles
southwest of Leipzig and 141 miles
southwest of Berlin, known as “the
poets’ city,” and “the German Ath
ens,” was chosen for the gathering
of the first German national assembly,
it is said, because it is a non-Prussian
town. It is situated in a fertile val
ley on the River Ilm, a small tribu
tary of the Saale, and has a popula
tion of less than 50,000.
Here, amid the old buildings that
remind one of a medieval past, the
410 representatives of the German
people, elected on January 20, have
assembled to adopt, reject or amend
the draft of a constitution which has
been prepared by the Ebert govern
ment, and to form, perhaps, a union
of states on the modern American
principle.
Home of Famous Men
Sleepy old Weimar, famous as the
home of Goethe, Schiller and Liszt, is
said to have existed more than eleven
centuries. Under Charles Augustus,
grand duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach,
the town became a center of liberal
ism 'as well as art. Its most impor
tant building is the palace, described
as “a huge structure forming three
sides of a quadrangle, erected (1789
1803) under the superintendence of
Goethe,” only a remnant of which,
however, with a tower, is still stand
l n
| It contains a series of rooms dedi
, cated to the poets Goethe, Schiller,
Herder and Wieland, all of which are
decorated lavishly with mural paint
ings. Near by is the house where
Goethe lived from 1782 to 1832, a
home of luxury for that day, but as
a gift to the poet by Charles Augus
tus, and presented to him by his pa
tron upon Goethe’s return from his
Italian tour.
Houses with high-pitched gables
and roofs give the town a picturesque
appearance, while the narrow, wind
ing streets of the older portion of
the place, and the vestiges of the
medieval walls, continually remind
the visitor of its historic character.
The Stadtkirche, or parish house of
worship, a Gothic structure dating
from about 1400, is a building of rare
interest. It has been slightly modern
ized, but enough of the original edi
fice remains to show its age and
classic outlines.
Burial Place of Goethe and Schiller
Among the notables whose tombs
are beneath its roof are those of the
princes of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, in
cluding the elector John Frederick
the Magnanimous and his wife, and
Duke Bernhard of Weimar, a hero of
the Thirty Years’ war. “The altar
piece is a triptych,” one writer says,
“the centerpiece representing the cru
cifixion; besides the cross stands Mar
tin Luther, an open Bible in his hand,
while the blood from the pierced side
of the Sa”.'vJi- pours upon his head.”
Another ancient church is the Ja
obks or Hofikrcher, or court church,
whose disused cemetery contains the
graves of Lucas Cranach, the artist,
and Johann Musaeus, author of Ger
man folk-lore. Another burial ground
contains the grand ducal family vault,
in whir.h flnpthft nnri Schlllor nicr> :
side by side. Bronze statues of both
poets, the work of Rietschel, and
grouped on one pedestal, stand in
front of the site of a theater built in
1825 under the direction of Goethe,
a time memorable as the “golden age
of German drama.” Here many of
Wagner’s compositions were first
given to the world. In 1907 the old
structure was replaced by a new
building.
The genius of Goethe and Schiller
characterize Weimar in other forms
of civic beauty. Goethe, some years
before his death, laid out a large pub
lic park in the form of a garden, and
without an inclosure of any kind.
There a quaint relic of its originator
remains in the stone altar around
which a serpent climbs to eat the
votive bread. Upon the altar is an
inscription to the “genius hujus loci.”
Institution* of Learning
Statues of Wleland, who came to
Weimar as the tutor of Grand Duka
Charles Augustus in 1772, the com
poser, Hummel, and Franz Liszt, are
among the other public embellish
ments of the city. The Grunes
Schloss, built in the eighteenth cen
tury, and coQtainlng 200,000 volumes,
is an interesting library and contains
also a valuable collection'of portraits,
busts and literary and other curiosi
ties.
Other public buildings are the Wit*
tumspalals, the old ducal dower house,
containing ' Preller’s famous mural
paintings of the Odyssey; the Goethe
Schiller archive, an imposing edifice
on an eminence above the River lira.
In which are treasured manuscripts
by (tumous German writers;‘the Llsst
museum and a gymnasium; a Real
schule, or school for girls, founded
by the Grand Duchess Sophia; a
grand ducal school of art, and techni
cal, commercial and music schools,
geographical institute, teachers’ semi
naries and other institutions of learn
ing.
CAPTAIN M’GILUVRAY
OF CITY OF SEATTLE
To have served the old Pacific
Coast Steamship Company, and Its
successor the Pacific Steamship Com
pany, for twenty-nine years and to be
known from San Diego to Nome is
the brief record of Captain R. D. Mc
Gillivray. In addition to being a
resident of Seattle, Captain McGilliv
ray is now the master of the steam
ship City of Seattle, so he is doubly a
Seattleite, and numbers his friends by
the score.
Captain McGillivray at the age of
10 years left his home in Scotland as
apprentice on a four-masted mark, the
Inverna. After completing his ap
prenticeship he shipped as a deck boy
in 1890 with the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company, and since that year
has sailed on a large number of their
vessels in the coastwise trade. Since
1896 he has been on the Alaska run as
mate, pilot and master and has been
in command of the following well
known vessels: Jeanie, Bertha, Port
land, Meteor, Curacao, Spokane, San
ta Cruz, Admiral Watson, Admiral
Parragut and the City of Seattle. The
first three vessels were formerly of
the historic Alaska commercial fleet
and each contributed a stirring chap
ter in the story of Alaska’s develop
ment.
It was while he was master of the
steamship Jeanie that Captain McGll
livary saved the lives of a number of
Japanese passengers, officers and sail
ors from a vessel wrecked on the
Southwestern Alaskan coast and for
which the Order of the Red Ribbon
was awarded him by order of the Jap
anese government, a decoration the
Seattle mariner naturally prizes
most highly.
DEATH IS ANNOUNCED
OF ASSOCIATE OF RHODES
LONDON, Jan. 1 (by mail).—The
death is announced of George Caws
ton, who, with the late Cecil Rhodes,
founded the British South Africa, or
Chartered Company.
George Cawston had very wide
views regarding the development of
South Africa under the British flag,
but disagreed with some of the meth
ods used to bring it about.
His disapproval of policy which led
up to the famous Jameson raid was so
strong that he resigned from the
board of the Chartered Company.
