tor which depositors received surplus
certificates bearing 4 per cent, inter

nient last March have apparently been
forgotten and the career of Dr. Hill In
Berlin promises to be a brilliant one.
It Is alleged that the objection was
based principally upon the belief of
the German state officials that Dr.
Hill's comparative poverty would pre
vent him from maintaining an estab
Ishment in accordance with the lav
ish precedent set by Ambassador
Tower.
Dr. Hill was until recently the
American minister to the Hague and
ever since his appointment to that
post has been highly popular in
European diplomatic circles. He was
selected to fill this important vacancy
for two reasons—first, because of his
rank in the world of literature and
diplomacy, and, second, because of his
promotion would be in execution of
Secretary Root's cherished plan for
application of civil service principles
in the diplomatic service.
Dr. Hill is nearly 58 years old, and
is an accomplished linguist, having
made an especial study of the Ger
man language. He has had a wide
experience in diplomacy, and at
Washington is regarded as one of the
most tactful and ingenious officials in
this branch of the service. He was
born in Plainfield, N. J„ June 10, 1850,
and is the son of a Baptist minister,
the Rev. David T. Hill. He went to
college at Suffield, Conn., and at Coop
erstown, N. Y., and early in life began
writing.
The majority of his writings are on
philosophical subjects, although one
I of his best known works is a "History
of Diplomacy."' He was made presi
dent of llucknell University in 1879
and in 1889 he became president of the
University of Rochester, which place
he filled until his resignation In 1896.
He then spent some time in Europe
studying law and diplomacy and in
1898 was appointed Assi tant Secre
tary of State ty President McKinley.
He was socially popular in Washing
ton for five years, and filled the chair
of European diplomacy in the School
of Comparative Jurisprudence and Di
plomacy in the capital.

The Size of Greet Men.
The Iron Duke has always been a
mystery. I have read that be was six
feet four Inches tall. I have read also
that be was only five feet six inches.
Historians tell us he was anywhere
from five feet six inches to five feet
eleven inches. Tbere are some-tbings
seemingly very simple which it is im
possible to establish. •This is one of
them. Historians are stijl guessing the
height of Julius Caesar, the size of
Hannibal's bead, tbe weight of Alex
ander the Great and tbe general di
mensions of Solomon. Why. we are not
even sure of tbe stature of George
Washington. It might be believed tbat
Napoleon, Alexander the Great nnd
Jay Gould were of the same size, three
bumptious little chaps. And it is com
mon. belief that Charlemagne, Erling
the Bold, Frederick the Great, Robert
Rrtice, Sir William Wallace. General
Winfield Scott and Richard Coeur de
Lion were all top notchers, "Old Fuss
nnd Feathers," formed In tbe prodigal
