Herr Krnpp’s Peculiarities. • •— —— ' The following stories of the l&te Herr Krupp are curious:—lt was a standing order to all those who approached him that the word “ death ” was never to be mentioned or referred to in conversation within the precincts of his great establishment. Some years ago a relation of his wife’s came to stay with him, and was taken suddenly ill and died. When Krupp heard of it he fled immediately to the neighboring town of Dusseldoff, and would not return until after his relation had been duly buried. This very naturally led to a scene with his wife, the result being that they separated. Mrs Krupp went to live at Dresden, and not even the entreaties of their son prevailed on Herr Krupp to see her before he died. The same stubbornness was shown by him when his son Fritz, who contested the Parliamentary borough (Essen) at the last general election in the interest of the Government, was defeated by the “ultra” or “clerical party.” Herr Krupp issued an edict that no employd should take into his cottage or read the local papers of the Ultramontane party. A few days after this edict a poor workman being found wrapping up his “ butterbrod ” in a sheet of this journal, was instantly dismissed. PUBLIC NOTICES. JOSEPH FARRA.
