AN EMINENT GERMAN.
Paul Heyse of Munich will leave a great gap in the social and literary life of the fatherland. In the social life of Munich he has for years been a prominent figure. Almost six feet tall and weighing upward of 200 pounds, he carried himself with the soldierly bearing gained by service in the army. Best known as a novelist, he is also a poet of much merit, as well as a noted wit. As a young man no one would have predicted for him a literary career. He never read books for pleasure and it required coercion on the part of his parents to get him to finish college. Early in life he had an unfortunate love affair and went away to hide his sorrow in Italy. There the literary fever seized him and shortly after he wrote his first book, "In Paradise." His best-known novel is "The Children of the World," which has been translated into almost all the modern languages. The Heyse villa, near Munich, has been for years a center of attraction for famous people.
