DEATH OF BISMARCK. THE FOUNDER OF MODERN GER MANY IS NO MORE. * The End Came Suddenly nl 10;34 Saturday Evening. Though He llud lleeu lit for Several Hay. Vet HI. l'lljoiclan Did Not Think HI. Condition Alurinlng. Berlin, July St.—Prince Bismarck died shortly before 11 o'clock last eve ning. Details of the death of the prince are obtained with difficulty because of the lateness of the hour, the Isolation of the castle, and the strenuous endeav ors of the attendants of the family to prevent publicity given to what they consider private details. The Lokal Anzelger publishes a fllß patch from Frledrisohruhe saying that Dr. Sshweninger was present when Prince Bismarck died, having arrived from Berlin at half past ten o'cldck. The prince was unconscious for sev eral hours before his death, and his breath almost failed repeatedly. He died without a struggle. The death of the former chancellor comes as a surprist to all Europe. De spite the family's denials, there was an undercurrent of apprehension when the sinking of the prince was flrst announc ed, Inspired more by what was left un said than by any information given. But when the dally bulletins chronicled improvement In the prince's condition, and detailed his extensive bills of fare and told of his devotion to his pipe, the public accepted Dr. Schwlningeris as sertion when he said there was no rea son why Bismarck should not reach the age of ninety years. PRINCE BISMARCK It appears that the former chancel lor's death was not precipitated by sud den complications, but was rather the culmination of chronic disease—neural gia of the face and inflammation of the veins—which kept him In constant patn, that was borne with the Iron fortitude which might have been expected. The beginning of the end dates from July 20, when the prince was confined to his bed. He had been several days prostrated before an inkling of his de cline reached the world, when the Ber lin correspondent of the London Times announced that hlB condition was moat critical. Otto Edward Leopold von Bismarck was born at Sdhonhausen on April 18, IMS. He was the fourth in a family of six children, three of whom died early. His father was a merry, handsome country gentleman, full of wit, fond of the chase, genial In manner. His moth er was a refined and cultivated woman, proud, beautiful and ambitious: a queen in society, a great chess player. She was the brain of the household; the father was Its heart. She strove to arouse amblMon In her son and predic ted his success In diplomacy. The fath er took most pride In his son's horse manship. Otto von Bismarck passed his school years In Berlin, and in 1832 entered the University of Gottlngen, where he led a wild, reckless life. During the first three terms of his unlvsrslty life he fought twenty-one duels and received only one wound. Retiring to the Uni versity of Berlin, he attended only two lectures, but succeeded In passing his examination with credit. Among hiße acquaintances in the university was J. Lothrop Motley, the historian. After leaving the university Bismarck practised law and found employment In government offices; but the restless ness which his university life had In duced was a habit which he could not easily outgrow. He travelled in Bel glum and during the summer and autumn, and In the winter society and the court festivities enticed him away from the cares of official life. One night he accompanied a young lawyer to a court bail and was intro duced to Prince William. Looking at the stately forms of the two young law yors, the prince said with a smile: "Well, Justice seeks her young advo cates according to the standards of the Guards." This tvas he flrst meeting between the Emperor William of the future and his chancellor. In 1837 the young barrister removed to Potsdam, where he served his year In the p.rmy. In 1839 he entered upon the management of the family estates ■®t Knlephof, which his father had re-' llnqulshed to him and his brother. Un der his administration his farms were made remunerative. He was a country squire of the old scnool —a hold rider. .n enthusiastic sportsman, a terrible drinker. Suddenly, when all the world was predicting the moral and pecuniary truln of "Mad Blsinarck," he gave up ibis wild courses and began to rend his tory and to study theology and philoso phy, especially the works of Spinoza. .After his father's death, In 1845, he established himself at Schonhausen, and married Frauleln Johanna von Put kammer. His home life was a Joyful experience. Even on the buslnest days, during the most wearisome Journeys, amid the most engrossing cares of state, he found time to write to his ■wife a few words of tenderness and wfifeotlon. "Mad Bismarck" became a .model husband. "I can't think how I .endured it formerly," he wrote to his wUe. "If I had to live now, as then, ■without God, without you, without obll ,re&, I don't know why I should not f throw off this life Hke a dirty shirt; and yet most of my acquaintance* are so and live their Ufa" The country squire was summoned In Mi thirty-third year from the peace ful seclusion of Schonhausen to urve Ms sovereign and Germany. He eWcr •d the chamber of deputies with * country noDieman b prejudices against democratic innovations. "More liberty within; more power without." That was the cry of northern Germany in the* fcvori&li epoch in which Bismarck came to th front. In Alrty, 1351, Bi.marck was sent to the Diet of Frankfort as first secretary of legation, and thi-co months later ha was promoted to the rank of ambassa dor. He occupied this post for eight years, and durins this period his po litical views underwent a radical chance. In May, ISC2, Bismarck was appoint ed minister to Paris, and soon after presnting his credentials he went to London and had a long conference witn Lord Palmerston in reference to hi 3 anti-Austrian policy. On October S. 1862, Bismarck was summoned by King Wllitam to Berlin to lake the post of premier and minis ter of foreign affairs. It was not the same Bismarck who had led the Con servatives and been a thorn in the side of the Liberals In 1848. He was a King's man still, a born feudalist, who believ ed in kingship and hated social anar chy. But at Frankfort and St. Peters burg he had studied diplomacy under great masters, and his political horizon had widened. A hearty advocate of the king's plan for the reorganization of the army, he realized the need of a lirmer consolidation of the defensive powers of Germany. For 28 years he held the office of chancellor and was master of the Gor man empire. Space forbids us to record the many Important transactions of those eventful and stirring times, but in war and peace Bismarck's will was supreme. His most brilliant achievement after the peace of Frankfort was the alli ance with Austria. During the war with France the hostile intentions of menaces of Russia. After Sedan friend ly relations were renewed, and when Count Andrassy succeeded Count Beust a hearty alliance was formed between Berlin and Vienna. Subsequently, by affecting a reconciliation between Aus tria and Russia. Bismarck laid ths of the triple allianoe. Af ter the defeat of the Russians at Plev na he brought the German and Aus trian emperors together at Ischl, to strengthen the bonds of alliance, and when.peace was made under the walls of Constantinople, he converted the three-emperor alliance into a two-em peror contract, opening a career for Austria among the southern Slavs, giv ing her compensation In Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the provinces lost In Italy, and creating a counterpoise to Russia in the Balkan peninsula. After 1870 Bismarck used his Immense diplo matic Influence on the side of European peace. He Was the master spirit of the Great Britain In the Egyptian settle ment. He uniformly made a beniflcent use of his enormous potver in diploma cy. He resigned the chancellorship on March 17, 1890, and retired to private life with a consciousness of having re ceived from the grandson soant recog nition of the services rendered to the grandfather. Bismarck's statesmanship ia to be judged by Its fruits, and these are to be garnered In years to come. EXTRA SESSION NOT EXPECTED. i Semite to Meet to' Ratify a Iriewty. Washington, Aug. 3.—There probably will be- no extra session of Congress, though the Senate will have to be cal led together for prompt ratification of the treaty of peace If the present plans of the president prevail. It is stated at the White House that unless thers should be some extraordinary develop ment, the House will not jneet until It convenes in regular session next De cember. This statement, made on the authority of the president himself, In an answer to personal Inquiries, Is the contradiction to reports current among public men that Congress will soon meet to draft legislation to meet ths demands that will follow the close of the war, as well as to give formal as sent on the part of the Senate to the treaty.

" They'll do you good," a physician said in giving some pills to his patient, a woman who had suffered for months from diseases which baffled skillful treat ment. His words proved true. The woman rejoices. The hurry and bustle of the housewife is extremely wearing upon the delicate or ganism of womanhood. Her intense earnestness in whatever she undertakes, tempts her constantly to go beyond her strength. Mrs. L. E. Browning, of Pueblo, Colo., was one whe did this. "Eight years ago," said she, "my hus band died and I was left with three child ren to care for and educate. "The burdens of life fell heavily upon me. but I determined to make the best of it. I succeeded in my undertakings for a livelihood, but in doing so overtaxed my self, and undermined my health. I was very ill about two years ago with blood poisoning, caused by an abscess that had not received proper treatment. "The disease settled in my throat for a time, causing intense agony. " Then inflammatory rheumatism set in. For four months and a half I was a prisoner in my room, most of the time confined to my bed. My hands were swollen so that I could not feed myself, and the swelling in my feet and ankles would have made walking im possible ii I had been strong enough. "One day, after considerable treatment, my physician brought me a box of pills. ' You need a tonic,' he said,' and some thing that will act at once, and this is the best medicine for that purpose.' "Pilkl" I exclaimed in surprise as he opened the box and showed them.

Yes,' he replied,' these are Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, but you need not be alarmed, they are not physic, and my word for It, they'll do you good.' " Before I had been taking them a week I noticed a great Improvement in my con dition. Soon my rheumatism was gone. " 1 grew stronger each day and now am in the best of health. " I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the best tonic. "A friend not long ago was telling me of her mother who is at a critical period in her life. "She was subject to terrible fainting spells, and the entire family would work over her. " Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have not only stopped the fainting spells, but given her so much strength that she is able to take up life's duties again." To more highly endorse her words, Mrs. Browning made affidavit before George W. Gill, Notary Public. All diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood, and most all come from that, are cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They act directly upon the blood. Build ing it up with lacking constituents) it be comes rich and red, the various organs are nourished and stimulated to activity In per forming their functions, and thus disease is eliminated from the system. These pills are sold everywhere, the sale being enormous. NIAGARA FALLS- Low-Rate Excursion, via Pennsylvania Rail road.
