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.

A Pill
the 111.
" 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.
