follows:
The victory was the joint product
OF everyone fortunate enough to be

you in their name than to appropriate
the congratulations to myself. Surely
It was large enough to win laurels for

than the lucky place Of this ship In
the line where the hrst heavy assault
was made, and afterward by her speed
and her direction to keep In the scrap.

that our conduct that day has won the
peoples love and earned the nations
admiration. 1t IL this which encour-
ages US in the public defense. no mat

ments the naval hero was busy man.
He was kept shaking hands until each
individual had been saluted. At Aus
tell there was call for the distin-
guished traveller to come to the plat
form. to which he responded.
When the train pulled up at the sta
ton at Lithia Springs. where the mob
was waiting. a crowd OF guests from
the Sweet Water Park hotel had gath
cred to Join IN the welcome. The
meeting between mother and son was d
pathetic one. The son kissed his

rested her head upon his shoulder.

driven furiously to the castle. where
he found the prince already uncon-
scious.
According to an unofficial account tho
death agony was prolonged. The
prince died without taking leave Of the
family. Fer fully an hour ne suffered
terrible difficulty In breathing. and his
groans were fearful to hear during the
death struggle. His powerful consti-
tuition fought to the last. The family,
gathered In an adjoining room, was
plunged into the very anguish Of grief
by the means from the death chamber.
The despair was intensified by Or.
Schweninger's absence. although medi-
cal art was unavalling. The only con-
ISOLATION was that the prince was un-
conscious during the last two hours.
DIR. Schweninger was In time only to
afford some relief In the final moments.
The last words Prince Bismarck ut
tered were addressed to his daughter
Countess Won Rantzau, who wiped the
perspiration from his forehead. They
were: Thanks. my child"
The prince lies as he used to sleep.
In an easy position. with his head
slightly inclined to the left. The ex-
preston on his face Is mild and peace
full. 1t is remarked that his head re-
mained warm for an unusually long
time.
In accordance with Prince Bis
narck's wish ne will be buried upon
the hill opposite the castle, in the vicin-
ity Of Hirschgrupps.
