SKETCH OF THE PRINCES CAREER.

Prince Bismarck. the Iron Chancel-
lor" of Germany died last Saturday
night at II o'clock, at Friedrichsruhe.
The death of the ex-chancellor comes
rs surprise to all Europe. Despite
the family's denials there was an un-
dercurrent of apprehension when the
sinking OF the prince was first an
nounced, inspired more by what the
family left unsaid than by any infor-
nation given.
1t appears that the ex-chancellor's
death was not precipitated by sudden
complications, but was rather the cul-
of the face and inflammation of the
veins-which kept him I'm constant pain
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.
Although Prince Bismarck was ex-
tremely low on Wednesday he so ral-
lied on Thursday that he was wheeled
out to the dinner to celebrate with his
assembled family the 51st anniversary
of his wedding. He never for a moment
believed himself in danger until the
last day. on Monday he ordered some
new pipes and smoked one on Thurs
day and then conversed brilliantly on
the topics of the day. discussing the
trial and sentence of NJ. Zola and the
peace negotiations between Spain and
the United States.
On Saturday evening grave symp-
toms appeared. Death came easily and
painlessly. DIR. Schweninger was able
to some extent to tighten the last mo-
ments, wiping the mucous from the
patients mouth and enabling him to
breathe more freely.
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 whole family were assembled at
the bedside at the time of his death,
and DIR. Schweninger DR.. Chrysander
and Baron and Baroness Merck were
