CAMDEN. May 4. 1sss.-The United
States Fish Commissions steamer Fish
Hawk anchored off Washington Park on
the Delaware yesterday on its annual
visit to these waters. The steamer came
from Avoca. N. c., where it has been
stationed during the past four months.
In an interview last night, Captain
Swift said he would not be surprised at
any moment to receive orders from the
government placing the steamer in COM
mission in the war with Spain. He states
that his crew is ready and anxious to
fight for the country at any time.

Full advantage should be taken OF the
present situation to teach the rising gen
sration the lesson of patriotic devotion TO
their country. They hould be told of the
war from day to day. as it progresses.
They should be told why the country has
entered upon it, what its terrors and re-
sponsibilities are, and how high and in
tense are the motives which make men
ready to dare any fate at the call of their
country.
Such an occasion as the glorious victory
pf American arms under Admiral Dewey's
dag should in particular be used to in
spIre the rising generation with a fervid
devotion to the institutions of the country
and an unconquerable pride in its sue
eess on sea on land. in war as well
as in peace. They should be taught to

to revere the memory of those who fell in

yocating a special celebration of Admiral
Dewey's great exploit. We are glad to
see them seize upon the opportunity with
such readiness. The Board of Education
should formally set a day for the COM
memoration. The Principals should be
instructed TO prepare special programmes
Of music, prayer and patriotic d~iscourses.
No doubt the clergymen and other public
men of the city would most willingly give
their aid. and in its way the event might
be made as notable and as useful as the

LATE HOME.
pendent principally on the northern
frontier Of the kingdom. The dispute
with Austria over this question became
so violent that It was plain 1t must
eventually end In war. Bismarck's
greatest anxiety during this period was
to secure the neutrality OF France
without buying It by the cesslon of
German territory. In this he was
completely successful. chiefly owing to
Napoleon's mistaken belief that the
war would end in the defeat end HUI
initiation of Prussia.
Attempt on His Life.
On May Z. 1866, an attempt was made
on Bismarck's life by a youth named
Lionel Cohen. who hoped to avert the
coming struggle in Germany by the
assassination OF the unpopular minis
ter. Bismarck escaped with triaing
wound. On June II the federal coun-
ell. by n majority OF nine votes to six.
declared war against Prussia. Among
the states which supported Austria
were Hanover. Saxony and Hessc.
Within the next few days the three
states were overrun and dlsarmed by
Prussia. Before the end OF June the
Prussian armies had crossed into Bo-
hemin: July the Austrinns were ic-
the world-that of Sadowa or konig-
graft. Bismarck was by King Will
liam's side throughout the combat. At
Its close the resistance Of Austria was
over: but all Blsmarck's diplomatic
skill was required to prevent the fruits
of victory being snatched from his
grasp by Emperor Napoleon.
Treaty of Peace.
After prolonged conferences at Nj
kolsburg, the definite treaty OF peace
was concluded at Prague. August, 1856.
By this treaty the German bund was
dissolved. North German confcdera-
ton under the presidency OF Prussia
was erected. and Hanover, Schleswig-
Holstein. Hessc and large part OF
Saxony was anncSted to Prussia. The
supremacy of Austria in Germany was
at an end. and that of Prussia estab-
lished. The war OF 1866 left Bismarck
the most popular man next to the king
in Prussia. But he still had his Diff
culties with the parliament. for the
liberals and the radicals continued
their efforts to establish constitu-
tional regime on the English model.
and Bismarck was equally determined
not to weaken the po1ition of the crown
or to resign Its control over the mill
tary organization. He well knew that
n greater conflict than that of 1866 lay
| before the country.

More than any other cause. the
death OF Prince Bismarck's wife hast
oned his end. Il ia said the ex-chan-
cellor was never the same after he bur-
led the princess in varzin in Novem-
Der. 1894. The princess left three chill
dren-Countess Marie. born In Schoen-
hansen Aug. 81. 1sis. and now Count
ess Won Ratzau; Herbert. born in Bcr-
lin Dec. IS. 1919. and married to Mar
guerite. Countess Hoyos. and William.
born In Frankfort-on-the-Ma Main Aug. /,
1852. and married to sybille Won
Kroehlendorff. The marriage OF Bis
marck's daughter is childlcss: Herbert
is the father of three and William Of
four children. Herbert, the eldest son,
succeeds to his great fathers estate.
1t was therefore very much to Bis
marck's chagrin that he did not marry
into the German nobility. but chose
an Austrian wife Of Hungarian extrac-
ton. This marriage was SO much tho
more painful to the old man because
II happened only two years after the
forced resignation of the iron chancel-
Tor. II was only very gradually that
Bismarck became reconciled to this
Austrian alliance" as he was wont to
call the marriage.

LIFE OF PRINCE BISMARCK.

BIetch of tho Career of the Iron
Chancellor" of Germany.
Karl Otto ,Eduard Leopold Won Bis
marck cchoenhausen. diplomatist and
statesman, prince OF the German EN-
pire and field acknowledgement. came OF
Brandenburg family which traces Its
records back to the fourteenth century.
The family came originally from Stem
dal, a district about sixty miles from
Berlin. Bismarck himself was born
April /. 1915. at Schoenhausen. which
for a long time was hia favorite seat.
and the name of which he added to mis-
own to distinguish himself from the
many other branches OF his family.
The family quilted Burgstall. near the
town Of Stendal. toward the begin
ming OF the seventeenth century in
consequence OF troubles with the cleo
tor John George, and took up Its. resi-
dence in Schoenhausen. There have
been fifteen Bismnrcks In direct line
from the prince who has jus; died back
TO the first whose name has been pre-
served, who lived nearly GOO years ago.
Il is a stock of powerful virility, shot
through and through in all Its branches
with energy. Cool diplomacy. ecceu-
trlcity that is full OF method. intoler-
ance OF opposition. with n touch of the
true Mephistophelian humor-those
have been characteristics OF the Bis
marcks as far back as their genius has
been matter for study and record.
Prince Bi.marck's Youth.
Prince Bismarck In youth showed no
trace, according to the best of his
German biosraphers. of the qualities
that later won him the title of .thc
s,an of blood and IRON" In his sixth
,sar he was sent from the family resi-
dence on the Kniephof estate in Po-
1erania to an educational institute In

In January, 1855, he was appointed
ambassador at st. Petersburg. Here
he remained three years, and ingrati-
ated himself with many leading per-
sonages in Russian society. In May.
1852, he went to Paris as ambassador,
from which post he was recalled in
September to become Prussian minis
ter-president and chief adviser to the
king. Both as regards domestic and
foreign affairs his position at first was
one of extreme difficulty. At home he
found himself engaged in constant con-
fiict with the liberal majority of tho
landtag on developing the constitu-
tional system and assuming control
over the military budget, which Bis
marck was determined to retain in the
hands of the crown. Abroad he found
himself menaced by Austria, which
was striving to obtain the hegemony OF
Germany, and by Emperor Napoleon.
whose eyes were fixed on Belgium and
the Rhine provinces. The skillful
diplomacy by which he averted the lat

GERMANY'S GRAND OLD MAN.
Story of the Life Work of the Late Prince
Bismarck First Among the
Statesmen of Modern Times.

Prince Bismarck is dead. and all
Germany is in mourning. Germans in
every land are sorrowful because no
that was the founder of the great en-
pire Is no more, and people of every
civilized race lament the death Of the
master hand that changed the map
of Europe from what 1t was In 1868
10 what 1t is in 1898. Even In France
Bismarck is not hated. He was
worthy foe, and the French love
hero.
Bismarck's life would read like rn-
nance were he not Prussian. HIS
march to fame was steady, and never
for moment retrogaded.
Rocky Ford enterprise. (Rocky Ford, Colo.) 1887-1950, 1898-08-11

with Emperor William II. and retire
ment, Prince Bismarck held a position
almost unique, among the European
statesmen. He was the controlling
force in international politics and the
arbiter of peace and war. His chief
aim was to avoid conflicts bet-een
the great powers which more than
once threatened, and to preserve the
peace of Europe. With this object he
exerted himself to prevent war be-
tween England and Russia. which
seemed likely to arise out Of the events
in the Balkan peninsula in 1877. 1t
was chiefly through his efforts that the
great congress of Berlin June, 1879.
for the settlement Of the eastern ques-
ton was held and brought to a salts
factory conclusion by the treaty which
settled, for the time at least, the rela-
tons Of the states of southeastern Eu-
rope to Turkey and each other.
As chancellor of the empire Bis
marck made 1t his task to consolidate
1t with authoritative and stable institu-
tons within, while forming alliances
and political combinations which
would secure 1t from attack from with
