DOWAGER EMPRESS DEAD
Mother of Emperor William of Ger

Cronberg, Aug. 6.--Dowager En-
press Frederick died yesterday at
6:15 p. IN. The death of the dowager
empress was somewhat sudden. At
4 o'clock her physicians reported no
change in her condition. Emperor
William and her majesty's other chill

statement that the dowager. empress
was dead was given out officially at
Homburg castle shortly after noon.
Copies We're posted in half the shop
windows of the town. The blinds
We're drawn in the windows of many
of the residences and all flags were
half-masted. A little later the prin-
cipal street of Homburg was filled
with shoppers buying black. Then
came word that the news was false.
There seems little doubt that the
message came from Friedrichshof, al
though who sent it no one seems to
know. Count Marshalhaupt, who
gave out the accurate announcement,
| has been summoned to Cronburg. The
| false news was photographed widely,
and many German cities displayed
signs of mourning. When the official
| contradiction was sent, this was
ing emblems in Cronburg We're al
lowed to remain. These We're great

drichshof f1uttered down to half

brought out fog poles bearing Ger
| man colors at half mast. with crepe
above and below. Even the cottages
We're decked with a scrap of black.
Soon after nj ghtfall Emperor VIII
| liam, accompanied by the empress
and the crown prince, drove back to
Homburg. Whether the body will lie
in state has not yet been determined.
The details for it's removal to be in
tered by the side of the remains of
| Emperor Frederick will be discussed
in Homburg tomorrow. The dowager
empress knew her days were few.
She had said farewell to most of her
servants. It is understood that she
has arranged for the future of near
ly every one of them. She had eN-
pressed Il desire that not much
should be known by the public con-
corning her disease, lest some should
be saddened by the condition of her
sutferings. There was much reluct-
ance in summoning King Edward, as
it was not desired that he should
have long wait. Tonight the chill
dren of the deceased placed floral
| tributes around the body. The face
wears singularly peaceful express
sion, almost childlike, having shrunll
from its normal size. In the course
of the evening several kilograms of
coincidence arrived from European
sovereigns addressed to Emperor Will
liam.
