DEATH OF BARTHOLDI
EMINENT SCULPTOR DIED IN
PARIS THIS MORNING.
Suffered From Observation-Disclosures
Fatality Of Disease-Began Design
of His Tombstone.

PARIS, October 4.-Frederick Auguste
Bartholdi, the sculptor, died at o'clock
this morning.
Hope was abandoned yesterday, but the
patient fingered through the night gasping
painfully. His wife remained at his bed
side constantly, and three physicians alter
mated in attendance.
of his wife's relatives were with her at the
bedside when the sculptor died. Tubercu-
losis developed three years ago and showed
violent symptoms during the last few
months, but Bartholdi insisted on continu-
ing work in his studio.
During the last days of his work he fully
recognized the fatality of the disease and
began to design his own tombstone. This
will show an allegorical figure holding out
laurel wreath. 1t was completed the day
before Bartholdi took TO his bed. He
leaves an uncompleted, important group
intended to be erected in Paris in honor of
the aeronautists who distinguished Them
selves at the siege of Paris. The group
partakes somewhat of the uncueness and
shows huge balloon rising above the f1g-
ures.
For days past former students, models
and sculptors had been calling at Bar
tholdi's residence making anxious inquiries
This morning a young woman, evidently
model, called, and on learning that the
master was dead she went away crying
The house occupied by the deceased is sit
uated in the center of the Latin Quarter
overlooking the Luxembourg gardens The
interment will be in the cemetery of Mont
ParnaSse
