Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-09-23

FROM Cologne they went to Berlin.
the city beautiful" Mr.. Kupitz
brought back many handsome photo
graphs OF Berlin, showing the won
derful monuments and the beautiful
streets.
While in Berlin he purchased a nov.
ell cane-umbrella. This is to all ap.
pearances handsome walking stick,
but it can be unscrewed at the han.
uie and the supposed cane slipped
off and may be telescoped and put
in ones pocket for convenience,
while there is revealed serviceable
silk umbrlla. 1t is quite a novelty.
Among the photo cards purchased in
Berlin was an excellent likeness of
Theodore Roosevelt reviewing the
German troops at Doberitz. 1t was
very difficult to obtain any OF the
latter cards as there is a large Amer
lean colony in Berlin, and there were
not nearly enough cards finished to
supply the enormous demand.
At Berlin the first large consign.
ment of Bismarck Tribunes reached
the party. They had arrived at Rome
and Munich too late to be delivered,
and had been forwarded in bunch
to Berlin where they were received.
The party took a day off to read the
Tribunes and to get some news from
their western homes.
One of the most pleasing incidents
OF the summers tour occurred at
Friedricheruh, where the party visit
ed the tomb of the great German
statesman, Prince Bismarck. AS they
approached the portals Of the Schloss,
or castle, they were denied admit.
lance by the guard. They were in.
formed that tourists had defaced the
tomb of the great German, had writ
ten their names on it and had Clipped
off pieces for souvenirs, and that the
princess had issued orders that no
one else should be allowed entrance.
Mr.. Kupitz told the guard that the
party was from Bismarck, .(orth Da-
kota, a city which had been named
in honor of the prince, but the guard
remained obdurate. Thereupon Mr..
Kupitz requested the guard to take
one of his cards to the princess, and
to tell her that they were from Bis
marck, North Dakota, and to also
tell her that the party would feel
much grieved If they were not allow.
ed to view the tomb of the eminent
| leader for whom their home city had
been named. Mr.. Kupitz said that ii
| was less than two minutes before the
! guard returned and welcomed them
within the gates, and the aged prin
k@ hr
tomb of her illustrious husband.
Mr.. Kupitz has very good photo
graph of the resting place of Prince
Bismarck. The great leader chose
the site for his tomb himself, and the
bench upon which he was accustom
| ed to rest in his older days can be
seen within fifty feet of the place
where the tomb has been erected
| Mr.. KupitZ purchased magnificent
portrait of Prince Bismarck at Berlin
which he intends to nave framed and
present to the city of Bismarck to be
hung in the city hall when it is
built.
The party also went to Anmuhle
| five miles from Friedrichsruh. Here
is massive stone tower. Every veal
on the anniversary of Prince Bis
marck's birth, the students come Out
from Heidelberg and build a huge
fire on the top of the tower at An
muhle in honor of the memory of the
famous statesman. The tower Is
known as Bismarckstein.
Friedrichsruh is about forty miles
from Hamburg. whittier the party
went after wishing Anmuhle and the
tomb of the prince.
After a brief visit at Hamburg they
sailed for America on the steamship
President Grant. They arrived a
New York Wednesday, September IA
. Tuesday afternoon, september II
about 4:30 o'clock, while the shil
was out about five hundred miles, Mr.
Kupitz dispatched wireless mes
sage to his son, Max at Bismarck
The message was received by the
ship Deutschland, which was abOu
two hundred miles closer to shore
than the President Grant. From the
Deutschland the message was sent rt

New York, and then telegrapnAd t
Bismarck. 1t was received mere the
next morning about o'clock. 1h'
message said, "Will arrive in New
York tomorrow" The cost was les!
than three dollars to send it. This i!
cited to show the wonderful progress:
! made in this line.
During the tour the party secured
over five hundred photographs of thu
various places of interest en- route.
Too much praise cannot be givel
! to the merit OF the German engrav
ings that were purchased in differen,
cities. In this class of work the Ger
man craftsmen are second to none
One of the last views that were Sc
cured was one of the party on the
President Grant, homeward bound.
| Altogether the collection is one
| which will recall for many months tt
| come the wonders and beauties of the
many places that were visited on the
| tour.
