. FOR-LIFE

Our little girl's humor commenced with a
tiny sore on one nostril, but it kept on spread-
ing till we thought she would never get it
cured. We tried everything we could get,
but it kept getting larger ‘all the time, till
both nostrils, the upper lip, apart of the lower
lip, and up one side to the eye, were asolid sure.
We thought there was no cure, and that she
would be disfigured for life. Finally we tried
CUTIGURA REMEDIES. We used Cancun
Rasonvnxr and nearly a box of CUTIGURA
(ointment), and in a short time she was en-
tirely well, with no scar or trace of the humor.

DEATH. QDISMABCK

The Founder of Modern Germany
- is No More.

LAST ILLNESS WAS BRIEF

The End Came Suddenly but Peacefully al
10;34 Saturday Evening. Though H.4-
Had Been III for Several Days Yet Hi.-
Physician Did Not Think His Condi-
tion at All Alarming.

Berlin, July 31.—Prince Bismarck
died shortly before 11 o’clock last eve-
ning. .

Details of the death of the prince are
obtained with difficulty because of the
lateness of the hour, the isolation of
the castle, and the strenuous endeav-
ors of the attendants of the family to
prevent publicity given to what they
consider private details.

The Lokai Anzelger publishes a dis-
patch from Friedrischruhe saying that
Dr. Sshweninger was present when
Prince Bismarck died, having arrived
from Berlin at half past ten o’clock.
The prince was unconscious for sev-
eral hours before his death, and his
breath almost failed repeatedly. He
died without a struggle.

The death of the former chancellor
comes as a surprist to all Europe. De—
spite the family’s denials, there was an
undercurrent of apprehension when the
sinking of the prince was first announc-
ed, inspired more by what was left un-
said than by any information given.
But when the daily bulletins chronicled
improvement in the prince’s condition,
and detailed his extensive bills of fare
and told of his devotion to his pipe, the
public accepted Dr. Schwininger’s as-
sertion when he said there was no rea-
son why Bismarck should-not reach the
.age of ninety years.

 

 

PRINCE BISMARCK

It appears that the former chancel-

lor’s death was not precipitated by sud-
den complications, but was rather the
culmination of chronic disease—neural-
gia of the face and inflammation of the
veins—Which kept him in 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, when the Ber-
lin correspondent of the London Times
announced that his condition was most
critical. '

Otto Edward Leopold von Bismarck
was born at Sc‘honhausen on April 15,
1815. He was the fourth in a family of
six children, three of whom died early.
His father was a merry, handsome
country gentleman. full of wit, fond of
the chase, genial in manner. His moth-
er was a refined and cultivated woman.
proud, beautiful and _ ambitious; a
queen in society, a great chess player.
She was the brain of the household; the
father was its heart. She strove to
arouse ambition in her son and predic-
ted his success in diplomacy. The fath-
er took most pride in 'his son’s horse-
manship.

Otto von Bismarck passed his school
years in Berlin. and in 1832 entered the
University of Gottingen, Where he led
a wild, reckless life. During the first
three terms of his university life he
fought twenty-(use duels and received
only one wound. Retiring to the Uni-
versity of Berlin, he attended only two

lectures, but succeeded in passing his

examination with credit. Among hise
acquaintances in the university was J.
Loth‘rop Motley, the historian.

After leaving the university Bismarck
practised law and found employment
in government offices; but the restless-
ness which his university life had in—
duced was a habit which he could not
easily outgrow. He travelled in Bel-
gium and France during the summer
and autumn, and in the winter society
and the court festivities enticed him
away from the cares of official life.
One night he accompanied a young
lawyer to a count ball and was intro—
duced to Prince William. Looking at
the stately forms of the two young law
yers, the prince said with a smile:
“Well, justice seeks her young advo-
cates according to the standards of the
Guards.” This was he first meeting
between the Emperor William‘ of the
future and his chancellor.

In 1837 the young barrister removed
to Potsdam, where he served his year
in the army. In 1839 he entered upon
the management of the family estates
at Kniephof, which his father had re-
linquished to him and his brother. Un-
der his administration his farms were
made remunera‘tive. He was a country
squire of the old school—a bold rider,
an enthusiastic sportsman, a terrible
drinker. Suddenly, when all the world
was predicting the moral and pecuniary
ruin of “Mad Bismarck,” ‘he gave up
his wild courses and began t-oread his-
tory and to study theology and philoso-
p‘hy, especially the works of Spinoza.

After his falther’s death, in 1845, he
established himself at Schonhausen,
and married Fraulein Johanna von Put—
kammer. His home life was a: joyful
experience. Even on the businest days,

during the most wearisome journeys,‘
. amid the most engrossing

cares of
state, he found time to write to his
wife a few words of tenderness and
affection. “Mad Bismarck” became a
model husband. “I can’t think how I
endured it formerly,” he wrote to his
wife. “If I had to live now, as then,

.. without God, without you, without chil-

., ....._ w
..—. . .......- c-w _

 

 

dren,’I don’t know why I should not

throw off this lifelike a dirty shirt; :

and yet most of my acquaintances are
so and live their life."
Deputy and Ambassador.

The country squire was summoned
in his thirty—third year from the peace-
ful seclusion of Schonhausen to serve
his sovereign and Germany. ,He enter-
ed the chamber of deputies with a
country nobleman’s prejudices against
democratic innovation-s. “More liberty
within; .. more power without.” That
was the cry of northern Germany in
the feverish epoch in which Bismarck
came to the front.

In May, 1851, Bismarck was sent to
the Diet of Frankfort as first secretary
of legation, and three months later he
‘was promoted to the rank of ambassa-
dor. He occupied this post for- eight
‘years, and during this period his po-
litical Views underwent a radical
change.

' In May, 1862. Bismarck was appoint-
,ed minister to Paris, and soon after
presenting his credentials he went to
London and had a long conference with
Lord Palmerston in reference to his
anti-Austrian policy.

On -October 8, 1862, Bismarck was
‘summoned by King William to Berlin
to take the post of premier and minis-
ter 'of foreign affairs. It was not the
‘same Bismarck who had led “the Con-
Eservat‘ives and been a thorn .inlthe side
of the Liberals in 1848. He'wam king‘s

- man still, a born feudallst, who believ-

ed in kingship and hated social anar-
chy. But at Frankfort and St. Peters-
burg he had studied diplomacy under
great masters, and his political horizon
.h-ad widened. A hearty advocate of
the king’s plan for the reorganization
of the army, he realized the need of a
firmer consolidation of the defensive
powers of Germany.

For 28 years he held the office of
chancellor and was master of the Ger-
man empire. Space forbids us to recor
the many important transactions of
those eventful and stirring times, but.
in war and peace Bismrck’s will was
supreme.

His most brilliant: achievement after
the peace of Frankfort was the alli-
ance with Austria. During the war
with France the hostile intentions of

' Austria had been restrained by the

menaces of Russia. After Sedan friend-
ly relations were renewed, and when
Count Andrassy succeededOoun-t Beus-t
a hearty alliance was formed between
Berlin and Vienna. Subsequently, by
affecting a reconciliation between Aus-
tria and Russia, Bismarck laid the
foundations of the triple alliance. Af-
ter the defeat of the Russians agt Plev-
na he brought the German and Aus-
trian emperors together at Isch1,_'to
strengthen the bonds of alliance, and
when peace was made under the walls
of Constantinople, he converted the
three-emperor alliance into a two-em-
peror contract, opening a career for
Austria among the southern Slavs, 'giv—
ing lher compensation in Ecsnia. and
Herzegovina, for the provinces lost in
Italy, and creating a coun'terpoise to
Russia. in the Balkan peninsula. After
1.870 Bismarck used his immense diplo-
maltic influence on ‘the' side of European
peace. He was the master spirit of the
Berlin congress in‘ 1878. "He sided with
Great Britain in the Egyptian "settle:
ment. He uniformly made a benific‘enl
use of his enormous power in diploma-
cy. He resigned the ch'ancellorshlp‘on
March 17, 1890, and retired to private
life With a consciousness of having re-
ceived from the grandson'scant recog-
nition of :the services rendered to the
grandfather. ‘
Blsmarck’s statesmanship is to be
judged by its fruits, and these are to
be garnered in yea-rs to come. V

Americans Win in Canada. _
Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 1.--The Canadian
swimming championships were held

for second place‘between Douglass of
New York and Lawless of Ottawa.
Douglass was second by seven feet.

Douglass and Lawless were tied in
the swim under water, and in swim-
ming off the tie Douglass won.

Natives Fear Spain’s Rule.

London, July 30.——-The inhabitants of
the Philippine islands rhave called upon
the American press for alld in directing
public opinion to support the plan for
the retention of the islands by the Unl-
ied States.

While the islanders wish to govern
themselves, they desire that the United

States should establish a protectorate '

over the Philippine group.

America, they say, cannot dishonor
the pledges given by Consul Generals
Pratt and Wildman and by Admiral
Dewey, and they contend, 'to abandon
the country to Spain. would mean a re-
sumptlon of the spoils system and a
return tothe disorder attendant upon
Spanish sway. .

CAMPAIGN IN PORTO RICO

Uwrythlng Seems to Be Going Our Way
and There is Great Rejoicing at Ponce.
Ponce, Porto Rico, July 30.-.-—After the

_ action at Guantanamo it was believed

‘ that the enemy intended to contest the

' advance of our trops toward San Juan,

’and General Miles made preparations

:' to send General Wilson’s troops to

, Ponce, wilth a view of throwing them

'_ between Ponce and the enemy and clos-
ing in on the latter from both direc-
tions.

He sent word to Captain *Higginson
,of the battleship Massachusetts to be
'ready to cover the landing to-day. An
officer, accordingly, was sent ashore

yesterday afternoon to \formally de-

mand the surrender of the port of

Ponce, three miles from the city.

The officer was greatly surprised to
, learn that not only the port but the
, city of Ponce was ready to capitulate.

The Spanish commandant, Julison
San Martin, with 1,000 men, without ar-
tillery, had been taken completely by
surprise, and on the advice of the Brit-

. ish consul, had decided to make no re-
sistance.

A force of marine-s was immediately
.landed from the Annapolis and the
1 American flag was hoisted over the cus-

tom house in the port of Ponce. Dur-

l ing the night the Spanish troops retired

I from the city and took the road leading
to San Juan, where it is probable that
Captain General Macias will eventual-
ly concentrate all the Spanish forces in
the island.

In the morning General Miles estab-
lished headquarters at the custom
house and raised the American flag.

I Among the prizes found in the har-

' bor were seventy lighters used in load-
ing sugar ships, and -thcs-:; were used

' instead of cutters to convey the troops

ashore, during which operation not a,

man or animal was injured.

When the soldiers reached the
wharves along the water front they
were greeted wlth shouts of joy and
cheers by thousands of residents. '

There .were cries of “Vivan los Amer-
icanos!" and “Puerto Rico Libre!” The
redlshirted firemen came down to the
wharf in a body and cheered 'lustily.

Captain Lyons, wiihCompany K of
the Sixteenth regiment, immediately
marched to the city and established a
provost guard in the municipal build—
ing. The soldiers were billetted in the
i frescoe'd and gold decorated room of the
. alcade.

I On every hand the greatest satisfac-
tion was evidenced. Women adorned

themselves in their bmhtest gowns

and waved their hands and smiled as

3 the troops marched through the streets.

\The doors of the merchants’ houses
were opened and the whole city pre-

i. sented the appearance of a fete day.

The poor Were especially joyful.

The city of Ponce is, romantic and
picturesque, wirth buildings of old Moo-
rish ’ and Spanish architecture. Its
broad plaza, blue, pink and green tint-
ed'houses present a pleasing appear-
,ance and its streets are clean and well
paved.

The inhabitants are mostly native
'Porto Ricans, a well defined race re-
.sulting from a blend of Spanish and

original Caribs, with a sprinkling of
. foreigners, mostly French and Germans
. and a few English and Americans.

General Henry will effecta. juncturb
with General Wilson here‘fis soon as
possible, and their troops will await the
arrival of others on the way.

The Feeling in bladrid,

Madrid, Aug. 1.—Marked sadness is
visible in ministerial circles, from
which it is easily gathered that the an-
swer from Washington has been hard-
er than was hoped. .

The ministers of the crown are dis—
.‘cussing the president’s, reply.

The ministry desires peace absolutely
and is thoroughly sincere in the matter,
the best proof of which is the‘ ample
measures taken to repress any move-
im'ent on the pact of,the enemies of
7peace, that is, the Carlists.

Nothing is published about the reply,
and expectation is high.

The manner in which the natives of
Porto Rico received the Americans
made a deep impression here.

the watch, of course, ran down and

When Du Challlu returned to these .
villages he always eat the watch that
he had left behind, and, unobserved,
wound it up again. The“ natives heard ,
