(Received lltli March, 8.50 a.m.) NEW YORK, 10th March
An attorney undertook a pleasant task to-day to inform Prince Fritz Wilhelm Holm that he had inherited a million sterling. Upon arriving at the prince’s hotel the lawyer learned that the prince had died half an hour before from double pneumonia, lie was born at Copenhagen 49 years ago. The prince served King Nicholas of Montenegro. Perhapst he outstanding feat of the prince’s remarkable career was his finding in a remote part of China the famous monument, erected in A.D.-781 to commemorate the arrival of Christian missionaries in the sixth and seventh centuries. He was the holder of forty decorations, a member of thirty-two scientific societies and the royal academies of thirteen kingdoms. The prince never wore an overcoat, an eccentricity which probably induced the fatal illness.
