Mr. Kraus had been receiving treatment at the Institution since last July, He was fifty-one years old, A widow, four sons and two daughters survive him, A pensioner of the Prussian Govern- ment and winner of the Grand Prise of Rome, the name of the sculptor was established in rope before he came to America in 1 In this country he continued to win fame, and it was the Aisappointment of his ambition to pro- duce a masterpiece which is sald to have caused his mind to give way. Ho had partially completed a model In clay of a herole figure of Belshazzar at <he moment of seeing the handwrit- ing on the wall, when it began to crumble and Kraus was compelled to abandon the work. His mind became unbalanced soon afterward. Among his noted pleces in America are the Theodore Parker aml the Cris- pus Attucks monuments, and the lowe Btate Soldiers’ Monument.
