A Proposed Floating Exposition.
New York Tribune.

German enterprise has at last awak-
ened to a scheme which sounds Ameri-
can in its originality. The export society
has decided to build the "Floating Ex-
hibition Palace of Germany, - having
raised ) 600 ,000 marks for this purpose.
The plan is to beard the foreign indus
trial lion in his den, so to speak, and to
sail from port to port showing the superb
GRITTY of German wares. international
exhibitions, - says the prospectus, "do
not occur often enough, and must be
supplemented in this way The vessel
is to be called the Kaiser Wilhelm,
and will be the work of Ger
man shipyards, and upon a scale
more magnificent than that of any craft
afloat. According to plans, the ship will
be l72 meters long, twenty wide and
fourteen high. 1t will have four engines
propelling as many screws. The mate
rial will be principally German steel.
The cost of a two-years tour is estimated
at 3 $50 600 marks. The income from
the rented space-l000 to 10000 marks for
each booth-and from sales will be, it is
thought, ut least ,2G0 800 marks, leav-
ing balance of 4,1l0 900, or over

on the pages of the ledger. Emperor
William has promised his aid to the en-
terprise, and it is hoped that the vessel
will sail for Hamburg on her first voyage
in the spring of 1890.

Another Hitch in Arrangements for the

Sulliran-Kilrain Fight,

NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-Another hltch
occurred to-day in arrangements for the
fight for the championship of the world
between Jake Kilrain and John l.. Sulli-
van. The parties seem TO have great re-
spect for the law, and the deep seated
desire to keep strictly within its bounds
To-day a gentleman, who gave his name
as Richard Roe, and announced himself
as the friend of Kilrain, called on Colonel
Colvin, editor of the New York Clipper,
and expressed his willingness to cover the
$4,000 deposit that the Sullivan party had
put up. Mr.. Roe produced long
yellow envelope and handed it TO Mr..
Colvin. That gentleman opened its hap
and took ont a ponderous document
written in foolscap. 1t was four and a
half pages long and was evidently inter
esting reading for Colonel Colvin. After
he had perused it he closed it, and
replacing it in its yellow envelope,
laid it on his desk. A moment
later Mr.. Roe deposited i'll Mr..
Colvin IS hands an envelope. 1t was I'M
sealed, and from its depths Mr.. Colvin
fished out $4,000 in fresh clean bank
notes. He counted them twice to assure
himself it was $4,000, replaced the
Hwad'' in the white envelope, and put it
6uU q idTGtE OUT tOUtdllllll1 TIE llbll'lFl-
Gus document in the main drawer of his
desk. Mr.. Roe looked anXiOusly as
though part of the ceremony had
been overlooked. He whispered TO
MIR. Colvin who replied, ''Oh, no, l
can t do that We never give receipts
for money deposited with lis under those
circumstances. -
"Weil, keep it secret, - was urged by
Mr.. Roe.
81 don't care anything about that, -
was the response, cit Is not our custom
aud can t do IT -
''The Sullivan party got no receipt. The
fact of the deposit will d. duly chrOnicled
in the paper That is all the receipt we
give
Further persuasion proving unavailfng,
Mr.. Roe said he could not leave the
money unless he was given receipt. Mr..
Colvin opened the drawer of his
desk, and took out the envel-
opes and handed them back to
Mr.. Roe. Mr.. Colvin stated that
the document was largely denial of Sui
Ivan IS claim to the championship of the
world, and made counter claim of the
title for Jake .Kilrain. 1t offered, or
rather its maker offered, to make Il
match with Sullivan for the title and
stake of $4,000 n side. (This is $4,000
less than Sullivan s challenge in
tended, and so it was not an accept
ance of it), the diamOnd-studded gold
championship belt now held by Kilrain;
and it also provided that Kilrain as hold
er of the championship should be permit
ted to name the time and place of the
fight. Virtually it amounts to an ignor-
lug of the points of Sullivan's chal-
lenge and substitution of
others more to Kilrain's liking.
Heretofore in all championship matches
the time and place of the combat has
either been settled by mutual agreement,
especially the time of the battle has been
decided by tossing a coin.

A Boston Woman's Age.
Boston Herald.

There appears to have been no lack of
humorous incidents attending the Iegis-
tration of the women voters here in Bos-
ton. The latest story comes from the
headquarters of the registrars, and may
be accepted as entirely authentic. A
large number of the women seemed to
have been exceedingly annoyed at being
obliged TO give their ages to the reg is-
trars, and in number of eases they
forfeited their right TO vote rather
than to state how old they were. In one
instance spinster gave her age as
"twenty-one plus. ,s'What do yeu
mean by "twenty-one plus?' - inquired
the registrar. ''I mean, sir, that l am
over twenty-one, - was the tart reply i.
"We cannot allow any of that nonsense
here, - replied the official; ''you must
give your exact age if you desire to be
registered This she persistently de-

:, S3,.F, Snecial Edition.

,.S1e,h january l, 1899, THE GAZETTE
will print a special edition, devoted to 4
historical review of the city of Fort
Worth, its various manufacturing and
commercial enterprises, its rapid growth
and development from mere prairie
trading point to great commercial cen
ter, with railroads radiating in every di-
rection and business houses winning trade
from every quarter of the state.
The facts and figures given will be col
lected and prepared with great care, the
object being to furnish q reliable statis-
teal history, which will not only be of
interest to the casual reader, but will
also be of permanent value TO file as a
work of reference.
Persons having friends and correspond
ents who are inquiring about Fort Worth
as place of residence or business viii
find this issue of THE GAZETTE of great
value and can save time and money by
laying in such q supply as will meet their
requirements for months to come.
The man with property to sell in or
about Fort Worth will find that a copy of
THE GAZETTE will give the man who
wishes to buy more information concern
ing the advantages offered by the city
than could be told by scores of pages of
private correspondence. He will, there
fore, be wise to invest in as many thou
sand copies as he thinks he can place to
advantage.
The volume of statistical and historical
matter to be handled leaves only lin
tied space to be devoted to advertise
ments, and those who desire to avail
themselves of the advantages of an I'M
rivaled advertising medium should place
their orders early. Enough copies of the
paper have already been sold to insure an
edition of 90 900, and the probability is
that it will take 100 900 to supply the de-
maud.
This edition will offer advantages for
advertising individual business and for
advertising the city which will not be en-
joyed soon again and liberal patronage
will rebound to private gain and public
good.
