Rousing Farewell Given the TWO De-
parting German Cruisers.

Kiel, Dec. 1.-THE German cruisers
Gefion and Deutschland sailed for
Chinese waters yesterday. The har-
Dor presented a most animated pic
ture. The shores were thronged
with people, and a number of naval
officers occupied the Barbarossa
bridge. Prince Henry entered his
launch and was vociferously cheered
as the boat left the shore. Emperor
William, in an adiniral's uniform, ap-
peared alone at the castle gate, sa-
luted the Officers and boarded. a
launch. He received an ovation. The
Deutschland, which was anchored OPP
posite the castle, hoisted the imper-
ial standard as his majesty stepped
on board and hoisted the war flag.
The Deutschland slowly got under
way with the emperor, Prince Henry
and other princes on her bridge. AS
she passed the other vessels, which
were drawn up in a line extending as
far as Bellevue, hurrahs were ex-
changed, the crews manned, yards
and guns Numbered forth salvtes
until the Deutschland disappeared in
clouds of powder smoke from the gaz-
ing spectators.

it was the democratic paper of the city
and we were both of that political
faith, we gave it our patronage. At
times both Mr.. Morrow and myself
aided in the preparation of articles for
the paper, but after time tea-table
gossip began to connect my name with
that of Mrs. Sharp in the line of sug-
costing that the widow might catch the
young lawyer, and when I heard that
there was such gossip, I kept away
from her and the newspaper Office as
much as I could.
"There were several things in the
business line which made Mrs. Sharp
incensed at me, and she came to re-
gard me with bitterness ON that ac-
count. We ceased having our printing
done at her Office, having our own rea-
sons therefor, not necessary to state.
Then Mrs. Sharp's paper was the Of
cial paper last year, and as city at
torney I gave an opinion to the city
council that one of her bills, to the
amount of $25, was not a proper
charge, and ought not to be allowed.
The council disallowed the bill, and
Mrs. Sharp laid her loss to me per-
sonally. This appeared to increase her
animosity against me-"

ton of interest in the exposition have
been undertaken by a commission ap-
pointed by Governor Scofeld, of which
ex-Mayor John c.. Koch of Milwaukee
is chairman. The business men and
manufacturers Of Milwaukee have con-
tributed one-half of the amount nee
essary to erect and maintain TIE
building, and responses to circulars
addressed to well-to-do citizens in
other parts of the state indicate that
all the funds required will be raised.
Several county boards have made APP
preparations.
Alphabetically, the Wisconsin build
ing is a pleasing type of the classic
style. The architrave of the pediment
supported by four immense, futed
Corinthian columns, forms the en-
trance of the edifice. The angles of
the building are thanked ON both sides
by pilasters of the Corinthian order,
which on the sidewalks are double
with about eight feet of wall space
between. Just beneath the cornice
and extending along the wall between
the inner pilasters, with a depth of
five or six feet, will be frescoed

Fellow citizens
Mr.. Lows speech was an exemplifi-
cation of the addresses that ne has
been delivering throughout the entire

zen of Oswego, and to Mr.. Croker as a
frequenter of the English race track,
and called on the hearers to vote for
home rule.
