spondent, land have now only to pack
up my trunks and git / am off tic
Cherbourg and with my family shall
sail for New York on the kronprinz
Wilhelm.
Despite the great loss which the
United States has sustained by the as
sassination of its president, which not

on, but as to who Is to play the leading
