a curtain off the Hook early in the
morning, and it was after nine
o'clock before the watchers caught
the shadowy outlines of the cautious
ly-approaching liner. Rear-Admiral
Robley ID. Evans, commander of the
special squadron and honorary aide
to the prince, left the flagship Illinois
at $40 o'clock in the naval tug Nina.
With him we're Capt. q. A. Converse,

bassy of the German government.
They were all in full dress uniform.
The Nina met the Kron Prinz be-
yond Fort Wadsworth and swinging
around on the starboard side Of the
liner steamed up the bay. Prince
Henry, attired in the uniform of an
admiral of the German navy, and
surrounded by his naval and military
staff in brilliant uniforms, stood on
the bridge of the liner. As the tug
drew near to the side Of the steam
ship Prince Henry and Admiral Evans
caught site of each other and ex-
changed informal salutes The dis
tance from steamer to tug was TOO
great for conversation, however. As
the two vessels with fiotilla of tugs
and official craft moved in past Fort
Wadsworth the first of the salutes of
21 guns was fired. As the first gun
sounded the prince advanced TO the
end of the bridge Of the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm and stood at attention. As
he passed the big American flag float
ing over the fortifications he touched
his cap in salute, and the members
of his suite did likewise. The flag at
the jackstaff Of the Kron Prinz vii
helm was dipped, and the German
naval band accompanying the prince
played "The Star Spangled Banner"
The guns OF Fort Wadsworth were
not silent before those across the
Narrows, at Fort Hamilton. doomed
out their salute.
When the ceremony was over, the
Kron Prinz was stopped and the Nina
hauled around to her port side ana
Admiral Evans and his staff boarded
her. The passengers were gathered
on the main deck and there was a
hearty cheer as the admiral came up
the gangway. Admiral Evans was es-
corted forward at once. and in the
quarters of Capt. A. Richter. master
of the Kron Prinz, he and the prince
met. The prince came forward and
taking the hand Of the naval officer
shook it warmly.
II am very glad to see you, sir
said the admiral. Everybody in the
United States is waiting to welcome
you. II is my pleasure, sir. 10 formal

Terms of Announcement.
ELECTRIC ROAD.

The subject OF gravest impor-
tance to the business men OF
Montgomery countyis being con-
sidered by our city representa-
tives: Shall we have an electric
railway over the streets OF Mt.
Sterling and through the county
connecting us with lexington
We would have every citizen con-
slider theIquestion seriously. That
the people. of the county want it is
no longer a mooted question, that
the business men of Mt. Sterling
realize thelbeneht of such a road
was in evidence last Tuesday
when one hundred of them repre-
senting the various business inter
ests of the city voted as unit for
the road. The only question to
be considered now by the Council
and the committee from the Busi-
ness Mems Club is the safe guards
about the proposition. The build
ing of the road will not cause the
outlay Of one cent by our county
or city and it gives to us in freights
and more frequent hauls just what
we have been willing to pay for
Should the proposition with its va
rious amendments be adopted by
our council Mt. Sterling would be
first to have the road and first TO
receive traffic benefits. We con-
slider such a road Of inestimable
value to the locality adjacent to it
and through which it passes. We
have given our reasons and #
would not hurt to repeat them.
The first item is our freight rates,
reducing from 81 to u cents on
the same class. Then the mar
kets opened to little things pro-
duced by our farmers. An other
Of still greater importance is the
location Of factories, such as tobac-
co, cigars, handle, spoke, shoe, a
tannery, &c.
Another treason why we are anx-
ious to locate this road here is
this: If weldon't get it some 9TH
er place near us will and then not
withstanding our pluck we would
go to the repining list. We are
for Mt. Sterling and Montgomery
first.
This plant will not only be capable
Diminishing power for carrying pas
sengers and freight, but power for
the running Of machinery and that
at a much lower rate than we are
now producingit it. Also a special
line from the same power house
would give Mt. Sterling a compel
ing Illuminating system and it is
more than likely the expense for
our public lighting would be great
ly reduced.
To grant this line right Of way
over our streets would not be
exclusive. If there are others
that desire to share in our business
let them come, but give us this one.
