GIFT FROM GERMAN EMPEROR,
Bronze Statue Of Frederick the Great Ac'
cepted With Appropriate Ceremonies.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--Hailed by
military blair of 20 trumpets, the
bronze statue of Frederick the Great,
presented to the American people by
Emperor William, was unveiled this
afternoon by the Baroness Speck Won
Stern burg, the wife of the German
ambass ador. The weather was ideal.
The line of march was crowded with
spectators. Both the war and navy
departments were closed at noon to
permit the officers to participate. The
ceremony was marked by great mill
tary and official display. The statue
was presented on behalf of the emper-
or by his personal envoy, the German
ambassa ador, who made brief ad-
dress. The president made the chief
address OF the day and accepted the
gift in behalf of the American people.
The last notes OF "Die Wacht Am
Rhein" were drowned in the enthus-
iastic greeting given the president as
he arose and advanced to the edge of
the stand to deliver his address of
acceptance. The president said in
part:
"Mr. Ambass ador: Through you I
wish on behalf of the people of the
United States to thank his majesty,
the German emperor, and the people
of Germany for the gift to the nation
which you have just formally deliver.
ed to me. l accept it with deep ap.
preci alton of the friendly regard which
it typities for the people of this repub.
lie both on the part of the emperor
and on the part of the German people.
I accept it not merely as the statue OF
one of the half dozen greatest soldiers
of all time, and therefore peculiarly
appropriate for placing in this war
college, but | accept it as the statue
of great man, whose life was devoted
to the service OF a great people, and
whose deeds fastened the approach OF
the day when united Germany should
spring into being.

PASSED THE 5000 MARK.

The proof of the popularity of q
newspaper is in it's circulation. IT n
papcr docs not stand for the best IN
tercsts of the community in which it
is published aud uphold the rights OF
the people it cannot succeed.
1t has been tine aim OF the Evening
News to do this and the management
is pleased to announce that the circu-
lation Of this paper has now passed
the 5000. This is larger than has
ever been reached by my daily news
paper in this city. This circulation
is rock bottom and does not include
the extra copies being bought on ac-
count of the contest now being run.
For a little more thai n year the new
management has had hold of the
Evening News and the circulation
has grown steadily. 1t made necessary
the new press and the new quarters.
1t was a case Of make these changes
or stand still. We refused to do tine
latter and chose the only alternative.
The attention of the advertisers OF
this city and community is called to
this passing of the 5000 mark. 1t
means that the Evening News is the
greatest advertising medium in this
section. This paper goes into more
homes in this vicinity than any other
one publication and its value over all
others can thus be deducted.
