OF KRBPPS
CELEBRATE
Special to the Dally New?.
BERLIN. Aug. S.?The celebration
of the centenary of the great firm of
Krnppe, for which preparations have
been going forward for nearly two
years, began today at Eaaen. The
celebration is attended by the Emperor
William at the head of a brilliant
galaxy of his fellow-German
soverigns, generals, admirals, and
civic dignitaries. The
celebration will last an entire
week and will be of a most Imposing
and memorable character. The chief
feature will be a great pageant which
will symbolise the stibstltutlon of
firearms for the old weapons of the
Middle Ages. The principal scene
of the pageant will be an episode
milian 1., and 250 retired officers of
the German army are to play the \
parts of knights.
During the period of the celebration
the Emperor and other royal j
guests are quartered at the Villa Hu- t
gel. the splendid country house of r
Herr Krupp ron Bohlen-Halbach who
by marrying the elder daughter of "
the late Herr Krupp tecum* the head w
fast outside Bssen. The other no- ]
table guests at the celebration are
being'accomodated at the hotel in
Essen maintained by the Krupp company
exclusively for the accomodation
of foreign buyers of their guds,
TIM Strong personal Interest that
the Emperor Is mantfssting in the p
celebration la not surprising in view
of the fact that the Arm of Krnpps
Is almost a Government institution.
The armament branch of Ita business
Is In direct touch with the Oermmn
navy and army and studies their Jnterects
before anything elee. The ol
firm is in short an Integral part of R
the German Empire and during the m
past decade or two It baa done more w
for the military power of the empire A.
than any commercial Arm has ever pi
before been able to do for its Gov- b<
eminent. Ita patriotism needs no 8t
better proof than the fact that the r<
Arm, whil* making guns and armor to
for nearly all of thq leading nations
of the world, has steadfastly refus- ly
ed to do any business with France 01
since the Frsnco-Prussloan war. fc
The fftnnH.Mnn n# *
Downed firm wm laid In 1812 by the tk
first Alfred Krnpp. But it was his b?
bod, the second of the name, who m
are- the works their international ex
character. This he succeeded in do- e<
lnK only after seemingly lnsurmount- tl
able difficulties had been overcome, w
According to his owp statements Al- si
fred Krupp's profits for fifteen years k<
were no more than enough to pay se
the wages of his workmen, and fre- d<
quently he was at a loss to pay the m
postage of, his correspondence. is
Alfred Krupp saw the possibilities w
of the great exposition to open in
London In 1851 and decided to take
advantage of it. He had made important
discoveries in the casting of
large masses of Bessemer steely D
which had an insurmountable task si
previous to his time. The exhibit he 11
sent to London fairly astonished the ~
world and it at once established his p*
reputation. Orders began to pour in
and soon there was plenty of work 01
to do at the Essen foundries. tl
The making of heavy ordnance, w
which has made the name of these ai
works famous the world over, was fl
not then a prominent part of the bus- ai
fpfess. One of the first large orders 7
Retr Krupp got for firearms was four n
/ears later, when Prussia gave him o
the contract for her new breechload- g
era. Soon general foundry work and a
the making of small arms began to
take second place at Essen, ss heavy tl
steel siege guns and armor plate de- c
manded more and more attention. *
In 1882, after the second Alfred tl
Krnpp had been at the helm six years t
there were hot ten men employed at I
the fonndry. Bnt after he fairly got o
started Kerr Krnpp extended his 1
business rapidly, borrowing large 1
sums of capital for the purpose and 1
adding new workman by thousands *
to bis employes by tha stroke of a c

MOREHEAD CITY. N. C.. Aug. 8
?Nowhere can there be found finer
sport than is afforded at present
by the fishing at Morehead City.
Prom early morn until night vacationists
at the Atlantic Hotel are
keeping a splendid fleet of sail boats
and naptha launches busy in the adjacent
waters, which are recognized
as the beat fishing ground on the Atlantic
coast for the sportsman, especally
at this season of the year.'
While fishing is good here the year
round August is the banner month
for the sport as is well known to the
thousands who in past years have
summered at the Atlantic Hotel during
that month. Many people who
from year to year spend their vaca-1
tions at the Atlantic learned long
ago that August Is the great fishing
season here. Consequently not a few
deliberately set their vacation time
for August. That has been true of
former years and to judge by August,
reservations already entered by manager
DuBois of the Atlantic, a gTeat
many are doing that very thing this
year.
Expert fishermen say the run of
mackerel for the next week or so will
make rare opportunity for the Isaak
i Waltons. Mackerel fishing has been
good some time already. The biggest
amateur catch so far was made
yesterday when a party of hotel
guests io seven hours out pulled In
372 pounds. And it must be remembered
that the great run of
mackerel Is all in addition to trout
fishing unexcelled anywhere.
