Uncle Sam’s New Il'arship, the New
York, Launched at Philadelphia.
THE MONAROH or THE NAVY
She Is the Largest and llIost Forrnidable
Battle Vessel Ever Consti‘ucted in
the “'CStern Hemisphere—Chris-
tened by Miss Page.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.—The armored
cruiSer New York, designed to be the most
formidable as well as the largest man-Of~
war in the United States navy, was launched
Wednesday afternoon, with appropriate
ceremonies, at the yard of the William C.
Cramp & Sons’ Ship and Engine Building
company.
The chief interest of the early afternoon
centered in the arrival of visitors from New
York and Washington. One of the 'cars in
the Washington train was the private car of
Charles E. Pugh, vice president .of the Penn-
sylvania system. This had been intended
for the use Of President Harrison, but as
In‘gent executive business made it impos—
sible for him to attend the exercises, the
car was placed at the disposal of Mrs. Harri-
son and a party of her friends.
The vice president and Mrs. Morton and
Secretaries Tracy and Noble were on the
Washington train, and among those who
came over with them were Senator Gray of
Delaware, and Mrs. Gray; Senator Higgins
of Delaware, Senator Aldrich of Rhode Is-
land, and Mrs. Aldrich; Senator McPher-
son of New Jersey, and Mrs. McPherson;
Senator of Washington, Senator
Dolph of Oregon, and Mrs. Dolph; Senators
Allen
Frye, Hawley, Stockbridge and Manderson.
Representative Sperry of Connecticut, Rep-
resentative Sayers Of Texas, Admiral
Walker, United States navy; Representa-
tive Henry Cabot Lodge Of Massachusetts
and Representative Herbert of Alabama.
On the New York train came Edward
Lauterbach, of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company; Captain Snow and a committee
of twenty from the board of trade and
transportation, Stephen Taylor, James Selig-
man, Lloyd Phoenix. Colonel Elliott F.
Shepard, George F. Spinney, Mrs. Ernest
Thalman, Captain Senor Don Manuel de
Carie, Lieutenanthommander Miller, of the
naval reserve; A. H. BI‘Own, of the Cunard
line; George Y‘T’eed, Commodore Van Sant-
voord and General Josiah Porter, adjutant
general of New York state. Governor Hill,
ex-President Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland,
Mr. and Mrs. YVhitney, Chauncey M. Depew,
Governor-elect Flower and several other
distinguished men found themselves unable
to accept the invitation to the launching
and sent regrets.
The Christening Party.
On a platform at the ship’s bow an altar
had been constructed. It was decorated
with bunting. Within its rail Miss Helen
Page, of New York, was to stand to break
the customary bottle Of champagne over the
bow at the moment that the vessel started
on its first voyage. The christening party
gathered on the platform where Harry W.
Cramp was in person in charge of the ar-
rangements. In his pesseSSion was the bot—
tle of champagne which Miss Page was to
break over the New York’s bow. It reposed
in a cream colored case. Around it had
been woven in exquisite network Of gold
cord, from which-hung cream colored rib«
bons fastened together by a tassel of gold.
From the neck Of the bottle hung three
streamers. One of them, of. pure white,
had the name of the New York printed on
it in letters of gold. The others were blue,
with narrow border strips of read and white.
On one of them ' was printed Miss Page’s
name, on the other the date of the cere- ”
mony.
When the hour of 2 O’clock arrived the
workmen under the hull began to knock
away the long poles which had served as
props at the vessels sides. Before this the
battering ram and the mallets had driven
the wedges slowly and evenly into the sides
Of the cradle until they had raised the bull’s
enormous weight clear of the keel‘ blocks.
Then these blocks were knocked away one
after another and the great hull rested quite
free from the ground against the sides of the
huge timber cradle which had been built‘
about it. During all of this time the noise
had been almost deafening. The incessant
pounding, the clatter of falling timbers and
the shouts of the workmen had filled the air.
in: “'ortl Given.
Conversation among the guests of the oc-
casion had been ahnost wholly suspended as
they watched with earnest interest the
progress Of the work. The last of the
“shores” or side timbers had been knocked
away and the last of the keel blocks had been
displaced. All that held the hull and its
timber cradle were the big iron bolts that
fastened the cradle to the ways at a point
near the bow. Just below these bolts on
each side a line had been thrown across the
timber. On each side of each of these run-
ways at the place marked by this chalk line
a workman took his place. They held two
big saws over the runways and Waited for
the signal to put them in motion. 4T0 cut
through the timbers at this point would free
the cradle from the restraint Of these big
bolts, which were all that stood between the
New York and freedom.
Mr. Cramp escorted Miss Page to the
altar, on whose eminence she stood in full
view of the waiting thousands. The fore-
man gave a last look up and down the line
of workmen under the hull. The work
seemed complete. He looked up for the
signal. Mr. Cramp nodded. The next min-
ute the big saws began to move backward
and forward, cutting narrow paths through
the timbers. The thousands who stood
watching the vessel were silent. The noise
of the saws sounded clear and distinct
through the breathless stillness. Miss Page
grasped the champagne bottle in her right
hand and prepared herself for quick action.
“I Christen Thee New York.”
'Crack! The strain of the 3,500 tons’ weight
had anticipated in part the work of the saw.
One of the timbers had broken. A half
suppressed murmur for a. moment drowned
the creaking of the cradle timbers. It died
away suddenly. Crack! The other timber
gave way, and a quick, sudden animation
thrilled through the great hull. Thousands
held their breath and watched for the second
movement of the vessel. It came with a
quick jerk that carried the cradle hardly an
inch along the runways, yet the movement
was evident-to all of the anxious watchers,
none more anxious or nervous than those

standing by the side of the prow on the
christening altar. Miss Page stood with
the bottle uplifted, :ziinost touching the
steel. A third quick movement came; fast
on its heels a for-.342}. and fifth, and then
suddenly the huge hull started on its voyage
to the river.
Suddenly, but not too suddenly for the
christening party. “Now,” said Mr. Cramp
in a whisper, and responding to the signal
Miss Page broke the bottle of wine against
the fast receding prow. and in a clear, dis-
tinct tone said, “I clais'tcn thee New York.”
As the vessel started down the ways every
timber beneath her groaned under her
Weight. Faster she moved and faster. As
her keel struck the water the shrill whistle
of a tugboat rent the. air. Ahundred others
answered it in, every {one of the scale, while
from the engines on The coal trestles of the
Reading railroad beyond came a discordant,
deafening answer. Above that uproar no
voice could have been heard at ten yards’
distance.
The Queen Afloat.
Faster and faster moved the great hull
until, to the accompaniment of this shrill
Whistling chorus and the waving of a thou-
sand hats and haudkerchiefs, it glided into
the water, scattering over the river’s sur-
face the wedges and other timbers which
had gone down with it. As the hull entered
the water the current caught it and turned
it almost broadside on to the shore. There
was a rattle of chains and splash on each
side of the bow. The big black anchors had
been dropped, had caught on the river’s bed
and before the ship had begun to feel her
freedom she was once more a prisoner, float-
ing idly and cumbrously on the tide. From
her anchorage she will be towed to one of
the wharves, where she will lie probably for
nearly a year while workm'n fasten on her
steel armor, put her boilers and engines in
place and fit her out for sea duty.
The tug whistles were still sounding spas~
modically when Mr. Cramp eséorted his—
guests to the banquet where the collation
was spread. The room was brilliantly illu-
minated with incandescent lights. A large
round table at one end of the room had
been decorated especially for Mrs. Harri-
son and the other distinguished guests of
the occasion. Smaller tables were laid near
this, each intended for a party of four. At
the other end of the room were spread two
very long tables.
At the luncheon Mr. Cramp presented to
the ladies of the christening party exquisite
souvenirs of the occasion. They were chate-
laine pins, the design being the letters U.
S. S. N. Y. curiously strung together on a
trident. The souvenirs for Miss Page and
Mrs. Harrison were Of gold; the others of
silver. ~
At the close of the collation the special
trains for \sthington and New York left
the shipyard on the return trip. '
The New Cruisor’s Dimensions.
The armored cruiser New York is not only
the most formidable cruising vessel ever in
our service, but also the largest and most
powerfully engined ship ever built in the
western hemisphere.
The dimensions of the New York and her
principal characteristics . re as follows:
Length on the load water line, 380% feet;
breadth, including side armor belt, 6i feet
10 inches. ~
She has three decks besides the protective
deck. Her propelling machinery consists of
four vertical inverted direct acting three
cylinder triple expansion engines of the
latest type. Her steam is generated by six
double ended eight furnace main boilers of
16 feet diameter and 20 feet 8 inches length,
besides two auxiliary single ended two fur-
nace boilers. The total grate surface is
about 1,000 square feet, and the total heat—
ing surface about 35,000. At full power,
with 130 to 132 revolutions, her engines are
expected to develop 4,500 indicated horse
power each, or a collective total of 18,000,
whichis calculated to give her a sustained
trial speed of twenty knots.
The Vitals of the ship are protected by an
armored deck springing from the sides about
five feet below the water line, sloping up
eleven feet to a point one foot above it and
extending the whole length Of the ship.
The battery consists of six 8—inch breech—
loading rifles, twelve 4-inch rapid fire guns,
a. secondary battery of sixteen small rapid
fire and machine guns, and six torpedo tubes.
Her full war complement will be thirty;
seven officers and 500 petty officers, seamen,
firemen and marines. The keel was laid in
September, 1800, under a contract require-
ment to complete the ship by Jan. 1, 1803.
Poland’s Year of blourning.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 3.——Next year will
be kept as a year of the deepest mourning
throughout Poland in memory Of the loss of
her independence. July 17, 1802, will be the
hundredth anniversary of the splendid fight
of Kosciusko at Du-tierka, which was the
one great and noble event of a year of waver-
ing, weakness, treachery and utter submis-
sion, and the last year that held any real
hope for the Poles. The disasters of 1702
were never redressed, the wild dash of de-
Spair two years later only making the hu-
miliation and division of the nation more
rapid and COmplete. All the women of
Poland, from duchess to peasant, will wear
nothing but black all the year, and the large
firms who deal in gown and dress materials,
millinery and jewelry are ordering every—
thing black in preparation for this universal
demand.

Death in a Midnight Fire.
DETROIT, Dec. 3.—A frightful fatality oc-
curred shortly after midnight when, in the
partial burning of the two story brick store
and residence of George J. Reis, at the corner
of Orleans and Catharine streets, five persons
lost their lives. The dead include five of.
Mr. Reis’ family of seven—Mr. Reis himself,
hiswife and their sons. Eight persons oc-
cupied the apartments above the store, but
three of them, the servant girl and two
sons, Moxie and Tony, escaped.
The fire was in the front part of the store
and spread rapidly. After turning in an
alarm an officer ran to the burning build-
ing and saw the servant girl and Tony Reis
climbing out of the front Window to the
cornice. Another boy, Moxie, aged fifteen,
was on a. roof back of the building. The
latter climbed down the lightning rod and
escaped uninjured. Tony and the servant
girl jumped, but were caught safely by fire—
men. -
\Vhen a door leading to a rear stairway of
the house was broken Open the bodies of
Mr. Reis and his aged wife were found ly-
ing in a heap at the foot of the stairway.
The firemen at once made their ,way to the
upper floor and found first the body of
Charles Reis, aged twenty, stretched» 011 the
floor near a side window, and in one of the
front rooms were found the bodies of two
boys, Eddie Rois, aged eight, and Josie,
aged twelve. The bodies were taken from
the burning building and» removed to a liv—
ery stable across the way.
The dead are: George J. Reis aged fifty,
Mrs. Reis aged. forty—five, Charles Rois
aged twenty, Josie Reis, aged twelve, Eddie
Reis aged eight. '
The boys had been suffocated. There is
no clue to the origin of the fire.

There Is Not :1 Dollar in the Treasury of
the. Staten
LITTLE ROCK, Doc. 3.—Th'e treasury of
the state of Arkansas is, for the first time,
without a dollar. The announcement has
caused much alarm among citizens. The
last dollar was paid out yesterd. y afternoon
and over half of the demands made could
not be accommodated. The treasury will
remain in this condition for a month and
probably a greater length of time.
The only possible money to be Obtained at
present is the small fees received by the sec—
retary of state. The whisky license is due
on Jan. (3. This amounts to about $100,000,
and it will require several weeks before all
the money is paid into the treasury.
The cause Of the. bankruptcy is said to be
on account of the appropriations being too
heavy for the money revenues, thus causing
a deficit.
Terrible Domestic Tragedy.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.~—Samuel Collock,
fifty—one years of age, shot his wife, seriously
injuring her, and then killed himself. Phy-

If you know all about an article you can safely buy it anywhere. If you. ' ‘
are a crltlc on dlamonds, for example, you can protect yourself from misrepre
sentation by your knowledge. .
But suppose you are not. Suppose you are just an ordinary man or woman
with no pretensmns to being an expert. In such case it is only a matter of
common prudence to visit an establishment of recognized standing—one whose
name is itself a guarantee of quality.
This reasoning applies with particular force to furs. How many ladies
would claim to be judges of sealskin, for instance ? Very few. Then is 1t not of
some value to a_purchaser that she buy her furs at an establishment whose name ‘
alone is a suffiment guarantee of quality. It seems plain. EVERYTHING IN FURS.
OUR CLOAKS, trimmed with Astrakan, Sable, Mink, Persian Lamb and
Russian Martin at $15, $20, $25 and $30 cannot be matched in the state for the
