CALLING A HALT. It’s high t.me to call attention to printers’ ink announcements that everything on earth is cheaper than ever before. Good Clothing is not cheap 3r than ever, there is no bottom now and never was any real value to a lot of old style, out of date garments, but every sensible man knows that wool has advanced and' so has labor in the past six months, and real good clothing is in demand and not being slaughtered in price as some advertisers contend. . We are in direct touch with the manufacturers of woolens and clothing and the touch must prevail. per cent. and we are pleased to acknowledge wages are higher. then, can clothing be cheaper than ever?

The Armored Cruiser Brooklyn In . Her Natural Element. A MAGNIFICENT WARSHIP. The Naming Was Done by the Daughter of Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn—Di- mensions of the Latest Addition to the American Navy. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.—The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn was launched into the waters of the Delaware at Cramps’ shipyard today at 1:08. Miss Ida May Schieren, daughter of the mayor of the city from which the mammoth ves- sel takes its name, broke the traditional bottle of American champagne on the cruiser’s bow and murmured, “I christer. thee Brooklyn.” Although some disappointment was felt at the absence of Secretary of the Navy Herbert, who was unable to attend, the event was crowned with success. It was a fete day in Kensington, as it invariably is on such occasions, and when the gates oi the big yard were thrown open to the pub lic shortly before noon, an immense crowd surged in to witness the baptism of the latest addition to the fleet of Old Glory’s defenders. On the christening stand was a distin guishcd party, the conspicuous figures 0‘ which were Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo and Mayor Schieren oi Brooklyn. The others in the group were Postmaster General Wilson and Miss Wil son, Attorney General Harmon, with Mrs and Miss Harmon, Rear Admiral Ram rm; CRUISER BROOKLYN. [As she will appear under steam.] any, Mrs. and Miss Ramsay, Captain and Mrs. Sampson, Paymaster General Stew- art and Mrs. Stewart, Commodore Mel- ville, Chicf Naval Constructor Hichborn with Mrs. and Miss-Hichborn, Captain R. D. Evans, Commodore and Mrs. McNair, Commodore and Mrs Howell, Chief Clerk Micou and Mrs. Micou. This party left Washington at 7:50 o‘clock this morning in a special train of the Pennsylvania railroad. There was also a delegation of Brook- lynites in recognition of the honor accord- ed their city. The ship building company and the municipal government were represented by prominent parties. The bracing October weather was per- fect, and with the animation on the stand and the vast crowds in the yard below, gave brilliancy to the scene. Grouped about the wharves and dotting the river for miles around were craft of every description, from local excursion boats to foreign steamers. In the \Vater. It was a little after 1 when the last shores were knocked from the ways and the colossal vessel began her brief jour- ney. Swinging aloft the wine bottle, which was clothed with the stars and stripes, Miss Schieren crashed it against the steel bow and uttered the christening words. Then, as the marine monster glided gracefully down the greased cradle, the enthusiasm found vent. The crowds in the yard roared and screamed. the party on the christening stand waved hats and cheered, and the boats on the river let loose their car splitting whistles. Mean- while the Brooklyn had taken her maiden dip in the middle of the stream, where her anchors were dropped and she came Another of the monster flag defenders had been successfully launched. After these impressive ceremonies luncheon was served in'tho mold loft and a. number of felicitous speeches made, among the speakers being Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn, Assistant Secretary McAdoo, Mayor Warwick and the Messrs. Cramp. The Brooklyn is regarded by naval ex- perts asa marvel in the art of marine architecture. She is classed as a steial armored cruiser, haunt four 8 inch bar- bettc turrc :9. Her ecu-u, exclusive of arma‘ ment, is $2,986,000. The principal dimensions of the Brook- lyn are: Length on the load water line, 400.50 feet: beam, extreme, 64.68 feet; draft, mean normal, 24 feet; displace- ment, normal, 9,271 tons; indicated horse- power, 16,000; speed in knots per hour, 24; total coal capacity, 1,753 tons; coal carried, normal displacement, 900 tons.

ONE MAN PROBABLY KILLED Several Persons Nearly Asphyxiated—Oth- bra Injured by the Shock—An oin- ciai Jackanapes IVith a Match. Curious Features. NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—Somebody did cheaply a bad job on some sewer pipe con- nections in West Thirty-ninth street re~ ccntly, and the results will long be re- membered by the people of the neighbor- hood between Eighth and Ninth avenues. Five of them almost lost their lives from asphyxiation. They were found uncon- scious today. Then, while the search was still under way, a double explosion oc- curred, Which injured two more persons, damaged the street pavement and' the four houses, 310-316, to the extent of $4,- 000 "or $5,000, and, besides frightening everybody else, practically evicted 25 fam- ilies from their homes. A plumber was engaged by a Mrs. Ascher, who lives somewhere in East Eighty-fifth street, to repair the sewer pipes to her tenement houses. She was ordered by the board of health to put the pipes in sanitary condition. He undertook to do the work at a very low rate. After the job was done the odor of gas arose and filled the houses near the place where the hole had been, in'front of 312. Windows were left open, and the situation was accepted till about 2 o’clock, when Amelia, the wife of Frederick Belmont of 310 heard one of her children sob in a pc- culiar way. Going to the child, she was shocked to find it unconscious and, worse still, black in the face. She called her husband, and together they found all four children—Margaret, 14 years old; Martha, 10; Freda, 6, and Rose, 2—in this alarm. inc; state. The Neighborhood Aroused. The mother uttered a. shriek which aroused the neighbors and attracted the attention of Patrolman .Tohn Atherton. An ambulance was sent for. but mean- while the children were carricd across the street to the saloon of William F. Meyers. Everybody who was not affected by the es- caping gas was out of the 10 or 12 houses. They began a search of their respective flats. Patrolman Atherton, who had sent a notification of the accident to his station house, directed the search with the aid of several other policemen dispatched to the scene. They brought out Lelie and Lot- tie Cottin, two colored women, from 314, about 3 o’clock. Things began to quiet down then, and some unknown man, who was assumed to be a public official, began investigation. He lighted matches and moved about with them over the ground. Henry Vogt, a saloon keeper, said he remonstratcd with the man, warning him that an or:— plosion might result from his method of search. The man replied that he knew What he was about, but agreed with Vogt that the meters should be shut off. Vogt went to do this. While he was gone the inspector found leaks in the street. A tiny flame caught from his match. This flame started another and another caught from that. So it went fill the blue flames became numerous and were running about in an alarming way. Suddenly they all spread off down the street toward Ninth avenue. It was a beautiful sight. Two Sharp Explosions. Two sharp explosions occurred. The street pavement was lifted in several places, the sidewalk in front of 210-216 flew up at intervals, windows smashed, and the crowd, which had been standing to watch the inspection, were scattered right and left. Vogt emerged from the cellar in time to be thrown out into the street with a cut head by the second blast. Policeman Atherton had just reached the sidewalk with Mrs. Hendricks of 214 in an unconscious stage, a victim of the asphyxiation, when he was struck by the falling glass. He was knocked uncon~ scious and was injured so badly that he had to be taken to'tho Roosevelt hospital. He may be fatally injured. She, strange to say, was knocked conscious by the ex- plosion and walked off all right. This completed the demoralization and extended the circle of alarm. Hundreds of people rushed to the scene, only to run away again when they saw the flames in the street and heard the sharp little ex- plosions which occurred in a menacing way for an hour or more. After everything was quiet the following material damage was noted: No. 310, Albert Haase, grocer, front windows smashed and his stock badly mixed; in the flats above dishes broken and furniture upturned, the walls cracked and other damages; 312, Herr Vogt, saloon, windows, mirrors and glass- es broken; up stairs the condition was like that of 310; 3314, Theodore Marken, watch- maker, and Henry F. Mayer, plumber, are the principal losers: 316, J. Fechter, shoemaker, and Henry Kahse, candles and toys, are the heaviest losers. Cannibalism In China. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-—Two largo villages, Lien Cheng and Lang Cheng were recently the scenes of shocking deeds in cannibalism.
