TRANSFER STEAMER LAu NcHEo.
A Boat to Replace the Burned Mary

A Boat to Replace the Burned Mary
land in New York Harb0r.
Amid the first snow of the season, and
while the piercing atmosphere of this
morning cut into the marrow of the by
ISLANDERS, the iron side-wheel transfer
steamer Maryland was launched from the
shipyard of the Harlan and Hollings-
worth Company.
The new vessel has been built for the
N. Y, N. H. and H. R. R. Company to
replace the old boat of the same name
that was burned early in the year on the
Harlem river. Her deck house
is Of iron. and iron will be
used in every possible place in
her construction. The vessels iron
deck house, with two lows of windows,
had been put in place before launching
and lcomed high in the air as she
rested on the ways.
At H. % the vessel slid swiftly off of
the ways and entered the Christiana.
Either the weight of the iron deck house
or-unusually. successful preparations for
the launch, caused the vessel to enter
the water with surprising swiftness.
The men at the snubbing rope could do
nothing with her, and she darted across
the river and ran so hard aground on the
opposite shore that the tug Taurus could
not pull her of, and she was left until
the next high tide. The guests who
were on board were brought ashore in
small boats.
Those from New York who viewed the
launch were Charles P. Clark, president
of the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad, wife and daughter, Miss
Carita Clark; Hon. Lynde Harri-
son and wife, of New Haven,
Conn. Captain S. A. Gardner,
superintendent Of the Norwich and New
York Transportation Company Captain
j. Van Gelder, master Of lighterage, n.
N. H. and H. r. r. Co. S. w. Etter,
chief engineer Norwich and New York
Transportation Co. Charles G. West,
agent for the French Line of steamships.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison, Miss Clark and
Captain5 Gardner were on the Maryland
when she went off. Miss Clark christened
the vessel as her bow touched the water,
with a bottles4f champagne
The new vessel will be used to transfer
Boston and Washington trains from Har-
lem to Jersey City, running through
New York harbor. Her length is $50 feet /;
breadth, 66 feet; depth of hold, 13 feet, 9
inches Her paddle wheels will be driven
by two independent, horizontal, com

ders "a and "A inches in diameter and 8
feet stroke. She will have four steel
boilers and will be pushed to completion
as soon as possible.

THE JOINTS MUST GOMn

The popular and humorous expression,
The joints must CO." has again broke out
in Wichita. Everybody comedies the
point except the joint keepers and about
five-sixths of the population of Wichita
When these slight obstacles are overcome
we shall look for great results.-Kanass
City Times.
If the Times could only appreciate,
even in modified way, how such
thoughtless squibs as the above annoy
and humiliate good people it surely
would forego the insignificant pleasure
that it possibly draws from them. 1t is
unfair, extremely unfair, to say that
one-fifth of our people, exclusive of the
joint people, are demanding that the
joints must go when everybody comedies,
even the joint keepers themselves, that
the joints are not only all gone, but have
been gone all along. Massachusetts, and
New Hampshire and the effete east gen
orally may refuse to maintain the for
ward step once taken by them
in the march TO higher and better civ
ilization, and it may stand proved even
that the capital of our own beloved aud
progressive state is ''iouzy with joints, ~
yet Wichita. the typical, the representa-
tive of the all that's in the advance lead
of the van will be found worthy her
reputation.
The great trouble with this kind of
thoughtless talk upon the part of the
Times is 10 mislead the I'M
suspecting and credulous. There's our
red-headed friend, George Martin, editor
of the Gazette of Kansas City No. /.
and a deacon of the Presbyterian
church in good standing, who through
just such innocent-like squibs is
ever mislead and kept in the dark. But
now we find in his issue of yesterday an
editorial on Wichita. winding up with
the following declaration based wholly
upon a misconcepuon as shown upon
its face. Addressing himself to the editor
of the EAGLE on the subject of political
revolution in Kansas, he says:
You will have 10 come to it. One of
the greatest bores il the world is a belly

AMERICAN LANGUAGES.

Major j. w. Powell, director of the
geological survey. says that there are
seventy-three stock languages in the
United States, each of which has one or
more dialects.
The chronological bureau is under the
direction of Major Powell, and he there
fore has the means at hand to form an
opinion on this subject. which is one of
the most interesting presented for the
study and investigation of American stu
dents. Although interesting, American
philology is not wholly a satisfactory
study, for a reason akin to that which
makes engineering work in shifting
sands Disappointing.
The aboriginal languages af this coun-
try are, like all spoken languages. sub
ject to change. But unlike languages
which possess a more or less ancient lit
erature, they possess few permanent
monuments of their growth and devel-
opment. One cannot tell how nearly
the Sioux of today is like the Sioux of a
hundred years ago, and much less the
language of the Sioux of the seventeenth
century.
PhiIologists have made sufficient pro-
gress in the study of the languages of
the American Indians TO divide them
with some degree of accuracy into fam
lilies. But they have not been able to
draw any very satisfactory conclusions
as to the origin of these various tongues.
Prof. Whitney, of Yale college, does not
think much in this direction is to be
hoped for. The material with which one
has to work is too unstable 10 admit of
the erection OF a firmly built theory. 1t
is probable that the world will never dis
cover through the study of American
philology much about the origin either
of the languages or of the aboriginal
races of this country.
This is disappointing. But it would be
as useless TO mourn over it as il would
be to mourn because the waves of this
year have effaced the footprints of the
men who wandered along the beach a
year ago. 1t would be a satisfaction to
know whence the American aborigines
came or through what forms of evolu-
ton they reached their present condi-
ton. We probably can never solve this
problem, but there is comfort in believ-
ing that the secret of human origin and
destiny Is not solved in its solution.

she does not mind being called a news

Miss Mary A. Brigham, who has just
been chosen president of Mt. Holyoke
seminary and college. is said to be an
ideal woman for the position.
Mrs. Francis Hodgson Burnett is to

THE GRAND OLD MAN.

Mr.. John J. Mcbride, of Buffalo. n.
Y, short time since wrote a letter to
Mr.. Gladstone, enclosing list of sigma
lures to the memorial expressing sympa-
thy for home rule in Ireland, among
which were the names of President Har-
rison, Secretary Blaine, Speaker Car
Isle, Vice President Morton and a large
majority of both houses of congress.
Mr. Gladstones reply is eminently char
acteristic of the man. His high tribute
to Washington, the closing paragraph of
the letter, will be of special interest to
our readers.
Finally, rejoice to be put in posses
sion of such declaration at a moment
when your great country is about to
celebrate, on the Both, inst, the centen-
NAL anniversary of the Inauguration of
George Washington, the first president
of the American commonwealth. l have
been requested from Chicago and else
where to intimate an assurance of my
participation in your national joy. 1t is
a real and grateful participation. For
the statesmen of the American revolu
ton have taken their plance once for all
among the greatest political instructors
of the world. George Washington was
their acknowledged and illustrious head,
and to them l have long felt that
owed no trivial part of my own public
education. Long, without limit of
length, may that union flourish under
the blessing and favor of God, with the
foundation OF which their names are in
separately associated.
have the honor to remain, my dear
sir, your most obedient and faithful
w, E. GLADSTONE.
