FOUR CONTRACTS AWARDED


For the Construction of New Vessels for
the United states Navy.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-The award Of
contracts for the construction of three
new battle ships and a cruiser last week
gives evidence of Secretary Tracy's
promptness, and indicates the energy of
the administration in carrying out the
laws for increasing the effectiveness of
the navy Two of the battle ships and
the cruiser are to be constructed by the
Cramps, of Philadelphia lowest
bidders-and the third battle ship is to
DC built on the Pacific coast. The big
vessels are to cost little over $3, ,0n0,-
900 each, and the cruiser about S., 750-
900
With these four new ships the United
States will lave five battle ships and
ten cruisers well armored, together
with thirty-one unarmored vessels.
Our Inferior Position.
The inferior position of the United
States Us a naval power will still be very
marked, Notwithstanding the liberality
of congress. Even China is ahead Of
us III this respect, and such countries as
Austria, Norway, Sweden, Turkey, Hol-
land, Spain and Italy. have much larger
navies than the United States.
England has seventy-six armored and
201 unarmored ships. France tifty-seven
armored and 203 unarmored, Russia
forty-nine almorel and 1l9 unarmored,
and Germany forty armored and 1l0
unarmored,
When the new American ships are
built there will be Il demand for more
sailors to man them. 1t is estimated
that 1000 additional seamen will be re-
quired befo C half the number of YES
sells under way are constructed, The
present strength Of the naval establish
nent is about 10000 men, which at
present gives only about three-quar-
ter crew for tho ships in commission,
and the secretary OF the navy will be
obliged during the next Sc sion to ask
for relief. There is no doubt
that an act will be passed to increase
the number of enlisted men for the new

A couple in Louisville who had
been married for 25 years were re-
married the other day, because it was
found that no return of their marriage
had ever been made to the clerk. In
order to legalize their original mar
riage second ceremony was necessary.
A year or two ago the KENTUcKIAN
called attention to the fact that there
were more than a hundred such cases
shown by the clerks books in this
county. Most if not all of these
couples were married, many of them
years ago, but no return was ever
made by minister or magistrate and
unless there are living witnesses they
could not to-day prove that they were
ever married according to law. A
glance over this list reveals the names
Of some prominent people who have
grown children and some of them are
grandparents. 1t would be well for
the heads of these families to drop
into the clerks office and legalize
matters by taking out second Ii
cense, as the Louisville couple con-
cluded to do.

IN MEMORiAM.

BLESSED ara tho undeiiled in the
way, who walk in the law of the Lord
The Lord is my Strength and Song,
and is become my salvation"
Departed this life, April 10Th 1890,
Bernice, youngest daughter Of Mrs.
Emeline +. Hale, aged nearly seven
teen years, deprived of father when
only six years old she was left to the
care of a kind and loving mother.
Being of delicate health nearly all
her life, she naturally became the
idol and pet of the family.
For seven long weeks she was con-
fined TO her bed with disease that
bailled the skill of the best physi.
cians; during all that time she was
never heard TO murmur or complain,
although her suirerings were terrible
TO the last moment. Before being
confined TO the bed with her last i'll
ness, she tainted, while sitting near
the fire, fell with her face in a bed OF
Goals and was seriously burned, leav-
ing scars that she carried to the grave.
Never was there a more beautiful and
obedient child than Bernice; others
might be neglectful of their duty but
she never was of hers.
She was good and kind to all, from
the least thing to the greatest. No
little child ever shed a tear over a
spoiled toy, or bruised limb, when
she was present, without having its
tears dried and its troubles relieved
by her loving hands. The poor little
orphans and forsaken ones at school
were chosen for her companions
When asked by her playmates why
she did 80, she replied that she could
enjoy herself with them and make
them happier too.
But her goodness was reflected in
the patient watching and nurs
ing CT the scores, both old and young
who came TO wait upon her in her last
illness. Little children who were toe

She was speechless for sixteer
hours but seemed to realize that deatl
was near. A few hours before hel
death she looked up at her weeping
sisters and brothers and smiled, ther
turned her dying eyes upon her al
most heart-broken mother, who wa
kneeling by the side of her dying
couch, and laughed. Death came a
one o'clock n. m. and her spirit wa
