ANOTHER NEW WARSHIP.
The BattIeship Massachusetts Success
fully Launched at Philadelphia.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 10.-The
big battleship Massachusetts, was sue
cessfully launched from the ship yard
of the Cramps this morning in the
presence of Secretary of the Navy
Herbert, Attorney General Olney
(the latter representing the State of
Massachusetts,, a number of distin-
guished naval and army officers and
a multitude of $4,000. Miss Leila
Herbert, daughter of the head of the
Naval Department, christened the
vessel with the customary and pref
tilv decorated bottle of champagne.
The Massachusetts,, the second of
the three coast line battleships to be
launched, is built of steel. The hull
is protected by belts of heavy armor
II feet wide, feet of which is above
water. This protection runs along
both sides of the vessel for a distance
of AS feet amidships, at the extrem-
tiles of which the armour turns to-
wards the center line at an angle Of
As degrees for a longitudinal distance
of q feet, affording total broadside
protection of 1876 feet and passing
around and supporting the armor of
the 3 inch gun turrets. On top of
this side armor is placed steel deck
p inches thick, under which are the
magazines and machinery. Above
this belt of side armor and extend
ing from reboubt to redoubt the sides
are 5 inches thick, with a backing of
10 feet of coal.
There is powerful ram below.
The armored coming tower is of 10
inch plates. The military mast has
two tops for rapid fire machine guns,
the ammunition for which IS sent to
them inside the mast. Many water
tight compartments aid the defensive
strength of the vessel. Admirable
as is the protective strength of the
Massachusetts, even more striking, if
possible, is her aggressive power.

Capt. d. AZ. Sanders, Business Ham,
ogor Peoples Party Paper:
DEAR SIR-THE PEoPLE's PARTY
PAPER should have a circulation of
at least $4,000 in Georgia. Knowing
that you cannot afford to keep trav-
cling solicitors in the field to canvass
from house to house, I have conclud-
ed to attend each of Mr.. Watson's
appointments this summer, where [
can meet the people en- masse, for
the purpose of receiving new sub
scribers to our paper and renewals Of
old subscribers.
Silver dollars will be received at
full face value from Clevelandites as
we'll as common people.
Q. Y. MCGREGoR.
We heartily appreciate Major
McGregor's deep interest in The
PEoPLE's PARTY PAPER and hope
the contagion will spread until a
thousand earnest Georgians shall
realize that the PEoPLE's PARTY
PAPER is their battling for
their rights and interests, and will
emulate the zeal and enthusiasm of
friend MoGregor in extending its or
culation until it is found in the home
of every man who honestly wins his
bread by the sweat of his face.

The proposed trans Siberian rail
way, which will be the longest in the
world, is fully described in the En-
gjneeri,ag lHaga@ine, by Frederic Ho
bart, who has used freely materials
furnished by the Russian engineers
employed on the work.
AS to the commercial Importance
of the Siberian railway, he writes,
there may be different opinions. The
steppes of Western Siberia are sus-
ceptible of settlement and cultivation,
and may add a considerable area to
the wheat fields which compete with
those of America. The river valleys
of the Amour region are also capable
OF cultivation, and may in time sup
port a large population, while the
Oussoprl country is known to be rich
IN coal and iron. The long stretch
of over 1900 miles from Tomsk to
the headwaters of Amour, however,
can never have much local traffic.
The climate and soil alike forbid set
Element, and a small business in cattle
and horses from the nOmad herds,
and in lumber from the fore is of the
Irish and the western trans Baikal,
with the supply of the mining region
on tie slope Of the Jablonnovoi, will
be the most that can be expected.
Through commercial traffic to the
Pacific cannot be large, though the
Chinese trade will be an item of con-
siderable Importance on the western
half of the line, and is a traffic capa-
bic of development with the facilities
which could be furnished by the pro-
posed railroad. With all allowance
for growth, however, 1t is safe to say
that, If the road is regarded simply
as an investment for capital, its com
mercial prospects would not warrant
IT'S construction for many years to
come.
The main purpose of the line is not
commercial, however, but military
and political. The trans Caspian rail.
way has consolidated and made per-
manent the Russian power in Central
Asia, and It's extension to Khokand
and Tashkend, now we'll under way,
will make an excellent supply line for
an army invading China from the
west. The Siberian line on the other
side will be a base line for operations
from the north and east, and the an
cient empire will be placed at a seri-
Gus disadvantage. The shreWdest Of
the Chinese statesmen are aware Of
this, and their efforts to strengthen
their frontier are in contrast to the
supineness Of the English who seem
now, as usual, to rely altogether on
their naval force to check the designs
of their greatest rival in the East.
1t Is undoubtedly a perception of
these possibilities which has made
the project a favorable one in the i'm
perial circle, and brought about the
conditions necessary to secure It's
early execution. The official order
calls for the completion of the entire
road in 1904, and while it seems
hardly possible that the work can be
completed in ten years with the
means at hand, there is little doubt
that the opening decade of the TWEEN
tieth century will see the completion
o. the first transatlantic railroad.

NEWS MOTIFS.

The German elections, so far as
results are known, indicate a victory
for the people as against the absurd
young autocrat who is trying to play
Louis XIV here in the nineteenth
century.
A great drouth prevails in Eng
land, France and some other portions
of the continent. In France, cattle
are dying for want of forage, grape
vines are destroyed and the hope Of
an adequate food crop is well nigh
gone. Farmers are selling off their
cattle for any price they can get, be-
cause Of the want of feed.
At the same time, cholera is
raging in Southern France, carrying
off HUNDREDS of people.
The Irish Home Rule Bill makes
little progress in the British Parlia-
ment.
Gladstone is accepting too many
amendments to suit the Irish leaders.
The Irish leaders themselves are
divided into factional bands, and the
English aristocrats are resorting to
the same dilatory tactics to defeat
the measure, which they used to
denounce so severely when exercised
by the Irish.
We believe the Bill will fail, and
that Gladstone's Cabinet will soon
collapse.
The Irish in America have been
made to believe that our politicians
favored Home Rule.
This is untrue. The Irish voter
will learn, some of these days, that
the friendship of the average poll
tician for Ireland Is just about as
sincere as the attachment of the
average city boss for the "farmer,"
or the love of the average protec-
ZIONIST for the 'laborer."
Our ruling classes sympathise
with English methods, English pur-
poses and English caste.
They constantly tfy to ape Eng
land in social, military, naval and
Legislative systems.

A Mean Lot of Bridegrooms.

One Of our city clergymen tells this;
II have had some funny experiences with
grooms who have failed to pay me any
thing. One man came to me one day
and asked me how much I charged. l
told him that we charged nothing, but
he could give me what he liked. 1 mar
ried him, and he promised to pay me.
but never did. Not long after another
couple, who had been sent by the others,
came in, and married them, the groom
promising to give me fee, but nothing
came of it. Some time after there came
still another couple who had been sent
by the previous one. The groom declared
he was dead broke. l told him how the
others had treated me, but he promised
faithfully to pay me in the future, and
tied the knot. That has been some time
ago, and he has not yet fulfilled his
promise. have had good many such
cases."
Another minister in this city says:
"The only fee that I remember not to
have received was after l had married q
man who was we'll able to have given me
q good one. I do not think he was to
blame, however, for have always sus-
pected the best man as having appropri-
ated it for his own services in the affair. "

Growers.
RIVERSIDE, July 13.-The orange
growers held an important meeting yes.
terday in the Y. M. @. A. hall, which

The cerem onial Use of Tobacco.

Since the worldwide diffusion of the
tobacco habit its earliest and perhaps
original use has been in a great meas
ure overlooked. With the aborigines of
America smoking and its kindred prac-
tices were not mere sensual gratifca-
tions, but tobacco was regarded as an
herb Of peculiar and mysterious sancti-
ty, and its use was deeply and intimately
interviewer with native rights and cere-
monies.
With reasonable certainty the pipe
may be considered as an implement the
use of which was originally confined to
the priest, medicine man, or sorcerer, in
whose hands it was a means of commu-
nication between savage man and the
unseen spirits with which his universal
doctrine of animism invested every OBJ
ject that came under his observation.
Similar to this use of the pipe was its
employment in the treatment of disease,
which in savage philosophy is thought
to be the work of evil spirits. John
Hawkins in Popular Science Monthly.

SAN BERNARDINo, July 13.-Coroner
Thompson returned yesterday afternoon
from Holcomb valley, where he had
been to hold an inquest on the body OF
Pat O'Mera. who was killed on Mon
day morning by W. B. McSweeney. The
coroner clearly investigated the sad
affair and learned that it was cleal
case of murder. No weapons of any
kind were found upon O'Mera, and in
stead of attempting to draw revolver,
he did not reiinquish his hold upon the
water pals which he held in either
hand. He was never known to carry @
weapon this fact, too, it appears was
well known to McSweeney. No words
had passed between the two men on the
morning of the tragedy, 30 not
even an excuse of provocation
was offered for the shooting. The cor
oner's jury brought in verdict of mur.
der in the first degree. O'Mera was
we'll known in this section of the state,
and was man of singularly patient
temper. The preliminary examination
OF McSweeney will be held tomorrow
morning before Judge Knox.

TO AMATEUR MUSICIANS.
Some Hints Which, If Followed, VIII Re
Found Quite Advantageous.

Found Quite Advantageous.
The following is q series of hints to
young singers and would be singers
which have been received from one of
Boston's well known musicians:
Start under the right instruction. It is
far better to begin right in middle life
than wrong in youth.
Study everything carefully, for ''what's
worth doing at all is worth doing we'll"
Cultivate refinement in all things. The
tastes, inclinations and tendencies of the
singer. whether refined or coarse, are un-
avoidaDly made manifest in the inter-
probation of the music she sings.
Keep up with the events Of the world
in a general way. but while studying
music live III an atmosphere of music.
Concentration is the secret of many a
singers success.
Sing everything as the author wrote
it, for one should be as truthful in music
as in history.
Plan your mode Of living and hours
for eating, sleeping and exercising accord
ing to the manner in which they affect
your singing
thlOW yOnl WlOlC COoA llUO yum blllS5
ing. Live in the song while you sing it.
The sympathy and interest of an audi
ence are most frequently gained by the
sincere, soulful and truthful rendering
of selection.
Cultivate animation, warmth of spirit
and coloring in rendering your songs.
Train yourself to be cool headed and
collected when singing.
Sing without notes when possible. You
can produce better dramatic effects and
hold your audience better by SO doing.
Don't try to study music, art and sci
ence all at the same time. Select one
and do that well.
Don't think Of making music your pro-
fession unless you have more than or
binary talent for it. The musical pro-
fession is always crowded with perform
ers, except at the very top, where there
is always plenty of room.
Don't think of making music your pro-
fession unless you have plenty of money
to give yourself the best possible musical
education.
Don't think that training in execution
and technique of the voice only is suf-
ficient. The professional singer should
be perfect reader and well schooled in
counterpoint and harmony.
Don't think the life of a successful
singer is easy. The more successful the
singer the more she becomes slave to
her profession.
Don't make practice of humming. 1t
tires the voice.
Don't practice long at time, especial
ly if you are just beginning. It is much
better to practice little and often.
Don't eat just before singing. A hearty
meal several hours before and light
stimulating refreshment just before you
sing are much better.
Don't drink wine for a stimulant. It
is not only drying to the throat, but is
too strong stimulant. A person needs
to be especially self composed when sing
ing.
Don't indulge in mannerisms and
catchy originalities in rendering your Sc
lections. A natural manner and sincere
singing are much more pleasing and de-
sirable.-Boston journal.
