ton in 1872. Though William Cramp
died in 1879, the great establishment
that fronts the Delaware river, in the
Kensington district and from which
so many of Uncle Sans new war
ships, and later the twin American
liners, ST. Louis and st. Paul, besides
hundreds of other commercial craft,
have been turned out, still bears his
name, and to-day the William

pute among modern vessel contruc-
tors as was the founder of the enter
prise in his generation. From these
yards have slipped into the water
some of the most notable warships
thslt are now fighting Spain, including
the cruisers Baltimore, New York,
Columbia, Minneapolis, Philadelphia
and Newark, and the monster battle
ships Massachusetts and Iowa.
The present head of the firm is
Charles H. Cramp, son of William,
who is adding steadily to the reputa-
ton and to the honor of the Amerl-
can shipbuilding industry In 1879
80 four war ships were rebuilt for
Russia in such satisfactory manner
that Mr.. Cramp received the decora-
ton known as the Civic Order Of st.
Ann, rarely bestowed honor.
1t was at Cramps that the first
steam tug and the first triple expan-
sion engine ever constructed in
America were built. The Cramps are
not new at the building of warships.
+, During the civil war they turned out
number of fighting boats, and since
then have built big ships for other
navies. The only warship now n
course of construction at the Cramps
for the United States is the first
class battleship Alabama, which is
now receiving the finishing touches.

WHAT THE BRIDEGROOM PAYS.

There seems to be a great deal OF
uncertainty existing as to the pecun1-
airy part which bridegroom takes in
his own wedding. At a recent very
swell affair the two young people
about to be united in the holy bonds
of wedlock sat down deliberately
and totaled up the entire expenses of
the wedding they amounted to a
very large sum, to be sure and then
divided them evenly between the two
men-the father and the groom. In
point of fact, and as a matter of good
taste the groom should pay only for
the carriage which takes the bridal
couple from the church and to the
station, with all the fees incidental to
a church wedding and the gifts of
flowers and jewelry to the ushers and
bridesmaids. This ought to be his
sole money outlay, besides his present
to the bride herself His expenses
come afterward.
