seen BY Mr.. Cakes. They went beyond
the bridge until they passed the overhead
county bridge, when according to infor-
nation in possession of Sheriff Plummer
they concluded to go to Portland and get
some more liquor. They remained here
until evening, then they started again for
the house Of Mr.. Stone at Falmouth, and
were the three men who were heard by Mr..
Cakes when they passed the bridge. Just
beyond the bridge they left the track for
a few minutes. They calculated to reach
the house of Mr.. Stone at about eleven
O'Clock. They left the track for a few
moments and went close to where the
body was found. Kennedy had revolver
but 1t was unloaded. Saturday night
they obtained few cartridges. Kennedy
didn't know how to load the weapon and
passed it to one of his comrades who took
IL and loaded it when by, so1pe mistake it
was discharged. The natureCof the wound

THE ALABAMA LAUNCH Ed.
Another Big Battleship Given to the
Waves.

Philadelphia, May 16.-The battleship
Alabama was launched at Cramps ship
yard shortly before O'Clock this after
noon.
Miss Mary E. Morgan, daughter OF Sem
ator Morgan of Alabama, had the honor
OF breaking the traditional bottle of wine
on the PROV of the big fighter as it slid
from the ways. The launching of the
ship was one of the most successful ever
witnessed at Cramps. Before the saving
of the "shoe' which held the cradle in
place had been completed, the monstrous
hull, Juggling with weight of thousands
Of tons on the strips of oak, tore them
apart and the big mass of steel glided
gracefully into the water few seconds
ahead of schedule time.
Miss Morgan stood on dais built on
the launching platform, directly under
the bow of the Alabama. She was at
tended by her father, Senator Morgan,
and her sister, Miss Cornelia l. Morgan.
As the ship began to tremble preparatory
to sliding off the we'll creased ways, she
took hrmer grasp on the gaily be-
deoked bottle of Alabama native wine,
which she held in her right hand, and
swinging her head. smashed it against
the nose Of the ship saying as the did
so: Il crown thee with magnolias, brave
saip, and christen thee with proud
name-Alabama'
The bow of the boat was hung with
great festoons of magnolias, gray moss
and roses, gathered by ladies of the state
OF Alabama, and brought here for the &C.
clsion. Only few hundred people wit
egsed the launching as against the tens
o. thousands that usually gathered in
loe yard on such occasions. For some time
pass the yard has been closed to all visit
ors and the rule was not relaxed to any
ezFeI friday. Fear Of Spanish treaohery
has made the government and the
Camps extremely cautious, as a single
b,mb. exploded by hostile visitor, would
d. 9 m ost incalculable damage.
The war time launching" was for
this reason almost private affair.
Alter the Alabama had come to a stand
still in the Delaware, tugs towed her
bnck to her dock and workmen swarmed
over les, beginning at once the work of
preparing her for service. II the arlnor
is contracted for now and delivered
promptly, she will be ready for commits

is the Same as the yard number of the old

time, too, when it's ''policy remains yet
in the mystery of allegiance"
Mr.. Turpie turned his remarks upon
the subject of the Independence of the
Cubans. The recognition of this indie
pendence of the Cubans, he said, had been
promised but where, he said, was that
recognition?
MIR. Hale had risen and Mr.. Turpie de-
clined to yield, but at this juncture he
interjected the question, land where is
the Cuban government
Mr.. Turpfe paid no attention to this re-
mark.
Discussin the Monroe doctrine, Mr..
Turpie declared he would as lief recede to
Great Britain, Staten Island, as he would
accede to Spain any portion of Cuba. He
predicted undispu'ed triumph and said it
would be more than national victory;
1t would be victory Of even-h anded
| justice.
Mr.. Turpie had the closest attention of
the entire Senate. When he o. osed the
reading of the bill was continued.
Mr.. German suggested that the penalty
for failure to aftix stamp to any drug or
medicine or perfumery, etc.. was TOO
severe.
The provision was amended by striking
out the minimum fine, leaving it to the
discretion of the courts to make it less
than 300. The provision was also changed
I so as to provide that the offense should be
made to appear to have been Intentional
Mr.. German then moved to strike out
the clause providing imprisonment.
| Messrs. Gary Mills and Culiom also
supported the motion and Messrs AL
| drich, Jones of Arkansas, Chiffon, White
and Cookrell, opposed it. The amend
ment was rejscted-26 to 81.
Mr.. German asked the Senate to return
to section five of the bill, providing that
any person willfully evading the law to
place revenue stamps on any legal docu-
ment or taxed paper OF any kind, should
lbs fined not more than $500 or imprison-
ment not more than six months or both.
He moved that the fine be fixed at 500 in
stead of $500. The motion was agreed to
80 to 16.
Mr.. German then moved to strike out
the imprisonment clause. This was
agreed to without division. On MIR.
Germans motion the imprisonment
clauses wera stricken out of sections eight
and nine providing for the use of revenue
stamps. The Senate refused to strike out
the imprisonment feature of section
eleven. which provided for the affixing of
stamps to stock transferred.
In section 10 of the bill, the stamp taxes
provided for were made effective on the
first day Of june
This was amended so as to read the
Fifteenth day of June"
The bill was then laid aside for the day

AMERICAN SAYINGS.

Don't swear: fight" The phrase has
the ring of sound metal.
The American army of invasion adj
vancing upon Santiago de Cuba was pre-
coded by Il body of Rough Riders. Sud
denly the Spaniards. who were lying
in ambush. fired deadly volley, and the
startled Rough Riders replied with an
outburst of curses. Don't swear,
fight" called Col. Wood. The phrase
will live.
America is a big country; it is des-
tined to become a greater country, for
there is manliness and vigOr in the mem
orable phrases coined by celebrated
Americans. 1t was Stephen Decatur
who originated the toast, "Our country,
right or wrong" Henry Clay said "Sir,
| would prefer to be right than to be
President" The last words of Nathan
Hale were: 81 only regret that / have
but one life to lose for my country
William Penn coined the phrase: 81
prefer the honestly simple to the in
geniously wicked" And it was Henry
Ward Beecher who uttered the words.
"The mothers heart is the child's school
room"
When nations become artificiallv re-
fined the phrases which their great mon
coin are generally either cynical or flip
pant. Thus. TO Talleyrand is attributed
the phrase: "Mistrust first impressions:
they are always good" Voltare declar.
ed that Ideas are like boards: children
and women never have them" To which
might be added, except when they are
nlonstrosities.' Antoine Rivarole said:
1T is. an immense advantage to have
done nothing, but one should not abuse
it." Samuel Rogers said: "When / was
young | said good natured things ana
nobody listened to me: now that I am
old | say ill-natured things and every
Lody listens to me-" TO Sydney Smith
we are indebted for the following ungrn-
cious description of fashionable wo-
man: do not mind the caprices of II
fashionable women. They are as gross
as poodles fed on milk and mullins"
