Arson Wants kilograms.

The citizens of the little town of An
son, Summer county, once in a while
want to hold Geographic communication
with the rest of the world, and they
were consequently much angered a few
days ago by the Missouri Pacific man
agement removing the telegraph instru-
ments from it's station at Arson. They
are still angry and have appealed to the
board of railroad commissioners, asking
that the road be compelled to replace
the means of holding such communica-
ton. The hearing has not yet been set.

THE ALABAMA LAUNCHED.
Another Formidable Fighting Ma
chine For Uncle SANS Navy.

Another Formidable Fighting Ma
chine For Uncle SANS Navy.
Philadelphia, May 19.-The battleship
Alabama was launched at Cramps
shipyard yesterday afternoon. 1t was
one of the most successful launches that
has ever been witnessed at Cramps.
The invited guests numbered hardly
100 persons. They were particularly
demonstrative, and they warmly con-
graduated Miss Mary Huntingdon
Morgan, daughter of the senator from
Alabama, the ships sponsor.
None but the invited guests, the
workmen necessary to complete the
launch and the newspaper representa-
tIves were admitted to the yards. There
had been an unusual rush of applica-
tions for tickets of admission to see
the launch, but absolutely none was
granted.
Every available space along the river
outside of the yards of the Cramps had
been preempted early in the day by
people anxious to get as near the scene
as possible, and the river was filled
with the big boats Of sightseers, who
made a noisy demonstration as the ves-
sci slid into the Delaware.
The Alabama's completion depends
on her armor plate, and should she be
needed for immediate service this will
be a matter of delay on account of the
recent controversy in congress over the
price of armOr plate. She will cost
$2650,000 exclusive of her armament.
She is 3GS feet long on load water line,
of 11,525 tons displacement, and her
guaranteed speed is to be 16 knots
The contract calls for the delivery OF
the Alabama to the government on oct
2, 1899.

Our Own State sIighted.

OF all the larger states Pennsyl-
vania's quota Of volunteers has been
the first mustered into the service of
the United States, and more of her
troops are now at the places of
mobilization than any other states.
This speaks volumes for the capa-
biliry of the commanders of the
Guard, yet no man above the rank Of
Colonel has yet been selected from
the state for command in the ser
vice, although the four Generals
whose ability has placed this tine
body of troops at the Presidents ser
vice are all ready to accept service
with them; one OF them, Genl. Schall,
of the First brigade, despairing OF
being appointed, accepted the
colonelcy of regiment rather than
be left behind.
Why Pennsylvania, with her mag
nidceut division of greater numbers
than the divisions arranged for by
the War department, should be thus
sighted, while New Jersey, with one
