roads and bridges. location and resolutions
were appointed by the chairman, after
which an address on "PauperS and Grim

of the Illinois state board of charities. He
believed that indiscriminate charity and
outdoor relief is in large measure respon-
sible for the growth of the pauper and
criminal classes. He urged the supervisors
and overseers of the poor to cooperate
with the associated charities wherever such
an organization exists with a view to ex-

LAUNCHING OF THE KAsAGI.
Six Doves Released as the Great Jap
anese Cruiser slid Into the
Water at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 20.-The unroman-
tic aspect of Cramps shipyard was turned
to favor and to prettiness to-day when
the Japanese cruiser Kasagi was launched.
True Oriental spirit pervaded the event.
When the breathless moment came and the
huge ship began TO glide down to her first
bath. six doves futtered from a basket at
the bow and, circling about, scattered fow-
ers on the deck.
II was very pretty piece of mechanism,
and it was not at all incongruous that the
chief actor of the allegory should be
charming American girl-Miss Helen Long
daughter of the secretary of the navy.
Miss Long was merely TO have drawn the
cord which released the doves and their
the cord slipped from her hand and work,
man of the yard instantly caught 1t and
performed the office. This was observed
only by those in immediate proximity 10
the vessel. and the beauty of this unique
launch was in no way marred.
The Japanese minister. Toru Hoshi head
and besides. those attached to his
stan in Washington there were japanese
from New York and Chicago. The Amer
lean party from the capital was large and and
notable, including many state officials and
their ladies.
The Kasagi is the most important ship
ever built in the United States for foreign
country and is the first foreign warship
launched in America since the Russian
warship Zobiaoa in 1873.
The contract for the Kasagi was signed
ernment on December 81, 1896, and her
building was carefully watched by Com
mander Katsuro Martha, naval attache OF
the mikados legation at Washington.
Ever since Japan has had navy the GUS
tom of liberating doves has been in vogue
and their release here was to symboiize the
