Taking the golden day
< To lands Of tho waiting West;
After tho darkness falls
d Swift on tho parting hour
After tho night enthralls
Vino.laood lane and tower;
Like flushes of carly dawn
With rose tints permeato,
Up from tho glory gone,
' Springs glory ro.oreate,
Over tho realms Of cloud,
Over the earth below,
And night holds back her shroud,
In tho splondor Of afterglow.
After tho light of love
Fades in hopeless night,
A glery from above
Fills the heart with after light
And when q lifo's bright roy
Leavoth it's loved in woe,

THE MAINE AFLOAT.
New Battleship Christened Amid Much
Enthusiasm,
THE PRESIDENT WAS NOT PRESENT
ID
The lll-Fated Maine Superseded Bya
Faster and Better Vessel The In.
tcresting Ceremonies.

Philadelphia, Special.-The battle
ship Maine, designed to be bigger,
stronger and faster than her name
sake whose shapeless mass lies in the
harbor Of Havana, was launched from
the yards ways at Cramps yards, was
on Building Company, Saturday morn
ing. The great hulls initial dip into
the waters Of the Delaware river was
success in every way. One of the
largest crowds that has ever seen a
Warship leave the ways at Camps
yards was on hand and patriotism
ran wild as the ship left her cradle.
Launchings Of warships at Cramps
have been so frequent that in late
years, such events have lost much OF
their attractive power. The presence
OF the immense crowd at this christ.
ening was largely due to the fan.. that
the new ship bears the name of the
ill-fated Maine. Kensignton, the great
industrial station wherein the ship
yard is located, took a holiday and at,
tended the launching. Thousands OF
persons from other parts Of the city
were on hand and as the yard was
thrown open to the public every want.
age point in the confines Of the place
swarmed with humanity. The weather
was beautiful. There was just enough
cool breeze from the river to temper
the warm rays Of the sun. Although
the number Of invited guests was not
as large as usual there was good at
tendence Of naval and civilian Off
cials.
President Mckinley, Secretary OF
the Navy Long, Admiral Dewey, Cap
tain Sigsbee and other naval dignf
saries who received invitations were
unable to attend. 1t was the inten-
ton to have some Of the survivors OF
the Maine witness the launching but
none was present.
The honor of christening the ship
was given to Miss Mary Preble An
ierson, of Portland, Me-, descendant
Of the Preble family that has added
fame to the naval honors Of the coun.
try. Next to the ship itself, Miss An
ierson was the centre Of interest and
her every movement was closely fol-
lowed. At 1925 Miss Anderson STEP
ped upon the stand that had been
erected at the bow Of the hull. She
was escorted by Henry s. Cramp, and
was accompanied by Governor Hill
his staff, her parents and several 9TH
ef members Of her family. Before
she arrived the knocking away OF the
blocks from under the great mass OF
steel had begun and all was ready
when the tide Stacked. Then the shoe
piece. the last timber that held the
ship. was sawed in twain and the yes.
sci began to move. Before she had
receded a foot Miss Anderson, true
10 custom, struck the bow OF the
Maine a blow with the bottle OF cham
pagne and formally christened her. AS
the vessel slid off the ways great
shout went up and every steam crat!
in the vicinity began the footing OF
whistles. The Maine, after she reach-
cd midstream, was taken in tow Dy
several tugs and brought to the shore.
After the launch an informal luncheon
was served in the dould loft OF the
