King Edward has expressed his
wish very clearly that money expend-
ed in celebrating his coronation should
be devoted to charitable and philan-
thropic objects rather than to mere
ostentatious display. Being informed
that Greenwich purposed commemo
rating the coronation by raising funds
for permanent enlargem Mt Of the
local hospital, the King Informed the
borough, through Sir Francis Knollys,
the private secretary Of his majesty,
that be was greatly pleased with the
spirit displayed ana thought the local
charities were much the best objects
for celebration expenditures through
out the kingdom. The royal wish is
likely to have widespread result and

GIANT OCEAN LINER.
Description Of the Kroonland,
Launched at Philadelphia.
LARGEST AMERICAN BUILT VESSEL

New Steamship, $50 Feet Long, With
q Register Of 10000 Tons and .
Speed of Seventeen Knots an Hour,
Will Ply Between New York and
Antwerp.
The new steamship Kroonland was
launched at Cramps shipyard the 9th
er afternoon in Philadelphia, says the
New York Times. The tallow on the
ways had frozen, and the Kroonland
stuck to such an extent that 1t was
necessary to use powerful hydraulic
Jacks in order to slide her into the wa.
ter. The launching Of the Kroonland
was Of an informal character. Only a
few invitations, and these verbal, were
issued.
The Kroonland is of the same type
as the Vaderland and iceland and is a
sister ship to the Finland, In course of
construction at Cramps. Her contract
speed is seventeen knots an hour. She
is $50 feet long, which is twenty-six
feet longer than the st. Louis or st.
Paul, and has register of 10000 TONS
or 400 tons more than the st. Louis or
st. Paul. She possesses every device
for the safety and comfort Of passen-
gers and carries the latest improved
appliances for the protection of life.
Except in the one point Of speed the
Kroonland Is the equal Of the finest
steamship afoat and will enable per-
sons of moderate means to enjoy all
the luxuries Of the fastest ocean grey
hounds.
Passengers are to be carried on three
decks-the promenade, the upper and
the saloon deck. Among the numerous
distinct advantages offered is the loca-
ton in the midship Of all first and Sec
ond cabin saloon and staterooms,
point where motion is at a minimum.
For lighting and ventilation, In addi-
ton to the numerous sidelights, there
is an unusually large trunk well ex-
tending through two tiers of decks,
tastefully decorated and lighted
through a richly ornamented glass
roof. "~'T--.-.---~-
All the rooms are unusually large,
excellently lighted and ventilated by
the same process as on the st. Louis
and the st. Paul. In cold weather this
air Is heated by passing over steam
pipes, and the heat thus supplied may
be regulated for each deck independ-
emily. The interior rooms, which in
many vessels are sometimes so dark
as to require artificial light, are in
these lighted from overhead by oval
glasses sufficiently large to give ample
light. For extra illumination electric
lights are provided. All of these rooms
are finished in mahogany.
Everything possible has been done
to make the music room and library
attractive. The smoking room for first
class passengers Is paneled in Ameri-
can oak and has all the latest appoint
ments and conveniences. The descrip-
ton of the first cabin staterooms will
very nearly serve for the second cab
in, the fittings being almost Identical.
The steerage quarters are commodious
aud we'll ventilated.
There are berths for 343 first class
passengers, 1914 second class and about
1000 third class. The arrangements
for loading and discharging cargo are
very complete. The vessel is the lar
gest built thus far in the United States.
She was designed especially for the
New York-Antwerp service Of the In.
ternational Navigation company.
