THE FREIGHT STEAMER KIOWA
WILL BE PUT ON RUN BE
TWEEN HERE AND BOSTON
She W.! Be Valuable Addition to
the Company's Fleet-ls a Sister
Ship to the Huron and Has
Already Been Launched.

The steamship Kiowa, the sister
ship of the Huron, has been launched
and she Will take her place on the
Clyde line next month. The Kiowa is
| due here from New York on June 25
and the schedule will doubtless be
followed. She was launched last Sat
urday, being chrstened by Miss
Bessie Milne, niece of b. f. Clyde,
at the Cramps yards
The Kiowa is a steel hulled vessel
with wood deckhouse. She is fitted
with improved cranes and hoistig ap-
| paratus for the quick handling of
heavy cargoes. Her length is 300
feet, beam 43 feet and depth 30 feet
She is provided with triple expan-
sion engines of the three cylinder in
verted tyne, with a horse power of
about 1900 She will have a speed
of about II knots.
The Kiuwa is a sister Ship Of the
Huron and like the latter, she will
| be used only Tor freight business
| She has no passenger accommodations
at all, but -he is provided with com
Portable and convenient quarters for
the officers and crew of the vessel
Like the HIron, the Kiowa will be
known as the "extra boat" flying on
both the New York and Boston routes,
as the accumulation of freight de-
mands. The Huron has proved very
valuable to the Clyde company in
hauling it's heavy business during the
past, winter and it was .. matter of
lregret that the sbipbuilders could not
turn out her sister sooner
The Clyde lime has met with the
| loss iof several vessels during the
past few years, but it has endeavor-
er to hold its business by the construc-
ton Of the new vessels, and the Bos-
| ton Chat ClcstGn Brunswick line has
been fairly well treated in equipment
and addition Of the new steamships.
The fact Of the matter is that the
business is worth having and the
Clyde line has been making efforts
not only to hold, but to still further
increase its business and therefore
the company has been adding to the
Accommodations Of the local lines. The
clyde company has had considerable
opposition with the railroads and its
only way of meeting this competition
is to build and operate vessels.
Until the several New York liners
were heightened and the Huron was
put into service, there was much
complaint of freight being delayed
D. the piers and warehouses, but
the improvements of the service has
given such satisfaction, and with
The new vessel the service will be
still better,
The Kiowa's return trip will be to
New T0fk and then her run on this
line and the Boston line VII be dc
tormiued by the freight for the two
lines.

Which is the Cause of Electric Lights
BEING Out.

For the past few days the people Of
New Town have been complaining
about the electric service in that sec
ton of the city, saying that the arc
lights have been aut for the past sew
eral nights.
A News reporter yesterday saw
President Fendig. of the Mutual Light
and Water company, and he stated
that the cause of the trouble was on
account of repairs being made at the
plant. The boilers are being changed
and a number Of other improvements
are being made, which necessitated
the lights being out for a few nights
but they will be turned on again to-
night aud the people VIII not nave
another opportunity to complain
Since the Mutual took charge OF
the light and water plant they have
been busy making improvements, ana
have added considerable to the plant.
Whenever a change is made it is alb
solutolv necessary to cause some lt-
tle Inconvenience. but the company
soon hops to have their plant perfect
in every respect.

F. B. Chandler. auditor of the Bruins
wick e Birmingham railroad, return
ed yesterday from New York, wherc
they have been for several days on
business connected with the road

couraging of the B & p. and the pro

port that everything in New York is
getting in shape and that the plant
will be built as rapidly as possible
Mr. Twitty was seen by a repre-
sentative of The News, and when
asked what all the recent changes
meant on the b. & b. ne replied that
President Machen had simply sold
out his interest in the road. Why
Mr.. McLaurin had quit the road and
the steel plant, lie wes unable - give
any reason,
Mr. Twitty is of the opinion that
President Umsted is a hustler, and

Mr Umsted will probably be in the
city within the course of a few weeks.

"Crazy SOcfaP u Yankee Idea Which
Gives LondOners Something
to Say About Us.

That some English people believe
Americans capable of any sort Of freak
ish notion under the guise of entertain
ment is attested by paragraph in re-
cent issue Of an English weekly. Tho
writer, a woman. says IN American
friend tells her that "a new Yankee no.
ton is crazy social at which the idea
Is that everybody and everything
should look and act as insanely as might
be. The costumes, the women and the
men should be eccentricity personified,
and the food served must be arranged to
match" According to this chronicler,
at recent "craZy social" the meats
were served In jelly molds, jam pots or
dust-pans; the vegetables In cake-bas-
kets, the blanc-mange In a fire shovel,
the ice cream in stew pan, the wine
glasses were filled with mustard, the
jellies trembled In saucepan lid, the
cream was in pickle bottle, the sugar In
the salt cellars and the salt in the sugar
basins. The things which ought to have
been roasted were boiled, and salt fla
vored the food which is usually sweet.
Attempts were made to eat clear soup
with dessert forks, and ice cream with
table knives.
