Unusual interest attaches to the launch
Ing that occurs at the Newport News ship
yards Saturday of this week. The vessel to
be launched is the Maryland, the latest
man-o'-war to be added to Uncle Sam 8

r1ed from Norfolk to the scene Of the

tation to the former place.

flight to places of safety, and after about
five minutes of hard work on the part of
the crew of the steamer and fright on the
part of many of the passengers ropes We're

tied to post.

the addition of a ship to the fleet is justly
made event of Importance. Particularly
interesting to Washingtonians is the
launching that occurs at Newport News

leaves the ways is named for the neighbor-
ing state of Maryland. The honor thus
rendered the state is sure to be felt by all,
and undoubtedly many will witness the
ceremonies.
The Hotel Chamberlin, Old Point Com
fort is not only the nearest. but the finest
hotel at which accommodations for the
event may be secured, and in the past it
has always housed majority of the guests
congregating for similar purposes. This
hosiery is known throughout the length
and breadth of America, all tourists max
ing 1t point to sojourn there at some sea-
son of the year, and the number of dis
tinguished foreigners who have enjoyed its
hospitality indicates in what repute it is
