A NEW GUNBoAT.
Paducah Launched From the Morris
 HefgI1tS Yards

NC~SDNAS
 NEW YORK, Oct 12.-The gunboa, Paducah has been successfully launch. ed at Morris heights at the yards oi the Charles L. Seabury company or the Harlem river.
 As the vessel started on her journey toward the water Miss Anna May Yei. ser, daughter of D. A. Yeiser, the mayor of Paducah, Ky, broke the tra ditional bottle of wine over her bow and pronounced ill clear voice the words, 'I christen thee Paducah and wish thee godspeed."
 Miss Yeiser evidently was determin. ed that there should be no mistake about the naming of the Paducah. She had gripped the decorated bottle with both hands and, at the first sign oi motion in the craft, smashed 1t with a vigorous blow against the bow oi the little warship. The glass went flying in all directions, and the vessel was literally bespattered with the wine.
 Assisting Miss Yeiser was her sister Florence. A party7Vf 500 was gather. ed on the christening platform,
 It included Colonel Henry Yeiser, uncle of the sponsor, of Cincinnatii Miss B. Buckner, Miss Fl. Bogby, Mrs, Henry Blum, Urey Woodson, H. Cobh and Edward Paxton, representatives of Kentucky; Inspector of Construc. tion F. L. Fernaid, Inspector of Equip. ment R. H. Osborne and Inspector of Machinery R. .H. Maxwell, represent ing the United States government.
