QUESTION OF SPONSOR FOR
GUNBOAT CAUSES FURRY

munication has caused the utmost
wonder and establishment at the navy
department. 1t breaks all records and
has created an unenviable notoriety
for Dubuque which it will take the
city some time to live down.
Ever since the United States has
started and it became a custom to
name the different vessels after some
state or city it has been considered
proper to have the chief official of the
state or city name some fair daughter
to break the champagne bottle over
the bow Of the vessel and christen 1t
as it slides down the ways. 1t is con-
| sidered great honor and usually the
fairest daughter available has been
| chosen. Never before has the invita-
! ton been refused
