WINE FOR THE CHRISTENING
To Be Used On The Battleship
Connecticut Protest of The
Christian Endeavorers

When the battleship Connecticut is
launched at the New York Navy Yard
a bottle of wine viii be used despite
the protest of the Christian Endeavor
ers. who have attempted to dissuade
Acting Secretary Darling from the
traditionary custom.
On behalf OF the Christian Endeavor-
ers of Connecticutt, Mr.. H. E. Spoon
er. of Kensintgon, Conn, forwarded
to the Navy Department number of
petitions requesting that wine be not
used at this function, but that there
be used in its stead ''pure crystal
spring water from the Connecticut
hills, against which for nearly 800
years no indictment has been found
and which has played a vital part in
building the sons of Connecticut into
the sinews of the nation.
In reply Mr.. Darling, the acting sec
retary of the navy. sent this letter:
81 am in receipt of your communi-
cation of August IL, 1904. forwarding
several petitions from the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, request
ing that the use of wine be dispensed
with as a part of the ceremony of
launching the battleship Connecticut,
on the ground that the use of wine
in the ceremony is practice mislead-
ing to the young, questionable to
others and offensive to many.
Il have great respect for your cause
and your organization, comprising
Ago, 90 societies and 5000, 900 members
in the United States, but in this par
ticular case. as a practical question, l
am unable to reach your conclusions.
Ii the youth of the country are mis-
led, it is not by the ceremony of break
ing wine upon the iron prov of bat
tleship, but because they follow false
prophets, and if such use of wine is
questionable to others and offensive
to many, it is because of Evil to him
who evil thinks.
'sIt is inconceivable that the break
ing of bottle of wine upon the Con-
necticut can injure her as battleship
or work the slightest injury to any
man; and as an example it seems to
me that the cause of temperance would
be better served if more of the
world IS product of wines were spilled
overheard to wash the hulls of bat
tleships. Finally, permit me to sug-
gest that you and the 1000, 600 people
you represent ought to find comfort in
the thought that wine thus expended
can neither imperil the soul nor con-
tribute to the cup of human sorrow" "

Local Militiaman Makes Excellent
Showing At The State
Rifle RANGE.

Local militiamen are extremely
proud OF the showing made yesterday

the magazine of the Krag Jorgensen

seconds. Corporal Smith had fifteen
seconds to spare in the minute allowed
him, delivering the first five in twenty
seconds and the last in twenty-five.
He was generously complimented by
Captain Munoz, the range officer, and
the range attaches. and there was a
general feeling of qualification that
a member of the 'hayseed' regiment

SUFFER|NGSOF THE RUSSIANS
Descriptions Of The Effects of The
Heavy Rains, The Deep
Mud And Heat.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 20. Narrowing
descriptions of the effects of the heavy
rains, the deep mud and tropical heat,
and the consumption of unripe fruits
ON the health of the Russian soldiers
around LiaO-yang are published by
the st. Petersburg papers.
One correspondent telegraphs: A
roaring torrent of yellow waves is
rolling down the Liao-y yand mountain
streams, which have flooded the sur
rounding country, and in order TO
reach the second Russian position one
has to cross them ten times. The
Cossacks ford the streams on their
horses, whose launches are covered
by the water, while foot soldiers un-
dress and raise their rifles above their
heads. Battalions of our troops climb
hills thus wet TO the marrow and jaded.
Carts, guns and wo-wheeled vehicles
conveying ammunition sink fast in the
mud Boots are coated with dirt, and
the entire uniform is soaked through
and through, in spite of maeintoshes
and waterfalls, in the rain which
falls in torrents from the saddles and
from horses.
Greeks and Tartars have opened
numerous shops, in which they are
selling inferior wares obtained from
Wing kow and Harbin. The railway
battalion supplies us with tailors and
shoemakers. Prices are pretty high,
but there are workshops and stores,
and everything needful can be found
in I.iao- yang. The Greeks have brought
us German, Danish and japanese beer.
champagne and liquors. The food at
the hotels is inferior, but nothing is
lacking not even billiards. The eli
mate is homicidal The heavy rains
are accompanied by tropical heat.
Sunstrokes and heartstrokes are fire.
quent, and often produce heart paraly-
sis. 1t is impossible to drink water
from the streams, and the troops de-
pend upon the hot tea with which
they are supplied. The vegetables to
be obtained, and especially the Chi
nese cucumbers, are most harmful,
but our soldiers eat them, even on the
march, Worst of all, however, is
Manchuria diet. Exposed To the rain,
in slush and Shiny mud, our brave sol
diers perish who are otherwise able
to endure all the hardships and suffer
ings of a campaign. Never before
have Russians troops been called upon
to fight under such terrible condi-
tions.
