Camden. N. j., March ls.-In the
presence of several thousand and to a
chorus of steam whistles and changing
bells, the United States armored
cruiser Washington, the most power
full of its class yet built, gracefully
glided from the ways at the yard of
the New York Shipbuilding company
today. AS the new warship swept
down the ways toward the ripping
waters of the Delaware the assembled
multitude wildly cheered the new
champion. Owing to the distance of
the state of Washington from this
city, there was not a large attend
Rnce OF citizens of the commonwealth
honored by the navy department
when the Washington was named.
There was an influential delegation
on hand. however, composed of state
officials, members of the legislature
and the Washington representation
In congress. The ship was christened
by Miss Helen Stewart Wilson, daugh-
ter of former United States Senator
Wilson, Of Washington.
The Washington was contracted for
on February s, 1904. and at the same
time the Cramps were awarded the
contract for a sister ship. the Tennes-
see. There has been quite a rivalry
between the two shipbuilding firms
to see which could complete its con-
tract the quickest The New York
Shipeuilding company is ahead with
the launching of the Washington.
This is partially due to the fact that
the ways on which the cruiser was
built are covered by a mammoth shed
of glass and steel allowing for work
In all kinds Of weather.
The washington, while not design
ed to be quite as fast as some of the
lighter armed cruisers, will have
greater battery and defensive powers
than any vessel classed as a cruiser
In fact, she will be superior to many
battleships of the earlier type. The
Washington's length on water line
is 502 feet; breadth at load water
line, 70 feet; displacement on trial,
25 feet; mean draft at maximum load,
27 feet. The steaming radius at 10
knots viii be $500 knots; steaming
radius at full speed. about 800 knots,
The armor plate protection ranges
from 9 inches for the turrets to 5
inches for the belt. The cruiser will
have a very heavy armament. The
main batteries will consist Of four 10
inch guns and 16 6-inch guns. The
secondary battery will have 23 3-inch
rapid-fire guns, IL 3-pounder semi
automatic guns, two 1-pounder auto
matte and two 1-pounder rapid-fire
guns, two S-inch field pieces and three
small calibre rapid-fire machine guns.
The indicated horsepower of the
engines is $4,000 and they are de-
scigned to drive the vessel at a speed
Of at least 22 knots an hour,

New York city did not by any
means get most Of these immigrants
though some two-thirds of them stay
ed In the Eastern states. AS showing
their superior character over the i'm
migrants of the Slavonic and Latin
races it is only necessary to show that
of all the host that came here less
than 1900 were detained for further
investigation, and of these all but 1923
were ultimately permitted to land.
Sake Neither One Nor the Other.
Those who have fallen under the
influence of the insidious Japanese
drink, sake, can discover what 1t is
composed of by reading a decision
rendered by the United States circuit
court of appeals the other day. The
learned court deliberated long and
earnestly over the question whether
sake was a still wine or beer, the
point arising In a customs case. The
court found resemblances to still
wine in the percentage Of alcohol
and resemblances to beer in the pro-
cess of manufacture, sake being a
brew from rice. But 1t found fur
ther so many points of dissimilartty
from both that 1t placed the Japanese
beverage in the catch-all clause of the
tariff which includes all articles not
! otherwise enumerated.
Divorce While You Wait.
| Much adverse comment is being
made by lawyers and clergymen over
an amendment to the divorce laws OF
the state which has been adopted by
the legislature at Albany. The
amendment provides that suits for d.
vorce may be begun in the state o.
New York by any nonresident II th'
offense complained of occurred In tht
state. The defendant must be a resi-
dent of the state, but this stipulation
carries no weight with It, as any per
son who has lived here few day
can claim residence here.
Under the amendment, John Smiti
of Saginaw, and his wife, conspirinl
to have the law separate them, nigh
come to New York, live here a few
weeks and then the wife could brinl
suit. She could claim residenc'
here, and name her husband as a res
ident. It would then be matter o
only few months at the most to ge
divorce. 1t is declared that tn
amendment is dangerous In every re
spect, as It would form In this city
rival to the divorce colony in Dakota
Governor Higgins will be petitione
not to sign the amendment.
. Fancy Prices for Art.
This has been a great season 70
art sales. No sooner is one close
than another commences. The amour
{ paid for pictures and antiques sol
3 at auction during the last two o
r three months will surely run into sew
Y eral millions of dollars. The lates
e sale on was the Glaenzer collection O
E antiques which was held at the Amer
0 lean art galleries this week. A gen
: uine old piece Of Chippendale carve
g after the style Of the Louis XIV perio
r and covered with the original Beau
!. vais tapestry, brought 1850 In on
= afternoon nearly $4,000 was realize

Stuck on Canada.

John Shorb returned Sunday from
Alberta, Canada, where he went some
six weeks ago to look for new loca-
ton in the stock business. He is
we'll pleased with the country in that
far northern land and will return
with his family to make his home
there about May 1st. He purchased
100 acres Of fine land and located a
homestead adjoining 1t and will fence
the land and engage in the stock

Interesting Letter From
New York City

New York, March 1s.-Naphtali
Herr Imber erratic genius of the
East Side, the original of "Makitsedek
Pinchas," and author Of the Zionist
anthem, has just published his latest
collection of poems, and the book Is
dedicated to His Majesty, the Mika-
do Mutsuhito, Ruler of Japan" whom
the bard elsewhere indicated as the
blood avenger of Kischineff. To
Mr.. Imber then belongs the honor OF
being the first man to dedicate a
hook written in Hebrew to the EN-
peror of Japan.
Mr.. Imber is also the first to
prophesy the downfall Of Russia In
Hebrew verse, and to sing of the tri-
umphs of Japanese arms. The book
represents the third edition of Mr..
Imber's collection of poems under the
name "Barkoi," which is the Hebrew
for Sparks From Heaven" There
are a number of new poems in the
volume, and nearly all of them deal
with the war in the Far East.
The Strenuous Life.
After much thought on the subject
the coroner's office has decided to
attribute to the strenuous life the un-
precedented number Of sudden
deaths which have occurred of late.
For that reason all coroner's physi-
clans have been Instructed to exer-
else the greatest possible care in ex-
amining the bodies Of all persons re-
ported to have "died suddenly"
Coroner Nicholas Brown, discussing
the subject, says: THE weather alone
has not been responsible for the enor'
nous number of deaths reported al
sudden There are other and more
cogent reason. People live too fast
they drink and eat too much and too
often and too rapidly. Some smoke
too much, and cigarette fiends espe
/ cially are subject to death from hear
failure. Others whiz through TN
, streets and country roads In automo
biles. While they may escape acci
dents, they die suddenly In bed o.
t elsewhere of heart trouble. Peopl'
3 who run up elevated railway stair
r ways to catch a train may lose thei
: lives as a result. The men and womei
Y who rush up subway stairs may no

Revival of Irish Immigration.

Standard Grocery VIII Handle Cloth-
ing Busineas-Prices Out, Slashed
and Slaueheted.
Inasmuch as there is no cloth
ing store on Court street, and as we
are often called upon to show our
grocery customers from the interior
country. where they can purchase
clothing, etc, we have decided to
handle agents suits, shoes, hats, caps.
ETC., in the future.
We intend to carry complete stock
of samples, but intend to make a
speciality of taking orders for tailor
made suits.
We often wondered how some Of
Pendleton's department CD stores
could afford to sell some groceries at
cost, In order to sell clothing.
We are no longer in the dark, as
we find since going into the clothing
business, that 1t is nearly all profit.
AS we intend to put this line in for
the accommodation of our customers,
we do not intend to make a profit
on the clothing business, but will sell
at cost. Below are few Of our prices
and you will also see samples of the
finest line of clothing in the city, on
display in our windows.
The best suit we carry is $40.
| Others ask as high as $40 for the
same suit. We have others. all wool
and strictly high grade as low as
S4.45 for a whole suit.
Underwear, SOC suit. worth 81.
Canvas gloves, pair csc, others
sell then for 25c.
Good heavy cotton sox, soc dozen.
Extra good working shirts. 45c
each.
Best overalls on earth for sec
either waist or bib overalls.
All other articles carried by a cloth
ing store can be had OF US at cost
same as above.
Some of our clothing competitor
may ridicule the idea Of going to
grocery store for clothing, but we bet
to say that It is not any more ridic
ulous than going TO clothing store
for groceries.
We made arrangements with ont
