LAUNCHING THE YALE
FINE TURBINE-PoWER STEAM
SHIP FOR COAST SERVICE.

- PHILADELPHIA. Pa December 1.-The
turbine power steamship Yale, which was
launched today from the yard of the Della
ware Iron Works, Is to be the fastest, as
well one of the finest. vessels engaged
in American Atlantic coast service. The
Yale is the property of the Metropolitan
Steamship Company, which for nearly fifty
years has operated an ''all-the-way- by
water freight service between New York
and Boston.
A year ago, when Charles W. Morse and
associates came into possession of this
line, they concluded to establish also a
passenger and express freight business.
Plans were accordingly made for the tur-
bine steamships, the Yale and the Har-
ward. which would excel in safety, speed
and luxury. After installation of their
machinery at the w. and A. Fletcher Com
panys works at Hoboken, n. j. both ships
will be ready by June 1 to open the all
water passenger route on the outside line"
between New York and Boston.
The general dimensions of the two steam
ers are: Length, 407 feet; breadth over
guards, sixty-three feet: draught of water.
loaded sixteen feet; motive capacity, 1000
horse power. They will accommodate 500
passengers each and 600 tons of express
freight. The Yale and Harvard are of steel.
double-hull construction the hulls being
divided into many compartments by water
tight bulkheads and double bottoms. They
are designed to make the outside run be-
tween New York and Boston in fifteen
hours, or between In the evening and
in the morning, maintaining an average
speed of twenty-three statute miles per
hour. There will be a quarter deck, or
social hall, which the passengers will enter
upon boarding; also a dining ROOM which
will be open to outside view, light and
ventilation. The main saloon will be upon
the upper deck, with gallery saloon above
that. and the staterooms will be located
on the two upper decks There will be
forty parlor and bathroom suites and 275
other staterooms. The decorations and
furnishings of the main saloon will be
after the colors of the universities for
which the steamers are named.
The adoption of the turbine power for
these vessels was largely due to the sue
cess of the new turbine steamship Gov.
Cobb, recently placed in service on the
route between Boston and st. John, n. Il.

and Active
at Golden WeddinQ

Mr.. and Mrs. r. M. Hud-
gins of Norfolk, Va, have
just celebrated their golden
wedding. Mr.. Hudgins is
seventy-nine years ofage and
Mrs. Hhdgins seventy-two.
This dear old couple are
vigorous and active both in
body and mind, thanks to
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
Mrs. Hudgins writes that
Notwithstanding the fact that
they have tried many medi-
cines they have found none
to equal Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey.
Il have been using Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey for FIVE or six years,
and get more benefit from it used as
a tonic than from any other medi-
cine. l can truthfully say this, as I
have tried many other medicines.
1t has no equal. Duffy's Malt is
the best for Body and Brain.
Il am seventy-two years of age,
ard may, with the use of Duffy's
Malt Whiskey, live many years
longer. My husband is seventy
nine years old and very active and
hearty. We both give praise to the
best of all medicines. 1t does me
more good for bronchial trouble
than anything l ever tried. We are
getting along nicely" Mrs. R. M.

afternoon comparing children, relating ex-

Another American Island.

Uncle SANS possessions have been
enlarged by the addition Of one small
island to the Aleutian chain just north
of Unimak Island. 1t is a little affair,
only a few acres Of surface appearing
above the sea, but its advent was at
tended with much commotion and the
surrounding waters are still 20 hot as to
discourage close inspection.
This particular neighborhood is cele-
brated as the only place where we have
acquired new territory without n
negotiation or expenditure. Over a cer-
fury ago Bogoslov Island rose here out
Of the sea-. 1t was nothing more or less
than a fiery mountain belching forth
volumes Of volcanic ash and gases, and
finally it came into our possession with
the rest Of the Alaska purchase. Then,
twenty-four years ago, a ley mountain
rose about a half mile north Of the old
one and received the name of New Bogos-
low. 1t was connected with the older
island by an isthmus and for many
months it was tho hottest part Of our

A Yellow Proceeding.

The extraordinary proceeding by
which on Saturday two Coroners, a
member OF the District Attorneys staff
and sundry police officials labored to
extort from the aged Mrs. STEEroN a
confession that she had murdered her
daughter, Mrs. ALICE G. d. KINNAN, in
The Bronx ON June 8, seems to involve
a complete abandonment OF the theories
and forms Of the common law. The
course laid out by the inquisitors appears
to be modelled exactly upon the French
system. The Coroner in charge of the
ease acted as juge d'instruction, and he
permitted and used all the methods of
fnesse and terrorization by which French
prosecuting officials endeavor to make
persons suspected of crime convict
themselves.
There was the reiterated question in
volving indirect accusation; there were
the questions assuming the guilt of the
person under suspicion and urging an
explanation as to how and why the crime
was committed; there were the exhorta-
tons to speak the truth; there was
the exhibition Of relics Of the de-
ceased; there was the demonstration of
the crime by a detective swinging the
weapon with which it is supposed to have
been committed, and by a surgeon, who
fitted the pointed end of the weapon into
the dents in the battered skull. 1t would

Psychology of the Englishman in America.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Str: hold no
brief for the English. but ! think l undo rstand
some things a tribe better than some people. Mr..
Dooley says the English In this country never
really lose their love for England and never cease
knocking this country, The facts are as follows;
England is a country OF caste. Most Englishmen
coming here come with the fond expectation OF
nnding human nature different from what It is In Eng
land, but It Isn't. Caste reigns supreme here. too.
Everybody wants to be considered superior. It's
simply human nature.
The E~nglishman, therefore. hnds himself gencr-
ally lower down than he was In England, and his
amour propre Is hurt more and more, and he natur-
ally begins TO remember that there were some
things about England he liked, and distance lends
enchantmcnt to the view. and when he nnds Ameri-
can papers and practically all Americans ready 10
slap England every chance they get he soon begins
TO talk out in open meeting. and the more he talks
the moro he has 10 talk. for he gets It" harder and
harder.
Now. II he will remember that Il Is a compliment
TO England that America pays when she abuses her,
because Americans don't waste time abusing CON
mon folk. he will feel better about II. ! like Amer
lea better than England, and yet Americans at
times have made ne feel mighty r%esentful; but
It's a great and glorious country, with q magnin-
cent future. and we Englishmen are going to be
here to enjoy It. ADRIAN JOHNSON.

The history Of some other islands that
have come into view within the past few
years also seems TO disqualify these new
arrivals for life insurance. Falcon ISL

three miles In circumference; its high
est point was 4so feet above the sea, and
the Japanese raised their flag over it
and named the new territory Mi Shima;
but it has melted away like sugar in a
teacup, and at last accounts it was a
menace to shipping, no part Of it rising
more than a few feet above sea level.
Old Bogoslov is densely inhabited, for
it is a favorite haunt for sea lions, and
myriads of birds choose this lonely spot
to rear their young. 1t remains to be
seen whether its youngest sister island
will live long enough to serve the same
useful purpose.

Consequences.

Close on the heels Of popular and
legislative approval Of the principle
on which rests the Federal meat inspec-
ton project comes a favorable report
from the Senate Committee on Agricul-
ture and Forestry on Senator SIMMoNs's
bill providing for Federal inspection Of
fruits, berries, vegetables, potatoes and
melons. 1t is proposed that the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture shall have inspectors
at as many centres to which these pro-
ducts are shipped as he may deem wise
to examine cargoes on the request Of
the consignees. If the stuff examined
Is damaged the inspectors are to certify
to that effect, the certificates to be for
warded to the consignors when settle
ment Is made.
The measure was introduced by Mr..
SIMMONS before the meat inspection
amendment was proposed. 1t is APP
parently designed for the protection of
innocent agriculturists against sharp
practices of dishonest commission men.
Il is unlikely that it would have been
heard Of had not meat inspection as a
Federal function been welcomed 30
warmly in Congress and throughout the
nation. II the Government is to protect
the stomachs of the u Of ami
NAL foods, why should it not guard the
pocketbooks Of the producers Of vege-
tables?
There is q glowing prospect that soon
the Federal Government will inspect,
regulate, label, everything. In a future
happy day there will be no vestiges of
the States. A benefcent bureaucracy
will control all the incomings and out
goings Of the American people.
