The launching ©1 the tag vessel was effected without a hitch and she now rests calmly on the sratm of the bay. Th« dalherlnc Crowds. All morning long ;he street cars lej, *Jown thrir h^uls of people at tliiL^tTip yanl ami all the available boats on the hay were pressed into service by people axious to see the baptism of tbq gn«t vessel. Thousands of people saw the plunge from different point* of vantage, and the platform, es peetally set aside for the guests of th< Union iron work* was crowded to it* fall capacity. The Wisconsin dciegn tiun of ’“Christeaera,’* which journeyeo a|l the way from the Badger state tc witness the #ent, were given the place* of holior uppn the platforir with the representatives of the state the city and the great iron works r<^ stpaoaible for the safe delivery of th« craft to the government. Ksktwc llrwdjr for the I’lunc**. fhr an hour lief ore the plunge a large lores' of workmen tore away the eluck hkx'ks which supported the vessel, ami they finished their task al* mast to the minute of the prescribed time for the launching, leaving otilv tme chock to restrain the monster, and this was the support that little JUaa Lurik' tinge, daughter of the gov* vramrchv't of the state. had been asijgisrrl to remove by means of a guilIntine ami the inevitable electric but* ton. At a given signal the little Miss pnwHrd the button and the crash of tweaking timbers announced to the Ibus-samls of anxious sneotators that dlte vessel »vm about to leave the ways.

Hi.-« t«rl»lrnli«u. Klowly the iron monster moved toManiN the boy, and all eyes wefe Inmed to watch Miss Elizabeth Stephenson break two bottles of champagne •ipiiu the ho»v of the vessel. Just as the muss of iron anil steel touched the' -water the fair christener raised the -ribbon-bedecked bottles ami brought them down on the nose,of the vessel. The roar of applause which greeted this final act was almost deafening. TV controversy over the kind of wine to be mu'll was sett let! by the use of a tiottlc of French make,provided by the i\Vlnronsin christening committee, anti smother of California champagne, providrd by the Vnion iron works. The vessel gathered momentum as she proceeded to the wnjyr, and after tearing the ways floated along until ^brought to a stop in the basin, where ♦lie work of completing her will go on. The wnrshi|>s in the harltor ired asluti-s as she struck the water. An Attatiulnc Iwtlurf. An amusing feature of the launching was the wetting of a number of people who were standing on the adjoining brat'll. The rush of water following the baptism was so great that the people on the beach could not cseapc.it, and many of them were thor»ought y wetted, A number of White 11a II boats narrowly escaped capsi/«ing.

A THREATENED STORM. Tlf ran Proust Agatul the Qnrtwlai ot Cttt.au Troops at Ltuto Rock - Uround* ot Ohjeotloa. Little Rock. Aik., Nov. 38.—Lieut. J. W. Phillipps, commandant at Foil Logan H. Coot, received a telegram last night from the war department notifying him that a detachment from the Twenty-Hfth infantry would be sent to this station to do garrison duty. This information has created a sensation among citizens generally, and caused a stir whicL threatens to : develop into a storm. The trouble is on account of the fact that the soldiers designated for duty here are negroes, and beyond a doubt a strong protest will be entered with the war department j by the state authorities and citizens j against the occupation of the post by colored troops. The protest will not j ‘ be based entirely upon hostility to the J ! negro, but on the feeling prevailing in view of the recent troubles at south- ; ern camps against placing negroes in , a position where clashes with the , ‘ whites are likely to occur. Gov. j j Jones, in speaking of the matter last j night, said that he considered the j | sending of the\ negro troops here an UeYheedingty unwise thing to do, and; declared that he would certainly remonstrate with .the federal authorities and nrotest against it to the war department.

The bridge was under construction at the time of the accident, and it is reported that several of the bridge workers were more or less injured. One span of the structure gave way precipitating part of the train to the water below, a distance of 30 feet. The train was loadedwith live stock, und some of the ears were demolished, killing a considerable number of the cattle. A wrecking crew with surgeons was sent from Roanoke to the scene of »he accident. A DESPERATE NEGRO

DAWN OF A CENTUM Dr. Talmage Preaches of the Brightcess in Which It Comes. America Te-day (he Chosen Halloa nf ttoil—Whal IkrUM tealary Leave* Behind It—Christianity la Spreading.

ICopyright. M9S.J Washington. Not. R. Thta sermon of Dr. To l in age is an anticipation of things near at band and urges preparation for stirring events; text, I Chronicles. J2:32: "'The children ©f Issachar. which were men that ba*i understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.** Greet tribe, that tribe of lssochar. When Joab took the census, there were 143.600 of them. Before the almanac was bom. through astrological study, they knew from stellar conjunctions all about the seasons of the year. Before agriculture became an art they were skilled in the raising of crops. Before politics became a science they knew the temper of nations, and whenever they marched, either for pleasure or war. they marched under a threecolored flag—topaz, sardine and carbuncle. But the chief characteristic of that tribe of Issachar was that they understood the times. They were not like the political and moral incompetents of our day. who are trying to gtridt^ ISO# by the theories of 1828. They looked at the divine indications in their own particular century. So we ought to understand the times, rot the times when America was 13 colonies | huddled together along the Atlantic coast, but the times when the nation dips one hand in the ocean on oue side the continent and the other hand in the ocean on the other side the continent; times which put New York Narrows and the Golden Horn of the Pacific within one flash of electric telegraphy; times when God is as directly, ns positively, ns solemnly, as tremendously addressing us through ■the daily newspaper and the quick revolution of events as be ever addressed the anoiewts or addressee us through the noly Scriptures. Th.? voice of God in Providence is ns important as the voice of, God in typology, for in our own day we have had our Sinais with thunders of the Almighty, and Calvaries of sacrifice, and Gethsemanes that sweat great drops of blood, ond Olivets of ascension, and Mount j Pisgahs of far-reaching vision. The i Lord w*ho rounded this world 6.000 years ago. and sent his Son to redeem it | near 1.900 years ago has yet mueh to do ; with this radiant but agonized planet. (May God make us like the children if Issachar. “which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." The grave of this century will soon be | dug. The cradle of anothercentury will j soop be rocked. There is something moving this way out of the eternities. ! something that thrills me, blanches me. appalls me, exhilarates nie. enraptures me. It will wreathe the orange blossoms for millions of weddings. It will beat the dirge for millions of obsequies. It will carry the gilded banners of brightest- mornings and the black flags of darkest midnights. The world will play the grand march of its heroes and sound'the rogues’ march of its cowards. Other processions may halt or break down or fall back, but the procession led by that leader moves steadily on and will soon be here. It will preside over coronations and dethronements. I hail it! I bless itf I welcome it! The twentieth century of the Christian era.

What may we expect of it ami how shall we prepare for it are the momentous questions T propose now to discuss. As in families human nativity is anticipated by all sanctity and kindliness and solemnity and care and hopefulness. so ought we prayerfully, hopefully. industriously, confidently 4>repare for the advent of a new ce'iftury. The nineteenth century must not treat the twentieth on its arrival as the eighteenth century treated the nineteenth. Our century inherited the wrecks of two revolutions and the superstitions of age. Around its cradle stood the armed assassin of old world tyrannies; the “reign of terror." bequeathing its horrors; Robespierre, plotting his <!iabolism; the Jacobin club, with its wholesale massacre; the guillotine, chopping its beheadtnents. The ground quaking with the great guns of Marengo. \Y9gram and Badnjoa. A11 Europe in convulsion. Asia in comparative quiet, but the quietness of death. Afiica in the clutches of the slave trade. American sstvages in full cry. their scalping knives lifted. The exhausted and poverty struck people of America sweating under the debt of $'00,000,000. which the revolutionary war bad left them. Washington just gone Into the long sleepat Mount Vernon. and the nation in bereavement. Aaron Burr, the champion libertine, becoming soon after vice president. The government of the United States only •n experiment, most of the philosophers and statesmen and governments of the earth prophesying it would be a disgraceful failure. No poor foundling laid at night on the cold steps of a mansion, to be picked up in the morning. was poorer off than thiscentury at Its nativity. The United States government had taken only 12 rtepe on its journey. Its constitution having been formed in 1789. and most of the nations of the earth laughed at our government in ita first attempts to walk alone.

The birthday or our nineteenth century occurred In the time of war. Our small United States nary, under Capt. Truxton. commanding the frigate Constitution. was in collision with the French frigates La Vengeance and L*Insurgente. and the first infant cries of this century were drowned in the enar el naval battle. And political

strife uu tilts continent was the hottest, the parties rending each other with pantherine rage. The birthday present of this nineteenth century was vituperation. public unrest, threat of national demolition and horrors national and international. I adjure you. let not the twentieth century be met in that awful way. but with ail brightness of temporal and religious prospects. First. let us put upon the cradle of the new century a new map of the world. The old map was black with too many barbarisms and red with too many slaughters and pale withtoo many sufferings. Let us see to it that on that map. so far as possible, our country from ocean to ocean is a Christianized continent—schools, colleges, churches

and good Domes in Ion" une from ocean beach to ocean beaeh. On that map Cuba must be free. Porto Iiico must be free. The archipelago of the Philippines must be free. If cruel Spain expects by procrastination and intrigue to get back what she has surrendered, then the warships Iowa and Indiana and Brooklyn and Texas and Vesuvius und Oregon roust be sent back to southern waters or across to the coast of Spain to silence the insolence, as decidedly as last summer they silenced the Cristobal Colon and Oquendo and Maria Teresa and Viatcaya. When we get- those islands thoroughly under our protectorate, for the first time our missionaries in Chiua will be safe. The atrocities imposed on those good men and women in the so-called Flowery Kingdom will never be resumed, for our guns oil? be too near Hong-Kong to allow the massacre of missionary settlements. On that map must be put the isthmian canal, begun if not completed. No long voyages around Cape Horn for the world’s merchandise, but short and cheap communication by water instead of expensive communication by rail train, and more millions will be added to our national wealth and the world’s betterment than I have capacity to calculate; > On the map which we will put on the cradle on the new century we must have very soou a railroad bridge acros« Bering strait, those 3<i miles of water, not deep, and they are spotted with islands capable of holding the piers of a great bridge. And what with America and Asia thus connected and Siberian railway, and a railroad , now projected for the length of Africa, and Palestine and Persia and India and China ami Burma intersected with railroad tracks, all of which will be done before the new century is grown up. the way will be open to the quick cirilizatiou and evangelization of ihe whole world. The old map we used to 6tudv in our boyish days is dusty and on the top shelf or amid the rubbish of the garret, and so will the present map of the world, however gilded and beautifully bound, be treated, and an entirely new; mop will be put into tie infant-'le hand of the coining century The work of this century has been get ready. All the earth is now free to the Gospel except two little spot*, one in Asia and one in Africa, while at the beginning of the century there stood the Chinese wall aud there tlameu the fires and there glittered the sword* that forbade entrauce to many islands and large reaches- of continent. Bor.nesian cruelties and Fiji island cannibalism have given way, and all the gates of the continents are swung open with a clang that has been a positive and glorious invitation for Christianity to enter. Telegraph, telephone and phonograph are to be consecrated to Gospel dissemination, and, instead ot the voice that gains the attention of a fe<f'‘hundred or a few thousand people within the church walls, the telegraph will thrill the glad tidings and the telephone will utter them to many millions. Oh. the infinite advantage that the twentieth century has over what the nineteenth century had at the starting!

lu preparation for this coming century we have time iu the intervening years to give some decisive strokes at the seven or eight great e%'ils>that curse the worid. It would be uu assault and battery upon the coming century by this century if we allowed the full blow of present evils to fall upon the future. VYe ought somehow to cripple or minify some of these abominations. Alcoholism is to-day triumphant, and are we to let the all-devouring monster that has throttled this century seize upon the next without lirst having tilled his accursed hide with stinging arrows enough to weaken and stagger him? We have wasted about 25 years. How so? While we have been waiting for the law of the land to prohibit intoxicants we have done little to quench the thirst of appetite in the pulate and tongue of a whole generation. W'ber* are the public and enthusiastic meetings that used to be held 30 years ago for the one purpose of persuading the young and middle aged and old that strong drink is poisonous and damning? When will we learn that we must educate public opinion up to a prohibitory law- or such a law will not be passed or if passed will not be executed? Hod grant that all state and national legislatures may build np , an impassable wall, shutting out the I alcoholic abomination. But while we 1 wait for that let us. in our homes, in out schools and our churches and on our' platforms and in our newspapers, persuade the people to stop talcing alcoholic stimulant unless prescribed by physicians, and then persuade physicians not to prescribe it if la all the dominions of therapeutics there may be found some other mnedy. Oh. save the young man of to-day and greet the codling century with a tidal wave of national redemption! Do not put upon the cradle of the twentieth century a mountain of demijohns and beer barrels and rum jugs and put to Its Infant bps wretchedness, disease, murder and abandonment In solution. Aye, reform that army of Inebriates. "Ah.** you say. “it cannot be done!" That shows that sou will be of no use j

...... ia the work. "O \* oi tittle lain*; Away back in early times President Daria. of Princeton college, one day found a man in utter despair because of the thrall of strong drink. The president said to him: “Sir. be of good cheer. You can be saved. Sign the pledge.** “Ah.** said the despairing victim, **I have often signed the pledge, but 1 have always broken my pledge.” “But,” said the president. “I will be your strength to keep the pledge. 1 will be your friend and with a loving arm around you will bold you up. When your appetite burns, and you feel that you must gratify it. come to my house. Sit down with me in the study or with the family in the parlor, dnd 1 will be a shield to you. All that 1 can do for j you with my books, my sympathy, my experience, my society, my love, my money. I will do. You shall forget your appetite and master it.” A look of hope glowed on the poor man’s face, and he replied: ”Sir. will you do all that?” “Surely 1 will.” “Then 1 will overcome.” He signed the pledge and kept it. That plan of President Davis which saved one man. tried on a large scale, willsave a million men. V\fhat a boon to the world if Russia and Germany and England and the United States could safely disband all their standing armies and dismantle their fortresses and spike their guns! What uncounted millions of dollars would be saved, and. more than that, what a complete cessation of human slaughter! What an improvement of the morals of nations! What an adoption of that higherand better manifesto which was set to music and let down from the midnight heavens of Bethlehem ages ago! The world has got to come to this. Why not make it the peroration of the nineteenth century*’ Are we going to make a present to the twentieth century of reeking hospitals and dying armies and hemispheric graveyards? Do you want the hoofs of other cavalry horses on the breasts of fallen men? Do you want other harvest fields gullied with wheels of gun

carriages? uo you want Hie s«y glaring with conflagration of other homesteads? Ah, this nineteenth century has seen enough of war. Make the determination that no other century shall be blasted with it. Will it not be grand if on the first day of the twentieth century the last will and testament of the nineteenth century shall be opened and it shall be found to read: “In the name of God. amen. I. the dying century, do make this my last will and testament. I give and bequeath to mv heir, the twentieth century, peace of nations; swords, which I direct 1o be beaten into plowshares, and spears, which .must be turned ipto pruning hooks; armotfies. to be changed into schoolhouses and fortresses to be rebuilt.into churches, and I order that greater honors be out on those who save life than upon those who destroy it. And if amid the universal peace now attained those two nations. Spain and Turkey, do not stop their cruelties, let the other nations, banded together, extemporize a police force to wipe those countries otT the map of nations as a wet sponge wipes from a boy’s slate at school a hard sum in arithmetic. This last will I sign and seal and deliver on the 31st day of December, in the year of our Lord 1900, all the civilized nations of earth and all the glorified nations of Heaven witnessing” Hut what we do as individuals, as churches, as uations, as continents, we must do very soon, if we want the transition from century to century to be a worthy transition, for I hear the trumpets of the approaching century and the clattering hoofs of the host it leads on. It has been a custom in all Christian lands for people to keep w'atch night as an old year goes out and a new’ year

comes in. I'eople assemble in churches about ten o'clock of that last night of the old year. amt they have prayers-and songs and sermons and congratulations until the bauds of thechurch clock almost reach the figure 12. and then all oow in silent prayer, and the scene is mightily impressive, until the clock in the tower of the church or the clock in the tower of the city hall strikes 12. and then all rise and sing with smiling face and jubilant voice the grand doxology. and there is a shaking of hands all around. Hut what a tremendous watch.night the worid is soon to celebrate! This century will depart at .12 o’clock of the 31st of December of the year 1900. What a night that frill be. whether starlit or moon.'it or dark with tempest! It wii! be such a sight asyou and i never saw. Those who watebed the coming in of the nineteenth century long ago went to their pillows of dust. Here and there one will see the new century arrive who saw this century, yet they were too infantile to appreciate the arrival. But on the watch night of which 1 speak in all neighborhoods and towns and cities and continents audiences will assemble and bow in prayer, waiting for the last breath of the dying century, and when the clock shall strike 12 there will be a solemnity afd an overwheimingawe such as hate not been felt for 100 years, and then all the people will arise anckehant the welcome of a new century of joy and sorrow, of triumph and defeat, of happiness and* woe. and neighborhood will shake hands with neighborhood, and church with church, and city with city, and continent with continent, and hemisphere with hemisphere, and earth with Heaven, at the stupendous departure and the majestic arrival. May we all be living on earth to see the solemnities and join in the songs and shake hands in the congratulations of that watch night, or if between this and that any of ua should be off and away may we be inhabitants of that land where “a thousand years are as one day.** and In the presence of that angel spoken of in the Apocalypse who at the end of the world will, standing with one foot on tbo tea and the- other foot on the land, “swear by Him thalJivetii for ever and ever that that shaft, bo u looser.1*
