WBB?PBB?BB? CM??W?P35 Tee Lexington Dispatch | Wednesday, January 7, 1903. / ! New Blaine is Beady. She Will be Under Captain Lentze and Will Join Dewey's Fleet. Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 31.?-The sew battleship Maine has been placed in com mission at the League Island Navy Yard. She was turned over to Captain Lentze, who will command her. The Maine was built to take the plac9 of the battleship of the sara^ name blown up in Havana harbor - - ? I before ttie Spamsn-American war. Ifc is thought the new fighter will be manned, coaled and provisioned as quickie as possible and sent to the West Indies to take part in the maneuvers under Admiral Dewey. Sixty marines arrived from Washington for the big fighting machine. The full complement of men for the Maine will be 550. Far Ahead of Old Ship. On her official trial trip, August 23 last, the new Maine showed herself the fastest of her class in the United States Navy. She averaged 18 3 knots forfour hours' run with oat allowance for tide and currents. Between the new Maine and the old are bat few points of resemblance. The first was rated as a secondclass battleship, with a displacement of only 6 682 tons. Her namesake is nearly twice as large, displacing 22,300 tons at normal draft. The principal dimensions of the new battleship are: LeDgth between perpendiculars, 388 feet; length over all, 393 feet 10? inches; extreme breadth, 72 feet; mean draft, 23 feet 6 inches; displacement at normal draft, 12,300 tons; estimated displacement at full load draft, 13,500 tons. As to type, the new vessel is an improved Alabama, equipped with a more powerful armament and hedged about with a greater area of armor protection. The armament designed for the vessel consists of fonr 12-inch breechloading rifles mounted in pairs in two eliptical balanced turrente, one forward and one aft. In addition there are 16 C inch rapid Are guns mounted in broadside, 6 14 pounds, 6 1-pounders, 2 Colt automatic and 2 3-inch rapid fire field guns. On the Maine the 14-pounder type of rapid-fire gun is installed for the first time on an American battleship. There are two submerged torpedo tubes on the ship, the Maine class being the first in which these tabes have been placed below the water line. Krupp armor?the kind which has recently given such striking proofs of its resisting qualities?is used throughout. The armor belt, which -is 11 inches thick at the top, tapering to 7? inches at the bottom, extends to within 60 feet of the stern, shielding the sides 3b feet above the water line aDd 4 feet below it. The casement armor is 6 inches thick; the barbette armor 12 inches in front, tapering into 8 inches in the rear. The protective deck is 12$ inches thick. The forward coniDg tower has 10-inch armor and the signal tower 6 inch armor. The engines are of the twin-screw, triple-expansion type. * ? .?i?? it-- -iJ i TQ6 ae8irucuou 01 iue Uiu utuueship Maine in Havana harbor occurred at 9:40 p. m., February 15, 1893. Of the 354 men on board 266 were killed by the explosion which wrecked the vessel. The naval court of inquiry failed to assign a positive cause for the explosion, but as is well known, millions of Americans put the blame on the Spaniards, and the war with Spain followed soon. Heads Should ITsvsr Ache. Never endure this trouble. Use at once the remedy that stopped it foi Mrs. N. A. Webster, of Winnie, Va . she writes "Dr. King's New Life Pills wholly cured me of sick headaches 1 bad suffered from for two years.1 Cure Headache, Constipation, Bilious ness. 25c., at Kaufmann Drug Co. "Slag to Me, My Child." An old man past the four score mark of life, with his locks whitened by the frosts of more than 80 winters sits in his chamber of helplessness. w hile his sod, the stsff and support, as well as the delight of his old age, lay dyiDg in a room below. Distress at the prospect of the tender parental tie being sundered, the uncontrollable grief of his heart bursts forth into sob9 and like David of old he sobF; "My sod, my son." And turning to his gentle companion who had been reading to him consoling passages from the Divine Revelation, he said, "Sing to me, my child." And the | sweet, gentle voice warbbled out the air the old familiar notes of the songs j of long ago and the weary spirit of j ; the eld man was comforted ana cairn- i i ed. "Sing to me my child,'' earth's j ties are breaking away. He woo was ! the strength of my youth is depart| ing to the unseen shore and the old man is left tottering on the brink. My heart is sorely troubled, then "Sing to me, my child," the songs of yore that my heart may be soothed and "the peace that passeth all understanding" may come into it. Call up from the past with music's subtle strains the long forgotten, the soDgs that bis mother sang to him when be played ground her knees and her hands wondered lovingly through hi3 flowing tresses. He is a man now and he is dying and I caDnot go to him. He is departing to the ecbolees shore and I can only fo.iow him to the brink aBd strain my ears to catch some word from the other side that be may waft back tome. None comes but clear across the rolling stream of death I hear the voice of the "Lion of the tribe of Judab, I am the resurrection 8Dd the life. He that believeth on me though he were dead yet shall he live sgain." Then "sing to me, my child," for I am a Christian." And the voice of the sweet songstress rises and swells with the pent up motion of her own heart and the old man is comforted and soothed. What a subtle power there is in music to slill the ranging billows of a troubled heart. Life's storms may beat and serge upon it like a mighty wave and the wand of the musician can still the troubled waters and guide into the haven of rest. Standing on the border land with a long and troubled life behind and great eternity before the soul of man who can say, "I know I am a Christian," would fain burst into song and cry out, "sing to me, my child." The aged saint about to depart ana be at rest forever almost shouts: "Ob, sing to me of heaven/ When I am called to die; Sing songs of holy ecstacy To waft my soul on high." We are told there is music in heaven and we read of the hundred and 9 forty and four thousand who join in the new song and make the vaults of heaven ring with the soDg of "Allelulia, Allelulie, the Lord omnipotent reigneth." We are told that they play upon harps and lyres and some of earth's sons and daughters in the last moments of dissolution just before taking their eternal fight, have had their mortal ears unstopped and have heard the ecastic strains of the heavenly choir. Then is it not strange that the aged pilgrim who has nearly finished his course and has kept the faith should say, "sing; to me, my child." As the music of heaven will be the first sounds that ravish the ears then "sing to me, my child," and let the curtain drop on the scenes of earth with the strains of music. Let earth and heaven begin with music. For Over Sizty Years.

This is the first gun of the war which has been precipated by the refusal of the Southern Pracific to join with the lines running west of Sr. Louis forming the Southwestern Colonization bureau.

Ooly 25c, at Eaufmaon Drug Co. Congressman Lever has received official notification of the contest of his seat in the fifty-eight Congress j by the negro Dantzler. We opine that the "Baby Congressman''^ losing no sleep on account of this contest, as the allegations of the complaint are so iiimsy as to make the conies: extremely ridiculous. His allegation that '-there were 12,000 Degroes in the Seventh district who were unlawfully prevented from voting,*' by reason of election restrictions, is absurd. We have heard numbers of negroes express themselves as beiDg unalterable opposed to the candidacy of Dantzler on the ground that, even should he be elected his eneumbency would reflect no credit upon the colored race and hence tbey declined to vote at all. Dantzler gets $2,000 for contesting, and this jb the "milk in the cocoanut.'1 We have a considerable sum of money due us on subscriptions which we stand greatly io need of.
