New York, Sept. x29.—Anchored down the bay, the fleet yesterday presented an miimated appearance, the Olympia, flag- rhip of Admiral Dewey, being, o f eourae,I he center of attraction. Commit tees and ilelegutlong, official i.-aljers anil unofficial visitors «\Varnied over the vessel during the day, and circling around her excur­sion steamboats, launches, rowboats and tugs Hfcpt up a merry go round that be­gan almost before tin* ship had made her morning toilet and ended only wheu twi­light fell.

Three bauds enlivened the pretty cere­mony o f "colors,” one on each of the flag­ships present. Another ceremony which came after was the presentation on board the Olympia o f the bronze medals award­ed by congress to the men who fought in the battle of Manila. The medals for the officers and the marines arc not yet ready, but as the land parade is near it was decided to distribute among the blue­jackets such of the medals «8 had been received. The crew was accordingly call­ed to muster, and the presentation was

A D M IR A L D EW EY, made by Captain Lamberton, Admiral Dewey looking on.

Very simple was the ceremony, the men stepping from the ranks as thoir names were called and receiving from the hands of their commander the highly prized bits of bronze which congress had awarded to them for their conduct during the fight.

F n r rn t r a t 'i i P e n n a n t P r e s e n t e d .Then there wns another presentation,

this to Admiral Dewey himself. I t was nothing hut a faded piece of bunting, but it is doubtful if the admiral would ex­change it for any other of the muny gifts that have been showered upon him. The presentation was made during the visit of the Washington committee, which came on hoard .during the forenoon. ‘For­malities over; Commander George W . Baird, who had served with Farragut and Dewey in the civil war, unrolled a carefully guarded package and displayed an admiral's broad pennant, the blue field faded and the four white stars dim with agt».

There was a bit of a tremble in the commandt’r's voice as ho handed the age worn p'ennnut to Admiral Dewey aud said:

“ Admiral, 1 wish to present to you the. first admiral's flag ever broken out in the navy of this Auntry. That grand old ad­miral whose name and memory we all so much revere first hoisted this Hag upon the good ship Ilartforu before New Or­leans, and afterward upon the Franklin, and since it came down from that mast­head it has never been whipped by the wind or worn by the elements. You, the. worthy successor of that great admirul, whose tactics you so successfully follow­ed a short while ago, I deem the proper one for Fnrragut's mantle to fall upon.”

The admiral was so deeply affected that it was a full half minute before he could find words to express his emotion. There was an indication of choking iu his voice when he finally spoke.

“ PH fly it," he said. •'Pll fly it at the masthead— PI! Hy it in the parade—Pll fly it always—and—and when, if ever, I strike my admiral’s tig, this will be the flag I shall strike.”

The admiral’s earnestness of speech and his palpable emotion, deeply impress­ed aU who looked upon the scene. A s he tenderly fondled the flag one could see that his memory had gone back to the dead old years, and perhaps he heard Again the roar o f the batteries that dis­puted Fnrragut's way to Now Orleans. For several miutites he remained silent, busy In memory with the scenes o f the past.

The G o v e r n o r ’* W e lc o m e . tNo more cordiai welcome could be ex­

tended to the admirnl o f the navy than that by Governor Roosevelt yesterday. Admiral Dewey’s greeting as he met the governor at the gangway was fully as sincere, for he hiuhjmown and respected “Fighting Teddy in the days of prepa­ration before the war, when Theodore Roosevelt wns assistant secretary o f the navy.

The governor and his party went down to Toiupkinsville about 1 o’clock iu the yacht Wild Duck. There was enough military display in this party to give the crowd an opportunity to vent some o f its enthusiasm—(ienerul Andrews, adjutant general of the state; General Francis V. Greene, the governor's host; Commander Miller o f the naval militia o f the state, and four o f the naval captains who com­manded ships in Dewey’s fleet in the bat­tle o f Mauila Bay. All wore the full uui- form of their rank. The governor wore civilian’s dress—frock coat, striped trou­sers and silk hat.

The W ild Duck steamed smoothly down the bay, past Governors island, to Bay Ridge and then lay to whi[e lunch­eon was served. Some of the oflicers who had not had time to don their uni­forms before, leaving tbe city made a quick change now. A health to Admiral Pewey was drunk, nnd with all reciting or listening to incidents of the war, both on land and sea, as told by th«j governor nnd the others, the trip to the Olympia was renewed. ,

The sen had become rough since the start, and when thfe W ild Duck’s barge was lowered to take the visitors to the flagship the sailors had a hard time with .the oars. .

The governor made a long stay on the

The letter was mailed Aug, 15 and reach­ed this city Sept. 17. He says, in part: ‘Things over here are not exactly aa they

are painted in the states. I anticipate serious trouble Before we subdue these.na­tives, and If at all it will be with the aid of at least 100,000 troops. The ‘Insurrectos’ aro very strong and not needing a base of supplies, as they live on rice, aud can hold out against our small (at.present) forces for quite awhile. In addition they* are crafty t incredulous and some of them very Intelli-, gent. I notice some of the papers, quoting from letters received from soldiers, say that they (tbe soldiers) are not being treat­ed well. This Is all rot. They are all being treated excellently and they live about as good as they do in the states. Of course some days, when on a ‘hike,’ they don’t get fresh beef, but *lu quarters they are doing fine.”

Counselor Charles E. Cook o f this city, and H. L. Maddox of Bradley Beach are the owners of a patent axle which bids fair to revolutionize the manufacture of vehicle axles thrQUghout the country.

I t Is a detachable, convertible double spindle, one end o f which Is screwed Into the axle, which Is hollow. Should the end In use be broken in any manner all that Is necessary to be done is* to remove the wheel, unscrew the spindle, reverse it and replace the wheel. Should the spindle of the axles

410w In use be broken it would be necessary to remove half the axle, at a cost of not less than f4, whereby a new spindle of the new design could be secured at a cost of about 50 cents.

The axle Is now being tested by several of the leading wagon manufacturers of the country and also several automobile manu­facturers. I t Is considered an ingenious and valuable improvement.

I t is said that active negotiations have been pending for several weeks to prevent a threatened controversy over the estate of Thomas C. Dempsey, who died at his sum­mer home, Oil Asbury avenue, this city, on July 4 last, leaving a fortune estimated 'at $1,000,000.

While Dempsey, who was 85 years old, was in bed three days before his death, he executed his will by the provisions of which the bulk of his fortune goes to his widow, Lillian Loomis Dempsey, whom it appointed executrix.

She Is about 33 years old and was former­ly the companion of one o f his daughters by his first wife.

The barn of Nathan Campbell of Glen- dola, iu which was stored a quantity of nltro-glycerlne and blasting powder, caught fire last night about 8 o’clock.

It was impossible to remove the explosives from the building and the fire had been burning but a short time when a terrific ex­plosion, heard even in this city, demolished' the structure.

Several nearby buildings were damaged and window panes broken, but fortunately no one was injured.

He addB that she has been a "summer cottage resi­dent for f}ve years in this city, paying as much as 1050 for a hoijse, but' tba^ this year she preferred staying at the Grand Avenue hotel; that he has bad checks for large amounts cashed for Mrs. LIthauer at vari­ous times during the past six years. The woman Is a sister to the Stearns Brothers of New York. We might add that the P ress did not Infer that the check was valueless. It merely stated what the dress­maker said about it.

The winter chorus had a successful re­hearsal last night at Cooper’s halt; There was a large attendance of ladles, but the men were probably taking part In the Dewey celebration, as only a very few were present. Bass and tenor voices are greatly needed. Prof. Morgan said there were 100 of each kind in the city if they could only be Induced to take interest- In tliffofiorus. He advised the ladies to do some missionary work in that direction.

“ Song of the Vikings,” a selection w|0l vim,and .dash in It, was sung, and also “ The Miller’s Wooing,” a composition that has to be sung carefully to give It the proper ef­fect. “ How Beautiful Upon tho Moun- tain8r” a classical selection by Stainer, wa3 also rehearsed. The singers entered heart­ily in the work and were praised by Direc­tor Morgan for it. He says if they will faithfully attend rehearsals he will guaran­tee they could go to New York and sing before the most critical audlencos:

It la his intention to form a children’s chorus In connection with the adult chorus. They will hold day rehearsals at an hour which will not Interfere with the schools. As soon as arrangements aro completed they will be announced.

The place o f meeting of the chorus next week will be duly announced In the local papers.

O pposed to One C on tin uous SessionEditor Press:—I have noted with much

concern the announcement of one continu­ous session just inaugurated in our high school. It seems that so important a mat­ter ought to engage the careful thought and attention of every parent, not to say overy citizen also. As a parent, a guardian of tho health of my children, and deeply interest­ed in whatever touches the well-being of every child, I feel obliged to utter my pro­test against such a system.

My first objection Is suggested , in your editorial comments on thequestlon, namely, the Inconvenience In tho home whore dinner must be served at 12 o’clock for oue portion of the family and again at 1 o’clock or later for the high acUooF children. In the well ordered home this may be a very important feature, causing an unpleasant and unnec­essary interruption to its regularity and im­posing much additional burden upou tho housekeeper or involving tho ever present “servant girl problem.”

But there is also a more serious objection. It Is concedod that the prevalence o f ner­vous disorders among tho human family Is largely and dangerously on tho* Increase. Wo are living at “high pressure.” The mental and nervous forces are overworked. It Is hurry and hustle everywhere in the race of life. Health is broken, life Is short­ened, and men fall dead In the midst of their activity and usefulness because an outraged nature has sent In Its account for settlement. Even among our children aud youth this element of danger exists to an alarming degree. It Is exceedingly Impor­tant, therefore, that every educational method shall receive careful consideration as to its possible effect upon the physical welfare of the child. The physical llfo muBt be permitted to develop or mental accom­plishment can avail but Utile.

I have great respect for the Judgment of the men o f larger experience than myself In such matters, in the person of our supertn- jtendent of public schools, and those who compose our board of education, but I be­lieve a serious and irreparable injury will be lnftlcted upon our children by the contin­uance of this ono session plau. I believe It detrimental to the health of any child under 10 years of age to he confined within tho four walls of any school building for a con­tinuous session of four and onc-half hours’ duration. Our children need the outdoor airing, freedom, recreation and diversion frem study which the noon hour permits and which no changing of study plans or school hour discipline, however indulgent, can supply. It has been shown that tho mind of the average child ot 12 years of age cannot be applied to continuous study longer than 35 minutes without mental fa­tigue. How then, can we conscientiously require our childreu from 13 to 16 years of age, with five or six hard, solid studies to master, to apply themselves so far In excess of that.time?

The great majority aro not those of sttong physique and robust health who could adequately supply tho necessary en­ergy for such a continuous strain. Many children have no appetlto for the early morning meal, and th^ quantity of nourish­ment they force themselves to take at breakfast Is insufficient for the work at hand and tbe length of time until the din­ner hour. Add to this the uninviting con­dition of the average warmed-over dinner and the results are manifest. The force oC this objection Is not removed by the light lunch or “sandwich” feature of this new plan, because “ regularity ia the price of health” In diet as well as other ftWblts. Thus the noon hour Is deemed of Infinitely greater value in promoting the physical and mental development of our children than the same longth of time lator In the day, as afforded by the one session plan.

I trust the old two session plan will speed­ily be resumed. W i l l i a m M. P a w l e y .

Special Dispatches to The Dally Press.London, Friday. — Kruger’s reply to

Chamberlain’s last note was received and laid before tho cabinet at Its meeting which was held at 1 o’clock today. In his reply Kruger adheres strictly to the terms or tho Loiidon convention and asks nothing more. Tho question of the suzerainty is unmen­tioned .

K ru g e r S a y s W a r is F o rc e d on H im .The Times in its second edition prints an

Interview with Kruger in which the Boer president declares lie has done all possible to preserve peace, but says Cliamberlaln de­liberately broke the thread of the negotia­tion and war Is forced on him. The Out- landers, Kruger claims, never wanted fran­chise- Kruger Bays there is no possibility ot peace unless England does something to make It possible.

The cabinet will wait till full reply from Kruger is received, as the present reply Is incomplete. Meanwhile the cabinet has ad­journed.

sued here today advising the course to be taken in case martial law should be pro- clsgmed. It says the Outlanders may leave or remain I f they agree to keep the peace. The sale of liquors hfis been stopped. All gold will be deposited with the government for safekeeping and a system of passports will be inaugurated.

Robertson, the Englishman arrested on the charge of treason, has been remanded to prison on this charge.

F e v e r ish M ilita ry A ctiv ity .Cape Town, Friday.—British troops have

occupied the entrenched hill west of Glen­coe, Natal. Detachments have been sent to guard the bridges over the Buffalo river, which forms part of the,boundary between Natal and Transvaal. On all sides here there is feverish military activity, and gar­risons have been sent to the various towns in Cape Colony where there are stongly dis­affected Dutch populations.

P lan fo r So u th A fr ic a n R e p u b lic ?The British authorities have been Inform­

ed of a plan formulated by the Transvaaj and leading Capo Dutch colonies by which It is believed a well matured scheme is on foot to proclaim a South Arrican republic of all the territory south o f the Zambesi as soon as hostilities begin. A new general government will probably then be estab­lished, with either Kruger of Steyn as pres* Ident. Sir Alfred Milner has engaged agents to run down the alleged conspiracy In the colonies, and Wholesale arrests will likely follow.

E n g la n d ’s C ru sh in g D em ands.London, Friday.—It Is believed tho fol­

lowing crushing demands of the Transvaal will be decided upou at today’s cabinet meeting: Indemnity of Great Britain for cost of sending troops to South Africa; dis­mantling, Boer^forts; suppression of Lloyd’s legation in Europe; Independence of the judiciary, equality of the English and Dutch language In the volksraad and com­plete admission of the British, suzerainty. The feeling here Is that nothing short o f a miracle will avert war. Late extras aro filled with despatches from South Africa of Boers rushing troops to the frontier, their planse o f defense being carried out to tho utmost detail. Feeling Is intense in the Transvaal and a spark will set off the mine. England’s last domand comes as a crushing blow to the peace advocates of England. I f sent it will provoke immediate hostilities. It is feared that more rumors o f the de­mands, when received In Pretoria aud Jo­hannesburg, will set the Boer forces iu motion.

London, Sept. 29.—A dispatch to The Daily Mail from Charles Town says:

“ Comnpandeering is proceeding in the Wnkkerstroom district and probably throughout 'the Transvaal. Tw o thou­sand burghers are assembled at Wakker- atroom, which is eight miles from the Natal border and 11 from Laing’s Nek. Twelve hundred have been ordered to Samlspait. K1 miles west of the Natal border, where they will meet Ornnge Free State artillery, which has been lyipg low iu this neighborhood for a fort­night.”

The Dnily News, which appeals to the government to await President Kruger’s reply be fort*- sending a second dispatch..says:

" If . as has been* asserted on behalf of the Transvaal, all trouble would have been avoided had .Mr. Chamberlain’s dis­patch last Friday said ‘convention’ in­stead o f ' ‘conventions,’ we do not believe a British cabinet would deeliue to clear the matter up. It is for President Kru­ger to speak, if it is indeed only a matter o f a consonant, for we are convinced that it is in his power to get the consonant cut off.”

The Pretoria correspondent o f The Daily Telegraph says:

“ The Transvaal executive is absorbed in war preparations. Many Boers op­pose aggressive action on religious grounds.

“ There have been local thunderstorms and rains at Johannesburg and iu various •parts o f the .Orange Free State.”

The Odessa correspondent o f The Standard telegraphs a rumor that Ger­many recently suggested to Russia the advisability o f mediation between Great 'Britain and the Transvaal nnd that Rus­sia declined to have any thing to do with the matter.

Missouri sails today for Manila. She is under command of Captain McCaul and is lying at present in Brooklyn. The Mis­souri is scheduled to take part in the naval parade in honor of Admiral Dewey, and the probabilities are that she .will join the fleet at quarantine and after sailing a short distance iu the parade will turn about and start on her long journey. The -Missouri has ■ on board about 1 r>0 soldiers o f tbe hospital corps, who will be transferred at Manila. She has a large quantity of supplies also aud during the past month or two has under­gone the most extensive repairs in order to afford proper accommodation for the sick soldiers whom, she will bring back from Manila by way of San Francisco.

The contrast between the linos of the Shamrock and the Colum*. bin is very marked. In the former one can see a big. bulky craft dependent upon a greater spread of canvas for superiori­ty iu speed, while the latter has the thor­oughbred appearance that comes with’ diner lines and a more sleuder hull.

Three years ago a young man waa brought into the Boston police court on a charge o f assault with intent to rob, •was convicted and sentenced to the state reform atory at Concord,

I t was clearly shown that this was an aggravated case and that the prisoner, although only u little over 20 years old, was a vicious nnd apparently hopeless character*.

He had the reputation o f being con­tinually embroiled in quarrels, had been arrested more than once and had once, at least, served time.

The beginning o f his life at the re­form atory was equally discouraging. H e was stubborn, rebellious and always ready to fight. I t was soon necessary to discipline him.

In the allotment o f classes fo r the in­dustrial training -vyhich all o f the in* mates o f the institution have he went to work w ith the men studying engrav­ing, says the Philadelphia Press.

I t was soon seen that he had an apt­ness fo r this work. His designs had truer lines and were more artistic than those o f the other men.

The room In which the engravers worked is^ e ry large, and in one cornez a few boys had done crude worlt in clay modeling. One day this man took up a lump o f w et clay. Almost o f itse lf it took shape in his fingers.

n e was encouraged to continue?and soon sought the opportunity to do so.

I t took only a few days to show that he had remarkable talent as a modeler, and he was allowed to devote a ll o f his time fo r industrial work to this. H is success was astonishing and his designs grew more and more artistic and am­bitious.

The superintendent o f the reforma­tory, Mr. Joseph F . Scott, arranged to

Amos L. Allen has been nominated for congress by the Republicans o f the FJrst Mnine district. In his speech of accept­ance he came out squarely in favor of supporting the president in the prosecu­tion o f the war in the Philippines. Mr. Allen formerly was private secretary to Hon. Thomas B. Reed.

Tw o persons lost their lives, three will probably die, and numerous others were seriously injured in a collision at Man-, hattan crossing, Pnrkvi’Hc, Brooklyn. An oil train, running from Manhattan Bench to Bay Ridge, ran into a trolley cur o f thte Brooklyn Heights Street Railway company.

have one o f the most expert modelers in Boston come to Concord several times to give him Instruction in those mechan­ical details which can be acquired only by practice.

Meanwhile the developments o f the man’s moral nature kept pace w ith the artistic.

I t was not an easy task, for the old Instincts were strong. I t was as easy as ever for his old passions to flame up, and, influenced by them, his first im­pulse was to rebel and fight.

Then, almost as i f painted on a can­vas, coult} be seen the progress o f the struggle going on in his mind as he said to himself: “ Now, i f I le t m yself go, In word or deed, I shall be dis­ciplined, and that means that my time fo r this work w ill be shortened o r taken away altogether.”

And in the end the art nature would win.

His first life-size figure was a head o f the Madonna. When that was fin­ished he took as a model oife o f the boys in the same shop with himself just as he worked, in Inmate’s cap and clothes.

His success in reproducing a likeness from life was phenomenal, and tbe life- size cast made from his model now stands in the office o f the institution.

This head was very nearly completed when word came from the commission­ers to the superintendent that this man’s time was completed, and he was to be discharged the next day.

Several months before that time a let­ter had come to the superintendent from an entire stranger in a certain larjre city, not Boston, making inquiry about this boy.

The w riter was the proprietor o f one o f the largest carving establishments in this country. Correspondence with him elicited the information that a lady go­ing to Concord some time before, like so many tourists in that historic town, had, like many others, visited the re­form atory as one of the-places o f In­terest.

She had seen the young man at hla work and had made Inquiry in regard to him. Among her acquaintances was this man who employed many carvers and Bought for artiata.

She told him of the boy in the Massa­chusetts reformatory, and he now wrote that as soon as the prisoner was - released he stood ready to give him a place nt two dollars a day, with the op­portunity to study a part of the time In one of tl e best art schools ln the coun<* try. The discharged prisoner went di­rectly Into that shop.and has been there for bIx months, a successful workman and a hard and conscientious student, jvhose prospects are apparently of the brightest.

FASHIONS OF THE SEASON.

The new fring-es this season are very attractive. They vary In w idth from one to twelve inches, and, a ^ made o f Bilk, bead8 or chenille, separately or combined.

The nasturtium shades are beau­tifu lly copied this auturrin season in Lyons woven silk velvets and double- faced satin ribbons used in elegant mll- linfery. .

Thus fa r most o f the new sk irt mod­els, both fo r u tility and demi-dress uses, are absolutely nntrlmmed, unless the rows o f silk niachine-stitch4ng about the hem can be called trimming.

Scotch tweeds are among the first fabrics the salesmen show customers who are look ing for serviceable fa ll dress goods. These stylish materials are in varied qualities an^ new attrac­tive color blendings, 'and they occupy at present a prominent place on the counters o f all first-class. dry-goods houses.

The popularity of velvet fo r gowns, combinations, , underskirts and wraps is already asRured. This is welcome news, for it Is a material that is usu­a lly becoming. Manufacturers, follow- ingfthe general trend o f producing fab- rlca that are flexible and so ft to the touch, have reduced the weight o f vel­vet goods almost one-half; therefore the only serious objection to this tex­tile is now removed.

WAGES IN ENGLAND.

In London above the age o f 40 the wages o f general servants,cooks, nurses and ladles’ maids all drop; those o f parlor and house maids rise.

The housekeeper in the provinces gets more, usually $2G0 a year. In Scot­land wages are higher and in Ireland much lower, ranging from $50 to $85 a year.

The servants o f Great Britain receive far smaller wages than their fellows in this country. The average o f wages ia highest in London, but is lowered by the number o f young maidservants em­ployed wrho are inefficient and cheap.

The average yearly wage paid a Lon­don servant, classing all departments o f work together, Is the surprisingly small sum of $88.50, or $1,70 a week. The average kitchen maid gets $80 a year and the scullery maid, $65; general servant, $70; housemaid, $56; nurije, $105r parlor maid, $110; laundry maii^, $13$*; cook, $105; ladles’ maid, $140; cook-housekeeper, $205; ' housekeeper, $170.

•Henry Clay’ s Mother aa the Head of a Kentucky Inn.

i Nothing, probably, is more interests Jing to the student o f h istory than to ^trace the obscure causes .which have led to great events. Comparatively lew people nqw living know that the mother jof Henry Clay once “ kept tavern’ ' in Versailles, Ky., aud fewer still that had ih is not been the case Clay probably would not Jiave cot$$ to Kentucky at -all. What a change this m ight have been in American history I H ow im­portant, then, was the journey that Henry Watkins and his w ife , Elizabeth Clay Watkins, made through the w il­derness 100 yearB ago!

Th^ Watkins fam ily arrived in Ver­sa illes about the close of the eighteenth century, bringing w ith them quite a retinue of Blaves. I t may* be said here that there is little foundation fo r the popular idea that Henry Clay’s boyhood was spent in an atmosphere o f poverty, obscurity and absolute want. The mother o f the “ M ill Boy o f the Slashes,' Elizabeth Hudson, was a .member o f a wealthy Virginia fam ily, and in wed­ding Rev. John Clay, a fter whose death she married Henry Watkins, she mar

ried into a fam ily o f equal prominence w ith her own. The Clays and Hudsons, according to local traditions, lived in the rather gorgeous style o f the V ir­ginia gentry, and i f Rev. John Clay was poor, it was no doubt due to the devas­tation wrought by the revolutionary 'war. - I t is extremely unlikely that his .poverty could have been so great as the story books would have one believe, j Henry Clay, says the Chicago Trib- une, did not accompany his mother and 'Stepfather to Kentucky, but remained In Richmond, as deputy in the clerk ’s office, and engaged in prosecuting his legal Btudies. The Watkinses shortly

"took charge o f the only hostelry in Ver-

sallies, and “ Watkins’ Tavern" became famous in. the surrounding country. They had a two-story stone house built a t Main street and Court square by H enry Metcalfe, at that time a stone­mason and afterwards governor o f Ken­tucky.

Such places were a Bort o f political headquarters and a rendezvous fo r the discussion o f the news o f the day, at a time when news traveled only by stage fcoach. The Marshalls, the Crittendens, th<j Blackburns, the Clays, the Wat­kinses nnd other proiuent m(?n no doubt planned campaigns a t “ Watkins’ Tav­ern,” and there Gen. Lafayette was en­tertained in 1826.

Mrs. Clay-Watkins was an unusual­ly ' attractive woman. W hile not a beauty, she was comely, w ith dark hair and eyes and rosy cheeks. Her man­ners were engaging and she was a most entertaining conversationalist. She had a w ell rounded and shapely figure, and possessed great vigor o f mind an{l body. Her first husband, Rev. John Clay, evidently realized fu lly his w ife ’s charms,, for, in making his w ill, he more than once gave directions “ In case m y beloved w ife should intermarry be­tw ixt this and then.*’ And sure enough, a t 33, the mother o f nine children, she man-led Mr. Henry Watkins, “ an ele­gant nnd accomplished gentleman” of 23, for whom she afterwards bore seven children.

She Ib reputed to have been a noble woman, much reverenced by those who knew her well, aud with striking indi­viduality and an imperious will.

Henry Clay’s visits to hia mother a fter her removal to Kentucky were as regular ns the seasonB. He spent a con­siderable part o f every summer in Yer- sailles, and was a fam iliar figure on the Btreets o f the village. He removed to Kentucky nn4 located Iu Lexington In 1797. A fte r the death o f hia mother he was frequently here to visit his step­sister, Mrs. Blackburn.

As a young man Henry Clay was much esteemed in thi£ community, many o f ,the friends o f his youth becoming his stanch supporters when he hdd risen to exalted eminence as a statesman.

About the 'year 1815 the Watkinse# gave up their tavern in Versailles and settled upon a farm, whioh they owned, three miles south of town. There Mrs. Watkins died in 1829 at the age o f 80 years. Her remains were buried In a country grnyeyard close by, and rested there until 1851, when they were re­moved to Lexington by her son Henry.

The mountaineer o f Kentucky, West Virginia and southward Is deficient in the sense o f humor. He takes life se­riously, and, it may be said to his d is­credit, he takes it frequently, indeed, his widest reputation is as a shooter. I t is not surprising to tbe outsider who is acquainted w ith life and its environ­ments throughout the entire mountain Bection that the inhabitant is o f som­ber temperament. Still there are indi­vidual inetaiKiea_of a sense o f humor as bright ns one would find in Ireland'in a day’s travel. On one occasion a Ken­tucky school-teacher proved the rule. Being interested in education, I never saw a country schoolhouse in operation during my wanderings through half a dozen coinrulW that I did not have a talk withrfEe teacher, and I invariably introduced m yself by saying: “ Well, vou are teaching the young idea how to shoot, are you?” I had asked it dozt- ens and dozens o f time©, and always re­ceived a serious reply in the affirmative. That is to say, I always did w ith one ex­ception. The exception was a young chap o f about 20, with the making o f a popular congressman in his drawling speech and his good-natured shrewd-

*ne88.“ No,” he said, “ I ’m tiot. I don’t have

to. They’re born that way. What I ’m try ing to teach tliem is how not to shoot.”

Another time it was a school-teacher, but o f a different type, a kind o f a pa the tic humorist. I had ridden 20 miles along the banks o f the Cumberland pretty, shaded stream, by the way, and hadn’t seen a fisherman, and by the time I met this man I had become cu­rious, as w ell as tired, fo r the road was a hard one to travel.

“ W h y d o n ’ t s o m e b o d y fish in th is B trea m ?” I aBked, w i t h o u t m u ch p r e ­lim in a r y .

“A in ’t any fish,” was the laconic re- ply.

“ Why not?” I asked, In surprise.The man looked at me and my turn­

out with a real humorist’s smile.“ I f you could g it out o f this coun­

try,” he said, w ith a cross between n twinkle and a tear in his eye, “ as easy as a. fish can, would you be here?*'—• Washington Star.

Just aa Boon as a woman gets what is called an uncertain age she begins to think about wearing black. I f she w ill wear it, why does she not do bo when her cheeks are red, her skin white and no traces o f wrinkles betray life ’s dis­cipline upon her face? This Is not a diatribe against wrinkles. In them­selves they give much more expression than a face can ever have before b it­ter experience carves them there. But they should be softened, not emphasized. Gray-haired women with rosy cheeks— and there are inany o f them—look well In black. Even then there should be a touch of white about It. Ruffles at neck and wrist, or a touch of lace, silk or satin on the front o f the bodice. And when one is stout black has undoubt­ed advantages,, but not unrelieved black. Artistic creations in black, Buch as one can get from high-priced modistes, are hardly included in the denunciation against black, un­wrinkled' un trimmed and severe, as It is adopted by the woman wh<\ puts It on as the famous beauty and blue stock­ing. Mme. de Genlia took o ff rouge when she was 30. I f rouge is ever permissible, certainly it is when ono has reached an age when the color be­gins to, fade. Yet that was the time the Indy who was considered so shrewd elected to give it up. And just when she begins to grow a b it sallow is the time the unwise woman turns from colors, some o f which m ight hide time’s rav­ages. Sallow women or women with dark eking had better take to blazing Bcarlet as a perpetual dress rather than to black, which they very often affect, alleging that nothing makes them beautiful. Perhaps not. But nothing is further removed from beautiful on them than this same somber black.— Washington Star.

FEW o f us still lingered in the smok­ing-room at Fresh ford Friars, Digby,

__ Jack Fairholme and I hanging back after the rest had- gone to bed. It was my first visit, and I had arrived late that clay. There was a large party iu the house, but I did not know haJf of them.

When at last we broke up, Jack Fairholme said: “ I'll take you by a short cut. I know my way about; I ’ve been coming here so often/'

With implicit faith in his knowledge of the country,- we followed our leader across an open space, where a whiff of night air ex­tinguished all our candles. In at a side door, up and down two flights of stairs, in and out of several corridors, till at last Jack paused before a closed door.

“ Confound it—no matches!”“ Here, I haVe,” said Jack.The room, now lighted up, looked strange­

ly unfamiliar. It was not the room where I had dressed for dinner. There were none of my belongings'about. The dressing table and its mirrors were draped in lace and pink ribbons; ther were several telltale articles to be seen—a pair of silver-backed hair brushes, a hand glass in’ silver frame, a number of trinkets, bracelet, rings and brooches, an ivory box or two, and there— not a doubt of it, lay a thick coil of reddish brown hair.

Jack, who was with me at the dressing table; did not wait. He blew out the can dies and ran out, I at his heels, only to find the door shut in my face, no doubt by Jack to spite me, for I still heard him laughing on the far side.

I was caught in a trap. Before I could find the door knob and escape from the room L heard a movement in the direction of the L%jc1 ; a short pause of stillness, then the swish of some soft silken wrap and the clop-clop of loose Blinpers on the floor.

I had only one chance, one hope—that I might slip out beforo Bhe discovered me. But this was gone next moment, for while I stood there holding my breath she ran up against me. There was a gasp, a half scream, and then Bhe upbraided me by name.

Immediately, however, she opened the door for me, and in a few short seconds the light from the passage showed me a tall figure in light, loose drapery; then I turned and fled. Fled, but not so fast that 1 quite escaped' a blow from some missile thrown after me, and it must have been by'her.

Something certainly struck me on tb$ back, an^*ns I stooped to pick it up I found a tiny bedroom slipper of pale blue silk, embroidered in seed peUrls. I seized it, accepting it as an omen of good luck, as a token of friendliness, perhaps of forgiveness. Why else had she thrown it after me?

It was not the only relic of that night't escapade. When by and by I got back to my own room, not without a long search, and emptied the pockets of my smoking

jacket, I found that I had also carried off the coil of reddish brown hair.

There was to be a big “ shoot” next day, and we men all came down early. I caught Fairholme alone and was about to give him a bit of my mind, when he broke in with:

"M y word, Reggy, but you’re in luck. Don’t be shirty. There never was such a game. Do you know who it was last night? I set my mother’s maid to find out. I ’ll tell you.”

.“ Don’t.”“ Tommy rot. Why, it was Lady Fellowes.

She'B worth piles. Fat, fair and 40. No in­cumbrances, only a niece. Ask le r to marry you—the aunt, not the niece. I f she won't come to me; I ’ll make her/’

“ Drop it, Fairholme, or I must drop your acquaintance.”

A ll the romance faded out of the incident when I looked at Lady Fellowes. This woman—fat, middle-aged, posse, the hero­ine of the previous night’s adventure 1

Lady Fellowes did not Beem to be much affected by what had happened. She did not look my way, but read h<fr Tetters, ate her breakfast composedly, and behaved in a most discreet and matter-of-fact fabhion.

Not bo her niece, an exceedingly pretty girl, whose brown eyes began at once to roam rodnd the table, and, I eoou caught them resting on me. A t first with a look of amusement, I tlicnight, checked instantly, then with a vivid flush and a frown aa she dropped them demurely. Her aunt, of course, had told her.

Lord Freshford summoned the shooting party to start, and for the rest of that day- I was engaged in tho coverts,

It was not until we were assembled in the drawing-room that I saw iliss Fellowes, and then I went up boldly to Lady Fresh ford and asked her to send us in together.

When we had settled down into our seats, I went on with the usual commonplaces. Still no reply. Indeed, Bhe turned her back on me and began talking with great anima­tion to the man on the other side. It was the clearest case of cut, *nd. I began to feel like a fool.

She continued obstinately dumb, and alto­gether ignored my existence. It was so marked that I saw Lady Freshford look her way with a half distressed, half amused glance, and nod towards me, as though reminding her of treatment that amounted to positive discourtesy.

Miss Fellowes responded to the appeal, but strangely. She did not speak, only blushed deeply, a blush that crimsoned even her neck and shoulders.

I was Beized with a sudden inspiration. “ Miss Fellowes.” No answer. “ Miss

Fellowes.” No answer. “ Pray listen, even if you will not speak. I believe I have some o f your property. I should like to restore it.”

“ You would not be so base, so ungentle- manlike—” ^“Not the slipper,” I went on calmly, tak­

ing for granted I was right in my line. “ I Bhall keep that as a souvenir, it is treasure troVe. But the hair, you will want that at once. I cannot think how you got on with­out it all this time.”

“ O, Capt. Phayre! now can you—why should you think—what have I done ,to deserve this?” She a/most gasped for breath as she spoke, angf the tears were near her fine eyes.

“ Why do you cut me? Do I deserve that? You know it was not my fault originally. Last night you accepted my apologies—”

“ Copt. Phayre, you are really too terrible. That is not my false hair.”

“ But it was in your room?”“ That was not my room. -That was

auntie’s room. She is a bad sleeper, and sometimes likes to change her bed. So last night Bhe took mine and I hers/'

“ So it’s hers—the hair, I mean?”“H—shl She may hear; she wquld never

forgive us.” L“ Doesn't she know?”“ Nothing, not a syllable. I hope she

never may. If, if—you can only keep those horrid companions of yours quiet, I believe I can trust you ?”

“ That you can. But the slipper, eh? It ’s yours,, of course? Why did you throw it?”

“ I ’m not sure,” she said, shyly., “ An im­pulse, perhaps I hated you.” a. “ Not now, surely?”. And in i\ie end she became Mrs. Phayre.—

THE FOREIGNER IN JAPAN.

One o f the most interesting, ques­tion in consideration o f present Japan Is the changed status of the foreigner. To be a European or*an American .in Japan twenty, ten, or even five, years ago was to be a man of power and in­fluence. When foreigners were first ad­m itted to the em pire-the Japanese, one o f the shrewdest, most far-sight­ed peoples o f the World, adopted their methods and their religion, hired them as teachers, engineers and officers. Now, according to “ Japan in Transition,’ ’ the firs^ important book dealing entirely with the new Japan, since Jltey have learned all the foreigners can teach them in science, literature, art, war, commerce, manufacturing, in short, in all enterprises, they are relegating their instructors to tbe background with the cry “ Japan for I he .Japanese.” I t was thought at one time that Japan would in time breonu* a Christian nation. The author o f Japan in Transition shows that almn?1 nil who accepted Christian­ity did so lor the sake o f the instruc­tion which the missionaries alone could give. Ill the army and navy the same state o f affairs exists. English and German oflicers who fought for Japan throughout the China war* were dis­charged for the reason that the mili­tary schools whieh were founded through their efforts have developed first-class oflicers. Everywhere the pol­icy of discharging^the foreigner as soon as possible has been adopted, and In a few years a foreigner in any kind of an official capacity w ill be the ex­ception. A t present tlie ambassadors of the powers are practically the only foreigners who command and real re­spect.

“ A funny thing happened to me when I had charge of our branch office,” said a New Orleans cotton man, according to the Times-Democrat o f that city. “ Our quarters were on the second floor o f a three-story building and the rooms above were rented by a very pleasant foreign-looking chap who passed as a chemist, I used to be detained a t my desk quite late at night and had my curiosity excited by a singular noise in the laboratory overhead. I t was a mo­notonous click-clack, like a heavy ma­chine. One day I met the chemist on the stairs and asked him what he was doing that made such a racket. ‘Oh, I ’m making silver dollars up there,’ he said, laughing, and passed on. One night about a week later a city detective with whom I had struck up an acquaintance strolled in fo r a chat and a smoke. ‘What’s that queer noise up there?’ he asked, presently, as the usual cliek- clacking started. ‘Oh, nothing much,’ I replied. ‘ I t ’s a friend of mine making silver dollars.’ ‘Ha, ha P laughed the de­tective. ‘Well, he’s in a first-rate busi­ness. Wonder if he wants a partner?* Exactly two days later the agreeable foreign-looking gentleman skipped out and when the landlord broke open his door, lo and behold!, there was as neat a little counterfeiting plant as you ever laid eyes on. The clicking came from a machine fo r ‘reeding’ the coins. The detective was mad as blazes, butcouldn’t help it. truth,”

A bewhiskered individual walked into the post office department the other day. He seemed to have & very clear idea of what he wanted, but he didn't know how to get at it. He went into one o f the rooms and stepped up in front o f a desk, says the Washington Post.

*‘I want to see Mr, Gresham,” he an­nounced to one o f the young lady clerks.

‘Mr. Gresham!” she exclaimed; “ I don’ t know him.”

‘Walter Q. Gresham,” insisted the man with the whiskers. “ I want the postmaster general.”

‘Why, Mr. Smith is postmaster gen­eral,” answered the clerk.

‘Smith?” queried the visitor. “ The name sounds kinder familiar, but I reckon I don’ t know him. They’se a whole pack o’ Smiths in this country, an’ they ain’ t no kin, neither, Whar’s Mr. Gresham? Been fired?”

‘He’s dead,” answered the young lady, solemnly. “ He was secretary of state a fter he left here,”

The old fellow never batted his eyes at the statement. He simply said “ Uh- huh,” and walked out, w hile those in the office wondered if he was not related to Rip Van Winkle.

The weather was cold and there was a blazing fire. H e no more saw the* harm of toasting his unshod feet than his ungloved hands before it. Oom Paul had principles and stood hy them. Whenever his eye caught a lady in a low dress he grunted and turned away his head. He was sent an order to the state box at the opep, and) availed himself o f it. .But the ballet so horrified him that he would not stay to see it out. He wondered why God’s vengeance did not overtake Paris,”

T SUPI dow 1 said

SUPPOSE you want me ' to look dowdy as an old Guy Fawkes, then!'

_ said Letty Darrell, pettishly, to her youug husband, as they sat over their early breakfast table. “ You're always grumbling i f I lay out a shilling to make myself look nice.”

“ Nay, nay, dear, don't say that,” replied her husband. “ You Iwjow quite well I grudge you nothing in reason, and If I could afford it yo.p should have 50 blue dresses but you spend nearly all our ready money at Tape & Tabouret's, and an income of £150 a year won’t stand that, you know.”

“ Oh, lecture me weli, pray do!” retorted Letty, viciously cracking an egg. “ I didn't know I ’d married a ‘screw’ and a Methodist preacher both in one.”

“ For the first time in all the years since we married,” continued the husband, “ we owe both iJiTCehcr and baker. Our landlord is pressing for money, and two of our lodgers are in arrears. But there, I can't wait to ar­gue the matter with you. Ilere’a the omni­bus.”

And for the first time since their marriage he departed to the city bank where he was engaged without giving his wife a farewell kiss.

Letty silently watched the heavily laden omnibus, bound citywards, until it was out of sight. Then lier heart sank.

“ He never kissed me!” she sobbed; “ and I do love him so!”

Then she sat down and dried her eyes, poor, loving but willful young wife.

“ I ’ll just make him a nice little ‘ toad-in- the-hole’ for his tea dinner,” she thought; “ and as to that horrid blue dress that has caused all this bother, why, I ’ ll let Mrs. Thatcher have it. She offered to give 28 s e l­lings for it, so I shall only lose two, and dear Frank will be pleased, and then—anti then—”

After her husband wns gone she sat Btill for some little time pondering over tbe events of the morning.1 A t last a bright idea struck her.

" I 'l l just run round and see Mrs. Thatcher about that unlucky blue dress,” she thought.

No sooner thought than done. Mrs. Dar­rell arrayed herself in a costume which, however becoming, was, it must be candidly admitted, fax too expensive for the wife of a Bimple bank clerk, and, leaving word with Sally where she was going, set off to pay her-visit.

The important affair of the blue dress was settled to the satisfaction of both parties. Letty had never worn it, bo Mrs. Thatcher considered she had saved two shillings, and Letty was equally .glad to lose two in order to get back the rest of the purchase money.

With the 28 Bhillings snugly in her porte- monnaie and with a lighter heart she arrived at her own door.

But how great was her consternation when Sally opened it to find that dusty but faith­ful and hard-working handmaiden in state of much excitment, and wiping away the tears from her red cheeks with her grimy apron.

“ Why, SaJly, what ,on earth—” began Letty. -

But Sally interrupted her.“ Oh, if you please, ma’am, here’s such a

horrid man come into tho kitchen and sat down and made himself at home, and says he won’t go till he's seen master.”

“ Impertinent wretch!” cried Letty, hotly, “Oh, yes, ma’am, and he’s called for bread

and cheese and beer, and says as we're bound to give it him.”

“ Theman must be mad!” ejaculated Letty. “N—o, please, ma’am, I don’t think h<

tha<s” replied Sally. .“ I—I think there’s summat wrong, ma'am.”

“ I think so, too,‘\fideed,” said ketty, indig­nantly, “ when people walk into my kitchen and call for refreshments whether I invite them or not. I don’t keep a public house,”

And into the kitchen she walked, followed by Sally.

There sat a stout, red-faced man of about 50, eating bread and cheese and drinking beer out of a jug as if he had fasted for a fortnight.

“Well, I ’m sure!” exclaimed Letty, com­pletely aback, “ and who may you be, if you please?”

“ I ’m Sol Woolge,” said the man, continu­ing his feast; “ that’s who I am.”

“ And who might Sol Woolge be?” said Letty, scornfully. *

“ I'm the man in possession,” he said. “ I thought you mig'htn’t like it mentioned be­fore the servant, miss.”

“ ‘Miss!’ ” said tbe young wife, drawing herself up, “ I am Mrs. Darrelll’'

“ Beg pardon, ma’am. Of course, I didn't know the hage of the party. Well, I ’m put in by Mr. Sharp, the landlord, for two-quar- ters’ rent. I'm |he broker’s man.”

That night the young couple sat long over their meal, which it must be conceded was not a particularly cheerful one. But the tea did Letty good, Rnd Darrell put the best face he could on their present trouble, in order to sustain as much as possible the spirits of his self-reproaching wife.

At last the meal, such as it was, was con­cluded, and Letty had just risen to ring the bell for the removal of the tea things when the postman’s knock resounded through the house.

“ A letter from father, perhaps,” said the young wife drearily, for she knew how hop< less it was to expect aid from that quarter.

SaJly entered with the letter—a large, for- mal-looking blue document, which Darrell took mechanicaliy.

“ I do not know the writing,” he said; “ it looks like a lawyer’s letter/ Can there be more trouble in store for us?”

Letty clasped her hands convulsively to­gether, while her husband opened the letter.

“ Oh, Letty, dearest, listen!”And he read:Bedford Row, March 4, 1895.—Sir: Wo

have to acquaint you with tho decease of your maternal uncle,* our client, Joseph Stuart, of Barbados. His will has been since duly proved by the executors.

Our client's wflfl pave us instructions, on tho realization of his personal estate, to hand over to you the sum of £500 out of the proceeds of the su.le of certain, consols by his executors.

That sum having been placed In our hands by those gentlemen, we shall have pleasure In handing over the same to you If you will favor us with a call at our o f­fice on Thursday next, the 6th Inst., be­tween the hours of ten a. m. and four p. m. We are, sir, your obedient servants,.

GOLDSTRAW & STQCK.'O Frank, Frank! how providential/’ ex­

claimed Letty. - “Can such good fortune be true?” . ,

“ Yes, dear, it is certainly trae. I ’m sorry for my uncle, though. But still, as I never eaw him, I cannot be~ expected to grieve much or to shed crocodile tears at his de cease. And now I ’ll just go and speak to the broker’s man; nnd tljen i ’ll round to Mr. Sharp at once.” ‘

Of course, Mr. Sharp (who had been indul­gent, but really wanted hia money) was ap­peased by the sight of Messrs. Goldstraw & Stock’s letter, and the broker’s man was withdrawn that very night.

The severe lesson was not lost upon Letty, who, after all7~\«as a true-hearted, estimable little woman, saving for her one fault—ovtr love for dress.—London Chatter.

I>ew<*y’ » T o n n t to R o o s e v e l t .Refnre the governor and his party de­

parted the admiral brought out refresh­ments, aud he proposed a toast to tlie governor, saying, “ 1 want to propose the health o f the man who had jnore to do with making me admiral than any other man iu the I'nited Stsjtes, (Jovornor Hoosevelt.”

“ l ie has told us that thousands of limes,” remarked Captain Lamberton.

Governor Roosevelt said the admiral himself had something to do with it.

“ Well, governor, you are the man who peut me to Manila,” repeated the admi­ral. ‘ i 'v e been waiting for your visit here. You are the only man I ’ ve turned th£ crew out for.”

AfTer leaving the Olympia the governor called upon Admiral Sampson and re­mained a half hour with him in his cab­in. The jaekies on the tlagship were lined up to greet, the governor, and as the launch departed the New York’s guns saluted, while the Hag at her fore dipped.

A fter visiting the naval reserves'on the New Hampshire Governor Roosevelt re­turned to the Union. League club for din­ner.

S eem ** In th e H a r b o r .The appearance of New York harbor

last night could best be compared to an immense circle o f intense light, with the warships oft* Totupkinsville as the hub from which the brilliancy radiated. Tbe bay has never before had as brilliant or picturesque display of continuous illumi­nation as that seen last night, nor has the interest manifested by the shore dwellers been more manifest. The interest aroused is unpurallelod. and it is safe to say that Greater New York will possibly not see the same display again fo ra long time.

Beginning at Brooklyn bridge, with it? string of white electric lights punctuated nt stated intervals with ret I and green colored arc signal lamps, tbe immense brilliant motto ••Welcome Dewey” was suspended as it were in air. announcing the wui'in feeling of at least lU.iKHWHMJ countrymen of tin* hero of Manila ami sending out distinctly its welcome to when.- the city's guest walked the deck of the leader of the (loti)la.

Looking from the bridge toward the Jersey coast, similar signs could be dis­tinctly read on the gateway of the iron roads of commerce that are bringing thousands to help swell the* paean of wel­come to the returning warrior. Farther down the bay on tin* Rrooklyu sale was the same satisfying word.tfind at Staten Island, where the steel safeguards o f the nation lajy, blazed forth a hundred en­cores framed in vivid wtreanis of bright riM tire.

At the portal to tin* city where the great ships must ask admittance shone out in letters o f the brightest light the sailie hearty greeting. “ Welcome Home,” (lankcd by an immense illuminated Amer­ican Hag that could be seen for miles. Not content with this token of their great esteem. Dr. Doty and the residents at quarantine gave for the benefit of the sailors on the ships a display of fire­works. which was followed by other pa­triotic residents along the Rrooklyu and Jersey shores.

A fter the displays of fireworks the Olympia and New York gave an exhibi­tion with their searchlights, lighting up passing craft and picking out in brilliant relief many of the pretty wooded spots on the Staten Island hills. Tonight the fireworks and illuminations will la* more general, and safe to say unsurpassed iu ;lie history o f any celebration here or Isewliere.

S e r e n a d e t o t l i e A d m ir a l .Over the waters of the bay at Tomp-

kinsvilie. where the Olympia, the New' York, the <’hicago^and the other warships lay at anchor last night, rolled a mighty

n ils o f human voices in song in tributt? Dewey and his men. While the grim

ships of war tossed on the rough waters 1,1!*HI throats [toured forth melody.

It was I lie tributt* -of -4 ho People's. Choral rniou. led by Frank Damrosch, which lord gom- down the bay on the steamer Warwick. Far ami away across tin1 waters their voices rang, out with the battle songs of the nation echoing among the Staten Island hills. No more graceful tribute could have been paid.

The Warwick, freighted with the sing­ers, TOO of whom wen* wotnep. left Beck­man street ami Hast river at 7:40 p. in., and 40 minutes later the boat was 50 yards from the Olympia’s stern.

Then Damrosch waved his baton, the band struck up “ America,” and the mighty chorus sung us it never had sungbefore.

In a jiffy the decks, rails and rigging of every warship in the fleet were tilled with sailors. The oflicers, too, came on deck, listening to the music.

When this number was ended, the tars showed their appreciation by lout) chceru for the singers. The flashlights then were turned on the admiral's pennant at the masthead, aud Damrosch waved his ba­ton again.

“ See. the Conquering Hero Comes,” sang the choristers.

In graceful acknowledgment the Olym­pia’s band brought forth their instru­ments ami played “ The Star Spangled Banner.” Then tin? Warwick’s singers joined in, and soon the night was tilled with the mighty volume of song.

Admiral Dewey came out on the Olym­pia’s deck and raised his cap in acknowl­edgment of the singing. “ Men of Ilar- leck” then was sung by the chorus, and while that was under way the stars and stripes at the Olympia’s taftrail were .lipped gracefully by way of thanks.

“ The ■ Star Spangled Banuef’ again rang out in swelling chorus, and that was. the singers’ goodnight to the admiral. Then Sampson’s ship, the New York, was sought out. while along the line of war­ships, starting with the Olympia, red and white signal lights winked busily, proba­bly passing the word to give the choral union a fitting reception.

But whatever the signals, the New York’s crew gave the singers warm wel­come as they ‘approached singing “ The Battle Hymn o f the Republic.”

The oNew York's- searchlights were turned on the singers, and w hilethcy •heered for Sampson they were answered with more cheers by the crew. Then somebody on the Warwick called out:

cheers for .Admiral Schley'.” and the answering shout was fully as loud as that which went before. Then followed the “ Hymn of Thanks,” the Hallelujah hymn, “America” and “ The Star Spangled Banner.”. Rear Admiral Howison’s flagship, the

Chicago, was visited next. Only the an­chor watch was on deck, but they work­ed the searchlights bravely. »

The Warwick started back to Manhat­tan at 0:30 o’clock. '

Admiral Dewey’s obliging disposition Is portrayed In an interesting w ay in n letter just received from Mr. W. K . L. Dickson, writ lug under the date, Lon: ilou, Sept. 0, says the New York Her­ald. Mr. Dickson’s purpose iu visit­ing the Olympia wns to procure photo­graphs jgf the admiral for a blograph ffoitfpany.

‘ .yy two sleeping car companions from London to Nice,” he writes, ‘were Robert Barr and Mr. S. S. Mc­Clure, all bent on shaking bauds with Admiral Dewey. W e staid at the Ho­tel Termini, Nice. 1 took au early train for Villefranche harbor, 20 min­utes distant, tbok a rowboat to tfae flagship Olympln and was told It was too late that day for visitors. W e got on board all the same. The admiral was at dinner, but Lieutenant Bruiuby came, making an appointment for 8:30 In the morning.

“ Next morning I wns ou board on time. The admiral could not see me. Mr. Caldwell said he wns preparing to go <iu shore. I was not very elated over my prospects, nnd all arguments were o f no avail. W hile standing, at the gangway preparing to leave I heard the navigator, Mr. Laird, talk­ing about illuminating the ship aud wanting wire. My card had been,/ banded him, nnd ‘electrical engineer' caught his eye. I offered my. service* nnd went*on shore to see an electrical company, he calling after me that he would be glml lo help me in any way In* could. Just then the admiral’s sec­retary nnd the navigator came togeth­er. Tin* secretary went below. I hung on to the ship. Returulng, the secre­tary said. T h e admiral w ill see you in a few minutes.’

“ I -thanked the admiral for seeing me just when he was so busy and ex­pressed the great honor I felt. I re- eel veil a most cordial invitation to come on board, but when photograph­ing was broached lie swore he would not allow another to be taken. ‘No, uot another! I am crazy with these photographs!’ I explained that It was totally different, aud the object o f my visit was not purely mercenary, but 1 wanted to g ive the world nt large his­torical facts in a concrete and lasting form. I spoke o f the great distance I had traveled. I mentioned how I ob­tained • 17.000 photos o f the pope aud iUMjO o f Queen Margherita. A t this juncture the admiral jumped up aud showed me an enlarged snap shot o f the king and queen of Italy, remark­ing, ‘ Isn’t that tine?’ 1 was naturally interested aud enthusiastic over Queen Margherita and promised to send him some photos. He thanked me and said, ‘Well, bring your machine and take all you want, but don’t bother me.’ I thanked him and'shook bauds.

“ Just theu Mr. McClure handed the admiral a snap shot o f himself taken iu his carriage at Triest. The admi­ral liked it very much, bat I told him. now that he had given In, the blograph work I was going to do would be dou­bly interesting, being living portrai­ture. I told the admiral that I had ev­ery opportunity o f gettfug pictures o f him surreptitiously, but as I did not care fo r that kind I had come for his consent,..and now that all was right I would rush on and get the machine set up.

“ A ll that day I labored to got my apparatus on the Olympia. W ith the help o f the sailors I set up the camera opposite the only uncovered spot on board suited to my purpose. Next morning I was again on board .the Olympia. A fter au hour’ s wait the ad­miral greeted me cordially. I pointed to tlie machine and said, ‘1 am all ready.’ He demurred and said it was the last time he Would allow such a thing. I simply said, ‘Kindly w alk up those steps, stand u moment, looking around, aud sit In that chair.*

“ l ie went down the steps to the gun deck, and I called, ‘Ready, adm iral!’ and up he came. I just got to the switch iu time as bis head appeared. A ll went w ell until he sp/ed his dog Bob, which he called, unfortunately bending his head part o f the time. I called to him, but he was so' Intent ou having the dog he didn’t hear. ‘W ill somebody make that dog come?’ he said, ‘Oh, there’s a good dog,’ and then leaned over. I asked him to rise up and pass out o f tlie scene. W hile thanking him he remarked. ‘ You are welcome.’ ‘Can I get some more?’ I asked. ‘Oh, yes,’ he replied, ‘but don’ t bother me!’

“ Meanwhile I focused on a friendly officer* with my large plate camera and waited my. chance. The admiral pass­ed me and, thinkiug I did uot want any more, sat down beside me. I asked I f he would sit again, simply walking .the bridge. No, he wouldn’t. ‘Then won’ t you,’ I said, ‘sit in_that chair?’ pointing to the one I had focused ou. ‘No, I w ill not!’ said the admiralt ‘Admiral/ I said, ‘that chair is just as comforta­ble1 as ‘the one j'ou are in, I assure you, and, besides, you would make me ex ­ceedingly happy.’ H e looked a t me a minute and laughed. ‘You are persist- jptit,' said he and deliberately took the seat. I ■ kept him there for tw o pic­tures.

“ I then silently raised m y„hat, and be walked away, laughing heartily. Before moving the" camera, however, I took Bob, the admiral’s dog, knowing, how pleased the admiral would be. A fter taking Sagasta, the pig, and a bathing scene at the side o f the boat I went on shore, set up tlie machine at the station and waited fo r the admiral lo come. I went on to Monte Carlo and while there met the admlrp.1 at the "Cafe do^Parls, on the Casino grounds. W e talked for awhile, and my last card wns played. I spoke o f m y desire to get another picture with the admiral in the shade, where he would uot be frowning. Later the admiral arose arid shook hands all around. ’ While? wishing uie good night he said, ‘ I want vo u bo.. 11;. * ii I ion it .with vnjii*

tilings and"see you get what you want?“The next day was Sunday, and I re­

turned to Nice. On Monday I got on tbe Olympia, set up the. machine, got the awning partly rolled back so tho sun could shine on the white canvas laid on the floor fo r friee illumination and put the chair iu tiro shade w ith the dark background. I sent down my card. Adm iral Dewey could not see me. In another half hour I must move the camera on account o f the sun. I wrote a card explaiuiug. lie sent fo r me. I said I was ready, if he could spare a moment, but he positively would not sit again. H e had thoilght I meant to get the oflicers and men.

“ ‘But,’ I remarked, ‘ I came at your Invitation fo r the one aud sole purpose of getting this picture o f you without the sun to wrinkle up your face.’

‘ “ I believe I am the most accommo­dating man in the world,’ be said. ■Where i£ the machine? Now, don’ t, keep me.’ .

“ ‘No, I won’t,’ I replied. ‘Stand there, please; then sit tlier^. aiid re­ceive your mail from that man carry­ing your mall bag; lean back and take off your cap. Go, please.' H e did e x ­a c tly as I a^ked him as I repeated the directions. Incidentally his dog Bob jumped up beside hini on a chair and Immediately received the admiral’s at­tention, the whole making a very good picture, especially as I had brought the camera very near.

“ Shaking hands, I thanked the ad­miral for- his patience and kindness nnd said I would return fully reward­ed fo r my efforts aud my long trip. A little later I took a picture o f the captn’n and oflicers.”

Sandow, the curly headed, pink cheeked Hercules who amazed nervous America by his feats o f strength, is training women in ways of physical beauty, which, he says, is synonymous for muscular development. Outdoor sports, ho thinks, aro beneficial, but he thinks none of them comes up to the ojd Greek game o f ball. Row ing and bicycling tend to contract the chest, dancing in heated rooms is not a healthy exercise, and fencing is almost certain to cause curvature o f the spine in the girl ■whose spinal muscles have never been allowed to becorao strong, thanks -to her French stays. W hat women need is a system o f exercise which w ill de­velop and strengthen tho various sets of muscles harmoniously. Dumbbells are what Sandow recommends, and when these simple weapons are ingen­iously used no part o f tho body can escape from their beneficial effect. Proper exercise develops the chest and makes the waist slender, and thus the French corset is not mourned by the dumbbell disciple.

Sandow does not believe in heavy dumbbells, a pair of pound bells being heavy enough for the beginner. Regularity is essential to good results, and even ten minutes1 exercise each morning w ill do wonders for the lan­guid, stoop shouldered girl. The ath­lete lays stress upon the fact that mus­cular development in women does not mean knotty, pugilistic looking arms and necks. ‘.'Women’s muscles are long and do not develop in size so as to form bumps and hard, abrupt lines, ” he says. “ They become firm, close kn it and rounded, showing sufficiently to g ive a delicate molding to the form. This is duo to the layer o f fa tty tissue between muscle and skin,' whi'ch softens all the outlines, so that the danger really is not that a woman should havo too strong line#, but tha^w ant of exercise should cause her to havo no lines at all, but a sort o f shapeless rotundity.”

To attempt to banish all variations of headache by a single “ cure’.’, shows a childlike faith in medicine, but very littlo common sense. The first step to­ward curing a headache is^ to find out which kind of a one it is and to devote one’s- energies to drive i t away. The headache which results from indiges­tion is of frequent occurrence, and it implies overeating or unwise eating and that when a woman finds herself afflicted w ith such a headache she should proceed to cure i t by fasting and a m ild cathartic and sitting w ith her feefc in hot water before^goingr to bed.

Tho nervous headache is the kind to which women are the most subjected, says Woman’s L ife , as i t results from tho effort to make the nerves do more than they ought to do. The first step in treating this headache is to drop work and worry, i f possible, and draw blood from tho head by soaking the feet in hot water and putting cold applications to the forehead1 “And the back of the neck.

A great many mysterious headaches have their origin in overstrained eyes. This kind is c.ured only by g iv in g the eyes a vacation or by an oculist. O f course care in the use o f the eyes is also a help. Reading, w ritin g or sewing in a dim or flickering ligh t must bo given up. The common practice o f try in g to read in jolting tniijus must also be dis­carded. The eyes must never be used too long at a time, and when there is much eyo work to bo done b rie f rests and bathings in hot water w ill ward off the dreaded headache. ..

Tho headache which is the result of exposure to colds or drafts -or sudden changes is best treated by hot applica­tions, hot water bags and gentle fr ic ­tion o f the place o f pain.-- I f this does not banish the headache in a day, then a deeper illness is indicated.

Tho btjst way to treat headaches is to ayoid them— to, refuse to overtax the eyes, tho nerves or the stomach and to give attention to exercise and bathing.

Lady Henry Somerset is -devoting most o f her time to the colony she has established at Duxhurst for the cure o f Inebriate women. She has rented her elegant home, Relgate Priory, and Is living amoug these people, wearing a nurse’s costume. They are housed In pleasant cottages and given every com­fort. She looked rather shocked “when one o f bur ladies said, jestingly, that she was “ putting a premium on drunk­enness.” Her health is much Im­paired, and In a speech which I heard made a few days ago she said, VI probably shall not address you many more times.” —London Letter.

There was a big exodus of people from Asbury Park and Ocean Grove this morn ing, all bent on seeing the Dewey celebra­tion. Last evening the movement began New Yorkwards and today about every­body who could get away traveled in the same direction. The town, In consequence, is Bomewbat quieter than usual.

P ic tu re s o r D ew ey an d O lym pia.The illustrated papers have gone Dewey

mad and Collier’s Weekly for September 30 contains over 20 photograph3 and draw­ings Illustrating the home coming of the admiral. Among these are the latest pic­tures of Admiral Dewey himself and the Olympia. Even the sailors and mascots of the ship do not escape. They are pictured In every conceivable position. In addition^ and hieing back nearly ten years Into his­tory, a page of photographs is given up to the construction, machinery and launch of the Olympia. She is also pictured departing In 1895 from San Francisco for the Asiatic statiou. The photograph certainly conveys a very good idea o f the ship and crew and the Jackies at work and play. The trade of war has its ridiculous side; a snapshot of "Sagasta,” the pet pig of the Olympia’s Jackies, shown .in combat with the ship’s ice cream man, occupies a prominent place.

“ Each one of tho Moffatt girls has mado mo a better w ife than her sister, ” Bays Mr. Mercer. “ I can’ t say more for any o f them than that. I really think I am fonder o f Anha than I was o f Jen­nie, Ada, Catherine or Missouri.”

Mr. Mercer, whoso age ia 50; married Miss Jennie Moffatt when Ire was 19 years old. Tho girls ’ parents havo never offered objection to their marriage w ith Mercer, although Mrs. Moffatt was late­ly heard to complain, “ I t does seem strange to have had four girls married and only one son-in-law. **

necessary Ills that flesh is heir to. In many instances it is their own fault, which might have been avoided. Toothacfife is the result of long neglec of a diseased tooth.

Toothache Is not therefore a criter­ion that the teeth need attention; it is proof that they have not been at­tended to soon enough. Toothache would be a rare occurence if prompt attention were given to the teeth.

TIIE cloy waa drowsy with sunshine, and even Muggins, six foot two and

with the frame o f a giant, fe lt the in­fluence o f the perfect California day, as he meditatively^chewed the end of a lemon sucker and watched the last joad o f oranges leave fo r the (K ick in g house, with the Mexican Manuel perched high on top. h is tall peaked sombrero bobbipg w ildly up and down us the heavy loaded wagon jolted over the narrow winding trail that by cour­tesy was called a road.

“ 1 knew hit,” rumbled Muggins from within the depths o f his throat, as he saw the wagyn lnn-ii to one side and come to a sudden stop. “ I knew hit I I told thet miserable greaser to look out fo r thet eliuek hole, nnd now he’s in hit up to his hub!”

“What is the matter, pop?”Muggins* da lighter, laden with pop­

pies fresh from I lie .mesa, rivaling the glow o f health upon lief* cherL*,’ had come up where her father was stand­ing shaking his list at the excited Manuel, who was wildly flourishing his whip.

“Mailerenough/*grumbled Muggins. “ Look llia r !” he cxciuinicd. as he point­ed in tlie direction o f the now crazy Mexican, who was jumping up and down iu his excitement.

“ St uckV” asked his daughter, shad­ing her eves with her hand ami looking down the road.

“ Worse thau a tenderfoot with 40 acres o f wash.** grunted Muggins.

“ Well, it serves you right! 1 told you to never trust him out o f your sight. 1 never saw a greaser yet who knew enough to herd bees!”

“ Siuee when, lfcth,” answered her farther, drily, “ has this yere ranch been given over to pettyeoat govern­ment?’*

"Ever since you married mom, 1 reckon,*’ she answered, demurely.

"Look at him.'" ejaculated Muggins, again pointing in the direction o f the perspiring Maiiuel and ignoring the home thrust, for it was a matter o f talk throughout the whole district that although Muggins bossed all the'men within 20 miles, he himself was bossed by his little w ife, who only tipped the scales at 100 pounds. “ See him hitchin’ up his right shoulder? Thet means thet he is swearin' iu Spanish! Thar goes the other shoulder! He’s swearin’ with United States now! Thar they both go together? Thet means thet he is hold* Sngan international cussiu’ convention! Stop thet I ” he bellowed; " I ’ll knock

“ Pop," said Beth, taking hold o f her father's arm and pointing o ff to the southwest, "do you see that bright line along the horizon?"

“O f course! H it’s the ocean! You don't suppose, do you, thet 1 have lived here 25 years to be told wherfl... the ocean is?**

"A little further on tlie r isan island," continued liis daughter.

“ Meanin* Catalina?""Exactly. They say the goat hunt­

ing over there is excel lent." “AVuI, I ain’t thar, be 1?*' __

“ Thet thar reptib* down thar has got tlie- end o f ’em— II ui:»pl). be has «Mit out at last! I f he gits thet wagon stalled a train 1*11 murder h im !"

"The last!’ crii-d I let b. glaneing un­consciously at the ranehcr’s c!o< k — the sun. “ ’ I'hen'.von are coming out short ou your estimate?"

*'Xot a bit o f hit! On the contraryI am < Miiing out with 7j more boxes than 1 thought I had."

“They must have bc«*n an uncommon spry lot o f piekers," wns IJeth's com­ment.

"T in y wuz," ' ‘buck led Muggins. ‘T h e fact wuz, thet I promised the crittcr what piekod the most cranges thet he m ight have the honor o f the tirst dance with ye to-night when we celebrate the < h-sc o f ihe pickin’."

“ (Jh, you d a l!" snapped hit daugh­ter, turning full u,*on him w ill, an un- grv look iu her i*\es..- “ Well, all I can say is that I hope you ran deliver, the good: ! Pretty pop you are! l*d like to see myself darn ing with a greaser or a China man just I. ecu use he happened to pick the most oranges!"

"W ill, you see,” said Muggins, apolo­getically, “ them oranges had to be picked,'an* I didn’t see any other way to get them to do hit,’*

"She said she guess h it wuz all right.” "I!u t a greaser or— or a Chinaman!"

burst out Beth. "Besides, I promised Arthur Bray that lie m ight have the first dance, and I mean to keep my word."

"W ho’s him?" demanded Muggins, fo llow ing with his eye. a buzzard that was wheeling over their head5?.

"You know' us well as I d ),” retorted Beth,

"Moariin* thet thar one-lung‘fender- ioot, I’ m supposin’. Wul, he’s in on hit, too. He kim down to the orchard this morn in* to g it Rrfew idea a from seein* the golden globes gathered from 1’ie ir emerald nest, usin’ 1/1 s words. Wul, when he found how the land lay

.an’ why therri pickers wuz srtatrhfn' off them oranges to bent the band he said:

‘* ‘ 1 suppose, Mister Muggins— me:in- in* me— thet you havq no objections to my enterin’ this interestin ' contest? Not thet I desire tho pecuniary reward attached to lilt, but the honor nf Im in* the first to dance w ith your daughter

, w ill be s'utlicient reward fo r my labors in your orchard.’

"W ul, I took from thet thet he want­ed to git.in on tbe proposition; so I told him to take o ff his coat an’ sail in. I put him down In .the lower end o f the orchard w ith Hop Sing, so I f he both­ered anybody it wouldn’t be nothin ’ but a Chinaman. I reckon,” he added with a In ugh, “ thet lie must have picked at least one bo * i f he worked righ t hard.”

They tkad beeh slow ly walking* to­w ard IhfiJhoysQ. \yhercj.tftjp or.%Pg& pick­

ers haa , gathered In 'fh e ,pi*bteeting shade o f an immense pepper tree to aw ait the count that would finally de­cide who had won the prize that was so much coveted.

The pickers, fo llow ing the usual cus­tom when oranges are picked by the box, had placed in each box a* it was filled a small card bearing their name.

Muggins gathered these tickets to­gether, and placing them in his hat, proceeded to assort them.

"Now’, here,” said he, as he took out the first ticket and looked it over, "here is a ticket what looks as though a hen with muddy feet had been walkin ’ over hit."

"A ll the samee me,” answered Hop Sing w ith a cheerful smile.

"Yes, 1 reckon thpm hen tracks be­long to you; Arthur Pearson Bray,” read Muggins, going on with the count. “ Wul, now !” he exclaimed in mock sur­prise, “ so ye did pick one whole box all by yourself? Wul, I call tlict pretty good fo r a tenderfoot!,t

Muggins went on with his count, mak­ing caustic comments now and then which caused the pickers thus singled out to squirm while the rest laughed.

"Thar," said . Muggins finally, as he took the last slip out o f the hat'ahd added i t to the tally he was keeping on a pine board. "N ow we will/arrive at the interesting conclusion o f this yere contest!"

Slowly and laboriously Muggins counted the marks opposite Hop Sink’s name. Throe times he counted the marks before lie raised his head ami stared at the grinning Chinaman.

-Tw en ty-six !" he ejaculated."A ll lite," answered IIo{> Sing, cheer­

fully.“ Do you mean to say,” demanded

Muggin-s, “ llie t you hcv only picked 20 when you hold tlie record around yere, which is a hundred and three?”

"B e lly sick,” replied the Chinaman, drawing down the corners o f his mouth.. “ Peel belly bad. No pick oranges when feelee bad.”

“ Humph,’* grunted Muggins, " I sup­pose a Chinaman can g it sick like a white man, but 1*11 be hanged i f I ever heard o f one before. Where are yQu sick?”

“ Feel belly bad here,” answerd Hop Sing, making a general movement w ith both hands that covered his entire per- hon.

“ Humph," growled Muggins, looking critically at Hop Sing, who commenced to shrink into his clothes like a fr igh t­ened turtle. “ Your eyes look as though you had the colic an* your skin Is yal- ler, but they are always thet w ay; so I ’m hanged i f I can see any way from telling a sick Chinaman from a well one. Well, I suppose hit is all right, but hit seems thet even a sick Chinaman ought to pick more boxes than thet,„ “ TharI". _exclaimed Mu{g£DS._as„he finished the second count, “ thet is more like h it! One hundred an’ onel I reckon you have won, Juan.’ ’

The Mexican grinned and glanced sheepishly a t Beth, who bit her l i js and looked defiantly at her father.

"Them ’s a ll," said Muggins at last, throwing down the hat, "an ’ Juan has w 'y

“ I think,” put in Bray, modestly, “ that you have overlooked my account.” ,

"W ul, I swear, so 1 have I Everybody hold their breath while I figger up what the tenderfoot has picked!”

This would have been a. diflic ult-ina.tr ter had "uny one tried it, for Muggins counted and refcodntAl the marks that he had placed opposite Bray’s name.

“ It's— it’s— ” he began, but he could get no further.

“ I t s one hundred ami tw enty-five!" cried Beth, t ri uni pliant ly. glancing over her father’s shoulder. “ Mr. Bray haswon! ”

*■ 'Tain 't no such th ing !" roared Mug- ■:ins. "M y eyes are weak an’ I ’ve been countin’ ‘cm over twice! You g ’lt my ghissrj..*’ .

Iiith brought the glasses, and her father, putting them on, started a re­count. But it only resulted in adding oue more box to the credit o f Bray.

**I Tit’s broke the record T” gasped Muggins, "an* hit wuz done bv'a tender­foot, too! Tenderfoot, shake! I ’ ve al­ways known thet you couldn't tell how far a frog could jump by lookin’ at him, but I never rated you higher than a pol- lywog, au’ thar wuz where I made a mis­take.”

That night when Bray led Beth out for the first dance he was telling her something that amused her greatly. Muggins fo r once in his life was mute, nnd 1 lop Sing, from his seat in a corner, grinned cheerfully and jingled five good American dollars hidden in some mys­terious reccptacle in his clothes. But what he thought o f the crazy American who gave him those dollars fo r picking 70 boxes of oranges will never be known. — Detroit Free Press.

When Adm iral George Dewey cap­tured Cavite one o f the flrst things to take hi? attention on going ashore was the statue of a Spanish explorer named Elcano, In the center o f one o f the large squares of the city. A fter exam­ining it closely it occurred to him that it would be just the th ing to send home to Washington as a relic o f the city he had just taken. He had already pic­tured how well the souvenir would look when placed on the lawn in fron t o f

one o f the fine government buildings at the national capital. I t pleased him, ond he then and there resolved that he would have it.

Accordingly, the next day he sent ashore half o f the company, o f the Olympia with derricks and other hoist­ing apparatus, w ith instructions to take , down the Btatue and prepare it for shipment to America. The statue stood 30 feet high, on the top o i a splendid pedestal inclosed by a ne&t iron fence. The admiral had told the men to be very careful not to damage the fine bronze figure in taking it down, explaining how anxious he was to keep it intact as a prize of the Philippines campaign. The derricks were im ­mense affairs, intended to l i f t many tons.

The men began work, and were sur­prised to see w ith what ease It was l i ft ­ed, and only when it had been lowered to the ground did they discover that in­stead o f being metal, it was nothing bi?t an old and partly rotted wooden statue, painted a bronze color. Admiral Dew­ey- was disgusted when Informed o f this fact, and wag tempted not to send It home at all. H e finally decided to ship it to Washington. This is said to be the first time the admiral was fooled during his campaign on the Atlantic station; but, nevertheless, i t Is a standing joke on Dewey among the sol­diers aud marines in the Philippines.

One day lately the entire summer col­ony o f the island of Monhegan turned out ‘and helped the fishermen dress and salt 50 barrels o f mackerel. I t has been a haTd year for the fisher­men, for, on account of lack o f bait and food fishes, the cod fishery has been a complete failure, and the .unexpected tak ing o f the 50 barrels o f mackerel created great excitement along shore. The fish 'w ere small and the weather warm, so that they had to be dressed and packed at once or they would spoil.

So many men had gone away to the mainland looking fo r employment that there were not enough le ft to care fo r the mackerel. The'sum m er boarders volunteered their services, and men and women were soon standing about the dories and splitting tables, dressed in their oldest clothes and working w ith m ight and main to help the fishermen. Well-known men and women o f New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia andi Kansas City all plied the splitting- knife! and the “ gibber,” and at sunset the last mackerel had been salted and $500 saved for the fishermen.

William Owsn Smith Who Is to Represent Hawaii.

H e X V III B e t b e P l r . i D e le g a t e t o C o n - Srreaa f r o m th e N e w T e r r i t o r y —

W illiam Owen Smith, who has just been selected by the government o f the republic o f Hawaii to represent the islands at Washington during the com­in g session o f congress, is one o f the tried, trusted, best-known and.; ablest public m ei^of the new territory. H is1 mission w ill be to answer questions bearing on legislation to be enacted for the purpose o f extending the American system to the midpacific. A t present Hawaii has merely the protection o f the United States. The stars and stripes were raised there on August 12, 1S98, but the old order obtains, with President Dole and his^rabinet a t the head o f affairs, till the enabling act al­ready prepared becomes a law.

'The spefcial e>mbabsador ,to Washing-' ton was born in the islands a little less than 50 years ago. A fte r finishing with the schools down there, he attended an American university, took up the law and was admitted to practice before tbe courts o f the state o f California. Mr. Smith was for a short time sheriff o f one o f the islands, but resigned to join the reform partjr, or opposition to the crown, and fo,r nearly 20 years was a member o f the legislature. During all o f that tim e he wns with the minority, but; w ith the cooperation o f a few men like Mr. (President) Dole, succeeded in accomplishing much. In those days., up to late in the 80’s, the whole o f the membership o f the house o f nobles (senate) was appointed by the crown. About all the political power was In the hands o f the king. He appointed his ministers, who could only be removed at his pleasure or by a vote o f want o f confidence on the part o f two-thirds o f the legislature. As many o f the repre­sentatives had been assisted to their seats either, by the king direct or by nobles, and as one man could then hold

W IL L IA M O W E N S M IT H . (Appo in ted to R epresen t H a w a ii In the

Am erican C ongress.)

any number o f offices, the minority had a hard row to hoe.

Most o f the meetings preliminary to the concerted movement which result­ed in the overthrow o f monarchy; Jan­uary 17, 1893, were held at the down­town law ofllce o f W. O. Smith, less than jJOOyfeet from the police station. Mr. sVmth and his friends were being watched closely all the time by the o f­ficers o f Queen Liliuokalani, and the wonder always has been that they were not summarily treated. They were armed and determined, but weak in numbers.

it is only a few months ago that Mr. Smith le ft the cabinet. He had been the attorney general from January 17, J893. He was a regular glutton for work. When yet a mere boy, Mr. Smith organized what is now the Planters' La­bor & Supply company, one o f the most powerfu l aggregations o f wealth and enterprise and action and effectiveness to be found anywhere. He edited the monthly organ o f the planters, and fo r a time was in daily newspaper work- in the division o f the civil service work the attorney general in the islands is legal adviser to the government, and all its oflicers, is at the head of the police department, with a marshal for execu­tive officer, and finally holds the re­sponsible post of president of the board o f health. Mr. Smith performed all his duties with such intelligence, thorough­ness and honesty thnt his resignation was accepted with the greatest reluc­tance by President Dole and associates, and deeply regretted by a ll citizens.

As Mr. Smith was a stalwart in the overthrow o f 1893, so Was he one o f the chiefs in suppressing the rebellion o f 1895. His control o f the police depart­ment and the remarkable degree o f e f­ficiency which obtained in that bureau gave the country a well-drilled force snpplemental to the regular army. Mr. Smith believed in h itting hard at the time o f a crisis, but when once the na­tives in rebellion were subdued the at torney general was among the first to set about fo r reconstruction.

Perhaps the most signal service Mr. Smith ever performed fo r the islands was late In the summer of 1895, when the Asiatic cholera waB brought to the port o f Honolulu from the orient. - As president o f the board o f health, Mr. Smith handled the situation like a vet­eran general. He (Jailed fo r the aid o f citizens o f all races and classes, and was the father o f the system o f inspection and c lea n in g which stamped out the dlsense In three weeks, w ith a loss o f but 80 lives.

In the first delegate from Hawaii the public men nt Washington-with whom Mr. Smith comes In contact w ill find a gentleman worthy any state in the union, a practical, capable man, bnt, a total stranger to the trim m ing and job­bing known so weU to th e politicians o f the mainland. . •

Siegfried Wagner expects to vis it the United States thlB w inter for*the pur­pose o f conducting concerts in the prin­cipal cities o f the north and east. He is the son o f the renowned composer, Richard Wngner, and the grandson of a no less noted German musician, Franz Liszt*

Young W agner flrst gave his atten­tion to music some 13 years ago. Dur­ing his father’s lifetim e he had re­ceived no encouragement to study inu-

S IE G F IU E D W A G N E R .(Son o f the Great Com poser, W h o Is A bou t

to V is it A m erica .)

sie, but the atmosphere in which he grew up was charged with music, and when he was le ft free to fo llow his in­clinations he started out a t once to see what he could do as his fa ther’s suc­cessor. A lack o f ambition was cer­tainly not one o f his failings.

He studied hard and he studied long. His mother b h w that he received the best training Imaginable. Hans Rich­ter, one o f the greatest conductors on the globe, taught him the technics o f handling an orchestra. H e worked' in theory and learned to play many in­struments himself, g iving special at­tention to the piano. Then, when all Beemed ready, he appeared before the world as a conductor o f his father’s works. That was a great event in the German musical world, though to tell the truth the people who crowded to hear him were led more by curiosity than by expectation o f a real musical treat.

Since themmuch o f his life has been spent at Bayreuth, where, under his mother’s direction, he became almost as fam iliar w ith the staging o f the W ag­ner operas as she was, and she was cer­ta in ly tbe greatest o f all Wagner stage directors. Young W agner is not cred­ited now with any of his father’s genius, but his friends point to the short time he has busied himself w ith music and predict that the future has much in store fo r him.

His manner o f conducting Is nervous, rather than forceful. He knows the scores o f the greater part o f the W ag­ner operas, so that he can conduct al­most w ithout fo llow ing the books. Per­sonally W agner is a small man, though larger than his father. H is face is in ­telligent, his expression is keen and his bearing self-reliant. His mouth Is sweet and sunken nnd his chin protrudes, and he has bee^ described as looking liffe Richard W’agner very much feminized.

He " is thoroughly n man o f “the world, and loves a pretty face almost as much ns he loves music.. He was given in his youth a thorough academic training, nnd was intended fo r an architect. The Liszt tomb at Bayreuth was designed by him.

| Drurgsey’s Patent Shoes |

L By Kenneth F. Harris.

T\IttJHGSEY was disappointed in his 1 } shoes. They had been the pride of

his heart fo r about a week, fo r they ■were not ordinary shoes, with plain up­pers, counters .nnd soles and nothing ixnore except the laces and eyelet holes. •They were the latest development’ of sanitary science applied to the domes­t ic arts. A savant w ith a noble brow and double convex spectacles had de­moted years o f study to the evolving of ■this shoe. A t times this savant almost despaired o f attaining his ideal and poverty stared him rudely in the facc. jI ib w ife would br.eaR in on him at icriticai moments during his ex p er­iments and tell him that .the soap was out and the children were crying for itomato catchup, and things like. that. Then she would speak o f tbe prosperity o f her sister’s practical husband John, w ho had devoted himself steadily to sewer contracts. I t was In vain that the savant would plead that he had no genius l o r 1 sewer contracts. H is w ife was one o f those illogical women. N ev­ertheless he had persevered, and the hygien ic footwear was sprung upon the world. Drurgsey was one o f the first 'to adopt the invention.

The shoes w ere so contrived that a sort o f ventilation shaft penetrated itheir depths, running from the counter to the heel and thence along the inseam lto the shank. They bad a perforated in­sole, w ith a substratum o f India rub- .ber, so that the raising o f the foot creat­ed a suction in the ventilating pipe and .drew refreshingly cool »t reams o f a ir in to the shoe, forcing them out again when the foot was pressed on the ground. A little circular, w ith a sec­tional draft decorated with figures at the angles and little arrows in fu ll flight indicating the direction o f the air currents, went with every pair. I t was about ns scientific a thing a lto­gether us can be bought fo r six dollars, without taking into consideration its practical utility. Then, it is a form o f entertainment. When conversation lagged Drurgsey could always l i ft his ileft foot on his right knee and say, -with simulated carelessness; “ Here’s rather an ingenious thing in the way o f a Bboe,” and thed proceed to lecture upon it. He carried the circular about w ith him in his pocketbook, and it was [nearly worn out by the time the shoes began to rip.

They had seemed to be strong shoes, 'and w ell sewn. Drurgsey concluded ;that the mechanism had been deranged lin some way. He said it was his be- •lief that the shank had fouled one o f ■the piston valves or that the inseam jhad expanded nnd jammed tbe shaft. (Whatever the cauBe m ight have been, ithere was an unsightly rip that afforded 'more ventilation than was necessary.

“1*11 send them around to Hindman’s *and get them fixed,” said Drurgsey. '“They didn’t guarantee them to last ,a week, but I guess tl*ey woul<$ have idone so if I had asked thpm, add they (won't have the, nejve to make any ’charge.”

“I might send Mary with them to the ’ cobbler's,*' suggested his wife.

"These aren’t shoes to send to a cob- Jbler,” said‘Drurgsey, bitterly. “I f there I waa a competent machinist in the {neighborhood I might consider that ^proposition, but it's fifty to one wbetV (er tJfis man would know the difference jbetwe^n a connecting rod and a cylin-* der cove , The best way will be to send them, around to the maker, and then if there.are. any of the castings miss- jlng they will have them in stock.”I He began to lace up the shoes aa he lapoks.f #rflfhy don't you put on an old pair?” naked Drurgsey. “You must be getting absentrminded. You don't ex­pect them to mend those shoes while you wait,?” ,

"Well, TO be in the office all the af ter- Inoon. I'll Just s$nd thp office boy rounjt) jwith them and ^oj# In my stocking ‘feet. I don't want to carry a bundle ^of old leather downtown and back?'

Mrs, Drurgsey Bald she thought tha,t I'would bp a good. Idea. §hq tKpntol$ Ifcer husband to be hom^Jn. tfm*for idinnerTalTthe Glovers were coming. Ha .■aid that he would remember.1 That afternoon ‘Drurgsey, unheeding the protest of his partner, tpok oflTtya sanitary shoeB and -gave them id Henry, the office boy, to take over to th? jpaJ era. “Tell them that I want them by 4:30 or five o’clock at the outs(^j” ho eaid, “Spy who they, are lor and tell them you’ll call for them. And tell them th at i boughtWse shoes less than ten |days ago* Bee what they- say to that,"! “Yesalr,” Bali ^enry, who w#a a

salted' peanufs.* H e took tfife^sfiSes^and disappeared and Drurgsey tucked his fe e t under his desk and became ab> sorbed in his correspondence.

In the cp.urse o f ,half an, hour Henry returned and reported that he had le ft the shoes and that “ they didn’t say nuthinV*

“ I guess they concluded that they hadn’t any decent excuse'to make,” was Drurgsey’s comment.• A t 4:30 o’clock Drurgsey told the boy that he had better run over to Hind' man’s and see i f those shoes weren’t done. H e used the word “ run” as a sort of figure o f speech, fo r he knew Henry better than to suppose that he would realty proceed w ith any unseemly haste, Henry sucked the salt granules that had gathered on his fingers from the pea­nuts and started out,' Drurgsey went on w ith his w riting.

Presently his partner closed his desk and asked Drurgsey i f he would attend to the locking of the safe before he w ent 6ut, Drurgsey looked at tlie office clock and saw that i t was five minutes past five o ’clock.

“ Where do you suppose that blamed boy is?” he asked. - “ Search me,” re­plied the partner. “ Good night.”

Drurgsey waited fo r a few feverish moments, and then rose and began to pace the floor w ith a noiseless, pantbe^ tread. A t ‘ IaBt,he heard the gate o f the elevator clang in the passage and Henry appeared.

“ Where are those shoes?” shouted his employer. •

The boy looked seared. “ I guess they ain’t done,” he stammered. “ I didn’t think there wuz any use waitin ’ any longer.”* “ You guess they ain’t done7" Don’ t

you know? D idn 't you ask? D idn 't I tell you that I wanted those shoes by five o ’clock?”

“ I told ’em that when I took the shoes over.”

“ Well, why didn’t you get them? What did they sp.y about them ,anyway? £eave those peanuts alone a minute and answer me.”

“ They did n’ t say nothin',” said Henry. "S a y l” said Drurgsey, w ith the calm­

ness o f concentrated rage, “ you go right back there nnd get those shoes, and be back with them inside o f six minutes, or don’t come backnt all. I t ’ s 5:25 now. I f you nren’t back by 5:35 you loseyour job— understand ?”

Henry vanished* and within six min­utes he was back agdin panting and with a pair o f shoes under his arm.

“ Good boy 1” exclaimed Drurgsey, joyfu lly . “ You can get a move on you all right when you have—why, what in thunderationl These ain’t my shoes!”

As the excited man was delivering his opinion o f office boys and shoemak­ers in a sulphurous recitative, Wagner, the mosaic and tile man in the office next door, came in and asked whether he wanted the police sen tfo r.

“ Wagner, you can save my life,” said Drurgsey. “ Hindmans have got my shoes repairing them, and I haven't got another pa ir to my name. I ’v e sent this— this boy over a dozen times, and he’s just brought me back the wrong ones. Won’ t you go over and get them fo r me. Sayl I ’ ll do anything you can name fo r you if you w ill. They w ill be closed in ten minutes, and I ’ve missed my train now. I f I don’ t make the ne^xt one I ’m going to get in to a ll kinds o f trouble at home. Be a good fellow , Wagner. You know the shoes when you see them, don’ t you?”

“Those patent things that you’ve been blowing about for the last week?”

“ Yes; hurryj Or ff you don’t want to go le t me wear your shoes down there. 1*11 wake them up.”

“ I won’t trust you,” said Wagner. “ I ’ ll go and get the shoes for you. Do I take a cab?”

“Take anything youHke,” said Drurg- sey, “ but hurry.”

Wagner took a cab and hasteued over to the shoemaker's. H e explained the situation, and succeeded in interesting a clerk, who found out that no one knew anything about the shoes. One or two o f the clerks had already gone home and they m ight have received them. The clerk said that he would look at the factory book, and see i f they had been sent over. The factory book |show*ed that they had been sent over.

“ How far is the factory from here?” rasked Wagner.

“ About six blocks.”“ We can make it. Jump into the cab

w ith me; we’ ve got to g e t those.shoes.” The clerk jumped In and they drove

to the factory and found it was closed. They were shaking the door when a po­liceman pointed at a man who was turning the corner o f the street, find said he had just locked the place up. The man was pursued and brought back, the place unlocked and a search instituted fo r tho shoes. A t last W ag­ner found them under a bench, half covered with leather scraps,and the hand of the repairer had not touched them.

W agner took them, however. When he got back Drurgsey was w aiting in the..hall with the office door closed, bis hat on and his umbrella in "his hand. He snatched the shoes from his friend, and without stopping to la<£§ them dashed into the elevator and told the boy to let It drop.— Chicago Dally Ret* ,ord.

Don Juan Isidro Jiminez, who is now so prominent in San Domingo affairs, was at one time one o f the richest men in this hemisphere.

Then he decided that I I eu- reaux was right and he sold out to a German syndicate nnd retired from the island, to await au.opportunity fo r re­venge. He thought this chauce had come when the war with Spain broke out. Under the pretext tliat he was go­ing to organize an expedition to fight fo r Cuba libre, he was allowed by the United States government to pack a lit­tle steamship, the l'anita, with Some San Domingo refugees and set sail from Mobile. But instead o f going to Cuba he went to San Domingo. One dark night he landed there with his cargo o f refugees, expecting to find 1,000 in­surgents under arms awaiting him. Put his letter o f plaits had misearricd, the raid was unexpected, and no revolu­tion had been started for him. He fired a few shots, but was forced to beat a retreat. Jiminez boasts that Heureaux was fcUk'd by his agents and that one o f these days he intends to go to San Domingo and take up tlie presidency.

An old elephant taken into battle on the plains o f India wns a standard- bearer and carried on his huge back the royal ensign, the rallying point of the Poona host. A t the beginning o f the fight he lost his master. The “ mahoot,” or driver, had just given the word to halt, when he received a fatal wound and fe ll to the ground, where he lay under a heap of slain. The obedient ele­phant stood still while the battle closed around him, and the standard he carried. He never stirred a foot, re­fusing to advance or retire, as the con­flic t became hotter and fiercer, until the Mali rat t as, seeing the standard still flying steadily in its place, refused to believe that they were being beaten and rallied again and again around the colors. And all this while, amid the din o f battle, the patient animal stood straining its ears to catch the sound of that voice it would aever hear again.

A t length the tide of conquest left.the field deserted. / «ie Mahr.attas swept on in pursuit o r the flying foe, but the elephant, like a rock, stood there, w ith the dead and dying around, and the en­sign waving in its place. For three days and nights it remained where its master had given the command to halt. No bribe or threat could move it. They then sent to a vilfage 100 miles away and brought the niahoot’s little son. The noble hero seemed then to remem­ber how the driver had Sometimes given his authority to the little child, and im­mediate ly , witU all the sha11ered trap- pings clinging as he went, paced quiet­ly and slowly away.

That the English and the Irish, liv­ing under tlie same physical conditions, ihowld liave the most opposite charac­teristics o f any two people in the world % one o f the mysteries. The physical tonditions of the two races are almost identical. Ireland, like England, being insular, w ith a surface marked by mod­erate irregularities and possessing' a moist and equable climate, the chief differences being that Ireland is rather more mountainous than England and its climate being a little milder and wetter. Yet the two peoples are sharp­ly contrasted in temperament and char­acter. The Irish are aa impulsive, mer­curial, humorous and unmethodical as the English are stolid, orderly and prac­tical. In war the Irish are most suc­cessful in attack, the English in de­fense, The Irishman enters into matri­mony with his heart only, the English­man calculates the cost o f marriage be­fore making a proposal. Irish liter­ature is more w lttv, more tender, more g low iog than English, but is less solid and enduring. The contrast o f charac­ter is most strikingly demonstrated by the fact that the two nations, during an Intercourse o f more than seven cen­turies, have never been able to thor­oughly understand each other, and, opart from artificial difficulties manu­factured by unscrupulous agitators, the real differences between the two coun­tries have been entirely due to a mutual misunderstanding o f each other’s char­acteristics,. ________ . ■ •

“ Helievinsr that the [>ewey areh ereet- ed iu Madison sipiare should he mado permanent to adorn the eity»and perpetu­ate to future trriierations tin* memory of the deeds of the Ameriean navy, we. the undersigned, hereby signify our approval of the plan fo create a fund for stieh a purpose and will if requested art ns members of a committee on plan and seupe/*.

J. I*. MurRiin'N («enerouN Offer.All the gentlemen mimed above have

signed ihis preamble, and i*A ji, few days the paper will be signed by men whose names stand as vouchers for the success of anything they undertake. A formal meeting will be held iu the directors’ room of the Colonial Trust building, liliI > Broadway, next week, and before that meeting has adjourned the money for the arch will he no lotiuer a question for con­sideration. One ueutleiuan of those nam­ed in speaking to the members of the Sculpture society said he would give his check for $r»i MM HI. and that if the neces­sity should arise he would make it half

' a million. Mr. J. Pirrpont Morgan is inentioned ns the man.

There, is a unanimous sentiment among tin* members «*f tho new roimnittee that the permanent tirch should not be repre­sentative only of the Spanish war. and they feel that its chief ligurcs should not he synrbolic of the navy's pcrformam-es in any partinilar >ea tight. The arch, they hold, should be New York city’s me­morial to the Ameriean navy from its be­ginning. and the deed* of Karra gut, Wor­den. Perry; Herat nr. John Paul Jones, Lawrence. Cushimr. liaiuhridgr, Mclion- etigh ami the long line of tuber naval heroes, with their battles, should be prominent.

The National Sculpture society hearti­ly approves this change, ami so the fig­ures of the arch will be ftniplilied and the great work extended without regard to cost. The site will 1m* up town, probably at tbe northwest end of Central park, but wherever if itUtv be. patriotic .New Vork- ers may rest assured that the place '•e- leeted will be the most suitable for the display of the sculptor's art and tin* pic­ture of the navy’s glory.
