WorthBagley Monument Fund

The following is the copy of letter
from class-mate of the late Ensign
Worth Bagley, who sends $1.00 to The
monument fund:
Haskell Institute,
Lawrence, Kas., July 26, 1898.
Dear Sir: A copy of the News and Oh
server describing the funeral ceremonies
of Worth Bagley. Ensign Z. 5. n,
eached me through the kindness OF
friends, and Mr.. Charles Meserve adj
vised me that subscription had been
started to raise n fund for the purpose
of building Il monument to that gallant
officer. 1t is on this last account that
| write. Enclosed you will find one dol
lar which ] understand is as much rs
one is permitted to contribute. | wish
that / could send more.
Mr.. Bagley was well known to me, as I
had the privilege of being a member of
the cadet corps at Annapolis during his
career at the school. During his last
year in school. my place in ranks was by
his side. and my recollections cover many
scenes in which he was the actor. / can
say that the encomiums that his gallant
death brought out were deserved by him
for he was II good and brave gentleman
Of the South. 1t was with infinite regret
that | heard Of his death and yet from
my knowledge of the man, l am sure
that he would have chosen no other.
wanted to do something in the name Of
the deceased hero, and | thank both Mr..
Meserve and Yourself for this opportuni-
ty. / have the honor. sir. to be. very
respectfully, your obedient servant.

HE WON DISTINCTION
ENSIGN JOHNSTON, OF LINc0LNTON ON
THE OREGON.
Aide to Captain Clark Ensign Johnston was a
Classmate of Ensign BagIey-'H His Sis.
Ter has Lived in Raleigh for
the Past Two Years.
(Raleigh Times-Visitor.)

Captain c. Il. Clark, of the battleship
Oregon, in concluding his report on the
naval battle of Santiago appends a list
of the officers Of that ship who rem
dered meritorious service to the coun-
try.
Among the names is found that of
Ensign II. u. Johnston, who during the
battle was in charge of signals and aid
to Captain. He is a son of Rev. X.
u. Johnston, Presbyterian pastor at Lin
colntOn.
Ensign Johnston is a North CAROLYN
ian. He was born and raised at Lin
conton, y. c.. and at the Naval Acade-
my was a classmate of the late Ensign
Worth Bagley. Ensign Johnston was
brilliant and popular cadet and has
always held the respect and confidence
of the Oregon's crew from seaman to
captain When the Oregon completed
its tour around South America and
reached the American coast the gov
eminent had cautioned Captain Clark
to prevent the whereabouts of that YES
sci being known if possible. When the
great battleship arrived at Jupiter In
let. Florida. one officer was sent ashore
to communicate with the Washington
government and this was Ensign John
ston. And now it is no surprise to
learn that in the most important en-
counter in the life of the Oregon Ensign
Johnston was placed in charge of Signals
serving as personal aid to the Captain.
During the time when the Oregon's
safety was the cause of alarm all over
America, no city or hamlet shared the
awful suspense more than Raleigh In
this city was n sister of Ensign john
ston, who was Il member of the Peace
Institute Faculty, and her many
friends were intensely interested in ev-
cry word that came from the great
ship. The newspaper men took delight
in 'phoning the latest bulletins of the
Oregon's whereabouts to Peace Insti-
tute, where all of the students had
carefully watched the ships progress.
In the great battle in which Cervera's
fleet was destroyed number of the
navy's best men received favorable com
ment and none are more deserving Of hon
or than Ensign Il. u. Johnston, of North
Carolina.

MIR. HARDY RETURNS.
He is at Home on a Furlough and is
Badly Afflicted.

lie is at Home on a Furlough and is
Badly Afflicted.
Mr.. Ben. Hardy, Jr., son of Mr.. H. b.
Hardy, of the News and Observer,
reached Raleigh yesterday afternoon. He
left Jacksonville at seven o'clock on We'd
nesday night via the Atlantic Coast
Line, and reached Raleigh yesterday at
$40, having made no change except at
Selma. He is here on furlough, his
release having not yet been approved.
The letter of Mr.. Merritt shows an
injustice to the young man which is in
excusable.
Young Mr.. Hardy left Raleigh two
months ago as a member of the Cover
nor's Guards in perfect health. Though
not physically robust. he was i'm excel
lent health and the examination showed
no physical infirmity. Five weeks ago
he had Il chill, and following that At
went to the hospital with a severe pain
III his back. 1t was at first feared that
he had meningitis, but after a stay oil
two weeks in the hospital, he went back
into camp. Since then he has not been
able to walk upright, and when he
walks, he is bent half over. 1t is a
serious affictOn, but whether it is
rheumatism or an affection Of the spine
is not yet known The physicians have
examined him nine times. One of them
and one of the best-says that Mr..
Hardy's trouble will yield to skilful
treatment and that he will be well and
strong again in a reasonable time Now
that he is at home, tenderly cared for. his
Improvement will be confidently looked
for.
In all his serious illness and severe
affiction, the young man has borne him
self as n Spartan. Waiting for his dis
charge and looking for it every day for
four weeks, not a murmur escaped his
lips. Last week Mr. Zeke Young, OF
Panther Branch. was in Jacksonville t.
see his son who is a member of the Raj
cigh company. He was greatly dis
tressed at Mr.. Hardy's condition and
asked if he could do anything for him
i'm Raleigh, Don't let mama know it,
said the brave-hearted lad, hoping to save
her from trouble. All the time he has
written cheerful and hopeful letters
home, and has seemed chiefly anxious to
comfort his mother. He sought upon his
