Before entering Annapolis, Dewey
went to the public school in the village,
and also attended a military school at
Norwich, where he formed a determine
ton to enter the navy. Dewey's father
did not think much of sailors and told his
son SO, but this made no difference to
George. He kept at his father until he
procured him his appointment to Anna
polls. While a pupil in the district
school at Montpelier, young Dewey re-
ceived a W thrashing, which he prob
ably remembers to this day. The fog
ging was administered by Major Pang-
born, the schoolmaster, now editor of the
Jersey City Journal. Prior to the coming
of Major Pangborn as master of the
school, the boys had whipped several
masters. Soon after Pangborn had been
installed it was decided that his mettle
should be tried. George Dewey was Sc
lectedby the other boys to make the test.
Major Pangborn heard of the plot.
Dewey was called from his seat in the
midst of a session of the school. He re-
fused to respond. The other boys chuck
led. Master Pangborn walked down to
where young Dewey was seated, and with
the grasp of Hercules. took the lad by
the collar and yanked him from his seat
and walked him up to the masters desk
He was accused of the plot, but refused
to acknowledge it. When Master Pang.
born had finished with young Dewey he
was escorted home, where he had to lie
abed for several days as the result of his
thrashing. Dewey wal too big-hearted to
harbor ill feeling against the school.
master, and afterward there grew up be.
tween pupil and pedagogue the most
friendly feeling.-From" The Hero Of

IN Kxosllens Condition and Spirit.
WASHINGTON. July 14.-That the ad.
ministration is anxious to secure the
fall of Santiago without bloodshed is
made apparent by the offer made to
General Toral to send the Spanish
forces to Spain if they surrender i'm.
mediately. A few days ago it was
stated that the president would insist
upon unconditional surrender, but it
appears that conditions have been mod.
ifed. This was done mainly from q
desire to avoid useless bloodshed, for
General Toral's army removed to Spain
would be harmless to prevent u fur.
Their operations in Cuba and would
serve a. good purpose as would the
destruction of the Spanish army. To
allow the Spanish general to withdraw
to the interior and fall back on Havana
would put us under the obligation Of
overcoming that additional force when
1t comes to the siege Of Havana. Our
government is also moved to make this
THHH
proposal to
Remove the Spanish Forces to Spain
through a strong desire to close up the
operations at Santiago at the earliest
possible moment. This desire has been
materially strengthened by the appear.
ance Of yellow fever within the Amer.
lean lines. It was at first supposed
that the men were falling i'll with
malaria and climatic fever, 20 the cases
were reported al simply suspicious.
Now, however. comes the final admis.
sion that they r genuine yellow fever
cases. Their appearance has deter.
mined the authorities upon q more
active prosecution of the campaign.
Reluctant as the war department is to
sacrifice the many lives that might be
lost In assault, it is deemed to be better
policy to make it than to allow the
men to rot away with fevers and other
diseases during the long period that
would be required to perfect the reduc.
ton Of the city by steady investment.

Colonel Hunter was a well known
figure on Main street and acknowledge
ed by all to be the handsomest st.
Bernard in this section. Last Saturday
morning Mr.. Thomas Hunter, his ow-
ner, went out as usual to see his dog,
and Colonel" lay on the grass as
though he were asleep. Mr.. Hunter
spoke to him, but Colonel did not
move. Mr.. Hunter knew at once that
something was wrong and upon inves-
tigation found that his dog was dead
Mr.. Hunter and J. D. Stocker live on a
plot of ground with no fence between
them and Colonel" used to guard Mr.
Stocker's property as well as he did
his own home, and the supposition is
that Colonel was preventing some
body from committing some sort of a
depreciation, and that the dog has been
poisoned to get him out of the way.
