 WAsHINGroN, Jan. Never before has the majesty of the United States been represented by so large and powerful fleet of warships as that now gathered off the cxtrcm southern coast of Florida, within direct striking distance of the island of Cuba Whether the ships are called into action or not, an examination of the squadron now engaged ostensibly ill drill, but really in watching the progress of events across .Ae narrow channel which separates the Dry Tortugas from Havana shows kthat it was not collected for dress pa ! rade purposes.
 For year the navy department has been preparing for this very emer- eney, and the result is fleet such as has never been seen ready for service in American waters. The North Atlantic squadron, now under the orders of Admiral Sicard with headquarters at Tortugas and telegraphie address at Key West, is made up of the battleships In. diana, Iowa and Massachusetts, the second class batteships Maine and Texas, the monitor Terror, the ar mored cruisers New York and Brook lya, the cruisers Detroit and Mont gomery, and the torpedo boats Cusll- ing, Dupont Ericsson, Foote and Por- er,with the dynamite cruiser Yesuvius, and the little dispatch boat Fern.
 There is not back. number in the fleet. With the exception of the Cush- ing torpedo boat which was put into service in 1890, not a ship in the fleet has been in commission for five years They are the flower of the new navy and the Ii fighting machines are manned by 387 officers and ., sS4 men, besides the marines The batteries ot the heavy ships are simply tremen- dous. When in action the fleet would be throwing shell from IS riAed guns with an addi ton of 90 rapid-6re rifles. Al! this is for long range business, and is in ad- dition to the secondary batteries oi low-calibered guns. The torpedo fleet is armed with 15 1S-inch Whitehead Uorpedoes, and the ships themselves are fitted with tubes for sending out 23 more, making a total effective bat tery of 23 marine engines, besides the Yesuvius, mounting three dyna mite runs

 But to the young girls who became her pupils forty years ago and more, she was the guiding and enlightening spirit With her it was not enough to teach by means of text books simply she sought to awaken the intellect, to lead us in the line of culture and as- piration. She lent us the best books, gave us high ideals of life and duty was encouragement and inspiration aI- ways.
 And when school days being over we went forth from our elm powered homes into the wide world outside-north, east, south, west--to California, and even to far Australia, as duty, or interest, or love of travel prompted-as wives. mothers, teachers, or workers in other fields, not one can have failed to cher- ish as memory of the past, and inspira- tion for the future, the example. and the leadings of our honored and below ed teacher, guide and friend
