War to last an ordinary man life
time.
In 1858 he was assigned to duty at
the Naval Academy. In 1870 he re-
ceived his first command, that of the
Narragansett, which was employed on
special service until 1875. The last
part of the time, during which he COM
manded the Narragansett. Dewey was
a commander.
The Pacific survey of 1872-75 was
entrusted to him. After two years as
lighthouse inspector, and five as Sec
rotary of the Lighthouse Board, he was
put in command of the Juanita, of the
Asiatic squadron, in 1882. In Sep
TENDER, 1884, he was promoted to be
a captain and placed in command of
the Dolphin, then new, and one of the
four vessels to which the name white

From 1885 to 1888 he was the COM
mander of the Pensacola, the flag
ship of the European squadron. Dewey
received his commission as Lieutenant
Commander on March 3, 1865, and was
made an actual Commodore on Feb
ruary 26, 1896. He was transferred to
the command of the Asiatic squadron
January, 1, 1898.
1t is understood to be Dewey's wish
to sail for home by way of the Suez
Canal. He wants to bring the Olym-
pia through the Mediterranean and
across the Atlantic, thus avoiding the
Pacific ocean trip and the tempestuous

sail around the Horn. He is not afraid
of the sea for he has lived upon it for
over thirty years, but the journey
through the Mediterranean at this time
of year is particularly beautiful and
would prove a very restful one.
If the Navy Department yields
to popular demands it will at once re-
call the Admiral and insist upon a long
leave of absence. We. in this city, can
only hope that he will visit US, and
give US the great pleasure of telling
him face to face how nObly he sus
tanned our honor, and the flag of I'm

When Dewey returns he will be
surprised to find a wardrobe laid out
for him-a complete Dewey trOusseau-
from the tiny scarf pins that bear his
face to the pointed toed shoes of the
dandy which bear his name. There
are Dewey coats, Dewey watches and
Dewey trousers of wonderful bell de-
sign around the ankle.
Dewey will also find many other
articles christened for him, not the
least glorious being a splendid coIIec-
ton of American babies born since
the great battle of last spring.

three good new ships.
Admiral Dewey. besides adding a
nation and a navy to his country, ruled
the newly acquired territory well, and
when he leaves it it will be in a fairly
peaceful condition, disturbed only by
an insurgent element which by that
time may have become peaceful.
He dealt automatically with all
nations, specially so with Germany,
China and Russia, and he has main
tanned cordial feeling with France
and Austria. No born diplomat would
have done so well as this trained
fighter.
The Navy Department is not insen-
sible to this, and there is talk of re-
viving the title of Vice-Admiral for
the purpose of bestowing it as an extra
reward upon the brave Admiral.

passed near some Turkish women who
had come to visit the ladies Of his palace

the sultan, on Investigating the matter
and learning how the new fashion was
threatening Turkish notions Of modesty
issued proclamation that the ladies Of
ConstantinOple, when they went abroad
should wear the yasmak no longer, but
another garment, called a charchaff, a
great shawl enveloping the body from
head to foot with piece at the front
falling down over the face like mask
AS the charchaf is made OF satin or

The operations Of this charity trust will
not be confined to London, but will ulti-
mately be extended to the English prov
1nces, Scotland and. Ireland, Sir Thomas
Upton being prepared at the proper time
to double his benefaction. The expert
ment will be tried in the East end of Lon
don, the chief center Of English poverty.
There is no intention of pauperizing the
poor and unemployed. The meals served
will be cheap, wholesome and well cooked,
but not free. Dining nails will be opened
where 10000 meals can be served daily,
ana where a thousand persons at one time
can be comfortably seated, but it is ex-
pected that each customer will buy a
meal ticket when he enters the hall, help
himself at long counter and eat his
dinner or luncheon at one of the tables.
For a penny he will have plate of soup

YASMAIx AND CHARCHAFF..
Why the Sultan Ordered Changes in
the Costumes Of Harem Ladies'

Why the Sultan Ordered Changes in
the Costumes Of Harem Ladies'.
When I was in tantinople a few
months ago. I found an odd state of af-
fairs existing in regard to the dress of
Turkish women, notably in regard to the
covering of their faces. T am referring
| now to Turkish women of the better
class, those who belong to the more i'm
portant harens, and are able to clothe
themselves in the richest stuffs From
time imme mortal, it has been the custom
of the land, than which no law is strong
er, for such women to appear upon the
streets or In their caiQues on the Bos-
phorus, or in the queer bullock wagons
that take them for Friday afternoon pic
MICS on the hills of Scutari, wearing the
feradji and the yasmak, the former sort
of cape with sleeves under it, the latter
covers everything of the face except the
eyes. --.,
Thus clad, the ladies went about freely
in the streets of STEAMBOAT. driving sharp
bargains at the bazars with men of their
own race, or, crossing the Galata bridge,
made their way to Pera, the European
quarter, and went shopping on the Euro
pean plan at the Bon Marche. Sometimes
they went on foot, sometimes in carriages
and were nearly always accompanied by
discreet female slave, for already the
old days Of Jealous guardianship by fero-
ClOuS euuuCnS Win SclmltarS were IN the
past.
1t is to be presumed that the greater
freedom accorded to Turkish l.:dies came
to them as a sweet privilege and stirred
in their breasts that desire for admiration
which is strong in all daughters of Eve.
Now that European Influences had per-
mitted them to steI. from behind the
heavy walls and latticcd windows that
used to guard them, why should they not
get that thrill of pleasure which comes
from the homage of men, even strangers.
Why should they no.. those OF them who
were fair, let the world see, as they
passed by, not only the dangerous glow of
their dark eyes. but the red of their fps
and the smoothness of their brows, and
their perfect teeth? Plainly, there was
only the yasmak with its white folds
to prevent SUCH revelation and this
obstacle might be done away with by
making the geuze thin enough, so thin
as to be almost transparent. And the
new fashion spread from one harem to
another until it came to pass, few
years ago, that the real beauties of
& Constantinople were offering their faces
to the practically unobstructed gaze OF
whoever cared to look, the only women
i who chung to the thicker yasmak of
old being ihose who had no beauty to
reveal. %s
And all went merrily In the Turkish
capital, with many smiles through the
flimsy, folds and alany locks. that seemed
