Then, after a few years hard work re- organizing the light house service on the eastern coast, came the Spanish war, and in this conflict he has been conspicuous.
 "The man on the bridge" was the way the Spanish described him, and this has been true of Schley all along the line. Dur ing his whole life he has been "the man on the bridge" He destroyed Cervera's fleet on the bridge, and narrowly escaped being shot. The one shot which hit our ships swept oyer the bridge just after he had left 1t.
 While living this life of fighting, Commo- dore Schley has also had happy home life. In 1863 he got 8 leave of absence for three days and slipped down to Maryland and married Miss Rcbecca Franklin, beauti- ful member of the oldest family in Mary land. She is the handsomest woman in the navy, and though she has been married now some thirty-fve years, she ranks with the youngest of the reigning beauties among the matrons.
 There are three schley children. Lieut.. Franklin Schley Is now In Manila with Dewey. He is in the Twenty-thfrd United States infantry, ready for promotion.
 In 1890, Virginia the only daughter of the family, married nephew of the Earl of Wharncllffe. Mrs. Ralph Granville Stew art-Workley is one of the most beautiful women to be found in English or Ameri- can society.
 New Workers are we'll acquainted with Dr. Winfield Scott Schley, who is in the New York hospital, New York city. He is the head surgeon, and Is busy daily treat ing as manye wounds as though he were following his fathers command at Santi- ago. The young man, who Is tall and handsome, with the same Mephlsto cut of his father, was wild to leave his position and go to the front, but an appointment in a big hospital does not come every day, and once having enlisted for two years in New York hospital service, he could not get out He is at the head of the surgical section, and will be as great physician some day as his father is now naval offi- cer.
 Commodore Schley has always been one of those men who try to keep in the back ground. His honors have all been thrust upon him. When Maryland-his Maryland gave him an elegant jeweled sword for

stations five years later, the whole of the western coast of Africa, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Strait of Gibraltar, was a pleasant place to live in. The Canarles were habitabe, and the Cape Verde islands could be visited in safety. He was not supposed to do service to foreign countries, but in dealing with the pirates that men aced us he did great international ser vice for the Spanish and the French. The pirates grew to respect the Stars and Stripes, and when they saw them they drew off and commenced their depredatons elsewhere.
 Then began a long period of work of public honor. His marvellous rescue of Gree ly at Cape Sabin brought him praise from every tongue, and cablegrams were poured in upon him on the day of his arrival home in safety with the Greedy survivors. Dur ing his visit to Sweden on the Baltimore, when he took the body of Ericsson over, he was feted and wined and dined until any other man except a Schley would have had his head turned. But Commodore Schley is not that kind of a man.
 On his return in 1891 he again looked for retirement, and was ready to give over the hard work to younger man in the navy, but the Baltimore's sailors had been stoned in Chili, and it was absolutely necessary that confidence should be restored between Chili and the United States, and no one could restore that confidence like Commo- dore Schley. So one night he landed in Valparaiso with 300 marines, and next morn-

native women display much art in weaving the abundeant flowers into leis of much beauty. No matter how many men may leave a ranch or a plantation house, nor how early 1t may be in the morning, the mistress has been busy with her maids and every guest is decked with a lei.
