Commodore Dewey Is One Of the Strict
est Naval ciplinarians.
Altogether Commodore Dewey has
seen almost 10 years of service at sea,
while he has done duty on shore 2S1s
years. He is one of the strictest dis
ciplinarians in the navy, and for that
reason not overpopular with under
officers and crew. Men who have served
with him do not hesitate to say that he
is born strategist, fighter and clear
headed and skillful commanding officer.
He is firm believer in the truth of the
old maxim Nothing venture, nothing
have" and has always been ranked
among the most daring of American
naval officers. But with his readiness
to take chances there has always been
exhibited the saving qualities of good
judgment and horse sense. No better
man could have been found to under
take the task Of annihilating the Span.
ish Asiatio squadron In its stronghold.
Socially Commodore Dewey is much
liked. He is one of the finest looking
men In the navy, which is saying
great deal, and has sometimes been
known as Gentleman George" the
same sobriquet which was long applied
to the late George H. Pendleton of
Ohio. He is great clubman and q
huntsman of no mean repute. In riding
to the hounds ho has often distinguish
ed himself, while as daring horseman
he probably has no superior in this
country. He is also an all round athlete.
All in all, Commodore Dewey is Of the
stuff that heroes are made Of, and it
may interest some Of the fair readers of
The Herald to know that he is O wild

was realized by the firemen. The
excursion from New Orleans brought
in a large number of people, among
them being the military and fire

The fair and concert at the ball
were we'll patronized by the towns
people and the excursionists. The
members of the Home Fire
Company have reason to congratu-
late themselves upon their success.
The christening of the hose-cart

beautiful ceremony. The church
was brilliantly lighted by electricity
and the hose-cart, which had been
lastly decorated by Mr.. Wander
Cruyssen, was very pretty. Father
Forge delivered a short sermon be-
fore performing the Daptismal cere-
mony. The sponsors were MIS-.
Jno. O. Mouton and DR.. G. A.

members of the three fire COM

The whole affair was we'll man

upon the ladies and gentlemen who
assisted to make it what it VAS
