Dewey's Victory.

The full accounts of the battle in
Manila Bay show it to have been one
OF the most signal victories ever
achieved on the sea. This is strikingly
indicated by the statement that the
casualties Of the Spanish navy in ships
were more numerous than those of our
own navy in men. Eleven ships to-
tally destroyed, at a cost of eight men
slightly injured!
There were three marked elements
that entered into the case to make the
victory noteworthy and completes
First, the nerve and courage Of Com
modore Dewey in taking his feet
where the enemy did not wish to en-
gage him, disregarding all hidden de-
fences OF the entrance to the bay; sec
ond, the unusual luck implied in the
fact that even the well-aimed Spanish
shots did little damage; third, the sa-
gacious strategy of Dewey's maneu-
vering that left so little to luck.
In spite of the circumstance that the
Spanish fleet was overmatched the
battle Of Manila Bay has already been
accepted by naval men throughout the
world as one of the most daring and
probably one of the most important
in its results ever fought. The officers
and men engaged will be heroes as
long as they live; their children and
grandchildren will be to Americans as
the descendants of Nelson's sailors are
to Englishmen.
One battle, fought in two or three
hours, placed at the disposal of this
government historic group OF islands
and seven million people. Whatever
may have happened since, whatever
may happen next, nothing can dim the
distinction of that achievement.

do not know. The first forger Of hank
notes was one Richard William Waugh"
an, a linen draper of Stafford. This
was in 1853. The man does not seem
to have been actuated by want, but
simply by a desire to appear a man
of greater consideration than he was.
The plate, cut into several parts, was
entrusted to various engravers, by one
Of whom the fraud was discovered.
The criminal had deposited twenty Of
the notes with lady to whom ne was

stability. Vaughan's example was only
too speedily followed. During the thir-
ty years anterior to 1S32-when capital
punishment for forgery was abolished
1876 men were convicted of the
crime, of whom no less than 62S were
hanged. The horror caused by these
executions had such an effect that, with
clear proofs of guilt, the victims chose
to suppress it rather than be respons-
ible for the death of culprits. 81 pray"

Since 1882, forgery has been very much

talions of the other states have shown
equal ardor.
The Massachusetts,, New York, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania battaliOns
have been signed to the auxiliary cruz
sers Yankee, Prairie, Dixie and Yosem-
lite, and the monitors reserved for
the defence of Boston, New York and
Philadelphia. The battalions from Illi-
nois and Ohio, and probably from
Connecticut, will be stationed at New
York; those Of North and South Caro-
lima and Georgia at Port Royal; and
those Of other states will be modified
at the nearest navy-yards and drilled
before being assigned to duty.

cations, the government would have

MagnanimltY In War.


An elderly lady. now living in the
vicinity of Boston, relates what she
heard from her grandfather, who was
a soldier in the English army which
captured Quebec in 1859. The hostile
armies were drawn up in battle order
on the Plains Of Abraham, before the
city.
In the open space between them, and
In full view Of both ranks, the oppos-
ing generals, Wolfe and Montcalm,
rode toward each other, saluted by
raising their hats, drew alongside, and
silently clasped hands like friends and
brothers; then wheeled, rode back to
the head Of their respective forces and
gave orders to open fire. A few hours
later both lay mortaiiy wounded.
These men we're loyal to their SOW
ereigns and acting under orders. They
followed the military profession as
gallant and chivalrous gentlemen. To-
ward each other they were incapable
OF Ill will, and at heart they were not
enemies but comrades. 1t may seem
almost shocking to add that in creed

Are not international courtesy and

passions Of hatred, cruelty and re-
venge?
In the midst of arms, the laws are
SILENT" says the old Roman maxim.
But are the laws of God ever silent?
Is the Gospel of His love ever suspend

for Justice, freedom, human welfare
and lasting peace. With these motives

Got a Commission After All.


One enthusiastic guardsman in this
State was holding commission as a
surgeon before the troops were ordered
to camp. 1t was discovered when his
command was ordered out that a sur
,geon was not called for, and con-
5sequently he could not go as a
commissioned officer. He didn't hesi-
tate but enlisted as a private. His
company went into camp and the
physician pitched in and did duty as
"a private without any vain regrets for
the commission that he had once held.
In, this camp it was discovered on
"Wednesday morning that an assistant
isurgeon was needed for one of the
regiments. Thus far whenever a
imam Of any profession or trade has
been wanted the commanding officers
lhaVe found him serving in some ca
pacity in the Guard So several Off
GERS started out to see if a physician
could be found to act as an assistant
surgeon of their regiment. AS they
walked down the company streets one
lOf them stopped, and pointing to a
man in the uniform Of private, who
was digging a trench around his tent,
said:
well, this is funny! There is DR..
So-and-So dressed as a private. Hello!
Doctor, what are you doing here?"
Digging" was the laconic response.
But you are masquerading as a pri-
vate."

physician; 81 am private I couldn't
come any other way and l enlisted as
a private two weeks ago. Now I'm
here"
The physician then explained how
he had lost his opportunity of being
mustered in as a commissioned officer
and why he had enlisted. There was
no question as to his ability and a
commission as assistant surgeon was
promptly offered to him and accepted |
He is now a commissioned officer and |
credit to his regiment.

the story, lis a fair sample of the
temper Of the guardsmen who have

MEDICAL SCHOOL FOR WOMEN

of Wales.
| London has had a school of medi.
cine for women nearly a quarter of q
century, but during most of that time

every attempt to invade a masculine
monopoly always creates. In England
as elsewhere, the experiment so Yehe-
mently denounced has slowly won ap-

Gently equipped laboratories are added
to the school the final disappearance of
all apprehension is to be marked in the
way most conclusive to British minds.
In other words, the new buildings are
to be opened and dedicated by the
princess of Wales. 1t has often been
stated by the critics of women doctors
that they have never done any original
work, but hitherto the answer has been
ready that women have had in this pro-
fession only the most meager oppor-
tunities for display of anything more
than knowledge and skill. In London
for the future all such drawbacks will
cease, for no medical school could be
better provided with the means of in

once again the white tents CLEAN
ON that field where vanished heroes
Sleep the sleep that knows no dream.
There are shadows all about them
or the ghoStly troops to-day,
But they light the common camp fire
Those who wore the blue and the gray.
Where the pines of Georgia tower,
Where the mountains kiss the sky,
On their arms the nations warriors
Wait to hear the battle cry.
Wait together, friends and brothers,
And the heroes meath their feet
Sleep the long and dreamless slumber
Where the flowers are blooming sweet.
Sentrtes, pause. yon shadowy challenge!
Rock-ribbed Thomas goes that way
He who fought the foe unyIelding
In that awful battle fray.
Yonder pass the shades of heroes,
AND they follow where Bragg leads,
Through the meadows and the river,
But no ghost the sentry heeds.
Field Of fame, a patriot army
Treads thy sacred sod to-dRyl
And they'll face a common foeman,
Those who wore the blue and gray,
And they'n fight for common country,
And they'll charge to victory
Meath the folds of one brave banner
starry banner Of the freel
They are camped on Chickamauga,
where the green tents of the dead
Turn the soil into glory
Where nations heart once bled;
But they're clasping hands together
on this storied field of strife
Brothers, brave, who meet to battle
In the freedom-war Of life!
