OeweY,s Wonderful Story.

Commodore Schley. prior to his recent departure from Fortress Monroe, with his flying squadron, paid high tribute to the achieve ment of Admiral Dewey at Manila, iu which he said:
 "Admirai Dewey's victory at Ma nila must deservedly take place sine by side.with the greatest naval vic tories of the worlds history.
 1t has been urged that the re suit shows such decided inferioritv ID resistance as compared with the order of attack, that there Is a diminution of glory, but that is un- true. for it must be remembered that the greatness of Dewey's sue cess lies in the courage and daring displayed in his decision to enter strange harbor at dark under the guns ot the forts, and braviug, per hsps, the hidden torpedo or mine.
 1t strikes me. that with several advantageous fortified positions the preponderance of advantage was certainly with the enemy, and that. with the great daring displayed by Dewey. there must fall upon his shoulders the mantle of Perry or Farragut. From the maagre ac- counts that have been received of the battle, 1t is evident that despite the great risk every officer aud man knew was being taken, there was not faint heart in all that squadron but an enthusiastic esprit de corps that could not but win with such a leader.
 "I would note, too, that superior education which brings intelligence coupled with perfection in marks manship, aided greatly in winning the day and will. I believe, contrib ! ute to future wet 0ries. Admiral ! Dewey and every man in his squad . ron deserves every recognition that . a grateful people and nation can . bestow."

TORPEDO AND TORPEDO LAUNCHING TUBE
A New Book by a Preecott Author

A couple of years ago Mrs. Anna
 NcGowan, now Mrs. L, H. Yoakum of Prescott, published a book, the title of which was "Wrinkles, 1" which at racted great attention among a certain class of thinkers particularly. Another and larger volume has just been issued, the title of which is Supply" 8 copy of which has been received at this office. A better re- view of the book can not be given than that published by Unity" a publication devoted to practical Christianity, which is here given:
 Supply by Anna McGowan, is a work of more than average utility in the metaphysical field because of the candor and direct simplicity of its message.
 "The author gives some very con hints as to the possibility, even necessity, of perpetual bodily incarnation in order to carry out the sequential steps involved in mind action. We count this one of the most useful books on metaphysics recently published. and freely rec Ommend it to our readers. The author has received many letters of commendation from those who have read the work"

HIS DOOM DRAWING NEAR.
Preparations Being Made for the Parker Execution---A Carpenter
 al Work on the Scaffold.

Unless some unforeseen accident should happen, or unless the gover- nor of the territory should inter pose with a reprieve or communication of sentence. the time of James Parker, murderer and alleged train robber, on earth is limited to two weeks and three days. The date for his execution has been set for Fri day, June 3. Sheriff Ruffner has al- ready commenced to make the pre- hminary arrangements for carrying out the sentence of the court, and a carpenter is now at wOrkmaking the scaifold, the old one belonging to the county. and on which a number of murJerers have expiated their crimes, having been destroyed by the court house fire.
 The laws of the territory require that the execution shall take place in an enclosure and accordingly Sheriff Ruifner has arranged to have au enclosure built adjoining the court house on the east by building a fence eighteen feet high. Work will not be commenced on this uD- til just a few days prior to the exc cution.
 As the time for his execution draws near Parker shows decided signs of weakening and has become very reticent of late, although it IS not thought that he will weaken to the extent of breaking down but will meet his fate brayely.
 As a last resort, an application will be made 10 the governor by his attorneys for n communication of sen tence, but it will be done more as matter of form than otherwise, as there are absolutely no grounds on which to base a request for execu- tive clemency, and it is not believed that the governor will in any way interfere with the sentence of the tsOuFt
