Awakening of the Nation,

The war with Spain has revealed
suddenly to the nations of Europe the
fact-by no means pleasing to many
OF them-that the United States is one
OF the greatest powers on earth, which
must be consulted in international af-
fairs and whose interests and wishes
must be respected. Those nations
would, as rule, have preferred to see
this country, ignorant of its strength
and unmindful of its responsibilities,
adhere to its long-continued policy of
isolation and seclusion, but the stim-
ulus of war has shattered old policies
to atoms. The United States has
emerged from its shell and will not
withdraw into it. The cloistered, re-
tired life OF this country is at an end.

DR.. j. H. Phillips, superintendent of
the city schools, leaves tonight for
Washington on a pleasant mission.
In that city on next Wednesday he
will be married to Miss Minnie Hol-
man, at the residence of her mother.
DR.. Phillips is, perhaps, the best
known and most widely beloved man
in the city. He made and has main
tanned our city schools, and to him the
people look very largely for the future.
For fifteen years he has lived in this
city and all the while growing in pop

the schools several years. She is a

Dewey as a Letter Writer,

Admiral George Dewey is not only
brave sailor, but he is a splendid let
ter writer. In an epistle to Congress
man Livingston, of Georgia thanking
him for introducing a resolution ex-
tending the thanks Of Congress for the
naval engagement at Manila, May /,
he says:
1T is source Of additional pleasure
to me, Vermonter. that the mover
OF the resolution was not a man from
the north, but one from the far south.
This is one of the good signs Of the
times. In the hour of danger there is
no south, no north, but one country.
May we never hear of sectionalism
again. There are no lines drawn in
the navy. l need not say it may in
terest you to know that my flag lieu
tenant, Lieutenant Bumby, is a Geoor-
gian by birth and appointment"

OLD GLORY DAY.
McConneIsviIIe Has a Big Time Gel
ebrating Peace.

1t was our pleasure to visit McCon-
nelsville Wednesday aud witness that
towns rejoicing over the close of the
war
Nearly every Morgan county man,
together with Ibis sisters and his
cousins and his aunts," was there, and
the crowd filed the pretty town to just
about its utmost capacity. 1t was es-
timated by good judges that there
were 5000 visitors present.
To entertain the people there was a
parade of very creditable size and
quality, consisting of trades displays,
battle ship, sailors, rough riders and
odds and ends of characters of com
ical nature.
AT noon "Old Glory" was flung to
the breeze, hauled aloft to the ac-
compartment of a song from the
school children of the town. Later
speeches were made in the beautiful
little opera house; base ball was an
other feature of the afternoons fun
Last, but not least, a Spanish battle
ship was blown from it's resting place
on the quiet bosom of the yellow Mus
kingum. A large lot of elaborate fire
works was set off, and the rockets
went so high it was hoped the Span
ish might by looking up in the ir,well

Dewey's Good Fortune.

Rear Admiral George Dewey cer-
tainly slept in the cradle of For
tunatus if any man connected with the
Spanish war did, for not only was it
given to him to open and close hostik
tiles, but never was such an opening
known before, while the information
available as to the close indicates that
it was entitled to rank in the same
class as the opening. 1t is not Otter
that the tide of affairs twice runs in
the direction of such good fortune as
fell to Dewey in the destruction of the
Spanish fleet at Manila and the recent
capture of the city. 1t is not often
that man is favord once in such man
ner. But Dewey has to his credit two
events, and one of them, no difference
which, would have made him famous.
1t is also greater victory for Dew
ey because it was victory in both
cases resulting from his own accept
ance Of opportunities and his own
planning of the battle. In the de-
struction Of the Spanish feet he had
little to guide him except the general
knowledge of the enemy's presence.
But the American commander proved
himself master of the situation, sum-
moning quickness of action and judg-
ment, GOODNESS, bravery and strategy,
and he made himself place in history
within few hours. From the day on
which he found and sunk Montejo's
fleet. Dewey accepted the role of dip
lomat, and he successfully held his
own against the scheming of the Ger
man fleet and guarded the interests of
the United States. What he gained he
held against all comers, and when he
found that he had been sufficiently re-
inforced on land and sea to attempt
the capture of the city of Manila he
made the venture with his usual sue
cess. The nation looks upon Dewey as
hero. The nation scarcely realizes
yet the full measure of Dewey's worth
He is rare genius, aside from his
luck.-Pittsburg Times.

THE BIRDS
Killed in the College Yard Prove to
be Martins,

Somewhat of a commotion has been
raised as to the kind of birds that are
infesting the trees in the College yard,
There is no dispute as to the nuisance
the birds commit there and all citizens
have been in favor of eXterminating
them. All manner of means have
been put in force to drive them from
their roost, but to no avail. AS a last
resort 1t was suggested that they be
Killed. Thereupon the Mayor ordered
the police to attack them with shot
guns.
Now it has been discovered by some
That some OF the birds killed were
martins and the State law places n
penalty on killing them. There were
several kinds Of birds killed, including
bats.
However the law reads, the birds in
the College yard are nuisance and
they should be driven from the trees
and we do not think the citizens will
object.

FIRE DEPAR MENT
Question Becomes Somewhat Per.
picking and Arouses Interest.

The question of the appointment of
new second pipeman in the fire de-
partment has reached such proportion
as to become somewhat interesting.
The Mayor has handed in to Council
the appointment of Chas. Brown to fill
the position and twice has he lacked
confirmation. Mr.. Davis, the present
second pipeman, whom all agree is a
good one, refuses point blank to va
cate the Office and the Mayor says he
must.
1t is known co.. all that the Mayor is
the executive head of the city, and it
has been shown by the City Solicitor
that this is a fact, and that he has the
appointive power of all appointive Of
ficers.
Mr.. DAVIS refuses to vacate the DO
sition of second pipeman on technical
grounds, Notwithstanding the advice
of the City Solicitor. Both Mr.. Davis
and the Mayor are decided in the
stand which they have taken and the
question promises to bring forth
much interest.

to quit fighting and gives the island

act of unexampled generosity, and yet
there are those in this country who
will even then, doubtless, continue to
howl about the purpose to oppress the
