His friends love him, and his enemies cannot help liking him, even as Cervera and Schley admire chivalric foes. He has had one tussle with the Tammany tiger, and many Americans would like to see him drive that unsavory animal to his den and to his death. Wherever he moves there is a storm center, and opponents of American institutions and of good government realize that they are in danger. To the mere politician he is "a holy terror" for although he is faithful in his allegiance to his party. he does not place party above the re- public. Men love him for his patriot ism, respect him for his honesty, hon or him for his independence. He is a good soldier. but puts the welfare of the men under his command above the technicalities of the service. He is a good republican. but will not spare a dishonest man because he belongs to his party. In college, in camp, in the legislature, he has lived such a life

.PHiLADELpHIA'S RETURN.
Experience Of Her Passengers in
 Santiago.

New York, Aug 27-The steamship Philadelphia of the Ward line, which was the first steamship to leave this port for Santiago after the surrender, returned here today. She brought 29 passengers-19 first class and 19 sec ond cabin. The Philadelphia left this port on July 23 and reached Santiago on July 2S. She remained there until August 12 unloading cargo and taking on passengers for this city. On the return trip the steamship touched at Nassau, Bahama islands, on August If and left there on August 15, taking on two first cabin passengers.
 Vice President Kennan of the Red Cross, who had been ill with malarial fever in Santiago. was the first man ashore when the Philadelphia tied up in Brooklyn today He said that un- der the direction Of Major Barber the Red Cross was cleaning the city of Santiago as well as possible in the present circumstances.

CHILDREN UNJUSTLY CENSURED
 BY PARENT AND TEACHER.

School children are often unjustly blamed for being stupid and unable 10 keep up with their classmates. when if the truth were known their eyes are often at fault, causing studies to be distasteful and taken up with an un- natural aversion. The future of many a bright child has been marred owing to impaired vision and errors of re- fraction, a child may worry along under punishment caused by eye trou- ble and yet not complain of the direct cause. It is the duty of parents hav- ing children at school or about to be- gin studies to have the eyes Of their children examined by a competan. opthalmic doctor, and thereby avoid subsequent and unnecessary suffering by having glasses correctly fitted and at the same time be the means of rapid and easy advancement in studies and paving the way to a bright and sue cessful future for the child Impaired
 health often falls to the lot of the ambitious student suffering with eye trouble. Parents should not run the risk of having the future comfort and happiness of their children blighted by neglecting the eyes of children. Pro- lessor Paul Ramser. the skilled op- thalmic doctor with George H. Cook, the jeweler, is well versed in diseases and errors of refraction peculiar to school children. He invites all hav- ing children about to enter school to bring them to his office, first door west of postofsice, where he will gladly examine eyes free of charge.

THE OLD MONITORS.
Can Be RrOfifabIy Used in Cuban
 and Porto RiCan Waters.

Washington, Aug. 27.--ft is pretty well understood in naval circles that several of the single turreted monitors of the old type are to be ordered to Cuba and Porto Rico for defensive duty. This subject has been under consideration by the secretary of the navy for some time past, and it is be- lieved that these old vessels can be profitably employed in the various harbors in Cuba. pending the military form of government established by the United States. Prior to the war, these vessels were utilized at various ports by the naval reserves of the various states.
 The navy is now so rich in the DOS session of a fine fleet of auxiliary cruisers and dispatch boats that each state may now have a modern vessel upon which to train the naval militia. These are questions for future consid- eration. for although the subject has received some attention recently, noth- ing definite has been fully determined as to when the orders shall be issued.

 also purifies the city and prevents the spread of yellow fever.
 "The condition of the American sol diers who were there when we left was good The condition Of the residents of Santiago was not so good as it ought to be, but it improved every day. Although the Philadelphia was the first steamship to leave this port for Santiago she was not the first to arrive there after the surrender. The steamship Brattsburg was the first to arrive with provisions after the Red
 Cross steamship State of Texas was permitted to enter. The captain of the Brattsburg told me that he was l in a quandary as Ito whether or not he
 should unload his provisions. He found that the Spanish import duties,
 which were then in force. would com
 pei him to pay from $50,000 to $60.- l 600 tariff. and as there was little ready
 money in the city he was afraid that the goods could not be disposed Of with profit Between the surrender and the time he came away about Q

PIGEONS PINE TREE FLAGSTAFF.
Unique Flag Raising on a Noun
 tain Top.

Pigeon, Penn, Aug. 27.-This town boasts of a novelty in the way of d lag pole which cannot be duplicated by any other town in the United States, and all because of the enthusiasm of Swede who has enjoyed the air of rec America only long enough to take put his first naturalization papers
 The people of the town wanted to 'aise a flag pole, and it was suggested oy this young man that tall pine tree standing on the hilltop eight hundred seet above the level of the town be made into a flag pole just where it stood, and that he would volunteer to lall the flag to it's top and strip the rec of it's branches. The suggestion vas accepted. and on a given day the people fiocked to the town, one thou and in number, to witness the novel lag raising. According to the previ- )usly arranged programme the Swede vas in his position by the side of the one pine tree, standing at the top Of he steep bluff, hundreds of feet above he town and beyond the sound of hu- nan voice.
 At ? o'clock the signal to begin was 'wig-wagged" to him and he "wig- vagged back "all right" and began climbing the tree, which rose with a beautiful straight trunk for 15O feet. With the aid of climbers it was easy york to reach the lower branches, when he became hidden from the view of the crowd so far below him. In lbout ten minutes the people saw the -opmost branches of the tree begin fall and the bare trunk to appear. With the aid Of field glass the work )f the man in the treetop was closely watched as he stripped the branches way, sawed off the top, capping it with gilt bali, then quickly nailed he large flag underneath. It fioate6 ,n the breeze, and the band below 3tarted to play "The Star-Spangled 9anner,' which was followed by the ringing of America" by that large gathering of people so that both music and song reached the ears of the Swede far up the mountainside. And that is he way Pigeon came to have a flag waving $50 feet above the level of her streets.

A Wash Basket Which Contains an
 Opium Smoking Layout.

The case of the opium smokers ana the Chinaman, Lee Si, found by the police in a house at 232 East Adams street last Friday morning, beguil1ng the weary hours, has not yet been dis posed of. The attorney for the smokers who were released on $25 cash bond is endeavoring to secure sentence of a fine somewhat less than the bond. The matter will likely be disposed of tomorrow.
 This incident has disclosed the character of Lee Sis business and may lead to a disclosure ot the lden- tity of some of his patrons. Lee Si is on the face of the returns an honest laundryman and almost any day may be seen going about the city with 9 basket apparently filled with clothing either returning or going to the laun- dry AS matter of fact, Lee Si is not the owner of a wash house nor is he in any way connected with one That basket and those clothes are blind They conceal an opium smok- ing outfit which, it is said, he regu- larly introduces into certain houses of high responsibility, whose owners entertain scruples against visiting a regular hop joint
 If this can be proved against Lee Sj he may be punished for selling opium. though nothing can be done with his patrons, for a respectable house containing lady with a weakness for the drug cannot be construed to be 6 joint within the meaning of the stat utes or the ordinances. Nor is an opium party which woman of good standing may choose to give to her women friends of similar rank in so ciety any more unlawful than a. tea party.
