PHILIPPINE COURTESY.

Admiral Dewey is said to be courteous. punctilious and some thing of dude, but the laurels of victory must go to the insurgent leader, Aguinaldo, for these attributes, if he has been correctly represented by the press dispatch es. In explaining the manner in which he conducts his campaigns against the Spaniards, Gen. Agui- naldo explains "Before opening the attack on any town summon ed the Spanish officer in command of each to surrender. In one case one of the officers SO summoned sent reply stating that the gar rison was not then quite ready to fight, and asked me would defer the attack for three hours. With this request I complied. It will be difficult to equal this method of warfare. The books have nothing to equal it. The idea of waiting three hours to give the enemy time to prepare for battle is something new in the history of war. And yet it seems that the courteous in surgent is d fighter. He has won victory after victory and has prac
 tically secured control of the island of Luzon, with the exception of the city of Manila. He is a rare combination of courtesy and chival- ry. Such men are capable of self government. no matter what their critics may say about them.-Mem- phis Commercial Appeal.

LETTER WHEAT DEAL.

Ii is the always unexpected that happens. Not long since 1t was given out that MT. Letter had clear ed his millions in his immense wheat deal, had purchased mag nifeent steam yacht and would re- tire from the wheat pit indefinite ly.
 Now it appears that he not only has not cleared millions, but has lost more than $7 .ooo, ,ooo, and the closing up of the deal is i'll the hands of trustees. From the po- sition of "king of the wheat pit" he passes to the role of vassal. Thus "riches take to themselves wings and flee away"
 The whole deal is a practical demonstration of the principle that he who violates the law of supply and demand violates the fundamen- tai law of trade and must inevita- bly, pay the penalty. It also goes to show that no one man nor set of men can long dictate the com merce of the world in any given line and come out whole. As well might they hope to dictate as to the ebb and flow of the tide.
 There is only one class that has universally profited by the Letter deal and that is the farmer. It has enabled him to sell his grain at figure that has cancelled his mortgages, and he is now in q po- stion to further improve his land and provide himself and family with the necessaries and even the luxuries of life. In this way 1t has been a blessing. and so is not with out its compensations.- epublic.

fessional career the college man should remember that someone will dispute every inch of prog ress made, and that 1t will be largely a question of the surviv- al of the Attest. He should be content to begin at the begin ming, and not seek to start where others have left off. He should lay the foundation. of life's career broad and deep, and in doing so should not be in too much of a hurry. Rome was not built in q day, and the perma- nencv of any business or pro fession is usually commensurate with the time spent in laying the foundation.
 Another important factor in success is faithfulness and ef- ficiencv. It is still true that whatever is worth doing IS worth doing well. An apparently small defect may count for little at the time, but it's undermining influence grows with the years. No mistake is too insignificant for correction, and mistakes should not be repeated. Every step should be step forward, and at times 1t is well to burn the bridge behind you Atten- tion to the foregoing maxims
 will save many a college grad

COM IMPEACHMENT SEASON.

The annual college commence nIent season is at hand and thous ands of young men and women are saving good-hy to their al ma mater and are entering upon the stern realities of life. Some already know from varied expe- rience what these realities are, but to many they will prove a revelation College life is more or less a sheltered life, and the student lives in a world all his own Gradua ton is, therefore. d real commencement, new be ginning, an initial step, in life's real battle.
 How important then that this step be taken alright. In some respects the college graduate is like the volunteer soldier. He is inspired by loyalty and hope, is eager for the fray, and in antici- patton of victorious conflict the flush ofvictory is upon his brow. But in point of fact he IS only raw, undiseiplined, unseasoned recruit, and knows little of the hardships ofcarnp life, and noth- ing otthe fatigue of the march or the onset of the enemy. It is on iy his commencement.
 One thing that comes to the col eSe graduate as a distant revela ton isthe smallcommercial value ot the golden-sealed, ribbon-be- decked diploma which he has re- seived. It IS far from being a magic wand. for the cold, matter ot-tact world Is not so much in- tereSted in where an applicant graduated as what he can do. It not untrequently occurs that col iege graduates are unable to pass a teacher examination for common school certificate, and cannot command $50 per month for their distinguished services

ARKANSAS.

Forty years ago the writer tray eled up and down in Arkansas, and then formed the opinion that some day, and that before long, that State would be one of the foremost agricultural and mining States in the Union. What was then needed, and badly needed, was transportation facilities. These facilities the State now has. and the transformation, though not complete. has been wonderful. Arkansas is yet d hunters paradise :, also the output of her fertile soil is building cities and converting

Persons who may beexposed to yellow fc- yer and others living in districts liable to be infected by it will find that timely and intel ligent preparation is the best means of keep ing this dreaded maladY out of the family Sanitary regulations in the household are of the first importance. Clean up all refuse matter, decaying vegetation or eesspools. Drain off ponds, pools and sinks. Burn vegetable offal from the kitchen. Eat noth- ing but light, wholesome and easily digested food, avoiding green or over-ripe fruits and vegetables. Lastly, be sure that the blood, stomach and bowels of every member of the ties in the system. such as indigestion, con stipation, torpid liver, invite disease to enter the body, and in case of yellow fever, rem ders its progress more virulent and deadly. This condition can be speedily removed Hd pure blood, good digestion and regularity in the bowels re-established by using Pricsly Ash Bitters, the great System Regulator.

 Capt. Waddell. commander of the Shenandoah, was d thorough master of his profession and had a gallant crew, both officers and men. One of his lieutenants was neph- CIV of Gen. Robert F. Lee. and several of his crew had served on the Alabama.
 The most rigid scrutiny of his conduct, while commanding, fails to disclose an instance in which he transgressed the rules of civilized warfare or did aught to bring dis credit upon his nation or his flag. Even those who were SO unfortu- nate as to fall into his power bear testimony to the humane treat ment they received at his hands.
 When sectional hate shall have really died away and historians write with some regard for truth, Waddell's name will be placed among the naval heroes of the ape-Ft. Smith Elevator.

THE OREGON'S RUN.

An eXChange { name loFgotton) publishes the following
 The Oregon has just completed the largest run of any war vessel on record. It started on its trip of 15. .ooo miles, over half the dis tanee around the globe. on March 22, making the trip to Key West in about two months.
 The Oregon made d long and truly gallant run, and one that will ever have a place in nautical histo- ", and we believe it surpasses any feat accomplished by q war-ship of late days. The British steamer Bellerophon last year made a run from Portsmouth, England, to- Canton, China, distance of I2,- 6oo miles. This was considered a wonderful feat. and such 1t really was, but it fell short of the Ore gon record 100 miles.
 But there was once d war-ship that made record in run which surpassed that of either the Oregon or Belerophon. That vessel was the Confederate ship Shenandoah, commanded by Captain James l. Waddell. Her last run, commenced when her commander learned of the collapse of the Confederacy, began in the North Pacific Ocean and ended in the River Mersev, of Liverpool, England, covering d distance of 1000 miles without a stop. Most of this run was made under sail, the supply of coal being limited on account of the unfriend- lv attitude of the nations of the earth toward the Confederacy, and the difficulty of obtaining coal from tenders or supply ships in the wa ters where most of the Shenandoahs cruising was done.
 This record has never been beat en. Indeed. 1t has never been equalled.
 The Shenandoah had truly wonderful career. She was origi- nally an English merchant vessel, and had both steam and sail pow CT. Her speed was only ordinary and her ornament light Her original owners sold her, privately, to the Confederate government at an exorbant price (the Confedera cy was SO pressed for ships at that time that her agents were glad to buy them at any price), and sur reptitiously ran her out to sea, where her guns and stores were placed aboard her. When she was put in commission on the high seas her crew (exclusive of otficerS) numbered but twenty-three men. This number was afterwards in creased. however. by enlistmentS from the crews of vessels which she captured, tine recruits coming from that class of sailors who are ''citizens of the world at argeN and who are ever as ready 10 sail under one flag aS another.
 The Shenandoah was in com mission thirteen months, about eight months of which she was actually cruising. During that time she captured thirty-eight ships Of these six were released on bond and thlrty-two destroyed. First and last she sailed entirely around the world and carried her flag six months after Lee surren- der at Appomattox. Her last gun was fired in the Arctic ocean on June =, 1865. On the second of the following August she over hauled q British bark, from which she learned that the Confederacy was thing of the past Her crew was then disarmed, her gurs run ill and her ports closed, and her
