VISITORS to the government depart
ments other than the State, War and
Navy, see not the slightest signs Of
war. Business is moving along with
its usual clock.like regularity in the
Treasury, the Department of Justice,
of Agriculture, the Post Office and the
Interior. which includes the Patent
Pension, and Land Offices. About the
only difference noticed in any of these
Offices on account of the war is in the
Patent Office, where the applications
for patents show that much of the in
ventive genius of the country is work
ing upon war-like ideas. Nobody hav-
ing or expecting to have business with
any government department need feel
the slightest uneasiness on account of
the war. 1t will not have any effect

Dewey. the Hero of Manila

Commodore George Dewey, who fig
ured valiantly in the fight off Manili
hsrbor, is one of the most gallant of
fcers in the American navy. He was {
hero of the Civil War, but only those
whose memories reach back to the big
days of 61-'65 will recall him. For the
past thirty years or more he has beer
serving his country on the seas, and at
the various land stations and works oi
the navy, and has been in the public
eye but little. 1t required the alarm
of war to bring him with bound to
the very pinnacle OF conspicuity. The
commander of the Asiatic squadron is
quiet man, who impresses one with
anything but the sturdy heroism and
intense patriotism that are wrapped up
within his calm exterior. He is no
theoretical fighter. In his youth, after
his liberation from the tolls of Ann
apolis, he was Lieutenant on board
the steam frigate Mississippi-the
brave ship that carried the colors of
of another hero-the immortal Perry.
The Mississippi was shattered with
Confederate explosives in the great
river for which it was named. 1t did
not give up until it was beaten to
pieces. Lieutenant Dewey stuck to
his guns until the last. and he did not
quit the vessel until he went with the
Captain after all others had got out of
the destruction. Admiral Porter sig
nailed out he7youthful Lieutenant for
special praise. He spoke of him in
words that are the sweetest reward
that an officer can be given-above
wealth or fame, or above even promo
tion. But promotion came promptly
for the gallant young sailor. In 1865
he was Lieutenant Commander.
The year after the close of the war
he served on the Kearsarge, attached
to the European station. On being as
signed to shore duty he was ordered to
the Naval Academy, and later to the
command of the Narragansett on spec
ialservice. On being promoted he was
again sent to this ship, and after serv-
ing on lighthouse inspection duty was
made Secretary of the Lighthouse
Board. In 1882 he commanded the
Juniata, and soon after the end of this
cruise was advanced to the rank of
Captain. A year later he became Cap
tain of the Dolphin, one of the frst
ships of the new navy, and for three
years, from 1885 until 1888, he was a.
command Of the flagship PensacolaIb6n
the European station. On the sK2ira-
tion of his cruise he was made Chief of
Bureau of Equipment, where he served
until 1898, when he became mem Der
of the Lighthouse Board.
AS Commander he was stationed in
the Asiatic squadron, of which he is
now the master. and in 1884, he was
lifted to the rank of Captain, which
was to be soon followed blythe uni
form of Commodore. He knows the
waters of the earth well, and has ever
stood high with the authorities at
Washington. The Commodore is
vermonter. and is not yet 60 years old.
