A ramona spnnIsh Fleet.


As Spain is looming above our hor'
lion with the prows of her war ships
turned toward this hemisphere, the
fact is recalled that last summer l saw
in London two great rust eaten iron
anchors. The attached card read:
"These anchors, exhumed from the
bottom of the North Sea, belong to
the Spanish armada, which, destroyed
by British warships and by the winds
and waves of heaven, was there sunk
in 1888"
No permanent settlement had at that
time been made by English-speaking
people in what is now the United
States. But Spain mad taken from
Mexico and Peru vast quantities Of
gold torn from Montezuma and the In
cas-. This gold helped build the Span
ish armada sent to subdue England and
to establish Spanish rule upon its
ruins. But in the eternal councils
there were other purposes, touching not
only the mother country, but our own
destiny as a nation, for had England
been conquered Spain would probably
have settled north as well as South
America.
In these days of counting warships
it is of interest to note that the Eng
lish feet numbered but eighty poorly
equipped vessels little bigger than the
yachts of our time, against the 142 for
midable Spanish vessels of the armada,
representing the most perfect naval
equipment then known. In spite OF
such disparity the plucky English fleet
sank Spanish ship after ship as they
drove the mighty armada before them
into the North sea, where storms COM
pleted it's destruction.
81 sent my ships against men," said
Philip, when the news reached him,
land not against the seas" In nobler
tone England owned her debt to the
storm that drove the armada to it's
doom. On the medal that commemor-
ated her triumph were craven the
words: 1.-THE Lord sent His wind and
scattered them" The pride Of the
conquerors was hushed before this
sense of mighty deliverance.
1t was soon after this defeat Of
Spain that England began to explore"
the American continent. She at once
began to rob and plumber just as had
Spain. Poor Indians were shot from
the mouths of British guns, and after
they had been driven from the eastern
coast the government of bibles and
rum" began to plumber it's own sub
jects. Then came the war which gave
us this great republic. May it ever be
free from any alliances with the coun-
try whose tyranny gave us birth.

boy who was disorderly WIS told 70
take his ssst. He did so, and seven OF
the big boys Joined him on his bench.
Then Dewey stepped up and coolly in
formed the teacher that they were
going to give him the best licking that
he had ever had"
Go to your seatl" commanded the
teacher, who was not so big a man"
physically as either OF the two boys
mentioned.
Dewey struck out, and the next In
slant the rawhide was playing catch
and-go all over him. The other big
gest boy" entered the fight, and was
promptly laid low with a blow from
one OF the hickory sticks. Dewey was
by this time lying upon the floor howl
Ing for quits" and the other boy lay
near him unconscious. The rebellion
was over, and Mr.. Pangborn had no
further trouble with that school.
He took Dewey home to his father,
and reported that he had brought him
his son somewhat the worse for wear,
but ready for school work"
Thank you," replied DR.. Dewey, 81
guess George will not give you any
more trouble. He will be at schoor to-
morrow"
The father Of the other boy tried
to get warrant for the arrest of the
schoolmaster, but there was not a
magistrate in the county who would
issue one. They said that If anybody
had been found who could govern that
school he was the man for the place.
Young Dewey remained at school. He
soon became good scholar, and, under
his friends tuition, fitted for the An
napolis academy. Years after these
events he was wont to visit Major
Pangborn at his home in Boston,
where the former teacher was editor
of the old Atlas and Bee. On one Of
these visits he said to him. II shall
never cease to be grateful to you. You
made a man Of me. But for that
thrashing you gave me I should prob
ably now be in the state prison. I"
Dewey was at this time young lieu
tenant in the navy, and chum OF Ma
1or Pangborn's brother, who was also
a young naval officer The two spent
much time at Major Pangborn's home,
and he always speaks OF Dewey as tone
Of his boys" and is naturally proud
of him.

Dewey's First Battle and defeat.

Dewey's First Battle and Defeat.
The following incident in the early
New England school life of Commo-
dore Dewey is taken from the New
York Sun:
Early in the sos, when Dewey was a
boy, Major 2. X. Pangborn, now a resi-
dent Of New Jersey, and for thirty
years the editor Of the Evening Jour
nal Of Jersey City, being then fresh
from college, undertook the manage
ment Of district school at Montpe-
lier, vt. The school had been in re-
bellion for long time, and the boy
Dewey was the leader of the anti
teacher brigade. Several previous
teachers had been removed" one had
been stood upon his head in a snow
bank, and it was generally said at
Montpelier that nobody could govern
that school.
When Mr.. Pangborn appeared at
school the first day of the session he
noticed Dewey up a tree throwing
stones at small boys. He told him
quietly that he must stop that. The
reply was that the teacher could Ego
to- the place reserved for a certain
class Of departed mortals, and Dewey
did not come down. School went
smoothly that day, but there were in
dications that showed the teacher that
trouble was coming. So he provided
himself with a nice rawhide whip,
which he tucked away over the door,
and then placed several sticks of good
hickory on the top Of the pile in the old
Roodbox.

THE following from the Philadel-
phia Times shows that other cities be-
sides our own are talking about small
pox:
The discovery of few cases of small
pox in single house in this city fur
nishes no cause for alarm or disquiet-
ude. The cases have all been isolated
at the municipal hospital, the house
qusrantined and disinfected and the
chances are of the best that the infec-
tion will not extend beyond those al
ready exposed. Thanks to the effect
i've measures enforced by the depart
ment of public safety this city has been
without a single case of small pox for
more than two years, and the rigid
enforcement of sanitary measures can
be depended upon to stamp out the dis
ease without permitting q. its further
spread now that q few imported cases
have been discovered.

general opinion appearing to be that
the rightful SCORE at Cambridge was

to six, as the referee insisted. The
story goes that this official responded

Other aspirants for birthplace hon
ors are West Point, which tied Prince
ton, the Indians, who scored on Har-
ward, Pennsylvania and Yale, on Wes-
leysn, whose sturdy kickers rolled up
215 points to their opponents fifty-fOur.
West Points elk games do not seem to
entitie her to serious consideration, es-
pecislly as she scored on only one of
the "big fouE.'' The Indians, thanks
secured goals from the field in the
games with Yale, Harvard and Penn
sylvania, but were badly beaten by
Cornell and Pennsylvania. The
claims of Wesleyan are based on her
excellent showing against Yale five to
nothing), Pennsylvania (seventeen to
noth'ng) and Dartmouth (thirty-three
to five). But West Point beat her
badly and she did not play either Har-
ward or Princeton, +he strongest pair
of the year. For these reasons, and
because Brown shut out Dartmou ID,
though she did not roll up as large
score against the Hanover boys as Wes-
leysn, it seems as if Brown should be
counted ahead of the latter. Whether
she is entitled to fifth place instead
of Cornell is an open question. In
genious mathematicians at Provi-
dence easily figure out the precedence
for her, while at Ithaca such aFhowing
would very likely be regarded as alb
surd. At any rate, Brown stands we'll
up among the colleges. and next year
should make even better showing,
with careful graduate coaching, sup
plemented by some expert advice from
a Harvard, Yale or PrincetOpN coacb.
The season has been gratifyingly
free from rough playing and serious
injuries. OF course, many of the play
ers have been bruised and cut, and
some broken bones are recorded, but,
on the whole, football has made q de-
cided advance as q wholesome and COM
mendable autumn sport. The new rule,
counting five points for q touchdown
instead of four, has worked satisfsc-
torily, aud the play Of the champion
eleven has been notable for clean,
methods, as opposed to
the curious but not altogether eff
fective tricks of the past.

bond ordinances had to be published
thirty times. The order was given to
the Tribune; City Clerk Cstlin says he
thought the Tribune would print them
at the old contract rate. Mr.. Mckie
says there was no such understanding.
and as his contract had run out he die
not consider himself bound by its
terms. He says he SO informed Alder
man Robinson and Clerk Catlin short
ly after the bids were opened.
A mistake in the ordinance copy as
first given to the printer, says Mr..
McKie, compelled the city to insert
the ordinance thirty five times.
At the price bid by Mr.. McKie this
would cost the city 1925; the Times
would have charged S4SS; while the
HERALD, by long odds the best paper
of them all, would have done the work
for 1867.
Thus by accepting the BERALD'S
bid in the first place the city would
have saved S25S on this one transaction.
There is prospect that the city will
suffer even more heavily because of
this. The council did not pay Mr.. Nc
Kie's bill;.the city has nothing to show
that its claim for contract price on the
work is valid. The statute allows sew
enty five cents per inch for the first in
sertion and fifty cents per inch for each
subsequent insertion. This would am
cunt to S2662 so. This rate is less than
that charged by the Times for the
sidewalk ordinance, and not a
few competent attorneys think
that Mr.. McKie could collect the
larger amount from the city,
