Dewey all Right.

The story comes from Manila t hat
Admiral Dewey recently found stat
Miss Thompson. a young lady who was
a newspaper correspondent, was being
suubbed by the wives of the officers Of
the fleet because she earned her liv-
ing.
Admiral Dewey undoubtedly has a
sense Of humOr a. well as many other
things that 90 to make up a capable
officer ana charming man. He evident
ly smiled, perhaps in an amused way
at first, then 4 little grimly and ironi-
cally. When it came to his ears that the
wives Of his subOrdinates had entered
into acru5hing social ring to Ostgacize
and ~fer-ecute the newspaperwoman,
To see the point was to act.
Mss Thompson had m unexpected
visitor the next da., Admiral Dewey
sent up hi card. He paid a long call.
He and Miss Thompson found much
that was interesting to talk about. In
the rnjoyment Of their talk they were
apparently obliviOus that the rest OF
the Oriental Hotel mad gorc mad. The
world had quite come to an end iD the
teai otdi7tlict, with It's self-righteou-
ideas Of the fitness Of things. The ad-
miral had called on d wOrkingwOman.
They were made to appear in the
wrong. Perhaps it is better to draw d
vel! over the subsequent waillng and
admiral character and remarkable
guashing of teeth, the tears and rage
of the wOuld-be leaders Of Manila
society.
But Dewey was enthusiastically re
lentless. He rubbed in the lesson ht
had given. He asked Miss Thompson
if he might lunch with her the mex
day, and again the whole Oriental Ho
tel knew it and was afame.
The oma who had been humiliatet
by the pettiness Of petty people wa
honored by a great man. And no on
can doubt that behind the iron com
mander, with the eye of an eagle, tn
brain of lightning and the will of steel
there exists the very tender heart of
gentleman of the old school.

Anthony in Humboldt.

The recent advance i'll autimony ought

Postal Contract Sharks Cared.

A provision was inserted in the
Postofice appropriation bill during
the last hours OF the late Congress by
which bidders for star route contracts
are required to reside contiguous to
the routes on which the bids are made.
This is one of the most wholesome re-
strictions that the Government has
eve placed upon star route bidders.
1t has been the rule that irresponsible
Companies in the eastern states have
bid for star route contracts in Nevada
and other Western states aud Terri
tories at prices for which the service
can not be performed, and then sublet
them to people on the routes, under
false pretenses, and the sub goes

such deals make handsome money all
