Dewey In Excellent Health

Washington, April 5.-Admiral Van Rey-
zen, surgeon general of the navy, said to-
day that all the recent reports received
from Manila showed that Admiral Dewey
was in excellent health. The surgeon of
the Boston has recently arrived back from
the Manila station and the surgeon gener-
al specially inquired of him as to Admiral
Dewey's present health. The response was
most satisfactory, showing that from the
standpoint of a naval surgeon, closely
identified with the admiral. he was in as
scod health as could be expected in such a
climate.

appointed. But the most important COM
mittee of all was one on membership COM
posed of one member of each class since
1885, whose duty 1t is to look up the where
abouts of all of the old graduates of the
high school. what business they are in,
whether they are married and something of
their personal history. This committee
which was appointed by President Brad
ley, is as follows
Miss Mary E. Hewlett, '85; Mrs. e. Ehr-
man, nee Miss Minnie l. Hardman, '8e;
Miss Carrie Braun, 81; Miss Mary Rogan
49, Hugh Morrow. So; Miss Mary e. Ritten-
berry. '9o Miss Nina Strother. 81; Miss AL
Joseph N. Benners, o.; Miss Rebecca c.
Hamilton. 90: Miss Mary School, SO; Carl
Fox. 's7: Mis- Orrie Armstrong. 'ss.
The principal object of this assoc alton,
as with all alumni associations, is for tho
betterment and general welfare of the Bir-
mingham public schools In general and the
high school in particular. Another object of
the assoc alton is to preserve memorials of
the dead members, and to get records of
all the living ones.
1t Is proposed to hold a reunion at the
close of the present session of the school,
when a prominent member will be invited
to address the alumni, at a banquet to be
given on the same evening.
The high school has turned out about $50
graduates. many of whom have acquired
great success in business and professional
callings. The first class was graduated in
1884 and regularly every year since that
time
The alumni was organized some years
ago, and for time much interest was
manifested in the organization.
The reorganization will no doubt revive
interest among the members who will find
much pleasure in mingling with their school
day friends and comrades.

Since Lady Beresfords visit to this

Troy, the society gossips have beeen busy
telling tales of her early life and spinning
yarns that are fireside stories in Troy,
where this remarkable woman was born.
The daughter of Commodore Price of the
navy, little Lily Price found herself sur
rounded by the best society of Troy and
Washington, where her fathers commits
sons often took him, without the money
to enjoy society as she saw it.
In those days she used to admire her own
beauty, regarding It as something worship
full, calling for the highest qualities on the
part of its possessor She would never do
a mean action, feeling that 1t was beneath
the wonderful exterior which had been
given her to wear. Once she called herself
a pearl, and when reproved for 1t she said
that pearls were pure and Chritlike.
On one of her visits to Washington she
