THE DEWEY MEDAL.

iel G. French, Harper's Weekly is able
to publish the first authentic repro
duction of his completed design for the
Dewey medal. The Tiffany company

Upon the diverse is q lifelike pre-
sentiment of the head of Commodore
Dewey, with the following inscription:
'The gift of the people of the United
States to the officers and men of the
Asiatic Squadron under the command
of Commodore George Dewey" Upon
the reverse, surrounded by the words,
''In memory of the victory of Manila
Bay, May /, 1898, " is the figure a young
sailor, stripped to the waist, who sits
upon gun, with the flag across his
knees, and one foot resting upon a
swinging loop of rope. In this beduti-

AS citizen, he was identified with
every movement designed to advance
the good morals, intelligence and COM
mercial interests Of his town. 1t was
in social life he stood almost peerless.
A man of deep convictions, and un-
yielding when principle was involved;
he maintained his convictions without
being offensive to others. This happy
characteristic enabled him to move in
social life without meeting any one to
whom he could not give the right-hand
of cordial fellowship. And who, in our
midst, ever dispensed more Of the sun
shine of genuine friendship, than he?
He had a great fund of humor, but it
was never coarse or painful.
In Masonry, he reached the Royal
Arch degree, and there was loved by
his companions.
Captain Reeves, as lawyer, was big
Drained, clear headed, thoughtful and
honest; he never forgot that the law
was an honorable profession intended
to promote justice True to his client;
yet he sought to aid the court in reach
ing just conclusion, and never allow
ed his zeal for his client to tempt him
to trickery to gain advantage. As an
advocate, he was clear, logical and full
OF force and eloquence Of earnestness.
If it is defect, then he had the defect
OF being too conscientious to urge
proposition that did not have the full
assent of his own reason. While he
maintained with earnestness and zeal
the canse of his clients, he never de-
scended to personalities.
He was dignified and respectful to-
ward the court, and always showed a
cordial good feeling and manly courte-
sy toward the bar. He bore his own
defeats without petulence or the exhi-
bition of disappointment, and never
exulted over the defeats of his oppo-
nents.
Captain Reeves was broad man; he
was clean man; he was reliable
man; he was good man; he was an
honest man.
Resolved 1st. That in the death of
Captain I. i. Reeves the Tennessee bar
has lost one of its most worthy mem
bers; the state noble and useful citi-
zen; and society and the church, kind
benevolent, Christian gentleman.
Resolved I'd, That we heartily unite
with his many friends in extending our
coincidence and most cordial sympathy
to the widow and family of our de-
ceased brother
Resolved 30. That, with a view of
perpetuating this tribute of respect for
our friend and associate, we present
this memorial and these resolutions to
the Chancery Court now in session and
request that they be spread upon its
minutes, and that the Secretary Of this
meeting furnish copy of the same to
the family of the deceased.

Dangers of the Grip.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe we have yet to

in pneumonia which shows conclusive
ly that this remedy is a certain pre-
ventive of that dangerous disease. II

may picture it to have been on that
memorable morning, and also the spirit
of the country on whose behalf it was
going into action. The chief charac-
teristic of the face is youth the beau
ty, confidence, and pure intention of
youth. In the pose of the figure are
alertness, fearless uprightness, and the
unconscious grace and composure Of
assured strength. The very disposi-
tion of the flag is suggestive. The mo
ment represented is not the one Of vic
tory, but of preparedness thereto. The
flag is not menace to the world, nor
under the pretext of its name is poll
cy of aggrandizement foreshadowed. It
is safe in the keeping of Young Ameri-
ca, and when the cause is right it will
be uplifted.
Its placing in the circle secures an
admirable balance between the varied
portions and fiat ones very enjoyable
| to the eye. The strong horizontal bar
formed by the cannon, low down in the
space, lifts up the 1.-THE figure of the
youth, and gives it dignity and sense
of size very difficult TO obtain in so
small compass. Again the poise of
that foot upon the rope observe how
exquisitely sensitive it isl-brings into
the narrow space at the bottom an in
terest and distinction which make it
contribute to the decoration of the
whole. Lastly the whole possesses that
quality which is such charm of low
relief "enveloppe" as the sculptors
call it. Atmosphere is perhaps, our
nearest English word; the pattern OF
the decoration is not one merely ol
! light and dark, but Of several degrees
of light and several degrees of dark, as
if viewed through varying planes ol
atmosphere. The result is, though,
not hard and gritty, but luminous,
rich, and yelYety. y.-Harper's Weekly

Reports received by Florida's Conn
missioner Of Agriculture indicate that
the freezing of Monday and Tuesday
last week was less destructive to oranges
andother crops than the blizzard Of Feb
ruary, '95. The line Of killing freeze is at
least fifty miles farther north than that
of 1895. While early vegetables have
been killed, orange trees are not seri-
ously injured. The damage to the fresh
growth fruit will be soon repaired in
the peninsular part of the State.

FOOT BALL PROSPECTS.
Harvard Will Have Most of Her Star
Players of Last Year.

Cambridge, Sept. ia week from to-
day the vanguard of the Harvard foot
ball forces will begin the fall campaign
on Soldiers field, under the direction of
Capt. Burden and Head Coach Dibblee
The large number of players expected
out next Monday will have, therefore,
nearly two weeks training before an
eleven will be chosen to meet the VIII
liams college team, which is usually an
aggressive and plucky one, Saturday, the
18th, the day after college opens.
In all probability the squad which re-
ports for the first day of preliminary
practice will be larger than ever before
If possible, Mr.. Forbes will probably
come out to watch the work and assist
Dibblee by advice and suggestion during
the latter's first few days in his new po-
sition. In addition a score of graduate
coaches for the various positions in the
line and for the backs are expected to
help in the coaching. Between 40 and 10
candidates for the eleven are expected
out at first, and all will come to Cam
bridge in good condition, as, in accord
ance with the custom since summer prac-
tice was given up.
The practice of the first two DAYS will
consist of running for wind, passing, fall
ing on the ball, etc BY Wednesday the

outset at least nine men who are known
to be among the best players in the coun-
try in their respective positions, Jaff

be missed from the line, and Dibblee from

BROWN AND WILLIAMS.
Dartmouth Foot Ball Squad Training
to Defeat Those Colleges.

Hanover, n. H, Sept. 11.-Dartmouth's
football season opens Sept. 80. and from
now on Capt. Wentworth will keep the
candidates hard at work. All candidates
were ordered to report today for the first
preliminary practice on the college
campus, and while the college year does
not open for some time Capt Wentworth
realizes that this is to be the most i'm
portant year in Dartmouth athletics and
proposes to get in work early in the day.
The men should be in good condition for
the preliminary work, and the individual
players have been working during the
summer, each having been given fort
night for that purpose.
Former Capt. Mccormack will be with
the team this week, and Coach Wintem-
bury, who has handled the candidates for
so that the men viii have superior coach
ing throughout the season. Manager Nc
Davitt says this years team will be light,
but he expects a strong eleven. Crolius
and Edwards are the only men lost from
last year. Several strong preparatory
school players have expressed their in
tention of entering Dartmouth. In the
year will center in the Yale, Harvard,
Brown and Williams games. 1t has for
several years been Dartmouth's ambition
to beat Brown in football. If she can do
so this year. after having won the base
ball games from her, she will be salts
fed. Williams will try hard to defeat
Dartmouth this year, owing to old tri-
collegiate memories. The Yale game will
be played on the Newton Athletic Club
grounds.

a matter of local and general politics.
The local conditions in the 18th assem-

STRUCK BYATRoLLEY CAR

West Brookfield Sept. 11.-Edward
Black who resides on the Braintree
road, was struck by a car on the Spen-
Ger, Warren and Brookfield road tonight
and sustained a compound fracture OF
the leg. The accident occurred near
what is known as the Jennings place,
shortly before s o'clock, and the car
men were in no way to blame for the
accident.
Motorman Bemis was on the front
end of the car, and when near the
jennings place discovered a dark OBJ
ject lying beside the track. He brought
his car to standstill as quickly as
possible, but could not prevent contact
with the object, which proved to be Ed
ward Black.
1t seems that Black was on his way
home, and had, among other things, a
quantity of whisky. In some manner
he fell or lay down beside the car
tracks, and one of his legs reached over
across the outside of the rail. The for
ward part of the car struck the leg,
causing the fracture. 1t is considered
miracle that Blacks leg was not sew
cred.
The injured man was cared for by
DR.. Fred w. Cowles, assisted by DR..
Deland, and the fracture reduced. The
injured limb is in bad shape, and am
putation may be necessary.
