Exit Dewey.
StateSville Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
Old Man Dewey is shifting
and whining on account of the
flood of criticism which is fall
ing upon him because he
decided to his wife the house
which was recently given to
him. and thereupon, after the
storm broke, the madam
decided the house to the old
mans son. Dewey says he
never would have believed that
the people who were making
so much of him only a few
days ago could so soon turn
around and say such mean
things about him, all of which
shows that the admiral NAV
be a very capable naval officer

hut he doesn't know human
nature. But the whole bust
ness has been in horrible
taste. There was, first, too
much soldering over Dewey
when he came home. He
played his part we'll at Manila
and we are not of those who
would detract one iota from
the record of his splendid SER
vices there and the glory and
renown to which he is justly
entitled.
But he is evidently not made
of the stuff that can fulsome
adulation, and the glory bust
ness was overdone when he
came home. Then he did a
foolish and unwise thing when
he accepted the house which
a lot of sentimental people had
bought for him by subscrip-
ton, but if he had taken the
gift. and stopped there even
that might have been forgot
ten. But instead he showed
unseemly haste in accepting
it and had the cheek to ask
that it be furnished. Then,
to show what a bloomin' goose
he could make of himself, he
turned round and decided the
house to his wife, who was a
wealthy woman in her own
right. Now the storm has
burst and the admiral is very
much hurt. He is so dis
gusted that he intimates that
he wouldn't have any more
old houses ifthey were handed
to him on a silver waiter, and
intimates that he may go on
the retired list and leave the
country.
Well, let him go. It's a
pity that a man with such an
excellent naval record should
make a fool of himself in his
old days, but that's just what
Dewey has done and the soon
er he drops out of sight the
better for him and the public.

Mothers Friend

does expectant mothers so much
good is because it is an external liniment,
to be applied upon the outside, where
much Of the strain ome 1t helps be-
cause the pores Of the skin readily absorb
it, and it comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished,
and nervousness is kept completely away.
The sense Of dread and foreboding is not
experienced, even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and almost without
pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best
OF all, Mothers Friend benefits the
unborn just as much as the expectant
mother, and when the little one comes il

The good news published in The

details Of the plan were known i'll this

assured, but letters have since been
received from Hon A. T.. Babcock,
dated at New York last Friday, giving
the particulars, one letter being in
part as follows:
The Billings family, in the name
of Frederick Billings, who was at Bill
ings last in 1897 in company with Mr..
S. E. Kilner, trustee of the Billings
estate, have, after looking into the
matter carefully and being assured that
their kindness will be appreciated, de-

This committee will be expected to rep
resent the estate, or Mr.. Frederick
Billings, and hope that each Of them
lin fact everyone of our citizens-will
take an interest in this matter. It is
certainly a very nice thing for the
Billings family to do. They will,
however, I. am sure. derive much
pleasure i'll thus erecting an enduring
monument to the memory of their son
and brother, Parmly, who has many
friends in the city bearing their name. !"
The Gazette can assure the Billings
family that not only the members of
the committee selected to carry out
their wishes, but every man, woman
and child in the city is already deeply
interested in the movement. public

city, has been talked Of for years and
will be made an institution Of which

Billings Should Have Separate Tele-
graph Once. #

Billings Should Have u Separate Tele-
.t graph Office.
Billings has reached that stage when
a telegraph office in the center Of the
business portion of the city is needed.
The business of the Western Union Tel
egraph company is surely sufficient to
justify them in conducting separate
office from that connected with the rail-
roads, and we believe that if the matter
was rightly agitated that it could be
secured
1t is fact too we'll known that mat
ters Of great importance have often
been delayed at this office. owing to
the amount Of railroad telegraph work
that seems to keep the operators doubly
busy Besides this, the Office is in an
undesirable location, not easily access
sible, and often crowded with railroad
employees. The present corps Of opera
tors is worked like slaves and it is no
wonder that poor service is given the
patrons. By all means let us have an
uptown telegraph Office.

At st. Luke's Episcopal church last
Sunday there We're very large congre-
cations at both morning and evening
services Oh the occasion Of the official
visit Of the bishop Of Montana, Right
Rev. Leigh Richmond Brewer. The
morning service consisted Of the Lit
any, after which the bishop adminis-
tered the rite uf confirmation to class
of seven, delivering an earnest and
touching address to those who had
just been confirmed. The music by
the surpliced choir was very fine and
Miss Denham sang with exquisite taste
the offertory solo, "The Holy City. /"
The bishop preached the sermon at
each service. and they were both able
and impressive discourses. In the
evening the choir was assisted by an
orchestra. which played beautifully
during the taking up of the offertory.
Bishop Brewer is greatly beloved by
all classes Of our citizens and his pres
ence here is always sufficient to attract

is very loose in his training. and that he will
surely be whipped by Jim Jeffries whom they

the admirers OF Jeffries. not one Of them
would nibble The odds on the result re-
manned the same. and Fitz's friends had
all they could do to get down their lucre ut

that the battle would be for twenty rounds. the
announcement In THE Sun Of yesterday that
