tious old darkey, and with an extreme

Dewey to a faith IN the danger Of

would never bite human being. The
Halter point was long in controversy
| between them,
| One day Dewey was sent ashore in

| He had on, as usual, frock coat with
very long tails, such as all naval Of

to orders, he hurried back, the sloop
! being on the point of getting under
weigh, and as he sat in the stern of
! the skiff, hiSScoat tails trdiled in the
water. Just as the dingey was on the
! point of reaching the vessel, a shark
rose to the surface-perhapS attracted
| by the gilt buttons on the coat-tails
| aforesaid-and. bit off the starboard
side of the lieutenant's after uniform.
Dewey jumped to his feet and, we'll
satisfied under the circumstances to
relinquish his coat-tail, ran UP the side
of the ship. The doctor" who had
viewed the proceedings from the rail
of the vessel, approached him presently
with a grin of the utmost width. "Ah,
/ ha" he said, taking advantage of the
| familiarity customarily allowed him on
board. Perhaps, Massa Dewey, yo'
b'lieve now dat sharks won't bite a
pusson. Whar' yo' coat-tail, Ell?

with his habitual sangfroid, has been
removed by an act of Providence"

in the land through the medium of a
famous Autograph. Kuhlwein laughed.
THE shooting of the forward guns
on the Olympia" said lie, was done
by Patrick Murray, a white man, and
John Jordan, negro. There was no
Jim Hickey on the ship. so far as
know, and certainly no gunner of that
name There was man in the for
ward turret named Phillips, who looked
little like the Jim Hickey picture,
and who would have handled one of
the guns had not Murray and Jordan
been better marksmen. Phillips is and
was then an excellent seaman gunner,
with a highly creditable score for
workmanship, but Murray and Jor-
dan were the best shots 81 the ship,
and so the handling of the big guns
was given to them. 1t was Murray,
so it is claimed, who sent the famous
best shot of the engagement straight
through the Reina Christina from end
to end when she was coming directly
toward the Olympia.
oddly enough, Phillips, who had
charge of the turret, is fat, good-na-
tured fellow, whose face resembles that
of the mythical Jim Hickey face some
what, but the partial likeness was
nothing more than az lucky stroke. III

Mr.. Kuhlwein was a member of the
Olympia's crew when she was put in
commission, and he remembers very
we'll the hue and cry that was raised
about the ship in the first year or two
of her service. 1t was then that some
of the newspapers printed long articles
about her, in which she was called
'the white SLAYER of the new navy.
Her accommodations were declared to
be bad: she was cramped, unpleasant
and unhealthy. She came near getting
as bad a name, in way, as the Texas
had when she was known as the hoodoo
ship.
Those who were on the Olympia al
that time will never forget the cir
cumstances of her redemption. II

ship that her officers and crew after

Dewey at His Best.
when did Dewey seem at his best
TO us who were at Manila with him?
All the time. Dewey was never any
thing but at his best, yet l have three
special memories of him when he was
at better than his best.
while / was on deck trying to get
that torpedo in shape for the Spaniards,
/ saw him on top Of the chart house,
in the most exposed place he could pos
sibly- find, directing the proceedings.
Uncle George was well worth seeing
then.
after the battle was over and we
knew we had the Spaniards licked, he
was so happy his face fairly shone
when he thanked the men of the
Olympia for their part in the fight.
He was pretty well stirred up then,
tell you, and so was everybody else,
and the cheers we gave him just lift
ed us off our feet.
''Dewey's face shone again the day

well that day, but the arrival of the
transports made him better Some
time later a boat brought a cablegram
TO the Olympia. Soon after he had
read it, all hands were called on deck
We expected something highly import
ant, but We couldn't guess what. We'd
never seen Dewey so stirred up but
once before, and we knew him too well
not TO be certain that he had great
news. de must have seen that We were
eager, and guess he was willing to
make us wait a little. He looked out
upon us and smiled a halleluiah smile.
and then he said:

town and the various associations that
now was their chance to make good
impression. His advice WAS received
with enthusiasm by all. by none more
so than the parlor of the Native Sons
of the Golden State. an imitation in
yellow of the white organization OF
similar name. 1t is made up of native
born sons of subjects of his Chinese
majesty. They jumped at the chance
and set to work with will. They
spent money right and left, encourag-
ing others by their example to do like
wise.
The result must have exceeded their
expectations. although the" say it is
nothing to what they can do now that
they know that their efforts will not
be frowued upon. 1t absolutely dazed
the American beholder and paled into
comparative significance everything
else in line.
The very position the Chinese page
ant held in the procession aided great
" to heighten the effect. As was usual.
the despised race was given the fag
end of the line. to which place the pow
erty of their former displays had Ger
tainly pointed them out. The conse-
Guence was that, after the spectators
had watched the moving mass OF SOL
diers and sailors, gay coated bands,
native sons in regalia, cadets In natty
uniforms, sQuadrOns of cavalry and
batteries of artillery they were fully
prepared to believe that the best or 1t
had passed. They were tired of stand
inc crowded almost Surfeited and nom
receptive They heard the squeakings
of the approaching Chinese clarinets
and they prepared to have their teeth
set on edge with the sounds. and their
eyes assaulted with the sight of nom
descript piftailed procession.
The vanguard passed and with 1t the
M the SDpCtatOrS. Once again
they were on the qui vive, as when the
head of the parade hove into sight. A
revelation in color and glory had sud-
denly burst upon their vision, the work
of Magician Ho Vow. Stalwart bear
ers carrying a gorgeous silken carpet,
preceded the native sons in costly blue
and pleasing violet, in gorgeous cap
and buslxin Next came. still more gaily
clad dignitaries on horseback, follow
il . long trailing dragon flags, then
others and others; groups OF soldiers,
troops of runners, floats rallied in with
heavy carvings of ebony and ivory.
upon which were the baby flowers of
Chinese families, arrayed in holiday
garb of SurpasSing richness. More war
riOrs with strange banners, more car
pets more flags trailed past then came
the fantastically dressed actors and
Shintu priests, in palanqulns. with
, coolies staggering under the weight of
portabl shrines: more bands, more
warriors and then the great dragon,
rampant, Writhing, menacing, like one
of those figures that mark the end Of
a highly illuminated novel 1t, too.
marked the end of a gorgeous moving
tale.
And so the Chinese procession passed
in all it's kalaidNecOpic beauty-passed
into history as the most wonderful pa
geant ever seen on the streets of SaI

part in the procession that
marked the recent Fourth Of July ceIe-
bration. In point Of numbers they were
not the strongest turnout in the line,
but, spectacularly, they We're far and
away, above every other, the most
magnificent body. The people OF this
city do not as a rule go into raptures
over things Celestial, but as the pig
tailed paraders passed in review. in all
the glory Of rich trapping and bold
color. expressions Of admiration were
forced from every lip along the route.
For a moment, at any rate. as the
slangy have it, the Chinese We're il.
on previous occasions, when the ma
tiVes Of The FlOWery Kingdom were
asked to participate in public specta-
cles-which asking was rare-they took
part in d shy, tentative sort of way.
Long years Of 1eighboring with the
citizens Of San Francisco had taught
them the lesson that the more they
kept to themselves the better off they
We're. The consequence was. always,
when they turned out in parade, they
were few in numbers and poor in show.
This year, how different! 1t seemed
as if some modern Aladdin had rubbed
his lamp and there had issued out Of
the squalor Of the little China above
Kearny street a procession OF genu
bearing precious gifts.
1t was wonderful, but no Aladdin
had brought it about Ho Vow, Con-
sui General Of his imperial Chinese
Majesty, was the magician that ef-
fected the transformation and made
the procession possible. He rubbed no
battered lamp as did his countryman
in the wondrous tale. but he did the
things that a sensible man must do in
this waning nineteenth century to
bring about desired results He put
his shoulder to the Wheel-which would
be considered Undignified for man OF
his station if the posture wasn't merely
MISUNDERSTANDING the Chinese pro-
cessiOn began to move. That was all
the magic there was in it, but the re-
suit was just as wonderful, as far as
San Franciscans are concerned, as II
ell the genii of all the Arabian tales
had been summoned to the task.
Knowing the predictions Of his
countrymen as he did. HO Vow had not
such a difficult task as one might sup
pose The Celestials, above everything
else, love procession. It is about all
the enjoyment they have outside of fan
