who commanded Admiral Dewey's flag
ship al the battle of Manila. was to-day
designated for appointment as lieutenant
in the marine corps by President McKin-
ley.
Young Gridley is too old to enter Annap-
oils, and the only opening for him in the
navy lay in an appointment to the ma
rine corps, but he lacked the necessary
education, aud, worse than all, the money
Tor study. The boy was too modest to
tell anyone the situation, but Admirai
Dewey, who loved his father suspected IL
and decided to act. He determined to pay
the boys expenses while studying for the
lieutenancy
This morning he met young Gridley at
the White House and presented him to the
PRESIDENT. Admiral Dewey started to ex-
plain the situation, when the President
interrupted and said:
You and l, Admiral, will pay his ex-
penses in preparing for examination.
Ii he fails in the first examination l will
give him another chance. but l am sure
he will be ready when the time comes. -
AS Admiral Dewey and the young man

Old comrade:

penses and let me know what they are"

this morning said the Admiral "The
President has just agreed TO designate this
young man, son of Capt Grid1ey for
examination for lieutenancy in the ma
rine CORPS but he mas no money with
which to prepare himself for the examina-
ton" he continued. However. the
President and 1 are going to attend to
that, he added, locking at the son of his
old friend with a suspicious moisture in
his eyes.
Now" said the Admiral. as he turned
away, let the people of the country know
what sort of President they have"
Mr. Gridley's mother, the widow of the
gallant commander of the Olympia, is liv-
ing at Era, Pa. She is drawing a pen
sion of $50 a month, which her friends in
Congress will seek to have increased by
special act during the approaching ses-
sion.

Representative Hit of Illinois, who was
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs in the last Congress, and will prob
ably continue at the head of that com
miuee, is in favor of the laying of cable
between the United States and Hawaii
and then to the Philippines He expresses
the fear, however, that the same opposi-
ton which defeated the passage of a bill
in former Congress will appear again.
The foreign cable company which has
practical monopoly now of the business
via the Suez canal route, fought the bin
before. and they made good use of the
hesitancy on the part of certain people in
this country to vote a subsidy to the pro-
posed American company.
Mr. Hit says it is important that, the
United States should have direct COM
munication between Hawaii and the Phil
ippines, and hopes to see a bin to that
end passed during the coming session of
Congress.

SUED DIRECTORY PUBLISHER.
DIR. Susan A. ROope Objected to the
Term Applied to Her.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 29.-An interesting
and novel case was decided here to-day
in the law and equity court
The ]. L. Hill Printing Company, pub
fishers Of the city directory, were sued by
DR.. Susan A. Rope for $1,000 damages,
for libel in designating her in the direc-
tory as a midwife" The declaration al
legged that on account of such publication
DR.. Roope had been greatly prejudiced in
her credit and reputation as a physician,
because the public were led to think that
her practice was limited to obstetrice, and
because the term midwife is construed
by the public generally as conveying an
idea not altogether complimentary.
Counsel for defendant demurred to the
declaration on the ground that the publi-
cation complained of was not libellous.
The court sustained the demurrer and the
case was withheld from the jury.
