sent upward. Destiny surely directed
Dewey's course at Manila Clearly,
destiny is not reIigiously orthodox

But this was not the only trick
destiny played Sunday observers dur
ing the late war. It was on a Sunday
that Cervera-reluctantly adventurous
man-attempted his brave snd spirited
dash out of Santiago harbor. He found
his fate on the surf-beaten rocks Of the
Cuban shore. But out of this battle
pulpiLs may extract some need Of con-
ISOLATION, for Cervera was the aggressor.
A week later. after days Of fruitless
negotiation 10 induce General Toral to
yield TO the inevitable, an ultimatum
was given to the effect thst unless the
city of Santiago was surrendered by 4
o'clock In the afternoon the American
forces would resume the attack. Now,
truly, this seemed tc be pure wanton-
ness, veritabIe fling in the face Of
Providence. Surely General Shafter
might have found another day upon
which to resume the offensive. What
a shiver of apprehension the dispatches
announcing his intention must have
caused among certain people in the
United States. Yet promptly at the
appointed hour the American batteries
and warships opened on the town,
with the salutsry effect that the fol-
lowing day found the Spanish general
more amenable to argument Again,
on the succeeding Sunday, Santiago
formally surrendered and the Stars
Stripes were raised over MORO Castle
and the Governors palace.

A Gentle HOrse-Breaker.

Next to Alexander the Great, who in
his youth subdued Bueephalus. per-
haps the most famous Of all horse
breakers WAS John Rarey, the Ohio
ian, who died at the age OF IS, after
having amassed fortune by his
skill.
With the awakening Of bis mental
energies the boy realized that there was
something wrong in the prevalent
msthod of breaking horses. His child
ish soul reeOiled at the cu ifs and blows
with which drivers were won't to sub
due their animals. Throughout his
school days the subject of his compost
tions was MANS Best Friend-the
Noble Horse His most ambitious
effort was rhyme, in which be sung
the gospel Of kindness, patience and
firmness" in dealing with the brut e
creation
The turning point in his boyhood
came on his twelfth birthday. His
father, now an extensive dealer in hor-
ses, presented to him an unbroken
pony. which the lad prOeeeGed to train
Dfter his own ideas. Little attention
was paid TO his manOeuvres with the
pony until ueighbors began to flock to
the farm to see the animals almost
human antics. The boy had trained
the pony until there seemed to be
nothing beyond its intelligence. But
while family and neighbors applauded,
the result was attributed TO the p6sy's
abnormal cleverness rather than TO the
boys skill ia training.
His success with the pony encouraged
him to undertake the education Of his
neighbors' unframed horses. Gradually
be found himself master Of prosper
Gus and attractive business. For miles
round his boyhoOd home pupils sought
instruction in his method of training.
All this came about while he was still

Now it so chanced through combi-
nation Of events, such as the date Of
the declaration of war and other things,
that Dewey aud his squadron arrived
outside Manila Bay on a Saturday
night. Dewey was born aud bred In
somewhat Puritanical corner Of New
England, and doubtless his early re-
Iigious training, had he needed it,
would have prompted him to defer the
attack twenty-four hours But his
military instinct admonished him that
IL would be unwise to permit daylight
to discover his presence TO the enemy,
who would thus be enabled to prepare
to effectually resist his entrance.
Dawn came-the peaceful dawn OF
Sunday-and with condemnation to the
Spanish admiral; for there, only q mile
or two distant, lay the American fiset.
II the Spanish admiral had any notions
about Sabbath observance they were
soon rudely dispelled. The wsnton
American commodore opened terrific
fire, and the Spaniards did a hard

LEvERE's IDENTIFICATION.
The Crooks Curiosity the Means of
Accomplishing 1t.

The Identification of George Levere, the
shoplifter, was made possible through the
efforts of W. ]. Elliott, of Columbus, Ohio
Elliott and Levere served in the Ohio
penitentiary at the same time While they
were there Levere struck up an acquaint-
ance with Elicit, who was pardoned on July
4 last. After Levere had been out for a
time, he wrote Elliott under the name of
Levere, asking whether he. Elliott lad
ever received his pardon. Elliott could
not recall any such man as Levere and
he called the attention of Captain Davis,
Superintendent of the Bertillon system of
measurement to the letter and expressed
the opinion that If the picture of the man
ever reached his hands that its original
would be found under the name of Dumas.
The local officers sent the picture to the
Ohio penitentiary. Elliott and the prison
officials Immediately recognized 1t as that
of Dumas. The India ink marks on both
men are the same. Dumas had on his left
arm In memory of j." with two anchors
flanking the phrase.
Dumas, or Levere as he called himself
here, prior to 1893 lived in Baltimore. That
year he went West. In Cleveland he was
concerned in some crooked work, and be-
fore the end of the twelvemonth he was
an inmate of that gray walled institution
on the banks of the Scioto River at Column
bus. The Cleveland authorities sent him
to prison on December 5, 1898, to serve
| two years for having received stolen goods.
He was a good prisoner and the time
| earned by good behavior enabled him 10
be discharged on July 8, 1895.
Elliott, the man who received the letter
which was the means of identifying Dumas,
is a newspaper man. Some eight or ten
years ago he and his brother INDUCED in
sensational street shooting affair An
innocent bystander, as is the usual case,
was shot and instantly killed. Elliott and
his brother Patrick, were sentenced to
long terms in the penitentiary. They
made strenuous efforts to be pardoned and
their cases were such celebrated ones that
every man in the penitentiary became in
| terested in it. Dumas stock of curiosity
| caused him to write the letter which has
resulted in his Identification and the send
| ing of his picture to every rogues gallery
| in tho limited States.

thorities there and those of Peoria it was
decided TO let the police of the latter city
prosecute the man. Detective Kerr will
be present at the hearing this afternoon

tended prisoner will be formally ordered
