DEWEY COMING HOME.
The Admiral 10 Reach the United States in
Time for Demonstration on the
Fourth OF July.

Washington, May 18,-"Send olym-
pia's mail to b. f. Stevens, No. Ira
falgar square, London, Eng" That
was the notice given out at the navy
department to-day, and it is the first
formal indication that the famous flag
ship and the famous admiral are COM
ing home Immediately, for it is deemed
positive that the admiral will come
with his ship. The notice posted
at the navy department indicates that
the Olympia will not remain long
enough TO receive the next outward
mail, The i. Il. Stevens referred to in
the order is the navy departments
agent at London to distribute all of
the mail for United States warships in
European waters, so he will see to it
that the Olympia will receive her mail
as soon as she passes the Suez canal. 1t
is estimated at the navy department
that Dewey will reach the United
States in time for a national demon
stration upon the Fourth of July.
Would Raise Fund for Dewey.
New York, May 13.-The New York
Times in an editorial entitled "What
Shall We DO For Dewey" suggests that
national subscription Of $25O,OOO be
raised before the admiral return from
the orient. 1t suggests that half of it
be used in building home for Dewey
and that the balance be turned over to
him. 1t suggests that the daily news
papers throughout the country open
subscription lists.
Barker to Temporarily Command.
Washington, May 13.-Admiral Wat
son will sail from San Francisco next
Tuesday as a passenger on one of the
regular Pacific mail steamships, but
cannot possibly reach Manila before
the middle of June. Orders have been
issued placing Capt. A. S. Barker in COM
mand of the Asiatic squadron after
Admiral Dewey's departure until re-
lieved by Rear Admiral Watson.

An Exciting Fire.

ut was this way" said the clerk.
"a young lady came in and stood over
by the State street door, waiting for
somebody, suppose. The plumes OF
her hat curled down behind and the
tip OF plume touched the flame in the
cigar lighter over the counter. Next
moment the hat was ahame, women
were rushing for the door and the girl
who was on fire was shrielSing like an
Indian. Rudy there, Rudolph Groll,
the soda clerk, grabbed seltzer bottle
and let go at the hat just as big Mar
TIM, the policeman, rushed in and tried
to wrench the hat from the girls head.
Rudy did the best he could, but he
hadn't calculated the range. He hit
Martini in the eye, the girl in the nose
and me in the ear. The hat went to
the floor and Martini fought the
settler till the supply ran out. Nobody
was hurt, but the girl acted os though
she was irritated. Really, 1t was only
a trifling accident, and Rudy will be in
training next time with bigger bot
tie. "-Chicago Evening News.

EX-CoNFEDERATE VETERANS.
They Want No Aid from the Federal Gov
eminent for the Care of Southern
Soldiers Graves.

Charleston, S. c., May 1S.-With
spirited and at times stormy session,
the ninth annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans was yesterday
brought to a close. Gen. John B.
Gordon, commander-in-chief, and all
the officers were reelected. Louis
vile, KY, was chosen as the next place
of meeting, and the question of fed
eral care of confederate graves was
disposed of by the adoption of
substitute resolution which de-
clines the presidents suggestion,
except as to those graves To-
Gated in the north and reserving to the
women of the south the duty of caring
for those in the seeding states and
Maryland. The adoption of this reso-
luton and the report that accompanied
it, precipitated debate which verged
upon the sensational, and at times much
confusion and disorder prevailed.

CALLS THEM MURDERERs.
Gen. John McNulta, of Illinois, Bitterly
DenOances the Men Who Speak at
AntI-Imperialist Meetings.

Chicago, May 1S.-'4If, by the acts of
men living among us in peace and I'M
der the protection of our government,
this war is prolonged so that my boy,
fighting in the front rank there with
Lawton, is killed, they have murdered
him. Men like those who spoke at the
anti-imperialist meeting at Central
Music hall should be held responsible
for the death of every soldier who
falls there by reason of their en-
enlargement, and every man who thus
encourages an enemy in time of war is
a traitor" This was the stirring
climax of Gen. John McNulta's speech
at the First Congregational district
loyalist meeting in Oakland Music hall
last evening, when steps were taken
fer the organization of Mckinley
club in the district to foster loyalty.

time of his death.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEAD MAN.
Roswell p Flower was born in Theresa, JEFF
ferson county, N. Y, August 7, 1885, His father
was born at Oak Hill, Greene county N, Y,
where his ancestors went from Connecticut.
Roswell was the sixth OF nine children and when
his father died he was eight years old. He
worked with his brothers on two farms his
mother owned and spent his time between
school sessions In the hardest kind OF labor.
He became deputy postmaster Of Watertown, N.
Y, In 1853 and kept his place six years. Then
he became n partner In the iewelry firm Of
Hitchcock g. Flower bought out his partner at
the end Of two years and continued in the bust
ness until 1869, He came to New York in that
year TO take charge OF the estate Of Henry Keep,
whose widow was Mr., Flowers sister Mr.. Keep
owned great many railroad and other stocks
and during the months before his death he spent
much time instructing Mr.. Flower about them
Not long afterward he organized the banking
firm Of Flower s. Co., which has since been O
power in Wall street.
Mr.. Flower was chosen chairman Of the demo-
cratic state committee in 1877 and in 1881 he de-
feated William Waldorf Aston for congress after
hot campaign in the Eleventh district. His
majority was 300, while Levi p, Morton, re-
publican, had carried 1t at the last previous
denomination He was elected governor of the
state In 1891. In the cholera epidemic in the
late summer of 1892 thousands of passengers ar
irving from Europe were quarantined on ship
board down the bay AS an emergency measure
Gov Flower bought with his own money the
Fire Island hotel in the name of the state and
ordered that the passengers be sent there.
Mr. Flower took up Brooklyn Rapid Transit
less than two years ago, buying from 10000 to
10000 shares at about %. when the capital stock
was only S250O0,OO0. He absorbed many subor-
dinate lines, among them the Nassau Electric
company, and increased the capital stock to
a5O00 O0by his extraordinary successful manip-
ulation and put the price up to 1887 His hold
ings in Brooklyn Rapid Transit alone, which
cost him two years ago u little more than $780,
0O0 are worth, ut to-day's market price, more
than SS,OOO,OOO
