WHEN DEWEY SAILED INTO MA.
MI A.

The first anniversary of the day
when Dewey sailed into Manila will
be observed throughout the country
as marking a great epoch in our
history.
We have had epochs before-at
struck ground before the victorious
army of Washington; in New Orleans,
when General Jackson gave the final
touch to the war of 1912; in the City
of Mexico, when General Scott's
veterans captured the ancient city;
but there is something about that
cruise into Manila, which, while not
dimming the other events. sends a
thrill through every living American.
In other wars we had defended our
homesteads, or had marched by dry
land; but never before had we round
ed the globe and fought battle on
the day previous to our own en-
trance upon it. Whatever result
politically may spring from the
victory Of Dewey off Manila, no
American can conceal his citation at
the triumph of our sailors and the
success of our first notice to the
world that we are interested in what
is going on abroad.
Let the bells ring; let cannon boom;
let children and grown men shout,
for history, will mark no brighter
day than in which Dewey sailed into
Manila!-Atlanta Constitution.

PROSPERITY'S BOOM,

Publisher Chapple of National Maga-
zine of Boston, in the May number,
in writing on the business condisions
Of the country, in part says:
evidence has accumulation during
the past month presaging a year Of
prosperity in this country. With the
growth OF confidence, an increased
investment and circulated of money,
the stress of hard times will soon be
forgotten. Even panics have their
uses in bringing about and adjusting
revolutionary changes in business
methods. Low prices, smaller mar
gins and general concentration of
business interests to meet these con-
ditions, have been marked features
in trade during the past few years. :"

No ONE who reads about the
desperate fighting going on in these
long-range quick-tiring days could
have failed to be amazed at the small
number of resulting casualties AS Il
matter of fact the firing begins when
the combatants are miles apart and
ends before they can see the whites
of each others eyes. There is no
"hand-tohand" business as of yore
What killing is done is miscellaneous
and accidental. This is particularly
true with respect to the warfare now
in progress in Philippines. The
fatalities among our troops mainly
result from the fire of sharpshooters
who pick their victims off from the
cover of the jungle. The Filipinos
have learned to protect themselves
by keeping out of range. Two or
three severe lessons sItficed. Phila-

betrayed the desperate position of the
insurgents in his reply to the sugges-
ton that the leaders of the insurrec-
ton might escape if an armistice
should be granted. My God. where
would we escape to-" exclaimed
Arguelles. The hostility of the tribes
of Northern Luzon for the Tagals
has long been suspected, and the ex-
clamation of the Filipino General con-
firms the suspicion. The hostiles

and implicit obedience of orders he
gives unstinted praise.

said, 'about the fighting on our side.

ton of Mr.. T.. f. Hicks published

the stage when it becomes absolutely

in which he have been plodding

Mr. Hicks mentions, the paving OF

Il ST. Louis railroad brought into
Memphis yesterday two cars Of freight
which had made an actual running
time of four and one-half days from
New York. This is the fastest time
made up to date in this city by a
rail and water line, and is close to
the time made by the all rail lines,
none of which run in less than four
days" Our Tennessee contemporary

that for quick time, satisfactory

Seaboard Air Line can be counted on

UNDER flag Of truce Gen. Luna. the
Filipino leader. last week sent mes
sengers to Gen. Otis looking to terms
of peace. He wanted the American
commander to grant an armistice
until the Filipino Congress could
meet to agree upon the terms for a
cessation hostilitics. Nothing short
of unconditional surrender would be
considered by Gen. Otis and the
ENJOYS returned disappointed and
detected. Heavy fighting has since
followed the Americans pressing
forward, making aggressive dem
onstrations and delivering battle
at every opportunity. Yesterday
dispatches state that peace overtures
have been renewed the Filipinos APP
parently having had enough of war.
The fall of Calumpit, following the
evacuation of Malolos. appears to
have been the straw that broke the
back of the insurrection- 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that the end of
the war is near at hand.

Electric motors are SO light that
those of considerable power may be
moved from place to place with the
tools to be operated, but it has not
been easy to provide suitable source
OF electric current that can also be
easily transported. The portable
generator of M. Albert Collet is
claimed to solve the problem. This
consists of four horsepower gaso-
lime engine connected by gear wheels
with small dynamo, the whole being
mounted on frame having a pair CT
wheels at one end and pair OF hand
les and legs at the other. By means
of the handles, the apparatus, weigh
ing about 100 pounds, can beresdilY

While intended for supplying energy

manner, every stripe and device being
measured with geometrical accuracy

strong, but very neat. The stars on
the American flag are put on so care

The stars are cut with chisels out OF

Philip D. Armour, the great Chicago
pork packer, has one peculiarly that
is altogether agreeable to his employees.
He has a weakness for making valu-
able presents at an opportune moment.
For the last ten years whenever he has
found it necessary to call one of his
representatives from some distant

has always ma1etit q practice to begin
the conference with him at o'clock, in
his Office at the stock yards. This is
Mr.. Armour's hour for going to work..
After the interview Mr.. Armour
looks his visitor over carefully and in
Quires whether or not he happens to
have the time with him. If the en-
ploye replies that he does not carry
watch he is promptly presented with
an order on a leading Chicago jeweler,
with instructions to have the time
piece engraved as a gift from Philip D.
Armour to whatever his name may be.
Ii the fortunate one is possessed of
watch he is instructed to get a new
suit of clothes or a brand new over
coat. For the first few years this plan
was allowed no proceed on the lines
laid down by Mr.. Armour, but OF late
those Of his men who prefer watches to
.overcoats have managed to leave their
tlmepieces at home when they have
been summoned to a conference.
1t is stated as fact that in no in

called to Chicago on business. The
watch preference among his men has
come to be very noticeable, and Mr.. Ar
