SHOWN IN the long ana Trying mOnGnS
that followed his naval triumph the
qualities of statesman and wise adj
ministrator as we'll as fighting leader
of the victorious fleet. And enhancing
these qualities was that of manly mod
esty, displayed in the quiet dignity with
which he met the occasion. This trait
of Dewey's character was evidenced
from the moment he reached the stand
side by side with the president. He
paused at this point for a moment un
willing apparently to take the place
that had been prepared for him on the
right of the platform lest he should ap-
pear to usurp the place due to the chief
magistrate. President Mckinley grasped
the situation i'll an instant and taking
the great sea captain by the arm placed
him by gentle force in the chair that
had been intended for him. Later in
the day as the carriages bearing the
official party drove away from the
capitol between walls of cheering people
the president again displayed his tact
by remaining covered and ignoring the
demonstration himself, leaving its ac-
acknowledgement to the admiral alone.
Trying Day for the Admiral.
For Dewey it was trying as well as
triumphal day 1t has been given to
few officers in the naval history Of the
country to sit before crowd of thou
sands while the chief of the naval es.
tabfshment dilated upon their exploits,
and then to stand before the same crowd
to receive at the hands Of the president
a sword prepared for him at the behest
of the representatives of the whole peo-
pie. The strain upon Admiral Dewey
reached almost to the breaking point.
| None but those nearest to him could see
how he labored to repress his feelings
during the address Of Secretary Long,
but when he arose to receive the sword
from the hands, of the president no one
could mistake the flash of the white
gloved hand as it rose to dash away the
tears before the admiral came to the
rigid attitude of attention before his
chief.
When it became Dewey's turn to re-
ply, his voice failed him and he made
the effort twice before his lips would
respond. When he did succeed, his
tones were clear and steady, but so low
that only those nearest to him coult
hear.
Joy Over Schley.
One of the most remarkable features
of the eventful day was the ovation t,
Rear Admiral Schley on the return O
the party from the capitol to the white
house. His carriage was several mum
bers behind that of the president ant
Admiral Dewey and received an ova
ton that could scarcely be ranked belov
that accorded to the admiral himself
The tumult grew as the carriage pro
ceeded down the avenue and the Grove
surged around it until the horses wer
brought to foot pace. Finally a com
pany of high school cadets came to tn
rescue and formed about the carriage il
hollow square. Thus protected an
fanked by force of police the carriag

 1t seems that the police had either mis- calculated or were misinformed. There was secret exit of which they knew not, and through this the supposed gamblers escaped. The two officers were attired in citizens clothes and were completely dis- guised. After going through a private en- trance they found a man named Martin on guard at the first door. Chief Austin suc- ceeded in deceiving him, but as a matter of precaution Captain Weir bound and gagged him. They then proceeded to the next door. As this entrance was reached. by some means the officers were discov- cred. Chief Austin says he heard three sharp rings from an electric bell. and the crowd inside began pouring out of a rear entrance. No one was arrested but Jack Martin, the door-keeper, and . charge of vagrancy was docketed against hAm.

HACK NORTH IS
 REPRIMANDED S0pt. Abercrombie Writes Him a
 Severe Letter.
WILL RETAIN HIS POSITION
Gross Carelessness and Indifference is Commented Upon New Examina- tionof Teachers Will Be Held
 in Jackson County.

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, September 1S.-(speeial. .)-Superin- tendent of Education John W. Abercrom- bic today rendered his decision in the Hackworth case, from Jackson county. County Superintendent Hackworth is al- lowed to retain his position for lack of tes- timony to convict, though he was severely reprimanded for carelessness in allowing the questions prepared for the June exam nations to be circulated previous to the day of examination.
 The following is a full text of Superin- tendent Abererombies letter to MT. Hack worth:
 "Your letter making answer to the charges brought against you concerning the manner in which the June examination was held in Jackson county has been re- ceived and carefully considered.
 While your own statement, IS well as the testimony of others, shows that there were many Irregularities in holding the ex- animation, thorough investigation of the matters develops a conflict in the testimony touching the gist of the charges, viz: tha- you knowingly and willfully violated the law. Not being satisfied beyond doubt that you acted with a disregard for law and official duty, I have given you the benefit of the doubt thus permitting you to retain your position.
 "on my return from Scottsboro, I sub mitted to the state board of examiners the information which I had obtained After mature delberation we have reached the following conclusions:
 q. That you merit a severe reprimand for the carelessness of which you acl1nowl- edge your guilt.
 "2. That you deserve great censure for the gross indifference which you have manifested in reference to instructions from this department.
 "3 That you merit reproof for your fail- ure to heartily cooperate with the board in their efforts to ascertain the facts in re- gard to alleged Irregularities in the eX- animation.

Officers Attempted to Force an
 Entrance But Failed.
ROOM WAS IMPROBABLE
Seize Was Then Instituted, and for Five Hours Every Avenue of Escape Was Guarded = Hundreds
 Watched Proceedings

The police operated a successful block ade of the Olvette club, an alleged gam bling resort, Sunday afternoon. and at the recapitulation the following men were placed under arrest for gaming:
 e. w. Jones, L. G. Warren, Abe Seigel, A. D. Griffin, 0. w. Freeman, H. B. Lewis. Tom Threth, William Miles. J. H. Perry, T. w. Morgan. George Wilson, G. W. Bur gin, O. P. Bragan, Charles Watts, colored. and E. J. Smith, colored.
 The seize lasted five hours, and by the time the inmates had decided ito surrender nearly a thousand spectators had gathered around the building. The building is sttu- ated on the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street. and before the sun had gone down the sidewalks and streets in that vicinity were packed with a crowd eager to see the finish. Policemen were stationed at every entrance and exit to the building, and escape from the room on the second floor was almost impossible. To prevent an escape by the skylight two of ficers were placed on the roof. In fact nearly one-half of the police force of the city was on duty at this corner.
 Flag of Truce Run Up
 At 6 o'clock flag of truce was sent to the officers, and they were notified that the beseiged forces would surrender pro- yided they were allowed to make bond and would not be exposed to the view of the curious crowd in the street. This protocol was accepted by Chief Austin. He and Cap tain Weir then entered the place from the Stag saloon, and were admitted to the room above. The men were promptly arrested' and made bond. They were all charged with gaming As the chief and captain or police climbed the narrow stairway to the alleged gambling room they found othcer Mcknight on guard at the main door. He said he had been there for four hours, and not a person had escaped.
 Captain Weir said when he entered the room he was surprised at the precautions that had been taken to prevent a raid on the place. Before getting into the club room there were two doors to go through. At one of these a guard had been station ed. and after he had been passed 1t was necessary for him to give the signal before one could pass the main door.
 Tn this there was a wicket, and unless A person was recognized it was almost i'm possible for him to enter the place. on the outside of this door a huge trace chain covered with leather was hung from one side of the door-facing to the other To break this was matter of impossibility. The captain said that the officers at first attempted to break through this door, but
