Dewey without his coat tails, which had
been shot away.
Lieut.. Dewey that same year was at
Donaldsonville and afterward succeeded
to the temporary command Of the Monon-
gahela when her captain, Abner Read,
was killed.
At Fort Fisher.
If getting into the thick Of the fight
be deemed good fortune Dewey was one
Of the luckiest officers of the war. He
was Commodore Thatcher's first lieuten-
ant on the Colorado at Fort Fisher In
December and January, 1S64-'65. Toward
the end Of the second engagement at that
place Admiral Porter signaled Thatcher
to close in and silence a certain part OF
the works. As the ship had already re-
ceived no inconsiderable damage her off,
GERS demonstrated. But Dewey, who, In
addition to dash and bravery, had now
acquired marked tactical ability, was
quick to see the advantage to be gained
by the move. 1--WE shall be safer there"
he said, quietly, "and the works can be
taken in fifteen minutes" he had his
way and won.
The work Of Dewey gained for Thatch-
er the nomination Of acting rear admiral
and later Dewey was rewarded by CONF
mission as lieutenant commander.
After the War.
After the war Dewey served for two
years on the European squadron. In
1867, while on duty at Portsmouth, he
became engaged to Miss Susie Goodwin,
daughter Of Ichabod Goodwin, known az
the fighting Governor" of New Hamp-
shire. In 1870 he received his first COM
mand, that Of the Narragansett. Two
years later came the great sorrow OF MS
life, the death Of his beloved wife. he
was left with one son, George Goodwin
Dewey, who is engaged in business In
New York.
In 1875 Dewey was advanced to be
commander and was assigned to the
lighthouse board. Next he was command
err Of the Juniata in Arctic waters, and
in 1884 was made captain Of the Dolphin.
His next promotion was to be commo-
dore and in this capacity he went to the
Asiatic station in the fall Of 1897, to win
his way to undying fame by the victory
at Manila.

Jewish Philsnthropists.

A Jewish mendicant is rare spec
tacle in New York and the appeal of
any Jewish fraternity to their Chris
tan brothers almost unknown, says
Harper's Bazaar. The Jews look after
their own poor. 1t is a part Of their
religion charity according to their
creed being nothing more than justice
the rich looking after the INDECENT,
as the strong of the Anglo-Saxon race
look after the weak, without question
and without demur or Boosting. The
almost phenomenal generosity of the
Baron and the Baroness de Hirsch,
which in New York alone has resulted
in the gift of many millions to our poor,
has not perhaps been equaled in num-
bers by any of our citizens, though
proportionately to their means no Jews
of wealth have failed to reach their
standard.
It is the fashion among so-called
humorists to ridicule the love Of get
ting among the Hebrew shopkeepers,
making 1t seem a characteristic Of the
race and ignoring altogether the gener-
osity Of the better class, who even in
this country and at this day give their
tithes according to old testament in
junction, beginning to do so as boys
earning their first salaries; and all this
is as natural and as much a matter of
course as the rest Of us pay our car
fares. More than that, the best Of
them make no distinction between the
needy Christian and the needy Jew
when trouble arises, thus proving a
brotherhood of man of which the rest
of us only talk in apostrophes.

Paid in Her own Coin.

There is a story going about town
just now concerning n famous man
OF letters who visited Washington re-
Gently and was fairly deluged with in
Vitations to breakfasts and luncheons
and dinners and suppers, says the
Washington Post, during his stay. He
accepted almost none of them, and ap-
peared at but one dinner party. Then
he sat next to the young daughter of
a noted naval officer. Her vocabulary
Is of a kind peculiar to very young
girls, but she rattled away at the
famous man without a moments 8
respite. He for his part wanted to talk
to his hostess on the other side OF
him. but the talkative girl didn't give
him chance. She asked him all sNrts
of questions. 1t was during a pause in
the conversation that she said to him:
I'm awfully struck on Shakespeare.
Don't you think he's terribly interest
ing?"
Everybody listened to hear the great
mans brilliant reply, for as a Shakes
pearean scholar he has few peers.
Yes" he said, solemnly, II do think
he is interesting. l think he is more
than that. I think Shakespeare is just
simply too cute for any thing"

Ell No MAN think that the
task of establishing civil
81 government in Cuba and
Porto Rico, which the ad-
ministration is about to undertake, is
n simple one. The problems, for the
most part, are both new and difficult;
and it will be several years before our
authorities, even if unexpectedly sue
cessful, can hope to present a per-
manenu balance sheet of results. Thcy
will not have, under a civil regime. the
glory and glamOr of miltarism to help
them to keep in touch with the imag-
nations Of their lrienda at home;
theirs will be the hardest of hard and
prosiest of pTosy work to be accom-
plshed patiently and slowly, a little
at a time, in face ufdihiculties not cas-
lily appreCiable at a distance. The red
fire period having passed, the era OF
minute details is at hand and it is this
which will afford the real test of the
American peoples fitness for semi
tropical responsibilities.
An idea of some of the kinks which
win have to be unraVcled in these new
island territories If they are to have
civil government on the American plan
is conveyed in a statement of condi-
tiOns presented in the Washington
Star by a careful student of the sub
jeCt who rnodestly withholds his name.
For one thing, ecclesiastical relations
are likely to prove bothersome at best.
Although the clergy in Cuba and
Porto Rico no longer receive pay out
of public funds, they still remain In
control of church property. schools
and all the cemeteries on the ISL
ands. Under the law cemeteries have
been paid for and improved with pub
lie money, and all persons, according
tC the American idea, ought to be en-
titled to equal burial privileges, but,
notes the writer in the Star, "the
grounds have been all 'consecrated'
and none but good Catholics are en-
titled TO be buried in 'consecrated
ground so there is no place but the
sea for a Protestant. 4 heavy burial
tax is also imposed and many are
too poor TO pay it. This tax is kept
up even after burial, and if not paid
each year the bones are dug up and
! piled in the bone yard in one corner.

He Knew by Experience.

In a rural district of Scotland an old
farmer had been elected n member Of
the school board. He called at one of
the schools and asked if he would be
allowed to put a question to the class,
says a writer in Pearson's Short Stor-
les. On receiving permission, he
thought he would severely test their
intelligence by asking:
moo, boys, can ony O. you tell me
what naething is?"
For a moment there was perfect still
ness. Then a small boy in back seat
got up on his feet.
moo, my lad" said the farmer, "ye
seem to be the Ounce O the class, sit
ting ava doom there; but ye're mebbe
nae. Let's see foo ye can answer, and
tell me what naething is?"

with the sad air of experience.

A teacher in Bangor school haa just finished explaining the use of the ditto marks, when she noticed one of her young searchers for knowledge searching TOT it in a half-dime novel. So she made him stay after school aand told him to write the sentence '" Always pay attention" 100 times. In a very short time he gave glad shout: i've did it!D What kind of language is that?" she remarked se- verely; and you surely haven't had time to do it. Well I done it, then anyhow, here it is." He held up his paper. The sentence was written once at the top. and the remaining surface was covered with dots. But you haven't done it!" she exclaimed. He gazed at her scornfully.
