written by her majesty to the queen Of

Chadwick Day.

Morgantown opens wide its arms
and extends the glad hand to-day
toreceive and welcome the throng of
distinguished guests which come to
do honor to one Gifts fellow citizens.
In all the history of this ancient
and distinguished community dis
tinguished for its natural beauties of
location and environment; distin-
gushed for the culture and refine
ment of its entire population; dis
tinguished all over the land for its
educational facilities-its principal
industry has been that OF making
men.
1t has sent out men to fill with
honor all stations in life, in all states
Of the Union, in all sections of our
great country, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific; and from the Penobscot
in Maine to the Gulf of Mexico.
Morgantown has had representatives
who delight to own her as either their
native town or the home of their al
ma mater, in nearly all the high
tofficial stations Of the national gov
eminent, in the executive and judi
cial chairs Of other states, in the
pulpit. and at the forum, and at the
head OF the great industrial enter
prises of the country. There are
more men scattered over the land,
who keep its memory green, and
fondly call it home, than any other
town in the State, or probably, in
the Union, can boast. Its history is
honorable, it's name is illustrious,
and its memory is cherished by a
great host above any other town. 1t
is peculiarly appropriate, therefore,
that some Of the most distinguished
men of the nation from high official
places in the national government,
as well as our neighbors and friends
from many sections, should honor
the town, and honor themselves, by
coming to do honor to one among
the many Of its distinguished eiti-
rzens.
Morgantown, for this occasion,
dons its brightest garb, puts on its
most gracious obeisance, protters its

government; indicating official and
diplomatic ability of high order;
then when the Spanish American
conflict was calling the wisest and
most trusted OF our Naval officers to
the front. we saw that same familiar
name coupled with the commission
which was to inquire into the de-
struction Of the Maine and upon
whose verdict hung the issue Of
great international conflict; and at
last. when that conflict was on, we
see him in the position of Comman
der of the flagship, tried and trust
ed officer equal to the highest re-
sponsibility.
Although the fortunes of war
have not opened to him such an OPP
portunity as made the fame Of Adj
miral Dewey yet his career has
shown that he was always equal to
the occasion. Whether dealing with
the more peaceful and complex
questions Of the Naval department
or in the active and stirring scenes
of the deadly conflict, he has acqnit-
ted himself with honor and always
held the highest confidence Of his
government.
Naturally, his fellow townsmen,
some of whom played marbles with
him as boy, competed with him in
ball, spelled hard words with him in
the class room, and grew up side by
side and shared with him those
youthful experiences, are proud of
his life and the honor he has done
himself and us in his public career
We welcome him back to his ma
tive hills; to those scenes of his
childhood which he has not reviewed
in all these years, but which are
doubtless as green in his memory as
when he left them as a boy His
homecoming will be more eventful
than his ut-going, and it is meet
that we thus show our hearty APP
probation of the well merited sue
cess which is an honor to him and to
his town. We grant him the free
dom of the city and bid him a most
gracious welcome and permission to
be boy again.

Our Guest.

Thirty five years ago young man
went out from Moreantown to pre-
pare himself to enter the service of
the II. S. Government in the Naval
Department
His departure was common
place event which did not attract
much attention outside of his inn
mediate family and friends, He
was then too young to have
made place in the business, social,
or public affairs of the community,
that would cause him to be much
missed He was yet boy; his life
was before him; and his going away
was the occasion of much specula-
ton of what he might be, rather
than that of what he had been.
But his boyish life had been ex-
ceptlonally free from the common
errors Of youth. He was recognized
as manly, straightforward, studious,
honorable, and exemplary in his hab-
it's. And if the boy is the index to
the man there was the assurance, at
least, that his manhood would be
clean and honorable as his boyhood
had been.
Years pass away and the long ST
lence Of the preparatory and proba-
tionary period, during which he was
slowly climbing to his place in the
Navy, had almost dropped him out
of sight and out of the memory of
his townsmen, when the familiar
name Of FRENCH ENzoR CHADWICK
begins to appear with a distinguish
ed official prefix, indicating the digni-
ty Of his station; then in connection
with important and responsible com
missions to foreign nations which
result in great benefit to our own
