COMPLIMENT TO DEWEY.
London Paper Has Good Word to Say
of the Admiral and Americans.

London. Sept. 39.-The Times in an
editorial tracing Admiral Deweyfs
career says Not the least remarkable
part Of OF the celebration is the fact
that Admiral Dewey has manffestly
satisfied all shades of opinion. There
IS no record Of a single Earring note to
mar the harmony OF the occasion. We.
in England can have no more pleasant
duty than to congratulate America
upon the possession of her gallant sea-
men, and her exhibition Of legitimate
pride in that possession.
We feel sure nobody in America will
question the proprietary OF the con-
sidsrations which deferred Canada
from allowing a detachment of the
imperial forces to take official part in
a celebration that must necessarily re-
call painful memories to another nation
with whom we maintain traditional re-
1ations Of peace and friendship.
The vast majority of Americans un-
questionably appreciated England
friendly attitude during the war, but
we doubt whether that could anywhere
be SO cordially appreciated as among
the American sailors. VINO had special
opportunities of putting it to the proof
all the world over in their daily rela-
tions with tine British navy. We do
not believe that the seeds of friend
snip thus soWn in the two countries are
destined to remain sterile or to yield
only an ephemeral harvest Of empty
professions Of good will.

Hearnl as a stesple Climber.
i fSan Francisco Argonaut.l

Twenty years ago Lafcadio Hearn
was d reporter on the staff Of a Cincin-
natl newspaper. One day a famous
steeplei climber was going to scale the
sspire Of the cathedral to- repair this
cross that topped the spire 200 feet
above the sidewalk The afternoon ne
first scaled the spire thousands Of peo-0
pie watched him breathlessly as he.
slowly made his way up the outside or
the steeple. OF course he was inter-
viewed, and he said boastingly that tile
task was so easy that H. could just a.
well carry man up on his back That
noon Hearn said timidly to his city
editor that he had read Of the steeplef
climbers offer and would be glad to ass
cend the spire on his back. TIE editor
tried to point out to Hearn4 the peril pr
the thing, but he would not listens
Finally the steeple climber and Hearn
arranged their end Of the feat AZ the
appointed time Hearn mounted the
steeple climbers shoulders and the
dizzy journey began. Tens OF thousands
of people watched the fooihardy pair.
At last the cross wars reached ana
Hearn left his perch on the climbers
shoulders. The mob in the street below
cheered and then the two men returned
to the ground safely. Hearn went back
TO the Office and sat down and wrote
two columns of story describing his
sensations and the slories OF the view
he had obtained from the sseeple top.
such a glowing description of a city
seen from great height has never
been read before nor since. The most
interesting thing about 1t was the fact
that Hearn was 50 uear-sighted he
could not see FIVE feet beyond the tip
of his nose.
