Dewcy's Foresight.

"The battle of Manila was won in
HonCkonG harbor," said Admiral Dew
ey to me when | first saw him in May,
1898. and heard him describe the great
fight. Many times since then l heard
him repeat the same sentiment, and
the more the truth of it is considered
the more light it sheds on his charac-
ter. While he was brave, strong.
prompt and decisive in action, he was
thoughtful, cautious, deliberate and
sure in preparation.
Day after day he summoned his cap
tains to discuss all the possibilities
and eYcntualiticS of n conflict with
the enemy. He gave them an oppor-
tunity to say when, where and how
the battle should be fought From
junior to senior he called upon them
10 express their opinions freely. If
any man had a novel idea, ii was given
careful consideration. If it was an old
one with improvements, it was viewed
In all phases.
After the admiral had patiently
heard his captains and duly interro-
gated them, he quietly told them his
own exact plan of battle and just what
he expected of each man. Whether
this was made up originally out of his
own ideas or from such in union with
the best points advanced by his cap
tains, ii was reached only after thor
ough deliberation and was final.-Hon.
John Barrett in Harper's Magazine.

The Cardinal and the Reporter.

Many instances are related of Cardi-
nal Gibbons broad mindednesS as well
as his tact AMI diplomacy in avoiding
religious discussions with persons
whose views are opposed to his own.
Upon one occasion. so the story runs, in
Baltimore a young journalist was sent
by his chief to Interview his eminence
upon a topic of local interest. When
the interview was over, the cardinal
and his caller had a friendly chat upon
a variety of subjects, including the
church The journalist was n Protest
ant, and in the argument that followed
he became excited and expressed him
self freely from his point of view.
Upon returning to his office he reflect
ed upon the outcome OF his visit and
came to the conclusion that he stood q
fair chance of being discharged should
the cardinal repeat the conversation TO
his editor.
The next day his eminence dropped
into the newspaper office in question
and asked TO see the proprietor, who
was his personal friend. The reporter
was told of the call and Quaked in his
boots. The publisher and the cardinal
discussed a matter of mutual interest
to them, and before leaving his emf
nence said:
BY the way, you sent a young man
to see me yesterday, and l was rather
impressed with him. He appears to
have the courage of his convictions. 1t
would please me if you could do some
thing better for him." Within a month
the reporter who had anticipated dis
missal received a gratifying promo
tion.-Raleigh Colston Smith in New
York Times.

Some English CrnnlSN.

When / lived at Newport, X. l., from
1861 to 1878, says Colonel T. W. HiG-
ginson. in The Atlantic, there was a
constant procession of foreign visitors,
varying in interest and often quite
wanting in 1t. remember one eminent
literary man who. in spite of all eau
tiOns to the contrary, appeared at 4
rather fashionable day reception in
what would now be called n golf suit,
of the lOudcSt possible plaid, like that
of the Scotch cousin in Punch who
comes down thus dressed for church
to the terror of his Genteel cousins. In
this case the visitor also wore Il spy
glass of great size, hung round his
neck. all through the entertainment.
Another highly connected English
man, attending an evening reception
given expressly for him, came into the
parlor with his hat and umbrella in his
hand. declining to be parted from
them through the whole evening,
which suggested to n clever Newport
lady the story of the Snowman who
exhibited Il picture of Daniel in the
lions den and pointed out that Daniel
was to he distinguished from the lions
by having n blue cotton umbrella un-
der his arm. In this case, the lady re-
marked that the conditions We're re-

men aDd expert singers, are Grace
Van Studdiford, Maud Hollins, Hubert
Wilke, Harry Macdonough, Lenore
Soulier and Hilda Hollins. The pro-
duction will positively be given in its
original entirety, it is assured, and
the visual outfit has been described as
very handsome. These facts point to
good entertainment, mixing fun,
melody and sightliness. The scheme
of the piece is the turning of romance
into inerriment. The place and time
are France in the days of Richelieu
when soldiers wore picturesque clothes
and performed deeds of valor. But
the hero, enacted by Merry jeff De
Augelis, is a comic type of the swash-
buckler, and his exploits are meant to
be ludicrous. The actor is confessedly
and Intentionally clown, and such a
role should provide effective material
for him to amuse with. The seat sale

His Better Half" hilariously
funny farce comedy with Boyle &
Graham and a galaxy of artists, each
one belonging to different school of
entertainers, will occupy attention at
the Burtis Tuesday, Oct. 24, and
Judging from newspaper reports, it is
safe to predict that laughter will run
riot on very large scale. Boyle e
Graham have established records of
pronounced kinds for remarkably
clever work in the realm of vaude-
vile, and on more than one occasion
have demonstrated their special fitness
for the requirements of farce comedy.
1t is, therefore, interesting to know
that in Ills Better Half" they have
discovered means whereby their indi-
vidual talents are allowed to blend so
harmoniously together the subdued
humor of the ONE and the spirited wit
characters necessary to evolve plot
replete with comicalities.
'Finnigan's 400, which will be the
attraction at Harper's theatre tomor-
row evening, is Murray and Mack's
latest production. Th Y nave appeared
in a number of successful farce COM
edies. They are pleased 10 term their
latest effort musical comedy, and
from all accounts it is one of the best
farce comedies on the road this season
Solos, choruses and musical special
ties follow each other in.rapid success
sion. The piece has a plot, and in
telling the struggles of poor Timothy
Finnigan, who is trying to get into
the society of the 400. the mem bers of
the company are enabled to work out
some very amusing situations. There
are 25 people in the company. includ-
ing y charming young women. A
large number OF the latest topical
songs and selections from popular
operas are introduced, and all special
ties of the company are the very lat
est and comprise the big hits of the
summer roof gardens of New York.
Stetson's big double Uncle Toms
Cabin company is the attraction at
Harper's theatre this afternoon and
evening. There are people who have
never seen this famous historical
dramatization. but there are more
who have seen it more than once and
will see it again whenever opportunity
offers. Uncle Tom" always draws,
