THE NAME STEWART.
What II ths Correct spelling Of the
Name?

What Il ths Correct spsllins Of the
Name?
At . recent meeting Of the Clan
Stewart Society in Glasgow, Col. John
Ste wsrt Of Ardvoirlich, who presided.
referring to the different ways OF SPELL
ing the clan name. said that the "dif-
ferent ways OF spelling the name arose
either from accidental cause CT other
weil-deined reasons. The nnal letter
t was substituted for the d Of the
original name Steward for the sake
Of euphony. The spelling Of the name
steuart was quite accidental. arising
probably from the ELIGIBILITY OF the
writing of some member; while the
spelling OF Stuart was caused by Queen
Mary, On her return from France, u.s.
lag the French spelling OF her name. to
which she had been accustomed. ana
many clansmen perpetuated the royal
spelling. But In whatever way they
spelt their name, they all came from
the original stock. Nor does this end
the matter, for It may be remembered
by many that the Earl of GALLOWAY re-
fused to take part in tbs collection OF
the Stuart exhibition" In London in
1889, because the committee refused to
spell the uams Stewart" as his lord
ship himself does. He maintained that
this was the only correct orthography.
and held aloof from the exhibition
WHICH disregarded this assertion. This,
however, seemed rather high-handed,
| especially when We discover by refer
ence to historical documents that near
ly all tho famous people OF the fifteenth
and sixteenth. centuries spelt their
names in two or three different ways.
In short, there was no proper spell
Ing" though Mary Queen Of Scots al
ways wrote Stuart" for the simple
reason that she raj educated in France
ard the French alphabet had no "w."
Earlier kings Of her race spslt their
names Steward" or Stewart" or
Stuart" at the fancy OF the moment
when they held the pen. We have near
ay thirty different ways on record OF
spelling the surname OF Stewart in
English, Gaelic, French, Latin, Italian,
Spanish and Dutch, IS follows: Stew
ard, Stewart, Stewart, Stuart, Stuard
Eteuarde, Steuard, Steuart, 6teuert

FIRST SHOT At MANILA.


Battle as Seen by Peter Laaterretts, Chic,
Gunner Of the Olympia.
Peter Lautefrette, chief gunner q
the Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flag
ship, after 70 years absence returned
recently to his old home, in Waterloo,
y. l., where he spent several days re-
neW1ng old ac4uaintanceships and
telling eager listeners how he fred the
first shot IN the battle Of Manila Bay,
the order to fire having been given
by admiral Dewey IN person.
I'VE had no idea that we should
whip the Spaniards so easily" says
Lauterrette.
Under Admiral, then Commodore,
Dewey's order. I fred the first shot.
Then we gave lem the port battery,
came around ars fred the starbsard
battery, and repeated The maneuver
i've times. I distinctly remember.
Before we had turned around the
second time the Spanish admiral came
out in the Reina Cristina to give us
battle. Say, he did lock ferecious
and gallant. He stood on the bridge
OF the Reina Cristina. 1 could see
him as plain as daylight, and made
out that he was urging his men to
fight. I aimed one of u guns for
the bridge rs We came about, and just
as the old admiral lifted his cap and
waved it I let her go. The shot struck
the bridge and knocked it to
smithereens. Then we turned again,
and that was the last I saw of the old
admiral. They say he came out alive,
but how he did it has always been a
mystery to me. Later not very long
after, for the battle was fought, it
seems to me, almost as quick rs [ can
tell it-an eight-iach shell, I have
since heard from the Boston, struck
the stern of the old admiraps ship aud
set the Reina on FIRE.
"Iou know the story of the rest,
how We sunk the Spanish ships and
destroyed the defences. I guess
there's oaly one mole thing 1 know

The Rio and sikh Ordered TO Keep in

The Rio de Janeiro and sikh two
transports carrying the Thirty In

Manila. The former had orders to keep
the Sikh in sight all the way from Ho-
nolulu to the Philippines and she wait
ed after she was ready for sailing until
the Sikh was in the channel. before cut
ting loose from the wharf. The Sikh is
much slower boat than the Rio. hav-
ing been beaten by a day and half i'm
the trip down from Portland, SO that
the Rio has a slow job i'm keeping i'm
sight of the Sikh. The reason for the
order is that the Sikh is regarded as
not very safe vessel in far Eastern wa
ters, as she stands very high out Of the
water and as the two have troops of
the same regiment no advantage would
be gained by the Rio arriving ahead of
the other.
The Rio had send-off this morning
that eXcelled any given to a transport
here for some time Her officers made
many friends on shore and there was
larger crowd on the dock. The Ha-
waian band played for two hours. while
the Sikh was getting ready to go, the
boys on the Rio cheering each number
with enthusiasm. At the last moment
a provost guard arrived with the two
soldiers who had been arrested the
night before. Marshal Brown had re-
fused to release them without a trial
and they were fined So and Sc by Judge
Wilcox. Captain Robertson of their
company paid the fines.
AS the Rio left the dock the band
struck up the Star Spangled Banner.
Instantly every hat was off on the YES
sci. AS she slowly drifted from the
wharf hats remained off, from the deck
where Colonel Plummer and Captain
Ward stood, to the lower decks crowded
with privates The vessel was beau
tiful picture as she slowly moved away,
with nearly a thousand men standing
at attention with their hats off, while
the band gave them the great nation
al song as a farewell. The Sikh was al
ready outside of the channel and the
Rio soon got up speed to start after
her and stay by her through the long
! journey.
