Washington. Dec. 15 = Beyond the
comment that his honor had been vim
dicated and he was satisfied with the
decision of the court. Admiral Schley
refused to talk when told Of the finding
Of the court of inquiry by a reporter.
Although he did not venture any re-
marks his face showed some disap-
pointment as majority Of the findings
OF the court were read to him. His
face frightened up and smile Of salts,
faction was evident when the mem
bers of the court commended his cour-'
age and general conduct during the
battle. He displayed even greater sat
icfaction when the additional report OF
Admiral Dewey, commencing his entire
course, was read.

There are some intimations in the
political atmosphere that a revision
of the tariff will be attempted at the
coming session of Congress. But
few Republicans advocate such a
scheme, the most of the talk coming
from Democratic sources in the shape
of suggestions to the majority. 1t is
highly probable that certain lines OF
manufactured articles, notably in
steel, could prosper with a reduction
of the tariff rates affecting them, but
the majority of the Republican party
hesitate to disturb the present sched-
ules lest it result in a demand for a
reduction all along the line of pro-
tected articles.

The Balsam Lake Ledger'S po-
litical sagacity is illustrated in the
statement appearing in its issue OF
Nov. 7: "The panic of 1893 was
caused by the panic circular which
said: Call in your loans and make
money stringency felt in your
neighborhood ;" Who issued that
circular? Who ever saw it? Were
the authors the "bloated bond hold
ers" of the country? And why
should they wish to cause string
ency? Cut off their noses to spite
their faces?" If the Ledger would
state history as usually spelled-in-
stead of "his-story" as the editor
dishes it out-papers of its own
political party might not be con-
strained to say as the Milwaukee
Journal recently did: "The Balsam
Lake Ledger is paper with which
we most heartily disagree.

the LESSON OF vANDfpBllrs COOK.

Mr.. Vanderbilt pays his cook
$4,000 year, which is a great
deal more than we can get, because
he can cook, that is all. Presum-
ably because he can cook better
than any other man in America.
If Monsieur Saucegravi could cook
tolerably well, and shoot a little,
and speak three languages toler-
ably well, and keep books fairly,
and sing some and understand gar
dening pretty well, and could
preach fair sort of sermon, and
know something about horses, and
could telegraph little, and could
do light porter's work, and could
read proof tolerably we'll, and could
do plain house and sign painting,
and could help on threshing ma
chine, and knew enough law to
practice in Justices court in Kick
apoo township, and had once run
for the legislature, and knew how
to weigh hay, he would not get
$4,000 a year for it. He gets that
Just because he knows how to
cook. 1t wouldn't make a cents
difference in his salary if he
thought the world was fiat and
that it went about its orbit on
wheels. There's nothing like
knowing your business through
and through, from withers to hough
whether you know anything else
or not What's the good of know
ing everything? A great financier
once said to a youth: What is
your greatest ambition?" 'To be
rich man" was the reply. "That's
where you're fool" answered the
hnancier, you ought to strive to
be the greatest in your line in the
world, and you can't help being
rich. I'D School.

A Wondered Li.er to Women.

We have received word of a most remark
able offer which is to be made TO women by
The Delineator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next wear begins .
new century, The Delineator offers TO distri-
butte S. 500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleverly arranged that woman living in
a small town or village, has just as good q
chance TO win one of these 1901 prizes as a
woman living in a city-because the prizes
are gwen for the number of subscriptions
secured IN a town in proportion TO the popu-
latlon of that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list OF
subscriDers-which, of course are most easily
obtaned in big cities. Another clever feature
of the plan is, that all the cities and towns OF
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged IN seven classes. The cities of the
greatest population are grouped in Glass !,
and as these cities are not very many. the
prizes offered are twenty EIGHT; the high
est prize being $500, and the lowest So. 90.
The total amount OF prizes given away in tins
class is $1,000 The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes. and as
the number of towns in class increases, be-
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount OF prizes given
away to a class Increases, so that in Glass 7,
there will be $4,000 distributed among FOL
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one of the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
thew equal one out of every TWO hundred in.
habitants of the town from which the con.
tesu,nt sendS them.
This is altogether very liberal offer and
one which the famous old Deltnedtor is " ell
able to make good from our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs TO be
made by the Publishers of The Deitneato, for
we believe it nlready has nearly half a million
subscribers It's strong hold upon the affcc.
tons of American women has come in the

CUTTING WATCH GLASSES.

In the production of common
watch glasses the glass is blown
into a sphere about meter in di-
ameter, sufficient material being
taken to give the desired thick
ness, as the case may be. Disks
are then cut out from this sphere
with the aid of pair of compasses
having diamond at the extremity
of one leg. There is knack in
detaching the disk after it has been
cut. A good workman will, it is
said, cut 5000 glasses in a day.

GREAT NAVAL STATION IN THE PHILIPPINES

If the plans of the Navy De-
partment are adopted by Congress
a fve-million-dollar naval station
will be established at Olongapo,
Subig Bay, Luzon.
Upon the recommendation of
Rear Admiral Endicott, Chief of
the Bureau of Yards and Docks,
Secretary Long has appointed a
board consisting of Rear Admiral
Taylor and Civil Engineers VOL
colt and Menocal to meet at the
New York Navy Yard for the pur-
pose of preparing the plans and
estimates upon which Congress
will be urged to act. The board,
which Rear Admiral Remey was
president, only selected the site
for the projected station, leaving
to the department to determine
upon its extent. The dry dock to
be built at Olongapo will cost at
least a million dollars, and the
shops and tools are expected to
cost at least 81, 100000.
