MAJORITY REPORT-JUDG-
MENT OF BENHAM AND
RAMSAY.
Commodore Schley, in com
mand of the flying squadron,
should have proceeded with ut
most dispatch offCienfuegos, and
should have maintained a close
blockade of that port.
He should have endeavored,
on May %, at Cienfuegos. to OBJ
tain information regarding the
Spanish squadron by communi-
eating with the insurgents at
the place designated in the mem
orandum delivered to him at S:15
a III. of that date.
He should have proceeded
from Cienfuegos to Santiago de
Cuba with all dispatch, and
should have disposed his ves> els
with a view of intercepting the
enemy in any attempt to pass
the flying squadron.
He should not have delayed
the squadron for the Eagle.
He should not have made the
retrograde turn westward with
his squadron.
He should have promptly obey
ed the Navy departments order
of May %.
He should have endeavored to
capture or destroy the Spanish
vessels at anchor near the en-
trance of Santiago harbor on
May 90 and 80.
He did not do his utmost with
the force under his command to
destroy the Colon and other YES
sells of the enemy which he at
tackled on May 81.
By commencing the engage
ment on July 8 with the port
battery and turning the Brooklyn
around with port helm, Commo-
dore Schley caused it TO lose dis
lance and position with the
Spanish vessels-especially with
the Vizcaya and Colon.
The turn of the Brooklyn to
starboard was made to avoid get
ting into dangerous proximity to
the Spanish vessels. The turn
was made toward the Texas, and
caused that vessel to stop and
back its engines to avoid posi-
BILE collision.
Admiral Schley did injustice
to l. er.tenant Commander A. Z
Hodgson in publishing only a
portion of the correspondence
which passed between them.
Commodore Schley's conduct
in connection with the events of
the Santiago campaign prior to
June l, 1898, was characterized
by vacillation, dilatoriness, and
lack of enterprise
His official reports regarding
the coal supply and the coaling
facilities of the flying squadron
were inaccurate and misleading.
His conduct during the battle
of July 3 was self-possessed. and
he encouraged, IN his own person,
his subordinate officers and men
to fight courageously.

This Is Worth Knowing

A trick Of preserving flowers in sand
is worth trying at the seashore and
bringing supply of sand home for
Winter use. Fine, clean sand must be
used. washed if not perfectly clean and
when dry sifted through a fine sieve
into a rather deep pan or other vessel.
When the sand is deep enough to hold
the flowers upright. more of the sifted
sand is filed in around them with a
spoon. says a writer in Harper's Bazaar.
Care should be taken not to break or
bend the leaves and to see that no little
holes or interstices are left untitled
about the flowers. When they are COW
cred thus carefully, 50 as to be entirely
invisible. the pan is set away to dry
for several days; they must be taken
out with great care, as the leaves are
dry and brittle. Ferns and fiat flowers
like pansies are successfully treated in
this way. Flowers in cup shapes are
laid lengthwise in the sand. the spaces
in and around them carefully filled in
to make the pressure even and exclude
all air

There are strong currents in the So
cial life to-day that are threatening us
as people, which call upon thoughtful
women to oppose. The excessive lux
ury Of our time; the false social stand
ards that are being established; the
worship of externals, are doing much
to mar the harmony of home life.
Even our benevolence partalSes of the
love of external show, says a writer in
the ClubwOman. We would build
Palaces Of Pleasure" for the poor,
have settlement houses and free rest
rooms, and point to them as monu-
ments Of charity representing the sac
rifice and unselfshness Of the more for
tunate class. But alas Manhood is
destroyed, freedom abolished, slavery
Of mind and soul perpetuated by every
new form of charity"
Out of the culture of mind and heart
engendered by club study and work
should grow that largeness of soul that
shalllearn thattrue charity isthe wide
charity that shall leave no place for in
stitutiOnalism. In whatsoever we
share with anothers need. Not what
we give, but what we share, for the
gift without the giver is bare. An IL
lustration of true philanthropic spirit
is instanced in the case fa young seam
stress, who on hearing a lady for whom
she frequently sewed praised for her
many benevOlences. said: THE finest
thing she ever did for me was when
she came one beautiful evening and
took me to ride She might have sent
her carriage. but she came herself, and
we had such a delightful talk" 1t is
true that we can never get back to the
primitive simplicity that marked the
earlier years Of American life, but we
must in some form go back to the es-
sentials we seem to have dropped which
pertain to heart and mind and charac-
ter 1t must come through the leader
ship of refinement and culture, taste
and temperance, establishing in our
home a deeper spiritual life, a noble
love of fellow-beings and a patriotic
belief in our own country All the adj
vantages of enlarged social life, enjoy
ment from study and usefulness and
activity in the community life afforded
to women through their organizations
can effect nothing if the chief resultant
influence is not found in individual
homes.

crown be cut out, when already, as can
be imagined, the hat will assume some
what the shape of a lamp shade. I'm

about the lower edge as a fringe If,
however, the edges are not. in good

about them ruff OF pinked out taffeta
ribbon, either to match or contrast with
the color of the straw leghorn, for
instance. would be most effective with
a grass green ruff about the edges and
few large red peoples scattered over
its surface. Sometimes flowers that
one has in the house are faded, but
even then their cOlOrs can be inten-
sified by painting them afresh with
either tapestry dyes or water colors
Many old straws can also be helped by
touching them up judiciously.
On the other hand, so pretty are
these straw lamp shades that it is quite
worth while to buy the hats, should
they not be forthcoming in any Other
way. Late in the season many decora.
tive ones are sold at remarkably low
prices. To be effective they should al

CHIEF Welsh
MAKES REPORT
Fire Chief Recommends That
All Wires Be Placed
Under Ground

According to the annual report Of Fire
Chief John Welsh, Of the Wilmington
Fire Department, there were IS alarms
Of fire the past year which entailed a real
estate loss of $S2.9515O; personal prop
erty, 42,66S.s5; total, S75,6l9.75. The in
snrance on real estate was S277 900. On
personal property, $1977l0 Total insur-
ance S474,71O.
The notable fires were those at the
stable Of Mcdaniel brothers ON Eleventh
street, near Tatnall, where the loss was
$4,000, and the hair factory of +. Blum
enthal x Co., where the loss was $4,000.
There were two deaths from fire, Miss
Anna Thompson. of No. 1886 Forrest
street, ON August 10, and Mrs. Kate
Clark, of No. 103 Chestnut, ON February
Is.
The Phoenix ambulance responded to
CIT calls This was an increase of 20
over the previous year. Eleven members
of the department died during the year
The cause of fires during the year were
as follows: Arc light /; brick kiln, /;

The chief recommends overhead wires
of all kinds be placed under ground He
also suggests that screens on factory
windows are unnecessary and should be
removed because they are dangerous.
Sky lights and light wells should have
ample safeguards. The law is too lenient
in reference to the storage Of illuminat-
ing fluids of various kinds. All cellars
should be kept free Of rubbish There
should be permanent drivers for hose
carts so as to increase the efficiency Of
the department. A semi-annual test Of
the fire companies and their apparatus
is recommended. The report also gives
statistics concerning the population of
Wilmington, a list of the members of the
FIRE department and the names Of the
members who have died during the year.
