REAR-ADMIRAL W. s. sCHLEY.:

Rear-Admiral Schley is the sixth
in his grade, and has served (Janu-
airy, 19O1) nearly eighteen years at
sea, over twenty-five years on shore
stations, and has awaited orders or
been on leave for about four years
in all-these periods closely T
spending to the similar ones in the
record of Admiral Dewey. His sea-
service aggregate is a little in xcess
of the average of the eighteen rear
admirals now on the list. By opera
ton of law, his active career termi-
mates on his si~xty-seoond birthday,
October 9, 1901, and he then finally
retires on three quarter sea-pay, or
about S., 800 per year.
p Personally, he is hale, hearty,
grizzled rather than gray, and de-
spite the severe trials, physical and
mental, incident to his long career,
is as genial and good natured as he
was as a mid shipman. He has a
keen and refreshing n of humOr,
delights in ga good story" harbors
no malice, and has a singular facil-
ity for seeing the best side of his
enemies. In his own official report
On the Korean fight, he goes out of
his way to compliment the bravery
of the savage who tried to spear him.
He is nearer in habits, disposition,
and feelings to the typical seaman of
the old sea stories than any other
man in active service. He is no
''sea lawyer" and is very apt to say
what he thinks, quite regardless of
Interior consequences.
As an administrator, he becomes
careful and conservative, as his man
agement of the Bureau of Equipment
and Lighthouse Establishment amply
attests. Professionally, he is neither
a Chesterfield" nor a SHARP
these terms being navy slang for the
ornamental individual who shines in
diplomacy, ceremOnialfunotiOns, and
department., and the close specialist
who devotes his chief energies to
ordnance, electricity, engineering,
or some other branch of science,
rather than to things more nearly
appertaining to the brine. He is a
good all-round naval officer, a master
of his own particular profession.
His especial prediction is his
high respect and regard for "Jacky,"
which is the service name for the
enlisted man generically. He firmly
believes in promotion TO commits
stoned grades directly from the
ranks, warmly denounces the sys-
tenn which, he contends, says that
an American citizen can only go so
far in the naval career and bars his
advancement to the highest honors,
and to all arguments co~ntrariwise
simply replies that he knows the
problem is difficult, but that this
country has sense enough to solve
it. He is a strict disciplinarian, and
yet is reputed to have always had
what the sailors call a "happy ship"
Those who have served under him
are among his strongest friends.
His life partner of thirty eight
years is still beside him; his only
daughter is married, and he has me
son a p~racticing physician of note in
New York, and another a captain in
the army.
Such is the record of a faithful,
tried, and distinguished public ser
vant-saving only that part OF 1t
which n o " leads him TO cont1de his
honor and his reputation to the JUS
tice of his countrymen.-From he
view of Reviews for September.

Palmer Is In Luck.

In previous issues of The Expositor
we have published articles which con-
tanned information in regard to the
mines and mining interests of our old
friend and former fellow townsman,
j. NJ. Palmer. He is heard from again
in the following article taken from the
Spokane (Wash.) Daily Chronicle which
we believe will be read with interest
by our many readers and friends of Mr..
Palmer
"The Copper Wonder group of min
ing claims situated on Sophie mountain
about 10 miles from Rossland, b. g.,
has been bonded by j. M. Palmer, a
mining man from Spokane, who is now
negotiating with eastern parties for
the purchase of the property.
The price of the land is 100000 and
calls for continuous work for the six
months which the bond runs. The
group consists of seven claims and a
fraction aud is situated near the fam
GUS Velvet mines owned by the British
Columbia company.
The development work that has been
done on the property amounts to about
$4,000 and consists of tunnels, open
and crosscuts and shafts. The ledge
of copper on the main claim, the Cop
per Wonder, is fully 100 feet wide and
the average assays are said to be about
1913. The mine has been exported by
+. w. Liljegran, ex-superintendent OF
the lie Roi mine, and it was upon his
report that the property was bonded.

The Franklin Stock Co.

This company appeared before a
Yale audience for the first time We'd
pesday evening, March 27, and were
we'll received. The first play present
ed was the standard comedy drama
"Across the Rockies" in three acts
with specialties, in which was display
ed life in the wild west twenty-five
years ago. All present enjoyed this.
Thursday evening the company was
greeted by much larger audience in
their three one-act dramas which gave
entire satisfaction, and the verdict of
all was that it had been some time
since Yale people had the pleasure of
seeing better plays.
MIR, a. A. Jack, manager of the COM
paDy, is laying plans for theatre cir

RAILWAYS AND HIGHWAYS.
How the Former Are Benefited By

The Illinois Central railroad has
started a very practical movement in
this section In the interest of good
roads, says the New Orleans Times

we feel confident. the support OF all
and will be followed by the other com
panies as well. 1t is needless to point
out that railroad is benefited by good
roads In the country II runs through

tributary region Of course brings bust.
ness and prosperity to 1t.
Good roads allow produce for ship
ment by the railroad to be brought q
much longer distance and In better
condition than otherwise possible. II
the roads are bad, 1t will scarcely pay
to haul goods more than u or Is miles
they will not bear longer Transports
tion-but II the highways are well
maintained these same goods can be
hauled % and 80 miles at no greater
cost. But while II is undoubtedly to
the interest Of the companies to look
after the highways and make sure that
they are maintained in good order, the
railroads have generally SO much other
work to attend to that they can scarce
ly give time and attention to this mat
ter, which cannot be regarded as q
part Of their legitimate duties.
The good roads movement shows
great strength in the north, where a
| 4
way will pay for itself In two years
that Is, the profit Of the farmers from
the cheaper hauling will in two years
exceed the original cost of the high
way. The south, however. has done
little In this matter as yet. for which
reason the work Of the Illinois Central
will be all the more appreciated.
