Those UnpronounceabIe Names.

The difficulty Of prOnOuncinG bOtn

know any remedy for the proper hand

on the subject and will be welcomed By
thousands.

An Unusual Honor.

The much coveted medals of honor.
the highest reward of merit given by
the United States, are usually very
slow in reaching the persons who have
earned them, some of those given for
galIantry in the Civil War being pre-
sented forty years or so afterward.
The latest to be awarded was given to
Richard H. Taylor, an officer of the
United States Secret Service, we'll
known as the personal guard Of the
President, Saturday, by the Navy De-
pertinent for conspicuous gallantry
during the awful hurricane at Apia,
Samoa on March 16,1SS9. AS mark
of special favor, the presentation was
made by President Roosevelt himself
at the White House, where Mr.. Taylor
is detailed to duty.
e Mr.. Taylor entered the naval
service in 1856. He was graduated
from the Naval School at

sued by the Secretary of the Navy, and
given his choice of ships of the navy on
which he desired to serve. He chose
the Nipsic, which was about to start on
a cruise around the world. At Callao'
Peru, after an eventful passage around
the Horn, the Nipsic received orders to
proceed to Apia, Samoa, where II state
of war existed among the natives OF the
islands, in which American interests
were in jeopardy. For three months
the Nipsic guarded American rights III
the islands, and then was joined by the
Trenton and Vandalia, the former be-
ing at that time the pride of the Amerl-
can Navy. The entire squadron WAS
wrecked in the hurricane of March To-
1888, together with the German war
ships Eber and Adler, while the Nlpsic
was beached and finally saved.
AS a partial reward for his gallantry,
Mr.. TAYLOR vas promoted to the rank OF
schoolmaster and was detailed as
confidential clerk to the commander or
the Nipsic. He continued in the service
until 1891, when he resigned.
