JOHN PAUL JONES
The Name and Fame of Jones is Familiar to
Every American School-Boy. He Was the
Father Of Uur Navy and Raised the First Flag
That Was Hoisted on an American Ship.

as a naval officer. The record of
what he accomplished in that ca
pacity is known to every student
Of history. When the Revolution
airy comet was ended he entered
the Russian navy as a rear ad-
miral, and for a victory over the
Turks was promoted to vice adj
miral. Unable to obtain an indie
pendent command he resigned
from the Russian service. He was
appointed American consul at
Algiers in 1892, but died on July
Is of that year at Paris before his
commission reached him.
1t is the irony of fate that al
though his body was prepared
for the tomb in such manner
that it could be transported to the
United States within a short per-
iod after his decease, yet that
nearly one hundred and
thirteen years should have
elapsed without such action, and
that in the meanwhile it's very
resting place should have been
forgotten and a long and difficult
search necessitated to discover it.
That the search has been success
full there appears to be no doubt.
The credit for this is due to Am
basSador Porter who, despite the
fact that congress refused the
funds required to prosecute it,
carried it on at his own cost.
When the body of the great naval
officer is brought to this country
lit will receive the hOnors due to
the memory Of the indomitable
spirit that once animated it.

The announcement by Gen. Hor-
ace Porter, our ambassador to
France, of the finding of the re-
mains of John Paul Jones in a
cemetery at Paris will be recelv-
ed with satisfaction by the Amer
icon people generally. The name
and fame of Jones is known to
every American schoolboy. He
was the father of our navy in
more senses than one, for he
raised the first flag that was
hoisted on an American ship OF
war after the United States had
declared itself a free and indie
pendent nation, and he followed
this up with the most notable
achievements. His fight on the
Bonhomme Richard with the
Scraps stands umequaled in the
history of single ship conflicts, and
the account of it reads more like a
romance than a record of actual
facts.
Jones was not an American by
birth. He was born in Scotland
on July 6, 1747. His natal name
was John Paul. In 1773 he came
to Virginia to take possession of
an estate left him by a brother.
He had early developed a fond
ness for the sea. and at the age of
IS commanded a vessel trading
from Great Britain to the West
Indies. 1t was but natural, there
fore. that when the Revolutionary
war broke out and he espouSed the
cause of the American patriots he
should have offered his services

business is Of large volume; dry
goods. clothing, footwear and all

for fall delivery is broadening,
and there is more inclination to

the iron and steel industry lead

is also above all records, for there
is no accumulation at the fur
naces. Textile mills are also well
engaged. as a rule, and forward
