The End Of an lIIustrious Name.

The New Orleans Picayune brings
us an account OF the death of Ser
g"ant Smith Prentiss. a leading men,
Der Of the Louisiana bar, brilliant
speaker, and a brave soldier Of the
Confederacy. What memories his
name arouses of his father who bore
the same name. the Maine born Scar
gent Smith Prentiss who became one
of the most prominent and best be-
loved citizens of the far South, and
unqucstionably one of the greatest
orators America has ever produced
Scargent Smith Prentiss, the first of
the name. was born in Portland in 1908,
graduated from Bowdoin in 1926 and
went at once to Mississippi where he
became school teacher While
teaching he studied law and instan-
taneous success followed his admission
to the bar. His election to the Mis-
sissippi legislature and then to Con-
Gress followed in quick order and be-
fore he was 30 he was known through
cut the country as one of the most
brilliant and effective public speakers
of his time. BY many of his con-
temporarics and also by many Of those
who have since studied his orations,
he has been held to be the greatest
orator our country has ever produced.
He was alike successful in politics and
at the bar and while yet a relatively
young man with every prospect of
many years of success and usefulness
before him, he died suddenly in 1850 at
his residence near Natchez. His son
of the same name who died in New
Orleans last week has spent his life in
Louisiana where he has been a dis
tinguished and respected citizen. Sew
eral years ago his young son of the
same name, a brilliant young fellow
who had just graduated at Tulane Uni
versity and started with great prom
Use in the profession of law, was car
ried to a premature grave. Thus have
passed away the grandfather. father
and son bearing an illustrious name
which originated a century ago here i'm
our own State and which was loved
and ADMIRED by the South as have been
the names of few of her native sons.

The College Yell.
Indianapolis News.)

1t would be interesting to know
wnen and where the first college yell
originated and what is represented,
but without going into a historical in
quiry, it is enough to know that the
custom has become practically univer-
sal-sO that college without a col
lege yell can hardly claim any educa-
tional status. There are 2GS univer-
sites and colleges, each with its dis
IincIive veil. These yells do not show
any remarkable originality in Con-
structiOn; in fact, the field does not
admit of much, but they all show 10y
atty to the particular college, and
doubtless mean a great deal to the
students. Viewed in the abstract and
without reference 10 the college life,
they are about as meaningless as any
series of articulate sounds could >be,
but they are college yells, and that is
[ r excuse for being.

In the past five years there have been
nv. explosions on American battle
ships and the loss Of life has been, no
less than 6S men. In each case the
scene has been the turrct of battle
ship Nine men were killed on the

the Missouri. seven on the Kearsarge.
and now IL or more on the Georgia.
In addition, the muZZles of three guns
Of the iowa were blown off on two oc-
casions, fortunately without loss of
life This is terrible record. par
ticularly by contrast with the navy's
immunity during the war with Spain
and the hrstilities i'm the Philippines.
The heavy-armored cruisers and the
monitors have gone through their tar
get practice unscathed and. what is
even more striking. accidents of just
this kind do not seem to occur on for

that there has been a similar disaster
In the German or French navies. and

Heroes in the Georaia's Turret.

Heroes in the Georgia's Turret.
As we get the details of that awful
|, tragedy in the turret of the battles ship
Georgia by which eleven men lost their
lives and dozen others were terribly
injured. we find that it was marked by
the same fine deeds of heroism which
have always characterized American
sailors in times of danger and blood
shed. One sailor, whose name is not
given, threw himself forward to close
the hatchway leading down to the
magazine below the turret, knowing
own life but that he would save the
ship from being blown to pieces
Another sailor. whose name, Orlof
Tagland, is suggestive to Viking origin
threw himself upon his superior officer
Lieutenant Goodrich, dashing that
officer to the deck and shielding him
by his own quivering flesh from the
awful heat of the burning powder His
heroic bravery. however, failed in its
intent for Lieut.. Goodrich died later
in the hospital. One of the finest
deeds of heroism was that of Midship-
man kimbali. who had presence of
mind to hold his breath and crouch
with his cap over his face and then,
cnjn0 hole -
powder gases which it meant death to
breathe, dashed to the rescue of his
fellow shipmates and beat out the
fiames consuming the scraps of cloth
ing remaining on their unconscious
forms
The scenes within the narrow
quarters of that turret beggared all
description, but it is certain that in
that blazing hell our sailors, as they
have done for 1870 years, showed that
they are still made of the stuff that
turns out heroes and martyrs. When
the Georgia had been brought to Ros-
ton and the dozen injured men, all
horribly burned, We're brought ashore
them gave the slightest token Of his
sufferings. They bore their agony
with stoicism and fortitude which is
beyond the understanding Of most of
us. There was one incident on the
steps of the hospital especially
eloquent Of the morale and discipline
that prevails in our navy Standing
on the landing was one of the lieutcn-
ants of the vessel. and coming up the
steps was all that was mortal of a
seaman borne in the arms of two men
The poor fellows left forearm was
pandages. Coming abreast of the
lieutenant he stopped, his supporters
feebly lifted his right hand to his
head and saluted. Such is the courage
of the men in our navy.
Such Il terrible sacrifice as that on
the Georgia is one that is not without
It's uses. for it stirs the people of our
country to an appreciation of the
character Of the men in our naval
service and inspires a deeper spirit OF
patriotism in those who read of such
acts as have been instanced above.
Lieutenant Goodrich, the only com
missioned officer who lost his life, was
the third and last son of Admiral
Goodrich. Both of the others went
INTO the army and one died at San
Juan hill and the other of disease con-
tracted in the service
