One ot tho bravo jackic who
"'was with Dewey" at the battle of
Manila I'ay tells this new anecdote
of the great admiral. The teller is
Harry Deghman, a sailor of the
cruiser I'oston, and hi story is this ;
"Tho most affecting incident
which occurred, and which all tho
sailor will remember through their
live, was tho accident of a powder
boy. These boy act a aiJe to
captain and lieutenants in carrying
message and doing errands. When
the order was given to strip for
action, one of the loy tore his coat
off hurriedly, and it fell from his
hand and went over the rail down
into the bay. A few moment be
fore ho had been gazing on his
mother' photograph, and just bo-
lore lie took In coat oil he had kissed
the picture ami put it in hi inside
pocket. Wlion tho coat full over
tKiard ho turned to the captain and
asked permission to iiimn overboard
and get it. Natunlly the request
was refused I lie lxy then went
to tho other side of tho ship and
climbed down tho ladder. He wam
around to the place where the coat
had dropped, and succeeded in (ret
ting it. 1 believe it was still floating
when ho got there.
"Whon ho came back lie was
ordered in chains lor disoliedieneo.
Alter tho baltlo he was tried by a
court-martial for disoliedienee and
found guilty. Commodore Dewey
became interested in tho cam;, for
ho could not understand why the
boy had risked hi lite and disobeyed
order for a coat. The lad hud never
told what his motives were. Hut
when he commodore talked to him
in a kindly way, and askec him why
he had done such strance things for
an old coat, ho broke into tears and
told tho commodore that his moth-
er's picture was in the coat.
"Commodore Dewev s eyes filled
with tears as he liatened to the
story. Then ho picked the boy up
in his arms and embraced him. He
ordered tho little fellow to be in
stantly released and pardoned.

In the First Presbyterian Church.
Camden, ome night ago, Kev. W.
11. I'lsliburn, D. D , preached to a
congregation which crowded the
church, on tho power of the print
ing press. Hi wrmon waa espo
eislly to "newspaper men and news
paper readers,'' hi theme being:
"I.et tho People Know." Ho said
the world was nearing the time,
through tho tried in in of the press,
when it would bo possible to preach
the Gospel to every creature. He
traced the origin of printing from
its beginnings, and spoke of some
of tho triumph of our civilization
as wroneht throuji the publication
of news. He said :
"The President can speak, the
King can roak, the Kmperor can
speak, but tliere is a voice more po
tent and more loud, that speaks
when they are done speaking; that
sends a trembling to the knee of
president and king and emperors
who dare to do wrong, and that is
the voice of the press, that catche
up their sins and tells thetn to the
people. The fear of exposure thro'
the columns of the newspaper keeps
more men toeing the line of public
rigbtetinsnes than all the policemen
and all the courts of law. One
might bribe the judiciary to be si
lent, but no man is large enough to
bribe the public press to lie silent
when he has done a great wrong."
Another Biltmore Story.

Mr. George W. Vanderbllf, the
millionaire owner of Ihltinore, ha
tired of In vast estate and country
seat near Aehcville and that he will
make a present of it to ihc State of
North Carolina.
Mr. Yanderbilt denied a story to
this fleet a year or more ago. l'ut
here il is h new form, as contained
in the New York special.
"There are ginxl grounds for be
lieving thai George Yanderbilt con
templates presenting his magnificent
estate, liiltmure, to the State of
North Carolina, to be used as a State
institution, presumably an agricul

that lie would leave it at his death

If the young man- beginning his

an order can bo given with an aa
Btiraneo that it will bo faithfnlly and
intelligently executed are very rare,
except, perhaps, in the naval and
military service, where absolute
obedience to order is exacted. In
civil life much latitude is allowed
to the injury of tho service. The
servant (using tho term in the broad
sense as meaning any one unde
orders,; if ho lo a civilian, scarcely
ever moves to ol-y without asking
some quest ions: hy do you want
this dono ? Cannot some one else do
it f Theso and similar question
btsjt tho employer who direct
something to bo done, or if the in
quisitive spirit has been suppressed,
tho order is sullenly obeyed more
as a matter of form than with the
purpose to accomplish tho end to
which it is directed. This is the
standing grievance of the emnlover
or moor, no welcomes tho cheer
ful employe who frits to carry out
ins wishes or even to anticipate
them, and it ia this employe who is
selected for advancement 'when the
opHirtiinity conies for promotion

tending to tho work in hand, con
cerns himself about a fnir division
of lalmr; who wants to know why
some task cannot bo assigned to a
fullow worknian or question wheth
er it is worth while to do the thing
that has been ordered, doc not
favotably impress the busy man of
affairs, who has little time to ex plain
to his agents the purpose he may
have in view. The young man just
entering business life will know and
understand this some year hence,
when ho is either in the position ot
an employer of labor or has failed

tolerated workman becmso of
his Peevishness and inabilitv In
promptly respond to the orders he
receives. Put he ought to know it
now or accept the advice of those
who have learned the lesson by ex
piriencc. Civil administration of
alfaiis differs from military rule ; it
is necessary, perhaps, that there
should bo this difference in order to
pern, it individual development, and
yet the civilian who has had military
training in the matter of obedience
to orders is more useful in civil life
than one w ho is not amenable to
discipline. Tho man who can be
trusted: who works as earnest I v
during hid employer's absence as
when lie is under surveillance ; who
can lie given an order and le left

admitted to greater and greater re
sponsibilities and drifts naturally
into position of command and iuto
confidential relations. The civil-
Mjrviee examination to w hich gov

cinmsy but necessary imitation of
the examination to which employes
in private lite arc almost constantly
subjected. In the store, or office,
or factory I here pro no stated riids
at which an examination for pro
motion is held ; there aro no set
questions to lie asked and answered,
but the employer or some one in an
thority is constantly examining
those who help him, that he may
learn their capabilities and de
termine which among them are
ritted lor higher place. The young
man should keep this in mind, at d
he should aim to tit himselt for com

attending strictly to his own duties,
resisting the temptation to attend
to the division of work lictween
himself and his feIlor-clerks, or to

that may bo given to him. Py
following this rule he will attract

Havana's Pasteboard Forts.
A late Havana sH'eial says ; Col.
mm lias lxen making an inspec
tion of the fort around Havana,
preparatory to a report to General
rooke. He say that enormous
sums were spent by the Spaniards
upon defense that are now utterly
worthies. Cabana fortress alone
cost originally $M,00m,0oo, but two
or tbree well directed shots would
demolish it, and the same ie to be
said of all the other fortifications
including Motro Castle. On the
land side the forts sre equally un
protected. Col. Keid says that one
sharpshooter stationed on the roof
of lacon Theatre, with an ordinary
service rifle, could practically. render
any Havana fort untenable, while a
single artillery shot could, in many
instances, make a whole wall crum
ble into dust.
There are many who believe in
what is known as mental telepathy
and who declare that they can send
or receive message or impression
irom Iriends thousands of mile

the sad blow is doubly sad.
