Guard at the Home.
A guard of honor, composed of blue
jackets from the gunboat Dolphin and
the presidential yacht Mayflower, was
stationed at the Dewey home.
It has practically been decided to
hold funeral services for the admiral
In the capitol, under the /Some, Satur
day morning at 11 o'clock. The body,
however, will not be viewed by the
public. In the event that the plan is
perfected, congress would adjourn
that day.
President Wilson will issue an ex
ecutive order closing all government
departments on Saturday.
Mourned by Nation,
In official and diplomatic circles and
elsewhere the loss of the country's
most distinguished naval offic
mourned today. President Wilson in
a statement voiced his own and the
nation's grief. Secretary Daniels like
wise paid tribute.
President's Tribute.
When the news of the admiral';
death was received at the white house
last night President Wilson authorized
the following statement
"In expressing his grief at the death
of Admiral Dewey, the president said
the whole nation will mourn the loss
of its most distinguished naval officer
a man who has been as faithful,
Intelligent and as successful in the
performance of his responsible duties
in time of peace as he was gallant and
successful in time of war. It is just
such men that give the service dis
tinction and the nation a just pride in
those who serve it."
Flags at Half Mast.
American naval vessels and stations
throughout the world received word l»y
wireless of the admiral's death, with
orders to display flags at half-mast.
Admiral Dewey suffered a collapse
last Thursday, although the day previ
ous he was at his desk apparently In
his usual good health. I lis condition
grew rapidly Worse and he had not
been conscious since Monday. Tho
end came at 5; 56 last evening. Death
wrs due to a general breakdown ac
companied by arterlo sclerosis.
His Career.
rnnk. Farragut was the first and
Porter the second. It was under Far
Admiral George Dewey, "hero
Manila bay," fought and won the fir3t
great American naval battle against
a foreign foe since the war of 7.812
His whole life was full of honorable
achievements from the days of the
civil war down to the time when, as
the head of the general board, he be
gan the last chapter of his work by
laying plans for the defense of his
country in time of war. His life was
a striking exemplification of the possi
bilities of a career based upon the
exact and intelligent performance of
every routine duty which molds a man
on inflexible lines of duty and honor.
One of the curious freaks of fortune
in Dewey s case was that for perhaps
the first and only time in his naval
career he was disposed to protest
against the edict of the navy depart
ment which carried him into the far
east, where he was destined to per
form the greatest feat of his life and
to win imperishable renown. That
was back in 1898 when the war clouds
were gathering and Dewey felt that
he was being 'shelved;" that the war
with Spain was to be fought out in
the Gulf of Mexico and in the Carib
bean sea and that he, distant by half
the circumference of the globe, would
stund no chance of winning glory, for
at that moment no thought whatever
had been given to the Philippines.
But he took his orders and. like a true
sailor, obeyed them. The result is
a page of history under date of May
1, 1898.
Battle of Manila Bay.
Contrary to Spanish expectations,
■ > -wey sailed into Manila bay on tho
»ight of April 30, and In the morning
the next day he annihilated Admiral
iontojo's squadron, destroying 1
warships and capturing all other ves
•Is and all the land batteries with
ut the loss of a man on the Ameri
can side.
Upon his triumphant return to the
United States he was feted by the
nation. His admirers presented him
with a beautiful home in the national
capital. Congress gave him an en
graved sword, and raised him from
the rank of commodore to rear admiral
and then to the full rank of the ad
miral of the navy.
The Third Admiral.
Admiral Dewey was tb£ third Amer
ican to reach that pinlmcle of naval
ragut that Dewey received his first
baptism in war.
"Valuable as the training of An
napolis was, it was poor »chooling be
side that of serving under Farragut in
time of war," Admiral Dewey once
said. "Whenever I have been in a
difficult situation or in the midst of
such a confusion of details that the
simple and right thing to do seemed
hazy. I have often asked myself,
What would Farragut do?' In the
course of preparations for Manila bay.
1 often asked myself this question, and
I confess I was thinking of him tho
night we entered the bay and with the
conviction that I was doing precisely
what he would bave done."
Wanted to Go to West Point.
George Dewey was born in the
shadow of Vermont's state c&pltol at
Montpelier, on the day following
Christmas in 1837. At the age of 17
he reached the cross-roads of his ca

reer; one road led to West Point, the
other to Annapolis. Young Dewey
favored the former, but—
"There was no vacancy for West
Point from Vermont," explained the
admiral in reviewing his life. "Other
wise I might have gone into Manila
bay on an army transport instead of
on the Olympia. But it happened that
there was a vacancy at Annapolis, so
I entered the navy."
In Civil War.
At the outbreak of the civil war
Dewey was 23 years old. He was com
missioned a lieutenant, and guided the
Mississippi as its executive officer in
Farragut's historic dash past New
Orleans and its forts. Ho was not
so successful at Port Hudson. Farra*
gut went through, hut Dewey and the
Mississippi ran aground under the
guns of the forts. The ship was sot
afire and during the transfer of the
crew under fire the young officer
"lived five years in an hour."
In Time of Peace.
From the close of the civil war until
the opening of the Spantsh-Amerlcan
-, the life of the American naval
officer was made up of routine duty
at sea and ashore. During this period
the future admiral cruised; taught a
class at Annapolis; surveyed Lower
California and part of the west coast
of Mexico; carried supplies to the sur
vivors of the siege of Paris: performed
duty at Boston navy yard and the
naval torpedo station at Newport; In
spected lighthouses and served as
naval secretary on the lighthouse
board; spent two years traveling on a
sick leave In search of health: four
years as chief of the bureau of equip
ment: and at the age of 59 was serv
ing as president of the hoard of In
spection and survey with the rank of
commodore. It was in this important
naval office that he presided at the
trials of all the battleships, except the
Oregon, which were to demolish the
Spanish squadron at Santiago.
Gift House Incident.
Shortly after his return from Manila
hay. Admiral Dewey found himself in
the fire of popular criticism over the
The Value of a
Musical Education
The importance of music rs an instru
ment of Education cannot be over exag
gerated and yet the subject has never been
sufficiently considered by parents in the
proper education of the children, for to
teach a child to sins or play a musical
instrument is to endow him with a new
sentie and a new power, both rich in the
potency and otherwise unobtained joy. But
what is the uso of learning if we cannot
learn correctly ? The pity of it is that this
is not understood. Practical experience
has prov«l beyond a doubt that there is a
scientific basis, which if applied success
fully to voice training enables the voice to
stand work and what is just a* important
enables the voice to do its work in the most
efficient manner.
We recognise the hearing of voice cul
ture or school singing and speaking. Its
necessity and high value as contributing to
a musical effort. It makes for refinement
and cultivates good taste and It is a factor
in expression. There are then in a musical
education thess elements, skill, enjoyment
In the sense of hearing, design of motion.
It would be impossible to enumerate all
the great many advantages to be derived
from a musical education. Its virtues are
numerous. It speaks for itself.
Every man. woman and child should be
able to sing or play some instrument. There
are very few people who have not at one
time or another expressed this wish. The
present age demands it. A musician Is
always a social favorite and much sought
after, admired by all and welcome every
where. The demand for talented musicians
is greater than the supply. Msny delight
ful hours can be spent at singing and play
ing. No one with a spark of ambition to
better their present position or condition
can afford to remain without some knowl
edge of music when such opportunity is
presented as the special scholarship course
now being offered by the Butte College of
Music. Pupils can enroll in any of the
following courses: Piano, Voice, Culture.
Violin, Mandolin, Pipe Organ and Ora
tory. The first number of pupils to enroll,

"gift bouse incident." American citi
zens had raised $50,000 by public sub
scription as a testimonial to the hero
of Manila and they presented him with
a house in Washington. Dewey, who
had been a widower since 1872, had
just married Mrs. Mildred McLean
Hazen of Washington, and he turned
over the gift house to her. Shortly
fterward the admiral and Mrs. Dewey
left the gift house and lived in the
wife's former home.
In 1900 Admiral Dewey was serious
ly talked of as n candidate for the re- )
publican nomination as president, but !
the admiral preferred to remain in the
naval ranks rather than to take such 1
a venture in statesmanship. His ad
mirers have since often spoken of him j
us the man who could have been a
president if he had wished.
Controversy With a German.
Early in 1914 Admiral Dewey again i
became conspicuous in the current
news by revival of the long-standing
controversy with Admiral von Died
richs of the German navy regarding
the conduct of the German squadron 1
during the blockade of Manila bay. lu
years before. In hi9 autobiography,)
Admiral Dewey criticised Von Died- ,
richs for falling to observe the neu
trality laws and told how a shot was j
fired across the hows of one of the
German ships to impress it with the
fact that the American navy had es
tablished a blockade and would coun
tenance no undue activity on the part
of the German ships, suspected at the
time as friendly to Spain.
"A difference of opinion about in
ternational law had been adjusted,"
said Dewey, "without adding to the
sum of President McKinley's worries."
Dewey was always a great student
of history; he knew every naval cam
paign that had been waged from the
days of ancient Greece and Romo, had
analyzed them and knew why defeat
or victory had come from certain
movements, and this without doubt
was one of the factors that contributed
to his own success in warfare.
Tribute by Sampson.
One of the finest estimates of Ad
miral Dewey's character is contained
in a tribute rendered to him by his
old-time shipmate. Admiral Sampson,
who was fighting the Spaniards in the
Caribbean while Dewey was lying In
Manila bay, resting on the laurels he
had won in the famous battle of the
first of May. Sampson said:
"The service knows Dewey as an
ideal head of a fleet. Perfectly
courageous, of thoroughly balanced
Judgment, and quick of decision, he
has the qualities which carry one to
fame if opportunity be given. The
man and the hour fortunately came
together and the country is richer in
another brilliant page of history and j
another heroic figure. His career has
given a lofty impetus to the young
which will hear fruit in nobler aspira
tions. He has become one of the most
valued possessions which a nation can
have—a national hero."
