and will retire. In July Captain Wain- ;
wright will become a Tear admiral by
the retirement o,f Rear Admiral Wil

According to the best knowledge and
belief of the navy and the country in !
general, the fleet is to make a visit to
the Philippine Islands after Sari Fran
cisco has had a chance to glimpse the
salmon hued funnels of the big ships.
The cruise to Asiatic-American waters
may require a matter of two years. It i
is advisable, therefore, that a fleet j

' Do Not Crowd the Season.
The first warm days of spring bring
with them a desire to get out and

brought out and you wonder where

comes and people say that grip is epi

she fled, and the other was beached by
her officers to save the crew from
drowning. The Gloucester had bagged

' "The Maine is avenged!" remarked
Wainwright to a brother officer peering
through his glasses at the wrecks of
the destroyers.
A little later Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright had the honor of receiv
ing aboard his vessel Admiral Ccrvera,
commander of the defeated fleet, as a
prisoner of war. Wainwright received
Cervera with chivalric courtesy, but Itl
Is not to be denied that the-recent ex
ecutive officer of the Maine felt a thrill
of satisfaction whoso tendrils trailed
back to" the deserted hulk in Havana
harbor.
Of course Richard Wainwright was
from that day forth one of the heroes
of the short lived war. With the San
tiago naval battle the war was prac
tically ended. Wainwright returned to
his native city, Washington, where the
secretary of the navy served as spokes
man in presenting him with a sword
from the citizens in this laconic but
significant little speech: -
"There is a roll of honor, Commn'nder
Wainwright, which is known as that of
the bravest of the brave. On that Im
i)1 risliable roll your name has been
written by your countrymen. In token j
f your title I present to you, to have i
and to hold and to hand down to your
boy, this r-word, the loving gift of your
many friends."
Some Other Wainwrights.
After the war Wainwright held sev
eral high posts in the naval service.
Including thev saperintf ndency of the
Xaval academy at Annapolis, where his
own son Richard, the youth to whom
the secretary of the navy alluded in
his brief address, was a cadet. Young
Wainwright is now a nontenant in the

A. T. Stewart was a Scotch-Irishman,
born in Ireland and educated at

scholar," devoted to books in his early
Jife and with no idea of entering trade.
When he came to America, at the age

about $5,000, and upon the advice of

At the outset Stewart made up his

business and to add more customers
by pleasiug those he got It was his
boast in old age that iu all his career
