Market street. Something About the Naval Hero of the Hour. OHIO WAS HIS BIETHPLACE. Oould Never Have Become Great Had It Been Otherwise. Dr.

0. Jacobs, of Akron, Knew Him Well at Annapolis. Commodore George Dewey, the hero of Manila, the brave American who met and destroyed an entire Spanish fleet at the Philippine islands, was a school mate of Dr. William C. Jacobs.

He, with Commodore Schley, of the Flying squadron, and Admiral Sampson, commander of the North Atlantic squadron, were close friends of Dr. Jacobs, having attended the Annapo lis school at the same time, Just previous to the breaking out of the Civil war. Commodore Dewey is now about 61 years old. He belongs in Vermont and was appointed to the naval academy from that state In 1854. In speaking of him Dr.

Jacobs said to a Beacon Journal reporter: "He is a brave man who does not know the meaning of fear. He is not a theoretical fighter. He is a quiet man but full of heroism aud wonderful patriotism. After he left Annapolis he was a lieutenant on board the steamer frigate Mississippi the brave ship that carried the colors of another hero, the immortal Perry. The hottest fight that the Missis sippi ever engaged in was her last one, and this was perhaps as hot as any of the war.

In March, 1S03, the fleet tried to run by the Confederate batteries at Port Hudson. Some of the ships got as far as a narrow part of the channel, where they met land batteries almost muzzle to muzzle, and then they were forced to retreat. The Mississippi did not get as far as this A foggy day had been chosen for the attempt, and this was soon made more secure by the smoke of battle, and amid this the Mississippi lost her bearings and ran ashore. Her officers found that she had struck just under the guus of the bat tery in the middle of the line of forti fications and one of the strongest of the lot. In half an hour 250 shots struck the vessel and she was rid died from end to end.

There was no chance to hold her, and her crew took to their boats and landed on the opposite side of the river, after setting her on fire. Soon, lightened by the loss of her crew and by the fire, she drifted off, and, blazing and saluting with bursting shells, she drifted down the river, until finally the fire reached her magazines, and her carreer was ended in one great explosion. It did not give up until it was beaten to pieces. Lieutenant Dewey stuck to his guns until the last, aud he did not quit the vessel until he went with tue captain after all others had got out of the destruction. Admiral Porter signaled out the youthful Lieutenant for special praise.

He spoke of him in words that are the sweetest reward that an officer can be given above We opened, today an immense stock of Flowers, beauties which everybody wants. Hats The best styles for now. Ribbons The latest novelties. Chiffons In the new shades. 500 Elegant Trimmed Hats very cheap.

Dewey was next attached to the steam gunboat Agawan, of the North Atlantio blockading squadron, and ho took part in the two attacks made on Fort Fisher In December, 1S04, aud January, 1SC5. In March, 1805, he got bis commission as lieutenant-com mander, and as such served on the famous old Kearsarge and on the Colorado, the flagship of the European squadron, until 18US, when he was sent for service to the Naval academy.

His first command was In 1870, when he had the Narragansett, doing special service. He became commander in April, 1872, aud, still on the Narragansett, was engaged in making surveys of the Pacific until 187C, when lie was made a lighthouse inspector and later the secretary of the lighthouse board. He commanded the Juniata In the Asiatic station in 1882-83, and In September, 1884, was made a captain and put In charge of the Dolphin, then brand new and one of the four vessels which formed the original "white squadron." The following year he was sent to command the flagship Pensacola, of the European squadron, and be stayed there until 1888, when he became chief of the bureau of equipment aud recruiting, with the rank of commodore. This place he held until 1803, when he was made a member of the lighthouse board, ne got his commis sion as commodore on February 2S, 1S96, and at about the same time was made president of the board of inspec tion and survey. This place be held until he was put in command of the Asiatic station in January of this year, Born in Ohio, of Course.

East Liverpool, Ohio, claims that Dewey was born in that village, and a press dispatch from there says: "The record of Rear Admiral George Dewey's achievements at Manila as commander of the Asiatic squadron of the navy, are highly gratifying to the older residents of this town who re member him as a toddling boy. The admiral's father was a well-known blacksmith here when his now das tinguished son was born, and wjften the boy was 7 years old removed riack to Vermont, in which state all his biographers say the boy was born. A number of the old residents of East Liver pool remember him, and proudly recall that he is another example of the effects of having been born in Ohio, where it seems necessary for all who seek fame in the army, navy and presi dential office should be born if they hope to succeed. "A number of the older residents of East Liverpool remember him as a child about bis father's smithy, and speak of him as being a courageous little chap, fond of boyish sports and a favorite among his elders as well as with his playmates. "Since the news of the defeat of the Spanish squadron at Manila, resments of East Liverpool are so proud that it Is talked of taking some action which will manifest their civic pride in the achievements of her distinguished son." UNIQUE AFFAIR Was the LeagueMaypole Jollity- Social.

The May pole jollity social and quo tation contest given by the Epworth league of the First M. E. church, Wednesday evening, to the members aud friends proved a very enjoyable affair. An entertaining program was carried out and the hundred or more present were amused and instructed. The quotation contest was quite a feature in the evening's pleasures and resulted in a victory for the lefts by one point.

In the contest, the audience was divided into a right aud left side and each given an opportunity to name the poet, from whose works, the quotation givpn out, was taken. I'p to the last, it was a tie, each side hav ing 15 correct answers, but the left won the last try and with that the contest The musical numbers on the program were very well rendered and were an agreeable addition to the entertainment. The May pole jollities were some thing new and concluded the delight ful program. In this, the hundred guests assisted to unwind three May poles and succeeding in doing this, they were pleasnntly surprised to find a souvenir of the occasion, attached to the end of their ribbon, which In sev eral cases were very appropriate and all of which will bo prized by tho for tunate recipients. The remainder of the evening, until 10 o'clock, was given over to a socia ble and ull left with a wish to noon meet on another such occasion.

The literary and musical numbers of the program were as follows: Singing, "America," and "Hed.Whlte and L.iio." by everybody, violin solo, Julius Hul Hung; chorus, "God Save Our Flag," Junior leaguers; vocal solo, Fred CJ.
