They got scarcely more than l' miles on the journey when winter set in. and the three were compelled to prepare shelter for the long stormy season. Anderson and Schneider were attacked with scurvy. Both became very HI and almost helpless.

The price of wool has ren steadily rising during the last few months, and yesterday there was another rl-c of from 10 to 15 per cent., making a total Increase of 50 per cent. Since January. There has never been such a continued upward tendency In prices, and it mainly arises from two causes drought In Australia and a fashion for garments madeot the finest wools. For four successive years there has been a drought in Australia, and stocks have con slderably depleted during that time. On the top of the drought came a demand for fine wools, and owing to the scarcity In the supply prices went up rapidly. In May there was an advance of 2T per cent, in prices for -colonial wools. English wools have also been similarly affected, particularly in regard to the finer sorts, such as Southdown.. On the Wool Eschange. In Baslnghall street, yesterday, there was a big attendancc cf merchants, and competition was very keen, but the further advance, being anticipated, created not the least excitement. A representative of the Dally Mall made Inquiries among wool merchants as to the likely effect of the Increase on the tailoring trade and the public generally. The ready-made tailor will not suffer In the least, say the merchants, but his customers will. "You see." explained one well-known merchant, "when wool Id cheap the 'readymade" tailor puts less shoddy and more wool Into his customers' clothes, and when wool is dear there Is more shoddy and less wool. The prices of ready-made suits always remain the. same. ' That means, of course, that with Increased prices the people who buy ready-made suits are given an inferior cloth. On the other hand, the Westend tailor loses. It would not do for him to palm shoddy stuff on to clients, nor can he Increase his prices. He must continue to give his customers the lst material at the old price, or his trade would disappear.

LESSON OF DEWEY'S LIFE

A STORY 'WORTHY OF THE STUDY OF EVERY AMEIUCAN. Ilia Early Career and Schooling:, and Qualities That Made Him Famous When Opportunity Came. New York Sun. Here is a story of Dewey life up to the time that he became the most famous. naval hero of the latter end of the nineteenth century and took his place in history beside John Paul Jones and Nelson and Farragut, whoso pupil he was. It Is worthy of the study of every American boy and girl, as well as that of every American elder, for in It Is a lesson in American citizenship. The man over whom the whole country has gone more or less daft, who is to-day hailed as the greatest living fighter, and who is receiving such honors as no other living American ever has received, had nothing in his early life or environment to make him a fighter. In a sense he came of fighting stock, but only in the sense that nearly all American boys and girls come of fighting stock. His great-grandfather was a corporal in the continental army, and his grandfather was a soldier in the revolution. Those were the days when all patriotic American citizens were fighters. But Dewey's father was not a fighter. Those relatives of hU who were living when hwas born were none of them fighters, and had .none of them been fighters. Dewey himself chose righting for his profession when there was little fighting to be done. When the time came for fighting to be done, he got right Into the thick of it. He developed that most valuable of all qualities, "stlck-to-lt-lveness." Having chosen fighting as his profession, he stuck to it, only bemoaning now and then the fate that he felt was his, that his biographer would write "Entered Annapofce, 1S31; retired, rear admiral, 1903." He lacked opportunity and feared the worst. When opportunity came he had the requisite ambition and sufficient nerve and courage to grasp it, and to-day he has honor the like of which even the President of the United State? cannot command, for he is an idol that the younger generation worship and the older generation look up to. Dewey is unlike most Americans who have become great fighter in this, that he was the son of well-to-do parents, that he had before him an opening in the business world that promised in money returns a thousand dollars to the one dollar that was in sight in the navy, and the outlook ahead of a life of comfort and comparative ease. It was neither necessary nor from a worldly standpoint desirable that he should devote his life to his country's service, throwing aside the opportunities that he had In the business world. He chose his profession and stuck to it. To-day, tn reputation at least, he ranks the naval officers of the world. Dewey was -born at Montpelier, Vt.. In a fine old colonial house, across the way from the Vermont Statehouse. Dewey's father. Dr. Julius Yemans Dewey, was the leading physician of the city. He had been born on a farm, had spent his early life working on his father's farm and then had studied medicine, putting all the energy that he possessed into it. Dewey the elder had wonderful energy, and when he under-, took anything he put ail of that energy Into the undertaking, which probably accounts for the fact that, though he started late to be a doctor, once he started he became the leading doctor. Dewey was born the day after Christmas, 137. He had two brothers older than himself, and both or them are still alive, one having attained a large fortune and retired from business, and the other being president of a life insurance company which the elder Dewey founded. EARLY CAREER AND SCHOOLING. George Dewey, when a boy, was merely one of four children of a town doctor and later of a successful business man, for the elder Dewey made up his mind that there was more money in the life Insurance business than there was in the medical profession, and he founded the National Life Insurance Company. This was before George Dewey had chosen his profession, and at the time he did choose, the life insurance business had grown and was successful. It was to that business- and Into his father's company that he would naturally gravitate. There was a life of ease j.nd riches in It for him. Dewey's fat no was a religious man. and hi.f children were brought up with the strictest respect for the church. Their third boy, who is now the admiral, was not a model of goodness, by any means. There was nothing of the Lord Fauntleroy about him. He had bean shooters' and shot the chickens. He had putty blowers and blew paper wads, carefully chewed, at the heads of his elders. He played hooky and ran off to steal swims and he did most of the other things that good, sound American boys do when they get streaks of Satan in them. In his school life It la not recorded that he was any better than his fellow?. The Hon. Zeblna K. Pangborn, now a most respected resident of Jersey City, was one of his teachers and found It most desirable and necessary to thump him to maintain the discipline of the school. He did it so well that Dewey remembers It to this day, and since he got vengeance on the Spaniards ho has himsejf told the story. Dewey's mother died when he was a boy. and his stepmother had the management of him up to the time that he made up his mind to go to the Naval Academy at Ann.r"?. His schooling, begun In the public schools at Montpelier, was continued in the academy at Johnson, Vt., and then the Norwich University. He entered the university In 1KI. and it Is not recorded that he was above the ordinary pupil there. He paid more attention to his clothes than he did to his lesions. He was a favorite with the girls and he was the leader of the element in his claw that gave the teacher most trouble. If there was any fighting going on, Dewey was generally in It and in the row that always exists in a college town between the local boys and the college boys. Dewey was the leader of the college boys. Take It altogether, if the record Ls rightly written, Dewey in his college clays was one of those boys who give their parents many a heartache and who keep them worried most of the time, wondering what will come next. There wasn't anything really bad about the boy, but In truth it must be added there wasn't anything really good about him, either. He was graduated in 1834. so it will be seen that Dewey reached the age of seventeen years just as every ordinary boy reaches that age, without having distinguished himself, without ever having shown to any marked degree the qualities that the opportunity of May 1. 1S98, brought to light. He was just a plain, solid, every-day American boy, built on American lines with the frrlt to take his own part and the more cr ess common ambition of youth of that age to cut loose from the paternal leading strings. His two brothers. Charles and Edward, who had completed their education, had gone into business with their father," and there was a place reserved for him in the company. The same opportunity that they had wa his and the success that they were making was his. NO DISTINGUISHED ANCESTRY. As was stated before, young Dewey came from fighting stock in the same sense that most American boys whose parents and grandparents were Americans before them come of fighting stock. None of his ancestors had ever particularly distinguished himself In time of war. There was nothing in the record of any of them to act as an incentive for him to become a soldier. He had in 1S54 Just about the same ambition to be a soldier or a naval hero that every American youth has at that age, no more and no less, und of opportunity to gratify that ambition he had the same that other American boys have, no more and no les. It is recorded that Dewey wouU have preferred to be a so.dier, but It happened that at the time when he turned hs back on business success there was no opening at West Point and there was one at Annapolis. Dr. Dewey asued for the place lor his son and got it. At the Naval Academy Dewey was slow. He had not developed the stlck-to-it trait of cnaractcr. During the first two years the record shows that he was a very poor student indeed. He paid attention to drerm rather than study, ills examinations were bad because he would not study. His neglect was such that his father was notified and the doctor took the toy to task and told him he'd never amount to as much as a row of pins if he did not stick to what he had Btarted out to do and devoted all of his energies to it. Dewey was nineteen years old then and he had the horse sense to take the advice. He went back to An. napoll. beiran sticking to It In his studies and was graduated from the academy third

in his class. He was entitled to and re- j celved the appointment of midshipman in the navy. The lesson so far in Dewey's life was that ho bad no better show of being great ut to the time that he reached his majority than any other American boy has to-day. Once he had been graduated from Annapolis he settled down. The serious side of life appealed to him. He served a year on the Wabash and then came home for a vacation. Under home influence he developed interest in religion, and in a year he was baptized and was received Into the Episcopal Church at Montpelier. He became something of a model young man. and a great favorite with the young women. It was not until 1&61 that he saw any really active service in the navy. The war started then, and he was commissioned a lieutenant and was assigned to the Mississippi, which was ordered to Join the west gulf squadron under command of Admiral Farragut. the last admiral of the American navy but one before Dewey earned the Place. The captain of the Mississippi was Commander Malancthon Smith.' The first fight in which the Mississippi was, engaged after Dewey went on board of her was the assault of Farragut on the city of New Orleans, and in that fight the Mississippi, which, by the way, was more like a ferryboat than a warship, was assigned to sink the Confederate ram Manassas, which was coming down toward the fleet. Captain Smith on this occasion did exactly what Dewey did on May 1. 1S0S- It was dollars to cents that the ram was the stronger of the two boats. Ignoring that fact entirely. Captain Smith turned his boat and made at her. and in almost less time than it takes to tell it, he had rammed the ram. and had shoved her up on the mud. and was pouring shot into her. To think with Captain Smith was to act. and it was perhaps on that day that Dewey learned a lesson that, following always afterward, brought him fame the lesson of "Think yourself and don't give the other fellow time to think before you act." LOSS OF THE MISSISSIPPI. It was nearly a year later that Dewey got Into his second big naval fight, and it was then that his boat was lost. Ho was the executive officer of the Mississippi in the fight at Port Hudson. In the excitement that attended the trip up the river to the port the navigating officer of the Mississippi lost his bearings, and the first thing he knew the Mississippi had stuck ner nose deep Into the mud and was held fast there in Just the position that made her the best target for the rebel guns ashore. In this position her battery on one side was available, and with this batters she fought "until twenty-nve of her crew had been kiile4 and twenty-nine wounded. It was suicide then to stand by her longer, and the order was given to abandon ship. The cowardice of some of her men, once they were ordered to retreat, gave to Dewey an opportunity to distinguish himself and he took it. The men were deserting the ship, leaving the wounded to their fate. Dewey faced them about, forced them to look after the wounded flr3t. and he and the captain were the last mm to leave the ship. They Jumped overboard. Before doing this they set fire to the ship eo that by no possibility could she fall into the hands of the enemy and become a prize of war. On the way to safety Dewey again distinguished himself. Tnls time he rescued a wounded sailor who was drowning. He towed the sailor ashore after him. Again in the same year Dewey had a chance to distinguish himself. It was at Donaldsonville. After the loss of the Mississippi Dewey was assigned to an old tub of a boat hardly more than a cockle shell, and, like Fremont on the dinky torKedo boat Porter at tho battle of San Juan, e kept the boat in the thick of the fight, popping away with a little gun and in momentary danger of being sunk by the first shjt of any size that hit her. At the battle of Fort Fisher Dewey was the executive officer of the Colorado, which was the biggest ship he had ever been on. She carried forty guns and a crew of nearly seven hundred. After the fight Dewey was assigned to Commander McComb's squadron in the James river and then to the North Atlantic blockading squadron. He served as lieutenant on both the Brooklyn and the Agawam. At the battle of Fort Fisher, where the navy performed the part of the work that the army should bave performed that Is. an assault by land Dewey distinguished himself along with most of the other young officers, and some time after that battle he , was promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander. His commission stated that the promotion was for meritorious conduct at the battle, of Fort Fisher. The capture of Fort Fisher was practically the last naval battle cf the war, and it was the last fighting that Dewey saw for thirty-three yeirs. His whole fighting experience until May 1, 189S, Is thus summed up, and It was in the Intervening years that Dewey tlmo and time again remarked on the briefness of the biography he had earned. After the war was over Dewey was sent to the Portsmouth navy yard. He was a hero there, where all naval officers are heroes, and It was there that he met Miss Susie P. Goodwin, a daughter of New Hampshire's war Governor, Ichabod Goodwin. She was-a young woman of great beauty and of line education, and Dewey fell in love with her am, cut out all the other suitors for her hand. They were married on Oct. 24, 1S67. and were Immediately separated, for Dewey was assigned again

to the Colorado and spent nearly a year in Europe. The next year he was isslrfned to duty In the Naval Academy. Then he was placed in command of the Narr igamett fcr awhile, then in charge of the tirpodo station at Newport, and in April, when he got his next promotion, that to tac ank of commander, he was again as?Jgn..l to the Narragansett. The following year Dewey's only child was born. George Goodwin Dewey, ami the young wife died. HIS LIFE OPPORTUNITY. There wasn't much of a story in Dewey's life after that until the preparation of the war with Spain, in which he was to make everlasting fame. He settled into the humdrum life of the ordinary naval officer. He went to the Pacific on a surveying expedition in 1873. In 1S76 he returned and was appointed a lighthouse Inspector. He served two years at that and then became secretary of the lighthouse board, a place he held until 18.2. That year it was his turn for jea duty and he was snt to the Asiatic squadron to command the Juniata. He was sick a year then and all but died. Ilia promotion to the rank of captain came in 1SX4. twenty-six years after he had been graduated from the naval academy, and he was assigned to command the Dolphin. The Dolphin ranks now as a dispatch boat. She was. nevertheless, one of the first of the White Squadron of which the American people were so proud, and it is interesting to note hera that she was the only steel ship that Dewey ever commanded until he went abord the Olympla as the commodore of the Aslatlo squadron. He commanded the Pensacola after the Dolphin. In 18S, when he leturned to America, he became the chief of the bureau of equipment and recruiting. As the chief of this bureau he had the exotflclo rank of commodore and it was in this office, naval officers say, that Dewey did his best work for the country before the opportunity came to smash the Spanish fleet in the Philippines. He attracted the attention there that later made him the commander of the Asiatic squadron. While there was no war In sight and no shadow of a war. he assumed that there would be one and did everything that could be done in that department to prepare for one if it came. Roosevelt Is a man after the pattern of Dewey, and when he became assistant secretary of tho navy he was atttrapted by the thoroughness of Dewey's work and by the energy that he displayed. It was President McKinley who made Dewey the commander of the Asiatic squadron, and it was Senator Redfleld Proctor and Theodore Rnoevelt who were In a large measure responsible for the choice. Senator Proctor himself appealed to the President to make Dewey commander of the squadron and the President promised. It is no disparagement to Secretary Long to say that Dewey was not the man he had selected for the place. The man he selected would probably have done as Dewey did and he-might to-day be the hero of the Nation that Dewey Is; but Dewey had been chosen before the secretary made known his choice. The secretary heartily concurred with the President in the selection. In Washington Dewey spent much of hi: leisure time at the Metropolitan Club: In New York, at the University Club. He was fond of good company and was good company himself. He paid attentions to Miss Virginia Lowery. now the Duchess D'Arco. the wife of the Spanish ambassador at Washington. The Spaniard beat him in love. Dewey's one ambition now is the ambition that most American fathers have the ambition for his son's success. So It will be seen the story of Dewey's life Is a lesson In American citizenship. Dewey, the ordinary boy; Dewey the ordinary man, became Dewey the Nation's hero by energy, by grit, by absolute fearlessness and by being ready to seize opportunity whenever opportunity earce. Ex-PrealIcnt Harrlron Argument. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It 1 said that ex-President Harrison's argument before the Paris arbitration commission In favor of Venezuela In the dispute with England Is making a very favorable Impression. This is likely to be the fact. The ex-President Is a very pointed and intelligent talker. On this particular question it is said that he made elaborate preparation, and as he Is a painstaking student, has a knack of assimilating facts rapidly and of telling about them in a pleasing way, his address will probably be a 'riV -hjjt'- in h !jtfrn ' 0f the controversy.

For the tlrst time in thirty-five years the New York banks have not been called upon by the banks of the West and South for a large part of tho money needed for moving the crops of these sections. The banks which supply the money for moving the grain of the West and the cotton of the South have asked for practically no financial aid from the banks of this city. The cause of this almost unprecedented condition Is found In the abundant crops of lat year. The farmers have comfortable reserves In the banks -and the New York concerns have been informed by their farmer customers, not only In the West, but In the South as well, that little or no money will be needed from the financial Institutions of this city this year. That this was true of the West, where last year crops were most abundant and profitable, was known to those who have observed the situation, but the South was not generally believed to be in such fortunate circumstances'. ' . The heads of the big banking institutions of this city which have furnished the most of the money to these aectlons in years past declared to-day that what was true of the West was true of the South as well. They have been Informed by bankers in Texas, Alabama. Georgia and other Southern States that money enough for handling the cotton crop was in the vaults of Southern bank?. This statement was fully borne out by Joseph 8. Iockwood, the president of the lckwood National Bank of San Antonio, Tex., one of the largest banks in the Southwest, who -ald that his State was never In better condition financially. Some weetcs ago the banks of Chicago sent out a circular among- the country banks of the West Inquiring as to the needs of these institutions for money to move the grain crop this fall. If the big banks of the Windy City had expected to do a heavy business lending money to the smaller Institutions in their territory they were sorely disappointed by the repltts which came back In response to their circular. The country banks informed their Chicago friends that they were loaded with money, and that they would have no need to resort to the Chicago or New York money markets this fall. These replies came from the States of Iowa. Illinois. Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kansas, to which States the circular was ent The responses stated that the country banks had large resources In the Chicago banks and might have to draw on them to some extent, but they needed to borrow no money In New York. Thl was not news to the bankers of New York." who, through their correspondents all over the country, have kept closely informed of the situation. Inquiry among them to-day resulted in confirmation of the report made public in Chicago, and, as stated, they also declared that the South was In the same boat with the West. "New York la lending practically no money to the West or to the South this year," said Vice President A. B. Hepburn, of the Chase National Bank, to-day. "The banks of these sections do not need it. They have all the money they want for their purposes. The West did not borrow nearly so much from us as usual !at year but this year she is not asking for any. Last year's good crops gave them a surplus, and some of the Western cities actually have money to lend in this market. "The country is fast getting rich, and it Is prosperous not only in the East and West, but in the South and Southwest. This is not merely an opinion, this is a fact that Is shown by the reports of business every day. It looks as though the rest of the country Is able to get along without borrowing much money from us.' Until a very short time ago the bulk of the money for moving; the crops had to come from the East. We could lend any amount at 6 per cent. Now they

The building of grain elevators all over the West and of cotton compressers In the South, has greatly helped In handling the cropf. "The West has already becun to move Its crops and carR enough cannot be had for the purpose. There Is a car famine in the West and South. The whole country is prosperous. There were big crops last year and. In the West especially, good markets. Reports show that this year's crops are also excellent, and those sections of the country which formerly looked to the East for money have become Independent. This is a condition proved, by facts and figures. One bank which has always done a large business with the class of customers I have been speaking of, Ls doing practically none now. President George G. WTillIams, of the Chemical National Bank, confirmed what Mr. Hepburn said. "Our reports from the West are that the banks there have, as a general rule all the money they want." said he. "Last year's big crops are responsible for it. The farmers were rl.Ie to put by money In bank and this year the West Is in splendid shape. Take Nebraska, for Instance. The small banks of that State have plenty of money and the farmers are highly prosperous. "Now, here is Mr. Lock wood the president of one of the big banks of Texas. He has Just been telling me of the splendid condition of the banks and of the farmers of that State. The South is asking for but little money us well as the West. The general condition Is prosperous." Joseph 8. Lockwood, president of the Lockwood National Bank of San Antonio, Tex., declared that what President Williams had said was true. "Texas will not need to borrow any money from the East this year," he said. "This has been an exceptionally fine year for cattle, grass has been abundant, our corn crop Is fine and the cotton crop, when I left home two weeks ago, was above the average. The banks there are well supplied with n.r.ey, and the chief trouble we are having is due to bad legislation. On account of thi rnfriendly legislation, It is difficult to interest New York capital in my State. I think there are signs of improvement In this diiectlon, and I believe Governor Sayers Hill make a good Governor. "What I have said of Texas I believe is generally true of the South, although there are cne or two Southern States that are not as well off as we are and may have to borrow money, but not to as great an exh-.it as in former years." Cashier Halls of the Hanover National Bank said that the West and South were asking for far less money than usual. "1 have Just been talking with a prominent banker from central Illinois." he said, "and I said to him: 'What's going to become of the banking business?' and he said that he did not know, that there was rot much demand for money in his part of the country. The South is borrowing some money but not nearly so much as in pan years. The demand for money from the West has been very small." PIGCi, IIOtiQ AND BACON. Queer Entries on a Western Hotel lleglater. Kansas City Journal. To the casual observer yesterday, the register of the Savoy Hotel looked more like an inventory book of a packing house than a hotel register. Early yesterday morning a stranger entered the hotel and signed: "J. It. Tlgg, Windsor, Mo." A few minutes later two men stepped up to the desk and signed Just below Mr. Mgg's signature: "C. B. Hogg. Canton, O.,' and "Brown Bacon, Chicago." The three gentlemen who attached such strange names in Juxtaposition were not acquainted with each other, but when the hotel clerk saw the strange signatures, the three gentlemen whose names attracted so much attention were eagerly sought by the curious, and it was but a short time before Messrs. Pigg, Hogg and Bacon were good friends. Jur. Pigg said that he had nothing to do with any packing house, as he was a government mall contractor of Windsor, Mo.

NOTION DEPT., NEW Mr. Hogg said that he and Mr. Bacon were traveling men, and were prosperous, therefore were not "on the hog," by any means. "I never heard of Messrs. Hogg and Bacon." said Mr. Pigg. "I was very much surprised when I saw the three signatures so close together on the register." "No, I am not a dealer in packing house products, but am a government mail contractor. I have contracts for carrying mall in almost every State in the Union. By some strange coincidence, our little town of Windsor, Mo., is the home of no less than eight government mail contractors. We all bid against each other for routes in almost every State in the Union. I am now on my way to California, where I expect to sub-let several contracts. Our business is better when timers are hard. Strange state of affairs, isn't it? We try to sub-let all of our contracts, and we can get the work done much cheaper when crops are poor and times are hard." Admiral Dewey's Politic-. Leslie's Weekly. Admiral Dewey's politics would hardly seem to be open to question, by reason of the fact that he comes from a Republican family and from Vermont, th strongest Republican State In the Union. He has been exceedingly cautious, since he recently became prominent, in discussing political matters. Edson C. Brace, of St. Louis, who was chief clerk of the naval bureau of equipment while Admiral (then Commodore) Dewey was its chief, told in the Washington Post some time ago that the admiral had always been a Republican, and that once, after reading a speech of David B. Hill, Dewey declared, in dettning a Democrat, that "in time of war a Democrat was a d traitor, in time of peace he is fe d fool." That was seven or eight years ago. The most recent declaration of the admiral, and the clearest and most comprehensive, was given in an interview had with him In Manila on the 19th of February last, by Edwin Wiidman, the special correspondent of Leslie's Weekly. With this Kentleman the admiral discussed tho possibility of the presidency with unusual freedom. When asked if he was a Republican or a Democrat, he replied: "A sailor has no polities. I came from Vermont, and you know what that means. To be anything but a Republican In Vermont in to be a man without a party. Our flag lieutenant comes from Georgia. Ho tells me that to be anything but a Democrat in the South Is to be a nobody. If I lived South. I would probably be a Democrat." The admiral added that he had not voted in many years, and that his vote was usually Influenced "by personal preference or local conditions," and as to the presidency, he said: "Don't you think It would be presumptuous to uccept a nomination before it is offered? Perhaps It would be equally previous to reject it." The general drift of the admiral's remarks was complimentary to the existing administration, and against the suggestion that he should be a candidate. What Greeley Did. London Chronicle. The military real of so many newspaper editors Just now calls to mind the story of a discussion Horace Greeley once had wltn an advocate of woman's suffrage, shortly before the American civil war. He was using as his nnal argument the Inability of women to fight. "What would you do, for Instance," he asked his irlend, "In the event of war?" "Just what you would do. Mr. Greeley." she replied promptly: "1 should stay In an office and write articles urging other people to go and fight." Coartlnsr Assault. Kansas City Journal.
