Greeted Admiral Schley.

Admiral Schley, the hero of Santiago, passed through Rensselaer on the 10:65 south bound train on hie way to Louisville Tuesday, and was greeted 'by many ot our citizens. The public schools were dismissed in time to give the pupils a chance to see the Admiral and they were present in a body. The train pulled in a few minutes late but stopped here long enough to give all a chance to see the Admiral and for many to shake hands with him. As the train pulled in he appeared with his wife on the rear platform of President McDoel’s private car bowlnK right and left to his admirers. He wore his overcoat and a small cap and there was, nothing about him to suggest the sea. The Admiral is a much better looking man than his picture indicates, while Mrs. Schley is a strikingly good looking woman, bright faced and cherry.
