Brookland and Other Boats Will bo Bushed Over on the Becommendation of Admiral Dewey. Washington, October 4.?The President today directed the immdiate dispatch to the Philippines of a number of vsesels of the navy, including the cruiser Brookland and the gunboats Marietta and Machias. The action is the result of Admiral Dewey's interview today, in which he went over the Philippine situation with the President. The orders given are in line with the expressed determination of the President to furnish the army and navy every resource for stamping out the Philippine insurrection at the earliest possible time. At Admiral Dewey's extended interview with the President today the former went into the Philippine situation at great length, explaining carefully the existing condition of affairs and his views of the outlook, concluding with an earnest recommendation that the Brooklyn and some other vessels be sent at once to the Philippines. This reinforcement of the present fleet of the Asiaetic squadron he urged is necessasy and said their dispatch should be directed as early as possible. The President immediately communicated with the navy department and instructed Secretary Long to issue an order carrying out the Admiral's recommendation and to see that the vessels be got in readiness at once. Besides the Brookljn, Marietta and Macbias the other vessels have not been selected. The Brookland is now with the North Atlantic Squadron off Thotnpkinsville. l^he Mechias and the Marietta are at the navy yard in this city on wait orders, having been brought here to participate in this week's celebration in honor of Admiral Bewey. These reinforcements will add considerable strength to the Asiastic Squadron and the Administration believes their presence will have a material effect in expediting the end of hostilities. The Brooklyn is an armored cruiser of the first rating, carrying 20 main battery guns and having a total displacement of 9,215 -tons, 'and is so well thought of by Bear Admiral Schley that he desired that she be assigned as his flagship in the new South Atlantic Squadron. The Marietta is a composite gunboat of a 1,000 tons displacement and with a main battery equipment of six guns, and the Machias with a displace 1 -t i irrrr l - :? U ^ t ? loeilc 01 jl,jl i i lulls, cameo a uaticxj of eight guns. Their commanders are all veterans of long experience in the service. The Brookland is commanded by Captain Theodore F. Jewell, who has seen fourteen years of sea service; the machias by Lieutenant Commander Leavitte C. LogaD, with fifteen years of sea service, and the Marietta by Lieutenant Commander Edward H. Gheen, whose record shows seventeen years of sea service, The Brookland's formidable equipment will make her of invaluable general service, while the Marietta and the Machias are expected to be of such usefulness in the numerous shallow waters about the archipelago, where larger craft cannot go. It is not known how soon these vessels can be made ready, but they will get away as early as possible. Later?In goiog over the field of available ships it was found that the plan first conceived cf sending the Marietta and Machias with the Brooklyn would have to be modified so as to drop the two gunboats. In | addition to the Brooklyn the following ships will be added to "Watson's fleet: Nashville, New Orleans, BanT>a/1nroi? Tr tunc Ailmirsl | uiuii auu ox av <tmv ..? Dewey's idea that the vessels of a ! larger t}pe than were at first thought | of should be sent to Manila. He j pointed out that the Smaller class cf ! gunboats would be exposed to a great deal of unnecessary danger if they were sent out. To carry out the plans of cutting the insurgents off from their supplies, these vessels muet be scattered around among the islands, often without consort, and thus exposed to sudden attack. The larger vessels will not only be able to take care of themselves in such cases but may be able to serve as parent ships from which may be operated a number of small launches that have been doing such good service. By noon the department had completed its programme and was in position to send sailing orders to the ships chosen to go to Manila. It was suggested by the navy department that three of the four vessels now under orders for Manila will pass through the Suez Canal so will be available to divert to South Africa should matters there take shape requiring the presence of a United States naval force. Interruptions Ceased. I A clergyman who had been greatly annoyed by the continued interruption to which he had been subjected during the delivery of bis sermon stopped abruptly and looking round at the congregation, spoke as follows: "Some time ago, while delivering a sermon, I was frequently interrupted by a gentleman sitting in front of me, who gesticulated, moved about and whispered to his neighbors, and at last I addressed to him a sharp reprimand for his unseemly conduct. When the service was over my cleik in the vestry mentioned the matter to me, and asked if I was ignorant of the fact that the person j addressed was an idiot. I have since J then always hesitated to reprimand any of my congregation for fear that I may bo addressing an idiot, who is not responsible for his actions." Silence reigned throughout the deliveiy of the remainder of his sermon.?Ex o * Macon's Annual Carnival. MacoD, Ga, will hold her Third Annual Carnival October 10th, 11th, | 12th and 13th, 1890.

The following letter from Mr. J. Adoue, of Calvert, Texas is interesting as showing the attitude toward the American Cotton Company^ Roundlap bale of a man who is a cotton farmer as well as the owner of a square bale compress: "Dear Sir: A few days ago I i 1 1 *11 1 3 _ A_ f. _ T noticed a oni imrouuceu in me .Legislature proposing to tax your company 40 per cent, of its gross reI ceipts. I presume the bill is intended to confiscate your property or drive you out of the State. "Your machinery compresses the cotton in a smaller and better package than the present compresses. You are in the field now offering to save the cotton growers fully $1.00 per bale by reason of compressing the cotton at the gin and the saving of bagging and ties, yardage, etc. "No doubt it is the intention of the Legislature to protect the present compresses from your iniquitous competition, and as a compress man I want them to do it. * T I "As a iarmer, nowever, i nope you i will not be driven out; I want to j continuo to sell you my cotton at j about $1.00 per bale mere than if j put up in square bales.

I I will give a gold pen to the child makiDg the greatest improvement in writing the vertical system in three months of 1899 1900, beginning any time after November 1st, 1899 and contest to end May 1st, 1900. No specimen will be considered whose writer has been in the contest more than three months; no school can enter with less than ten contestants. Each pupil entering the contest must write the name of his or her school, the county and State in full and certerfy that it is the best writing he can do on that date (giviDg the date) and send the same to me. At the close of three months he will write the same as the first, changing nothing but the date, and send it to me without delay. On May the 10th, or as soon after as all specimens have had time to reach me, I shall have them carefully compared by j schools and the best improvement from each of all the schools will be compared and the reward will be orwarded to the successful one by registered mail. I have taken the vertical from the simple fact that it can be learned much easier than the oblique. And I have limited the time to three months as many of the schools in the country may not run longer. If all the teachers who place their schools in the contest ask for the time to be four month?, I will make it so, but the time of beginning and ending must not change from November 1st to May 1st. I am perhaps the oldest teacher in in the county and no doubt have had the best success in advancing j children in penmanship, therefore, I j desire to let this part of the school extend over the entire county and ro doubt some child will be greatly benefited and others much improved in writing by this little act on my part. I feel sure that the children in every school will take hold of this if they have encouragement from their teacher. And the teachers should make an effort to have their schools successful. A little reward on their part to the best in their school would be nothing amiss. Very respectfully, S. S. Lindler. 2To Eight To Ugliness.
