Washington, Oct. 1. — At a time When the whole nation is stirred with patriotic emotion tit the return of Ad miral George Dewey nnd Ids gallant men on the cruiser Olympia and tlio MMgniliceut reception (iceoriicd to them, the Itev. Dr. T. De Witt Tal- tnngo, in this sermon, preaching to a vast audience, appropriately recalls for devout and patriotic purposes some of ilie great naval deeds of olden and more recent times. Text, James iii, 4, -Behold also the ships.” if tliis exclamation was appropriate about 1,87- years ago, when it was written concerning the crude lishing smacks that sailed Lake Galilee, how much more appropriate in an age which has 1 uinched from the dry docks for purposes of peace the Oceanic of the While Star line, the Lueania of the Canard line, the St. Louis of the American line, the Kaiser Wilhelm tier Grosso of the North German Lloyd lino, the Augusta Victoria of the Ham burg American line, and in an age which for purposes of war has launch ed the Oregon, the Brooklyn, the Texas, the Olympia, the Iowa, the ?.iassachusetts, the Indiana, the New York, the Marietta of the last war, and the scarred veterans of war shipping, like the Constitution or the Alliance or the Constellation that have swung into the naval yards to spend their last days, their decks now all silent of the feet that trod them, their rigging till silent of the bauds that clung to them, their portholes silent of the brazen throats that once thundered out of them. Ik in the first century, when war ves sels were dependent on the oars that paddled at the side of them for pro pulsion, my text was suggestive, with bow much more emphasis and mean ing and overwhelming reminiscence we can cry out as we see the Kearsarge lay across the bows of the Alabama it ml sink it, teaching foreign nations they had better keep their hands off our American tight, or as we see the ram Albemarle of the Confederates running out ami in the Roanoke and up tind down the coast, throwing ev erything into confusion as no other craft ever did, pursued by the Miami, the Ceres, the Southfield, the Sassacus, the Maltabesett. the Whitehead, tlio commodore Hull, the Louisiana, the .Minnesota and other armed vessels, all trying in vain to catch Iter, until Cap tain Cushing, 21 years of age, and his men blew her up, himself and only one other escaping, and as 1 see the flagship Hartford, and the Richmond, and the Monongahela, with other gun boats, sweep past the batteries of Tort Hudson, anil the Mississippi Hows for ever free to till northern and southern craft, and under the fire of Dewey and his men the Spanish sltips at Manila burn or sink, and the licet rushing out of Santiago harbor are demolished by our guns, and tin* brave Cervera sur renders, I cry out with a patriotic eniothii) that I cannot suppress if I would, and would not if I could, “Be hold also the ships.” Full Sjiced Afcoml. Full justice lias been done to tlio men who at different times fought on the land, but not enough has been said of those who on siiip’s deck dared and suffered ail things.

No, ye admirals, com in tinders, captains, pilots, gunners, boatswains, sailmaki rs, surgeons, stokers, mess mates and seamen of ail names, to use your own parlance, we might as well get under way and stand out to sea.

Never since the sea fight of Lepanto, where ."(>0 royal galleys, manned by r.'.U'iO warriors, at sunrise, Sept. 0, ir.71, met 2.70 royal galleys, manned by 120.000 men, and In the four hours of battle 8.000 fell < a one side and 2.7,- oiiO on the other; yea, never since the day wiieii at Aetium, 21 years before Christ, Augustus with 200 ships scat tered tin- 220 ships of Mark Antony and t;.lined universal dominion as the prize; yea. since the day when at Salamis the 1,2(»0 galleys of the Per sians, manned by .MX),000 men. were eruslied by Greeks with less than a third of that force; yea, never since the time of Noah, the first ship captain, lias the world seen such a miraculous creation as that of the American navy ! in IStil.

P»ut where those are who went down in the war vessels will not be known until the sea gives up Us dead. The Jack Tars knew that, while loving arms might carry the men who fell on the land and bury them with solemn liturgy and the honors of war, for the bodies of fliose who dropped from the ratlines into the sea or went down with all on board under the stroke of a gunboat there remained the shark and the whale and the endless tossing of the sea which cannot rest. Once a year, in the decoration of the graves, those who fell in the laud were remem bered. But how about the graves of those who went down at sea? Noth ing but the archnugers trumpet ■hail reach their lowly bed. A few of them were gathered Into naval cemeteries of the land, and we every year garland the sod that covers them. But who will put fiowers on the fallen crew of the exploded Westfield and Shuwsboen and the sunken Southfield and the Winfield Scott? Bullets threatening In front, bombs threatening from nlmve, torpedoes threatening from beneath, and the ocean, with its reputation of Ci.ixm) years for shipwreck, lying all around, am I not right in saying it re quired a special courage for the navy in 1803 as it required especial courage in 18!!8 i ChrtMt (lie Admiral. It looks picturesque and beautiful to see a war vessel going out through the Narrows, sailors in new rig singing, A life on the ocean wave, A home on the rolling deep, | the colors gracefully dipping to pass- j Ing ships, the decks immaculately clean and the guns at quarantine firing u parting salute. But the poetry is all gone out of that ship as it comes out of that engagement, its deck red with human blood, wheelhouse gone, the cabins a pile of shattered mirrors and destroyed furniture, steering wheel broken, smokestack crushed, a hun dred pound Whitworth rifle shot hav ing left its mark from port to star board. the shrouds rent away, ladders splintered and decks plowed up and smoke blackened nud scalded corpses lying among those who are gasping their last gasp far away from home and kindred, whom they love as wo love wife and parents and children. Oh, men of the American navy re turned from Manila and Santiago and Havana, as well as those who are sur vivors of the naval conflicts of lSt»3 and 18(14, men of the western gulf squadron, of the eastern gulf squad ron, of the south Atlantic squadron, of the north Atlantic squadron, of the Mississippi squadron, of the 1‘nelfie squadron, of the West India squad ron and of the Potouinc flotilla, hear our thunks! Take the benediction of our churches. Accept the hospitali ties of the nation. If we had our way, we would get you not only a pen sion, but a home and a princely ward robe and ttn equipage and a banquet while you live and after your departure a catafalque and a* mausoleum of sculptured marble, with a model of the ship in which you won the day. It is considered a gallant thing when in a naval light the flagship with its blue ensign goes ahead up a river or into n bay, its admit al standing In the shrouds watching and giving orders. But I have to tell you. O veterans of the American uavy, If you are as loyal to Christ as you were to the govern ment. there is a flagship sailing ahead of you of which Christ Is the admiral, and he watches from the shrouds, and the heavens are the blue ensign, nnd he leads you toward the harbor, and all the broadsides of earth and hell can not damage you, and ye whivse gar ments were once red with your own blood shall have a rol>e washed nnd made white In the blood .of the Lamb. Then strike eight bells! High noon in heaven! A Word For Veteran*. While wo are heartily greeting and banqueting the sailor patriots Just now returned we must uot forget the vet erans of the navy now in marine hos pitals or spending their old days lu their own or their children's homo- steads. O ye veterans, I charge you bear up under the aches and weak nesses that you still carry from tho wartimes. You are not ns stalwart as you would have been but for that nerv ous strain nnd for that terrific ex posure. Let every ache and pain, In stead of depressing, remind you of your fidelity. Yon have In nerve and muscle and bone and dimmed eye sight and dllllcult hearing and short ness of breath tunny Intimations that you are gradually going down. It Is the service of many years ago that Is telling on you. Be of good cheer. We owe you Just ns much ns though year lifeblood had gurgled through the scup pers of tho ship In the Red river ex pedition or as though you had gone down with the Melville off Hatlerns. Only keep your flag (lying, as did the Illustrious Wreliawlten. Good cheer, my boys! The memory of man Is poor, and all that talk about the country : never forgetting those who fought for : It Is an untruth. It does forget. Wlt- ! ness how the veterans sometimes had j to turn the hand organs on the street ! to get their families a living. Wit- ! ness how ruthlessly some of them were i turned out of ofllce that some bloat of I a politician might take their place. 1 Witness the fact that there Is not a man or woman now under 45 years of age who lias any full appreciation of the four years’ martyrdom of 1801 to 180.7, Inclusive. But. while men may forget, God never forgets, lie remem bers the swinging hammock. He re- 1 members the forecastle.

Sometimes off the coast of England the royal family have Inspected the British uavy, maneuvered before them for that purpose. In the Baltic sen the czar and czarina have reviewed the Russian uavy. To bring before the American people the debt they owe to the uavy I go out with you on the At lantic ocean, where there Is plenty of room, ami In iuiagiiintlo;i review the war shipping of our four great con flicts—177(1. 1812. 18(io and 18'.)8 Sw ing Into line all ye frigates. Ironclads, lire rufts, gunboats uud men of war! There they come, all sail set and all furnaces In full blast, sheaves of crystal tossing from their cutting prows. And now nil the squadrons of all de partments, from smallest tugboat to mightiest man-of-war, are in proces sion, docks and rigging tilled with men who on the sea fought for the old flag ever since we were a nation. Grandest fleet the world ever saw! Sail on be fore tjll ages! Run up Jill the colors! Ring all the Indls! Yea. open all the porfludes! Unllmbor the guns and load, and tiro one great broadside that shall shake the continents In honor of peace and the eternity of the American LTi- Ion I But 1 lift my hand, and the scene 1ms vanished. Many of the ships have dropixid under the crystal pave ment of the deep, sea monsters swim ming In and out the forsaken cabin, and other old craft have swung Into the uavy yards, and many of the brave spirits who trod their decks are gone up to the Eternal fortress, from whose casements and embrasures may we not hope they look down today with joy upon a nation in reunited brother hood? Foote und FnrruKiit. All those of you who were In naval service during the war of 1S(>5 are now in the afternoon or evening of life. With some of you it is 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 4 o’clock. (1 o’clock, and it will soon bo sundown. If you were of age when the war broke out. you are now at least 00. Many of you have passed into the seventies. While in our Cu ban war there were more Christian commanders on sea and land than in any previous conflict, 1 would revive in your minds the fact that at least two great admirals of the civil war were Christians, Foote and Farmgut. Had the Christian religion been a cow ardly tiling they would have had noth ing to do with it. In its faith they lived and died. In Brooklyn navy yard Admiral Foote held prayer meetings and conducted a revival on the receiv ing ship North Carolina nnd on Sab baths. far out at sen, followed the chaplain with religious exhortation. In early life, aboard the sloop-of war Natchez, impressed by the words of a Christian sailor, he gave his spare time for two weeks to the Bible and at the end of that declared openly, “Henceforth, under all circumstances, I will act for God.” His last words while dying at the Astor House. New York, were: “I thank God for all his goodness to tin*. He lias been very good to me.” When he entered heaven, he did not have to run a blockade, for It was amid the cheers of a great wel come. Tlio other Christian admiral will be honored on earth until the day when the fires from above shall lick up the waters from beneath, and there shall be no more sea.

Old heart of oak— Farragut, Kanaaut— Tiiuaderbolt strokol According to his own statement, Far- rugut was very loose iu his morals In early manhood nnd practiced all kinds of sin. Oue day he was called iuto the cabin of his father, who was a shipmaster. Ills father said, "David, what are you going to be anyhow?” He answered, “I am going to follow the sea.” "Follow the sen,” said the father, "sml be kicked about the world and die In a foreign hospital?” “No,” said David; "1 am going to command like you.” "No," said the father, "a boy of your habits will never command anything.'’ And his father burst Into tears and left the cabin. From that day David Fnrragut started on a new life. CTiHstlun Sullor*. Captain Pennington, an honored eld er of my Brooklyn church, was with him In most of his battles and had his Intimate friendship, and he confirmed, what I had heard elsewhere, that Far- rngut was good nud Christian. In ev ery great crisis cf life he asked and obtained the Divine direction. When in Mobile bay the monitor Tecumseb sank from a torpedo and tho great war ship Brooklyn, that was to lead the squadron, turned back, he said he was at a loss to know whether to advance or retreat, and Im says: "I prayed, ‘O God, who created man and gave him reason, direct me what to do. Shall I go on?’ And a voice commanded me, ‘Go on.’ Aud I went on.” Was there ever a more touching Christian letter than that which he wrote to his wife from his flagship Hartford? "My dear est wlfo, 1 write ami leave this letter for you. I am going into Mobile bay lu the morning If God is my leader, and I hope lie is, and in him 1 place my trust. If he thinks it is the piopcr place for pie to die, 1 am ready to sub mit to bis will In that as all other things. God bless nud preserve you. my darling, and my dear boy If any thing should happen to me. May his blessings rest upon you and your dear mother.” Cheerful to the end, lie said on board the Tallapoosa In the last voyage lie ever took, "It would be well If I died now in harness.” The sublime Episco pal service for the dead was never more appropriately rendered than over his casket, and well did all the forts of New York harbor thunder as his body was brought to the wharf, nnd well did the minute guns sound and the bells toll us in n procession having iu its ranks the president of the United States nnd his cabinet and the mighty men of land aud sea the old admiral was carried amid hundreds of thou sands of uncovered heads on Broad way nnd laid on his pillow of (lust iu beautiful Woodlnwn Sept. 30 amid the pomp of our autumnal forests. But Just as much am I stirred at the scene on warship's deck before San tiago Inst summer, when the victory gill nod for our American flag over Spanish oppression the captain took off his hat and nil the sailors and sol diers did the same, and silently they offered thanks to Almighty God for what hud been aecompllubed, aud when on another ship the soldiers nnd sailors were cheering ns a 8[mulsh vessel sank and Its olllcers and crew were struggling In the waters nnd the captain of our warship cried out: “Don't cheer; the poor fellows are drowning." Prayers on deck! Prayers lu the forecastle! Prayers in the cabin! Prayers In I lie hammocks! Prayers on the lookout at midnight! The battles of that war opened with prayer, were pushed on with prayer nnd closed wllh prayer, nnd today the American nation recalls them with prayer. A Aittlon'a Grcetlnir, We hall with thanks the new genera tion of naval heroes, those of the year 1898. We are too near their marvelous deeds to fully appreciate them. A cen tury from now poetry nud sculpture nnd painting and history will do them j better justice than we can do them j now. A defeat at Manila would have J been an Infinite disaster. Foreign na- j tlons'not overfond of our American institutions would have joined the oili er side, and the war so many months past would have been raging still, and perhaps a hundred thousand graves would have opened to take down our slain soldiers and sailors. It took this country three years to get over the disaster at Bull Run at the opening of the civil war. Bow many years it would have required to recover from a defeat at Manila in the opening of the Spanish war I cannot s:\v. God avert ed the calamity by giving triumph to our navy under Admiral Dewey, whose coming up through the Narrows of New York harbor day before vesterday was greeted by the nation whoso wel coming cheers will not cease to re sound until tomorrow, and next day In the capital of the nation tho jewel ed sword voted by congress shall be presented amid booming cannonade and embamierod hosts, and our au tumnal nights shall become a confla gration of splendor, but the tramp of these processions and the flash of that sword aud the hi zza of that greeting and the roar of those guns and the il lumination of those nights will be seen and heard as long as a page of Ameri can history remains inviolate. Especially let the country boys of America join in these greetings to the returned heroes of Manila. It is their work. The chief character in all the scene is the once country la 1, George Dewey. Let tho Vermonters come down and find him older, but the same modest, unassuming, almost bashful perrdu that they went to school with and with whom they sported on tlio playground. The honors of all the world eaunot spoil him. A few weeks ago at a banquet in England some of the titled noblemen were affronted be cause our Ameiiean minister plenipo tentiary associated the name of Dewey with that of Lord Nelson. As well might we be affronted because the name of Nelson is associated with that of our most renowned admiral. The one name In all the coming ages will stand as high as the other. So this day, sympathizing with all the fes tivities and celebrations of the past week and with all the festivities and celebrations to come this week, let us anew thank God and those heroes of the American navy who have done such great things for our beloved land. Come aboard the old ship Zicn, ye sail ors and soldiers, whether still In the active service or honorably discharged and at home having resumed citizen ship. And ye men of the past, your last battle on the seas fought, take from me In God's name salutation and good cheer. For the few remaining fights with sin and death and hell make ready. Strip your vessel for the fray. Hang the sheet chains over the side. Send down the topgallant masts. Bar ricade the wheel. Rig in the flying jib boom. Steer straight for the shin ing shore aud hear the shout of the great Commander of earth and heaven as he cries from the shrouds. “To him that overcometh will 1 give to oat of the tree of life which is In the midst of the paradise of God.” Hosanna! Ho sanna! To Clean .Straw Hats. A nice straw or leghorn hat may be cleaned at home, and made to look like new. Fill a pail half full of warm suds—a tablespoonful of Gold Dust Washing Powder will make the right kind of suds and whiten the straw. Immerse the straw, mov ing it up and down until every fiber is wet; then lift it from the water lay it upon a hoard or table, and brush it with a still brush thoroughly. After all the soil is removed, rinse in clean warm water; let it drip for a few moments, then iron it. with a thin cloth between; press the crown over a bowl or pail upside down, ironing on the wrong side to make it stiller.
