Manila Hero Arrives at New York Two Days Ahead of Time. OLYMPIA ANCHORS INSIDE SANDY HOOK. Flagship Is Greeted By Admiral's Salute and Demonstrations of Welcome By Innumerable Small Craft—Dewey and His Men Are Glad to Get Home. A New York special says: Much to the surprise of every one in the city the Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on board, arrived off the Sandy Hook lightship at f:55 Tuesdny morning. There was a heavy mist on the sea, and at first the marine observers were inclined to think the vessel sighted might be Hear Admiral Howison’s flagship, Ihe Chicago, hardly believ ing Dewey would arrive two days ahead of time. The doubt was soon cleared away, however, and as passing vessels rec ognized the flagship from Manila bay there was a continuous blowing of whistles in salute. The first shout of welcome was from the pilots and crew of pilot boat No. 7, fifteen miles south of tho Hook lightship. It happened to be Pilot John Peterson's turn, and at . r >:'j() a. m. ho was put aboard the Olympia and brought her around the Hook and into the lower bay. The marine observers along the roast had sighted the Olym pia in the first light of morn. The shore batteries of Fort Hancock let loose seventeen guns. The flag ship replied with twenty-one, and let go her anchors not far from where the cup challenger Shamrock in moored. The admiral was in his country again, after twenty-three months’ ab sence. He had returned “great with the arduous greatness of things done” and he scarcely seemed to realizo it. The pilot had brought aboard the Sunday papers and a reporter of the Associated Press wan received by the admiral in a cabin littered by the illustrated Dewey editions, which to gether mado hundreds of pages in black and white and in colors, all concerning the great admiral and the preparations made to receive him: “It almost saddens me,” he said,“to nee what, my people are doing for me. The pride and gratification is immense and 1 cannot express the appreciation I feel. I did not know, I did not really perceive, until this morning the splendid welcome that my countrymen are giving me. “I am mighty glad to get home. It is not good for a man to live on ship board for twenty-three months.” The admiral's manner is gentle and kind, but he is exceedingly wary and did not permit himself to wander off into polities or to express those posi tive views he no doubt holds about the Philippines and American affairs there. His attention was brought to inter views in which he is described ns go ing rather fully into the character of the Filipinos and their fitness for self government, and said: “1 cannot stand for any interviews giving my opinion on political sub jects and the Philippines. I disown any views ascribed to me on those subjects.” The flagship came up to the lower bay and anchored inside Sandy Hook. As soon as the anchor was dropped, an orderly was sent ashore with dispatches from the admiral and other officers. The admiral’s early arrival was a matter of great ooncern to the city au thorities who were arranging for New Fork’s welcome. Secretary Foster of the reception committee went to the WASHINGTON IN ATLANTA. Cot. Candler Welcome* Noted Colored Man On ltahalf of iirorgin- Five hundred negroes heard Booker T.

Among the other speakers was Gov. Candler, who welcomed Prof. Wash ington on behalf of the state. NAYT WIRES DEWET. Department Bend* Mnnit of Welcome to Manila Hero. The navy department sent the fol lowing message of welcome to Admi ral Dewey Tuesday morning: “Navy Dkpabtuknt, Washington, Sept. 26.—Admiral George Dewey. Sandy Hook: The department is happy to learn of yonr safe arrival, aud ex tends to you aud your officers aud crew the most cordial welcome. (Signed) “John D. Long.” city hall early and issue/1 a called for a special meeting of the committee. Mayor Van Wyck hurried to his of fice, where he found the following tel egram: ‘■Olympia arrived this morning. Will go to Tompklnsville tomorrow. (Signed) Gkoboh Dewet.” The mayor advised tho calling to gether of all the city’s committees and telegrams were sent out calling on the members of the plan and scope committee and the various sub-com mittees to meet as quickly as possible at the city hall. Alluding to his arrival two days ahead of the time he was oxpected, Admiral Dewey said: ‘‘l am sorry that I am ahead of the schedule. The Olympia has been steaming at the rate of ten knots an hour since we left Gibraltar. Several days ago we knew that we would arrive before Thursday unless we moderated our speed or went somewhere out of our course. Captain Dumbarton, Lieutenant Brumby and I held a con sultation. “The propriety of running in to Hampton Hoads or some other port in the south was spokeu of, but we con cluded that we ought not to touch land first anywhere eig'ept at New York. It was suggested that we cruise some distance outside New York har bor until Thursday, but we knew that if we did that we would be discovered and reported. The weather looked a little squally and it seemed better to be inside the Hook than outside. But the consideration that really decided us to come into port was to give Cap tain Lamberton a chance to clean up tho ship before our voyage up the harbor. Captain Lamberton and I are very proud of the Olympia and we wanted enough time at our anchorage to rub her down and malffe her look spick and span.” The anchors were hardly down be fore details of tho crow were washing the ship’s white sides and touching up the stains with paint. The admiral’s first business was to send an officer ashore with telegrams for the navy department, Mayor Van Wyck and General Butterfield, an nouncing the arrival. He then spent most of the morning looking over newspapers and receiving reporters. Dr. Sanborn, of the port physicians staff, visited the Olympia and looked at her papers. Eleven of the crew of 375 men have typhoid fever. Some of the cases are convalescent and all of them are of a mild type, according to l)r. Percy, the ship’s surgeon. No ono has died of the fever aud with this exception, the sailors and marines are well. All day tugs, sailboats and excur sion steamers cruised near the Olym pia and took a look at her. Every body who asked was permitted to go on board. Some of the parties of sightseers on launches and steamers were invited by the officer of the deck to come up the gnngwav. The North German Lloyd steamer Saale, outward bound, passed close to the Olympia. The Wanle’s passengers crowded to the rails. Admiral Dewey responded to waving handkerchiefs by lifting his cap several times. The Scale's baud played the “Star Span gled Banner” ami the Olympia dipped her llag. The Gummier Urania pass ed out half an hour afterwurd. She fired seventeen signal bombs. Ad miral Dewey directed the Olympia’s band to play “God Save the Queen.” ACTRESS’ HUSBAND FREED. tlulia Morrison, Slnvt>r of Fitutk l.oldon. Held Without Bond.

Bill Takes rieasnre In Fnliglktalitff lipyt and Girl* Who Art Seeking Knowledge and Wlhloiii. It is a hopeful sign that so many of the young girls and hoys have a thirst for knowledge. Tho youth’s depart ment in the newspapers and magazines is growing into importance and their letters to the editors betoken studious inquiring minds. The art of letter writing is itself not only an aecom [ plishrnent, but a good part of a polish ed education. Letters indicate char acter and good letters require thought. The letters of notable men and women are the best part of their biographies. They are an index to the heart, the emotions, the disposition. Time was when but few could write at all, and tho openiug of mail in a country town was a small affair. I know from ex perience, for when I was in my teens, my father was the postmaster and I had the work to do. There are now at least ten letters per capita to where there was one in those days. One great drawback on letter writing then was the cost of postage. A letter to a place within the state was 12 j cents and the postage had to be paid by the person receiving it, and if it was a poor letter he felt like he was cheated. Many a letter was handed back to me with such a remark as, “well, I reckon it’s from Dick .Tones, over in Arkan saw, and I han’t got the quarter. Just put it back ontil I come ag’in.” It keep* me busy now-a-days to an swer all the letters I receive. My wife and daughters help to keep up the cor respondence with the far-away boys and the other kindred, but god friends who write kind letters to me must be answered in person. Such letters are a pleasure and a comfort. Then, there are many letters asking for charity or a little help for a church that only reminds me how poor I am. Bnt these letters from inquiring minds who are in pursuit of knowledge and perplexed about the mysteries of nature always interest me, and I have to pretend to be a wise man whether I am or not. Now, here is one from a pretty school girl in her teens. I know that she is pretty, because she writes a pretty letter and there is not a blot nor an erasure or a misspielled word. She wants to know where the day be gins and why, and where the naviga tors first find a change. Of course that is worth knowing, and I suppose that veiy few outside of the colleges and the continental travelers and the sea faring men understand it. Well, my dear girl, the day begins just where man begun—in the garden of Eden. If the Creator had chosen New York or Charleston for that gar den, the day would have begun over here on this continent and extended westward to California, as the people multiplied and carried it there. Of course tho day kept its name and its dato around, and east of Palestine as far as the sea, but “westward the tide of empire takes its way,” and so did tho tide of time. Columbus brought the day with him to this continent. From our eastern coast tho people took it to California, aud from there the missionaries took it to the Sand wich islands, and it continued to fol low the sun until tho navigators got around to Bombay and Hong Koug aud Cairo and found they had lost a day and it was Monday instead of Sun day. And those who sailed eastward and traveled against the sun found they had gained a day and it was Sat urday instead of Sunday. But it is not so now, for there is an international line in midocean—a mon dean that has been established by the great powers and accepted by the nav igators ot all nations ns tne etinnge or date lino. This lino is 180 degrees west of Greenwich ami runs from New Zealand north to Bering straits nnd goes not far from Samoa. It is just half way round the world from Lou don nnd is called the Antipode of Greenwich. It is 1,300 miles west of Hawaii aud 0,600 west of San Fran cisco. This line is check-marked on the up-to-date maps and Sunday is printed on the west side and Monday on the east. Navigators tell by their log books and compass when they have reached it, and the captain or the mate announces with great ceremony: “Set the day clock back twenty-tour hours. We have crossed the line.” • For many years our American rail ways, as they pressed their way from the Atlantic to the Pacific, fouud the question of time very confusing, nnd hence by consent of action they estab lished four divisions of railway time and marked longitnndinnl lines 1,000 miles apart to indicate them. When the train crosses one of these lines the passengers set their watches baik or forward just one hour, for the sun moves or seems to move jnst 1,000 miles an hour. These mondean lines divide time into eastern, central, moun tain and Pacific, amt they pass through New York City, St. Louis, Denver and Carson City, and therefore when it is 12 o’clock in New York City it is only 9 o'clock in California. The railroad companies, however, could not cut their lines ip two to suit these mon deans and hence their railroad time is a zig-zag crooked line to fit their ter minal points, but it approximates the mondean. This is not all that could be written about time and where the day begins, but it is euough to satisfy the school a telegraM’ nuMsri noon it gets fins morning. The a|k fought on Bunday*k)i news of it came on fore. How is that? Edgar ‘Poe wrote a pL.. called “Three which he told about a yX was adopted and reared* i.e or uncle who hadEl •tptain, and how the oldfl eave his nephew a large fr~ behaved to suit him. T* was cross and contrary anil man was awfully uneasyS would do something to dijS At last ho fell in love, of 9 a very poor but prettjyjT Kate. T’hey kept and lived ori it for abonfl. thought tho old captain d‘ it, but he did. So they tret married, even tho’ it stw the old man mad and he toll them out of doors and not ld|| anything when he died. Solyl S day morning Jack took KatesHße hand and boldly they went is9|Me old man’s presence and told hflpwU about it, and that they had oom&fer his consent and for him to fix the day when they should be married. The old fellow was really glad of it, for he liked the girl, but he couldn’t help being contrary and so he blustered around and protended to be very mad, and finally wound np by saying: “Yos, yes, yon may get married, and I’ll say when— yc.s, when. Well, you may get married when there are three Sun days in a week. Yes, then and not before.” This was awful and the sad young couple were about to leave when there was a knock at the door. When it was opened two sailors, sea oaptains, too, came rushing in and seized the old man’s hands and hugged him, and ail three got jolly, for they were old chums and had not seen each other for a year. The old nnela introduced them to the young man and Kate and said something nice about them. He soon brought out soma fine old Madeira and made everybody take a drink. After while Captain Pratt said: “Well, now I remember that the last time we were together we had a royal game of cards. Suppose we have another game as a reminder.” “Ob, no,” said tbeold uncle. “Good friends,you forget that this is Sunday, and true Englishmen never play cards on Sunday.” “Sunday, indeed,” ex claimed Captain Pratt, “It is Monday, yesterday was Sunday, and I had prayers on board ship as I always do.” Captain Smithson by this time was ex cited and exclaimed: “Why you both are crazy. Today is Saturday and to morrow will be Sunday. Didn’t I make my sailors scrub ship this morn ing before sunrise as we came into port, and don’t wo always srcub ship on Saturday? What are you thinking about?” Then the old uncle laughed and chuckled and danced around tho room in great glee, for the wine was doing its work. “Sunday—Sunday!” he exclaimed. “Pratt savs that yesterday was Sun day, Smithson swears that tomorrow will Vie Sunday, and I swear that to day is Sunday. Ha! lia! ha! I see how it is. Pratt sailed west from Lon don and Smithson sailed east and have been round the world in oppo site directions, and I have stayed at home. Three Sundays in a week, by Jupiter. Here, Jack, you young dog, go after the preacher and yon aud Kate get married today, for it will be a long time before three Sundays come together again.” I haven’t told the story as Poe told it, bnt that is the gist of it.—Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. COMPOSITORS WERE DISATISIFED. Non-Union Typr-Sottera on Nmv York Sun Claim Bad Treatment. A New York dispatch ssys: A num ber of the non-union compositors who took the place of the locked out printers of lhe Snn struck Tuesday night. They complain that they have been unjustly treated and that the management has not kept the agreement made with them. According to their story they were to receive 50 cents per 1,000 em, which is the union wage scale. They have received this, but from eight to ten proof correctors have been em ployed and their wages of 60 cents per hour have been deducted from the earnings of the compositors. FRANTZ SUICIDED. Collcfe Protestor Dil Not Die From Hein urrhaßp Reported. The news comes from Oxford,Ga.,that the coroner's jury and later proceed ings have developed that Professor William A. Frantz, the man who was to have taken charge of the English department of Emory college at the opening of school, did not come to his death by a hemorrhage from his lungs, as was first published, but that it was a case of mysterious suciide. This, however, was not publicly known until after the coroner’s jury had made their verdict to the effect that Profes sor Frantz came to his death by the use of a pocket knife in his own hands. There were kn-ife wounds on the body. Aged Naval Officer Dead. Captain Francis S. Haggerty, United States navy, retired, died at New York Monday, aged ninety years.
