CONDENSED STORIES. Trug Verilon ot Dtvny't Famou* Order aftfanlla Bay. Did Admiral Dewey ever give the "■new historical order, “You may fire when you are ready, Gridley ?” In terested spectators of the engage ment say that thoee worda were nov- <a spoken, but the sentence wu ar ranged after the fight was over. The inaide facts regarding the great May day battle of 1898 put a new light on the incident, and one who talked wjth the admiral soon after that ' ’ battle is authority for the following Teracious account: Admiral Dewey never gave the •order, in those words at leapt. That utterance wus put in hia mouth by others and agreed upon as an appro priate one to hand down to poster Ity along with tho other famous sav ings of history.' Soon after the last shot had been fired and the Spanish . power in the Pacific was, a thing of the past the newspaper correspond ents gathered about the admiral, as is the custom on such occasions, to get tho facts for their dispatches. The admiral told briefly everything that had taken place, and when he bad finished- hia.,recital the group fell to discussing the events of the -day. Finally one of them remind ed the admiral that it waa custom ary for aome famous utterance to be banded down from every important •engagement in history; some terae, brief expression characteristic of the man who led his forces to. vic tory. “Didn’t yon make some ut terance or give some order during the fight that we can use in this -connection ?” asked- one of the news paper men. “No,” replied the com mander in chief; “nothing in par ticular that I recollect.” “Well, didn’t you give some direc tion 1 of some sort that can be used ordered the fray to begin?” asked the correspondent. “Simply order ed Captain Gridley to-go ahead.” “Ah I” ejaculated the correspond- . ents, breathing sighs of relief. And thereupon the famous order, couch ed in the words which, have become known everywhere, was suggested and agreed upon generally. The subsequent dispatches were featured -by the words then arranged and put into the shape in whuch, the order will appear m .histories for centu- xies to. coma a V Visitors, to JpMbi&giojji fill recall lh» bronze statuo of Abraham.

He carries a num ber of fine jewels with him, which he sella to jockeys, trainers, plun gers and other followers of the for tunes of the turf. “I have been following this busi ness for about forty years,” he said, “and have handled some fine gems. I only sell to people I know, and one of my regulations is to enter into an agreement with the purchaser to buy the stone b*ek if he wishes within fire years from the date of purchase at 5 per cent less than he paid me for it. Jockeys love jewelry more than any other class of men. Some young rider will win a race, make a killing, and will get to feel ing pro It-- good. One of the first things he docs is to buy a lot of jewelry, and I have made a etudy of being on hand to furnish him with just what he wants. One day not many months ago I sold a jockoy $1,200 worth of diamonds.” —Louisville Herald. was on inscription telling the his tory of the memorial.

An interesting investigation now being carried on in Florida by tha bureau of fisheries has for its ob ject the discovery and development of methods by which the valuable aheep wool sponge may be cultivat ed artificially. The method which promises the most satisfactory results is that of using cuttings. Large aheep wool sponges are cut into small pieces, which arc fastened to an insulated wire fixed in the water, so that the sponges arc supported a few inches above the bottom. These small bite, placed at close intervals along the wire, soon heal and form an organic attachment to it, and very soon be gin to grow. It is too soon to pre dict just what the results will be, but tho indications are, so far, very encouraging, and it is believed that the time is not far distant when the sponge fisheries of Florida will be vastly increased in productiveness and value. — National Geographic Magazine. , - • Th.

A clergyman who was 1 raveling stopped at a hotel much frequented by wags and jokers. • The host, not being used to hav ing a clergyman at his table, looked at him with surprise. The guests used 'nU their raillery of wit upon him without eliciting a remark. •The clergyman ate his dinner S uietly, apparently without obsorv-. ijf the gibes and 6necrs of hia neighbors. One of them at last, in despair of his forbearance, said to him: “Well, I wonder at your patience! Have you not heard all that has been said to you?” “Oh, yes; but I am used to it.
