Commodore
Today, tlic seventh v
of May, 1774, Wil
liam Bainbridge was
born at Princeton,
New Jersey, and at
fifteen years of age
he went to sea as a
common sailor. Cap
tain Wm. Bainbridge
was the first man to
'unfurl the American
flag in the harbor of
Constantinople. He
became popular in
the merchant service,
and in the antici
pated Avar with France was offered the position
of lieutenant in the American Navy.
His first cruise was as commander of the
schooner Retaliation, which was captured by
two French vessels and taken to Guadeloupe.
The government of that island offered
Bainbridge his liberty and his schooner if he
would promise to return to the United States
without disturbing French vessels, which
condition he refused.
About 1799 he behaved so well that he was
placed in command of the frigate Washington
and ordered to Algiers, and was instrumental
in saving the French residents there, and for
this Napoleon, the first Consul, thanked Captain
Bainbridge.
In July, 1803, he sailed in the frigate
Philadelphia in the squadron of Commodore
Preble in the Mediterranean. He captured a
Moorish vessel and blockaded Tripoli, where the
Philadelphia ran upon a reef of rocks, and
Bainbridge and his crew were captured and
imprisoned and put into slavery until they were
liberated by treaty. He was given the command
of the Constellation, was transferred to the
Constitution after the destruction of the
Guerriere, and was dangerously wounded when
he captured the British frigate Java, December,
1812.
For his gallantry, Congress awarded him a
gold medal. In 1813 he took command of the
Navy Yard at Charlestown. After the war he
went twice to the Mediterranean in command of
squadrons to protect American commerce. He
died in Philadelphia, 27th of July, 1833, and was
held in high esteem.
His name added to the honors of our city
and should never be forgotten. Our new Navy
now coming on opens opportunities and fine
careers for our young men.

On the Trail of
the Best Silks
First it wns n certain grade
of white habutai that ono of our
own employees wanted. The price
here seemed high, so she made a
tour of all the other stores. Kver -
where else the quality was poorer
or the price more (sometimes
both) so she came back to Wana
maker's and bought the silk she
saw first.

while habutais at 8oc, $1.15, $1.33,
$1.65 and 52.25 a yard.
Second a silk meichant fiom

will take every one of your $2
pongees and I can sell them at a
piofit. Theic is nothing to equal
them anywhere else."
We couldn't let him liac them
in such quantities, of course, bc

"Belgium"
By
Brand Whitlock
The publishers confidently
piesent "liclgium" as1 the most
valuable literary woik that has
giown out of the war. The
fact that an American Minis
ter stationed in Belgium dur
ing her years of agony tells of
what he saw. from an Amcii
can standpoint, and for tin
Ameiican audience, is in itself
important. Add tliat this story
is told fiom cxaejt daily rec
ords', and still further that it
is told by a trained and bril
liant writer, and you will per
ceive why one's first thought
is of the importance of the
woik, and one's last of itb

The Schomacker
quarter-grand
The beauty of the Schomacker quarter-grand wc shall paj?"'
by with a word. Kveiy one admire a handsome instrument,
but il is the physical etci tor of a matin that is most oasilv
imitated.
About the dignity of the Schomackei quarter-grand wc shall
have more to say. Dignity in it piano is like dignity in a man,
the sjmbol of a full measure of honorable years. Wc can no
moie associate the idea of dignity with the stenciled upstarts
of the piano world than ve could with a flashily dressed and
llippant young man.
I'or over throe-quarters of a century the Schomacker has
held a foiemost place in musical circles and eight Piesidents
have had it in the White House. Few pianos in, tho world have
won such dignity.
Hut it is the tone of the Schomacker quarter-grand that
counts for most, and it was the tone that made it so famous.
There is something about the Schomacker tone that dis
tinguishes it from all other pianos. I seems to find an answer
ing chotd in every heart. Finished musicians can pick a Scho
macker out of a roomful of pianos just by hearing the instru
ments played.
A pioduct of Philadelphia, the Schomacker is ono of tho'
best-beloved pianos in the homes of the City of Homes. Who
ever gets one may count on satisfaction.
