|BV THE STUDENTS],
Class of Ninety-eight, our greeting
Now is echoed by farewell
Of the lessons learneil in school-room
Soon our livesHhroad w ill ti 11.
Side by side for weeks we've labored.
Learned each other's mind and heart.
Kead in each some hoiie anil vur|iose.
Friends from whom we soon will part.
As the waters of Mukoma
Lap the lakelet's shore.
May our spirits'search for know ledge.
Ceaseless be forever more;
As the mountains in the distance.
Let us set our standard high.
Let us climb and climb to reach it.
Never pause until we die.
In our joy and pride of beauty,
ill our ho|>e and strength of youth.
What is beauty without honor'.'
What is half so strong as truth '.'
Hy our acts we write our history-
Men have read it as they ran—
Thoughts and deeds are.what we thrive on.
Years alone ne'er made a man.
Years will come, O, will they find us
Living nobler every day.
Are the losses ami the crosses
Met and borne ill His own way
Have we learned one chord of prelude
To eternity's refrain ?
Have we known one inspiration.
Then our school was not in vain.

!id STONE
I -LOST HIS JOB.
! •
He Was the Original Offensive
Partisan.
REFUSED TO TAKE ORDEBS.
Wlien sldent Clrvi'lanrt Prohibited
llepulfllean Office Holders From
Serving Their Party, Colonel Stone
Promptly Went oil tlie Stump—The
Campaign to Open With u llaug of
M it CiuiiH at Pittsburg and to lie
Full of Speech Making.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Aug. 9.—"1 suppose X
will have to plead guilty to originating
one expression in the uolltical lan
guage of the country, although I don't
give utterance to it," said the Republi
can candidate for governor the other
day. Colonel Stone is temporarily so
journing at Atlantic City, but comes
up to town frequently. While the cam
paign will not be formally opened un
til the second week of September, when
the State League of Republican clubs
meet at Pittsburg, the party enthusi
asm has declined to await on formal
ities this year, and the calls for Colonel
Stone have been so frequent that he
will have but little time outside of his
own state between now and the elec
tion.
He has alwavs been a good cam
! paigner, since he began making Re
j publican speeches before he was of age,
: and his remark quoted above had ref
erence to this phrase, "offensive par
tisanship," which he was the occasion
for President Cleveland to embalm
among the modern classics of political
expression. Colonel Stone was the origi
nal offensive partisan. He happened to
be I'nited States district attorney for
the western district of Pennsylvania
when the state campaign of 1886 came
on, and In pursuance of President
Cleveland's attempt to emasculate as
many leading Republicans as possible,
received an intimation that If he did
not display offensive partisanship,
which is to sav if he would sit on the
fence and let his party ticket look out
for itself, he could retain his office.
That Is just what he didn't do. He
went on the stump at the first call from
Hie state committee, and President
Cleveland promptly exacted the pen
alty by putting a man in Ills place
whose partisanship, being Democratic,
was presumably innocuous.
If the president had wanted a va
cancy In that office he could not have
devised a better way to get It, for one
look at the head and neck that top out
the gigantic figure of the present I?e
--publican candidate for governor is
enough to indicate that he is not well I
built for taking orders from anybody.
He is deliberate in the extreme in i
making up his mind, as is usually the j
habit with farm bred men, who like i
to roll a subject over from one end of :
the furrow to the other and back again,
but he doesn't sub-let the contract to j
anybody else, and his convictions will
all stand without being hitched.
He comes naturally by his disposi
tion, with New Kngland blood on the
one Bide of his ancestry, and Pennsyl
vania German on the other. His father,
although only a DO acre farmer, a poor
man all his life, was the general trust
officer of the neighborhood, and for 20
years before his death nobody In the
township thought of making a will
without getting him to write it, and ap
pointing him executor of the estate. He
was naturally, of course, a man who
liked to be the head of his own house
hold. and so. when the present candi
date for governor, at the age of 15.
went after the cows one night, and
didn't come back, but followed his two '
older brothers to the army instead, the j
old gentleman promptly went after him j
and got him dSscharged. But he shortly |
discovered w.hat President Cleveland
found out In 1886, that whether it was
his country or his party that he
thought needed his services, his son
couldn't be held back. It was onlv a
short time till he ran away and en
listed again, and this time h(s father
concluded he might as well let him go.
He. showed the same independent
spirit in the matter of his first nomina
tion for congress. The delegates had
been elected in the interest of the then
sitting member, Colonel Thomas M.
Bayne, but at the last moment ho
astonished everybody by declining a
renominatlon, and turned it over to
Colonel Stone, who had not previously
been mentioned as a candidate. There
had been no contest, and the district
was so overwhelmingly Republican that
any dissatisfaction which might have
arisen from this unusual cdrcumstance
would have had no effect on the re
sult, but Colonel Stone promptly de
clined to receive a nomination on any
body else's credit, and went Into new
primaries and won out on his own
strength.
One of the best descriptions of how he
Impresses people as a campaigner, by
the way, appeared in the Scranton Tri
bune last week, as follows:
"Colonel Stone, the Republican nom
inee for governor. Is not a popinjay,
nor a poseur, as those who met him
yesterday can attest. He is a modest,
straightforward and unassuming man.
who without any flourishes impresses
the observer with his reserve strength
and his sincerity. No man who looks
him steadily in the eyes or takes care
ful measure of his words and manner
■will depart from his presence with a
feeling of skepticism as to his integ
rity or his moral courage. The clean
grit and stubborn fiber of the obscure
Tioga county farmer boy who worked
his way to the front by sheer dint of
persevering studiousness and Industry
is in him yet, and also the candor and
the total absence of vain pretension.
"Colonel Stone Is not an orator and
does not try to be. Those who shall
goto hear him during the ensuing
campaign with the expectation of hear
ing a thrilling exercise in word jugglery
■will be disappointed, because he is not
that kind of a man. In speech he often
becomes eloquent, but it is the rugged
eloquence of honest earnestness, with
out a suggestion of stage play or make
believe. His meeting with the people
Is hand to hand and face to face, en
tirely candid and unaffected. He In
dulges In no theatric attempts to win
applaus* or capture popular favor. Hi
says his say with homely directness
and hfs hearers are then left to Judg*
of It for themselves.
"It Is evident that Colonel Stone's
brief visit to this region—which Is
merely preliminary—that the Republi
can candidate for governor will grow
steadily upon the public respect and
confidence the more he meets the peo
ple of the commonwealth. In his pres
ence the electorate will be conscious,
not of the hysteria which Is a pre
dominant characteristic of the various
so-called reform movements of the day,
nor of the semi-humorous thimble rig
ging which seems to be Inseparable
from the Pennsylvania Democracy
since the death of Samuel J. Randall,
but it will experience instead the tran
quillity of assurance which comes from
confident mastery of the situation. It
will come to realize ere the campaign
is ended that In Colonel Stone we are
to have a governor fit to face the full
measure of the solemn responsibilities
of the office."
Most Republicans in the state will
have a chance to verify this descrip
tion for themselves between now and
November, for this is going to be an
active stumping campaign, and when
it opens in Pittsburg next month it
will open with a bang of big guns.
While there is a general feeling of con
fidence that it will be as easy as Porto
Rico, there Is an equally general feel
ing, inside 'and outside of the state,
that In Pennsylvania, as In Porto Rico,
for the sake of the moral effect the vic
tory ought to be majestically large and
decisive.
GEORGK H. WELSHONS.
COMMODORE WATSON.
The Olttear Salactad to lavada tlis Span It®
roast—Lashed Farragut to the JRlggiuc-
Commodore Watson, who was se
lected for the important work of me
nacing tha Spanish coast, la an able
and efficient officer, as modest as he is
able, and who has been performing a
duty of the utmost importance and
value to the country concerning which
very little has beeu printed. Commo
dore John Crittenden Watson, who,
with a fleet composed for tbe most part
of small ships has been maintaining
the blockade of Havana and othet
North Cuban ports, is » man who by
virtue of his commission is tbe senior
both of Sampson and Schley, and yet
reports to the former. Commodore
Schley is, on the naval register, acting
Rear Admiral Bantpson's senior by two
numbers, and by the same token Com
modore Watson ranks ahead of Schley
It Is probably not remembered by
many that it was the same Commodore
Watson, then a young lieutenant, who
lashed Karragut to the rigging during
the battle of Mobile Bay. This inci
dent of the great struggle between the
•States long since became historic, and
poets and artists have found in it th»
inspiration for some of their best and
most spirited work. This is the story
briefly told:
The powerful Confederate Ironclad
Tennessee attacked the Hartford
fiercely. Farragut took up his position
111 the port mizzeu rigging, the bettet
to observe the progress of the fight
and to direct and cheer 011 his men
Lieutenant Watson, seeing the great
danger to which the interepid admira,
was exposing himself, procured a rope
and lashed htm in his place. In a let
ter which Lieutenant Watson wrote tc
his mother after the battle, he men
tions in detail the recklesu bravery of
Farragut, and adds: "At length 1 lash
ed him to the rigging with my own
bands, having In vain begged him not
to stand in such an exposed place."
The relations which existed between
Admiral Farragut and his flag lieuten
ant were of the moot affectionate de
scription. In his official report of the
Alobile battle, Farragut showed what
he thought of Watson. "Lieuten
ant Watson," he wrote, "has been
brought to your attention in formet
times. He was on the poop attending
to the signals and performed his duty
as might be expected, thoroughly. He
is a scion worthy of the noble stock he
sprang from, and I commend him to
your attention."
There is no better blood in the navy
than flows in the veins of Commodore
Watson. He was born In Frankfort
Ky„ Aug. 24, 1842. Ills father, Edward
Howe Watson, was a skilful and popu
lar physician of the old school, and hit
mother, Sarah Lee Crittenden Watson
was a daughter of John Jordan Crit
tenden, the famous Kentucky states
man, rival of Henry Clay, governor at
one time of Kentucky and attorney
general in William Henry Harrison's
cabinet.
Commodore Watson was married ID
1873 to Miss Elizabeth Thornton, a dis
tant connection, and daughter of Judge
James Thornton of San Francisco. The
result of this union WAS eight children,
seven of whom are living. The eldest
son, John Edward Watson, is an en
sign in the navy, and is now attached to
the cruiser Detroit. Commodore Wat
son's naval career has been a notable
one. He entered the Naval Academy
Sept. 29, 1856, and was graduated in
June, 1860, standing high in his class
He was immediately assigned to the
rank of midshipmuo, and Aug. 15 join
ed the Susquehanna in that capacity
for a cruise to Europe. While he wat
abroad the civil war broke out, and
he returned at once to take part in It
He was promoted to the rank of mas
ter Aug. 31, 1861. His career as a
fighter did not really begin, however,
until Jan. 10, 1862, when he was or
dered to the Hartford as navigator
This was Admiral Farragut's flagship
He was commissioned a lieutenant
July 16, 1862, and in January, 1864, he
was made flag lieutenant to Farragut
He was at thfi battles of New Orleans
Mobile Bay, Vicksburg and Port Hud
son. In a letter to his son l.oyal dur
ing the war Admiral Farragut tells ol
Watson's volunteering to slip off and
blow up a blockade runner. Among
other things be says:"lt was an anx
ious night for me, as I am about as
fond of Watsah as I am of your own
uear sen.
The ship referred to by Farragut was
burned—blown up as effectuallly and
completely as the Merrimac the
other day by fietoic Hohson and his
equally heroic crew.
At the close of the civil war Lieu
tenant Watsor. was ordered to the
Colordo, on the European station. He
was made lieutenant commander July
26, 1866; commander Jan. 23, 1874;
captain March £, 1887, and commodore
Nov. 7, 1897. During the last thirty
years he has commanded a number of
the best ships ID the navy and hold im
portant posts 011 shore. His wife and
unmarried children reside at the Naval
Home in Philadelphia, of which insti
tution he was governor for a number
of years.
Tii«» Spanlah Throne Itoom.
The throne room of Spain is a mag
nificent apartment of crimson and gold,
with colossal mirrors and a chandelier
of rock crystal that is considered the
finest example of the kind in the world.
Under the gorgeous canopy are two
large chairs handsomely carved and
gilded, and upholstered in crimson
brocade. These are the thrones of
Spain, where the boy King and Queen
Regent sit on occasions of ceremony.
Sometimes the daughters stand beside
their mother, when It is proper for all
the royal family to receive the court.

be worth aboivt S3O. Patriotism was
