'Acting Rear Admiral William T.
Sa'mpson owes his position in the navy
Ito his own individual efforts, and not
to any influence. He has worked hard
for all his honors and well deserves
them. He is the son of poor parents,
had to divide his time, when a boy,
between work and study, and in the
face of seemingly insurmountable dif-
ficulties he has, by close application to
his duties and to study, risen to his
present high rank. He was born in
Palmyrna, N. Y., February 8, 1840. His
father was a. farm laborer and could
notEafford to let his son devote much
time .to his school books. Young
Sampson was not willing to do so, even
had his father been disposed to permit
him, to spend his time as other boys
did. When old enough he went to
school, but the conditions were such
that he needs must find time, too, to do '
the chores, cut and pile wood, and do
much other hard work known to far—
mers' boys. .
He pluckily kept hard at work with"
his books, however, and Principal Far-
mer of the Classical Union School took
a great liking to the boy and helped
him in his studies. The young man
had an insatiable thirst for informa-
tion, and despite the fact that he had
less time to devote to it than many of
the other boys in the school, he soon
distanced them in the race for know"-
edge.

WILLIAM T. SAMPSON.
Mr. Farmer enlisted the interest 01
W. H. Southwick of Palmyrna, and,
Congressman E B. Morgan in young,
Sampson, with the result that Mr."
Morgan offered to appoint him to the
Naval Academy when there was a va—
cancy. When the proposition was
made Principal Farmer decided to
make .a specialeffort to bring the. boy"
through withvfly‘ing colors, and he of-
fered togive’ his pupil some special in-'
structi-on to fit him for the Annapolis
examination. The result was that he
had the necessary books and worked
hard over them. When. the examination
was held young Sampson’s percentage
was higher than that of any other 8.9:,
plicant for the nomination. .
William Sampson entered the Naval
Academy in 1857, and was graduated
first in his class three years later. HisY
first cruise was made in the frigate
Potomac in 1861, and during that year
he was promoted master In 1862 he:
was commissioned a lieutenant, and
was detailed to the practice ship John
Adams, dn which he remained until
the end of 1863, when he went back to'
the academy. After that 'he got his
first taste of war and distinguished
himself highly.~ He was detailed to the
ironclad Patapsco in 1864. The Pampas?
co was one of the vessels on the South
Atlantic blockading squadron. On’ Jan-n
uary 15, 1865, Lieutenant Sampson was
executive officer of the Patapsco, and'I
he was ordered by the admiral of the?
fleet to enter Charleston harbor andl
remove or destroy all submarine mines‘
and torpedoes with which the city was:
protected from invasion. This was an:
exceedingly ditficvi— and dangerous:
task, as for several days the Confed-'
crates had devo.:-". all their time and-
labor to stocking the water with these.I
explosives in order to repel any ad-}
vance. '
As soon as the ironclad entered the
harbor she was met with a. rain of
bullets from the s'narpshooters on the
forts. Several of the men on the Pa-I
tapsco were struck. and Lieutenant.

ordered them below while he remained
a target for the rebel rifles. The men,
had scarcely obeyed the order when
there was a big explosion, and the iron-;
clad was hurled out of the water. She
had been blown up by a mine. Then
the vessel sank, and several of the
crew went down with her. Lieutenant
Sampson was blown about 100 feet, but‘
he was rescued With about twenty- five
of his men.
'he-was a delegate from the
Sampson, who was on the bridge, see-:~ 1
. From 11886, to 1890 he was superintel’h
dent of the Naval Academy, and in 1889
United
States to the International Maritime
Centerence held at Washington.
He was promoted to the rank of cap-
tain in 1839, and the next year he was
placed in command of the cruiser San
Francisco._ In July, 1892, he was in-
spector of ordnance at the navy yard.
Washington, and the next year he was
made chief of the bureau of ordnance.
He held that position until the iowa
was ready to be commissioned, when
he was detailed to that battleship.
When the fleet was sent down to Ha-
vana Captain Sampson was placed in
command, and raised his flag on the
cruiser New Pork. At the outbreak of
the war he wasmade acting rear ad—
miral by President McKinley.
. Socially, Admiral Sampson is a great
favorite. He is a slightly built man
and his'shoulders a trifle rounded. His
set deep beneath strongly marked
words. Nothing disturbs the evenness
of his temper; he is quick to grasp a
situation and resourceful in an-emer-
gency.
Admiral Sampson has been married
twice. He has four daughters by his
[first marriage. They are Mrs. Roy C.
Smith, wife of Lieutenant smith of the
United States navy; Mrs. Jackson, wife
2f Ensign B. H. Jackson, United States
navy, and Miss Nannie and Miss Olive
Sampson. His second wife was Miss
Burling of Canand’aigua, and there are
two sons by this marriage, Ralph, ten
years old, and Harold, eight'years old.

ACHIEVEMENT OF A BIG FEAT.
51 News Issue Printed on Paper Made from
Trees Foiled the Same Day.
The Stroudsbury, Pa., Daily Times
accomplished a surprising feet: a short
time ago by getting out an issue print:
ad on paper made that day from two
:rees chopped down the same morning.
this may at first seem an astounding
assertion, but the following description
from the paper itself will prove that
such avthing can be done:
“It was just on the hour of seven
)’clock when workmen of the Minsi
Pulp and Paper Mills walked to the
tree, which stood in all its freshness,
a. short distance from the works, with
sharp axes in their hands.
“Arrived at the spot they soon struck
a death 'blow to the poplar and in a
few minutes the tree lay. prostrate on
the ground. Horses were at hand and
they were fastened to the trunk and
bore it to the mill. Two trees were
necessary to secure'the amount of pa;-
per for our extra edition.

“Stripped of branches the trees?were
quickly cut’ into two-foot lengths and
the bark- ‘taken off. Then the wood
was throvvn into the grinder and’in a
ilffy the‘ huge stones were crushing and
mashing it into pulp.
so the poplars were in shape to be
sucked up into the machine for refino
rig and extracting the water.
“This done, it was passed into the
"fourdrinerf and by the hour of nine
"o’clock the paper you now have in your
hand had come from the machinery,
clean and ready for use.
“A Times man was at hand with a
wagon, and into the vehicle was placed
the roll necessary for the edition, and
by 10.30 it was in the press room ready
to be printed upon.
. ‘The balance of the work necessary
to turn out the newspaper is tOO well

it to say that in eight and one-half

J uue days, when all the little conva-

about the open Windows, it chanced
that a horseback band of Bulfalo

to the shoW- mounds.

by spinal trouble, was discover-ed
