MISFORTUNES OF FAME.
Chicago Police Find Man Who Says
He is Dewey's Uncle.

Chicago, Aug. 26.-Harrison street po-
lice station was the home for a few
hours yesterday of an elderly man who
claims to be an uncle of Admiral Dewey
although he said his name was John
Tewey.
Tewey is 81. years old and is on his
way to Cleveland, Ohio, from Lincoln,
Neb. He arrived in Chicago early yes
terday morning, expecting to find a son
with whom he could spend the remain
ing few days of his life. In this, how
ever, he was disappointed and was
compelled to apply to the police for as
sistance.
Lieut.. See1y of the Harrison street
station has taken the old man in charge
and will send him to Cleveland this
morning, where he claims to have two
married daughters who are in wealthy
circumstances. The old man was liV-
ing for a number of years with
daughter in Lincoln, but her death sew
eraI weeks ago made it necessary for
him to seek a home elsewhere. he came
from st. Louis yesterday and proceed
ed to look for the address OF ms son,
who is railroad emplOye, in the d1rec-
tory. The book gave the residences OF
several persons of that name, but none
of them was his son. The police later
ascertained that a man who probably
was his son moved out of Chicago a
year or more ago without giving MS
address. Tewey said that he mad
not received letter from his son
for about five years. He says that
two other sons are with Admiral Dewey
in the capacity of first class engineers.
He explains that the difference between
his name and that of the famous ad-
miral is due to a change in the letters
to Americanize the cognomen. Grand
pa Tewey. as he is known at the police
station, is a bright old man and
pleasant conversatiOnahst.
Il am an Irish Catholic, he said to a
reporter. land thank God for it,
Mr.. Tewey spent two years in Chicago
shortly after the war. During that
time he kept the Belvidere hotel on the
north side. He speaks Familiarity of sew
eral people of national reputation and
SAYS that President McKinley's father
was an intimate friend of his when they
worked together in the iron works at

with railroad transportation and enough
money to see him through to Cleveland

FROM HARPER's WEEKLY
CAMP AT MONTAUK POINT.

Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the war to the average reader are
the camps which are now being formed,
composed of the troops that have seen
service. OF these camps, Camp Wykoff
is the most interesting and the largest.
The troops have seen active service
around Santiago are arriving there as
fast as the transports can bring them
from Cuba. The camp itself is situated
in an ideal spot for such a purpose. It
is at the eastern spot extremity of
Long Island, on point called MOntauk,
which breaks out into the Atlantic
Ocean, and for a distance of about ten
miles is a rolling country, entirely free
from trees and covered with turf. A
narrow strip of sand joins it to the
mainland
This entire point has been given over
to form camp for about 10000 men.
The hospital tents the detention camps
(where those suspected of contagious
fever are cOnf1ned), and the headquart-
erS of the different generals are all
marked with appropriate flags, so that
any one viewing the place from the
hills can point out the different parts
of the whole camp.
Here day by day men are arriving
from Cuba-men who have become ia
nous in the Santiago campaign-and
many of those we have been reading
about from day to day may be seen
riding or walking about in their war
stained uniforms.
One of the most picturesque and in
tereSting sights was the landing, few

teer cavalry, known as the Rough
Riders" and when they came through

who were gathered there was extraor-

The Illustration which we print this

THENATIONAL FLOWER
To Be Repeated at Garfield Park
Tuesday Evening, August 80.

One of the brightest and most artistic
amateur entertainments ever presented
in Topeka is the operatta, The Nation
al Flower" In fact it was such a pleas
ing surprise to all who attended that its
repetition on Tuesday night, August
80, has been agreed upon.
The theme is the contest of the diff
ferent flowers for national favor, and
abounds with bright situations, drills,
pleasing melodies and is interspersed
with a wholesome amount of genuine
fun. The drill of the daisies and weeds
by ten and twelve year old girls and
boys in costume is undoubtedly a piece
of beauty.
The managers of the affair have GER
tainly chosen good talent and have
placed the parts well, as there does not
appear to be a weak place from begin
ming to end.
Mrs: V. B. Mccoy and Mr.. Frank
Weightman, two of our local celebrities,
take part.
The programme has been shortened
and will begin promptly on time. The
entertainment closes with brilliant
tabIeaux with Miss Verna Jones repre-
senting Columbia.

TO HAVE A RED HAT.
Archbishop Ireland to Be Made
a Cardinal.

Washington, Aug 26.-Archbishop
Ireland is to be made a cardinal In
formation to that effect was received
from Rome today by members of the
Catholic university and while no au-
thoritative statement has yet been made
by the vatican, it is considered here the
honor will be conferred in the imme-
date future.
In this way Pope Leo XIII. intends
to express publicly his appreciation of
Archbishop Ireland's efforts for the pre-
vention of war between Spain and the
United States. The pope will make the
mark of his favor all the more emphat-
ic by personally comforting the red hat
on the archbishop.
It is the intention of the archbishop
to make a. visit to Rome for the purpose
of consulting with the pope about mat
tiers of church policy, and this occa-
sion probably will be chosen for the
ceremony, at which many American
prelates will make it a point to be pres
ent.
Archbishop Ireland was born in Ire
land in 1888, but early emigrated to this
country and settled with his parents in
the northwest. He was educated for the
priesthood in France and returned to
st. Paul to be confirmed.
The outbreak of the civil war found
the young priest filled with patriotic
chaplain of the Fifth Minnesota regi-
ment. In battle, however. he laid aside
the clerical garb whenever he could help
the men on the fighting line, and did
not resume it until the wounded and dy-
ing needed his ministratiOns
In COrinth, October 2, 1862, he was
credited almost with saving the day for
the northern army. His regiment was
in hard pressed place. If it fell back
all would be lost. Every man was
showing all the fight there was in him
Then the powder gave out.
But Ireland had seen the need and
met it in carrying sacks of cartridges
He went back and forth on the firing
line all through the fight, inspiring and
giving material aid to the men at the
same time.
Home from the war, he became rec
tor of st. PauPs cathedral, where he
showed such zeal that he soon became
known as the ''whirlwind of the prai-
ries,'' the ''providential prelate," and
the ''cOnsecrated blizzard" Colonial
ton was for a time his favOrite scheme,
and he was the means of bringing great
numbers of Irish immigrants into the
northwest.
In 1875 he was appointed a bishop
and assigned to the vicarate of Nebras-
ka, but this assignment was changed,
and he was made cOadjutor to the bish-
op of St. Paul Nine years later he
succeeded to the see of St Paul. and in
1888 he was elevated to the archbish-
opric.

SHORTER HOURS.
Santa Fe Reduces the Time at the
Railroad Shops.

An order was posted at the general
shops of the Santa Fe in this city and a
similar order at all division shops on
the Santa F'e road proper, to the effect
that until further notice the employees
of the shops would not work on Satur-
days. Under the present time schedule
shop employees have worked up to noon
on Saturdays, and the new or
der cuts the working time five
hours a week. The fact that
the entire rolling stock of the road
is now in excellent repair, and that the
grain traffic is not as heavy as was
expected it would be by this time, is
given as the reasons for the reduction in
time.

WANT FREE CANAL.
Moveme nt to Abolish Tolls on the
WelIand

Chicago. Aug. 26.-The first active step
in securing the abolition of the Welland
canal tolls has been taken by the trans
portation committee of the board of
trade. At a meeting of that committee
it was determined to ask the directory to
name a committee of three to confer with
the boards of trade at Minneapolis Du-
luth and other northwestern points for
concerted action before the AngIo-Ameri-
can conference at Quebec. 1t is expected
a strong delega ton will be sent to Que
bee to work for an ''open door, to the
lakes. The transportation committee took
this action after hearing from a delega-
ton of marine men.
