DEWEY'S FAMILY HISTORY
Being Compiled by Nephew and Will
Make 600 Pages

The Dewey family history is now be-
ing complied by William T. Dewey of
Montpelier, VT, in connection with l..
M. Dewey of the nedghborlng town of
Westfield. w. T. Dewey is a nephew Of
Admiral Dewey. 1t will make volume
of over 500 pages, and comprise some
1000 names. The victory of Manila has
caused great family demand for the
book, and it. is intended that 1t shall ap-
pear in the ensuing fall or winter. The
intermarriage of Dewey and Lyman
early In the settlement of this country
led to the application of the compiler to
George A. Lyman, editor Of the Amboy,
ILL.,, Journal, for certain favors, and,
printing the, letter, the Journal adds
these curious results of genealogical re-
search:
Thomas Dewey came from England In
1893 with the first settlers of Dorchester,
Mass, and was one Of the founders Of
Windsor, Conn. Richard Lyman came
from England In 1881, with the first set
tiers Of Charlestown and Roxbury,
Mass, and was one of the founders of
Hartford, Conn. Josiah Dewey, son Of
Thomas Dewey, married Hepzibah Ly-
man, granddaughter of Richard Lyman,
November 16, 1862. These two were
prominent figures In the early days. with
strongly marked charact and of wide
commanding influence. From these
has descended the large and influential
branch of the Dewey family in America
to which the great admiral belongs.
Admiral George Dewey is the eighth
in direct descent from Josiah Dewey and
Hepzibah Lyman; the twenty-fifth In
direct descent from Safer De Quincy.

himself lays no claim to such fortune.
He is not yachtsman, although a
member of the Royal Ulster Yacht club.
His challenge, which has awakened ma
rine sporting men in all parts Of the
world, is said to be due wholly to his
Interchangeable policy of keeping the
name Of Upton before the world. He
is a great believer in the advantage OF
advertising. Commercial men of esthetic
tastes will deprecate his tendency in that
direction as vulgar, while seeing their
business pass to his hands. But Sir
Thomas Upton takes his age as he finds
1t and appeals to popular curiosity in
the strongest way to move It.
The first popular advertising which he
ever attempted was to have two fat hogs
driven through the streets Of Glasgow.
They bore the label, "Lipton's Orphans"
Sir Thomas was a passenger three or
four years ago on an East Indian steam
er bound for Ceylon. While in the Red
sea the boat was disabled and 1t became
necessary to throw overheard part of
her cargo. Upton was an interested
spectator OF the preparations for light
ening the ship. He suddenly bolted the
scene and by a $25 decker with the chief
engineer secured stencil, paint brush
and pot of black paint. Then, to the
establishment Of the captain and passen-
gers, he cheerfully labeled each box and
