WHAT HE WANTS.

He Preferred That q House Already Built
Re Purchased. Suggested the Location,
and Said He Desired a Dining Room That
Would Seat Eighteen Persons Only.
WARRINGTON. Oct 6-Admral Dewey mot by
appointment this morning at the Navy Depart-
ment the members OF the committee In charge
OF the Dewey Home fund and expressed to
them his wishes in regard to the residence to
be presented to him. The session lasted only
twenty minutes. and In that time all arrange.
ments for securing the Admiral's future home
had been made. The Admiral said he wanted
his house as soon AZ possible. and
therefore preferred that some existing
dwelling should be purchased. instead
OF going through all the tedium OF arranging
plans. buying a location and waiting for the
construction OF a new residence. The mem.
bers OF the committee present were Perry y.
Heath. First Assistant Postmaster ieneralt
Frank A. Vanderbilt. Assistant Secretary ot tho
Treasury: Charles H. Allen, Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Navy: Adjutant- General Henry y.
Corbin. and Ellis H. Roberts. Treasurer OF the
United States.
After the Admiral had made known his de-
sire to have a residence already competed. he
said that he wanted It modest enough to have
the price Of the house and all its furnishings
included within the limit of the fund. which
now am cunts to moro than $4,000 He astons
! shed the committee by his familiarity with
the northwest section OF the city. He seemed
to know every fine dwelling house in that
part OF town. He said he wanted his
house to be situated west OF Sixteenth
street, and was particular that II should have
| a southern exposure He said that he would
be modest IN his entertai nments and desired
that the dining room be large enough to seat
eighteen persons only. Three or four bed
chambers would he plenty. he said The
Admiral knew exactly what he wanted and
simpifed the work Of the committee. much to
| the relief OF the members.
He said he was partic ularly Rratifled over the
! large number of subscriptions to the fund.
| more than $1,000 persons having contributed.
| He said that he would not have accepted tho
| gift II 1t came from few rich men. but he con-
| sdered it as much gift OF the people as tho
| eword which he received at the Capitol ON
Tuesday,
! The Admiral will leave here on Monday for
Vermont. He will return to Washington some
| time in the following week. and in the interim
the committee wiz secure rroposas from peo-
pl. who have suitable houses to soil When
| the Admiral returns the committee will lay
| before him a list OF about hall dozen houses.
| to be selected from all those submitted No
verbal offers will be received. The Admiral
! told the committee that while his house was
being selected he would live at the Everett
| apartment house. This 10 the hotel where

This romance nourlshes much too well to

All means. honorable and otherwise. are
