From the New York Sun.
Admiral and Mrs Dewey arrived in this
city yesterday evening and went to the
Waldorf-Astoria, where they viii probably
stay two or three days. Bridal couples pro
verbally arouse public interest and the
: Deweys were no exception on their trip.
They were stared at good deal and
cheered several times, but they accepted
The interest Of the public in the spirit that
prompted it ana went through a rather
trying day apparently serene and undis-
| turbed.
The train in which they arrived was No.
| 80 OF the Pennsylvania Railroad. which
leaves Washington at 12:45 and arrives in
Jersey City at $40 p. m. Mr.. and Mrs.
! Dewey were i'm the draWing-room car Mad
cline, Few persons were in the car when
1t left Washington The Deweys were MT
the objects of any special notice to their
/ fellow passengers. The Admiral wore a
SILK hat, a GETAWAY coat of oxford mix
ture, striped trousers and tan gloves. Mrs.
| Dewey wore a black tailor-made gown and
a black toque with feathers in it, On the
same car with them were Secretary Elihu
Root and Mrs. Root, who came forward
TO offer their congratulations and after
few moments conversation left the Eewly
married pair to each other.
AT Philadelphia quite a crowd was wait
ing for the train, the news of the Deweys'
coming 5aving preceded them, and as the
train pulled in at the station there was
cheering. Several people en- cred the car
and bought seats. One old fellow said 10
the porter:
give me a seat as near Admiral Dewey
as you can. 1 guess it's worth the extra
fare to ride to New York in the same car
with him"
Several men approached the Admiral to
congratulate him, and he accepted their
congratulations Pleasantly. None of them
attempted TO engage him in conversal lion,
4 but they merely shook hands with him
and bowed to Mrs Dewey VINO smiled and
bowed in acknowledgement A few
| chairs away from the Deweys sat a white
haired old gentleman with a handsome,
kindly face who seemed much interested
in the events. He called the porter and
/ asked:
Who are that lady and gentleman that
everybody is talking tor
"Sakesr said the colored man. Don
you know dem? OATS Admiral Dewey an
de lady he jes' married to-day"
BLESS my soul! Bless my SOUL" cried
the old gentleman. you don't tell me to
| think of my having come all the way
from Washington with Admiral Dewey and
not known ii. should so like 10 shake his
manu. Dut uOU want 10 disturb them.
! They look so happy together"
1t wasn't long before the old gentleman
/ got his chance, for the Admiral went up
| to the end of the car to get drink of wa
ter. The Old gentleman went after him,
stopped him on his return and said:
Admiral Dewey, sir; I've seen you on
the deck of the Olympia and in the Dewey
parade and at Washington and 1 want to
shake your hand and say God bless you
That's good; that's good" said the Ad-
miral shaking his hand heartily. IN go
and tell that 10 my wife"
Another man came up and got the Dewey
| autograph on the back of his Pullman
check which he exhibited with pride sub
sequently. A commercial traveller got the
Admiral 10 accept silk handkerchief silk
embroidered, with a portrait above the la
bel 1.-The Hero of Manila" Mrs. Dewey
appropriated the handkerchief as soon as
| her husband returned to his seat. The
train was on time at Jersey City where
| Trainmaster j. d. Kelly escorted Mr.. and
Mrs. Dewey to the Twenty-third street
| ferryboat st. Louis. On their way there
they passed through a crowd of commut-
ers who rushed across the Platform, Wild
! ly waving their shopping mementos, din
ner purchases and other bundles, and
cheering enthusiast cally. Several times
Admiral Dewey had 10 stop and bow in
response. a crowd of Schoolgirls followed
the couple upon the boat and forgot to get
off in time.
When the boat put off they rushed to
the after deck and gave a concerted and
accurate imitation of siren whistle on a
jamboree. AS the hard hearted ferrymen
declined to steam back so that they could
catch their train they made the most of
their temporary abduction and swarmed
upon the front deck where they stared fix
edly at the Dewey5 in manner calculated
to make that unassuming couple feel like
hippopotami or other strange and out
landish creatures hitherto unseen outside
| of captivity. This scrutiny didn't seem
to detract from their enjoyment of the
breeze, however, until it became too chilly,
when they went inside. A dozen reporters
were on the boat and one of them was
delegated 10 see the Admiral and ask him
If he had anything to say.
NO" said the Admiral, smiling, mot at
| present. You see, this isn't an occasion
for my saying anything"
In New York the Deweys drove TO the
| Waldorf-Astoria where they were admit
ted through Manager Boldts private en-
| trance. and the crowd waiting there to see
them missed them entirely. One woman
who was on guard at the entrance with
| a bunch of chrysanthemums for the bride,
| announced that she was going to wait I'M
| til she saw Them. She may be there yet
| The Deweys will probably go to Oakdale,
| L. l., from here.
