HE CANCELS ENGAGEMENTS.
His Physician, Will Remain
Quietly ut Home.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Admiral Dew
ey, on the advice of his physician, has
cancelled the dates for his visits to
Philadelphia and Atlanta and will ac-
cept no more invitations of this sort be-
fore next spring. The following official
statement on the subject was made at
his Office here Saturday:
"Acting on the advice of his physicians
Admiral Dewey finds that 1t will be neces.
sary to cancel the engagements he has en-
tered into to visit certain cities and TO de-
cline all invitations for the present. He
finds that the mental strain incident Ia
such visits is seriously affecting his
health"
1t is understood that the admiral's
health is not really bad. If he can be
relieved from the constant strain OF
successive receptions there is little
doubt that he will soon be himself again.
AT present he is worn out from his re-
cent experiences. Besides, he is need
ed here TO aid the president in the
Philippine commission in the task of
deciding questions that are continual
ly arising in the far eastern possessions
of the United States.
The Dewey house committee, which
had in charge the purchase of home
for the admiral from the moneys re-
ceiyed by popular subscription, has Sc
lected the house 1747 Rhode Island av-
enue, Northwest, known as the Fitch
house. The price of the house was $780,.
900, but as the committee has only S4S,.
600 on hand, Mr.. Fitch, the owner, con.
tributed that amount necessary to
bring the sum up to $4,000. The So
licitor of the treasury will examine the
title to-day and the purchase will be
made and the property turned over on
Tuesday. 1t is a matter of interest to
note that the house selected finally was
that which Admiral Dewey indicated
as his choice before the committee be.
gan its work of examining more than
60 houses.

A LIFE OF CRIME.
Four Murders and Many RObberies
Are Confessed by u Convict In
u Minnesota Prison.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 23.-A spe.
cial to the Times from Saltwater. Mimi,
says: j. c. Mcbride, convict at the
prison, received from jackson county
in December last to serve three years
and five months for an assault, has
made u remarkable confession, show
ing him to be one of the most high
handed murderers in the country. His
confession was made to Warden VOL
fer in letter written October s, and in
it he related the murder of two officers,
Joseph Grant and John McNott, at
Geneva, ILL.,, August 20, 1886; the muir
der of Julia Buckmore, at Geneva; a
post office robbery and the murder Of
the marshal of 0ssawatomie, Kan; the
burglary of hardware store and the
shooting of policeman at Guide Rock,
Neb., and many burglaries and high
way robberies. If the story is true he
has been veritable terror.
Speaking of the circumstances of the
murder of Grant and McNott at Geneva,
he says:
81 shot Joseph Grant and John McNott.
Three Of US, two pals and myself were In
the act OF committing burglary at Geneva
at about one o'clock in the morning August
20, 1886 We entered the house Of an under
taker for the purpose Of robbery about two
blocks south OF the courthouse and one
west My two pals were arrested by these
officers. I walked some distance away
from the place of robbery to the courthouse
and secreted myself behind a maple tree
when the officers came along with my two
pals shot them, killing officer McNott in
stantly and shot Officer Grant, who lived
until the next day.
81 also murdered a woman by the name
of Julia Buckmore, in the outskirts and
east side of Geneva, about two weeks before
murdered the officers. My object was rob-
berry | cut her throat with razor because
she recognized me while In the act of com.
mitting the robbery. l carried the body
to a hen coop and set fire to the house The
body was found in the hen coop the next
morning"
Mcbride says that his right name is
George Bullock, and that he was born
of respectable parents, who have re-
sided in Geneva since 1871. He has
served two prison terms in Illinois ant
one in Nebraska. After receiving the
letter and calling Mcbride into his Of
flee for more explicit story of his
crimes, Warden Wolfer communicated
with the authorities at Geneva ant
elsewhere. He learned that the crimes
were committed, but has received nc
additional information. Mcbride is nov
SO years old, and says he has folloYTJ
the life of a robber and murderer since
he was ten years old. While relating
the story of his crime he gave all tn,
details in matter-of-fact manner, ant
evidently felt relieved. He claims tc
have confessed because his conscienc,
bothered him, and says he is anxious
to be punished for his many crimes
In the murder of the officers at Geneva
he says he had two pals, one of then
Harry Ester, later arrested and sen
fenced to Joliet penitentiary for Il
years, The confession covers four larg,
manuscript pages.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 23.-A spe'
cial to the Times from Great Falls, Mont,
says: Nine men perished in the recent
blizzard. Five bodies have been recov-
cred and it is probable this is not hall

of H. Herald, a sheep herder. The sheep
had eaten off his beard, clothing and
part of his boots. Several bands oi
sheep without herders have been wan

A Boys Dewey souyenir.

Souvenirs Of Dewey are to be had on every
hand, if not for the mere asking, at least
for the paying. But they are cold-hearted
souvenirs, that have no intimate connection
with the life Of the great admiral. If one
might get as memento something that had
been his own, that would be different mat
ter. A certain small boy has keen appre-
ciation of that fact. He feels that he has
been more highly favored than the average
mortal, for has he not even penetrated the
sacred precincts Of the Olympia and met the
aboard ship by his father. After his return
home the family observed that the little fel.
