New YORK, Oct. S.-The functions
and the receptions that have figured
so prominently in the daily life of
Adm, Dewey since his arrival of sandy
Hook last Tuesday morning have
proven almost too much for his
strength. The admiral has been un-
der such perpetual physical and
nervous strain that he is now almost
exhausted.
Adm. Dewey rose early Sunday
morning, however, sending for n cup
of tea at o'clock. Shortly after, he
ordered light breakfast, which was
sent TO his apartments, and which he
ate alone. When the admiral haG fin

He l. confined to some one field and be-

aye a great opportunity to present in a
mighty fascinating manner the character of
the frank, opcn-hcarted and impulsive
| lrishman, whose sole passion and life was
to fight and make love.
The book has always been mentioned as
one Of the classics of literature. Mr. TheO-
| dore Burt Sayre who dramatized it, has
followed Mr. Levers story in the main. In
some points. though. he has deemed it
| necessary to introduce a lot of original sit
uaJionS and scenes of his own in order to
produce the proper dramatic effect. The
play Is in four acts. The two first acts
take place in the SWEETEST social circles of
Dublin and give a correct glimpse of real
Irish high life, which Is something which
| has never been portrayed on the stage be-
| fore During the last two acts the action
takes over to the sunny shore of Spain
which England invaded during the Napo-
leonic wars. The peculiar merit which is
claimed for Mr. Sayre's dramatza ton is a
love story of unusual interest. The motif
and locale of the play also furnish abund-
ant opportunity for comedy of the right
sort.
The play deals with the adventures of

Insect Pests in Lapland,
From Through Arctic Lapland.''


AS though the mosquitoes were not suffi-
Gent plague, we passed into a belt that was
peopled by still more insect horrors Drag
on flies in millions rustled through the air,
though these did not worry US. But they
were accompanied by loathiy great horse
flies as thick as a finger, and monstrous
bluebottles which were maddening in their
attentions. The bluebottle one could hear
and avoid; but the attack of the horsefy
was stealthy. The beast would fly I'D with
out sound and alight like Il piece of this
tledown, and one would know nothing of
the matter until one was bitten. They could
go through coat as easily as one could
push IN a pm; even corduroy riding breech-
es could not impede them; and on the place
of each bite there arose in the next half
hour great Wen, which one wanted to
tear out bodily by the finger nails That
part of Lapland would be a lepidopterist' s
heaven; but for any ordinarily constituted
man it came very near to being the other
place 1t must be remembered, too that if
we two foreigners suffered badly from this
plague of flies, our carriers were ten times
more tOrmented.
A man with his hands free can thrash
about, and to a certain extent beat the in
sects from him, unless he perishes with the
eXertlon; but to carrier impeded with a
pack this form of athleticism is necessarily
limited. Our Laps put calico coWls over
their heads, which covered all except their
faces, and their faces and hands they
smeared with a liberal ointment of tar and
yet they suffered horribly. Still for all that
they made no complaint. Johann would
give out his great outlaws of laughter when
things We're at their worst, and the others
would chime in. merrily enough They
might be miserable, but they saw no req
son TO make themselves unhappy about 1t.
