the Pennsylvania depot. Mrs. Dewey
had changed the gown in which she
was married for a black travelling suit
Less than a dozen people had congre-
gated at the depot, and there was no
demonstration as they passed hurriedly

| Secretary Root boarded the train just
before it pulled out and offered his con-
CALCULATIONS in person.
! Father Mackin, who performed the
marriage ceremony, when a lad of II
years, ran away from home with two
other boys and went to sea. His sea
career, however, was very short. He
said that he found that he was I'M

few months he was back at his books.
THE BRIDAL COUPLE AT NEW
| YORK.
| NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey arrived in New York to-
night from Washington. They were
driven direct from the West Twenty
| third-street ferry to the Waldorf As
toria, where they are the guests of Mr..
Boldt, the proprietor of that hotel The
Admiral and his bride did not register.
!
probably spend day or two at the
Waldorf. The Admiral and his wife
reached the West Twenty-third-s street
ferry at 6:30 p. M They were driven
directly to the Waldorf, where they
spent the evening. They did not leave
the hotel during the evening.
The Admiral and Mrs Dewey got
away from Washington without at
tracing any attention They came to
New York in an ordinary chair car.
| Pas sengers who came over, Secretary
Root among them, said that the Ad-
miral and his bride were not generally
recognized by the other passengers un-
til after Philadelphia had been passed.
Then there was a general desire on the
part of everybody on the train to see
them. People bought chair car tickets
for the purpose of being in the same
car, and others who did not get chair
car tickets walked through the car for
the purpose of seeing the bride and
groom.
At the suggestion of one of the pas
sengers a. collection was taken up in
the other cars to buy flowers to pre-
sent to the couple but a conference
with the conductor showed them that
no flowers could be obtained until Jer-
sey City was reached and the project
was abandoned, and the money re-
funded.
| A group of the passengers got around
! the Admiral, however, when he left his
seat for a few moments near Elizab beth,
and silk handkerchief with an Ameri-
can flag embroidered on it and a hand
full Of cigars were presented to him. He
accepted them in a good-natured way.
One old man grasped his hand and said
to him:
Admiral, I saw you on the Olympia,
and in the parade. ! want to say to
you, may the Lord bles YOU
The Admiral saw the mans kind
feelings, and was visibly affected He
said: That's good. 1 thank you. I'll
go and tell my wife,
Shortly before Jersey City was
reached Secretary Root, who had in
tentionally avoided the bride and groom
during the trip, knowing that they
would appreciate being together, went
over and spoke to them
There was a considerable crowd in
the Jersey City Station when the train
rolled in, waiting to see the Admiral
and Mrs. Dewey. The boats were COM
ing over with commuters, and there
were more people outside the fence
that separated the train shed from the
general waiting-room. AS the train
stopped the Admiral rose from his seat
and started with Mrs. Dewey out of
the car. The crowd was waiting for
them down on the platform, and as

cheered. The men in the crowd all
DOTTED their hats, and the Admiral lifted
his. AS he walked down the platform
additional cheers and individual greet
| ings were given. The Admiral looked
the bridegroom. His face was flushed,
and he smiled back at the crowd and
answered their greetings by lifting his
hat again and again. Mrs. Dewey
also bowed and smiled.
The stationmaster escorted the couple
from the train to the Twenty third
street boat. The crowd gave a final
cheer as the Admiral and his wife went
down the gangplank to the upper deck
of the ferryboat, and many of them
rushed aboard for a moment to get a
better look at them.
The Admiral took Mrs. Dewey around
| the deck, outside the big cabin, and
stood with her out in front of the pilot
house, hoping to be alone. The crowd
of passengers followed. They gathered
in a semi circle about the newly
welded couple, and at times cheered
the Admiral and his wife.
/ A newspaper man apologized for in
truding, and remarked that this was an
Embarrassing situation To this the Ad-
miral assented. He saidsthat he would
rather be excused, under the circum-
stances, from telling what his plans for
the honeymoon were. After five min
utes in this semi-circle of curious peo
pile the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey walked
| into the cabin, which was almost empty,
and sat together down on one side of
the benches, away back in the stern
of the boat. They were alone only for
a few moments, however. Then one by
one persons began to walk around the
cabin and to take seats opposite. In
five minutes all the seats were crowded.
The Admiral appeared slightly embar-
raised, but he talked on unconcernedly
to Mrs. Dewey, trying evidently to ap-
pear unconscious of the curiosity of the
naturally.
| When the boat reached the Twenty
third street ferry house the crowd hur-
ried to the street in front to see the
distinguished passengers walk to their
carriage, and to give them another
cheer. A big policeman, learning who
was coming, opened a wide pathway
through the crowd.
