Isl rHE ApMIRAL To MARRY?

Word comes from Washington that
Admiral Dewey, who was never known
to capitulate to anyone but woman,
IS said now by the gossip to have sur
rendered to the charms of widow who
has made her home in Washington for
years. Since his arrival in New York
it has been currently rumOred here
the admiral is engaged to Mrs. Ha-
zen the widow of General Hazen, Sis
ter OF John r.. Mclean, and daughter
of Mrs. Washington Mclean, at whose
residence the admiral will stay while
in Washington this week.
It was to be expected that the Ad
mirals name would be linked with that
of some lady, and the report now cir
culated In Washington possibly may
have some foundation The fact Is re-
garded as a signpOst that the admiral
has refused all other invitations Of
private individuals to be their guest
during his stay here and accepted Mrs.
McLeans IL is said the admiral and
Mrs. Mclean are old friends, but inti-
mates Of the admiral never heard Of
any great friendship between the two
until it was assigned as the reason for
the admiral's making his quarters at
the Mclean house on X street.
Several months ago the admiral was
reported TO have been engaged TO an
other lady in Washington, but this re-
port seemed to have no basis of fact.
Mrs. Hazen, to whom he is now said to
/ be engaged, is a striking widow,
wealthy, and one of the society lead
ers OF the city. Her sister three years
ago, who was then Mrs. Bugher, and
very wealthy, married Captain Nicoll
| Ludlow OF the navy. 10 was at one
time reported Mr. Herbert. when sec
rotary of the navy, was engaged TO her
Mrs Bugher was not only rich, but
very attractive personally Captain
Ludlow was an officer of striking APP
pearance and. like Admiral Dewey, a
widower
During his residence here the adj
I miral was closely identified with tho
exclusive circles of society, but not
until after the battle of Manila bay
were rumors started that he might
marry again The admiral has been a
widower now for twenty years.
AS admiral Of the navy Dewey. holds
a position scarcely second to any, ex-
cept the president 1t is one, too, oi
]
I Washington, with little more to dc
than make an annual report to the sec.
i retary. At least that is all Admira
| Porter did. With fine house present
ed TO him by the people OF the country
and a salary approaching $4,000, Ad
miral Dewey may be regarded as q
catch" and a man that perhaps few
widows, no matter how eligible, woulC
decline. He is not quite 62 years of age
fine looking, vigorous and accustome,
to polite society.
lt is quite certain the admiral viii
not be let alone by matchmakers an,
gossips, and his naiae will be connect
ed in the matrimonial line with some
one until he is either married or so
ciety abandons hope OF getting hin
married.

Minneapolis. Sept. 10. Charles A.
Pillsbury, the well known miller, 9ieu
at his home in Minneapolis at . ocloch
yesterday afternoon.
On account of poor health Mr.. Plils,
bury went to Europe Dec. /, lS9S' anu
returned the middle of June. On ms
trip he journeyed as far as EGYPT anu
remained in Cairo several weeks. WINE
away he consulted with eminent phy,,
sicians in London, Paris, Vienna ana
Berlin. When he landed in New iork
he was of the opinion that his health
was much better, but before leaving
the metropolis he consulted with other
doctors. and since returning he has
been a patient of DIR. Porter OF e
York and DR.. w. A. Jones OF Minneap-
oils. The physicians agreed that ne
was suffering from e. trouble
caused by an enlargement OF the stom-
ach. which in turn was due TO over
work and insufficient physical exercise.
After reaching home again he gradual
ly improved and seemed to be in a TAR
way to totally recover his health. A
week ago he took a trip to Southern
Minnesota, but on his return he was
suffering with nausea. 1t was not un-
til Saturday morning that he developed
dangerous symptoms. He then felt SO
i'll that he concluded not TO go to his
Office, although since his return 0
his European trip he has been devoting
but about two hours a day to business.
He remained mt home all day Saturday
except a short trip down town In the
afternoon when he had a few errands
TO attend to.
During Saturday night he complained
of great pain, and Doctors Jones and
Bell were summoned. They remained
with him all the rest of the night and
yesterday, until a short time before
Mr.. Pillsbury died. While his case was
very serious, they hoped he might re-
over. He was conscious yesterday
and talked to his wife and friends who
were in the room. Afew moments be-
fore the end came he complained of
trouble in breathing. Then, with a
struggle, life passed from him.
Mr.. Pillsbury leaves besides his wife,
twin sons, who will reach their major
ity in January.

BoERs MEAN FIGHT.
And That is the Plain English OF

ma - W
London. Sept. 19.-The Morning Post
says: ''The Beers mean to fight. That
is the plain English of it,"
The Standard says: 'sThe Transvaal
note is unsatisfactory and, indeed, a
dangerous composition. 1t might be
going too far to say that the last'hope
of peace has vanished or that diploma
cy had said it's final word, but it Is
clear the leaders Of the Transvaal
have brought the country to the, very
brink Of a disaster, which the British
government has done it's best to
avoid"
The Daily Mail says: president
Kruger's defiance has terminated a
long period of unrest and uncertainty
In South Africa, for whatever may be
the issue of the present situation, one
thing is plain, that dualism in South
Africa will end forever"
The Daily Chronicle says: 'We re-.
greet that the Beers, by rejecting a fair
offer made, in fair language, have
taken a line given fresh point to the
argument of their enemies that Presi-
dent Kruger is a shifty and impracti-
cable politician, fit only to be spoken
to across a line of ~baycnets."
THESE extracts fairly represent press
opinion in London. All the papers
characterize the attempt TO represent
Conyngham Greene as suggesting the
Transvaals former proposals as mere
shifty prevarication.
The Pretoria correspondent Of the
Morning Post, in his summary OF the
T%ransvaal reply, says the Transvaal
~repudiates suzerainty and the right of
interference, and denies that either
State Attorney Smutz, of the govern
ment, would withdraw it's denial of a
right to interfere in the affairs of the
Transvaal. The correspondent adds:
''Thc reply anticipates a final alterna-
tive of a British note by saying that
further suggestions on the lines indi-
Gated are vain"
All of the dispatches from South
Africa this morning talk of the immi-
hence of hostilities and the prepare
ton for them. In Johannesburg IL
seems to be taken for granted that
the Orange Free State has approved
President Kruger's note and promised
active assistance in the event of war.
