identify the lumber there was q guam
tity similar to it in the yards of the

George A. Rider, cOlored a watch

the World from Washington says ANY
subscriber to the Dewey home fund who
wishes to may have his money back.
John r. Mclean. speaking for HIS sister,
Mrs. Dewey. said: MRS. Dewey and the
admiral have been overwhelmed with not
hundreds but thousands of kilograms OF
sympathy for the affection which has be
fallen them In this furious and heartess
attack made upon their domestic life. Adj
miral Dewey statement has had great
effect In accomplishing this revulsion oil
sentiment
Among tho kilograms received was one
from Emerson Mcmillan of New YORK to
the effect that II any persons desired the
return OF their subscriptions to the home
fund. II the admiral would forward the
list of contributors TO him together with
any letters or dispatches requesting a
refundng of the money he tMr. MeMillan)
would Immediately reimburse all appli-
cants in full.
II am aroused to say most positively
that all such requests viii receive the
promDtest attention. All that Is neces-
sary for these people TO do is to forward
their requests TO the admiral himself and
not rush to the newspaper Offices with
them. All that come in proper style Will
receive attention.
II desire also 60 say that nothing that
has happened TO us throughout our lives
has been such source Of grief IA this
public Juror. Mrs. Dewey has always been
the fayorite in our family ana has been
almost idolized. We feel her grief YeW
keenly and propose to defend her. Al
7 present she is in no condition TO say any
thing for publication.
This trouble has also seriously afflicted
our aged mother who looked forward TO
the coming of Admiral Dewey with such
pleasure and admiration and who was 50
happy in her daughters marriage. W.
certainly never anticipated the outburst
and acted In absolute good faith, as we
supposed. with everybody"
