THE DEWEYs ~ NEW YORK.
Amusing Incidents on Their Journey. Which
They Took Good-Naturedly.
Admiral and Mrs Dewey arrived in this city
yesterday evening and went to the Waldorf
Astoria. where they will probably stay two or
three days. Bridal couples provsrblally arouse
public interest aud the Dsweys were no eKcep-
ton on their trip They were stared at good
deal and cheered several times, but they ac-
ceptcd the interest Of the public In the spirit
that prompted 1t and went through a rather
trying day apparently serene and undls-
turbod.
The train in which they arrived was No. 30
OF tho Pennsylvania Railroad. which leaves
Washingto at II :45 and arrives In jersey City
at $40 +. NJ. Mr.. and Mrs. Dewey were In
the drawing-room ear Madeline. Few persons
we're in the car when IL left Washington. The
Deweys were not the objects OF any special
notice to their fellow passengers Tho Admiral
wore a silk hat. a cutaway coat Of Oxford mix
ture. striped trousers and tan gloves. MIS-.
Dewey wore black tailor made gown and a
black toque with feathers In II. On tho same
car with them were Secretary Ellhu Root and
Mrs Root. who came forward to offer their
CONGRATULATIONS. and after few momsnts' con-
versation loft the newly married pair to each
other.
At Philadelphia quite q crowd was waiting
for the train. the news OF the Deweyss coming
having preceded them. and as the train pulled
in at the station there was cheering. Several
people entered the car and bought seats. One
old fellow said to the porter:
Give me q seat as near Admiral Dewey as
you can. guess it's worth the extra fare to
ride to New York in the same car with him"
Several men approached the Admiral TO con-
graduate him. ard he accepted their conRratu-
lations pleasantly. None OF them attempted to
engage him In conversation. but they merely
shook hands with him and bowed to Mrs.
Dewey who smiled and bowed In acknowledge
ment. A few chairs away from the Deweys
sat q whitehaired old gentleman with hand
