Washington, Nov. 22.--George Good
win Dewey, Admiral Dewey's only son,
IL, now the owner Of the residence pre-
scented to the admiral by the Ameri-
can people Papers were prepared and
signed yesterday by which Mrs. Mil
dred Mclean Dewey transfers all
rights and titles to the property. This
Is the property which on Monday Ad-
miral Dewey transferred to Mrs. Dewey.
In explanation Of the transaction
relative of the Dewey family made
this statement:
1.-The home will continue to be the
home Of the admiral and Mrs. Dewey
80 long as he may live. 1t may be
desirable now to say that 1t was the
wish of both the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey to provide for a proper success
sion to the property. The transfer
of yesterday completes the transac-
tion began on Monday, and is the car
rying out only Of the original inten-
tion of both the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey. The method Of transfer adopt
ed was considered the best and safest
that could have been adopted. 1t is
to be considered. naturally, that the
transfer was to be the act of Mrs.
Dewey, as well as Of the admiral. 1t
was her desire that she should release
any claim she might have to the prop
erty through her marriage to the adj
miral, and through the method adont-
ad m dicDuta can ever arise over the
DISPOSITION of the property"
There are many who assert, however,
that the general denunriation of the
original transfer is the cause of the
latest move

Nanticoke, Pa, Nov. 22.-The strike
Of miners in this town, which has been
on now for three months, became quite
serious yesterday, when mob of 800
women and some boys started riot
at one of the coller'es of the Sus-
quehanna Ccai company. At a mass
meeting of the women held Monday
night they resolved to turn out in a
body yesterday and if possible prevent
the pump runners and fire bosses from
going to work. They knew that If they
were successful in this they could
cripple the company, and thereby prob
ably bring the strike to an end.
The women. nearly all foreigners,
gathered on the streets early, with n
few men and many boys, and then
marched on breaker No. 7. They call
ed on men who were going to work
to come out, and finally attacked sew
eral with stones and red pepper.
Michael Corrigan, foreman. was be-
ing badly used when he shot in the
direction from which stone was
thrown, slightly wounding John Pol
lock, a 14-year-old boy. Then the
women fled. Corrigan was arrested.

to stop their nonsense. A meeting be-
tween strikers and bosses is being held

This elegant fur collarette shows
combination of seal and Alaska
sable. The yoke of seal is shaped
in a decided point at the back,
while the fur trimming in front is
applied with double pointed effect.
The high flaring collar of seal is
faced inside with sable, which
forms a rich background for the
face. The border broadens over
the shoulder and falls in long stole
ends almost to the knee, each end
being finished by beautiful tail.
The large mutf is of Alaska sable
to match.
Charming effects can be develop
ed by the same model in less eX-
pensive materials. A combination
of A.,trakhan or Persian lam b
cloth, which comes in splendid
imitation of the fur, with trimmings
of inexpensive fur, makes an at
tractive and stylish collarette, or
seal plush can be used for the body
of the collar and Astrakhan for the
trimming.
The stole may be cut off at the
waist line or half way down. the
pattern providing the correct shap-
ing.
The collar may fasten high under
the chin with two hooks, giving
extra protection to the throat, or
the top loop may be left open, if so
preferred.
TO make this collarette in the
medium size will require three
fourth yards of material twenty-five
inches wide for yoke and collar,
and one and onc-half yards forty
four inches wide for stole. tlounce
