bunch of violets completed the costume for
her second appearance today before a smil-
ing world, and which made her just as un-
like the typical bride as a wise woman
such she is would be expected to de-
wise. A wrap for possible changes of tenn
perature went ahead of the bride in the
safe care of her maid and the admiral 5
servant.
How They Reached the II. r.. Station.
About a dozen people were watching the
house as the couple came out and were
driven to the depot in Mrs. Ludlow's car
riage. They went down K street to Yer
mont avenue. southwark past the Arlington
and Lafayette Square, along Executive
avenue and thence on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to 9th street. As they turned into 9Th
street and the carriage stopped at the door
of the station on street a man with a
Kodak stepped forward ana took position
in which he could have secured a picture of
the couple The coachman saw the max
ing of these preparations and whipped up
his horses. driving back to Pennsylvania
avenue, and thence for half a square east
wardly. Then a consultation was held be-
tween the admiral and the coachman, and
the horses We're turned and the bride and
groom were driven back to the same door
of the station. There was no crowd there
and they aIighted and entered the depot as
them goodbye as they went into the wait
ing room.
They passed through the station to the
train. A few people noticed them as rather
a spruce couple who gave evidence of being
bride and groom, but evidently few, If
any one, knew who they were. As they en-
tered the gate to the train they Were not
required to show their tickets, as were the
parently was on the watch for them and
swung the gate wide open, while he and
other uniformed officials saluted the bride
and groom by raising their hats. They
passed on rapidly to the train, which was
to leave at II 40.
In the ParIOr Car.
Early this morning seats Nos - and II
in the car Nadine We're purchased for
New York. The greatest secrecy was MAIN
tanned and the first the officials of the rail-
road knew of the departure of the promi-
nent couple was from d reporter of The
Star. It was expected the private car of
Mr. John r. Mclean would be used, but
investigation disclosed the fact that the
car was not on the ennsylVania system.
The entered by Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey was entirely empty, with the eXcep-
ton Of a Star reporter, who hao the seat
just opposite the distinguished couple. The
admiral was as nervous as a groom or
twenty-one, and the bride baShfu and re-
firing. The admiral was most soicitous
for his new charge and asked If there was
anything in the world she wanted. She
replied in the negative.
The admiral called the porter and asked
if there would be a newsboy through the
car, declaring il an aside to his WIFE that
he had not had an opportunity TO read the
papers this morning. A neW5Dcy was I'M
mediately summoned and two New York
papers were purchased. Mrs. Dewey took
one and in a moment was absorbed. The
admiral found the reprodGct ton of his mar
riage licens. and smilingly showed it to his

later she called the admiral, who leaned
over to hear her say:
The morning papers all say that there is
now no doubt of Mr.. Mckinleys re-elec-
ton"
do they all say that?" queried the ad-
miral. Il guess they are about right"
There was silence a moment and then
Mrs Dewey called attention to the returns
from Ohio. The admiral listened as she
read extracts, but neither one made any
comments.
Just at this time Secretary Root came in.
Admiral Dewey rose to greet him and then
presented his bride. They shook hands
cordially and the admiral said:
You know, Mr. Secretary, we were mar
ried this morning. Yes, we were married
at 10 o'clock. We stole u march on them
ALL"
who ever heard Of a sailor marching?"
said Mrs. Dewey, facetiousiy. The remark
caused a general laugh, and the admiral
added: And the best of it all Is, no one
knows we are leaving on this train
The Star reporter looked out of the win
dow and smiled refiectively. Secretary
Root resumed his seat as the Admiral step
ped forward to greet Mr.. Lewis ]. Davis,
who was on a trip to New York, and had
the seat Immediately next.
Before the train left. the gateman APP
peared at the door Of the car with Col. F..
d. May, the oldest passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania system and a man eighty
seven years of age. He grasped the AL
miralS hand warmly, spoke enthuSiaStlcal-
ly of his Americanism, and said he was
going home to tell his grandchildren that
he had shaken Admiral Deweys hand
Just a moment before the train left Sec
rotary Root was passing and Admiral
Dewey inquired if there was any late news
from Manila. The Secretary gave him the
latest dispatches. one of which was to the
effect that Aguinaldo was retreating.
Good" said the admiral. and the train
pulled out with Admiral and Mrs. Dewey
in earnest conversation,
The duration OF Admiral and Mrs. Dew
evs honeymoon trip is not expected to
sidered at all surprising if they We're back
in Washington inside of the coming week,
and perhaps even sooner. Both, however,
have felt the strain of the excitement UNI
der which they have labored since the fact
of their intended marriage became public,
and both feel the necessity of taking good
rest which is easy for them to get at the
country place which they will reach to-
night.
1t is understood that Mr.. John r. Nc
Lean realizing Admiral Dewey's desire to
get married, urged his sister to so on with
the ceremony, although his affairs
would not permit him to get back to Wash
ington in time for it. When he was here
several weeks ago 1t was Mrs. HaZen who
went to the station to meet her brother
and drove up to his house with him.
