DEWEY AND rHE NAVY.
Humor That the Admiral win ouie,-
iy Visit Washington Before Fr1-

0dys
Washington. Sept. PA rumor was
afioat yesterday that Admiral Dewey
would come to Washington quietly"
tonight. Secretary of the Navy Long
said he knew nothing concerning the
report that Admiral Dewey would
come to Washington and report to the
navy department before the celebration
in New York took place. He expressed
the belief that he would do nothing of
the kind. Upon receiving the cablegram
announcing the arrival of the Olympia
with Admiral Dewey on board Secre-
tary Long sent the following message:
Admiral George Dewey, Sandy
Hook: The department. is happy to
learn Of your safe arrival and extends
to you and your officers and crew most
cordial welcome home.
JOHN d. LONG"
Certain naval officers are beginning
to wonder how Secretary Long will re-
ceive Admiral Dewey upon his arrival
in Washington.
An officer OF the navy department
who was quite intimate with the admi-
raj before he assumed command of the
Asiatic station, says that the parting
between Admiral Dewey and Secretary
4<uLb dl thd tliiie Was VI dHylIIuS Uut
pleasant nature. 1t appears that the
secretary was not in favor of sending
Dewey to the Asiatic station and the
navy department powers advocated de-
falling another officer. 1t is related,
however, that Dewey brought to bear
a good deal of political influence on the
president, including Governor Roose-
Welt, who was then assistant secretary
of the navy, and succeeded in securing
the desired detail. When the admiral
and secretary parted company the lat
ter Is reported to have said something
to the effect that 1t was one thing to get
an assignment through political infiu-f
ence and another thing to retain 1T.
It is believed, however, in view of Adj
miral Dewey's brilliant achievement at
Manila the secretary has long ago for
gotten the unpleasant incident related.
Naval officials are discussing to
considerable length the nature of Ad-
miral Dewey's future assignment. They
predict If he is placed at the head of
a naval advisory board that he will
suffer the same fate that Admiral Por-
ter did and that he will not hold the
position two months before there will
be unlimited dissatisfaction among the
various bureau chiefs, who are exceed
ingly Jealous of the power vested in
them. The problem of what to do with
Admiral Dewey is therefore a very
grave one, but will have to be solved
before great while.

of age married her teacher, NJ. Barili.
Her second marriage was with my
father, Salvatore Patti, a member of
one of the first families in Catania,
Sicily. 1t has enormously and constant
ly been stated that my father was a
professional singer by tradition and en-
Vironment. AS a matter of fact, his
connection with the profession of music
was quite accidental; the possession of
a very beautiful voice drew him, through
the persuasion of his friends, to the

To Relieve Choking.

raising the left arm as high as you
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than be being thumped in the
back" explained a well known resident
is we'll that every one should know 1t,
for often a person gets choked while
eating when there is no one near to
thump him Very frequently at meals
and when they are at play children get
choked while eating, and the customary
manner of relieving them is to slap
them sharply In the back. The effect
of this is to set the obstruction free, so
that it can be swallowed. The same
thing can be brought about by raising
the left hand of the child as high as
possible, and the relief comes much
more rapidly."-Washing Star.

A LACK OF HARMONY
Is Apparent Among @. & A People
Regarding the Sale of the Road.

Chicago, Feb. CT. B. Blackstone, pres
ident of the Chicago and Alton road, has
issued circular to the stockholders which
is likely to create a sensation in railroad
and financial circles. The circular will
accompany that sent out by J. J. Mitch
ell, submitting to the vote of the stock
a syndicate at S175 a share for the COM
mon and $500 for the preferred stock.
While no positive advice is rendered the
stockholders in Mr.. Blackstone's circular,
no one can read it without being con-
WINGED that the writer is bitterly opposed
to the adoption of the proposition.
From the beginning, the negotiations,
in opposition to Mr.. BIaekstone's wishes
1t was Mr.. Blackstones veto that pre-
to the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
road. The present proposition may be
more favorable from several view points,
but it apparently still falls short of be-
ing what, in Mr.. Blackstone's opinion,
would be fair to all the stockholders of
the Chicago and Alton.
