The Admiral Will Marry Mrs.
w. b. Hazen,
Widow of the Former Chief of
Signal Service.
| SISTER OF M'LEAN.
He Announces the Engagement
Himself.
No Date Mentioned For Mar
riage to Take Place.

Washington, Oct. S1.-Admira1 Dewey
has announced to some of his intimate
friends the fact of his engagement to
Mrs. w B. Hazen of this city. Mrs.
Hazen is the widow of General Hazen,
formerly chief signal officer of the
army, who died about ten years ago,
and is a sister of John r. Mclean,
Democratic candidate for governor OF
Ohio. Mrs. Hazen has no children and
since her husbands death has made her
home with her mother.
She is a woman of large means, about
40 years of age, and popular in the
best social circles of Washington. The
date for the wedding has not been
fixed.
The news of the admiraI's engage
when the admiral announced the fact
to a few of his friends. Later in the
evening he visited the Lafayette square
theater and while there also cOnmun1-
Gated tsse news to some of his near
friends and to Secretary Long, who oc-
cupied one of the boxes. While the
date of the wedding is not definitely
known the understanding is that it
will take place some time during No
Eember.
Rumor has connected the names of
the admiral and Mrs. Hazen for some
time, but little attention was paid to
the matter. It was at the house of
Mrs. Mclean, the mother of Mrs. HaZ-
en-, that the admiral stopped when he
came to Washington after his return
from Manila. Previous to his depar-
ture to take charge of the Asiatic
squadron two years ago he had been a
visitor at the house The admirafs
first wife died in 1872. She was the
daughter of a former governor of Yer
mont. One child from that marriage, a
son, is now living in New York. Gen
eral Hazen, the former husband of Mrs.
Hazen, died on the 10th of January
1887, AKA a son of their union died last
year.
Mrs. Hazen has been a social favor
lite in Washington. She is possessed of
an attractive personality Of most grace
ful manners and has brilliant mind.
A delegation of citizens of Tennes-
see We're among the first to learn of the
admiral's engagement. Headed by Rep
resentative Gaines of that state they
called early in the evening to extend
an invitation to the admiral to be pres
ent in Nashville on the occasion of the
return home of the First Tennessee
regiment from Manila. Admiral Dewey
urged the pressure of official duties. in
Guiding the meeting of the Philippine
commission, which would prevent his
accepting the invitation. There were
other matters also, he said, which inter-
vened to prevent his coming and he
finally admitted that he had just Sc
cured the promise of his intended bride
to become Mrs. Dewey.
The admiral was warmly congratu-
lated by the members of the delegation.
Admiral Dewey took possession of his
new home yesterday. The last of the
furniture was arranged in the new
house and the admiraIs trunks were
brought up from the apartments he has
been occupying at the Everett.

Bright'S Disease
CAN BE CURED.

It is declared by our NJ DIS that
Bright's disease can not be cured, and
this is the general belief OF the public
But Prof. Samuels, by his new methods.
has proven otherwise and this fact can
be easily ascertained by a little inquiry
from those who have suffered and
taken the professors treatment While
some doctors give relief and add few
days to the patients life Prof Sam
uels cures and adds many years.
No harm can possibly come from the
professors treatment, hence if you are
suffering from that dread disease, do
not lose time and endanger your life
and lessen your chances of recovery by
fooling with NJ. DIS. who admit they
can not cure you, but call upon Prof.
Samuels, who will cure you in from two
to four months.
Prof Samuels treats the disease
through the eyes, and if the patient is
not too far gone-practicalIy dead
when he comes for treatment, he will
surely cure him, as he has cured others
suffering from the same disease. He
has cured hundreds. right here in To-
peka, who suffered from dropsy,
spasms, fits, eczema, etc, by his new
and wonderful method of treatment,
which method is entirely his own and
known only to himself.
For a limited time and preparatory to
the professors departure for Kansas
City, he will treat cases of BRIGHT
DISEASE, to be paid when cured. This
is your chance for NEW LIFE.
Don't be prejudicedt Don't be gov
erned by the advice of the NJ DIS, who
are full of prejudice and are wroth at
the professor because he cures where
they fail, but consult your own good,
common sense and call on him at his
office, sos Kansas avenue, over the
Hub.

Cleveland. O-,Oct. Ex-senator Hanna

said, would be full dinner buckets, pro-

Regarding Ohio, he said: 81 am just

TALLY Republican year. The Demo-
Gratis sought to make votes by lodging
state issues and taking up national is
sues for their state platform. They
could not have made a more serious
mistake. These issues affect the wei
fare of everyone. They appeal to their
judgment and reason and this being the
case the verdict OF Ohio voters will be

BOSTON A CANDIDATE
The Promoters of the New Ball League
Completing Their Circuit

Boston, Oct. 31.-The promoters of the
new American Association have not
given up all hope of securing Boston for
their circuit.
Local parties have looked over
Charles River Cycling park and claim
that a good ball field can be laid out.
The park is fully as close to the bus
mess part of the city as the South End
grounds, located in Cambridge, just
across the Charles river.
One argument used by the promoters
is the fact that the Players League
club took in $4,000 at the home games
in 1890, and the Association club in 81
did nearly as we'll The idea now seems
to be to get Boston and Philadelphia
in the east and any other two cities
that come handy.
Manager Irwin, of the Washington
club, is in this city on a short visit.
He says Washington will surely play
Sunday ball next season at home, and
he feels quite confident that the new
association will start. He thinks Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Chicago can cas-
lily support two clubs with nOn-conflict-
ing dates, and says the magnates should
welcome the new member.
The Charles River park, where the
association is trying to locate a club,
was built five or six years ago but has
turned out to be failure. Massive
grand stands and bleacherS that can
accommodate 10000 are in good repair,
and for So, 600 or $4,000 the place could

Both Men Are Said to Be In
Prime Condition.

New York, Oct. 31.-Prominent local
sporting men have expressed the fol-
lowing opinions as to the probable re-
suit of next Friday nights champion
ship battle between Jeffries and Shar-
key:
George Considine-I like Sharkey's
chances, and expect him to win.
Mike Padden-There is nothing to it.
Sharkey will win in three rounds.
Honest John Kelly-Jeffries is my
selection as the winner.
Johnny White-Sharkey ought to win
in II rounds.
Sam Austin-I expect to see Sharkey
win in a canter.
Charley White-The fight will be a
great one, and must say cannot pick
Bob Smith-Jeffries beat Sharkey in
Frisco, and think he viii do the trick
again.
Jimmy Colville-sharkey will win in
a few rounds.
Jack Adler-Jeffries ought to beat
Sharlley in less than Is rounds.
Joe Vendig-I seem to like Sharkey's
on him to win.
Teddy Foley-Jeffries will be the vic
tor before the fight has gone many
rounds.
Jim Kennedy don't care about
naming a winner in this fight, as I
think the men are too evenly matched.
Dave Ryan-JefTrieS should carry on
the big end of the purse.
Jack Dougherty-Sharkey will surely
defeat Jeffries.
Billy Roche-Jeffries for mine. He
will win surely.
Alec Smith-Jeffries will beat Shar-
key as easily as he won from Fitzsim-
mons.
Johnny Considine-I am betting on
Sharkey, as I believe he will win.
Martin DOwling-I select Jeffries as
the winner. and will bet my money on
his chances.
The battle is exciting unusual in
terest in turf circles. Here are some
opinions:
Pittsburg PhiI.-If Jeffries goes into
the ring sound and fit and untouched
with any deep-seated disease-and
there is rumor that he isl think he
will win. I would be more satisfied to
bet on him after had seen him strip
ped and at his work.
Jockey ClaWSOn-I saw the fight be-
tween Jeffries and Sharkey in Frisco,
and although 1 reckon I know more
about riding than prize fighting,
think 1t was fair fight, and the audi
ence didtoO. If Sharkey comes into
the ring this time as fit as he was then
it looks like it ought to be his fight.
GOttlieb Walbaum - effries will
have to have an iron arm to lick the
sailor man. Sharkey is young and as
strong as a bull, and I will bet $500 to
$1,000 that he takes that Jeffries into
camp.

RIDING A BRONCHO.

Ny first experience with bronchos is as

believe / was quite a horseman; in fact, /
caught myself thinking L could even ride
broncho, a Spanish word meaning rough as

One day 1 was out on cattle ranch and
was invited to ride out and look at a par
ticular bunch of COWS. The rancher told one
of the cowboys to saddle old Blanco for me.
I went TO the corral and took a look at old
Blanco as he wandered idly around the pen.
He was a rough, shaggy pony who had, 10
Judge from the assortment of brands on
his hide, been owned by nearly every "out-
fit in the country. Blanco was in lively
hurror this morning and ii was necessary TO
rope" him before he could be saddled.
When the saddle was flung on his back he
dashed out with his heels. and when the
cowboy placed his foot against the pony's
side and began to draw up the cinches
Blanco rose like shell from a mortar and
went ricochetting around the corral, throw
ing up cloud of dust whenever he struck
the ground, the stirrups meeting over his
back at every jump. The cowboy told me
not to mind a thing like this; that old

didn't mind. L forgot TO say that / was
''teEderfoot'' in all that that expressive
word means, and that a tenderfoot IS the
lawful butt of any and all cowboy jokes,
which makes his first days in the West days
of much learning and some pain. But to
resume. i led old Rlanco out of the corral
and prepared to mount. / took the rens

cantle in my right and with my left foot
in the stirrup i started to pull myself up
just as one climbs over a fence. But the
moment Blanco felt my weight on the stir
rup he started off on a run. Every one on
the ranch had assembled at the corral.
though why they should be so interested did
not appear TO then. When Blanco
started off they began TO shout advice to
me, and when l had got into the saddle

Blanco stopped. Then he dropped his head

But he only rose short distance: then the
