is THE ADMIRAL TO MARRY?
His Name Linked With That of a
Wealthy Washington Widow.

Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
Washington, Oct 1.-Admiral Dewey,
who was never known to capltulate to
anyone but a woman, is said now by the
gossips to have surrendered to the charms
of widow who has made her home i'll
Washington for years. Since his arrival
in New York it has been currently ru-
mored here that the Admiral is engaged
to Mrs. Hazen, the widow of General
Hazen, IA sister of John II. Mclean, and
daughter of Mrs. Washington Mclean,
at whose residence the Admiral will
stay while in Washington this week.
Several months ago the Admiral was
reported to have been engaged to anoth-
err lady in Washington, but this report
seemed to have no basis of fact. Mrs.
Hazen, TO whom he is now said to be
engaged, is striking widow, wealthy
and one of the society leaders of the
city. Her sister three years ago, who
was then Mrs. Bugher, and very wealthy,
married Capt. Nieoll Ludlow, of the
Navy 1t was at one time reported Mr.
Herbert, when Secretary of the Navy,
was engaged to her. Mrs. Bugher was
not only rich, but very attractive per-
sonally. Captain Ludlow was an officer
of striking appearance and, like Admiral
Dewey, widower.
As Admiral of the Navy Dewey holds
position scarcely second to any ex-
cept the President. 1t is one, too, of
leisure and assured service always in
Washington, with little more to do than
make an annual report to the Secretary
At least that is all Admiral Porter did.
With "a fine house presented to him by
the people of the country and salary
approaching $4,000, Admiral Dewey
may be regarded as catch" and q

he is either married or society abandons
hope of getting him married.

treated in the simplest way possible. al

A STATEMENT.

With Reference to Certain Beef.

With Reference to Certain Beef.
To the Editor: In your issue of the
10Th inst. there appears certain article
ON bad beef" which, without further
explanation, does us great injustice.
knowing that no harm was intended
by the publication, and believing thar
you acted in good faith in giving the
matter publicity, we ask to be heard III
reply.
The beef offered for sale was butchered
Monday at 10 n. I'M. and forwarded 10
Ralelgh Through the country. 1t arrived
there after Mr.. Crawford Ito whom IL
was directed had closed up for the
might, and so had to be kept ON the
wagon till morning. We are not sur
prised tHrat the meat should have sorTed
within that time-lying in bulk all might
after having been hauled about thirty
five miles, exposed to the sun.
The COW was apparently i'm perfect
health when fed Monday nrorndng, and
ate heartily, as usual. A few hours
later, when her condition was discovered.
we thought it best to butcher her, be-
ing advised by parties whose experience
we Thought warranted us in needing
their suggestions that the meat was NOT
less fit for food Our local butcher otfes-
ed four cents per pound here, which Is
as high as he generally pays. Having
other produce which we wished to place
On the Raleigh market, we thought we
could well afford to haul it for one dol
lar per hundred, and so refused the Of
fer, and sent it to Raleigh
We would be as far as any one from
Offering spoiled meat on the market, and
commend the authorities for their action
in cy3iidemning it, after it had so'ired.
Neither do we blame amy one for giving
the matter publicity, not knowing but
that it was willfnl attempt to impose
ON the public and endanger the health
of the people. Such, however, was moi
our purpose.
The above is a true statement, and we
hope will set the matter at rest.
Yours very truly.

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. james
Reed. one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, w. Va,
struck his leg against cake of ice
in such manner as to bruise it Sc
yerely 1t became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and half gallons OF whiskey in
bathing it. but nothing gave any relief
until. he began using Chambarilin's
Pain Balm. This brought almost a
complete cure in a weeks time and
he believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to be
amputated. Pain Balm is unequaled
