Dewey,s Golden sword.

The sword presented to Admiral Dewey
at Washington Tuesday, except its steel
blade and the body metal of its scabbard,
is entirely of 22-carat gold. On the POM
mel is carved the name of the cruiser
Olympia, which was Dewey's flagship at
Manila, and the zodiacal sign for Deem
Der, in which month Dewey was born.
Circing these is a closely-woven wreath OF
oak leaves, long employed to indicate and
adorn rank. Below these the pommel is
embraced by gold collar, on the front of
which are the arms of the United States,
with the blue field of the shield in enamel.
Below them are the arms of Vermont,
Dewey's native state, with the motto
"Freedom and UNITY" and the colors of
the shield in enamel. The plain part of
the gold collar is decorated with stars, and
a graceful finish is given to it by narrow
band of oak leaves. The sword blade is
damascened with the inscription: 1.-THE
gift of the nation to Rear-Admiral George
Dewey, u. S. N, in memory of the victory
at Manila Bay, May l, 1893" The sword
grip is covered with fine sharkskin, bound
with and inlaid with gold stars. The
guard is an eagle terminating in claw,
which grasps the top in which the blade is
set; the eagles outstretched wings form
the guard proper.
The scabbard is of thin steel, damas-
cened in gold, with sprays of delicate sea
plant, the rosmarinus, typical of fidelity,
constancy and remembrance. These sprays
are interlaced, stars fill the inner spaces,
Dolphins the outer spaces. Sprays of oak
leaves and acorns secure the rings and
trappings of the scabbard; above these on
the front of the scabbard is raised mon
ogram in diamonds entwining the letters
&c. D." and Immediately under them are
the letters gu. S. NJ" surrounded by
sprays of the sea plant. The ferrule, OF
lower end of the scabbard, terminates in
entwined gold dolphins The sword box
is of white oak inlaid with black velvet
and at the centre of the cover has a gold
shield surmounted by an eagle and in
scribed with single star and the words
"Rear- Admiral George Dewey, U. S. N"

Dewey's Washington House.
He Likes the Idea and Discusses Plans
With the Committee.


A meeting of the Dewey fund committee
was held in Washington last Friday with
Admiral Dewey for consultation about the
house to be bought for him in Washing
ton. The Admiral talked freely on .the
subject. He said, first, in answer to in
quires, that it was out of the question to
wait for house to be built. IL he was to
have a house at all he wanted it at once.
mo friend" he said, twas ever authorized
to intimate or indicate that the proposition
to purchase and present to me house in
Washington was not desired by me.
was delighted at the idea when / first
heard of it and it has grown on me until it
is one of the most precious things in my
memory. l shall receive this home in the
same spirit, and believe that it comes to
me with the same motive and practically
the same hand, as the sword presented to
me by the President from Congress and
representing the affection and esteem of
the people,"
When the question Of location came up
the Admiral said he wanted house west
of 10th street, and not very far out to the
north or northwest and would like to get,
If possible, within half dozen squares of
the navy department. This would also
bring him within easy walking distance of
the Metropolitan and Army and Navy
clubs, and the White House.
When he asked how much the fund
aggregated this morning and was in
formed by Treasurer Roberts that it was
something over $50, 900, the Admiral said:
"Now, do not want snowy house, and |
do not want to have to take from my in
come money with which to furnish the
house. l would rather have more mod
est house and have it furnished.
"How much do you think should be ex-
pended for furniture and fittings?" he was
asked. Someone replied that probably
| $4,000 would meet his expectations, and
he exclaimed: eyes, that is ample;
presume that much should be expended.
! That would leave little over $4,000 with
which to purchase the home"
The Admiral inquired, in discussing four
or five places offered for sale, about the
dimensions of the dining room, the man
ner in which the house was planned in re-
gard to the drawing room and Railways,
and said that while he did not intend to put
on any style or make any great show in
the way of entertainments, he wanted and
would be expected to modestly entertain
his friends and public men. He said he
would like dining room that would COM
fortably seat Is or 20 persons. One was
suggested that would seat 40 persons, and
the Admiral smiled and observed:
"That is beyond my capacity; that is
| on too grand a SCALE"
