johnson Wedding Today.

| Cuurt Of the District OF Columbia, through
| Assistant Clerk NJ. A. Clancy The appif-
| cation for the license was made by Lieut.
| Harry H. Caldwell. United States navy,
| Admiral Dewey's secretary, in person. The
| information furnished the clerk. and set
! forth in the license, is that Admiral Dewey
| is sixty-one years of age. and his bride
| elect forty-three; that both are citiz ms Of
| the United States. and that in the case Of
| each party there was one former marriage.
To these statements Lieut.. Caldwell was
required to make oath.
| Admiral Dewey, with his usual forehand-
edness, has his marriage license few days
| in advance of the ceremony. When the
| word got around today that the license had
been secured there was a fresh demand on
all sides for more news on the subject. A
very large part of this most reasonable de-
sire was expressed by inquiries of Mrs
Hazen at her residence and of Admiral
Dewey at his home. No information was
given out at either of these sources. Mrs.
Hazen excused herself to all Corners. either
| reporters or visitors, by the plea of very
] busy The truth is that she has an unu-
sually large mail just at present and in the
| fnterfms between her shopping expeditions
| this morning and the visits of Admiral
Dewey, she has given her entire day to IT.
Because Admiral Dewey got the license
today does not necessarily indicate that the
marriage will take place even this week
The statement is made by who ought
| to know that the great event will take
place-on the 14th or 18th. either next Tues
day or Wednesday. as by that time Mr..
John r. Mclean and family will be back in
Washington Inasmuch as Cardinal Gibbons
will be away for possibly a week longer. it is
not thought that he " sized TO re- bl,t
that Archbishop Keane has been the choice
| of the bride from the start and the settle
ment of the date is entirely conditional
upon his early return. That the marriage
Will take place at Mrs. McLean's residence
and that only a family party. with a few
intimate friends and, naturally, several
! nigh officials, will be the witnesses of It,
are now foregone conclusions.
Admiral Dewey accompanied Mrs Hazen
Mrs. Mclean and Mrs. Ludlow back to this
| city yesterday. The party arrived at the
Mclean mansion a short time after the de-
| parture from K street of the fire depart
ment, and they were able to get into the
house without increasing the excitement
which he'd previously enlivened that neigh
borhood. Friends of Mrs. Hazen say that
the interesting interviews of which such
ccpious reports appeared in some of the
New York dailies during her stay in the
metropolis were not suggested by any ma
terial for them furnished by this now
much-observed lady. In other words, the
deHghful talks were pure inventions.
This morning Mrs. Hazen, attired in deep
mourning, such as she has worn lately
went out driving with her mother.
Mrs. Don Cameron and her daughter
