It. the action of Mrs. George Dewey in
conveying to the admiraIs son the
home which her husband secured from
the people and decided to her, is likely
to be attributed to a flinching from the
criticism which the public has been
showcring freely upon the commander
of the United States navy for the past

his wife Admiral Dewey appears to
have made his first mistake since his

at least in so far that it is the first act
