declares that the greater part Of this

permanently or for some months at O
time and not from the transient visi-

to be looked upon now as regular
feature of the season and play an ap.

keepers find that Americans are gem
orally more liberal in their dealings
than English people of the same
wealth and position. The number Of
Americans residing permanently in
London is now estimated at 10000.
There are nearly as many more during
the average summer, although in years
of expositions or special events this
figure is much increased. A New
Yorker who recently returned from
London was impressed with the small
number OF his fellow citizens who
seemed to take up their residence
there. The number of New Yorkers
among the Americans who live per-
manently in London is said to be dis
proportionately small. The majority

ADMIRAL DEWEY
HOMEWARD BOUND.
Life Story Of the Hero Of Manila

WASHINGTON, ID. G. Special. .--Ad-
miral Dewey will arrive at New York
about October l. This information
was received by Secretary Long few
days ago. and was Immediately an
nounced by the officers of the Navy
Department.
Two or three days before Secretary
Long cabled Admiral Dewey at Hong
Kong asking him to state about when
he would arrive in the United States.
Admiral Dewey was informed that he
was to govern himself entirely by his
own wishes in the matter OF coming
home. The Department desired that
he feel no official restraint whatever.
The hero of Manila Bay was to take

his time, il he desired, and stop wher-
ever he wished. OF course the official
despatch to Admiral Dewey conveyed
this information very briefly, but
enough was said to let him feel that
he was to govern himself according to
his individual desires.
Soon after the Admiral cabled from
Hong Kong the announcement that he
would stop at various places on his
way home. Lieutenant Ward, of the
Navigation Bureau, then made the
following official announcement:
admiral Dewey telegraphs that he
will stop at various places on his way
to the United States and will reach
New York sbcut October J..
George Dewey-the man who in one
day made his bare name bigger than
all the titles that could be fastened to

United States are now awaiting with
feverish impatience lis strictly
American product.
For nearly ten generations, cover
ing the greater part Of three centuries,
the blood that feeds his cool, clear
brain has drawn its vigor from Yam
kee soil.
He is an American, and that is
enough. Just as his name needs no
official -fourishes, his fame hos no use
for heraldic tinsel; and the pedigree
cranks who profess to trace back his
lineage through English barons and
medieval kings even to the pagan
gods, will do we'll to carry their wares
TO cheaper market. George Dewey
Is no proper subject for tri6ing of this
sort.
The lively baby who was destined
some sixty years later to smash the,
bubble of SPANS pride was born ut
Montpelies, VT, December 26, 1887.
veHis father was Julius Y. Dewey, q
physician Of Montpelier, and one of
the founders Of the National Life In
surance Company. He was fine,
dignified specimen Of an old school
New England gentleman, very scrup-
ulous about small things. He was
one of the first communicates OF
Chr st Episcopal Church, in Mont
pelier.
George Dewey's mother died when
he wasfv years cid. His insepara-
BILE companion and closest confidante
from infancy was his sister, now Mrs.
Mary P. Greeley, of Montpelier.
The Affection between George and
his only sister, Mary, is touching.
They are Of about the same age-only
some eighteen months apart-and
were constant playmates during their
whole childhood. When George got

after teacher left the school in dis
gust. "That Dewey boy runs the
school" was the complaint of all of
them.
But the Dewey boy found his match
and his master at last in z. X. Pang-
born, his teacher, who is now promi-
nent in the politics Of New Jersey.
Mayor Pangborn once when George
was unusually bad licked him within
an inch Of his life. Says the Mayor,
describing the incident:

father that day. He looked at the
rawhide and at the cuts on his sons
face. Well, Mr.. Papgborn,' he said,
sternly, Il don't care what you've
done, if you've only made him mind
you.'"
And George Dewey did mind after
that. At meeting many years after

long time all Portsmouth wondered
which of the two navy officers would
be Miss Goodwin's choice. Dewey
won and Commander Rhind sailed on
a fine old ship, the Narrangansett,
just about the time that Susie Good
win and George Dewey were married,
October "a, 1867.
The great sorrow of George Dewey's
life came in 1872. While on his first
cruise on the European station as COM
mander of ship, the news came that
q son had been born to him. Five
days later Dewey received the saddest
cable message of his life. 1t told him
that his wife was dead. For q long
time Dewey was ,inconsolable. More
than one of his friends thought his
career had ended with the cablegram
announcing his wifes death.
His son, who is now in New York,
was named George Goodwin Dewey,
in honor of his father.

Hyde Of Bowdoin thought that be had dis
covered similar condition and pointed
it out In a magazine article While We
are not prepared to controvert the state
ments Of fact of the Governor of New
Hampshre, while very likely the facts
are on his SIDE so far as the disappearance
here and there OF church is concerned,
or the neglect Of some religious oere-
mony, his inference that the Chris
tian religion has declined is very likely g
be wrong. in deed we believe 1t is wrong.
To maintain churches and ministers some
thing beside religion is needed. Money
must be forthcoming. and we imagine
that the.disappearance Of the minister and
the meeting house in many rural commu-
nities is the result. not of the decline ei
religion so much as the decline In popu-
lation and wealth. 1t Is notorious fact
that for many years past there has been
a constant exodus from the country to
the oity, and that rural communities all
over New England have been declining
in wealth and population. Nothing
would be more natural than that along
with that exodus should go u decline Of
such evidences Of religion as require
numbers OF wealth to create and sup

proof of the decline of Christianity
that there are villages where children
have been permitted to grow to manhood

there is no minister, marriages should

The Governors generalization is hasty,
and Is altogether too large for the premises
on which he rests It, 1t is analogous
to the generalizations one frequently
hears In regard to the seasons which are
usually founded on observations covering
q very limited area OF space or time.
