DEWEY DIDN'T LIKE IT.
Salesgirl Kissed Him For His Distip-
guished Father.

Cincinnati, Sept. 19.-Geo. G. Dewey,
son of the hero of Manila, today expert
enced what to him evidently was a
most embarrassing effect of his dis
tinguished fathers popularity, espec-
iaIy among the women of his country.
He received a most vigorous kiss from
a salesWOman in a large department
store in the presence. Of a great many
persons, mostly of the feminine gen

Young Dewey is a travelling salesman
for a New York dry goods house. While
displaying his wares in the store here,
preparatory to making what he hoped
would be a nice, big sale, one of the
buyers addressed him as Mr.. Dewey,
and referred to his father, the naval
hero. A warm m-hearted, enthusiastic,
patriotic saleswoman, learning that the
drummer was 50 closely related to the
admiral, rushed up to him and, before
he realized what she was about, threw
her arms around his neck, kissed him
and gushingly exclaimed:
You have the greatest daddy in the
world. This is for him.
Dewey, greatly embarrassed and
blushing to the roots of his hair, dash
ed out of the store, leaving his stock
of samples behind him. And the patri-
otic girl seemed surprised that he
should have fed from her sight so
soon.

NOTHING BUT WAR
Troops Being Hurried North
From Cape Town.

London, Sept. 19-There is an unveri-
fled rumor from Cape Town today that
the Beers have delivered another mes
sage to the British high commissioner
Sir Alfred Miner, more conciliatory
than yesterdays reply. The rumor'
however. fails to obtain much credence
and is not taken as in any way mitl-
eating the seriousness of the crisis
The Outlander press sees nothing but
war ahead and urges the Outlanders
to leave Immediately.
The London press is now inclined to
take the view that the recent action
on the part of the Beers does not make
war a certainty, though it does place
the British cabinet in a position where
it must take steps so aggressive that
war or utter, ignominous submission
will be the only alternatives remaining
to the .Transvaal and is by no means
persistent in urging the government to
move except in the matter of hurry1ng
troops to the probable scene OF action
The Pail Mall Gazette prints a dis
patch from Cape Town which says:
''The general impression is that the
Beers will at once take the initiative
and an attack is expected at any hoIr."
Troops continue to leave Cape Town
for Kimberly and the north and the
first class cruiser Terrible sailing from
Portsmouth for China today is reported
to have been ordered to go by way of
Cape Town instead of Suez.
Nothing is yet known regarding the
date of the expected cabinet council.
