THE DEWEYs' VISIT.
What Our Contemporaries Are Say
ing-Canard Disproved.

From the New York Press.
We are heartily glad the canard
that our great Admirals illness was due
TO artillery punch" has received its
quietus. 1t would have been a terrible
thing, in the event of another war with
a Power like Spain, to have it suspected
in foreign naval strategy boards that our
officers were thus vulnerable. Everybody
remembers the seductive effect of the
Mexican beverage "pulque" upon our dip
lomatic representative of less than two
decades ago, and only two or three such
inciednts would suffice to suggest to acute
foreigners the kind of projectile that
would disarm battleship. A Colts auto
matte gun would be constructed which
would gently deposit hand grenade load
ed with pulque or artillery punch in the
coming tower another volley would sweep
the bridge, and each gun crew would be
assaulted in the like murderous fashion.
Can't Mahan would have to add another
chapter in the next edition of his book on
The Influence of Sea Power mot Wa
ter Power Upon History" Our Admi-
rails career is doubtless. as true TO water
as his name is, and he is the most I'M
likely of all our naval officers 90 give the
enemy the chance of turning artillery
punch to account as punch artillery.

An Incident.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
Mrs. Dewey created favorable impress
sion in Savannah and the welcome given
her was equal to the reception rendered
the Admiral. All the crowds did not see
her, but those who were in range of the
carriage divided their attention between
the hero and his wife. The ladies were
particularly Interested In Mrs Dewey and
there were thousands Of Look at that
dress" 1t was tiresome to men who had

What Rev. Arthur Crane Had TO Say
of Vice in Charleston.

OF NfVt III tHsIEItsIUHs
Charleston, S. c., March 25.-At the
First Baptist Church this afternoon the
Rev. Arthur Crane preached a sensa-
tional sermon against vice generally, in
which he made an attack upon the city
authorities. and the way in which the
laws of the city are administered He
denounced the police department with es-
pecial bitterness and said that the po-
licemen made little or no effort to sup
press crime. The town was, he said, wide
open in the fullest sense of the term.
Mr.. Crane is a New jersey man, who
has very recently come to Charleston to
live 1t is probable that his sermon of
this afternoon will make his life here in
teresting to him for some time to come.

MISS DE MARANVILLE.
Ohio Pioneer Who Lived in One
House Ninety Years.

Astabula (O) Correspondence Chicago
Record.
The famous Western Reserve of Ohio
has produced many remarkable charac-
tiers, whose names are identified with the
history of the country. 1t therefore seems
almost Incredible that in such Gn en-
lightened section there could live, within
three miles of one of the greatest rail-
roads of the world, woman who during
her life of ninety years in one home never
rode on a railway train but once and was
never more than fifteen miles from home,
though she enjoyed the best of health
and physical ability. Such was the case
with Miss Sally de Meanwhile, a spin
ster, who died last month in the little
hamlet of Farnham, few miles east of
Ashtabula and in the same county, from
the confines of which the lady never
passed.
The death of Miss De Meanwhile has
brought to public notice a most remark
able family. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles de
Meanwhile immigrated 10 this country
from France early in the nineteenth CEN
fury and settled in the wild woods, where
is now the little town mentioned, which
takes its name from the postohice, its
only public place.
Lived Where They Were Born.
Here were born to shis pioneer couple
three sons and two daughters. all of
whom lived to ripe old age and, with one
exception, spent their entire lives on the
farm where they fffst saw TIE light, the
one exception being a son. md the only
one of the children who ever married. The
death of Sally. the second child. who was
born In 1911, reduced this strange family

auent remark among those who knew
them best that no unkind word was ever
known to have passed between them.
OId-time ways.
It was a characteristic Of the family to
love seclusion. and they were almost as
much isolated from the world as II they
had lived on an island in the sea AS a
result of this their manners and mode of
living were little changed from those OF
100 years ago, and visit to their home a
privilege that few enjoyed, was ike step
ping backward from the nineteenth CEN
fury into the eighteenth.
There was always an air of mystery
surrounding the family history of the De
Maranvilles. but their reserve and reti-
cence forbade the curious from prying
into It, and the family members never
vouchsafed any information on the sub
joct. II was known, however, that the
family had in its possession constantly
large sums OF money which was kept Sc
creted about the house. This knowledge
probably led TO an attempted robbery a
few years ago. for which crime one man

There was a big banquet made

but the guest of honor failed to show up.
Dewey-George Dewey-had been out on
the bay and was sick. The doctor said
he had acute indigestion, but we have an
