Mrs. Dewey Responsible.

W. E. Curtis, the Chicago
Records Washington correspond
ent, sends his paper the following:
A few weeks ago a Washington
society paper published cartoon
which excited great deal of COM
ment because SO many people
recognized it as an accurate repre-
sentation Of painful fact. Ad-
miral Dewey was represented sit
ting upon a high stool. A woman
who bore a striking resemblance
to Mrs. Dewey had already re-
moved a laurel wreath from his
brow and had substituted FOOLS
cap. She had Invested him of his
sword and sash which lay on q
chair near by and had girded him
with spangled belt Of mock
diamonds and jingling bells. The
picture was passed around every
where and now everybody says
that it contained more truth than
humor. have from time to time
reported the gossip in Washington
society regarding the development
of Admiral Dewey, presidential
boom and therefore nobody here
is surprised that he should an
nounce himself candidate.
Everybody attributes his action
to the influence of Mrs. Dewey
who has never concealed her
ambition but on the contrary for
several months has spoken with
great freedom Of her confidence in
his success, if he decided to accept
a nomination. At first the admiral
condemned this idea in the most
emphatic manner and used such

has the newspaper field all to itself
at Leeds. In summing up local
affairs and outlining it's future
policy, Editor Carver says: But
we ask our patrons to excuse us
from mixing up in any dispute on
any subject, as the strain two years
ago over the whiskey fight was too
much, and we have never recover
ed from it. and our health compels
us to avoid all disputes of any kind

language as sailors are often
addicted to when he said that he
would never be entrapped into
making a blankety- blank, blank,
blank fool of himself by getting a
presidential bee in his bonnet; but
his protestations have gradually
grown weaker and less frequent
and finally before he started upon
his recent tour through the south,
he informed his friends that he in
tended to test public sentiment as
to his own candidacy, and would
then decide whether he would
allow his name to be used.
Some weeks ago scout in the
person of a genial young lieute-
nant was sent out to ascertain the
sentiments of Mr.. Whitney.
George German, Mr.. Hill and
other anti-Bryan Democrats con-
cerning Admiral Dewey as a
candidate and while everybody
gave him friendly "jolly," SO far
as can be learned no encourage
ment was offered, chiefly because
the matter was not regarded SER
iously. It is now believed, how
ever, that Mrs. Dewey herself in
duced the naval officer to make in
quiries among the nti-Bryan
leaders and that his report en-
couraged her to believe that the
advent of the admiral into the
political field as an open opponent
of Bryan would Immediately be
welcomed as a solution OF the
Democratic difficulty.
Both Admiral and Mrs. Dewey
have recently expressed resent
ment toward President Mckinley,
Mr.. Hanna and other Republican
leaders whom they hold RESPONSE
BILE in some manner for the scandal
about the house and other news
paper comments that have ap-
peared of late and only last week
Mrs. Dewey declared that she
would like to have the admiral
run for president simply to "knock
OUT Mckinley.

SPYING AS A PROFESSION.
A Lucrative business. But Freighted
With Peril.

tir'm The London NsiLy
The word spy" has an ugly sound. ow-
ing 10 its many unpleasant associations.
yet IN war times spies afford an army aid
which Is as valuable as 10 is highly re-
munerated- One OF the msXims for COM
manding officers. in book for their guild
ance written by Lord Wolseley is that a
successful spy must be petted and made
much Of. The management OF spies is
very difficult. out OF every ten employed
by the officer commanding a war district
he Is fortunate n one gives him truthful
information. II is a most important thing
that spies should not be known to each
other. Great care is generally taken by
officers that each spy shall imagine that
he is the only one who is employed
It is very necessary that all bona fide
spies should have about their persons
some means Of proving themselves really
to be what they represent themselves.
For this purpose coin Of certain date
q Bible Of certain edition. a Testament
with the seventh or fifteenth leaf torn out
are generally employed.
BY their means a spy who was employ ed
by an officer in a neutral State. making
his way 70 the headquarters Of the army
in the field. could thus at once make him
self known to the intelligence department
there. In some instances il is considered
that a password or sign should be en-
pIoyed, as il is less compromising. The
putting up OF the right hand 10 the right
ear and then to the left ear, or some such
gesture is sometimes employed.
The more extensive the ramihcatiOns Of
the system the better are the chances Of
escaping detection. II is very necessary that
officers of the intelligence department
should be provided with specially prepared
paper upon which letters can be writ
ten In ink that does not become visible
until IL has been subjected to some chem
ical process. IL is also necessary that a
letter in ordinary ink should invariably
be written on tie same paper containing
the information that it is required 10 keep
secret.
Although a spy runs the great risk OF
immediate death II he is detected. vet the
service is not without glory at times.
and il is certainly extremely lucrative.
