Just within the shadows of the Math-
ewson House at Narragansett Pier,
overlooking the broad ocean stands
the cottage of Mrs. Washington r.
Mclean. where are domiciled Admiral
and Mrs. Dewey.
As is well known, Mrs. Mclean is the
mother of Mrs. Dewey and hither the
admiral and his wife came. week or
more ago, ostensibly to remain during
the period of the sitting OF the naval
board, of which the admiral is presi-
dent at Newport. Their stay may be
indefinitely prolonged, however. on ac-
count of Mrs. Dewey's health.
1t has been somewhat of a disap-
pointment TO the society folks at the
Fier that the Deweys have so persist
emily denied Themselves TO all callers
and absolutely refused all invitations
of any nature whatever
The Mclean cottage wears an air OF
seclusion despite the presence of the
distinguished visitors. Blinds are closed
end curtains closely drawn. The veran-
da screens shut out the view from
without.
Carriages with expectant callers roll
up to the door only to roll away with
disappointed occupants.
view OF these facts, the gossip
at the Pier have geirfed the impression
that Mrs. Dewey is inclined to look
askance upon Pier society.
MRS. DEWEY INDISPOSED.
IT is not generally known, however,
that Mrs. Deweys health is in some-
what serious conditions; that she is suf-
fering from incipient lung trouble,
which is aggravated by an obstinate
cough and that one OF her reasons for
coming to her mothers home by-the-
sea. was that absolute rest and entire
freedom from social life might there be
found.
In accordance with the wishes of her
daughter Mrs Mclean announced to
the social world at the Pier that Mrs.
Dewey wished to remain in complete
retirement during her stay. The ap-
parent indifference OF the Deweys to
the good people OF the Pier. therefore.
exists only in the imagination OF some
who have not understood the real sit
uation.
Mrs. Dewey is occasionally seen
driving with the admiral or perchance
meeting him at the boat landing, but
a step from the cottage, upon his re-
turn from his daily trips TO the naval
station at Newport.
THE ADMIRAL's DEVOTION.
The admirais chivalrous devotion to
his wife. his tender care and solicitude.
is matter of frequent comment
among the Pier contingent.
In an interview with the admiral yes
terday. in the library of the Mclean
cottage. the News representative
touched upon a subject which visibly
stirred his heart and brought back
afresh the memory Of Santiago. The
topic touched upon related TO Admiral
Philip. so recently passed away.
He was a most excellent man IN ev-
cry walk OF life" said Admiral Dewey,
"and "a Christian gentleman. In my

men. He was a fine character, brave.

in poetry and in history.
Furthermore he was not ashamed TO

referred feelingly to the time OF the

tatiye asked the admiraNs opinion On
the subject.
Smilingly he replied why, don't

/ read the papers just as you do. and
form my opinions accordingly
Admiral Dewey refused TO discuss
the political situations at all.
Referring TO Mis-. Dewey, the question
was asked If she was in any sense
woman of the advanced type.
mo: emphatically' replied the admi-
raj. MY wife Is a womans woman.
Yes; woman in every sense OF the
word. She has but one idea--to make
home happy"
Here the admiral expressed his anx-
iety regarding the health OF his wife
and feared that perhaps the bracing
atmosphere or the Pier was not exactly
what she needed.
DISTINGUISHED AND COURTLY.
In personal appearance Admiral Dew
ey is a distinguished, courtly and hand
some gentleman. His hair and mus
tache are deeply tinged with gray yet
his race is that of man in the prime
of life.
1t is a face at once striking and noble
and gives one the impression that be-
hind IL lies a mind at peace with itself
and all the world.
His voice Is strangely sympathetic
his manner most genial and KIND and
altogether one cam understand the Sc
cret OF his greatness. 1t Is revealed
in the strength of his characters in the
force of his personality.
'Tis said that DISTANCE lends en-
chantment ~ the view" The adage
does not apply. however in the case
OF Admiral Dewey. for his pictures
with which all are familiar. do not ade-
quately portray the character and the
soul which one reads in his face ana
hears in his voice.
To realize the physical and mental at
traction OF the great hero. one must
see him and listen TO his voice.

dolngs in New England II Is ANNOUNCED
that both he and Secretary Long VIII

Another Champion.

Madden. who at present has Gus
Rubin In charge, believes that at last
he has another champion under his
skilful management and there are
many sporting men In New York and
elsewhere who thoroughly agree with
him upon this point.
Madden deserves success. for he has
persistently endeavored TO bring out
Ruhlins strong points and TO get him
up among the leading heavyweights OF
the country.
Rubin is of giant build; he has a
very pleasant face. and is good con-
versationalist. He uses very little slang
and does not seem inclined to talk
fight. usually referring all such matters
TO Bill Madden.
Madden expects TO get on match
with Jeffries. but should the big boiler
maker refuse, Fitzsimmons will be
taken on.
Many people enormously believe that
Rubin is German. but such is not the
case. He is a native of Canton. O., and
his parents were born in Switzerland.
Jeffries has made the statement that
he will be on hand at the time specified
by Madden for posting forfeits.
