the army and navy. writes Washing
ton correspondent Of the Pittsburgh

Significant in itself. it is fascinating
and important as having for long been
the companion of the most notable and
popular hero of the late war with Spain.
Admiral Dewey, having been for many
years a patron o. this establishment,
left his sword there to have its handle
gilded, and the tAilors were allowed TO
please their patrons by exhibiting 1t TO
them. Many are the offers that have
been made for its purchase. In the
presence Of the writer n day or two
ago one gentleman offered $500 for IT.
The makers of uniforms, etc, laughed
and remarked tha, the person would
have TO raise the ante several times
to he up TO the figures OF other would
be buyers OF the famous weapon. A
gentleman who overheard the offer Of
$500 declared himself for $1,000, and
still another who was present counted
out 81 200 in the long green. OF course
the proprietor laughed al these absurd
Offers. as il to say there was not money
enough in the world to purchase from
Admiral Dewey this simple weapon

out all the days Of anxiety and OF VIC
tory during that passage Of his life
which gave him within a few short
hours whatever qualification there was
in the consciousness that he had won
undying fame.
