ADMIRAL DEWEY GOES FISHING,
Thoroughly Enjoys a Days sport
With Rod and Reel.

PALM BEACH. Fla. Jan. 12.-Admirai
Dewey handled a rod and reel Satur-
day. and some said it was the first
time in his life he had enjoyed that
pleasure.
He pronounced the day one OF the most
enjoyable he had ever spent. Several Of
the veteran disciples of Izsak Walton
here were determined that the Admiral
should know something Of the fascination
they found in lshIng. and he was fairly
carried Oft in the launch OF Mr. Joseph
Jefferson for the trip to the inlet who re
Lake Worth meets the sea. eight miles to
the north.
The wind was a bit puffy. and. after
the party started our they had misgivings
about getting a good catch but after
reaching the anchorage there was little
time lost in speculation. All hands were
kept busy and by actual count they had
fifty sheeDshead and one snapper. The
Admiral became very enthusiastic after
pulling in his first fish. and although this
was his first experience OF the kind. said
Captain Glow, he did remarkably well
and caught his share
Mr.. Jefferson provided luncheon aboard
for his guests. who found Admiral Dewey
a most delightful companion and cOnsid-
cred the day one long to be remembered

LIST DECLARED INCOMPLETE.
Chicago Insists That city Has More
Than Two Fashionable Families.


CHICAGO. Jan. 3.-Chicago society wore
a smile Of amusement after it had read
the pronunciamento Of the Rev. DR..
Charles Wilbur ID. Nichols. Of Nichols
Conn, the clergyman who undertook the
task Of listing the persons VINO might be
properly considered TO be In fashionable
society in the United States
Most foolish perfectly absurd"
silly beyond words" were a few of the
comments made by some of the rromi-
nent women Of the city. 1t seems to
them that there ought 90 De more. than
two families in Chicago society without
detracting in the least from the recog-
nized claims of Mr. and Mrs. Potter Pal
mcr and Mr.. and Mrs y. c. Cnatfeld-
Taylor. who composed Dr. Nichols list,
for Chicago
II was conceded generally that the Rev
Dr. Nichols might have some knowledge
Of New York society. but his information
regarding the rest OF the country is re-
garded as being meagre, to say the least.
Westerners look at things from a diff
ferent standpoint than that taken by the
Eastern clergyman. and deny that wealth
is the key that opens the door to society
in Chicago.
This is held TO be true to a higher dc
gree in this city than any other city in
the United States.

Mrs Parkhurst long to make another

CONTEST FOR
TWO OFFICES.
Fierce Faction Fight We'll
On in Washington.
SENATOR AGAINST EX-SENATOR
United states Marshal for the Stnte
and Collector for the Port ut Pu-
May Give One to Each SIde-Ncw
District Attorney Probable.

The Republican party in Washington is
involved in a fierce fight for control OF
Federal patronage. Senator Foster aud
former Senator John L. Wilson are the
leaders OF the factions. Mr.. Wilson has
been in Washington for several days and
is working tooth and nail against Sen
ator Foster. who defeated Mr.. Wilson in
the contest for Senator in 1893.
Marshal and Collectors.
The fight at present centres on two ap-
pCintments. he United States Marshal
for the State and the Collector Of the
Port at Puget Sound. The present
marshal is a strong wilson man named
Ide. He has an excellent record and is
endorsed for reappoinulent by the At
tornev General He is supported by Rep
resentatives Cushmau and Jones, not be-
cause they are friendly to Wilson. but be-
cause Ide is very popular throughout the
State.
Mr Charles b. Hopkins, Of Spokane is a
candidate for the place and mas the
strong support Of Senator Foster. 1t is
believed that Senator Foster has induced
the President TO appoint Mr.. Hopkins to
succeed Mr.. Ide.
Another Place for Mr.. Ide.
The Wilsonites. however. anticipating
possible deseat Of Mr. Ide for reappoint-
ment. are paving the way for him to Sc
cure the billet Of collector at Puget
Sound. The present incumbent Of that
Office is not a candidate for reappoint-
ment. Mr.. Henry B. Crocker was prom
inently mentioned il connection with the
office but charges were fled against him
and il is reported that his chances Of
getting the place have rapidly dwindled
Mr.. Foster viii probably bring forward
another candidate for the position Of col
Hector Of the port. but the President is
ssid TO be anxious TO make a compromise
and may give the Wilsonites the adj
vantage in this place by naming Mr. Ide
fer the position
May BE Another change.
