Sent by Many Friends.

Looking hale and hearty, ana as de-
bonair as ever. Admiral George Dewey
celebrated his SEVENTEEN birthday yes
terday. 1t was a quiet celebration.
The real observance Of Admiral Deweys
arrival at three-score and ten had taken
place December 10, when there was a big
dinner at the Admiral's residence. Presl-
dent Roosevelt wished TO attend the at
fair. which had been set originally for
yesterday. and to suit the Presidents
wishes the function was held a week
earlier.
The Admiral went 20 his Office IN the
Navy Department annex yesterday morn
ing and. TO quote mis- own words.~"tried
to earn my salary"
Afterward he attended a meeting OF
the Naval Relief Association. When ne
got back to his home he found there his
son. George Dewey. jr.. who came from
Chicago 70 spend the day with his dis
tingu.shed father They took. a long
walk together.
Scores of Kilograms.
The Admirars door bell was jingling all
kilograms from friends. congratulatlng
the hero Of Manila Bay. One Of the mes
sages was from Senator Chauncey NJ.
Depew. Ii said:
May you be as young at 100 as you
are at seventy" which reminded the Ad-
miral that Senator Depew Is older than
ne.
The Admiral explained that he was
really not observing the real anniversary.
My son came on to be with me. and
! am mighty glad he said. He is glad.
too. / stink. 10 be here" and the two
George Deweys smiled AZ each other.
I have no special message for the
American people. It is good 20 be alive
at seventy in such a country
Abstains from Tobacco.
Admiral Dewey said that his good
health was due in a measure 70 his alb
stinence from tobacco. He used IL for
short time when he was a midshipmau.
but only for the reason that smoking was
forbidden. and, therefore. seemed neces-
sary thing. When he left the Academy
he abandoned tobacco.
In speaking Of the navy. Admiral
Dewey said that there should be at least
three vice admirals. He added.
Need OF Vice AdmiraIs.
Naval powers Of first Importance have
more than one. Great Britain has a
score or more; so has Germany. But the
United States seems 20 have been always
shy Of admirals You know. we hesitated
quite a while before we created the grade
OF rear admiral"
1t came out yesterday that at the Ad-
miraIs birthday dinner. a week ago, this
toast was proposed by President Roose-
welt:
ITO the man who has done more for.
and reflected greater glory on, America
than any other man now living"
Among the birthday tributes received by
the Admiral was floral piece by his as
s0ciates Of the general board Of the navy.

son, a convict sent from Marion
county in September, 1906, under SEN
tence of five years for burglary and
larceny, escaped from the power
house at the penitentiary and has ap-
parently eluded his pursuers, as Off
GERS have SO far been unable to get
any trace of him.
Wilson is an expert machinist and
was taken to the power house, which
is outside Of the prison walls, to make
some repairs. In some way unknown
to the guards he is supposed to have
procured an old suit of overalls in the
boiler room and was thus able to get
by them without being observed. He
is about 80 years of age and is sup
posed to be an expert burglar and all
around yeggman. Warden Hall has
offered a reward for his capture and
return to the prison.
