ADMIRAL
 CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
Dewey Has Recovered Health and Is Hale Despite
 Seyenty-Fiye Years

Washington, D. C., Dec. 26:--Ad- miral George Dewey, hero Of the bat tie of Manila bay and the ranking officer of the United States Navy en- tered upon his seventy-hfth year to- day, having been born at Montpelier. Vt, December 26, 1S3T. There was no formal observance of the anniver- sary, though during the day there was an almost continuous stream of cal lers at the Dewey residence The Ad- hiirai remained at home with his fam fly and gave a cordial welcome to the many friends who called to gay their respects.
 Admiral Dewey has almost com. pletely recovered from the illness which confined him to his home some months ago and is now in good health considering his years and arduous service. It has been a matter of re- gret in society that the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey have been seen so sell dom in public during the past year or two. The hero of Manila bay is one of the most popular men in pub lie life, and his few appearances in the official season, particularly at the
 
 serve 10 accentuat; his popularity.
 The Dewey home is situated at the corner of Sixteenth and K streets, next door to tha house which was oc- -cupied by President Taft and family when he was secretary of war. The residence on Rhode Island avenue, which the country presented to the Admiral as a token Of it's affection. proved too small for him and he leased it to desirable tenants. His present home, although not pretenti- oCs. is more spacious and splendidly adaFtsd to the Admirafs personal needs. One of the most interesting rooms in the house is the large dining salon, the walls Of which are hung with spears, swords, shields and oth CT Filipino relics which were pre- sented to Admiral Dewey during his stay in the Philippines
 The so-called Blue room. where the Admiral and his wife received theu friends today, is another Interesting apartment in the Dewey home. The walls are covered with autographed photographs presented 10 the ad- miral by noi3bles In many parts Of the world Tn4re are also hundreds of the original pen and ink drawings which, after tho battle of Manila bay appeared in the daily newsr 1psrs and periodicals as cartoons of more or less humorous propensity.

MEMBER OF CAMP
Veterans Honor Miss Sally
Tompkins-Indorse Help for
Needy Women.

Recognizing the only woman who
held a commission as an officer in the
armies Of the Confederate States of
America, Lee Camp of Confederate
Veterans last night elected Captain
Sally A. Tompkins to membership.
There was not the customary refor-
ence to committee and balloting. but
the action taken was spontaneous and
unanimous.
Rev. james Z. Poindexter offered the
resolution, which will be spread upon
the records of the Camp 1t sets forth
how Miss Tompkins. still an honored
resident of Richmond. established and
maintained mainly at her own expense
the Robertson Hospital at Third and
Main Streets, where In 1900 wounded
and sick Confederate soldiers were
treated between July 1. 1851. and June
|. 1865. For this service she was given
a regular commission. as captain In the
Confederate forces.
Every body wanted TO second the
resolution at once, and In putting It,
Commander Gordon said that the only
wonder was that the camp had not
taken this action long ago.
Icfp Needy Women.
The camp voted $50 to show its sup
port of the movement started by tho
Virginia Division, United Daughters Of
Confederate women in country dis.
trlcts. The committee In charge Is
composed of Mrs. Norman V. Randolph.
Mrs. Samuel w. Williams and Mrs.
Ellis. the latter OF Lynchburg. The
Legislature will be asked for $4,000 to
help this work.
Through Mrs. Walter Christian. tho
treasurer. the entertainment commit
tee of the Daughters returned check
for $95.i6. which the camp had pro-
viouslY subscribed to make up deficit
in the accounts of entertaining the
recent convention. The advertising
committee of the City Council has set
tied. the deficiency.
The camp decided that It had moth
ing to do with the place of the next
Democratic National Convention. SO
filed away request from a Baltimore
veteran that IT indorsc that city as
the meeting place.
The use of the hall was given to tho
Daughters OF the Confedcracy for tho
evening of January 10 to distribute
for the next to tho last time the
