WHEN DEWEY MET BANCROFT
Little Incident That illustrates the
Natures of Two Great and Well.
Loved Americans.

In the late seventies of the last
century Admiral Dewey-then Com
mander Dewey-was stationed at
Washington, where he was serving his
term of shore duty as naval secretary
of the lighthouse board.
With the passage of time, he says in
his Autobiography" / had lost none
of q Vermonter's fondness for good
horsefesh, and riding was my fayOrite
exercise. On my afternoon "COnstM-
tionals" I often came up with fine
looking, white-bearded old gentleman
who always wore German cap,
Sometimes as / overlook him l would
draw rein, and we would pass the
time of day. Then, as l liked to go
faster than he did, would draw ahead
of him, always receiving the politest
bow in exchange for my own,
He struck me as a most delightful
person, and 1 conceived a real liking
for him. One day 1 asked the watch
man at the gate of the Soldiers Home
who this gentleman was. He ans
wered, Ellis name is Bancroft, and he
is from Berlin" From that knew
that he was the historian and former
Secretary of the Navy, and that he
must have acquired liking for Ger
man caps when he was our minister TO
| Germany.
The next time I met him when |
was riding introduced myself and
said:
GAS an officer of the navy, who owes
so much to the Naval Academy thar
you established, / want to thank you
1 could see that he liked the comph'
ment with it's reference to service
that many of that generation had
forgotten, so we became good friends
I was at dinner later when both ne
and General Sherman were present.
Menus were passed round with a re-
quest for autographs. General Sher-
man wrote his, and underneath It d
word that Mr.. Bancroft could not
make out.
"What is it?" Mr.. Bancroft asked
| General" answered Sherman
Mr.. Bancroft, who had already writ
ten his autograph, asked for the menu
back, and under his name he added
"Octogenarian.
One day when I was walking WIN
Admiral Porter and we passed Ban
croft; I heard his valet say to hlln'
lift your hat. That is Admlfal
/ II, IA
Porter" For it was a custom in WASH
ington to lift your hat to the admiral
Mr.. Bancroft obeyed the Wallets nlil'
tary direction, and Porter said to me
''Here he is told to lift his hat TO me
when used to salute him as Il su'
perior."
Porter had lifted his own hat IN
manner that showed the old feeling u

was very feverish and complained of
being sick. He was afraid that he
was taking typhoid fever and insisted
on returning to Pennsylvania imme-
diately, which he did"
why, he wasn't sick at all-he was
just afraid of me-" answered Watts.
HE was afraid to meet me, for he
knew if l saw him l would kill him.
l stood off the sheriff and seventeen
of his men, all armed, in Brookville
once. Those fellows are all afraid or
me. So you came down here to get
me yourself? Well, you haven't any

and, not wanting to be bothered with
them, decided just to bring you right
along"

coward" said Watts. IF ever l get
my eyes on him I'll kill him on sight.

Watts, who was seated beside me on
the left next to the window, turned
round facing me and said:
Who are you and where are you
taking me and what have you arrest
ed me fof?"
replied that was a deputy sher-
il from Vermilion and that l had
arrested him on suspicion of having
committed a burglary there a week
before.
why, was never in Vermilion
in my life." Watts answered. "You
have made big mistake"
Il guess I'm not very much mistak-
en-" i answered. Some of our citi-
zens saw the burglars when they left
the bank, AMI have identified you ac-
curately. OF course, if they fail to
identify you on your arrival at Yer

asked the prisoner. "Well, don't dep
uty sheriffs have to give bond for the
careful performance of their duties?"

well, these people won't identity

and have arrested two house thieves

not be mistaken
We'll, you are very badly mistaken
now" answered Watts, and with this
ne stopped talking and seemed to be
at his ease, as he knew that he could
not be identified at Vermilion and
felt sure that he would be released.
In due time we arrived at East
st. Louis, when l explained that / did
not care to proceed to Vermilion
that night as had some business to
attend to, and therefore / proposed
that we stay over night in the city
and take the first train out to Yer
million in the morning. Watts APP
peared perfectly satisfied. According
ly brought him across the river and
took him to the Four Courts, turning
him over to Major McDonough, chief
of police, who was an old friend OF
mine. The next morning we took an
early train for Indianapolis. Just as
the Wabash river, which separates
Illinois from Indiana was reached,
Watts turned upon me with an oath.
Where are you taking me?" he de-
manded. "You haven't told me the
truth"
NO." answered. "But will do so
now. am taking you to Brookville,
Pa"
"Why didn't you tell me this in the
first placer" Watts asked loudly.
''My reason for not telling you in
the first place." I replied, was that
after / had located you, as supposed,
at Paducah, KY, reported the facts
to the sheriff of Jefferson county and
asked him to apply for the proper
papers SO that you might be taken
back to Pennsylvania. The sheriff

your capture, to which I objected.
