ADMIRAL DEWEY HERE.
Pronounced Characteristic of the
Admiral Demonstrated.
Admiral George Dewey, accom
panied by Mrs. Dewey and party,
was here a few minuses thisinorn
insr on his way to Savannah. The
party travelled on a special train,
composed of two cars which passed
here about 9:40.
When the train pulled up - the
Admiral was seated in the rear of
the second car and he remained
seated, despite the many calls for
1 -
"Dewey" until he spied a kodak.
Then he came out on the platform
and said ''howdy," and showed his
human nature by speaking of the
weather. "This is 'Dewey'
weather." remarked some wag
under an umbrella, and the Admi
ral laughed at the pun.
In the meantime "Chix," the
penny photographer was endeavor-
iner to sret a picture of the Manila
hero. "You taking mV picture
well, wait till I get my ( hat," and
the Admiral re-appeared in a mo-
ment with his silk hat on. "You
want me to look at it (the camera;)
I'll just look pleasant, eh ?" and the
Admiral looked as pleased as any
of the hundreds of children who
have recently had pictures taken
by Chix. '
A lady admirer had a pretty
carnation passed : through the
crowd to Dewe . This gave him
a chance to show one of his pecu
liar-characteristics. "'Thanks, I'll
give -this to my wife." and he
handed it to Mrs. Dewey. An-
other carnation was sent up by
the same lady. "I want the Ad-
miral to have this one," said the
lady. "Thanks," said the Admi
ral, as the flower was handed him,
"I'll give this, toj Mrs. Dewey,
too" and it also went the way of
the "Dewey home."
"That's right," remarked some
fellow, "You give her every
thing," Mrs. Dewey came to the door
and was introduced by the Admi
ral. Like hei husband she is also
not afraid wafthe 'kodak fiend,"
and was willing to have her picture
taken, but this was made impossi
ble by the scarcity of plates on
hand.
There were a number of people
down to see the Manila hero de
spite the bad weather and
uncertainty of the . hour of
arrival. )

minutes and made a fine talk.
Revs H. L. jAtkins then made
an address upc n Benevolence pre

joined by hundreds of other en
thusiastic voices and after re
peated calls of Dewey! Dewey !! he
came out on the rear platform,
where Chix was waiting his chance
to shoot. When Mr. Dewey saw
him he said "Wait until I get my
hat." Stepping inside he re-ap
peared with his silk hat on and
proceeded to pose; Chix made four
shots at him, getting some elegant
plates. Then the Admiral re
quested him to "take his wife al
so,", but Chix explained to his
sorrow that he had fired the last
shot at him. He then stepped to
the car and thanked the Admiral
for posing and shook hands with
him, being the only man in Salis
bury who took advantage of the
chance to shake hands with Ameri
ca's greatest fighter, Dewey.
