According to the Indianapolis Governor Mount is not obliged to draw on his imagination for facts. It says: “Gov. Mount has had a varied experience. He can talk to soldier’s reunions about personal servioes in the army; he told the librarians about his experience with country debating clubs and libraries, and the carriagemakers how he began farming by running in debt for a carriage, because, he said, he had married a girl who was used to city life and he felt it his duty to make farm life as comfortable for her as possible. The governor is fortunate in being able to draw facts from his experience instead of his imagination.

It may be, after all that Admiral Dewey would have done no worse for himself had he eugaged in a general campaign of Qobsonizing' than to have hooked up to the gay and comparatively youthful Widow Hazen. The ohances certainly are that way if the following from the Delphi Journal oorrectly sizes up the situation. “The engagement of Admiral Dewey to Mrs. Hazen, a sister of the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, has been announced. When a newspaper correspondent oalled on Mrs. Hazen for her photograph she at first requested that it be published in none blit Democratic newspapers, but later modified the conditions on the assurance that it would be published in Democratic newspapers first. It will be seen by this that Admiral Dewey’s bride has the blood of the late Washington McLean in her veins. She is thoroughly devoted to society. In Washington this means the giddy whirl, seven days in the week and almost 24 hoars in the day. If Admiral Dewey is after peace and quiet he is liable not to get it And if a man desires to hook up with a pace insured to kill he could do no better than jump into the ourrent known as "Washington society.” SATURDAY.
