I feol that I have given warn ing enough, and I am going to fix her for life, and hecauao you and Mrs. An drows did not give heed to warnings, I am going to fix you, too. I'm going to make Homo one throw something in your nurae'a and children's facos that will disfigure tliom and eat all tho flesh off the bone. This I will do for spite, because you did not lot Mary go, as I told you. You had just as well let her go first as last. You will havo no girl alive when I get through with her."

Admiral Dewey has given to tlio Manila corre spondent of Leslie's Weekly an inter view regarding tho suggestion that tho admiral bo inado a candidato for tho presidency next year. Tho admiral said, as to his politics: "1 am a sailor. A sailor has no pol itics. Tho administration is his party and, Republican or Democratic, it makes no difference. Then, again, I como from Vermont, and you know what that means. To be anything but a Republican in Vermont is to bo a man without a party. My flag lieu tonant comes from Georgia. Ho tells mo that to bo anything but a Democrat in tho South is to be a nobody. If I lived South I would probably bo a Democrat." "Havo you over voted?" tho corre spondent asked. "Yes, yoara ago, but my vote waa usually influenced by poisonal prefer ence or local conditions I am not a politician, havo never held political office and am totally ignorant of party intricacies and affiliation)." Admiral Dewey said that neither by vocation, disposition, education nor training was ho capacitated to fill tho presidency. Ho said that ho was too well along in llfo to consider such a possibility. His health would not ad mit of it. All his life's work was in different lines of effort: nnd that, wliilo tho kindness and enthusiasm of his friends wore grntoful to him, and tho genorous tributes of tho American peoplo wero dear to him, ho could not and would not be a candidato for tlio presidency of the United Statea under any conditions.
