THE O’FERRALL —— CRUSADE For some time past it has been known that the authorities of Alexandria county opposite Georgetown have been, to say the least, lax in the matter of watching the various gambling heuses said to be in ope- ration in that vicinity. ‘The little steamer Bartholdi makes fre- quent trips between Georgetown and the Virginia shere, and among its passengers may be found men of all ages and repre- senting all classes of life. 15 cents, gentlemen,” called the . as the crowd lined up at his little window last Sunday afternoon, when the beat finally returned from a previous trip to the Vicginia shore.

President McKinley Interested in the Project—Senator Thurston’s Resolu- tion Providing for Commission. A movement has been set afoot to have the United States erect a monument to Gen. Lafayette in the city of Paris, to be dedicated during the Paris exposition. ‘The projector of the movement is Mr. Robert Thompson, who has been assur- ed by tne French government unofficially, through M. Picard, that ground for the monument can be secured through the municipality of Paris, in case it be deem- ed inadvisable to erect it over the grave of Lafayette, which is now obscure and almost unmarked. President McKinley and Assistant Secretary Day, Mr. Thompson says, have shown much interest in the matter, which has been brought officially to the attention of Congress, through res- olutions offerea in both houses. A resolu- tion offered by Senator Thurston of Ne- braska is as follows: For the provision of a commission to su- pervise the collection of a fund among all the schools of the United States; for the purpose of erecting a monument to General Lafayette in the city of Paris, France. the same to be presented to the government of France and unveiled ond dedicated on the 4th day of July, in the year 1900.

Death Within an Inch, From the Philadelphia Press. The horrible accident to two Pennsylva- nia women who were walking over a rail- way trestle when they were overtaken and run down by a train recalls a thrilling ex- perience through which a Philadelphian passed last winter. He had often read of the grandeur of the White mountains when they were covered by snow and ice, and he decided to make a trip through them. dt was about noon when he reached the depot near the foot of Mt. Washington, and as a train would not go southward until 6 o'clock, he concluded to walk through the Crawford Notch. He had his first hair- raising adventure in the Gate of the Notch, He was half way through when a north- bound freight appeared around the curve at the eother end. There was no time to reach the open end and the snow was packed so closely to the rocks of both sides that there were ridges where the sides of the cars had scraped as they passed. Death seemed inevitable, but there was a little space alongside the rails, and into this he crawled, lying on his side to make himself as small as possible. The next moment the train was thundering past, the wheels pass- ing within an inch of his body. Had he moved a muscle he would certainly have been mangled to death. He said afterward he thought that train must have been at { least 100 miles long. Alma Mater. Annual Banquet Given Last Night— Responses to Toasts by Distin- guished Speakers. Amid most attractive and patriotic sur- roundings, the members of the Society of Alumni of Gcnzaga College spent sev- eral hours last evening, recalling bygone days and proclaiming the praises of alma mater. There were present prominent sen- aters and represe1.tatives in Congress, in dividuals who stand high among the cler- gy of the Catholic Church and men who hold leading positions in the professional and business fields of this city. For the time being all were college boys again, and it was with undoubted pleasure and marked enthusiasm that they repeated, in condensed form d through the medium of words, scenes and incidents of life at the ccllege. a The members and guests met in the assembly hail of the new building~ ond proceeded thence to the hall on «he ficor below. The tables were arranged in the form of a U and were tastefully bedecked with flowers. In the hollow of the U was a_mass of potted plants. ‘The pillars, walls and ceiling were almost hidden from view with the national colors. Incan- descent electric lights made the scene a brilliant one. An crchestra discoursed ap- propriate selecticns during the evening. Rev. Cornelius Gillespie. president of the college, cccupied a seat at the center of the head table, and on either side of him were the Right Rev. Monsignor Conaty, D. D.: Senators Thomas H. Carter and ‘William N. Roach, and several members of the Catholic clergy." At the center of one of the side tables was Mr. John J. Dolan, who proved himself an ideal toastmaster. The First Response. After an elaborate menu had been dis- cussed and cigars were lighted, Mr. olan introduced Mr. Leon Tcbriner to respond to the toast, “The Alumni.” In beginning his remarks Mr. Tobriner said it often struck him as being strange that en in- stitution of the standing of Gonzaga had been so long without an alumni associa- tion. Now that such an association Lad been formed, he added, it was the éuty of each member to sce that it grows stronger. The bends of friendship formed in college days should be fostered, Mr. Tobriner said, and should obtain antil the end cf time. He stated, among other things, + whatever success the grad- uates have achieved in life is due to old Gonzaga. Senator Thomas H. Carter of Montana was the next speaker, replying to the toast “The President of the United States.” Sen- ator Carter made a speech that was brim- ful of wit. He declared the District of Co- lumbia, of all places in the United States, to be the most favored. The citizens of the District, he said, pay only half the taxes, and yet receive all the benefits, and while they have no part in the public offices, finally succeed in securing all the salaries. ‘ontinuing, he sald the presidency of the United States is an office that no human being has ever declined to fill. The Presi- dent, according to Senator Carter, is the most powerful and greatest ciyil ruler the world has ever known. He has control of a demain greater than Caesar ever con- quered, and beyond the wildest dreams of Alexander. The presidency has never been filled, concluded Senator Garter, by a more oe patriotic citizen than William ley. “Reminiscences” was the subjest_assign- ed Senator William N. Roach. With the understanding that those present re: ‘d- ed the meeting in progress an execuzive session. Senator Roach disclosed that it was forty-five years ago when he entered Gonzaga College. He recalled many in. dents and many persons of the old days and closed: by expressing the hope that when the members of the alumni et again their memories will be no older. History ot Today. “When I say that the next speaker is the only democrat in Congress from New England,” said Toastmaster Dolan, in in- troducing Representative John F. Fitz- gerald of Massachusetts, “it docs not mean that the democracy is not well rep- resented.” Mr. Fitzgerald spoke of ‘the history of today. He referred to tne dis- aster in the harbor of Havana, and from that moved to the Cuban situation in gcn- eral. He took occasion to remark that the right of free speech is not possible in the House of Kepresentatives, because cf the rulings of the Speaker of that body, and then declared that independence, free and unlimited, should be given the sirug- gling patriots in Cuba. ~ Representative Fitzgerald remarked that, although the great bulk of seamen in the United Siates are Catholic, only two or three chaplains are of the Catholic faith. Continuing, he said the fact that there are not more than five Cotholics in the House of Repre- sentat in a total of representa- tives, is not due to accident, but to design. Representative Fitzgerald urged the young mer to stand by the church and to fight for the down-trodden and opp dof the Catholic faith. Mr. Martin F. Conbcy, graduating class of this the toast, “The The remarks of Mr. Conboy w especially eloquent. He paid a glowing tribute to Father Gil- lespie, the president of the colege, and de- tailed the ambitions of the boys of '98. Monsignor Conaty's Theme. Monsignor Conaty had as his theme “Leo XL” After referring to old college days, saying that the boys were now willing to forgive the deeds of the prefects, he Went on to recite that Leo XIII represents the al- legiance Catholics owe to the church. Bisr- marck in Germany represents an imperial government, said the speaker. Gladstone in England represents a constitutional govern- ment, but Leo XL in Rome represents the people. He is a ruler in the kingdom of intellect, according to the monsignor. The speaker added that Catholics should be true to their ideas and stand for the right in everything. ye are advancing along all the lines ef intellectual endeavor,” he concluded, “and let us everywhere be men, according to the Catholic ideal, and we will every- where be men according to the American ideal. : ‘oastmasier Dolan said the success of the evening would be incomplete if Father Gillespie failed to address the gathering. After expressing his thanks to all for their attendance and good wishes, Father Gilles- pie declared that the work of Gonzaga Col- lege had only begun. A new building is needed to carry on the work, but in order to erect such a building the expenditure of 3100,000 will be required. Father Gillespie caused a laugh when he said “I am look- ing to see what member of the alumni as- sociation will distinguish himself by con- tributing that amount.” The speaker de- clared it to be his intention that Gonzaga shall be the leading classical school of the national capital. The Maine Disaster. Before adjournment the association adopt- ed resolutions setting forth that the sad news of the wreck, by some mysterious means, in the harbor of Havana of the United States battle ship Maine in the sieeping hours of the ship's company, re- sulting in the death of two-thirds of her gallant crew, has cast a gioom over our country, and the Alumni Association of Gonzaga extend hearty sympathy to the surviving suffering wourled, and vo the families of the dead che wish that their sorrows will be assuaged. In harmony with the request of Consul General Lee the association asks the full- est investigation into the cause of the lamentable disaster; and If national honor demand the assccia- tion pledge the President patriotic co-opera- tion in any measure he and his counselors and the Congress may determine to carry out. a member of the r, responded to Committees in Charge.

Baltimore Sun of Tacay. The Lake Submarine Company of Balti- more, owners of the submarine wrecking beat Argonaut, yesterday telegraphed to Secretary of the Navy Long offering to the United States gayernment the use of the Argonaut for investigating the cause of the sinking of the Maine and for recoy- ering the bodies of the drowned saiiors and the supplies, armament and hull of the ship. Immediately after sending the telegram a letter was sent by special delivery, making the offer in more formal terms, and de- scribing what the company proposed tu do. ‘The letter is as follow: 2 Hon. John Db. Long, Secretary of the Navy, Navy Department, Washington, D. C.

The Argonaut will be of great ser: vice in investigating the cause of the ex- plosion and the condition of the ship. If it had been caused by the explosion of a submarine mine, with shore connections, there are, undoubtedly, other mines or some underwater evidence in the vicinity, and the Argonaut could be used in locating them, and atso to see where their connec- tiuns iermin=te. We can take your board of inquiry down alongside the Maine, and allow them to view or inspect the hull and photograph same, if the water is reasonably clear. ‘Tel- ephone connections could be kept up with the submarine boat while at work on the bottom. The boat is provided with power- ful electric lights for lighting up the local- ity over which she is traveling or while at work. The divers are not discommoded by surface conditions or currents; they have their tools right at hand and machinery for their assistance. ‘The Argonaut 1s capable of carrying a crew of seven or eight persons and remaining on the bottom for several days at a time. We have spe- cial tools and apparatus, which will greatly facilitate the raising of vessels. We inclose a couple of views showing the vessel at work on a wreck and traveling on the bottom.

Yours, very truly, THE LAKE SUBMARINE COMPANY. Mr. J. C. Lake, father of Mr. Simon Lake, inventor of the boat, said last night, that he had no doubt that the exact cause of the sinking of the ship could be learned by the use of the Argonaut. The testimony of ivers would not have to be relied upon, he said, because the government's commis- sion could be taken to the bottom of the harbor, and by use of the electric lights carried by the Argenaut could he shown the exact condition of the vessei’s hull. All the expensive armament not wrecked by the force of the explosion could be re- covered before the action of the sea waier ruined it While the Argonaut could go to Havana under her own motive power, Mr. Lake ays that it wonld be impraci‘cable, be- ‘ause she would not be able to make suffi- could, however, be towed there, ld be ligitened and put on the deck of a fast steamer and taken there dn a shert time. It would be a compara- tively easy matter to lift her out of the water with the big shears at the Sparrow's Point shipyard, or probabty with those at the Columbian iron works. ++ THE DIET OF DYSPEPTICS. What They Should Eat and What Not. Dr. Max Einhorn hefore the of Medicin How shall we treat such dyspeptics? Medicaments are not of much value, or play only a subordinate part. The main factor lies. in proper nourishment. These fatients, who have abstained from most kinds of food for years, must now learn anew to eat. Their stomach and intes- tines very quickly adapt themselves to this new condition. First, and above all, it is of importance to increase the quantity of nourishment; second, to provide a suiti- cient variety of foods. In order to im- prove nutrition, two articles of food, which hitherto have been often avoided by lay- men as,well as physicians, play an import- ant part. I mean bread and butter. Bread fcrms one-third of the total amount of in- gested food in health, and, besides having nutritive value serves the purpose of in- creasing the flow of saliva during its mas- tication. It also creates an appetite for other food. Butter not only improves the taste of various kinds of food, but is also in itself a nutriment of the greatest im- pertance. The great number of calories which butter contains (one hundred grams give eigit hundred and thirty-seven heat units, while the same amount of bread Gevelops about two hundred and seven- teen) shows this in the clearest manner. Another advantage which butter presents is that its volume is only about one-third that of bread. A patient taking about one-quarter of a pound of butter a day receives therewith more than one-half of the heat units required. This quantity of butter is well borne by most of the pa- tients. As nutrition plays the principal part in the treatment of these patients, it will not be amiss to give a few hints with regard to its management. To begin with, it does not appear advisabie to permit patients who have abstained for a long while from the coarser varieties of food everything at once. This abrupt change may at times be the cause of various unpleasant symp- toms; therefore, it should be accomplished gradually. At first give, besides milk, gruels, and thickened soups, eggs beaten up in milk, etc. A few days later begin to add to this bill of fare zwieback or crackers with butter; then permit meat, the white of chicken and well-scraped beef; next, mashed potatoes, soft boiled or scrambled eggs, Oysters; at last allow vegetables. and’.fruits. An essential point with regard to nutrition is punctuality in the taking of meals. In most of these eases, in which a gain in weight is of great importance, frequent meals (five or six daily) will be advisable. Although it does not appear advantageous to prescribe for the pat‘ent the quantities of the various feods inexact weight (grams or ounces)— as by so doing they are too easily remind- ed of their ability or inability to digest this or that quantity and not more—it is nevertheless of value to mention approxi- mate figures, by whioh they may be guided or below which they shall not go. Thus, for example, they: may be told to eat as much as their neighbors at table, or that ‘they shall take tem ounces of milk at this or that meal; or, as I frequently advise, that they shall — one-quarter of a pound of butter & day. Emphasize those points which appear tobe the most im- portant, and leave the patient great lib- erty in alt othere particulars... We must strive to familiarize! the patient with the idea that ample nourishment will strength- en his organs (including the stomach and intestines), and we must always endeavor to dispel the fear. of food with which he is * ew York Academy FROM ALASKA TO MEXICO. Turn in the Tide Exploration for Gold. The Secretary of State has received a re- port from United States Consul Kindrick, at Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, th regard to the gold discoveries in the Yaqui country, from which it appears that seekers after the yel- low.metal, discouraged by the rigors and hardships of an Alaskan winter, are devot- ing considerable attention to the southern Eldorado. “For the past month,” says the consul, “as many as twenty prospectors each week have fitted out st El Paso, Tex., and de- parted over the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre ard Pacific road for the Yaqui territory. Reports coming back from them have been. generally favorable. A few days ago a rich vein was struck near Guaynopa, which runs 8.000 ounces of silver and 11 ounces of gold to the ton. But, however rich the de- posits may be, I would not recommend that any one reek his fortune there with a mere pan_and pick. There is, without doubt, ccnsiderable gold there; but, to be worked profitably, plenty of capital and the most improved maclinery are requisite. “The Yaqui gold country is reached by taking the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific road at Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, for Casas Grandes, 150 miles to the southwest. “After winding among the defiles of the mountains, the prospector will enter the valley of the Yaqui river. Many extrava- gant stories have been told of the exist- ence of placer and quartz gold in this val- ley. The Yaqui Indians have extracted gold in meager quantities. Until recently the admissicn of miners to this territory was denied by the Indiars, ond this prob- ably caused the exaggerated reports about the deposits of the precious metal. Until lately the Indians rebelled against certain laws of the Mexican government; but now a treaty with them is in effect, and they are peaceable. For many years the In- dians have sold gold to traders, but it has been impossible to determine Low rich the deposits are. As I stated above, it will re- quire plenty of capital to mine it profitably. “It is a virgin country from Casas Grandes to th> gold fields. Plenty of deer, bear and turkey can be found to supply the traveler with fresh meat. Springs and small streams of fresk water are numer- ous.
