Title of the Lees to Arlington.

In the case of Lee against Kaufman
superintendent of the Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery before the United
States Circuit Court of Alexandria, to
recover possession of the Arlington es-
tate, the plaintiffs claim to the title is
set forth about as follows: Charles I,
King of England, claimed all the land
in America which John Cabot dis.
covered in 1897. He granted Robert
Howsen, in 1869, some 5000 acres of
land stretching along the Potomac,
from Analostan Island to Great Hunt
ing Creek, and including Arlington.
Howsen, in November, 1869, sold this
land to Robert Alexander, mo. y.
Robert Alexander died in 1877, and be-
queathed the land to his sons, Robert
(No. p and Philip Alexander, the lat
ter's title passing to Robert. Babert
Alexander mo. p died in 1903, aIc$Sbe-
queathed the land to his sons, Robert
(No. 81 and Charles Alexander. Charles
died, and all of the land vested in Rob
ert, who died in 1876, and the land
passed to Gerard Alexander mo. II
who died in 1760, and bequeuthed the
land to Gerard Alexander mo. q who,
on Christmas Day, ITS, sold Airing
ton to John Parke Gusts, stepson of
George Washington, and his aide in the
field, who died Of camp fever near
Yorktown in 1881, leaving the estate to
his son, G. w. p. Gusts, who devised
the land in 1856 latter life estate 10
his mother) to George Washington
Gusts Lee, upon Lees taking his Gus
tis) name and arms. This Gerard
Alexander No. 2 was the grandfather of
Columbus Alexander, of this city, who
yet owns tract on the south of the
Arlington estate, which has never been
out Of the family.] Arlington was
placed in possession of the GUSTS
family on Christmas Day, ITS, and was
still its home on Christmas Day, 1860.
In the summer of 1861 the daughter of
Mr.. Gusts, the wife of Gen. Lee, joined
her husband in the South, and on the
9th of June, 1864, the United States as
sumed possession under u tax title, and

Food Cure for Alcoholism.

Leibig's theory that iquor.drinking
is compatible with animal, but not with
farinaceous diet, seems to have been
corroborated by an English scientific
man, who has been trying the expert
ment on twenty-seven liquor-drinking
persons. A striking instance of reform
was shown in the case of man of sixty,
who had been Incorporate for thirty
five years, and was in the habit of taking
O spree about once week. His con-
stitution was 80 shattered that he had
great difficulty in obtaining insurance
on his life. After an attack of deliri-
UNI tremens, which nearly proved fatal,
he was induced to live upon farina-
ceous food, which in seven months en-
tirely removed his desire for liquor,
and he became perfectly sober. He
lost flesh ut the beginning of the ex-
pertinent, but regained it after two or
three months. Among the articles OF
food mentioned as specially antagoniss-
tic to alcohol are lentils, dried beans.
haricot beans, and macaroni, all OF
which should be we'll boiled and sea-
soned with plenty of butter or olive
oil. Ordinary garden vegetables are

but much less so than farinaceous diet.
The carbonaceous starch contained in
maccaroni, beans. and oil seems to rem
der unnecessary. and, therefore, repul-
sive, the carbon resident in alcohol.
This remedy is SO very simple that it
ought to be tested by men who have so
often tried 10 break themselves OF in
temperate habits. Drinking to excess
is unquestionably a curse in every
American city, aud farinaceous food has
never hurt anybody. Whatever harm
it does to alcohol is clear gain.-Home

Going to Sleep.
BIZ ETHEL LYNN.

Stepping straight of the shore
OF q twilight frolic gay
Into the arms Of Sleep
That is the baby's way.
Down, till the tender mouth
Quivers with baby dreams,
And the silver dew Of sleep
On the nestled forehead CLEANS.
Making good fight awhile,
Rubbing with school-boy fist
His eyes, till lights about
Simmer in rings OF laist,
With many a dreaming start
OF Fairgrounds scarce, or leap,
Till the rough, red hands lie still
So Freddie goes to sleep.
Nellie, with hslf-shut eyes,
Drifts onward dreamily
Through the happy border-land
OF a moonlight reverie,
Until, like a folded rose,
Or lily of the lake,
Sleep shuts her senses up
Till new dawn awake.
Protesting stoutly still
Against sleeps mastery,
The busy man lies down
To think.
His reverie
Is strongly vocal soon,
The face, off guard, grows sad,
Spite Of the trumpet tune.
But Grandma dear old soul,
Asleep in easy chair,
Denies it. Then the lads
Laugh at her stony stare,
Her dear old nodding head,
And hands that will unlock
Till knitting-needles fall
From the unfinished sock.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD CHICAGO" -
Forty five years ago the place was called
"Tuck Chicago" Tuck, in the Indian
dialect, means wood or timber, and
Chicago, gone, absent, or without. The
words Tuck Chicago signified, there
fore, the waste prairie, or literally
translated, "wood gone" Mr.. John
Jenkins, an old resident of Momence,
ILL.,, says that when he was boy he
was as familiar with the Indian tongue
as with his own language, and that the
above may be relied upon as correct.
They were surrounded by Incians at
that time, and his father was the fret
white man who raised crop of corn in
Cass County, Mich, which was in the
year 1925. The usual definition given
to the word Chicago is entirely errone-
ous.-P0tter's American Moathly.

Our Nine Badly whitewashed In IA Game of
Six Innings.
The Bostons made their deJu, to the WASH
ington public yesterday and were very gra-
ciously received. When they appeared on tho
National grounds the large gathering Of spec.
tators treated them to hearty applause, and
later while the game was in progress, their
two Washington representatives Snyder aud
Houck, were each presented with handsome
basket of flowers, coming evidently from lady
admirers.
The game opened at $40 o'clock, with the
Nationals at the bat and one run ought TO
have been made 10 the first inning, but Ellck
WAS unfortunate in falling when he had II
chance TO score, and few minutes afterwari
was put out in trying to reach home, From
| that timo 10 the close of the sixth inning they
did little b ,tting aud failed TO obtain run in
the game. The BoStons fielding was sharp
and the men showed excellent proficiency in
| playing.
So much cannot be said Of the Nationals. A
| long period of inactivity aud want of practice
showed its expected effect upon them. In the
GU field Derby, Elick and Baker, barring one
miss for the latter. did excellent work. but the
| in fielding was not go good. Lynch pitched
well and Trott caught finely, but the errors at
short, third and second had the effect of giving
the visitors four out of the five runs that they
obtained. ne NhLlOldls also cXulDlbcu luCh
of head in the in-fcld play, and at times every
man seemed working for himself, and as con-
sequence two or three men would try for the
same ball which resulted In nobody getting IL
and the runner reaching his base. A little
better discipline might have shown more
effective playing. The batting on both sides
WAS weak, the two pitchers seeming to be too
much for the respective mon. The game
kept close up to the third innings, when
Sutton got in three.base hit on what
many persons supposed was a foul ball,
but the umpire thought differently, al
though Trott was measuring and drawing
| lines for the umpiro's benefit, iu order to ef.
| feet the decision, which he found availed
nothing. Snyder gave his friends fine exhi-
bition of catching and throwing, and showed
that his reputation in that respect was not
uudosorved. Houck took charge Of the centre
field and accepted the only chance offered him,
At the bat he did not do much execution, the
basket of flowers evidently having directed
tho young mans mind INTO n channel Of
thoughts where maiden fair might have been
more conspicuous than field sports, Ho and
Snyder were both waylsid by the boys after

settlImg m Alley Dispute.

The case of John ID. Mcpherson against
Nicholas Acker was closed in the general term
yesterday. Justice Cox delivered the opinion
of the court in which all the judges concurred.
The suit arose out of an appeal from the Equity
court to enjoin the defendant from closing a
certain alley aud interrupting the drainage
from house passing through said alley.
Justice Cox said ut the time Huyck purchased
the property from Acker he was given privi-
lege to use the alley, but it did not go with tho
transfer. Subsequently Mcpherson bought the
same property from Huyck, and ut the time OF
the sale was told that the right TO use the alley
did not go withit. Mcpherson then replied that
tho alley must not be closed. Some time after
ward Acker decided to close tho alley and
Mcpherson applied for an injunction to pre-
vent IT. also not to disturb the drainage. The
court refused II IN the first instance and grant
ed it in the second. He was Of the opinion
that no right of way TO the alley existed to
Huyck at the time he purchased the property,
aud consequently no subsequent transfer 81 ii
could require an easement against Acker The
decree below was affirmed in both particulars,
