PICNIC PARTIEs.

The popular method of reaching these cool
and lovely retreats with those who cannot
afford to own launches or belong TO boat clubs
is by passage on several small steamers which
ply between Georgetown and the several up
river landings. These little steamers on pleas
ant Sundays are crowded each trip with picnic
parties, what. with the well-flled lunch
baskets and the owners thereof, it is often
difficult to obtain even comfortable standing

GAMBLING HOUSES.

For years these grand old Virginia bluffs
have been the most popular resort Of inno-
cent pleasure-se from Washington but
of late they have been invaded 10y a PERM
cious class which threatens TO drive
away the better elements. At
several eligible places or plateaus
along the shore, gambling have been
established. by some means not yet eA-
planned to or understood by the interested
public. the gamblers have obtained possession
OF the best sites along the river front. and have
erected cheap structures. IN and around which
all species Of gambling are carried on every
Sunday. apparently without the knowledge,
and certainly without the Interference of the
Virginia authorities. II is ineXphcaUe 10 the
thousands who have for years frequented the
lovely Virginia shore that gamblers and the
vicious elements which accompany them and
follow III their wake should so openly defy
the laws and do violence 10 every sentiment
of law and order.

The Virginia shore Of the Potomac river,
extending to a distance Of four or five miles
above the city, is one Of the favored Sunday
resorts of the people of Washington. On the
Virginia side high bluffs stretch clear up TO
and even beyond Little Falls They are
heavily timbered with the natural forest
growth. and some of the majestic trees have
no doubt thrown their shade over the
waters of the Potomac since the period when
the abOrigines roamed this region. All along

the city there IS everything 10 invite picnic

Ostentation at Funerals.

1t is a sad commentary OF a Christian
community, which takes that distinctive
title from a religion whose founder is
called the CONSIDER because his word
plucks the sting from death, that it sur
rounds death with every circumstance of
woe and gloom. The distinctive minis
try of the faith seems to fail at the very
point to which it is especially addressed.
The natural Christian N at the burial
of the dead would seem to be the cheer
that springs from the thought of immor-
tality-a sublime hope, a tender resigna-
ton.
The Christian thought in that hour
should instinctively dwell upon the soul,
not upon the body, and the simplest and
most transformations rite of burial would
seemfo be the most truly Christian. But
the ~ostentation of Christian funerals has
become so great that burial reform asso-

What do you NEAR by liquid money:
Money which flows like a liquid-lke
quicksilver, according to the inclina-

ample, do not have liquid money; their
money is in real estate, upon which they
could not realize in tight times as well
as in easy times. But Gould's money is

flush times.
Almost any time he can withdraw

it loaned. Now, the bank surplus is
only $10,0 0 600. So you see the pro

nature Of his property.
His property is always cal Wing mcrey
in cash. If he resolves to purchase some
costly piece Of property, like the Union
Pacific railroad, he may put his money
out to let interest accumulate upon it.
He is not, however, a money lender in
the sense Of Russell Sage, who lends
money to earn money. Mr.. Gould lends
money with an object in view, in the
nature of a large merchant. Yet he is
without the conditions of such a mana

A friend of mine not long ago bor-

his temporary necessity, but said to Mr..

Gould said to HIN, Go along until you
get through, and we will see about the

all that Gould asked him was ordinary

does quietly without further remark,

very intimate with him, but have had
exchanges of that kind to take place,

Here Is an incident from the South

just after the Grippe had visited that
country. II am a farmer, one Of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter was on a trip to the City
Of Vicksburg, Miss. where I got well
drenched in q shower of rain. /
went home and was soon after seized
with . dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day. until I had
to seek relief. Iconsulted Dr.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get q bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. Ny condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottlesof German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much Of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear Of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe. and
all its bad effects. Ifelt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"
