A HISTORIC OLD TOWN.
BIadensburg, Near Washington, Famous
--a ISnttlc Grnnrl

BIadensburg, Near Washing ton, Famous as
Battle Ground.
Not far from the city of Washington
lies the sleepy little town of Bladensburg,
made famous by the battle fought there
on the oath of August 1914. The British
troops, following up the vanquished
Americans, reached Washington, but,
though occupying it only one dav, they
in that short time burned the capitol,
the executive mansion, and other gov
ernment property. Pretty Dolly Mad
ison, whose husband was at that time
president, fled from her home, but not
until she had made sure of the safety of
Washington's portrait by Gilbert Stuart,
which she did at the risk of being
captured.
Bladensburg is.perhaps almost equally
celebrated for its delicious mineral
spring, and what is known as the "Old
Spa" is to this day much frequented by
the people of the neighborhood. From
morning until night there are groups of
people, principally colorcd, who stand
about the spring talking and awaiting the
opportunity to drink. Barefooted little
darkies scamper up with pitchers and
jugs to carry home that best of drinks,
and many of them who come in convey
ances bring with them demijohns for
the same purpose.
Near the spa" on the village street
stands an inn which glories in the high
sounding title of THE George Washing
ton Hotel" 1t undoubtedly sheltered
Washington during his stay here and
shows unmistakable signs of it's old age.
The stream of water known us the East
ern Branch, and which flows around the
edge of the town, was once of sufficient
depth and breadth to float large ships
OF oil
try being shipped from here. The
waters have gradually receded, SO that
now only hat-bottomed boats or steam
launches can be used on it, and the place
that WAS once of considerable CONNER
cial Importance is now very dead little
town. On the spot where once stood the
famous Ross tavern there is now
nothing but ruin.
A walk of less than mile from Blad-
ensburg brings one to the spot where so
many celebrated duels were fought. 1t
was here that Commodore Decatur and
Captain Barron met, the encounter end
ing in the death of Decatur. He sur
vived long enough to be conveyed to his
home on Lafayette square in Washing
ton, where he died the same night.
The celebrated Cilley and Graves duel
was also fought here, as well
less prominence. These woods,
once 30 silent and chosen for
these murderous meetings, are now con-
stantly resounding with the whistles of
passing trains between Baltimore and
Washington. Another year will prob
ably see the running of the electric road
between these two cities and the laying
out OF what is intended to be the most
beautiful boulevard in the world.

In one of the cases at the Army and
Medical Museum there is long row of
small test tubes containing bacterial
organisms of several of the most dan
gerous diseases, known to the medical
profession. The exhibition is branch
of that department under the
management of DR.. Gray, who
conducts experiments in the formation
of the disease germs and speculates on
their terms OF existence and powers of
resistance, says the Washington Post.
Among the collection is tube labeled
"Asiatic cho3erR," which attracts more
attention than any of the others. The
tube was filled with gelatine on June %,
at the same time being inoculated with
cholera. In little over a month the
disease germs have developed and multi
piled TO such an extent as to be plainly
visible to the naked eye. In the open
end Of the tube is loosely wadded piece
of cotton, and although the contents
may be seen through the glass doors of
the case, Manager Flynn, OF the museum,
kindly takes the tube out of the case
and explains the growth of the germs
when particular interest Is manifested
in the culture by visitors.
The other day, while showing the
cholera tube to party of yisitors, ner-
vous lady approached the group and in
an excited manner inquired:
us that real cholera you have bottled
up there?"
Yes. Asiatic cholera politely re-
piled Mr.. Flynn.
The woman threw up both hands and
exclaimedi
Then for Gods sake, do be careful
and don't drop the bottle"

A Wonderful House In IN, Arizona. Canon
y" Not Built by Man.
1t is grand house, and to build one
like it would cost millions of dollars, if
it could be done at all. And yet the
man who lived in it had hardly 81 to his
name. But then he didn't buy the
house, because it was made by nature on
the rocky walls of Sabina canon in
Arizona, thousands of years ago, and
has been ready for an occupant ever
since.
The man who lives in it is a pros
pector known as ''Mike," says the San
Francisco Call. What other name he
has is not known, and besides, it don't
matter. He says he was going up the
canon one day year or so ago when
he first saw the place, and thought it
was house built by man. When he
saw his mistake he simply took posses
sion. Mikes house is truly most de-
ceptive piece of natures handiwork and
very useful one. 1t is on the canon
walls, probably 100 feet above the bot
tom, and flight of natural stone steps
lead up to it's.
1t is hard to convince ones self that
it is not the work of man until it is ex-
amined closely, when its enormous size
alone would make q person know differ
ClUly. ~ 10 oiiy oilc ptoi DuU Viz out-
side wall is over 100 feet high. The door,
which is in good proportion, is over
twenty-five feet high and the room on
the inside reaches up and ends in a
black vault that there is no telling how
far away it is.
When Mike wants fire he just makes
it on the floor, and the smoke curls up
to the top and disappears somewhere.
This is somewhat strange, as no water
ever comes into the place and the smoke
cannot be seen coming out anywhere.
But it very likely goes through some
tissure into cave beyond.
But Mike doesn't care where it goes.
He is satisfied with the convenience, and
thinks he is the best fixed prospector in
the mountains. This house of rock is
most strongly suggestive of Egyptian
architecture, and also bears a great re-
semblance to some of the cave dwellings
in the Salt river valley. The thing is
an interesting curiosity, and, although
it is the house of q prospector now, there
is strong possibility that it may in the
past have done duty as the home for
some members of the lost races of this
strange country.

Texas Cowboys Have No Time for Parlor
Car.


Two Texas cowboys recently had the
novel experience of travelling by rail
over the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road,
says the Atlanta Constitution. But
they seemed to feel uncomfortable from
the time that the train pulled out from
the point that they got on out in the
brush. When they got in the Wagner
sleeper one of them said to the other:
bill, you'll have to take your spurs
offern your hoofs il you expect to put
your boots on the top of that seat"
Bill did so and then seemed panied
and surprised when the porter told him
that passengers were not expected to
put their feet on the plush-covered
seats. He toyed with his gun until the
porter retired. When he rolled acigar-
ette and lit it and the conductor
showed him where the smoking recepta-
Gle OF the vestibule train was he seemed
annoyed. AT supper time, when all OF
the passengers on the buffet gave their
orders and the two cowboys gave theirs,
telling the porter TO bring them ''all
there was on the program and be sure
to bring them plenty OF sardines," they
handed the porter S5 bill and were sur
prised when he asked them for Is cents
more.
Both of them said, "That settles it. II
We stay in this here concern that niger
will have our whole roll before we git
to the next station. No wonder the
gang hold up the trains, but am sur
prised at 'erp goin' after the mail when
they would have such a soft snap with
the coon in the high-tonsd corral. II
ever was to 60 into the train rob
berry business I would 60 coon huntin'
first and get the black seoundrel that
wanted four bits for sliekin' UP our
book" They quit the train AT the next
wayside station.
