City Revealed.
Jackson City, where law and order is q
thing of the past, proves to be not only a
nest for policy players and gamblers, but
also for thieves, and the detectives, in max
ing an investigation yesterday. learned
from the persons arrested of their visit to
the Virginia settlement and of how they
disposed of the plumber. These facts were
learned in connection with the robbery COM
mitted at j. w. Brooks furnishing store on
Pennsylvania avenue. The show window
was broken and nearly 500 worth Of goods
stolen. Beng afraid to dispose of the plum
der here, 1t was taken aciOSS the river and

DIET AND OLD AGE.
Food Should Be Eaten That is Easily
DiSested.

Food Should BE Eaten That is Easily
DiSested.'
From the Popuia- Health Magazine
At the extremes of life the diet In health
ana disease needs ttmlfch more attention
tnan between these periods. Infants have
received so much attention that large
WORKS are written on the treatment of dis
eases peculiar to them, and numerous are
the articles written on the diet and feeding
of the very young in health and disease.
The old, however, have been singdlary
neglected in this respect. The old, like the
young, need very little medicine when they
have disorders of nutrition, but great at
tention to the diet should in every case be
paid.
The principal requisite for food for the
aged is that it Should be easily digeStib.e
Since with advancing years, digestion and
assimilation become greatly weakened and
too much food or food not sufficiently di-
seStiDle is very injurious. 1t is the pop ,ilar
1uei that after a certain age stimulants in
some form are needed, but this is false.
NO whisky or brandy will help the aged
and weak much as properly selected
family who has charge of the aged should
be one VINO has made dietetics Special
study in her training.
Artificial teeth cannot nlaSticate food as
well as natural teeth, and the saliva and
other digestive euceS are not secreted as
abundantIy as in earlier life. OF course
the amount and kind of food taken should
depend on the exercise of the person and
the ability to move about

Visiting NI.,garaI Fails.

From tie Cincinnati Enquirer. II
Speculation is often heard as to the num-
Der of visitors to Niagara Falls. Some
light is thrown on the subject by the re-
turns of the electric road running along
the Canadian bank from Queenstown to
Chippewa, through Victoria Park. 1t ap-
pears that the travel for the season up to
November reached about $4,000 passen-
gers. This read skirts tire river all the
way within a few feet CT the edge of the
huff, and is operated by the water power
of the Horse Shoe Fail. the generators be-
ing driven by turbines which receive water
through a canal just above the fall, and
discharge under the veil Of tumbling foam
and spray. The plant is of 5000 horse
power 1t was the first lar Sc utiliza ton of
the energy of Niagara. and it is now pro-
posed to parallel the road with another ON
our own shore, which Shall have the pecli-
lar attrsctiveness of running out on
brackets at the foot of the cliff, and viii
this put the tourist right over the boiling
waves CT the Whirlpool rapids. If 100000
horse power is taken from Niagara for all
classes of work, it is estimated that the
withdrawal of the water from its natural
channel will make q difference of but
one CT two inches in the thick green sheet
falling over the Horseshoe.

i:ct welcomed by relatives or friends were
detained Until communication with them
couid be made, except IN the cases of those

country TO justify their release.
Inc detention was for the period recuir-

STRENGTH OF SNAILS.
An Experiment Showing the Weight
They Can Haul.

1 have a weakness for snails and one
day, having found fine specimen. tied
fine cord around his shell after having fas-
tened a bit of iron to the other end OF the
SINE, in order to keep him until needed
him. The iron was bigger than he was,
and 1 supposed it heavy enough to hold
him, until my attention was attracted by
dragging. scraping sound on the window
sill where 1 had cerralled my captive.
This aroused my curiosity, and 1 deter
mined to find out how much one snail
could pull.
1 loosed the string from the bit Of iron
and made it fast to a letter-scales. and
watched Mr.. Snail as he pulled the indE
Gator around to very nearly nine ounces.
Then / took little matchbox such as
matches are bought in, put it ON two PEN
ellis by way of wheels, and proceeded to
hitch up my snail. 1 then loaded up my
miniature cart with cents and found he
could still pull it up to weight of nine
and quarter ounces, that is, about twenty
times his own weight, which was half an
ounce.
In any country where time is no object,
this new motive power may be of interest
to those studying motors.

At the request of Inspector Hollinberger
the New York police officials arrested there
Yesterday afternoon Irving Bell, young
man of about twenty years Of age, on a
charge of false Iretenses. Bell is said to
have come here from Marlboro, Nd, and
about four or five months ago was arrested
here on suspicion of being connected with
a gang who were working Washington mer-
chants by ordering goods sent to vacant
houses, taking at the time of ordering GER
tain parts of the goods, upon the assurance
that the goods would be paid for when de-
livered. For some reason the charges
against Bell were ignored and he was re-
leased. Recently it was reported to local
police headquarters that Bell had been en-
gagged in obtaining money on bogus checks
from several persons here, the young man,
it was said, inducing the person to cash the
checks after making small purchases.
Saturday evening Detectives Horne and
Boyd located Bell in a hack on c street,
hut he escaped from them.
here, known as Carrie Hastings, former
inmate of the House Of Mercy, 1t is said.

A ROLAND FOR HIS OLIVER.
The Scotch Professor Thought "At

The Scotch Professor Thought "At
Home" a Game Two Could Play At.
From TitBits.
A story has been current among the stu
dents In Aberdeen which showed that, up
to q comparatively recent date, ancient
prejudices were retained by the old-fash-
toned Scotch professors. It related to the
late Principal Prize, who had weakness
for the refinements of life.
Just after ''at home" cards became fash
ionable one of the driest specimens of the
old professional regime was surprised to
receive n missive which read as follows:
"Principal and Mrs. Pirie present their
compliments to Prof. T, and hope he
is we'll Principal and Mrs. Pirie will be
at home on Thursday evening at
o'clock"
This was something which evidently re-
ouircd an answer, but the recipient OF 1t
was quite equal to the emergency. He
wrote:
Prof T returns the compliments OF
Principal and Mrs. Prize. and informs them
that he is very we'll. Prof. T is glad to
hear that Principal and Mrs. Prize viii be
at home on Thursday evening at O'Clock.
Prof T will also be at home"
