Washington Well Fortified.

In view of the fact that the national
capital was once taken and burned by
foreign enemy il is reassuring to know
likely to occur again, even in case Of
sudden war.
Washington is the best defended city
in the country. A hostile fleet could
not now ascend the Potomac, as was
done in 1914, when President Madison
and his wife were compelled to make
hurried escape across the Potomac to
avoid capture by the British
For military and prudential reasons
little has been allowed to be made
known concerning the new works and
the heavy ordnance recently installed
below the city, but for some years en-.
gineers have been busy at the river
forts Some very formidable guns are
now in position there, and system of
torpedo defenses has been perfected
which would render the approach of an
enemy's warships within l2 miles Of
Washington practically impossible.
The defensive works are located at
the 'elbow," or turn, of the Potomac
where old Fcrts Washington and Sheri-
dan stood, and where at one point the
channel for vessels of deep draft is but
800 yards wide.
The guns are protected on the water
side by emplacement walls Of stone and
concrete 10 feet thick, and On the land
side by redoLbts for infantry.
The rapidly increasing wealth and
importance of Washington, the grand
new public bull lings and the vast sums
of money ard bullion in the treasury
render these protective and defensive
measures matter Of national impor-
tance and necessity. Youths Compan-

Manted a Meal.

Several days ago." says the Ohio
State Journal, Congressman Watson
sent several large sacks of flower and
garden seeds home for distribution
among his constituents The papers an
nounced this fact, and for three days
past there has been constant stream Of
persons coming to the congressman g
law office in Columbus. On Saturday a
man came up and asked for beans. He
was given two packages. He demurred
to this and reached over into the sack
and began to fill his pockets. When
called down by the attendant, the lover
of beans said: Il haven't got enough
for mess yet. 1t takes more than a
quart of beans TO make mess for my

and mingled with these sounds were
the cheers of the sailors, the shouting of
the troops, the rumbling of wheels and
the shrieks of steam whistles. The
bright sun, shining through clear sky
upon the scene, cast its sheen upon the
water, was reflected from the FURNISHED

brought out with increased brilliancy
the gay colors Of the waving banners.
The calmly flowing river reflected the
blue of the heavens and mirrored on its
