What do the Children DRINK

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O?
1t is delicious and nourishing and takes the
place of coffee. The more Grain-O you
give the children the more health you
distribute through their systems. Grain.O
is made of pure grains, and when properly
prepared tastes like the choice grades Of
coffee but costs about u as much. All
grocers sell It. 15c. and 25c.

A stomachful of undiges.ed food is about
as unhealthy mass as one can well imagine.
What can be done with it

There 1t stays. 1t won't digest II
cburns up, ferments and decays; becomes
poisonous (as all putrld matter does) and
causes great pain and deep seated disorders.
In order to change all this, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial
1t stops fermentation and decay at once,
so that no more poisons are created
1t clears the stomach of poisons already
there. 1t helps 1t to turn the food that re-
mains, into healthful nourishment. 1t
strengthens the stomach for the next meal.
Here is the whole philosophy and cure of
indigestion In few words. And what's
more, is all true. Try 1t.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is for sale by
druggists, price 10 cents to 81. 90 per bottle.

One has only to observe that Belgian exter-

America to see that it is no test at all Of the
productive ability of the two nations. Ac-
cording to this exploded theory of exports

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS the Inauguration now comes apace a
word upon the subject of brass bands Will
not go amiss. Though the playing of bands
may be considered by some only an in
inferior matter, there are those who trace
no lineage among the Hottentots, and to
them should be accorded the respect that
is their due. Now 1t may be inconsistent,
and, no doubt, sounds frivolous for me to
mention it, but every one l have ever in
my life met has said. "a band always stops
playing when ii reaches me-" The singu-
larity of this can be explained without re-
course to a philosophy; but the main fault
can be attributed to the old. motto, those
in authority have everything arranged
However, rather than run any risks, ven
ture to suggest a plan, viz: Let bands
march AT regular intervals. the alternate
bands always playing at the same time.
When one complement of bands has ceased
its strain the other Is to begin. The effect
of this is as wonderful as it's conception.
At no point on the line of march will the
sounds of instruments completely die
away. We have no doubt that everything g
has been arranged. but unless sonnet hin g
is really done the Same old bitches will oc-

A POPULAR PRIEST.
Father Mnckin Warmly Welcomed by
His Practitioners.

The parishioners- of st. Paurs Roman
Catholic Church extended a glad and en-
thusiastic welcome last night to their pas
tor, Rev. Father James F. Mackin on his
return from Rome, where he went several
weeks ago in company with Archbishop
keane and Rev. Father Gloyd of St. Pat
rick's Church. There are few clergymen
who have such a warm place in the hearts
OF their f1ocks as Father Mackin, and this
has always been the case ever since he
took holy orders. Many years ago he was
stationed at Rockville, and there attained
a popularity among persons of all creeds
that yet exists. When assistant here at
st. Matthews ne was similarly favored,
and ever since he has been in charge Of
st. Paufs he has been beloved widely as
he is esteemed. Consequently 1t was not
surprising that his return was made the
occasion of a demonstration. He was es
corted over from Baltimore yesterday af-
ternoon by delegation of his parishioners
and met at the depot by another. Upon
arriving at the parish residence, on V
street, he was met by the st. Paul's Drum
Corps and a great crowd. and for an hour
held reception which was attended by
many Protestants, as well as Catholics
rather Mackin reports Archbishop Keane
In good health, and says there is no fric-
ton in Rome over the affairs Of the Amer

COMPRESSED AIR.
w. keslcy SchOepf Tells of the Eek
fngtOn Roads Hopes.

w. Kesley Schoepf, receiver for the Eek
ington and Belt Line railroads, was at the
Commissioners office this morning in quest
of a permit for the overhead construction
of the Maryland and Washington railroad,
which operates in the District along Rhode
Island avenue between 4th street and the
District line. He explained that the con-
tract for the trolley construction had been
awarded to the White-Crosby Company of
New York and that a car would be run
over the line on the I'd day of March, the
day the charter right of the company ex-
pires.
Concerning the lexington and Belt rail-
10 operate compressed air car over the
line by the 4th of next March. The Com
pressed Air Power Company, which con-
'trolled the Hoadleyknight motor had con-
sehted to furnish him car equipped and
ready for use, without cost to the COM
pany, and he had accepted the offer. The
car would be here in a few days and ope-
rated during the first week in March He
was convinced from q careful study of the
SITUATION that compressed air was the mo-
tive power of the future Some months
ago he did not believe such power was
practice Bile. but since he had seen the
Headley-knight motor he was satisfied
that compressed air was not only practical
BILE, but the motive power of the future to
the use of which all roads would eyentu-
ally come.

ed TO accept the presidency of Washington

his new duties. In the interval to July he
will be occupied in putting various business
matters in order for his removal to Lex

Washington during that time. after which
his house here and his old home at Charles
town, W. Va. will be rented. The salary
of the presidency Washington and Lee Is
understood to be 5000. with the use of a
fine old presidential mansion. Hitherto the
salary has been $1,000. the advance having
been made an inducement to Mr.. Wilson
to accept the place. He had several offers
and had seriously considered an opportunity
to go to New York and practice law. Mr.
G.. w. c. Lee, who retres from the presi
dency OF Washington and Lee, is the son of
Gen. Robert +. Lee and succeeded his faith
er as president of the university. His re-
tirement is made necessary by his advanc-

Academy OF Music.-In 'Jane Eyre
given at the Academy of Music last night,
Miss Eugene Blair scored quite as distinc
hit as she made in the production Of
East Lynne" presented the first part of
the week. Both of these works have been
rather roughly treated in past years, but
the way in which Miss Blair handled the
title role of the former last night made up
in some measure for past deficiencies. Her
conception and her treatment of the char
acteristics of the friendless girl al
most without fault, and although Jane
Eyre" Is a play in which 1t is very possible
to allow forced emotions to appear, 1t may
be said that Miss Blair was at all times
natural artistic and intelligent in the ex-
treme The characteristics that attended
the production of East Lynne'-smooth-
ness and excellent stage management-were
in evidence last night, and the whole work
was studied produc ton of the old-time
favorite. After Miss Blair, Mr.. Edwin
Ferry deserves praise for his reading Of

oratory that is at the command of this

Impressions it receives, Col Ingersoll is a
born orator. Not only is he an orator, but
profound thinker and scholar as well.
He has spent many years among books,
and the knowledge he has gained from
them. supplemented by his close observa-
tfon of the lessons taught by nature, has
armed him for the lecture platform In the
highest possible degree. Impatient of the
superstitious platitudes that too often take
the place of reasonable explanation, the
colonel goes straight to the point in his
discourses, and there is never any doubt
as to what he means. He despises hum
bug-with all the thoroughness of an honest
man. and when he utters his fiercest de-
nunciation 1t is directed against some inn
pudent pretense. A great outpouring of the
votaries of eloquence will greet the mag
