it's marchings and counter-marchings,
would fill a volume. But at length the
plucky young men reached Roraima
with their equipment intact. Then the
actual work Of the expedition COM
menced. They attacked the mountain
by a perilous but direct ridge on the
southwestern face which they had
vainly essayed to follow with their i'm
perfect equipment in 1894, and by
which Mr.. Thurn had gained the
outer summit lodges previously. This
is the only available way, and it affords
one of the stiffest bits of mountain
climbing in the world.
With great difficulty this bridge, q
veritable Mohammed's bridge from
earth to heaven, was crossed and camp
equipments, instruments, etc., got up
to the summit. Roraima was then mas
tered. The expedition spent nine days
on the spot, thoroughly exploring it,
collecting specimens and taking pho
tographs. Mr.. Quelch in his first gen.
eral report says that there is now no
longer anything mysterious" about
Roraima, except it be the wonderful
forms of the great rocks that are the
most characteristic feature. They Sc
cured an immense collection of rare
and curious plants, beetles and insects,
and out of 449 birds three are unknown
species; but of animal life there was
no other trace than a small rat that
committed suicide in a bucket, and
that possibly accompanied them up in
a provision case. The climate is dis
agreeably cold and damp.
Below the mountain the climate is
one of the most delightful in the trop-
les, the land is rich and the region may
have a great future before it. But at
present there is little animal life. and
the Indians subsist almost wholly on
cassava, coushie ants and grasshop-

HEROISM UNHERALDED.
Work of the Inmates of MauIsby
Home for Boys,

During the late bliZzard-not the unan-
nounced furry Of March 7, but the histori-
cal one of February-there were many un-
recorded deeds Of heroism, and a number
of rescues of people. accounts of which
never found their way into print. One of
these incidents was at the corner of C and
Sd streets, where the Maulsby Home for
Children and Newsboys is located. There
are several lads in that institution of the
stuff of which the nations fighting men are
made. AS night drew on, after the awful
day of snow and wind, the superintendent
of the home had the shutters on the two
exposed sides of the house thrown omen
the fires In the CRATES refed, the gas lets
turned on full head
Out into the wild. dark night the friendly
beams shed welcoming glow over the
snow drifts, and sat every window an
anxious face appeared,nas the bows took
turns standing guard OVER the lives of he
lated wanderers. Whenthey saw any one
disappear in the huge piles drifted against
the fences they rushed out and literally
dug out and carried him into the warm
parlors. One man thus rescued was so ex-
hausted from his battle with the wind and
of hard rubbing and hot coffee to bring hin,
round. Had the boys not seen him he would
certainly have perished.
Until far into the night they kept their
vigil and did their duty'4ilik fearless men.
They were life savers without a hone of
reward. They expected no gold medals nor
honorable mention in the newspapers. but
didn't even expect any thanks from The
rescued-they simply did their duty.

made statement in relation to the Wilson
Park bill. Mr.. Randle explained that the
members of the association had a wrong
IDEA entirely concerning the proposed ex-
tension of the asylum walls to Congress
Heights, under the provisions of the bill
for purchase of the park. The walls would
have been built far down from the village,
he said, and the frontage on Nichols ave-
nue. would have been made into a beauti-
full public, open park. Then, he continued,
Mr.. r. 7. Wilson of New York intended
to erect magnificent hotel building close
by with the money received from the sale
of the park. The bill, said Mr. RandIe,
would certainly have passed Congress had
1t not been for an error made therein in
describing the property, which was not dis
believed the bill would be passed at the
next session of Congress.
The report of the committee selected to
represent the association in conjunction
with the other committees arranging for
the Washington peace jubilee was received
through Mr.. Bender, who stated that he
was present Saturday evening last at the
meeting of the central committee on the
jubilee. He spoke of the progress being
made. He described a float which he con-
sidered to be appropriate for the associa-
tion to display in the procession. Secretary
Emmons advised that the people of Anacos-
tia be asked to take part. Mr.. Gillin sug-
gested that the members of the association
procure mounts on the day of the parade
and follow in cavalcade after their float.
The committee was instructed to confer
with the chairman of the civic program of
the jubilee and make whatever arrange
ments were considered best by the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Randle pointed out that Omaha
street, 7th street and other streets of the
suburb were in need of improvements, and
that some of the cutters along various
streets needed attention. Secretary EN-
mons was instructed to communicate with
the Commissioners about these matters
The association adjourned until Tuesday

ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS.
Order Directing Arrest of NOn-Rcsf-
dents Under Suspicion.

Soon after Maj. Sylvester took charge OF
the police department he issued orders di-
recting the enforcement of the vagrancy
law against non-residents who were found
Under suspicious conditions. This order the
officers have endeavored to obey, and some
of the persons who were arrested under it
proved to be crooks from other localities,
who were either deprived of their liberty
or forthwith returned to their homes. In
several instances it is known that robber-
les were actually prevented in this way.
Several times the prisoners turned out to be
runaway boys, who were restored to their
parents.
Because of the good work done by the
officers in this direction, Maj Sylvester as
heretofore published in The Star, decided
to afford the citizens extra precaution by
detailing men for duty at the depots. This
was done and these officers have also made
several important arrests.
1t has occasionally happened that the off,
GERS have been mistaken in overhauling peo-
pie. Some Of them regarded the mistakes
as jokes and one appreciative citizen said
he was glad to know that the officers were
so active. An apology. he said, was not
needed. and, indeed, he was willing at all
times to aid the police. Others, however,
did not regard the mistakes as Jokes, and
1t is stated that one citizen has already en-
tered complaint against officers.

Acid dyspepsia. commonly called heartburn or

from fermentation Of the food. The stomach being

ST. EDWARD, Neb.. Dec. 2O.-(Special
Telegram,)-A 4-year-old son of william
Cruise, who lives west OF St. Edward, was
shot and killed by his 5-year-old brother
this morning. Mrs. Cruise had loaded the
gun and placed it under the bed. Her hus-
band was absent during the night. The boy
got up in the morning while his mother was
busy preparing breakfast and pulled the gun
out from under the bed and handed 1t to
his brother, who was still in bed, telling
him to play he was a soldier and snap it,
which he did. The contents entered the
boys head just above the right eye. Medical
aid was summoned, but he died in short
time.
