Marines nj the DroolIyn Navy Yard
Sought 20 stop Ills
progruSa.

Lord Charles Beresford has returned
to England well equipped with material
for good story about how he fooled
the alert marines at the Brooklyn navy
yard, with the assistance of an auto
cab. Lord Charles had an engagement
before he sailed to visit the navy yard
He had informed Commodore Philip,
commandant of The yard of the time
he was TO arrive, and the commodore
telephoned instructions to the Sand
street gate TO admit Lord Charles and
his carriage without question. lie or
dered, further, that the marines on
duty at the gate should line up and
stand at attention as the rear admiral
OF the English navy rode in.
Down through the mud of Sand street
came bowling alone communicating
horseless cab. The sharp-eyed sentry
paid no attention whatever to the auto
cab, which audaciously ran through the
gate and was several yards into the
grounds before the sergeant of marines
ran out and stopped it. Back up" or
dered the sergeant of marines. There's
never been n horseless carriage in this
navy yard, and there won't be while
I'm here"
So the man on the cab began ma
neuvering to back out the gate, when
a large, good-natured face protruded
from the cab window.
II guessyou don't know me-" said the
owner of the face, smilingly. "I'm
Beresford."
The sergeant of marines retained
presence of mind enough to refrain
from fainting, the guard poured out
and stood at attention and the tri-
umphant man on the cab steered his
buzzing vehicle into the yard, where
Commodore PhiliD met his guest.

GRAIN-O BRINGS RELIEF

to the coffee drinker Coffee drinking
is habit that is universally INDUCED
in and almost as universally injurious.
Have you tried Grain-O? lt is almost
like coffee but the effects are just OPP
posite. Coffee upsets the stomach,
ruins the digestion, effects the heart
and disturbs the whole nervous system.
Grain-O tones up the stomach, aids di-
gestion and strengthens the nerves.
There is nothing but nourishment in
Grain-O. 1t can't be otherwise. 15c
and 25c, per package.

The boats for today will be the

President and Speaker.

President Mckinley and Speaker
Reed are now near neighbors. One is
at Thomasville, Ga. and the other hard
by at Jekyl island. They are likely to
meet, and Washington reports say
that an attempt will be made to effect
a reconciliation between them.
There has never been a definite
break of frindship between the speak
er and the president, but their rela-
tions have been strained ever since the
Minneapolis convention of 1892, which
made / plain that their presidential
ambitions, like those of Blaine and
Conkling, Hamilton and Burr, were
bound to clash.
Whatever may be thought of the
two men individually their relations to
the great affairs of the American peo-
pie at the present ime compel recogni-
tiOn of the fact that there has been no
great issue realised in the new era of
national affairs on which Speaker
Reed has not been in opposition to the
Republican party and its leaders in the
Whitehouse aud Cabinet. While Pres
ident Mckinley has responded to the
impulses Of public sentiment the
speaker has been as Indifferent to the
demands of the people as if he were a
again he has obstructed Republican
legislation more persistently than
Samuel Randall ever obstructed it in
the days of his greatest power in the
speakers chair. This attitude he
maintained throughout both regular
sessions of the last congress, and there
are no signs today of any change for
the better. In fact, so blind is Mr.
Reed in his own conceit that if he
should be again elevated to the speak
ership he doubtless would interpret
his election as an endorsement of his
obstructive policy
AS the official head of the Republi-
can party William MchInley cannot
afford to be Indifferent to a matter of
such momentous importance as Mr..
Reeds opposition. Colonial affairs
will be to the next congress what the
tariff was to the extra session of the
last congress. If Mr.. Reed had been
as unfrlendly to protection as he is to
expansion there would have been very
little choice between Thomas B. Reed
and Joseph w. Bailey for the speaker
ship, and there will be little choice be-
tween them in the next congress unless
the gentleman from Maine shall alter
his present course. This is a prospect
that the President must face and reck-
on with. II he has at hand sufficient
power he is in duty bound to prevent
a recurrence of that reckless egotism
which defeated the territorial organi-
cation of Hawaii the Nicaragua canal
bill, and the bill for the Pacific cable.
Many questions OF wide scope will con-
front the Fifty-sixth congress, and thus
far Mr.. Reed has shown no disposition
to fall into harmonious relations with
the Republican party on any of them.
1t may be that he can be moved to
change his policy If not his convic-
tions. More probably ne will change
neither, in which case 1t will be well
that the administration shall have
learned in advance what must be done
to assert the power of the people and
the president against the Vaccinations
