TRAINING FOR BOYS.
A Few Words as to Diet, Sleep and
Exercise.

The system of dieting used at most
of our large colleges best represents
modern ideas, At Yale the crew. eleven,
nine and track athletes eat almost pre-
cisely the same things. The daily fare
includes almost anything that boy
would find on his own home table, and
everything is of the very best of it's
kind. Toasted bread is used instead of
the ordinary kinds, oatmeal water
merely because it is safer, having been
boiled) instead of the ordinary liquid,
while coffee tea. pastry, rolls, biscuit
and heavy cloying sweets Of all kinds
are. of course, forbidden. These are
almost the only differences between
training and ordinary fare. Soup and
desserts of a simple kind, such as rice
and bread buildings, two articles that
are sternly prohibited by many of the
boy Captains at preparatory schools.
are usually present on college training
tables.
In fact, a boy should make no espa-
cial difference in his diet when prepar-
ing for athletics. If certain article
disagrees with him he should give it
up, and he should never allow himself
to eat or drink between meals; these
are the only cautions to be observed
IN eating. If a boy be fond of milk,
let him drink it at his morning and
evening meals; not at noon, however.
But here warning is needed. A quart
OF milk is almost equivalent to a pound
OF meat, and it is an easy thing to
take too much of it and swallow more
nufriment than the system can assim-
ilate. Milk should be slipped slowly.
not poured down by whole glassfuls.
In drinking water, distinction should
be made between the true thirst and

ing After exercising violently, If a
boy feels that he is too thirsty to wait
until hts next meal, let him rinse his
throat and mouth and gargle the water.

FOUNTAIN MURDER TRIAL.

FOUNTAIN MURDER TRIAL.
The Case Assumes a Somewhat SEN

| HILLSBORO IN. NJ, May 31.-The
Fountain murder trial began to assume
a somewhat sensational phase to-day
when Jack Maxwell, whom the prosecu-

On redirect examination Maxwell

JEWS IN PALESTINE.
What the Turkish Minister Says on
the Subject.

Ali Ferrough Bey, the Turkish minister
here, takes a deep interest in the PROPOSE
ton for the purchase and occupation OF
Palestine by free Jewish nation. He has
authorized a statement of his views on the
subject, as follows:
There seems to be a prevailing idea ir
this country that only monetary consid.
GRAFTON is involved in this plan now being
agtated in high Hebrew circles over the
proposed purchase of Palestine. | have no.
ticed that all the press accounts dwell on
the fact that the Hebrews are able to raise
millions ad lnfinitum and with these mil
lions the sale of Palestine is then assured
Il can assure the American people that
such is not the state of affairs. The sub
lime porte does not desire to sell any part
of its Arabian country, and no matter how
many millions of gold are offered this de-
termination will not be altered. This state
ment is the official reply from Constanti-
nople to many Turkish ENJOYS who have
been asked to sound the government on this
point.
There appears TO be an opinion among
the American people that our government
is IN need OF fnanclal assistance. This is a
grave error. At no time since the Crirnean
war has Turkey been so well equipped as to
her monetary apparatus. Our public debt
has been yearly decreased until now it is
but a trifle. So rapidly are our revenues
increasing that we about to change our
fiscal system in order to meet the growing
demands. The purchase of Palestine thus
becomes political question and not one of
swelling our eXchequer.
THE present agitation to establish a
free home for the Hebrew race within the
confines of the old promised land the his
toric patrimony Of Abraham, seems to me
a very chimerical proposition. l cannot
understand why the Jews under the Turk
iSh sovereignty should be more discomfort
ed than the subjects of other countries.
Il know that they hold that they are
prosecuted and oppressed in some lands
but such is not the case in ours. The Jew
ish people under the Turkish sultan are
prosperous, happy and contented. Scores
of them hold high government positions
In their private and individual pursuits
they are never troubled.
Now, the Turkish government does not
consider it wise to change this state of
affairs for one which could not fail to
cause political and economic confusion. 1t
must not be considered that personally
am hostile to the plan. ] merely voice the
official sentiments of the Constantinople
foreign office
But do not think it fair to encourage
by silence false hopes. the realization Of
which would only lead to trouble and en-
barrassment for a nation which has GER
tainly never prosecuted the Hebrew race
If the promoters of the plan would heed
this advice l know 1t will save their CO.
religionists in Europe and Asia troubles
and disappontments hereafter"

TRIAL OF LEE GASkINS.
Large Crowd Attracted to Court
JaiIer Criticised.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
FORT MEYER HEIGHTS, Va,
April "a, 1890.
Not since the dedication of the new court
house last fall has such a crowd been wit
messed there as gathered this morning at
the opening session of the Alexandria coun-
ty court for the April term. The second
trial of Lee Gaskins, recently convicted be-
fore Judge Love on charge of attempted
train wrecking. was set for today, and I'M
usual interest was shown in the case.
Prior to the opening of the Gaskins trial,
Mr. J. G. De Pruton of Falls Church pre-
scented to the court a protest signed by
Mayor Hawkhurst setting forth alleged
illegal action by Jailer Nourse in the pre-
mature dismissal from custody of Henry
Thurston, recently convicted before the
mayors court of assault with intent to
kill. a fine of $40 and Imprisonment for
twenty days in Jail had been imposed by
the Falls Church authorities, while Thurs
ton. it appears, had been released from
Jail on the fourteenth day of his imprison-
ment.
Judge Love heard the statements of
Sheriff Palmer and Jailer Nourse to the
effect that ThurstOn was i'll when released,
and disposed of the matter by directing the
sheriff to secure the fine in the case or
rearrest ThurstOn for contempt of court.
The Gaskins trial was next taken up, and
Attorney Flanagan addressed the court on
his motion for a change of venue, an affi-
davit of the prisoner being filed in support
of his contention. Assistant Common
wealth Attorney c. c. Corlin opposed the
motion. which was finally overruled by
Judge Love and an exception noted by the
defense.
The following We're sworn as jurymen:
John S. Emery. Charles Price, Henry
Goings, Joseph Oleson, William Marcy,
