CHEERED 4DMTRAL DEWEY.
J. D. WeIch Was the First New H"ven-
 CT to See Him Yesterday.

J. D. Welch of 209 Orchard street member of the firm of D. M. Welch & Son. was probably the first New Haven- CT to see Admiral Dewey yesterday at- ter he arrived and anchored in the low CT bay at New York. MT. Welch was In New York and shortly after noon left New York on the steamer Sandy Hook' which was the first boat to sight and salute the Olympia after she rounded the Hook yesterday morning. MT. Welch was was on the steamer Sandy Hook on
 her return trip to Atlantic Highlands after she sighted the Olympia while on her way from the Highlands to New l York in the morning.
 | MT. Welch arrived in New Haven last evening and said the steamer Sandy | Hook when he was on her, steamed up | to within fifty feet of the Olympia. He said that Admiral Dewey, with group l of officers, stood at the stern of the | warship and as the Sandy Hook came close to his vessel, the passengers of the the steamer cheering, throwing hats and | canes into the air, women waving hand | kerchiefs and every one overcome With
 enthusiasm, Admiral Dewey took off his
 hat and bowed, and then, evidently thinking that the passengers of the
 smaller boat would not know which was
 he, he stepped out from the group of
 officers and again took off his hat and bowed
 | MT. Welch said that the Sandy Hook
 was so close to the Olympia that Ad- 1 miral Dewey and his men could be
 plainly seen, and had it not been for the pandemonium that reigned on the
 steamer her passengers could have
 talked with those on the Olympia He
 says that the sailors on the Olympia l lined up along the cruisers rail and sa- luted.
 No other New Havener was aboard the Sandy Hook at the time, and MT Welch undoubtedly enjoys the distinc-
 tion of being the first one from this city to see the great admiral after his re- ! turn

Some Hints on Food.

A man tried leaving off meat pota- toes and coffee for breakfast and adopt cd a breakfast of fruit, a dish of Grape Nuts with cream and cup of Postum Cereal food coffee.
 His health began to improve at once for the reason that meat eater will reach place once in while where his system seems to become clogged and the machinery don't work smoothly.
 A change of this kind puts aside food of low nutritive value and takes up food and drink of the highest value, already partly digested and capable of being quickly changed into good, rich blood and strong tissue. The most able feature of both Grape-Nuts and Postum is the natural phosphate ot potash obtained from the grains ana this product is the element which transforms albumen in the body into the soft gray substance which fllls brain and nerve centers. few days use of Grape Nuts and Postum will give one a degree of nervous strength well worth the trial. r.

dam to the roadway leading into the
basin, distance of about one and one
quarter miles Up the Platte the water Of
the lake will extend about seven miles,
with side shoots up many pretty little
gulches, the largest of which will become
a miniature bay two and one-half miles
long and a few hundred feet wide. Up
Goose Creek, whose meager apology for
basin is separated, half a mile from the
dam, from the Platte basin by granite
mountain 500 feet in height, the waters of
the reservoir will extend fully three miles.
So slight is the fall of the Platte at that
point that in its basin the water, which
will be 200 feet deep at the daIn will be $50
feet deep three miles away, and 80 feet
deep at six miles. 1t must not, however,
be understood that this depth will be pre-
served for any great breadth, for the
basin slopes sharply at almost all points,
one-half mile in width. Throughout it's
extent the lake will be dotted with gran
lite islands, capped by majestic pine trees
All in all, it will be as attractive q body
Of water as any in the world, and sur
rounded by mountains of from 5000 to
1900 feet, and by awe-inspiring gorges, it
would ordinarily become a great resort
Intended, however, as a storage reservoir
for the citizens of Denver it will be most
zealously guarded from even the faintest
suspicion Of contamination by its own
ers, and excursion parties will be rigidly
excluded from approach at any point.
The dam itself which, as has been said,
will be 210 feet high and may easily be
raised to 230 feet, will be a marvel of its
kind. 1t will be hardly 25 feet from side
to side at the base, and for some 80 feet
upward will not exceed so feet in frontage
Then it will slope gradually outward on
