CROWNINSHIELD SCOLDs.
Says Naval Heroes Have Not Been
Properly Rewarded.

Washington, Nov. 3.-There are three
features of interest above all in the re-
port of Admiral Crowninshield, chief
of the bureau of navigation. just made
public. First in arraignmeLt of Con-
gresS, because of the failure to reward
the officers recommended for advance
ment as a result of the battles around
Cuba: second, the recommendation for
a change in the present system of re-
ceiving ships, and third, the suggestions
touching the new system of training
landsmen.
Under the first head, the admiral
writes:
Another condition Of affairs dis
couraging to proud and ambitious Off
GERS, who have risked and accomplish
ed much is the ragged and irregular re-
suit that seems an inevitable eOnse-
quenee of any effort to give permanent
or substantial official recognition to
bravery, gallantry or devotion. Before

Long) addressed to the officers of the
North Atlantic fleet, through the ad-
miral, a letter from which the following
is an extract:
Each man engaged in the work of
the in-shOre squadron should have in
him the stuff out of which to make a
possible Cushing; and to the man who
wins, the recognition given him shall be
as great as that given to Gushing, so

NEEDS MORE MEN.
Governor Leary, of Guam, Finds Use
For LARGE Garrison.

San Francisco, Nov. 3.-The Bulletin
publishes direct advices, the first that
have been received here for months,
from the island of Gaum. The adviceS
arrived here on the China and will be
forwarded to Washington as part Of a
report prepared by the officers of the
United States steamer Brutus. The for
eign traders, who controlled the trade
of Guam seem to have vanished and the
place has suddenly opened a fine field
for a limited number of merchants.
There was no trouble at the island
when the letter left, but the natives are
likely to cause some anxiety if the
Spanish aeitatOrs are not taken in
hand. Governor Leary, who ranks as
lieutenant in the navy, found matters
in a very unsatisfactory condition when
he arrived last August. The SpaniardS
had been telling the natives all manner
of tales about Americans and led some
of the savages to believe that the sold
iers would make slaves of them
A revolt was ripe and had not the
governor caused the arrest of several
trouble DrovokeFs a rebellion might
have been started.
The governor and men are at Agana,
the capital of Guam and that is the
only town garrisoned. About 300 more
men are needed to insure perfect quiet,
as evil influences may be used to ex-
cite the natives, who are, however, nat
urally a docile people. Land which sold
for as low as SO and $15 per acre has
suddenly advanced to over 800. Before
the governor came foreigners were
grabbing everything in sight, knowing
that American rule would mean a boom
for Agana. The governor was then
forced to issue a proclamation in which
it was decreed that none but American
citizens should hold land in the island.
Many of the natives have sworn allegl-
ance to the government and are very
respectful to the flag.
Governor Leary is establishing a local
form of government for Agana and is
also making laws to govern the outside
stations of the island.

CITY Sold to a Railroad.

TF'rom the Atlanta Constitution
The Chesapeake Point Lookout rail-
road has just acquired st. Mary's City,
the original capital of Maryland. 1t is
the latest historical spot to pass into
the hands of corporation. The city
is situated on the St. Mary's river,
southern Maryland.
In addition to this, the company has
purchased the adjoining estate, with
the colonial manor house known as
"ROsecrOft, familiar to so many Wash
ingtOnians.
In 1898 the citizens of Maryland erect
ed at st. Mary's a granite mOnument
to the memory of Lord Baltimore and
Leonard Calvert, which marks the
place where grew the mulberry tree IN
der which Leonard Calvert signed the
treaty with the Indians.
st. Mary's City was not only the first
settlement in Maryland, but was also
the capital until just 200 years ago,
1899, when 1t was removed to Annapolis.
Today it is still remote and romantic,
sighted by Leonard Calvert. 1t is forty
miles from a telegraph station, and is
visited only three times week by
boats. Stones outline the site where
once stood the old frame court house
built by Calvert. A colonial mansion,
now used as a young ladies' seminary
and pOStOffice combined, a little Epfs-
copal church and its rectory. and an old
graveyard, filled with weather beaten
headstones, dating back to the seven
teenth century, comprise all that is left
of a once prosperous and happy city,
Rosecroft is located in the immediate
neighbOrhood of the Jesuit villa of St
InigOes. It is built of brick, brought
over from England. It's stOne-hoored
porches extend the whole length of the
house, which is surrounded by an old
fashioned Dutch garden. Some years
ago it was used as a Sacred Heart con-
vent, but was subsequently bought by
Captain Kennedy, an Englishman, who
occupied Rosecroft as a private resi-
dence until its recent purchase by the
railroad.
In 1888 Leonard Calvert and a party
of Catholic gentlemen sailed from Eng
land to find a place where they could
practice their religion unmolested. They
landed near the mouth of the Potomac
river, where they bought of the Indians
q, village and named it St Mary's. Dur
ing March of 1884 the settlement was
begun, immigrants poured in, and thus
was established the commonwealth of
Maryland.

AFTER THEY SEE
How Elections Go Democrats VIII
Issue an Address.

Chicago. Nov. 3.-The Record says:
The meeting of the national Democratic
executive committee in Chicago, No
Vember 20, is to be a double -barreled
affair. 1t will bring about a meeting OF
the committee and conference of lead
ers of the national party. Colonel Will
lam ]. Bryan will be in the city at that
time and senators and national repre-
sentatives on their way to Washington
from the west will spend a few days in
this city to meet eastern and southern
Democrats, who are expected to gather
here November 20. 1t is probable that
an address to the Democrats of the
country will be issued by the commit
tee after the party leaders have held a
conference. The character of this ad-
dress will depend upon the results of
the several state elections on TUESDAY.

man honesty. At other points he has
overcome a national weakness. His
mastery of men never deceives him
into deriding a greater power.
"A member of the Dutch Reformed
church, he attends constantly with his
family when in ST. Paul, the House of
Hope Presbyterian church. He is
ever the friend of religion, and his
caution, thrift and success has not

which blights the blossom of wealth.

to make q spectacular endowment.

Then he is interested in reviews and

He is not a man of thorough culture.

He can felicitate himself upon hav-

The relations of this family to

COWS MILK AND BABIES
Not Always a Happy Combination.

Never give babies much sugar
Mothers milk contains the right
amount of sugar, while cows milk is
n little deficient in the necessary
amount. Therefore, when cows milk
is fed, the addition of trifing amount
of sugar is admissible. There are
certain elements found in mothers
milk that are also found in wheat and
barley which nature has prepared for
human use.
A food expert connected with the
Postum Cereal company, limited, at
Battle Greek, Mich, has made use of
this knowledge and prepared from
these grains, in very skillful man
ner, naturally predigested food,
having been treated by the same pro-
cesses mechanically that the human
system uses naturally to perform the
change in the food which takes place
in the first act of digestion.
This has been given the name of
'Marjorie's Baby Food" and is used
by stirring into rich cows milk No
cooking whatever is required, either
of the baby food or of the cows milk,
but the blending Of the two fit the
cows milk for baby's digestion and
piCfChto Iuc lOEIldIIOU Oh Gurus,
which cause collie, indigestion and
bowel trouble.
The economy of the new food is
worth considering, while it's effect
upon the baby is of the most satisfac-
tory character to a mother No one
knows as well as the mother herself
how anxious she is about the food the
baby has, when from necessity the
little one is deprived of the mothers
milk. 1t is, therefore, a source of
satisfaction to mother to feel that
the food given her infant has been
prepared by food experts-those who
know what the human system re-
quires, where it can be obtained from
the natural food supplied by nature
and how to prepare it tor the easy di-
gestion of the infant.
"Marjorie's Baby Food is pro-
duct of scientific investigation and
skillful selection and preparation.
The proof of its value is shown by
the healthy condition of the baby after |

seldom in the newspapers. He ap-

Summit avenue, is not notable.
His business offices are n few

IL he knows you well, he'll probably
tell you joke on himself. And his Ian
guage, his manner, will convey the
impression that somehow he's CRATE
