CLEVELAND AGREES WITH HAY
Is i'm Favor of the Naturalization OF
the Canal.

Princeton, y. J., March S0.-E-Presi-
dent Cleveland today relaxed his custom
airy reserve as to the discussion of pub
lie affairs, and in the course of an in
terview expressed himself in approval Of
the Hay-Pauneefote treaty for the mater
ialization of the Nicaraguan canal. Mr..
Cleveland added that he hoped the treaty
would be ratified Mr.. Cleveland said:
with reference to the canal across Mic
aragua, have always thought that
whatever was done in its promotion by
the government Of the United States
should be done as a contribution by it
to the cause of progress and advancing
civilization. 1t has seemed to me that
we had gained that position among the
nations of the world that would make it
appropriate for US, in accordance with
the spirit of our institutions, to make
such a contribution. This. of course,
means the absolute naturalization of the
Nicaragua construction, and, since the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty is directly in line
with this sentiment, am, Of course,
strongly in favor of its ratification"

co This surolus Is accounted for by

that jackpot should be formed with a
thousand dollars ''anteed'' by each. That
started things off with 5000 in the CEN
tire, and it is said that the deal passed
twice without openers being out Each
zeal each of the players "sweetened''

pot was finally broken there was 1920
IN sight. Mr.. Gates, being first to speak,
guessed that his hand was worth $500,
and after Mr.. Drake had dropped out
Mr. Smith guessed that his cards were
also worth $1,000
Young Mr.. Letter was seen to be ner-
vously lingering the hand that had been
dealt to him. He showed symptoms of
Dame Fortune. He offered the opinion
that his friends could each have another
guess. Then he pushed $4,000 to the CEN
ire.
Mr.. Gates was thoughtruI He didn't
like the loks of his young antagonist
neither did he like to lay down the three
fours with which he had opened. Finally
he called
Mr.. Smith followed with that prompt
ness which always marks his poker play
ing. When the call for cards was given
the three men had $1,000 for which to
struggle.
The opener called for one card, hold
ing ten spot to his three fours Mr..
Smith also drew one card. while Letter
said that he saw no chance Of helping
the hand which he held by drawing to
it
Mr.. Gates and Mr.. Smith looked happy.
Before glancing at the card which he
had drawn Mr.. Gates threw a hundred
dollar check to the centre Mr.. Smith
glanced at his draw and placed his hand
in the deck indicating that he had been
trying to help a short flush or a four
straight
Letter looked across at his old friend,
and remembering the wheat deal and
Mr.. Armour. remarked: John, when
man has reached your age he should quit
his bad habits. There is only one way to
break a man from playing poker, and
that is 10 make it too extensive for him
1t will cost you just $4,000 to see my
cards.
With that, the young man who had once
made a wheat pit look like an Austerlitz
pushed enough money to the centre to
make his words good
His opponent then looked at the card
he had drawn. 1t was a nine. Still, he
was not satisfied that he was beaten. He
had known Letter to bluff before, and
it took him quite five minutes to make
up his mind to '1ay down. Drawing 8
long sigh, he finally said:
Zoe, 1 guess you have 'em. I'll quit
As required, Mr.. Gates being the OPEN
er, showed his hand, Then Letter could
no. restrain the impulse to chuckle. He
showed down two sevens, an ace, trey,
and king.
1t had been superb bluff. successful

From that moment the game went Lei

for five days and five nights.
During that time millions of dollars had
changed hands, being shuffled back and

Lord Roberts army has completely
surrounded the retreating Beers at
Koodoesrand Drift, and Commandant
Cronje, with his back to the wall, is
making a splendid defence, which,
however, the latest dispatches indi-
cate, is forlorn hope. The Boer
force, which is estimated to number
5000 men, are intrenched in the bed of
the Modder River at a point where
the stream makes sharp bend. They
are also occupying the hill on the
south bank. The British circle round
this position was completed Monday
morning by J D. P. French's mounted
troops, and the brave defenders have
since been the target for a terrible
fire from all sides. Nevertheless,

to indicate the possibility of their

Secretary Hay has replie to the
resolution passed by the House of
Representative asking information
regarding certain charges made by
ex-Consul Macrum. The reply is to
the effect that during the time Macrum
was at his station he reported the
regular receipt of dispatches from
this government and the directions
sent him were reported as being car
ried out so that no obstacle is known
to have existed to Mr.. Macrum's un-
hampered correspondence with the
department of state. Secretary Hay
replied to the question relating to the
so-called allia nee between this eoun-
try and Great Britain that there was
no such alliance and also that a Sc
cret alliance would be impossible
under our constitution as by it the
consent of the senate is required in
cases where treaties are made.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
While the Commissioners are wrestling
with the mad-dog and muZZle problems, Of
one thing they can rest aSSured-that every
bull dog or bull terrier should be muzzlad
every time that he appears on the street
summer winter. This is already the
law in many cities and should be here. |
saw two instances lately of the most pain
fu! and ferocious treatment of other dogs
by bull terriers, and the parties were not
able for a long time to release the hold
of the bull terrier in either case. In one
instance the terrier had Il large dog by
the forcleg. and in the other a handsome
small skye by the ear. Very often the man
or boy VINO has the terrier is evidently
gratified a: the exhibition of his dogs bru-
tality and makes but faint effort to stop
the struggle. Policemen should be re-
quired to shoot the bull terrier dog f
his master or party in charge does not
stop the struggle at once and thus end
finally the life of the dangerous brute. Be
cause he is pet of some man or woman
should make no difference, as the same
reasoning would apply to bears or snakes
or any other dangerous animal or reptile.

TWO NEW WORKERS.

ONE GIVES THE OTHER A HANDY LIFT
Mr.. +. c. Hazard, one of the Oldest and best
known wholesale grocers in New York. has Tor
MANY years given his attention to the preparation
Of fine food dclicacies He has farm and ex-
periment station down Staten Island, where
the famous Shrewsbury Ketchup, Burnt Onion
Sauce Shrewsbury Mushrooms and other delica-
cies are prepared in most skillful manner
One evening last autumn while on his way
home Mr. II. sat with one Of the officials OF
the " j. c. railroad who seemed to be living
with one foot in the grave-stomach so badly dis
ordered that nothing would digest 1t seemed
only n question of few weeks at most when
death would come.
Mr. Hazard insisted upon taking the gentle
man to his house and giving him package of
Grape-Nuts breakfast food, which is manufactured
by the Postum Cereal Co., at the pure food fac
tories at Battle Creek Mich. food which Mr.
Hazard had been using at his own table for
long time, greatly to his benefit.
He told the gentleman that he could get well
in few weeks by the use of perfectly prepared
food q this sort and would never forget the day
when he first tried Grape-Nus. The prediction
came true; the official is not only alive today.
but is in better health than he has experienced
for many years. all of which he attributes to the
use of Grape-Nuts and from the advice of Mr..
Hazard
There are two for this; in the first
place. Grape Nuts made from certain selected
portions Of wheat and barley that contain phos
phate of potash and albumen, which nature uses
in the human system to make up the gray matter
in the brain and nerve centcrs throughout the
body.
The nervous system directly controls the diges
tive machinery and the brain controls the work.
ing and money making power Mr.. Hazard knows
this from his knowledge of foods and from his
own experience with Nuts. Therefore, when
he took the railway official in charge he knew
exactly what he was doing. and the result proved
the correctness Of his knowledge.
