The liquor traffic will be attacked in

local order of the Woman's Christian

in the matter of endorsing the bill, as
some members object to the discrimi-

a signer of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. The widowed mother OF
jefferson Page was much surprised
for she had made no application-to
receive an official document from the
war department, Offering her two ap-
pointments to West Point for her son,
"as some recognition of his fathers
distinguished services" Her young
est son preferred the navy, and he was
appointed midshipman and sent off to
the school ship at Norfolk. There
was no naval academy in those days,
and the youth of the navy scrambled
up the tree Of knowledge as they could.
Fortunately young Page, for a boy
OF his age, was well advanced in math-
ematics and the classics. After a few
months on the school ship he was
ordered to the flagship Erie, bound for
the West Indies.
Page was the youngest midshipman
aboard, but by a strange train of cir
cumstances it was his lot to command
the flagship for fifteen days before his
cruise was ended. The Erie had been
out nearly three years and was about
to return home, when the yellow fever
broke out with great virulence and for
forty-eight hours made great havoc.
The captain sent for Midshipman Page
and said to him: 81 am a sick man and
all our officers are down with the fe-
yer; here is an appointment for you as
acting lieutenant. Take us home;
steer for Norfolk"
Page took charge, and, with the aid
OF one midshipman, turned the old frig-
ate homewaTds.
OFF Cape Hatteras 1t was a battle
for life or death, but the old ship
weathered the gale and Midshipman
Page triumphantly carried the Erie
into Norfolk, landed the sick without
the loss Of a single man ON the voy-
age, and with boyish glee read some
complimentary notices Of his short
command in the paper OF the day. After
a period Of shore duty at the observa-
tory, Washington, an expedition to ex-
plore the basin of La Plata and to as
certain the condition OF the country
and its people, in view of future trade
with the United States, was decided

is an instrument for directing the re-
hected rays Of the sun on and of q
distant station by means of a movable
mirror, but may be described less ac'
curately, though more graphically, as
shaving.glass mounted on a low
tripod. By the aid of sighting vane
the mirror is placed in such position
that the sun is reflected upon the dis.
tant station. When this is done sig
nails can be made by depressing a key
fitted to the back of the mirror, so
that the light can be flashed on to the
required point in the dot and dash
method.
The "helio" is extremely portable,
weighing with it's stand no more than
a soldiers rife. 1t possesses a curl
GUS virtue of secrecy, because to peo-
pie standing even at very short dis
tance from the point onto which it's
rays are directed its signals are quite
invisible. But this fact will show how
needful it is to have the sun reflected
full on the distant station; and to
insure this the hello has to follow the
sun" as he travels through the sky.
Two screws, one giving vertical
movement and the other a horizontal
movement to the mirror, about its
centre, effect this, and the screws can
be manipulated by the signaler while
in the act of sending without any in
terruption to the message.

open for inspection during seven days
of the week and during any one OF the
twenty-four hours Of each day visitors
will dnd things in just the proper
shape. When a man is doing every
thing he knows how to do to produce
3 clean, pure article OF milk, it is no
wonder he is willing, like Mr.. Landon
is, TO have the general public know
about the inside workings OF the
plant.
For some time past he has felt that
it was not just the proper thing to
house the cattle and horses under one
roof, hence he decided to erect sepa-
rate stable for the horses. The new
building is about completed and by
time this article is in type the horses
will be moved "out Of the old house
into the new" The stable which is
Just being finished is 26z90 feet in
dimensions, to accommodate nine head
of horses, with feed rooms, harness
rooms and other conveniences. The
room formerly taken up by the horses
in the old stable will be fitted with
stalls for cattle, thus giving much adj
ditional breathing space in what has
always been a large and we'll appointed
stable. Some other minor changes
are to be made for the comfort of the
cattle and the convenience OF the men
in feeding them. so that about the 1st
of February the Buena Vista Dairy
Farm will be as complete in its ap-
pointments as any large dairy in the
country.
Mr.. Landon is fortunate in having
such an excellent location for the per-
manent establishment of large dairy
plant, and his customers are also for
tunAte in being able to secure milk
from such particular man who seems
to feel that the cleanest and best is
none too good even for the humblest
one Of his customers.

A BUSINESS POINTER,

Several Washington merchants are
Afraid TO invite the trade Of suburban
people for fear it migRS ofond some
lf their city customers who don't con-
Jider it ''the proper thing" to be seen
b a store with country people. They
want the cash Of country people when
the same can be secured without any
outward sign of a desire to reach out
Tor it. One OF the largest hardware
firms in the city recently refused TO
advertise in the columns Of the CITI-
ZEN and gave the following reasoni
'We're not out after suburban busi-
aess for the reason that we consider
the trade of the people of Virginia and
Maryland not particularly desirable. |"
Gustave Hariig, the hardware man Of
500 and Gil H Street, N. E., is Of
different opinion. He wants the trade
of country people and he is getting it.

LIVED EXCITING LIFE
THOMAS }. PAGE WHO RECENT
LY PASSED AWAY.
Commanded tho Flagship Erie In the
United States Navy When Only -
MIdshipman-Flghts Pirates In the
China Sea.

There died in Rome, Italy, a few
weeks ago one of the old-time ante
belum heroes of the United States
navy. The exploits of the new navy
the white squadrons-are known to the
new generation, and the older remem-
her only the names of Porter and Far
ragut. But in the days before the civil
war in the United States Capt. Thomas
jefferson Page was a familiar figure in
naval annals. He commanded the flag
ship Erie when a midshipman, discov-
cred a new channel in New York har-
Dor, fought Malay pirates in the China
seas, negotiated the treaties of amity
and commerce with the South Ameri-
can republics. explored the La Plata
river. refused an admiral's commission
in the Italian navy, and built the con-
federate navy during the civil war. AL
though his last active service had been
given to the enemy of the union, his
dying request was that he be buried
with the Stars and Stripes about him.
Capt Page was in his 92d year at
the time of his death. He was Of
proud old Virginia stock, having been
born at Shelby, Gloucester county, Va,
Shelby being part of the great Rose
well estate, on the York river. His
father an eminent Virginia lawyer,
was the eldest son of the famous Gov.
John Page Of Roosevelt. His mother
was a daughter Of Major-General Thos.
Nelson, also governor of Virginia, and

At the beginning Of the war in
South Africa it wei stated that tho
quantity of ammunition stored at
various points in the Transvaal was
colossal and would suffice for a ten
years war even at the most extrava.
CANT rate of expenditure.
Most OF the Boer ammunition was
imported from Germany and France,
though a small amount of it was made
in England, and some of it was manu-
featured at the Transyaal Government
works near Pretoria.
Grent secrecy surrounded the Gov
ernment powder factory, and no one
was allowed to visit it, or, indeed, to
approach within half mile of the en-
closed buildings, without a special
permit. Similar care was taken to
guard the secrets of the ammunition
repositories, but it is known that for
many months before the war tho Boer
expenditures for powder we're enorm-

idea of the republics preparations
along this line by watching the large
consignments landed at Delagoa Bay.

inc philanthropy has ever been launch

liberality has been the principal theme
of discussion in press and pulpit for
several days past. But this is not Mr.
Widener's first handsome gift to Phil

upon by the government, and the COM
mand was given Jefferson Page. Capt.
Page was engaged over seven years Of
his professional life in this work, and
considered it of great Importance, for
the commercial interests Of the United
States. Capt. Page reached home from
his last expedition a few days before
the outbreak of hostilities between
North and South. The day of Vir-
ginia secession Capt Page gave in his
resignation and gave over to the navy
department all the papers and charts
of the second expedition. Thus ended
abruptly his career in the United States
navy.
The evening following Capt Page
left Washington for Virginia. For two
years he filled important land com
mands and began the building on York
river Of the little fleet of gunboats.
The evacuation of Yorktown Obliged
his retreat, and the nearly completed
boats were burned by the retreating
party.
Capt. Page was soon after sent to
Europe with the rank of commodore to
bring out the two ironclads built for
the confederate government in Eng
land They were completely finished
equipped, and ready for service. But
after the vigorous diplomatic action Of
the United States minister, Mr.. Charles
