Watson of the supreme court. When

Ex-Superintendent Mason S. Stone.
Mason S. Stone, for eight years
superintendent Of education in Ver-
mont, has received information by
cable from the general superintend-
ent of education at Manila that he had
been appointed a division superin-
tendent of education for the Philip
pine archipelago. He will remain
several weeks in this country repre-
senting the interests of the Philippine
educational department, and may take
his departure about the first of April
or May. The department wants the
services of several hundred primary
teachers, at a minimum salary of $75
or maximum Of 500 a month, and
free transportation to Manila Col
lege or normal school graduates are
desired. Here is an opportunity for
young men - and probably women
also-of enterprise and having the
spirit of adventure.
A Curious Vault.
In the little village Of Will1ston
curious structure has been built and
presented to the town. It is a burial
vault Or tomb, but so unlike anything
of the kind heretofore erected that it
has attracted the attention Of people
from miles around. The designer Of
the vault is Henry Root of San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Root is q native of Willis
ton, but for years has resided in the
West. He is q civil engineer and
man of means. He spends his sum-
mers with relatives in Williston and
more than one person can testify to
his generosity. With Mr. Root, as
with most persons, the idea of burial
SO common among all people, has no
inviting charms. This is what led
him to construct tomb where bodies
could lie unincased in coffin and re-
ceive natural process of decOmpO-
sition. The vault will hold II bodies
Each is as independent of the other
as if they were III separate graves. In
other words, eacn chamber is a tomb
in itself. The intention is to place the
body on a marble slab or board table,
either with or without covering With
the closing of the doors dry, light
chamber is secured. The body is sur
rounded by dry air and undergoes a
natural process Of decomposition,
while the gases which naturally rise
from the body are absorbed and neu-
tralized in substances intende q by
nature for this purpose. In the upper
part Of the chambeE is horizontal
diaphragm or partition, which extends
from the front to a point near the
rear Of the chamber. Above this par
tition is q second chamber or passage,
and the open communication or pass
age between the upper and lower
chamber at the end allows the gases
to rise naturally into the upper cham
Der, where they are conveyed to
vertical fue.

A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER
GAINS IL LBS. ON CHANGE OF FOOD.

When change in food can rebuild a man sew
entyseven years Of age, 1t is evidence that there
is some value in knowledge that can discriminate
in the selection of proper food to rebuild the body
few months age the physician attending Warren
s. johnson Of Colfax. Cal seventy-seven years old
told him that death from old age would claim
him. He suffered from general weakness and de
bility.
An old lady advised him to quit coffee and drink
Postum Cereal Food Coffee and to eat Grape-Nuts
breakfast food every morning. He took the advice
and has gained twelve pounds. Says he is as well
as he ever was. and take long trips In the
mountains which he has been unable to do for
long time.
There is reason for this. In the first place.
coffee acts as direct nerve destroyer OH many
highly. organized people, both young and Did, end
many people haven't the knowledge to select nour-
ishing, healthful, rebuild ng food
Both Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts break
fast food are made from selected parts Of the field
grains that contain delicate particles of phosphate
OF potash and albumen. These two elements com.
bine in the human body to quickly rebuild the gray
matter In the brain and In the nerve centers
throughout the body.
Direct. sure and certain results come from their
use and can be proven by any person that cares to
make the trial. Both the Postum Food Coffee and
Grape-Nuts are kept By all irst-class grocsEs.

THE PRESIDENTS OWN
PROJECT TO FORM A CAVALRY COM
PANY IN THE DISTRICT.
Intended to BE an Exclusive OrGani-
xatiOn-Meeting to Be Held at
an Early Day.

The organization of troop Of cavalry
in connection with the District National
Guard. to be known as "The Presidents s
Own" Is reported in National Guard cir
cles to be one of the possibilities OF the
future. The idea has developed it is stat
ed. through a plan proposed shortly a1ter
the election of Mr.. Roosevelt as Vice Pres
ident to organize q company OF infantry
to be called 1.-The Roosevelt Rifles" Since
Mr.. Roosevelt has become President the
scheme has taken a wider range, and
cavalry arm of the District guard Is pro-
posed.
seems to be an inclination to doubt the
feasibility of such an organization. 1t Is
very expensive. to maintain. 1t Is SAID, as
horses will have to be hired every time the
troop goes out, and the general organiza-
ton and equipment is more expensive than
that of infantry. Several cavalry troops
have been organized in connection with the
District guard in the past, but each one
has been disbanded after short lie pe-
cause Of the expense of maintenance.
Promoters of the Project.
The promoters of this latest movement,
however do not seem to be dismayed by
the failures of the past. Their leader is
Mr.. John Doyle Carmody, the notary pub
lie, whose office is in Fulton's pawnbroker's
establishment, on 9th street near Pennsyl-
vania avenue. 1t is understood that Mr..
Carmody considered project of forming
mounted infantry company here shortly
after President Roosevelt was elected Vice
President, as stated, and that he corre-
sponded with the latter on the subject and
received favorable reply. The new propo-
sition, however, has not yet been called to
the Presidents attention.
1t was said today in quarters where the
scheme is being discussed that 1T was at
first the intention to organize company
of forty riders, of which about half had.
been already secured. Among these, 1T was
said, are Mr.. Carmody, Mr.. Arthur c.
Moses, Mr.. Ed. Droop, Captain Leroy Her
ron of the D. c. N. G., H. D. Clafin and
others engaged in business pursuits.
1t is understood that the membership
line will be strictly drawn, although at
just what point the social status of the
applicant will constitute him an eligible is
somewhat haZy.
The plan contemplates the holding Of g.
meeting the latter part Of next week, when
regulations governing membership will be
formulated and officers elected. Some of
those interested have stated that the ques-
ton Of expense will not be regarded In
equipping the company properly, and 1t Is
proposed to have all the horses matched as
closely as possible in color, size and con-
formation. 1t Is also intended, If the first
company is a success, to organize another
and form a mounted battalion.

CONFERENCE OVER MATTER AT
DISTRICT BUILDING TO-DAY.
Delegation Of National Association
Members Assured of the Co-Opera-
tion OF Commissioners.

A delegation representing the National
| Memorial Bridge Association which is
| deeply interested in the erection OF tho
memorial bridge between this city and
| Arlington, called at the District building
this morning, and in conference with Mr.
Macfariand, president OF the board. asked
Tor the cooperation of the District Com
missioners In urging the project before
Congress at the coming session. The asso-
ciation is now also interested in the pro-
posed memorial arch to President NcKin-
ley, and is anxious that it should he i'm
mediateiy identified with the bridge
Mr. Macfarland assured the delegation of
the cooperation of the Commissioners end
OF himself, personally. He said he was al
ready on record In favor of the memo
rial bridge. and that now, as II was pro-
posed to erect a memorial arch to Presi-
dent Mckinley in connection with the ma
tional structure. he felt a double interest
in the matter. Mr.. Macfarland said that
Congress should be asked to provide for
the bridge, as the association suggests. but
ne believed that the arch should be con-
structed by popular subscription, so that IL
would be In every sense a national tribute
of the people to the memory of the dead
president. Mr.. Macfarland suggested that
the bridge association should confer with
the Board of Trade. the Business Mems
ASSOCIATION, and other local bodies.
Visit Was Preliminary.
The visit to the Commissioners this morn
Ing on the part of the bridge delegation
was preliminary, ii is stated. to the calling
OF a mass meeting of the citizens Of the
District at an early date. The delegation
consisted OF Robert B. Doan formerly a
representative in Congress from Ohio who
is president Of the National Bridge Asso-
citation; Floyd King. formerly a representa-
tive from Louisiana, vice president and
general manager of the association; J. T.
walker, Fulton r. Gordon and Hiram
buckingham. The association has about
800 members. being represented in every
state of the Union.
Commissioner Macfarland was informed
that the association has been in communi-
cation with the governors of the states and
with the patriotic societies of the entire
country. and is assured of their co-opera-
ton. Mr.. Doan had a conference with
PRESIDENT Mckinley concerning the memo
rial bridge just befoe the chief magistrate
