One OF the best known and most
popular men ON the Potomac river
Is Alexander Beale, Purser of the
Weems Line Steamer 'Northumber-
land. Mr. Beale is a native Of St.
Inigo's district, St. Mary s county.
He Is an ex-Confederate, and was a
member of Emack ; Co, Gen. William
L. Jones Brigade. Mr.. Beale made
an enviable reputation for gallantry
and attention to duty while in the
army. After the war he entered the
service OF the Weems Steamboat
Company and has been with it ever
since. He is an affable, pleasant
gentleman and all WHO have travelled
on his steamer are under obligations
TO him for many attentions. Mr.
Beale owns a fine estate in St. mi
COS district, and in addition 70 be-
ing a good steamboat man, is also
progressive and prosperous farm
er. He loves TO talk of the good
old times and the writer has often
listened with great pleasure TO his
"reminiscences. One of Mr. Beale 5
narratives of war times, has to do
with picket duty while on a raid in
Western Virginia, near Clarksburg
With another st. Mary's man, since
gone TO his reward. Mr. Beale was
posted on lonely road 10 witch for
the approaching enemy while his
command crossed the river. Dir.
Beale's friend was riding q trained
cavalry horse. while he bestroie .
colt that had never been under FIRE
The colt was fast and the friend ;
animal was worn outand slow. The
enemy were heard approaching and
| instructions were given the pick
| cts we're TO fire and fall back The
enemy would have 20 spprooch pretty
close before the FIRE could De deaiv-
cred and il Eas apparent that before
the river could De crossed sne 0sd

killed or captured %. Mr. B@aIe
proposed that his friend should start

She Comes Of Fighting Stock

Some brief mention has been made OF
the war records of President Theodore
Roosevelt's ancestors, but it is not gen.
orally known that Mrs. Roosevelt also
comes from fighting stock. She is descen-
ded from men who followed the flag val
iantly through the Mexican and civil wars,
and, like her husband, numbers among her
relatives one who was prominent in the
cause of the confederacy.
Mrs. Roosevelt is a granddaughter OF
General Daniel Tyler, of Norwich, Conn,
who was graduated from West Point some
time in the 'twenties. General Tyler
fought through the Mexican war, after
which he retired from the service and be-
came extensively interested in railway
operations in the east.
At the outbreak of the civil war, General
Tyler's military bent again asserted it,
self Although of an advanced age, his
fighting spirit had lost none Of its vigor.
Patriotic to the core and ready to give
his life If need be, General Tyler offered
his services to the union cause. He was
Immediately commissioned general and
given command of one Of the three di-
visions under General Mcdowell. He
participated in the first great battle of
the war at Bull Run Generay Tyler was
in the thick Of the fight and narrowly es-
capped capture in attempting to stem the
tide OF the panic stricken troops It was

Fire Proof Buildings,

Architect E. P. Overmire of this city
has contributed an article to the Inter
state Architect Builder on Fire Proof
Buildings" He agrees in the maiu with
the chief Of the fire department in New
York who has declared that the majority
of the supposedly fire proof buildings OF
that city were delusion and a snare He
adds:
While it is altogether probable that small
| fire originating in a single Office could be
confined thereto, this alone will hardly war
rant building being designated as freproof
/. e., proof against destruction by any ordi-
nary exposure to fire. Now, unless building
can successfully withstand an external ex-
posure to fire, its tenants can hardly feel a
great deal safer than they would in q less
pretentious building, say in one built of what
would be called slow-burning internal con-
struction.
1t is my humble opinion that no building
can be constructed that will withstand the
action of fire which has for its chief support
and construction either wood, iron or steel,
as either Of these materials may be easily and

FOR Men OFF DUTY
The Post Exchange at Ft. Smelling
Is Revived.
GAMES, BOOKS AND SOFT DRINKS
There VIII Also Be a General Store
and CaRe-PrOft Ex-
pected.

Work upon the fitting up OF the new
post exchange which is to take the place
Of club for the enlisted men at Fort
Smelling, was begun yesterday. The ex-
change will be located in one Of the un-
used barracks, and will be under the i'm
rooms will be devoted to it's use, and every
effort will be made to make It popular
lounging place for the men.
In the main room there will be a billiard
and pool table, tables for cards, check
ers, chess and similar games and various
other amusement devices. No gambling,
however, will be permitted. Another
room will be used as a library, the post
and regimental libraries having together
a collection of several hundred volumes.
Books belonging to the regimental library
were bought by the men while in the
Philippines. They are mostly fiction and
paper-bound, the only kind Of books to
be obtained there. In the readingroom
all the leading magazines and periodicals
will be available, in addition to the daily
papers Of both Minneapolis and st. Paul.
In the main room, meals will be served
to whomever may want them, a skilled
cook having already been secured and in
stalled in the kitchen. Notwithstanding
drinks, cigars, tobacco, stationery and
other articles in demand by the soldiers
will be sold also. In fact, the exchange
will serve as a sort Of general store where
the men may supply all their legitimate
wants.
Such an institution as this proposed post
exchange is no new thing with the Four
teenth regiment. They had an exchange
while in Manila, and it more than paid ex-
penses even after the abolishment OF the
canteen. If such proves to be the case
here the excess over actual operating ex-
pense will be divided as was the old 'slush
fund" pro rata among the companies.
