speaks of is worthless and unstable at

From the Washington Post.
The uniform of the Washington High
School Cadets is now well known TO
Edward VII, King of England. to
Queen Alexandra, his wife, and to the
Duke of Argyle. A cadet private after
his first year in the high school visited
England for a summer outing and snap

" entertained at Marlborough House
by the King and Queen.
The hero of this adventure is Wilbur

ARE -FOUR GENERATIONS.
SeIfridse Family Well Represented
in the Navy.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Rear Admiral Thomas o. Selfridge,
Sr., who was placed on the retired list
of the navy in 1886. on account of hav-
ing reached the age limit, is still living
at, his residence in Washington. His
son, Rear Admiral Thomas o. Self
ridge, Jr., at the age of 81. was retired
Feb. 6, 1898. or shortly before war was
declared by the United States against
Spain. Commander Selfridge, now on
the active list of the navy, is SON
of Rear Admiral Thomas o. Selfridge.
Jr., and the former has a son at the
Naval Academy, appointed a cadet
within a year by President Mckinley.
Thus 1t will be seer there are four Self
ridges now being carried on the navy
list. The old Admiral. as he is alluded
to in Washington and elsewhere, is 80
years old He was a midshipman in
1918. There was no Naval Academy
then. The boys received their course
OF instruction on training ships, and
entered the service several years
younger than permitted at present.

and five months. while that of the son
was twenty years and five months. but
the entire duty. including both sea and
shore, of the elder Selfridge was few
months longer than that of his son.
The record of the Selfridge family is
the most remarkable in the annals Of
the navy. Never before since this ma
ton has existed have there been four
generations carried on the rolls of the

IL any other country can show a case
like il. Not until about twelve months
ago did the old Admiral show marked
signs OF exhausting vitality. About
then his sight was greatly impaired,
and he has been unable to move free
ly about the house for the past six
months. He keeps to his residence
pretty closely, and sees no one except
the immediate members of his family
and two or three intimate friends.
The cause of the senior Admiral liv-
ing so long, he himself thinks, is that
he has always taken the best care of
his health. and all his life has been
temperate in food and drink. 1t is re-
lated that fully twenty-five years ago
the venerable Admiral was invited TO
a large entertainment at one of the
most palatial and hospitable residences
in Washington. Shortly after 10 o'clock
he bade the hostess goodnight. She
demonstrated. and said he must not
leave so soon. A number of leading
statesmen were likewise guests. and
they began TO tease him, declaring
that he was young man and ought
TO Fit up as long as the youngest The
hostess insisted that he must remain
long enough TO partake OF refresh
ments. but the Admiral thanked her
and remarked that his evening diet
was bread and milk--just before going
10 bed. OF all the senators and high
government officials who bantered him
that night not one is living to-day,
and the Admiral warned them then
that y they did not give up terrapln

custom held their annual outing
and banquet Saturday last at that
place.
The location of the picnic was

hour the guests began to assemble
About 10 a. m. the Lodge left its
wigwam, and each chief and brave
bearing the weapon or other mark
Of his Office, they marched in In
dian file through the principal
streets to the picnic grounds. Each
member was clad in the regaIia OF
his Office. The march was enliv>
ened by the sweet strains of Young

procession in hack.
Arriving at the grounds the reg
ular floor exercises were carried
out, after which J. f. Bowden held
the attention of the audience with
a good address.
Then after music by the Orches~
ira he introduced the dinner ques-
ton, saying that the banquet would
be spread on the ground under the
trees in true Indian style. This
was done and after a blessing by
Rev. Joseph Vasey, a sharp attack

After dinner Rev. Joseph Vasey
was scheduled for an address, but
