AN EASY WAY


1t is easy to keep well if we would

The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right and to do this 1t is
not necessary to diet or to follow a set
rule or bill of fare. Such pampering
simply makes a capriciOus appetite
and a feeling that certain favorite ar
ticles of food must be avoided.

storm broke and the sharp lightning and
appalling thunder rendered most OF the
passengers exceedingly uncoinfortableand
annrebensiye. The excursionists were
allowed but time to land at the beach
and obtain refreshments, after which the
return trip was begun. a short distance
from the beach another terrific storm
overlook the boat and the almost inces-
can't thunder and lightning and the del
noe of rain rendered the scene thrilling
in the extreme. Owing TO the dense
crowd numbers were compelled to face
the elements and use umbrellas OH the
deck. The lightning flashed wildly and
seemingly played on the iron work OF
the steamer, and women began to faint,
one remaining in a fainting fit all the
way up. notwithstanding the fact that
a physician who was among the excur-
sionists. did all he could to resllscltaIe
her. The storm continued most OF the
way up the river, The steamer reached
here at twenty minutes to twelve o'clock
and landed the Alexandrians, most OF
whom were bedraggled and exhibited
traces of the odeal through which they
passed. Thesteamer Arrowsmith brought
ND a very large crowd. The steamer
was packed to its fullest capacity and
many were compelled to remain on the
decks, being unable to get into the sa,
loon when the storm broke They used
umbrellas and other means in fruitless
attempts to keep dry The passengers
ON this steamer had the same thrilling
experience, and many earnest prayers as
cended as the lightning flashed and
crashing peals OF thunder followed. Some
young people on the Pentz who had been
singing songs, suddenly turned their vocal
powers on hymns when the storm set in
and sacred music and silent invocations
were distinct features of the homeward

Want Village Incorporated.

The property owners OF Rosslyn,
Alexandria county, are making a second
attempt to have their village incorpor-
ated. A petition signed by the resi-
dents and property-holders of the place
is ready to be presented to the Virginia
Legislature at its session next winter.
Several years ago an attempt was made
to have the village incorporated, but the
governor refused to sign the incorpora-
ton papers, giving as his reason that he
believed a certain element was back Of
the movement. The movement now, II
is said. has the Endorsement and earnest
support of the legitimate business
element Much influence is to be
brought to hear on the members-elect
of legislature this fall to have the meas
ure given favorable consideration.

Saturday Night Disorders.

Fighting whisky was again in evidence
Saturday night. Between nine and ten
o. clock the crowds which usually congest
at the intersection of King and Royal
streets on Saturday nights were caused
to stampede short distance south on
ROYAL street in which neighborhood a
man named Doc Ray had assaulted a
soldier named Bert Summers. The lat
ter boarded a car and attempted to escape
before the police reached the scene, but
later Officers Beach, Gill and Knight
overlook Ray and proceeded to place
him under arrest. He resisted the
officers when James and John Downey,
IT.. interlered and they themselves were
taken in custody Ray left 80 col
lateral and failed to appear this morn
ing. The Downeys were fined $40 each.
A charge was also preferred against Ed.
DOwney to the effect that he used in
science at the station house and threaten
ed to have the three officers who arrested
his kinsmen removed from the force.
He was dismissed, as it was shown
that he subsequently said he meant
nothing by his remarks.
A fight occurred in a saloon in the
southern part of the city Saturday nigh,
bnt no arrests were made.

A Dry DaY at RosslYn.

Yesterday was generally acknowledge
to have been the dryest day Rosslyn ex-
perienced for long time. 1t was I'M
possible to obtain anything that cheered
or inebriated, and would-be imbibers
cleared their Threats and reconnoitercd
here and there to no purpose. The only
stimulants tlat could be seen was a
limited supply of beer which some Ger
man picknickers were issuing. They
kept the supply strictly among them
selves. The reason for the exceedingly
dry conditions is said to have been the
action of saloonkeeper who was heavily
fined last week for allowing his place t.
be open OH Sunday. He, it is alleged,
threatened to have anyone pulled who
opened his place and kept a strict
surveillance over all who sell liquor.

A Thrilling Experience.

Passengers on the Colonial Beach
steamer had thrilling experiences, and
the recollections of the trip are indellbly
IMPRESSED upon all who made it. The
steamer Harry Randall left Washington
for the beach yesterday morning with a
LARGE complement of passengers, sald 10
have numbered one thousand. Numbers
from that city who had gone to the
wharf to take passage on the boat were
not allowed to board her on account oil
the crowd that already loaded her down.
At Alexandria another large concourse
ooaited the arrival of the steamer, al,
thouOb but few of them were allowed
aboard. The boat left the wharf WIN
barely standing room for its load OF hu-
man freight. Several days ago inc
steamers crosshsad broke and an enof'
was made to fix il in time for the excur-
