the avenue of stately pines which leads to
it, and the mass of shrubbery which sur

In order to provide for the yearly in

made to the building at various times, SO
that at present the original manor is al

Only theology and branches connected
with the Order of St Paul are conducted

The Marist College.
Adjoining the grounds of the university
on the north and those of the Holy Cross
College on the east, the Order of Mary
has erected the Marist College. This edi-
fee. which is of red brick with white
sandstone trimmings, is surrounded by
ten acres of undulating ground. With a
frontage of 115 feet and an east and west
wing each 10 feet deep, the building con-
tains nearly one hundred rooms. This
college is not impressive except for its
size and the hollow white arch over the
central gable in which is placed a gilded
figure of the Virgin Mary.
The Marist Fathers have been located
in Brookland since 1892, occupying for
the first eight years the old Brooks Man
sion. Although additions were made to
this building, the demands of the order
called for larger and more ccmmodious
apartments and for this reason the pres
ent college was begun in 1899 and Occur
pied in 1900. This orGer is under the
guidance of the very Rev. John B. Des-
creux. The Brooks mansion is still re-
tained by the Marist Fathers as a junior
seminary for those who may wish TO en-
ter the order. II is not compulsory, how

Holy Cross College.
In 1895 the Order of the Holy Cross es-
tablished itself in Brookland. occupying
for the first two years two small cot
tages. Finding that larger apartments
were necessary it took possession of the
Margot house on Bunker Hill Road. where
it remained for the next three years. In
the fall of 1899 the present new college
was dedicated and occupied.

the way out a bright idea struck Mr.. Peter
V. DeGraw, then manager of the United
Press, and now of the Cincinnati En-
quirer" bureau. He proceeded to can
vass the train for predictions as to the
nominee at Chicago. He did not ask for
the preferences but the judgments of the
correspondents. Gresham carried the
train by an overwhelming majority, and
Harrison did not get a single vote-al-
though Perry Heath was on the train
The result of this poll Of the train was

Thrilling Experience of an Expedi-

The incidental difficulties and dan

gencies which the adventurous scien-
fist must be prepared to meet success
fully at any m~oment-are we'll Illus
trated by an incident %recounted by
Teobert Mailer in his interesting report
on his researches in the Usumatsintla
valley. in Central America, for the
Peabody museum of Harvard.
Mailer and his party while Mt Lake
Petha unconsciously reused the wrath
or terror-it was difficult to tell which
of a native and tried to placate him by
the generosity OF their gifts to his wife
and child. They succeeded far enough
to persuade him to guide them TO n
nearby settlement. where the mans
brother-in-law was the chief man."
and while they all finally reached the
little village in safety it appeared TO
be no fault of the Indian that they
were not drowned on the way.
A river, which was very high at the
time of Maler's visit. finds its way
Into Lake Petha in a cataract which
rushes with tremendous force over the
edge of a high rock terrace, and the
guide led his party through the midst
OF this seething. swirllng mass of wa
ter, a Journey which the reluctant *
plorers accomplished only with the
greatest difficulty. walking barefooted
and supporting themselves with long
STATS. which they used as braces
against the slippery rocks.
Desperately rough trails interviewed
for a space. and then the river was
met again. this time at a spot where
1t was spanaed by the long. thick trunk
of a tree which lay below the surface
Of the water. The stream was very
deep on either side and was impass-
able, so the Indian made his way
across upon the slippery tree trunk,
and his companions were obliged to
follow him rs best they could. A short
distance farther on q third crossing OF
the same river vas made, the means of
passage that time being another fallen
tree; but, by way of variety, this I'M
certain foothold was suspended high
above the water.
The frigid welcome which was grudg-
ingly extended TO Mailer and his party
on their arrival at the Indian village
led them to believe that their guide
was really n spy who had been sent out
to reconnoiter and that he had purpose
ly led them by the most hazardous
path he knew.
