DEFIANT FILIPINQS.
General Funston Says They Won't Be

"The situation in the Philippines is

"They would not hesitate to embroil

NEED DIET REFORM.
Eat Too Much and
Choose Improper Food.

We have lately heard from many
scientists and practical philosophers
that the average man eats entirely too
much and that he could both reduce
his living expenses and improve his
health and vigor by adopting lighter
and simpler diet.
1t is undoubtedly true that most of
US, who can procure all the food we
desire, take in too much.
A great many of US for one reason or
another eat 30 rapidly that we do not
digest our food properly.
Dyspepsia is national and an in
creasing disease. We are slaves to
habit ia eating as we'll as in other
matters. A famous English surgeon
has given it as his opinion that more
persons acquire diseases and shorten
their lives by overeating than by in
diligence in intoxicating liquors.
The two meal a-day plan Is growing
in popularity and has it's enthusiastic
advocates among the plain people as
we'll as those who have studied the
question scientifically.
The Americans, besides eating too
much as rule, do not choose their
diet wisely. They are the most carniv-
erous race on earth. More vegeta-
bles and less meat would save them
much money and many bodily ills.
Comparatively few of us apply the
rules of common sense to our habits of
eating and pay heavy penalty for
their rashness. The retormers who
are appealing to this Overeating gener-
alton sometimes go to extremes. but
on the whole they are on the right

PRACTICAL STRUCTURE
GOING UP--BIG ENTERPRISE OF
SPECIAL INTEREST LOCALLY.
Mr.. canhsId's Magnificent Club House
at saEatoga-A Description of the
BuiIdIng-Hundred eds aud Thousands
of Dollars VIII be spent.

Quite large number of New Haven
citizens who go to Saratoga every
summer have no doubt visited the re-
nowned club house in that village and
partaken Of more or less of the elabO-
rate menus for which this house is so
famous. In fact, it has a national rep
utation for its fine service wheth-
er at dinner, full course or lunch. 1t
will probably be interesting for them to
learn that the extensive improvements,
alterations and additions are now be-
ing pushed rapidly to completion.
Mr.. Garfield, the owner of the club
house, is going to spend one hundred
thousand dollars in fitting up a restau-
rant and beautifying the grounds sur
rounding It. The new building, which
will contain this palatial restaurant,
&c, will be one hundred and six feet
long and one hundred and four feet
wide. In addition to these dimensions
there will be on three sides a number of
bay windows which will be thirteen feet
high and extend out from the building
/ thirteen feet. Two of the magnificent
plateglass windows will face on Put
nam street. two on Spring street and
two on the terraced lawn. which was
formerly a part of the Indian encamp-
ment. The building proper will be two
stories high. The second will be devo-
ted to the grand restaurant and a
kitchen. The restaurant will be ninety
six feet long and sixty feet wide. The
decorating on the ceiling, side walls and
pillars will be in white plaster and as
fine as expert artists can make 1t. On
all sides there will be large plateglass
windows and to admit the light from
above there will be a large number Of
decorated skylights
Entrance to the restaurant will be in
practically the same place as was the
old entrance The stairs leading to the
dining room will be OF marble, as will
the columns they will support. The
first floor will be divided into a large
store room. boiler room, wine room,
an ice cream room, laundry and an
office. In planning everything in this
house Mr., Garfield has not forgotten
that his patrons often prefer the cool
outdoor air to the atmosphere of in
doors.
For the comfort of those who wish
out doors he will provide a number of
fine walks in the present club house
grounds and in the Indian encampment
A large marble shelter. resembling a
summer house, will be built near the
foot of the hill opposite the fish pond
and where the Indian encampment
property joins the old club house prop
erty. Here, in a large circular seat of
marble, surrounded by shrubbery, Mr.
Canfield's patrons may enjoy the fresh
air.
Those who so to Saratoga next sum
mer and desire to be catered to in true
magnificence with the best goods the
world affords. will not be disappointed
when they visit this palatial restau
rant and it's commodious environments.

though not in his private office then
and while they had not been suspected
they had made themselves thoroughly
familiar with the lay Of the rooms.
They must have learned something, too,
Of the safe in Mr.. Lords private office
and of what it contained. On the after
noon of the robbery Mr.. Lord was sit
ting reading when one of the strangers
walked into his affice and engaged the
wealthy man in conversation.
The two talked earnestly together for
several minutes, and While Mr.. Lord s
back was turned the other robber has
tily swung open the great safe door,
pulled out some drawers and took from
them securities worth eighteen hundred
thousand dollars! A little later the two
men quietly walked out. 1t was some
time afterward that Mr.. Lord discov-
cred his loss. He was almost overcome
by the shock of it. The thieves had
gone and to this day they have never
been found. A part of the securities
stolen were found. A great many years
later some of them appeared in London,
where they were offered for sale. But
the robbers have always been a mys-
terry. The great theft created stir

day to this thieves have not dared to
return to Wall street.-John Matthews
