Arrival of the George washington.

The loug-expected and long-promised
ferry steamer George Washington ar
rived here in tow of the tug Defiance at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday morning, and
was placed in the slip at the foot OF
King street, where it was inspected by
many people during the day. The boat
left New York at 80 a. m. last Thurs
day. The boat was formerly on the
route between New York and Fort Lee.
She is LAT feet long and 80 feet inches
beam. She is a single deck, double
ender, the saloons being on each side of
the space reserved for teams. She will
carry about ten average size teams. The
saloons will seat 100 people without the
use of deck stools. The Washington is
lighted by electricity. The upper deck
contains the two warehouses, the crews
quarters, the lifeboats, and RATS, and,
it is stated, will not be accessible to pas
seneers. The boat is painted dark
red. 1t is said that the boat will be
ready for business by Wednesday or
Thursday of this week. The Washing
toujs trifle too broad of beam for the
slips in this city and Washington, but
this will be remedied at once by enlarg-
ing the slips. This work was commenced
this morning. 1t is stated that the hull
of the Columbia will be brought to this
city and cleaned out in the next few
DAYS. after which it will be towed to
Baltimore, where the boat will be re-
built. The new steamer went to Wash

The Old Dominions Won.

The boat clubs of Washington held a
regatta on Saturday evening. Anumber
of Alexandrians were present. In the
four-oared race between the Old
Dominions, of Alexandria, and the
Analostans, of Georgetown, an accident
which caused the shell of the AnaIostans
to turn turtle and throw the crew into
the water brought the race to an end be-
fore it was well begun. Both crews
were rowing well, and the shells were
going at a record breaking clip when the
bridge was reached. The Old DOminions
were to take the third arch from the
Virginia shore, and the Analostans the
second, but for some reason the latter
crew made for the third arch, and,
before a warning could begiven from the
referees boat, the starboard oars of the
Old Dominions and the port oars of the
Analostans had clashed, and the Analos-
tans were houndering in the water.
The Old Dominions, who were in the
lead at the time of the accident, con-
tinued over the course and were awarded
the race. The race bid fair to be fine
one, both crews being strong, and show
ing excellent condition. 1t may be run
over at some subsequent regatta
The crews we're made up as follows: Old
Dominions-Herbert, l; Burke, 2; Bry-
ant, 3; Bryan, stroke. Analostans-
Burke, l; Whipley, 2; Sizer, 8; Nevious,
stroke. The Old Domipions made bad |
start and lost over a boats length but
soon got down to work, and had taken
the lead when the accident occurred.
They returned to their boat house late on
Saturday night and were warmly wei

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon the
market eight years ago knows from
experience the necessity of using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and steady brain.
She says: AT the time Postum was
first put on the market l was suffer
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-
cided to take his advice and try Pos
tum and got sample and had it care
fully prepared. finding it delicious to
the taste. So ! continued its use and
very soon it's beneficial effects con-
vinced me of its value, for | got well
of my nervousness and dyspepsia.
My husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. l persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is so delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not eXhilarate or depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and hon
estly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach. To make long story short
our entire family have now used Pos
tum for eight years with completely
satisfying results as shown In our
fine condition of health, and we have
noticed a rather unexpected improve
ment in brain and nerve power.

Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follow the use of Postum in
place of coffee. sometimes in very
marked manner.
