who had fought under Wellington in
Europe. After a scrambling skirmish,
the British charged and the American
militia broke and fed. The sailors
and marines alone disdained to re-
treat. They put up resolute resist
ance and were overcome by numbers.
The President and his Cabinet were
at Bladensburg when the British ap-
preached, but returned to the city
when the conflict began, and narrowly
escaped capture.
Exceeded Limits of Decent Warfare.
AS soon as the British entered
Washington they began their work of
destruction. The congressional H.
brary, with many valuable historical
documents, was destroyed, and an at
tempt was made to burn the Capitol.
The torch was also applied to the
White House, the treasury and the
was departments, and before the Brit
ish evacuated the city and the flames
were extinguished, property valued at
100000 had been destroyed, and in
addition many Americans had been
killed and wounded. The black mark
which the raid left on Washington
came very near to ending its career
as the capital of the United States,
and it required all President Madi-
sons influence to prevent the seat of
government being removed to some
place less resembling struggling VII.
lage that had been visited by couffa-
grafton.
When the world heard of the sack
of Washington it denounced it as ex
ceeding the limits Of decent warfare
Nevertheless the British Government
honored Gen. Ross by permitting his
family to add ''of Bladensburg" tc
their patronymic. Most British his
torians have attempted to excuse the
vadalism by stating that the acts were
in retaliation for the depredations
| committed by the Americans along the
Canadian border, particularly in thu
) towns and villages in the vicinity o
Niagara Falls. Others have stated
that the British soldiers were in
censed because of an attempt mad,
by a citizen of Washington to xii
Gen. Ross, whose life was saved a
the expense of his horse.
After applying the torch to Wash
ington the British beat hurried re
treat and during the next month es
sayed to capture Baltimore. The
were defeated Sept. 10, and Ross wa
slain. 1t was while these operation
against Baltimore were in progress
that Francis Scott Key wrote TIL
words of the ''Star Spangled Banner,
which, set to the melody of an oil
English drinking song, has becom
what is generally called the America
national anthem.

HOW SHALL A DOCTOR
ACT IN SICK ROOM !?
GOOD LISTENER GETS THE
PRACTICE, SAYS LORD
RosEBERY.
by Associated Press.)


London, Aug. 2.-Whether a physi-
clan should adopt the CHEEKY manner
of bygone days or wear a look of bust
ness-like solemnity, is the controversy
raised in the London press by Lord
Rosebery, who in a speech at Epson
college said he would rather a thou
and times be treated by third rate
doctor with genial features than a
first rate man of repellant counte-
nance.
<aThe old-fashioned type, who en-.
tered rubbing his hands, poked the
patient in the ribs and started to tell
him jokes" replies one physician
"would have hard time holding his
practice these days."
Another writer answers that the
doctor liked by the best modern pa
tent is the one who listens gravely
and ends by saying, Il know exactly
what the trouble is" The main
reason why the grave doctor is liked
Is because he is good listener, and
patients love to do the talking when II
comes to their troubles.
Nearly everyone prefers the doc
tor with the churlish manner, provid
ing he has a good record of cures,
concludes the writer, ''to the sunny
duffer who is as likely to kill you as
not

MINER CONSTIPATION
DANGEROUS

Constipation in summertime is more
dangerous than in the fall, winter or
spring. The food you eat is often con-
taminated and is more likely to fer
ment in your stomach. Then you are
apt to drink much cold water during
the hote weather, thus injuring your
stomach. Collie, Fever, Ptomaine Pois-
oning and other ills are natural re-
suits. Po-Do-Lax will keep you well,

TO INSPECT COLLIER

Annapolis, Md, Dec. 7.-Secre-
tary Daniels, Admiral Griffin, engi-
neer in chief of the navy, and
other naval officers will come to
this city today to inspect the big
naval collier Jupiter, which recent
ly arrived on the Atlantic coas,
from San Francisco by way Of the
Panama Canal. This vessel is cleo
trically driven, and Secretary Dan
iels has expressed great interest in
1t. The mechanism is declared to
have passed the experimental stage
and to have shown its perfect adap-
liability for use in large battle
ships on account of the instan-
taneous maneuvering power. Though
designed to Ia knots, the Jupite,
has maintained Is knots for 40
hours. and IL knots, with 10000
tons displacement, has consumed
only so tons of coal per day, an
economy of 25 per cent. compared
with reciprocating engines. The
navy department has been contem-
plating the installation of this
form Of electric drive in the grea,
dreadnaught, which Is about to be
built in the New York navy yard
