THE GRIDIRON CLUB DINNER
TheGridiron club inWashingtonSatur
day night gaveja most notable diuner.en
tertaining distinguished guests from the
United States, Europe and other parts
of the world. In the company were
the President, Vice-President, membern
of the cabinet, the President of Costa
Rica, the Premier of Canada, the entire
joint bigh American Canadian commis
sioD, General Garcia, the most prr
ininent officers of the army and navy,
Senators; Representatives and many
other distinguished men. Mote than
one hundred and sixty people were as?
sembled in the beautiful dining ball of
the Arlington hotel.
Toe dinner was in a measure conduct?
ed on lines of compliment and honor to
men who distinguished themselves on
' both laud and sea in the late war. Great
ovation were given to the President,
Admiral Scbley and General Sbafter
when they arose to speak, while other
speakers received most generous con?
sideration. Although the dinner was
upon the lines indicated,wit and burles?
que was cleverly interspersed wiih tht<
patriotic sentiment, so that at all times,
the guests w? re rever allowed to get
away from the Gridiron method of con?
ducting a dinner.
President Frank H. Hosford presid?
ed in an admirable manner. He was
very fortunate in bis introduction of
prominent guests, and with sentiment,
wit und satire conducted the features of
the dinner to a most satisfac ory con?
clusion. Speeches are always short at
Gridiron dinners and there was no ex?
ception of this rule Saturday night.
Remarks were made by the President,
the Vice President, the President oi
Costa Rica, Lord Herechell.Sir Wilfred
Laurier, Secretary Long, Secretary
Hay, Postmaster Genend Emery Smith,
Admiral Schley, General Shafter, Gen
era! Garcia, Captain Sigsbee, Senator
Lodge, Mr. Foster and others.
The menu was in keeping with the
other features of tbe evening. There
were several pages in imitation of army
orders beginning with a proclamation
of the president of the club calling on
volunteers (guests) to assist the regulars
.if the club at the engagement in the'
Arlington dining room from 8 to 12
o'clock. This was followed by a series
of orders in military style, directing the
various committees of the club to pre?
pare the different features of entertain?
ment, and to assume such duty as is
usually performed by them. The guests
were grouped in divisions of volunteers
and ordered to '"keep in the line of fire,
during the entire engagement. A map
of the battle ground was one of the
unique features in which the various
divisions were represented as charging
through the champagne river toward
the table heights where they were sup?
posed to have captured ''soon won
bill." There were several quip3 in
special orders directed at the promi?
nent guests of the eveuing, which add
ed to the merry feature of the occasion.
Among the features was a burlesque
investiga ion of the conduct of the war
which conveyed some of the more hum?
orous fancies of the real investigation.
Members of the committee brought in
immense stacks of testimony, also largp
volume of reports and different exhibits
whicb took off some of the gueste and
caused great amusement. The report
concluded with the finding that there
was a war; that Spain got licked and
that the Anglo-Saxon stood together.
As this was done the American and
British flags were unveil6d as a com?
pliment to the Canadian members of
the joint high commission. Another
feature was th.9 appearance of Uncle
Sam with a number of colored children
Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains ofdisea3e is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Will-am?,
of Manchester, Mich , tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five yeais
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec?
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im?
proved and able to do her own work."
This supreme remedy for female dis?
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep?
lessness, melancholy, headache, back?
ache, fainting and dizzv spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godeeod
to weak, sickly, run down people

was the presentation of a horse to Gen?

charter members of the club, and who
