MORAL REFORM IN New JERsEY.-The New
Jersey Senate just now has under consideration
bill relative to habiua drunkards, of very strn-
gent character. Among other provisions, is one
to appoint guardians to take charge of the proper
ty of habitual drunkards in the same way as is
done in the case of lunatics. On the death of the
habitual drunkard the property is to go to his
heirs-but in case he reforms it will revert to his
own management as before. No contracts habit
ual drunkards make relative to real or personal
estate are to be binding after writ to appoint
guardians shall have been issued. 1t is also proyi
ded that no process shall issue in answer to petit
tions from a wife against her husband, or by
child against his or her parents. Inn-keepers are
to receive notice not to furnish habtual drunkards
with liquor, and penalties are prescribed for vi
olation of the order.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July ~, 1919
Our streets presented an unusual throng last
evening on the return of the excursion and
picnic from the White House. 1t was as
large party as ever went from this city, and
was richly enjoyed by those who had the good
fortune to be of the company.
We notice that in one or two directions the
streets are being extended and paved. Duke
street west is now nearly completed, three or
four squares being newly laid to its western
extremity. We also notice some very beauti-
full private residences in course of erection.

Speaking seriously, now since the nonsen-

some very unkind things have been said in the

Hollins. In justice to him, permit me to re-
mark that he is one of our most respected
citizens There is no man of whom better
opinion can be entertained. He is emphati-
cally an " ld-school gentleman. He is not a
modern politician, and poorly calculated to
keep pace with the present extraordinary age
of progress. His main indiscretion in the re-
cent unpleasant affair, was in allowing him
self to be improperly INTERCEPTED by parties
having sinister motives.

GEORGETOWN, July so, 1858.
Another Ftre-A fire occurred last night
about eight o'clock, in a small frame sta
bio in the rear of the Messrs. Rileys' sad
die and harness manufa ,tory. The light drew
together in few minutes several hundred
persons. The building was soon razed with
the ground, and the flames prevented from
spreading before any damage of moment was
done. The fire is supposed to lbe the work of
some nlischievous boy. The Visilant fire
company was prompt on the spot with tn cir
apparatus ready to render service, if necessa-
ry. 1t is due to this excellent company to say
that they worked like brave fellows at the fire
on the night before, playing nearly the whole
time from their engine two streams upon the
flames. 1t was mainly through their efforts
that large quantity of lumber and wood in
the locality of the fire was saved from destruc-
ton.

CHE Cor IT ALL PICKING GREENS. ~
Do you hear that, boys! "He got it all
picking Greens" said farmer the other
day, when calling for deposit and it's
accumulated interest, at the old Savings
Bank in Boston. The deposit, made sew
eral years ago by the guardian of the boy,
from neighboring town, has increased
somewhat over $50 per cent; and now
the boy, having grown to mans estate,
and having taken possession of small
farm in Vermont, finds the earnings
of his childhood very convenient help
i'll putting new barn on his homestead.

said, and just as each of you may do.

out Of them than the Government pays. Or.
in other words, for receiving pay direct or in
direct from those from whom they purchase
on Government account. Under these circum-
stances, it is not wonderful that the Secretary
of the Navy has apparently made up his mind
to dispense with any such agencies; hereafter
directing the regular officers of the service to
mako all coal purchases, except where it may
be absolutely necessary, on special occasions,
to employ a special agent for such purpose.
