An Alexandria Lady in Luck .

One of the corporation officials has
fallen into rare good luck. A few days
since Mr.. G. w. Clifford, superintendent
of lolice, received letter from the Unit,
ed States Treasury Department inclos-
ing a check for interest on United States
4 per cent. bonds in the name Of his
wife. Mrs. Mary G. Clifford. He knew
that Mrs. Clifford held no bonds, and
went to Washington to make inquiries.
He there found that some person un,
known had bought at the Treasury De.
partment $500 in United States 4 pei
cents in the name of Mrs. Clifford, and
directed that they be sent to her al
Alexandria. Mrs. Clifford has the bonds
but cannot imagine who her unknown
friend is. The whole affair is myste
rious one, but very pleasant.-Alesandrit

England d's Busfn ess Outlook

The Baltimore Sun says there is

these will be- increased by the extreme

of the Bank of England in fortifying it.
self by increasing its specie reserve and
raising the rate of discount seems GER

the panic which threatened few days

probably be dismissed. This is evi-

the Bank of England for the week end

marked improvement over previous

Mr.. WOOlley's Resignation.

1t is to be regretted that the circum-
stances were such at the meeting OF the
Board Of Education last night, that Mr..
Woolley, one Of the most conscientious
and upright members Of that body,
deetnsd them sufficient to force his Ie-
tir.msnt from the Board. None will
imputs any thing but honest intentions
to Mr.. Woolley however much they may
critcise his reasons for resigning. We
thought Mr.. W. should have remained,
but he thought differently, and his
reasons we're sufficient to himself to in
duce the action which he has taken.
Though advantage may be taken Il a
little technicality in the laR, there can
be no donbt that the $500 referred to,
appropriated by the State and collected
from Old School District No. 10, should
be reckoned as a part Of the revenue OF
the Board and should be deducted from
the amount asked from Council As
necessary to carry on the public Schools
next year.
The School Board needed jrst 500, ,Ooo
to carry on the schools for that year,
let the money come from where 1t would
bat the Board having source Of reve
nue. of 81 800 on hand, the Financ'
Committee, Of which Mr.. Wooliey was
chairman, we think very properly de
Quoted that amount from the sum re
qured, leaving b64 400 as the amour
to be as ed from the City Council. This
however, was changed by the action o
the Board led by DR.. Grimshaw, an,
the whole amount of S66, 900 was asked
from Council, leaving the 81 500 ou
of the question. To this action Mr.
Woolley took exception, and quoted pre-
cedents to show that such thing hat
never been done before, and deeminl
the action to be Of such characte
that he could not conscientiously Civ
it his support, he urged his resigna
ton, first from the Finance Committee
which was refused, and, there being n
other plan by which he could clea
himself from all completely in such pro
c-edings, he offered his resignation
; from the Board, which was accepted.
