FIRE ALAEMs.-The fire alarm about six
o'clock this morning was caused by the
burning of ;ha shavngs deposited ia the
! Rooms adjoining the engine house at Perry
Smoot Il Co.'S. saw and planning mill, on
north Lee street. The fire department
| quickly answered the summons, and in q
few moments 10th steamers aud the hook
and Ladder truck ware on the ground and
prepared FOR work, the Columbia reel hay
ing Deen brought TO the mill By squad OF
poiicemen who had just been relieved. The
IRE was quickly extinguished. 1t had
broken out in the same room which was
lound burning yesterday afternoon, and a
thorough search Of the premises WAS made
10 ORDER 10 ascertain how the shavings had
lgnited, when it was found that the floor of
the room was charred demonstrating that
the TIRE had hscn in progress for some time.
IL Is thought that both fires were occasioned
BY spontaneous combustion.
The n'a:il 81 fire between twelve and one
o'clo"k today was caused by the burning
Of grass field belonging to Mayor Smoot
near Col:oss. The fire was started
by sparks f'on' q passing locomotive. Last
Sunday morning ire was kindied in the
same way ia the stubble between the tracks
Of The Virginia Midland and Alexandria and
Ere d"rcksaHrg Railroads about mile weet
OF the city, which burned all day and ex
tended over 81 area of two squares.
CANAL FORECASTS The Alexandria cor
respondent TO the Washington Star says:
since the fact that the Alexandria canal
is 20 90 without water for navigation here.
after has been settled, many inquiries are
made ~ to the uses to which it will be
put. rs capacity fsr railroad purposes is
evident, and very short line across the
marsh at AleXander's island would bring q
road aiorG its bed to the south end of the
Long bridge. Heretofore, owing to the
lac that The canal water came almost en-
iircly fram the Chesapeake & Ohio canal, not
even lis waste water could he used as water
power. but il is thought that now the brooks
Of Alexandria county above The canal level
may lie made feeders to small stream
along lis bed that, delivered at the height
of the basin on Washington street here,
may be utilized for manufacturing purposes
in The valley of Yeaton's marsh. 1t is un-
derstood thut Mayor Smoot has suggested
that smooth carriage road could be made
on ii, away from the dangers OF the railroad
and capable Of being of special utility if the
great memorial bridge across the Potomac is
constructed"

Street Flirting.

Whatever the idea of the young
girls who practice street flirting may
entertain of their seemingly innocent
pastime, it may be set down as a GER
tainty that when q respectable young
man desires the acquaintance of one
who. may some day become his wife,
he does not go out on the street and
seek her acquaintance through tiirta-
ton. But, on the other hand, the
firt of tie street, no matter how in
nocent and fair her intentions may
be, is tho lastp erson he would select as
Iife's companion. He desires purity
without and above suspicion. The
young girl who engages in this kind
of a pastime should bear in mind that
she not only endangers her reputation
and leaves a stain on her good name,
but that her name is a by-word among
those with whom she flirts, 70, be BAN
died about on the street and
in the low-down places im the city,
fastening on. Ter otherwise fair name
a stigma or stain: that will follow her
years after she. sees her folly and at
tcmpts to mend her ways.-Er.

making of gentlemen's headgear.--
BY a new process of manipulation,
Hats more scrviceable and finer than

It is believed that felt hats will have
to take a back seat as soon as these
new hats can be placed in the market
in sufficient numbers to supply the
demand. They are certain to revolu-
tionize the hatter's trade, as they can
be nodded into any shape or style de-
