Mrs. BREWSTER, wife Of eX-Attorney
General Brewster, Of Philadelphia, whose
death was announced yesterday, was the
daughter of the late Hon. Robert J. Walker
one Of the most distinguished public men oil
The country, who was Senator from Mis-.
sissippi from 1887 to 1915, and secretary OF
The treasury from 1915 to 1S49.
Mrs. Brewsters early life was passed in
Washington, in the best society and she
grew up to womanhood blessed with an I'M
usual share Of beauty and graced by many
mpishments. In early life she became
the wife of Mr.. Delonde and the mother OF
several children. Her married life, how
ever, was unhappy, and when her distln-
guished father died, in the latter part Of
1862 she was placed in very straitened cir
cumstances, and left with quite family de-
pendent upon her exertions for support
i through the influence OF President Grant,
she was appointed TO clerkship in the
Treasury Department, and it was while
thus employed that she made the acquaint-
ance of Mr.. Brewster, whose wife che be-
came in 1870. BY him she had one child,
now bright youth oI fourteen, who bears
his fathers name.

THE SARCASTIC WoMAN.-Have you ever

Well, she is q pest. The giddy girl the
gushing girl, the lackadaisical miss are not
ornaments whose loss would cause the Worio
grief, but they can be tolerated. the sar-
castle maiden should be suppressed by law.
The school is growing. Nobody likes the
sarcastic girl; everybody fears and many
hate her. Her stock in trade may original
ly have been satire, but has long ago degen-
Grated into impudence, and with the degen-
Grafton has slipped away her ability to see
the difference between what was and what
is-between satire and impudence. She has
been fostcred III the family circle, and gene
rally stays there. She began with mild crit
icisms of her friends and ends with lampoon-
ing them. Now she has mono, and carlca-
lures her acquaintance. Her parents. ap-
pIauded her early efforts, and she retaliates
by STAYING on their hands. The family
think her brilliant. young men avoid her
and what the world knows as a sour ola

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 10.

PLAIN. COMMON sense, home truths are as
necesssry in the consideration of the LABOR
question as of any other. No man who val
ues his own liberty, and consequently res
nscts that of his fellow citizsns, denies the
right oflaborers to strike, and there are occa-
sions when peaceable Strikes rejustihable DE-
fore man as we'll as God. Those casesare where
employers are growing rich out OF under
paid or overworked employees. But in all OF
Alexandria can such case be found :? Ii
there bs one employer here who now or IN
recent wears has made any money by such
means as those referred to, or by any other,
for that matter, it is more than his most in
innate friend has discovered. Of all places
in the world, under existing conditions, an
tagonism, not between labor and capital, lei
there is very little of the latter engaged
here, but between employer and employee
is most injurious to Alexandria. For many
Q wears there has not been either too much
enterprise or too much work here, and why
that little should be lessened or stopped, as
must necessarily be the result of such an
t,gonsm, is what perhaps those who have
fomented it can tell Certainly nobody else
can. If the town people be prevent
ed from putting what little money
they have in investments that re-
quire the employment of labor in conse'
auence of the hostile attitude of labor, 1t /:
hardly to be supposed that any from
abroad will come here to do So
Alexandria is stagnant enough now, in al
conscience. Why it should be made more
so, as must inevitably be the case by an IS
arrangement between the employers ano
employees among lis citizens, passes ordina
~ comprehension.

may be, can weaken the impregnable posi-
ton of the democrats

PERSONAL DIFFICULTY.-A notice Of n
personal encounter, at King George c. H.,
between Mr.. Charles Mason and Mr.. Thorn.

burg STIR gives the following particulars of
the affair:
"NIr. Chas. Mason, gentleman some sew
enty odd years Of age, and Mr.. Thos. Fur.
kins, a young, athletic man, and constable

it seems, about q claim for debt against

autographed to Mr.. l.. an approbrious cpl
tibet, very singing in its character, where
upon Mr.. p dealt him severe blow Oh the
side of the face, fracturing the bone just I'M
der the temple, forcing il in and producing
an indeutation which diSligured The face
considerably. and caused a somewhat unnat-
ural appearance of the eye. The by standcrs
separated them, and, for time there was
no further trouble. This trouble occurred
in the clerks office, and rs soon rs it came
TO the knowledge Of Mr.. Mason's sous, Judge
J. +. and Mr. j. +. Mason, they went forth
to avcnge what they deemed to be q
great wrong done their father; but failed 10
find Mr.. p. A little later, however, Judge
J. r. Mason met Mr.. p. and asked if he
were under arrest. Being answered in the
negative, he attacked Mr.. 2. at once. Mr..
Claude Perkins, n brother Of the constable,
who was close by, rushed up and dealt

about, as was misunderstanding stag
gering the Judge, and badly ipjuring bis
(Purkns) own hand. They were separated,
and there was no further trouble for the
time being. A good many persons expressed
the opinion, in view OF the undauntcd cour-
age on both sides, that it was net 'done
with" Mr.. Mason's injury must he very
painful, and his ago may prevent . speedy
recovery, hut Dr.. Thos. l.. Hunter, who cx-
amincd the wound, thinks his face will get
