jr'T at This time a visitor to the historic Old
tow. 81 Alexandria would he surprised and
cEalHcd with the variety and abundance OF
roses there. Alexandria Is especially ccle
lr&ttd fer three thngs-its beautiful women.
IL clear, pure water, and its prOfusion of
roses. The latter are now at their best. The
hast two days Of smshiny weather have
brought ont myriads of buds that have long
waited with modest impatience To turn their
faces To the admiring world. Being more
than century old, and having always had a
population OF unusual Intelligence and cul
ture, Alexandria has everywhere gardens and
yards in which rose culture has been carried
TO pitch seldom seen in towns outside of
France. 1t j. doubtful, indeed, II there Is in
AmeriCa-LoS Angeles eXccpted-a town In
which roses are seen IN such quantities and Of
so fine a quality You see ~rOses-red roses,
pink roses, yellow roses, white roses-with all
the intermediate colOrS, in every yard their
bushes climbing up every porticO, every wall,
fence, gate-pOst, arbOr, or whatever It may
be. The air Is fragrant with their perfume.
You see them in everybody's hand The little
girls carry great punches Of them TO school.
The older girls wear heaps of them as corsage
bouquets. Boys and young men all wear
them as boutonnieres. ON sunday mornings
remind one of the hall OF Il flower exhibition.
Selling them is ont of the question. They
have no price at all, they are so plentiful. If
you make visit you are asked TO take rose.
or bunch Of them, as readily as you would be
To take a chair, or a glass of water. 1t Is no
uncommon thing for one citizen to possess a
hundred rose bushes, ana fifteen, twenty, or
thirty varieties. They grow as easily
as the grass, and are as flaw.
less aS the blue sky itself. To
see the roses alone would rccompense one for
the trouble going TO Alexandria leaving out
If consideration altogether the clear, limpcd
water and the divinely beautiful women.
Perhaps IL Is the living in an atmosphere Of
roses that adds 10 the beauty of the AlcXan-
dIia women, How does one know that the
leauty Of the rose might not through associa.
tiun be lent To the face of wOmankmdg Do
we not say there are roses IN the cheeks of
every beautiful girl; And IL the roses of
Alexandria are more beautiful than any other
roses, Is 1t not easy TO understand that Alex
andria girls are the most beautiful in the
world because they have Alexandria roses in
their chcGks-nut To- speak OF the advantages
Of drinking Alexandria water; ii you don't
believe all this, 20 To the lovely old town of

1t was classic speech, magnificently deliv-
erred p 'fN t.Ii '.i
When the orator reached his peroration
and put Grover Cleveland in nomination, the
restraint of his audience passed all bounds.
A Cleveland tempest burst over the hall.
Ten thousand throats were opened and ten
thousand hands began to wave hats, handker-
chiefs and whatever came handy. The tenn
pest increased in intensity. The Thurman
men seized the opportunity, Haunted their
bandannas and made red sea of the conven-
ton. The, tornado had lasted ten minutes
when Gen. Pat Collins began to use the gnvel
in an effort to stop 1t. 1t was like adding
fuel to the flames
Suddenly magnificent effect was pro-
duced. A huge painting of the Capitol at
Washington adorned the end OF the hall
above the gallery shading the platform. The
pictured entrance to the great building had
been veiled. The veil was drawn aside, and
a life sized portrait of the president ap-
peared in the doorway Of the Capitol. 1t
thrilled the multitude like a shock of cleo
tricity. Men and women acted as though
mad with delight. Hats were thrown into
the air, regardless of their fate; umbrellas
