IN ALEXANDRIA,.
A budget of Happenings and Doings In
That CITY.


ALEXANDRIA, Feb. 10.-l'or somc'ycars
past when an old boat becomes untrlist-
worthy or past repair IL has been the GUS
tom to run her up on the flats or in
one Of the coves near this city and let her
rot. This was the way with the old tug
boat Comet, which was burned to or three
years ago. When the Comet was run
high and dry an cnterprising colored man
was seen getting firewood out of her.
Young Charles Deane, whose father has
boat house near and makes yawls and
OILERS skiffs, told his father that the old
tug could he rebuilt, and as work was slow
this winter they could rebuild her and
take their time. The Comet has therefore
been rebuilt and she Is now at Moores
wharf being fixed for her engines and
cabin. Good judges say she will be one
of the finest tugs on the river in q few
weeks. Her name Is to be M. b. Harlow,
after our efficient and popular city treas
urer. The owners of the boat are A.
Deanc, 7. +. German and Captain w. II.

The old Alexandria Canal is fast disap-
pearing. The banks are being plowed
down and in most places sown with winter
wheat while gullies run along the deeper
part to carry off the water. Nothing but
the towpath is left to mark It, and this in
some places is buried ten or fifteen feet by
new roads that have run across It. Sew
eral Of the bridges have also been re-
moved. Alexandrians greatly miss the
old canal when there is skating. The
basin, now drained and only about the
size of mill pond, is all that is left
therein.

BANNING, THE POOL CHAMPION.
Sketch Of His Life-How He Once De-
feated Roscoe Conkling.

Sketch of His Life How He Once De-
featcd Roscoe Conkling.
Charles II. Manning, the pool cham
pion, was born at Alton, ILL.,, in 1866. His
father was steamboat man, and during
the war was captain of General Grants
dispatch boat. The champion never
played pool until he moved to New
York, about twelve years ago. He
match was with Roscoe Conkling, a
namesake Of the late Senator, then cham
pion of Brooklyn. The match was for
5000 and was won by Manning. He then
played in several amateur tournaments,
always winning the first prize.
Finally, in 1883, he took part in pro-
fessional tournament, in which the best
players in the. country participated. 1t
was held in Columbian Billiard Hall, at
ond street, New York, now Slosson's
place. He. won a prize. Then he went to
Detroit and competed in tournament,
being defeated only by Frey and Malone
by the scores, respectively, of IL to 10 and
II to o. There were ten participants in
the tournament. He next played in a
tournament in Philadelphia, where he
defeated Frey, then the champion, by a
score of IL to 3, and wa. the high man in
shO ouAhoihci' WhVii ~ biohc up lag
has since played in other tournaments in
various parts of the country.
Mr.. Manning. won the championship
from Albert g. Powers of Chicago on June
u last, Powers having won it from DE Orc.
George N. Kuntzsch of Syracuse then
challenged Manning. They played in
Brooklyn at Daly's Assembly Rooms.
They were to play three nights at con-
-tinuous pool, which had replaced the old
championship game of the first eleven
games out of twenty-one. At the end of
the second nights play Manning was 15d
balls in the lead. Kuntzsch didn't put in
an appearance on the third night.
Powers again challenged Manning, and
Manning again defeated him, both time.
easily.
Mr.. Manning's play is distinguished for
its ease and grace of STYLE. by accuracy in
making the shot played for and by SPLEEN
did position play. He thinks Frey, whu
died at the early age of ~, was the best OF
all the pool players. They were great
friends. They never played a match
though they frequently gave exhibitions
together.
Mr.. Manning is now on his way wesl
again, accompanied by Mr.. John G.
Amoss, also u Western man, Logansport
Ind, having formerly been his home
Mr.. Amoss, like Mr.. Manning, however,
has lived during the past few years in
New York. They will leave Washington
perhaps tomorrow night. They are
highly pleased with the National Capital
and will carry away with them pleasant
memories Of their visit.

CHARGED WITH NEcnEcr.


Mr.. Enloe's Resolution Regarding the
Geological Park Commission.
On the 27th OF last month Mr.. Enloe Of
Tennessee offered the following resolution;
Reso1ced, That the Secretary Of the
Treasury be requested to inform the
House of Representatives whether or not
the regents Of the Smithsonian mstitu-
ton have accepted the trust imposed by
the act approved April 90, 1890, entitled
"An act for the organization, improve
ment and maintenance of the National
Geological Park and to report by what
legal authority the Treasury Department
has paid out that portion Of the appropri-
alton made by said act, which has been
expended up to and including the 9th
day of January, 1891
The resolution was referred to the Conf
mittee on Expenditures in the Treasury
Department and has not received the
slightest attention. This afternoon Mr..
Enloe arose to question of privilege and
made motion TO discharge The commit
tee from the further consideration Of the
resolution. He made general attack on
the committee for its failure to do its duty
and incidentally criticized the regents OF
the Smithonian, whom, he said, were not
the proper persons to control the Zoo
logical Park.
Mr.. Atkinson, the chairman of the COM
mittee, IN reply to Mr. Enloe said that he
did not know until to-day that any such
resolution had been referred to his COM
mittce. The committee had not held
many sessions recently, but he assured
the gentleman from Tennessee that his
resolution would receive immediate atten-
ton.
Mr.. Enloe insisted, however on his mo-
ton TO discharge the committee, and a
vote was then taken.

SEAL FISHERIES.
The Animals Will Bccome Extinct I'm
loss Properly Protected.

The Animals Will become Extinct I'm
less Properly Protected.
Acting Secretary Nettleton Of the Treas
ury Department to-day sent to the Senate,
in answer to Senate resolution, num-
Der Of reports from Treasury Agents
Lavender, Golf, Nettleton ana Murray,
and Superintendent Jingle of the North
American Commercial Company showing
the situation Of matters In the Seal Islands.
Some of the subjects treated are the con-
dition and number of natives on the
islands, and the numbers Of seals taken
for food and for other purposes.
Agent Lavender says in a report, dated
last October, that there were no sealing
ut the time, and that the rookeries would
be empied for the season in two weeks
after the date Of the report. Mr.. I.avcn-
der asks for, arms and ammunition for
the Indians to use in protecting the
rookeries, and he refers to the necessity
for issuing supplies of fuel to the natives,
predicting that the islands will be depop-
nlated in few years unless the Govern
men aids the natives, as the few seal they
win be able to kill will not prevent them
from suffering. He adds that the schoon-
ers Will follow the seal into Boring Sea
very early in the spring.
Mr.. Lavender adds his testimony to
that of his associates concerning the de-
plorable condition of the seal grounds
upon st. Paul Island. He says: 1.-THE
large grass-grown areas of these. grounds,
until o comparatively recent period, occu-
pied en- masse by seals to be numbered
by the millions, and now wholly de-
serted by the driving and redriving from
all OF the hauling grounds on this island by
the lessees during the present season in
their efforts to obtain their quota, the
meagre results obtained tell in. stronger
language than / can command the sad
story OF the very near approach OF the en-
island"
Mr.. Golf, the agent in charge Of the
Islands, also calls attention to the de-
plorable condition of the natives, and
says that recent arrivals at the islands
have prevented the population there from
becoming extinct. Pneumonia, he says,
population.
Nj. Goff paints vivid picture of the
indiscriminate killing of seal by pirates,
and contends that the seal rookeries will
in time, If the slaughter is permitted to 60
on, be q thing of the past. In conclusion
he suggests that there be no killing of
fur seals for their skins on these
islands, nor in the waters of Bering Sea
fOr an Indefinite number of years, to be
named by the Secretary of the Treasury,
letting nature take her course in replen-
ishiDg tho rOokeries. He asks that the
Treasury Department take the entire
matter OF. projecting the rookeries under
peals to the Government to take charge Of
the maintenance of the natives for the
present. because there is nothing for them
to SubSist on,

A MINp.REApINe WONDER,
Some of tho Curious Things That Little
Eva Mccoy Can DO.


From, the New York Times, 9TH.
Professor Alexander Hermann gave a
reception to representatives Of the press
yesterday afternoon in his theatre, and
introduced to them Eva Mccoy, q 12-year-
old girl, who recently came to New York
from Detroit, Mich. Little Miss Mccoy
is a mind-reader, and the exhibition she
gave yesterday was clever. She was blind
folded in all the feats that she performed,
and followed the conventional method of
placing the left hand of the "subject' to
her forehead while she held his right
hand in hers.
On a table before her were placed a num-
Der Of letters which are generally mixed
up by the spectators after the girls eyes
have been bandaged. A gentleman volun-
teered as the subject and thought of a
name. This gentleman was Frenchman,
member of Sara Bernhardt's company
and could not speak English. Eva speaks
only English. He thought of the name
Lucille, and the girl spelled i, out easily
Then another gentleman said there was
something scratched on the inner surface
of his watch, and demanded that the
child spell that out, as he was certain no
body except himself knew what it was.
1t was the name II. O. Center and Eva had
no difficulty in spelling it. She then told
another gentleman the combination of
his safe, which was in an office down
town.
Other numbers were read from other
subjects, and then another member Bern
hardts company led the girl blindfolded
to the piano and thought OF the first few
notes Of the "Marsellaise.n Eva picked
out the notes on the keyboard. In the
test of mental photography she was not
So successful. A subject was directed to
think of some individual IN the audience.
Eva indicated the wrong person. Then
she tried another subject and failed
anybody. With the third subject, we'll
known newspaper man, she succeeded in
finding the person thought of, but did not
accurately describe him.
In all these tests the child was in actual
contact with the subject and her sue
cess might have been explained on the
theory of muscle reading. Her last feat,
however, exploded this theory, Unknown
to her, gentleman stuck a small min
through the bottom of chair and ex-
pressed a desire for her to find an object
that he had hidden. He joined hands
with second man; this second man
Joined hands with third and the third
man placed his left hand ON Eva's fore
head. Neither of the two intermediate
men knew what the hidden object was.
nor where 1t had been concealed. And
yet the child, blindfolded and without
ever coming in contact with the first man,
found the pin. This is what is known as
the triple test and is one Of the most diff
cult that mind-readers arc ever called on
TO perform. II cannot be explained on
the theory of muscle reading, for the
minds of the two intermediate men We're
blank as to the object or the place of its
concealment.
Eva says that she cannot explain the
power that enables her TO read what is in
anOther's mind and declares that she snf-
fers no exhaustion or fatigue from her
tests.
