wife for the man of high aims; and with such

Life itself begins with such a union: the old

river acted as a stopper TO the pipe, and the
rise or fall Of the water determined the note il
gave when blown by small bellows driven by
"A very small water wheel. A microphone was

Alexandria will have no halliday schools out
side the Kindergarten schools Superintendent
Carne has arranged so that by giving one or
two schools a number somewhat in excess OF
the standard all the schools above primary will
continue. as heretofore. to he all-day schools.
1t was the intention of the school board to dis
continue the halliday plan as soon as possible
Fortunately it has rot been necessary 10 begin
1t. The schools will open on Monday all full

THE MOUNT VERNON RAILROAD.
The Mount Vernon Electric Railway Com
pany cannot use lightning in constructing the
road, but is using every expedient to carry the
work on as fast as possible in the face Of diff
culties. Part of the country road over which it
is necessary to haul the heavy boilers. &c. for
the power house are laid ont in a marshv
region. and no similar loads have ever passed
over them before. The road crust gives
way under the weight and the transportation
is extremely difficult 1t is expected. how
ever, that the boilers will reach the
power house today in time to be put in early
next week. The Alexandria city track needs
only the trolley wires to be ready for the cars
and these wires will soon be in place. The road
gangs are busy. but find some of the road line
between the creek and Mount Vernon almost as
hard to deal with as rock. The work however.
goes on. Exactly when it will be completed
cannot be determined but il is feared that one
month will close before the cars can be run to
Mount Vernon.

located here are industriously Ut work en-
deavoring to keep people away by circulat-

and boarding-h house keepers. little
variety Is given just now to their efforts from
the fact that they are predicting that the
