ALEXANDRIA.

THE WAY ALEXANDRIA SLAVES OFF EPIpEMIcs.
The city enjoys excellent health and no
shadow Of an epidemic isabroad. 1t used to be
said that to insure healthy summer in Aie1an-
dria recess Of the city council must take place.
1t had been observed that when the city council
sat at midsummer there was nearly always O
panic about some coming disease and extra sp-
preparations for sanitary purposes were forced
through in the clamor When however there
was no council the health of the town was al
ways good and no appropriations were needed.
Hence the summer recess Of the council has be-
come necessity to prevent sickness and save
money. At present the health Of the town is
exceedingly good and council is in recess until
October.

sion to refer TO the present efforts of the Ten

TO GUARD AGAINST THIEVES.
The Police Somewhat Troubled Over I
Restrictions in the Special Appropriation

The Police Somewhat Troubled Over the
Restrictions in the Special Appropriation.
The police are somewhat troubled about the
matter Of affcrding the proper protection to the
visitors during the encsmpment because OF the
restrictions thrown around the $1,000 appro-
priation by Congress, which it is thought will
operate as an inducemsnt to thieves from lie
west to come here and ply their vocation. The
act appropriating the money reads:
"To meet the expenses for maintaining pub
lie order in the District of Columbia ON the
occasion of the national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, to take place in
said District in September, 1892, $1,000. pro-
vided that policemen borne on the rolls of the
police force of the cities of New York, PhiladeI-
phia and Baltimore may be employed. and
none other outside Of the District of Column
bia."
Under the provisions Of this act policemen
from New York, Philsdelphia and baltimore
only can be employed and they must be mem
bere OF the regular police department Of those
cities. While Maj. Moore anticipates no trouble
In securing men from those cities. he readily
understands the necessity Of securing the SER
vices Of men from such other places as Chicago.
Cincinnati, st. Louis and Pttsburg. but Of
course these men cannot be paid from the ap-
preparation.
1t is generally supposed by the police that the
act was passed in that shape in order to shut
out the Pinkertons, and this. they believe. will
operate to the advantage of the crooks, although
the Washington officers arc well acquainted
with many of the ight-fngered gentry and will
not hesitate to make them leave the city as soon
as they reach the depot.
During inaugurations and other celebrations
detectives from other places, including Robert
Pinkerton and corps of his men. have always
been employed, and during the last two inaugu-
ratlons the Pinkertons we're virtually in charge
of the detective arrangements. On these oc-
casions the thieves did not reap a harvest as
they did during the Garfield inaugural when
the local men were assisted By other city off,
GERS.
Under the terms of the bin the police will be
ex-Pinkerton man who is at present chief Of
the Philadelphia police force. Capt. Linden is
regarded as one Of the best men in his line Of
business and the police hope he will repeat his
good work done here on former occasions.
In expending the appropriation Maj. Moore
intends to appoint 300 special policemen, who
will receive compensation Of $3.50 per day.
These men will be selected as they were during
the last Inauguration, and they will be APP
portioned to the different precincts for patrol
duty. With this number Of special officers to
guard property on the outskirts of the city
many of the regularly uniformed men can be
utilized down town. where the crowds will be
the thickest. Applications are already being
received for the places of special policemen and
Maj. Moore hopes to be able to secure 500
good men for the service.
