sue, said he had supposed Bibles were
allowed to come in free, but had found
himself in error, as duty was paid on
them also. Some Bibles referring TO
the revised edition. had entered free of
duty. but they were found to be for the
use of republicans, as hell had been
knocked out of them and sheoi inserted
instead Laughter Mr.. Meredith
closed by predicting that Virginia
would would roll up $4,000 democratic
majority next month, as the bottom had
dropped out of the republican party i'll
the Old Dominion, and he presaged the
success Of the ticket throughout the
country.
Mr.. Moore was then introduced and
made one OF his characteristic speeches,
which abounded in solid and incontro-
vertille facts, forcble logic and no lit
tie eloquence. He tackled the same Is
sues Mr.. Meredith had expatiated on,
and in mastery manner portrayed the
evils which would surely follow the re-
election Of Dir. Harrison. In speaking
OF the third party movement he SAID ne
sympathized with every farmer labor
ing under the uniustness ofadYerse leg
islation and deplored the fact that III
their desperation some had enlisted
under the banner of these ilusionists.
There had been, lie said, one third party
man in Fairfax, bat he had returned to
the democratic fold. He concluded his
speech by saying that in past years Al
exandria had been looked upon as the
leader Of the democratic hosts in North
ern Virginia The same was expected
of her now, and he had 10 doubt that
such expectations would be fulfilled at
the coming election.
At the conclusion of Mr.. MOore's
speech the meeting adjourned, and all
who attended were loud in their praises
Of the speakers.
Among those who occupied seats on
the stage during the meeting were
Mayor Strauss, Commonwealth Attor-

poration Attorney Brent, Delegate
Bendheim. Mcssrs. John A. Marshall,

During the delivery of Mr.. Meredith's
speech a democrat in the audience, who
was under the influence of liquor, evil
IDENTITY not knowing what he was talk

speaker made was id lie. 1t was
apparent the interrupter intended no of
Tense to Mr.. Meredith, but not under
standing the purport of the speakers
statement, had thus interrupted him.
Some sensation followed. but quiet was
soon restored.

PUBLIC SCHOOL ITEMs.-Mr Richard
l.. Carne, City Superintendent of Pub
lie Schools, has gone to Maryland on
business and will be absent several
days.
By direction of the City Superinten-
dent of Public Schools, there will be
general holiday on Friday, the 2lst, in
honor of the Tooth anniversary of the
discovery of America by Columbus.
Snowden and Hallowell schools will
have joint celebration of the landing OF
Columbus on the morning of the 2lst
inst.
1t appears from the September report
that ll6 more pupils attended the pub
lie schools this year than ever before.
Part Of the new furniture ordered by
the School Board will be placed in po-
sition tomorrow for use on Monday.
it is said that at meeting of the Ep-
worm League at one OF the colored
churches last night one OF the teachers
OF Snowden School attacked the man
aremcnt of Hallowcll School. asserting
that children were not well taught
there and had to 90 into lower grades
when they went to school elsewhere,
aud that nobody there could do the
teaching required. and that consequent,
" the higher classes of colOred girls had
to be sent to Washington. He was
sharply replied to by one Of the teach
ers of liallowell and then one Of the
Washington teachers, who was refused
a certificate by our City Superintendent
a wear or so ago, rose and said that
there were no advantages for colored
Girls in Alexandria and they should be
Sent TO Washington for education. The
affair has caused great excitement
among the colorcd people here, especi-
allv as the first named teacher is de,
feated candidate for the principalship of
Haliowell School. A teacher of that
school says that so far from going lower,
two Of her girls who passed the 9TH
grade last year, and were promoted to
the 18th, went to Washington instead OF
returning, were examined there and as
signed 10 the Sth grade.
