ALEXANDRIA.
ALEXANDRIA AND MOUNT VERNON.


The Alexandria electric railway to Mount
Vernon is restoring the fitness of things as re-
spects the pIgrimages to the home of Washing
ton. Alexandria was almost as much portion
OF Washington's home as Mount Vernon itself
He built his town Office here on Cameron street
as soon as he began life at Mount Vernon. and
his relations with courts, elections, church and
lodge here made up no inconsiderable portion
of his life. Formerly the pilgrims to Noun,
Vernon were obliged to give Alexandria the
"go-by" or see only the riverside, which has
entirely changed from the half circle shape il
had in Washington's time. Now the stay here
affords chance to see all the memorials OF
Washington.
