This is an increase 81 new cases and

Of deaths throughout Russia will reach
an unparalleled figure Conservative
estimates of the total already reached
places the number OF cholera deaths at

ONE day recently French doctor,
who had company to dinner, sat quiet
ly chatting in u corner of the drawing
room, when he was told that patient
had come to see him who was strongly
recommended by some fellow-practi-
TONERS and whose card was brought in
by the page. The doctor submitted
with bad grace and stepped into his
surgery. The visitor was in an adj
vanced stage of consumption. The
bronchial tubes were in deplorable
condition and the vocal cords nearly
worn out. His physician was in the
habit of asccrtaining the condition of
the patient by asking him to count,
and generally stopped him at thirty or
rty-fve-quite long enough for the
purpose. This time, also, DR.. p
asked his patient to count. Time
passed on. and the guests began to feel
alarmed at his protracted absence.
One of them opened the surgery door.
DIR. P had gone TO sleep in his arm
chair, and the patient had counted up
to eight thousand six hundred and for
ty-two.-Le MatiR.

SHE GOT HER CHILDREN.-Mary
Dover, a young woman who has been
separated from her husband, daringly
kidnapped her children Wednesday
night by forcing an entrace into the
house, corner of Broadway and Boerum
street, Brooklyn, at midnight, where
the children were sleeping at the time.
When the couple separated four
months ago, Dover kept the three
children and placed the two youngest
in the care of a carpenter.
Dover resides on Lynch street. and
has the Oldest child, boy years old,
living with him.
The children had beens so closely con-
fined that Mrs. Dover had been unable
to see them until Wednesday when she
learned where they were
She went to the house, and, finding
the front door open, stole up the stairs
to the floor where her children were
sleeping. She broke open the door,
and taking both by the hand, together
with their clothing, started to leave.
She managed by threats to kill any one
who interfered with her to reach the
street.
The members of the family shouted
for the police, but before an officer ar
rived Mrs. Dover, with the children,
had disappeared.
Mr.. Dover was summoned, and
though he, in company with the police,
searched the neighborhood, no trace Of
the mother and children had been
found up to an early hour this morning.

The utility of the frying pan is not
fully appreciated by those who have
never "camped out" A woman who
made recent soiourn in the Adiron-
dacks has discovered some of the mani
fold uses of this simple utensil. In a
letter to some friends she said: :'Our

A LILLIPUTIoN NAVAL BATTLE
The amusing experiment Of a lilliputian
naval battle can be made with white
chalk and the ordinary table vinegar,
says Haper's Young People. Model,
say, a dozen chunks of chalk to the re-
semblance Of ships, planning the bot
toms evenly, and using matches fol
masts, smoke stacks and turrets. The
rival forces you can distinguish by col
oring the enemy's ships with black ink.
leaving your own white. Having
placed them in pan or plate close to
m imaginary dividing line, pour Q good
quantity of vinegar between the chalk
sticks. Instantly you will hear an au-
dible seething, like the Kissing Of shells
in actual warfare, while ships,as puff
ing up steam, will begin to move for
ward in slow revolutions, leaving be-
hind them streaks of foam such as are
observed in the wake moving YES
sells. When meeting at the dividing
line they will have obtained quite re-
spectacle speed, humping and cutting
together III lllc enuctNOT 10 push one
another farthest from the dividing
line The engagement often proves an
exciting one. OF course, the side has
won which has the larger number Of
ships nearest the ccn:c. after the af-
fray.
The chemical solution of this seem
ing mystery is quite simple. Chalk
being largely carbon combines with the
acid of the vinegar in carbonic acid
the same gases that causes the efferves-
cence ofmost mineral waters. The gases
rise to the surface of the vinegar in
small bubbles Of sufficient strength to
cause the current which turns the
chalk.
Since the patriotic youth will want
to see the American boats win, it will
be well for him to remember that the
best quality of chalk contains the larg-
est proportion of carbon. 1t will also
prove of advantage to plain the chalk
carefully, so as to permit it to glide
easily.

If ALL the countries of the world
were to issue circular not procla-
nation, imposing an indefinite quaran-
tine, for if the twenty days be not deem
ed sufficient, the time will be extended,
upon all vessels from the United States
during the existence ofyellow fever at
New Orleans or smallpox at Boston,
such action would be no more foolish
than Mr.. Harrison's cholera circular
issued yesterday evening, as mentioned
in the GAZETTE Of that day.

ANOTHER ADVANCE of twenty-five
cents ton was made in the price Of
coal yesterday. The tariff tax on soft
coal keeps up the price of that article,
and therefore necessarily assists the
rich owners of the hard coal mines in
advancing the price Of their product.
So rank Il republican as Senator Dawes
says, "if You lay duty on raw ma
terial you discriminate against Ameri-
can labor" Poor, like rich, people
must have coal in winter, or freeze to
death.

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. ?, 1892.
THE REpoRr that De tllird party men

THE REPORT that the third party men
and the republicans in South Carolina
have come to an agreement By which
they shall vote rs a unit next Novem-
Der, and cast their vote for 1.-The man who
at that time shall seem to be most like
" to defeat Mr.. Cleveland, has been
confirmed by the acknowledgment OF
one of the leading parties to that agree
mcnt. There is 10 reason to doubt
that the third party in this State has
come the same agreement with its re-
publican allies, as its leaders say the
present fair election law OF Virginia is
"worse than the Force BILL" and that
ifthey and the negroes don't succeed
at the coming election, they will resort
to bullets at the next one"

WHEN Mr.. PECK, the so-called dem
ocra,ic, labor commissions q New
York, was preparing his recently pub
lished republican campaign document
he failed to observe that the Mckinley
bill, which reduced the tariff tax on
sealsliin sacqucs 33 pei cent. and made
diamonds free, put tax of Hooper cent
on flannel shirts, III per cent. on com
mon wooden goods, 1S2 per cent. OF
common window glass, and l20 per cent
on wooden stockings. Nobody except
Mr.. Peck and his republican coadjutor;
can see how the Mckinley bill has
benefited poor people.

GOVERNOR FLOWER laughed at the
report that Mr.. Cleveland had recon-
mcnded him and Gov. Pattison to send
troops to Buffalo aad Homestead.
And well he might, for though there
would have been nothing really impro-
per in such recommendation, both the
Governors referred TO are supposed to
know as much about their own bust
ness as Mr.. Cleveland does, and any
suggestions from him as to the conduct
of their business would have been de
cidedly out of place, and such as Mr..
Cleveland, of ell other men, would not
have made

THERE Is now some talk of making
Washington a manufacturing city. For
as good reason there might be talk OF
making it a commercial city though
nature is against the latter. Why, the
interest on the investment in the requi-
site land in Washington would eat up
the profits of most manufactures.
Alexandria is both the natural and the
artificial shipping port and manufactur-
ing site of Washington, and, with barges
and tugs, articles manufactured here
can be, and are, delivered in Washing
ton at less cost than if made in some
parts of that city.

Wise old ladies who are conversant
with the ways Of babies assure US
that many a naturally sweet charac-
ter is spoiled before its owner has
been a month a dweller on this mum
dane sphere, and that the seeds Of
selfishness and intolerance are plant
ed in a child's soul before it is half a
year old. While they may exagger-
ate the effect of unwise treatment. it
is certain that the training of a child
begins with the hour of its birth and
it is impossible to tell when the first
effects of example and influence are
stamped upon its nature.
The baby who is allowed to lie
down and go quietly to sleep when it
is sleepy without being rocked and
crooned to for hours, who is never
permitted to be tossed and shaken to
Che verge of hysteria, who has for
its food the articles intended by ma
ture for its use in its early years and
is the healthy happy, little angel
that it will be under those condi-
tons, is JOY in the household, the
traditional wellspring of delight -
