The Female Stranger.

To The Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
In your issue of May 9th appeared
the beautiful and attractive story of the
Grave of the Female Stranger" under
the initials c. E. E., and the statement
is made that the story was told by "a
special correspondent of the Philadel.
phia Press, writing from Kansas City"
The truth is that the original article,
jlst as it appeared in the GAZETTE was
written by our kinsman, Judge II. G.
McDougal, of Kansas City, and was
first printed in the Kansas City Journal
of January 22d last. As therein stated
Judge McDougal first visited AleXan-
dria at the close of the war, and then
got the story as told from the lips of his
venerable relative. He advised me
some time before its publication that he
had written the sketch and sent me a
copy of the Journal in which it first ap-
peared. M. F.G.

LOO. F.-The Richmond Times of
yesterday says: From all indications,
this year will be one of the most pros
porous that the Odd Fellows have had
in this State for many years. There
seems to be general Weakening up
among the members of this great
brotherhood in this jurisdiction; hard
a week passes without new lodge be-
ing organized. Grand Master Thomas
n. Kendler states that in less than
seven weeks he has instituted five new
lodges in the Tidewater section, and
reports are coming in of others being
organized.

A RIGHT To QUARANTINE.-Solicitor
Reeve, of the Treasury Department,
has rendered an opinion in reply to an
inquiry from DR.. Wyman, supervising
encouragement of the marine hospital
service as to whether the Treasury De-
partment has not the right to maintain
all quarantine restraints necessary at
the entrance ofChesapeake bay" The
solicitor cites the law of August l, lSSS,
providing for the establishment of
quarantine stations at Cape Charles and
other points, and says during the last
four or five years quarantine has been
established and maintained at the
mouth of the Chesapeake under the au-
thority of this law. He says the right
Of a government to enact and enforce
all needful sanitary laws is universally
conceded among all civilized people.

Serstor Chandler Reports His Re-
strictive Me ,sure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. - Senator
Chandler, from the committee on immi-
grafton submitted to the senate a re-
port on his bill establishing additional
regulations concerning immigration in
the United States by increasing by three
the number of excluded classes of aliens.
The first class are the iiliterate over 12
years OF age, and in speaking of these
the report says that in view of the
alarming change which is taking place
in the character of immigrants that are
swarning into the United States the
measure is not a harsh one Aged per-
sons are permitted to come in and
join their families The second class
are those persons partially or wholly
disabled from manual labor. They are
to be made the subject of special in
quiry, and proof must be produced that
they win not become public charge.
The third class are persons belonging to
societies who favor or justify unlawful
destruction Of property or life. Under
the present law, says the report, they
can enter the United States but the
measure proposes to remedy this condi-
ton of affairs.

The Assistant Cashier of am Atlanta
tGa.) Bank Disappears.
ATLANTA, Feb. 24.-The disappear
ance and defalcation of Assistant Cash
ier Redwine, of the Gate City National
bank of this city, is the biggest fnan-
cial sensation in Atlanta for many
years. During the morning thorough
examination of the banks aSairs was
made by officers of the Clearing House
association and they reported that the
defalcation was about $65,00O. They
say that Redwine must have taken the
bulk of this within the past few days,
and that he probably left with $50, 900
or $40, 900 on his person. The clearing
house officers declare that the Gate City
National bank can pay depositors every
cent and can pay stockholders in full.
The greatest mystery about the affair is
Redwine's disappearance. Up to this
time absolutely no trace has been found
of his whereabouts. He walked out of
the bank bareheaded, borrowed a hat
from bartender in the basement of
the bank building and nothing has been
seen of him since.
