drawer Containing 81. 81 in pennies and small
change carried away.
The track walker discovered that the front
door OF the depot had panel broken in. aud

Immediately went TO the depot and made
an examination. He found that after gain
ing admission to the waiting room the
burglar had pried of the grating which
covered the ticket window and through
the opening had entered the agents room,
where he broke of the money drawer and
carried il away. A crowbar and a few other
tools which had been taken from the black
smith shop Of Vim. Milstead were found in the
waiting room.
Mr.. Fisher saw q colored man. a stranger
lettering about the depot about O'Clock lsst
night and noticed him particularly. The track
walker reported meeting colored man walk
ing on the track at the southern boundary Of
the town a few minutes before aud his descrip-

seen about the depot last night.

The Queens Dog.


In the early part of the year 1865, while the
second regiment Of Life Guards were chartered
in the cavalry barracks at spitsi, near Windsor,
an order was given for the destruction Of al
dogs in the barracks. On the morning Of the
day on which the canine friends Of TIE troopers
were TO be DESTROYED her majesty, the queen,
made an inspection Of the Windsor garrison,
and while passing through the quarters Of the
second Life Guards, accompanied by the colonel
OF the regiment, was much attracted by the
appearance Of a small but very pretty terrier
dog named Dick, belonging to Corp. Wood
house. one Of the bandsmen. The Queen
paused. caressed the little dog and spoke TO
it. This saved its life, for the colonel gave
orders that Dick should be allowed to live.
while the rect OF the dogs were killed in ac-
cordance with the edict that had gone forth.
Dick for many years after was tho favorite of
the regiment and was honored with a collar
decorated with the regimental buttons and on
the plate Of which were some lines narrating
how the animals life was saved.

The officers of the Ivy City Jockey Club SO
far made public are as follows: President, John
A. Busby; secretary. Thomas Campbell; assist
ant secretary, G. C. Pettus; treasurer, Charles
E. Meyer. 1t is expected that Senator Black
burn of Kentucky will be the presiding judge,
and his associates in the stand will be WELL
known racing officials. Negotiations with
Jimmy Rowe are in progress. and there is little
doubt that he will handle the flag. H. Clay
Ditmas Of New York has secured the betting
privileges. and it is expected that at least thirty
bookmakers will hang up the odds on the OPEN

crease as the meeting progresses. In addition

bookics on the track the principal pool rooms
throughout the country will also post the Ivy
City events.
Assistant Secretary Pettus of New York, an
experienced turf writer and racing official win

the club. and that all reports connecting the

ALEXANDRIA.
THE FREE DELIVERY EXAMINERS.


Messrs. Morris Burroughs. J. 2. Lash and G.
II. Keegan have been designated as examiners
of letter carriers at the post office here. The
examination is a very simple one. or course
the applicants must read and write and have
the general knowledge that every boy in the
public schools fifteen years old possesses. Be-
sides this the applicants will be tested at deci-
phering scarcely legible directions on
letters and as to their knowledge
Of Alexandria, all with a view of securing for
the free delivery service those who would prob
ably give the people of Alexandria the most
satisfaction in the delivery Of mail. The pres
ent carriers are quite effective and it is thought
not likely that under the civil service rule as it
will be enforced in MIR. Cieveiand's administrs-
ton there will not be many changes especially if
such change would incommode the people to
whom the mail is delivered.

when a violent thunderstorm makes it's appear

subsidence Of the disturbance. It is stated that
on one line, where an account has been kept,
the loss Of revenue due to compulsory stop
pages during thunder storms amounts to over
$4,000 per year. An ingenious form of light

overheating or overrefrigerating destroys the
flavor and nearly paralyzes the sense of taste.
and thereby the pleasure Of taking is iessened
greatly by the two extremes OF heat and cold
DR.. E. A. Evans. the house physician Of the
Palmer. said: "Hot drinks are very injurious
to the system unless great care is exercised by
the person taking them. Under a phyncians
directions they may be Of great benefit, par
ticularly in cases OF indigestion, but patients
are never given hot drinks except where there
is a nurse to watch the temperature and pro-
vide against the patient taking cold. A hot
drink will open the pores Of the skin and start
the blood circulating, and the least draft is
liable to clog the pores Of the skin and bring on
a severe cold. A person breathes through the
pores Of the skin and they should be kept in
good condition. The breathing through the
skin is almost as important as the breathing
through the lungs. Hot drinks have much the
same effect on a lessened scale as q Turkish
bath, and all physicians agree upon the care
one must take to prevent cold after taking
Turkish bath. As the hot drinks are usually
taken consider them extremely dangerous"
