A HANDSOME SCHOOL BUILDING
The Building Register has as a supple
ment this week q handsome cut of the
Hume public schoolhouse in the JEFF
terson district of Alexandria county.
1t is Just south of the Arlington es-
tate. 1t is named after Mr.. Frank
Hume, who recently represented the
county in the legislature, and who is
now chairman of the Board Of Super
visors-and who has always been a
strong advocate of public schools, and
successful worker for the advance
ment and prosperity of tho county.
The Register says the plans were
drawn by B. S. Simmons, VINO is be
coming well known on the other side
of the Potomac, having drawn the
plans for a handsome school house in
the northern part of this county,
which was completed last year, and
for the new Sunday school room to the
Presbyterian Church, at Ballston. lie
now has under consideration the plans
for large school house and public hall
at the same place, to build next sum-
mer. He is also preparing plans for u
County courthouse to submit to the
Board of Supervisors of Alexandra
county.
The school officers of this county are
Superintendent John E. Febrey, and
Trustees A. P. Douglass, Harvey Bal
ley and James E. Clements, Of Arl
ington District Harry Febrey, ID. X.
s. Decide and S. NJ. Dodd, of Washing
ton District, and L. Il. Sisson, John
Robcrtion, and George w. Sal
isburv, of Jefferson District.
All of the trustees are in favor
of improved school facilities, and Trus-
tee Clements has made several strong
speeches before the County School
Board in favor of graded schools
throughout the county. 1t is thought
now that every year will see fine
graded school house erected in the
county-until every school district has
at least one. Trustee Sisson is i'll
charge Of the school house. Mr.. A. w.
Nurse, of Ballston, is the contractor.

The birds Of this State are starving or freez-

forward our best efforts to prevent their de-
struction. | have advertised to thc farmers
of Virginia that if they will catch, house, and
feed them, we would permit them to turn
them loose on their own farms after March

per pair up to one thousand pair. / have also
agreed to supply with trash wheat merchants

trouble to feed coveys near their premises. To
this appeal many are giving heed, and money
is needed to carry cut our bargain. hid

CHARITY is most commendable
enality, but it is often wasted upon un-
worthy objects. 1t is said that the
opening of soup house in Lexington:
Kentucky, has induced large number
of people in that city to quit work en-
tirely. Its reported that among the
applicants for assistance at the rooms of
the relief association Of this city, are
many able-bodied people who refuse to
work, and several who are drawing
pensions. Still, it is better that charity
he thrown away upon many, rather
than one worthy object should suffer.

The Norfolk and Westerns Fight TO
Enter Washington.

Enter Washington,
One of the stubbornest fights during
the present session of Congress, and in
which an active and persistent lobby is
engaged. is that made by the Norfolk
and Western Railway Company TO Cd
tain an entrance to Washington through
the old city of Georgetown, when Is le-
gally part of Washington, and winch,
during all its existence of century OF
more has never had railroad within
IFS borders. The n. & w. bill passed
both houses of Congress two years
AGO. but failed to become a law. Inc
present bill has been opposed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company on
the ground that Congress was about 10
compel that company to build q new
bridge across the Potomac in place OF
the historical Long Bridge, and that all
railroads entering Washington from
the south should be compelled to use
the same bridge, whereas the Norfolk
and Western bill involves bridging the
Potomac above Georgetown. The citi-
zens of Washington, by mass meeting
and petition, forced the passage OF the
bill through the House, and 1t is now
in the Senate committee. The bill IN
wolves something more than simply the
entrance of the Norfolk and Western
into Washington, for should the Nor
folk and Western obtain the privileges
it desires, the Baltimore and ONO
would have belt line around the city
of Washington, with two important
terminals in the heart of the city. Inc
Baltimore and Ohio already has Ma
rvland charter to the District line on
the southwest. 1t has also acquired
the charter of the Washington and
Western Maryland road from the Dis,
trict line to the Aqueduct bridge, and
also the charter of the Washington
Dock and Barge Company from the
Aoueduct bridge to Rock creek, and 1t
is working in harmony with the Nor
folk and Western IN secure Tor the iat-
ter road right to use the Baltimore
and Ohio tracks, and also to gain ac-
cess to Washington over Rock creek.
The great advantages which such an
entrance would give to the southern
roads has led to demand on the part
of the Richmond and Danville, the
Washington, Ohio and Western, the
Virginia Midland, and the metropolitan
Southern to be allowed to use the
tracks of the Norfolk and Western III
case Congress should grant charter to
the latter road. There is every indica-
ton that the fight begun in the House
will be continued in the Senate, because
the new measure involves the building
of an entire new set of terminals within
the boundaries of the CITY, \. Sun.
