YESTERDAY, though cold and windy,
was one of the most animated Sundays
Alexandria has ever witnessed. The
number OF strangers in the city was lit
orally legion, and during the entire
day long lines of people could be seen
coming from and going TO the depots
and ferries, " lille the electric cars en-
ployed on the streets were whizzing
along at short intervals crowded. The
rolling stock of the Mount Vernon di-
vision of the road was taxed to its full
est capacity TO meet the demand for
transportation. and from an early hour
in the morning until long after dark
cars passed TO and fro through the
streets crowded to their fullest capac-
ity. Hundreds of visitors interested
themselves in hunting up historic land
marks-the Braddocli House, Marshall
House.. Christ Church. &c.,-whilc
numbers who had been soldiers during
the war sought former camping grounds
and barracks To-day about as many
more strangers visited the city, while
an increased number passed through TO
Mount Vernon. All the cars of the
electric railroad company have been
kept running and so dense have been
the crowds on them that many ladies
and gentlemen were unable to get seats
and were compelled to stand on the
dash board in going to and returning
from Mount Vernon.

of the following cases:
John Dyer, who said he came from
New Orleans, appeared nj the station
house Saturday night with his hand cut
and stated that he had killed Il man in
a difficulty in Washington and asked
to be locked up The Washington au-
thorities were notified. but it appeared
that no one there knew anything of !
tragedy. This morning Dyer remem-
bercd nothing of his former statement.
1t seemed that the alleged killing was
nothing but imagination born of an
overheatcd brain, but it was determin-
ed to hold him short time longer.

that the two men fought and resisted

THE CRUEL ANTS.

We would judge from the comments
of our esteemed cotemporary at Lau-
rens, the Herald, that no one ever got
drunk on dispensary liquor. Only those
who want whiskey for medical pur-
poses and in cases of sickness buy from
the dispensary. Is that the idea? we
gather from the various comments on
the question by our contemporary that
the reckless shooting OF pistols, ana
other disturbances Of the peace IN our
sister city were due to the presence
somewhere in that vicinity Of "bllnd
tigers" The dispensary and dispensary
whiskey are beautiful moral agents and
promote temperance and sobriety, and
if YOU see any one with too much
'booze" you must begin to search at
once for "blind tiger" for you may
be assured he never got drunk on dys-
pensary whiskey. That, we take it, IS
about the position of our contemporary.
Some sort of showing must be made
to the Legislature. II the scheme Is
not q bowling success as a money max
ing machine, then it must be demon
strated that it is great moral scheme,
and if there is any place where there
has been no decrease in the number of
drunks it is proof positive that there
are s'blind tigers" in that neighbor-
hood which are doing all the devilment.
If the scheme is great revenue raiser
it makes little difference about the
other side Of the question, but there
must be two two horns upon which to
hang. That seems to be about the Sit
uation now.
The Herald even claims that these
ants will 60 so far as to have whiskey
given away to persons who will get
drunk in order to make it appear that
there is as much drunkenness under
the dispensary as before. In other
words, if the law is failure, some way
must be found to throw the burden Of
its failure upon the ants. Oh, these
cruel ants. What can We do, and
what will we do with them? Orbetter,
perhaps, how could we get along with
out them?
But it will not be very long now
before we get some information as to
the financial side Of the question, and
Gov. Tiliman is gathering statistics OF
crime from the various towns and
cities to show up the moral side.
