WASHINGTON HOUSE.

Just below Post Conw is the old Tur-
ner estate where once stood the Wash
ingtpn house. THIS farm is part of the
large tract of land which has been in the
possession of this family since the severn
teentb century. Ii was first owned by a
DIR. Turner, who settled on the Rappahan-
mock about 1850. This land Is still held by
the descendants Of this pioneer. Just

Just opposite to Port CONWAY. in Caro-
line county. is Port Royal. Ibis was once
a iiourishing Gown. During revolutionary
days II came IN one vote of being chosen
as the capitol of the newly-organized

Movements on the Exchange to-day
were of slight Importance. az is evidenced
by the transactions, which reached only
about one half of Yesterdays small total
The dealings footed mp only 1l7,0O0 shares
and were confined almost entirely to the
trading clement on the board. There was
scarcely any business for outside account,
and the commlsslon-houses are not en-
courGgIng speculative operations, owing
to the difficulty of securing time-loan ac-
cOmmodatlons, the business troubles of

creased earnings With the view OF
adding TO the uneasy feeling some
stocks were sold on sellers option at
prices 10 3 points below the quotations
current, and even bonds were attacked.
LITTLE SELLING FOR LONG ACCOUNT.
Despite all this. however. there was
comparatively little selling for the long

Arkansas School Charts.

Thos. l.. Cox, who is we'll known Tn this county and who is special agent for the American Book Company's school charts favors us with copy of the Ar kansas edition.
 The act of the last legislature limited school districts to $25 for supplies and incidental expenses. In other states larger appropriations are made for these purposes. The complete School Chart is sold in other States from $22.50 to $30 but owing to the urgent demands of Mir Shinn and by especial arrangements with the American Book Co.,, MT. Cox is permitted to sell them at d somewhat lower price.
 These charts are largely used in other states, there being already 75,000 of them in use. The Arkansas edition is by far the best edition. It contains an admira- ble synopsis of our state history, a full analysis of our state civil government, a special map with statistics of popula- ton and two valuable charts on the gov ernment system of land surveys, especial ly adapted to the requirements of the law compelling land surveys to be taught in all our public schools
 In fact it is complete and universal text book for the whole school, more knowledge can be had at d glance and impressed more permanently upon the mind than will ten times the amount of study put in the regular way. Every district should certainly have one of these admirable charts. A sample may be seen and examined at this office.

Here is a capital story of Mr.. Edward
Lloyd, the well known tenor. He sell
dom sings in private, but ON one occa-
sion, when visiting some friends little
way out, he was prevailed upon to do SO.
a clergyman who was present was not
aware of the identity of the singer and
at the conclusion of the song approached
him quietly and said:
"Really, sir, you should not waste your
voice like this. Now, we are in need of
another tenor in our choir. I shall be
very happy to give you $50 year. Think
it over"
The singer smiled and said he would
think it over.-London Tt-Bits.

Generalship end Book Knowledge.

The greatest soldier who ever lived
Alexander of Macedon-though he slept
with Homer under his pillow, had prob
ably never seen book on military art,
and though Won Moltke was student,
we may be permitted to doubt if Marl-
borough ever was. He read only Shake
speare zealously.
Certainly in our time no able man who
wanted chief for any great undertake
ing of any kind would dream of asking
the limits of his reading or would be
able to avoid silent prejudice against a
candidate, partly unreasonable, but part
ly also the result of Evolutionary expe-
rience, if he knew that he was in any
special degree n student of books. He
would think him Il man apt to be misled.
Indeed, in one great condition of eff
cheney, perhaps in practice the greatest
of all conditions, we should assign to un-
read men-we do not mean uneducated
men, but men who never voluntarily
open books-a definite superiority. They
are apt to choose men better Soldiers
who do not read make no mistake about
their general.-London Spectator.

Tho Duke ofYork Is nricIs.

Several weeks ago one of the boys at
tending the Queen Elizabeth grammar
school at Kingston, Logan by name,
wrote privately to the Duke of York and
suggested that he should use his influ-
ence to secure the boys of the royal
school an additional weeks holiday at
midsummer as an appropriate way of
celebrating the recent suspicious mar
riage. The Duke of York appears to
have approved of the idea, for Il few
days ago the governors of the grammar
school were surprised to receive IL letter
from Sir Francis de Winton stating that
his royal highness would be pleased if
they would grant the asked for holiday.
Nothing was known by the masters or
other authorities of the request made by
the boy till the letter was received from
Sandringham. AT Il meeting of the gov
errors it was unanimously agreed to ac-
cede to the request. The announcement
was received with ringing cheers for tho
Duke and Duchess of York.-London

One of the lovely nymphs who was

among her belongings gown which the
prosy man who pays the nymph's bills
considers not Il dream, but very sub
ssantial reality, as it cost him $500 over

that took cold while the carriage waited
ut the door of the modistc when the
gown was being fitted. He had been

Rossini's Memory.

The composer of ''Il Barbiere di Sivig-
LA" was blessed with not very reten-
tive especially for names of
persons introduced to him-a forgetful-
ness which was frequently the cause of
much merriment whenever Rossini was
among company. One day he met
Bishop, the English composer. Rossini
knew the face we'll enough and at once
greeted him. "Ah, my dear Mr.. --,"
but he could progress no further. To
convince him that he had not forgotten
him Rossini commenced whistling Bish-
ops glee, "When the Wind Blows" a
compliment which ''the English Mozart"
recognized and would as readily have
heard as his less musical surname

Long Walk of IA son,nambulist.

Mrs. Jennie Finliin of Eighth and
Spruce streets, Camden, was found wan
dering on the streets at o'clock yester-
day morning by Officer Frederick
Weight at Broadway and Bridge avenue.
The woman was attired in q, wrapper,
and her hair was hanging loosely down
her back. she was walking slowly, and
when the officer approached her side he
was astonished to hear her snoring,
although her eyes were open. He adj
dressed her in low tones, but received
no answer. He then grabbed her by the
arm. This aroused her, and when she
found that she was on the street she fell
to the pavement from astonishment.
She recovered in a few minutes and ac-
cepted the protection of the officer to as
sist her home. Mrs Finkin is said to be
subject to attacks of somnambulism.
When she was found by the officer, she
was nearly two miles from her home
