For THE A. l.. Where are the old
members and so-called friends of
the ever popular Alexandria Light In
fantry? Do they know that they are
being ridiculed on account of the poor
showing the Alexandria Light Infantry
have thus far made in the voting con-
test now going on in Washington for
the handsome silk banner to be pre-
sented to the most popular company in
the inaugural parade? Must our brag
company be so ANONYMOUSLY defeated
in such contest, and by a squad Of
school cadets Is this lack of interest
or is it an oversight? Suurely the lat
fer. Think of the many times they
have come home to us with high honors
after competing in the field in compel
alive drills with some of the best COM
panies in the country. This should not
be. when a few votes from each of
their friends will Justly give the banner
to the best drilled and most popular
company in this city, at least. Let our
people see that while they are little
disfigured they are still in the ring"

JOHN JAsPER's sun SERMoN.-ln
Richmond on Sunday morning Rev.
John Jasper preached his sermon ON the
"sun do move" for the first time since
March, 1891, and he will probably new
er again deliver the famous discourse.
People were packed into every space
in the church and hundreds went away
unable to get inside the doors. About
three-fourths of the congregation were
whites. Hon. John Z. Massey, Rev. ID.
James Nelson, Rev. DR.. c. II. Cosey
and Rev. DR.. e. n. Calisch, rabbi OF
Beth Ahaba, honored the occasion with
their presence and the three Christian
ministers conducted the preliminary
services. Jasper's voice was not as
strong as it was two years ago but the
old man was more eloquent than ever
before. His closing appeal to the peo-
ple to honor the teachings of the Bible
was a burst of natural eloquence and
his hearers, forgetting the place, gave
expression of their feelings in applause.
Jasper has preached this discourse hun
dredS of times.
