A New York World dispatch
from Washington says: "Chairman

from. President Cleveland written

bis disappointment must be keen
and lasting. He urges him, though,
not to dispair, and says that be,

THE DRIVING PARK Mr.. j. NJ.
Hill, for the owners of the Gentlcmen's
Driving Park lea this city, is having
that park gotten in readiness for rae
ing. 1t appears that the new anti
gambling bill will not affect legitimate
horse racing, mol will it affect a~ssocia-
tions from conducting such rae
ing that have heretofore been
granted a charter. The park will be
conducted under the charter granted
the association some time since and
the best horses in the country will, it
is said, be brought there for races,
which are to be held at stated periods
during the year. Already a large force
of men is at work getting the park in
readiness for the spring races. Mr.. Hill
will eudeavor to secure a mile track
and buildings to cost about $40, 900 have
been contracted for. Large numbers
of horses will be stabbed there, and
much money will be spent in this city
for material, feed, ETC., while a number
of men will be given employment.

THE INFIRMARY.-A meeting of the
medical staff of the Alexandria Infirma-
ry recently elected by the trustees of
that institution was held on Thursday
night with all the members present tx
cept DR.. Klipstein. DR.. Jones acted as
chairman and DR.. Ashby as secretary.
A committee was appointed consisting
of Drs. Gibson, O'Brien, Kiipstein and
Ashby to prepare suitable rules for the
government of the medicel and surgical
staff of the institution. This commit
tee will meet on Monday night next to
prepare these rules and will submit
them to the full meeting Of the staff on
Thursday next. The Infirmary is now
in a position to be of great good in the
community. 1t was hoped that the
legislature would make an appro-
priation in aid Of this worthy institu-
ton but as it did not do so the people
of Alexandria and vicinity should see
that the Infrmary does not suffer for
lack Of support.

NJ. A., rector of st. Paul's Church,
Washington, d. c., thus fulfilling his en-.
gagement to preach here one Sunday in
Lent. He is a preacher of great power
and earnestness and a very successful
church worker. st. Paul's is one of
the most rapidly growing churches in
Washington. 1t will be remembered,
by the way, that the rector of Grace
Church was called here from St. Paul's.
The rector's lecture on 'Church His
tory" at Grace Church last night was
full of interest, as it was about that
most interesting period, "The Reforma-
ton and the English Revolution" and
the preservation of the continuity of
the English Church through that pc
riod.

CONSIDERATION IN A HOUSEHOLD
\ physician of this city was yesterday
employed by q life insurancecompany to
examine a colored woman in Fairfax
county who was about to take out q
policy. The doctor upon arriving at
the house, found the woman, her hus-
band, seven children, q dog and q cat,
all in one room. While making the
necessary examination of the candidate
for insurance, the old woman, who
seemed excited and apprehensive. said,
is you 3 night doctor?" The physic.
an, who was in q pleasant mood, replied
" am" meaning he was ready to re-
spond to nocturnal as well as daily sum-
mons. The answer precipitated a scene
both ladicious and serious. The woman
gave vent to a shrek that re-echoed
through the n%eighboring woods, fell
against q kettle of boiling water which
was upset on the dog, the cat made a
dive for safety in a barrel, the children
mingled their shrieks with those OF the
mother, imagining she was soon to be
on a dissecting table, and the husband,
with the notion that the physician
was on a hunt for live subjects. picked
up an axe with which to defend the
household. The doctor. upon realizing
the serious result of his joke, proceeded
10 explain matters, when the husband
slowly lowered the axe, the woman re-
gained her nerve, the children became
pacltied and the yellow orbs ofthe feline
protruded over the edge of the barrel,
but the dog, which had been deprived
OF some of its fur by the contents of the
Kettle, kept at a respectful distance
until the doctor left.

cal experts in Washington for examina-
ton. The teeth not having penetrated

sion of any serious result.

The FISH BILL.-Ihe following Is q
COPY of the bill which has passed both
branches OF Congress to increase shad
and herring in the Potomac river
Be it enacted, &c, that from and at
ter date of passage of this act, for a pc
Rod of ten years, the provisions of the
act approved March I'd, 1885, and en-
titled IAN Act to protect the fish in the
Potomac river in the District OF Column
bia, and to provide a spawning ground
for shad and herring in the said Poto-
mae river be, and the same are, con-
tinued in force as follows: That it shall
not be lawful to fish with fyke net,
pound-net, stake-net, weir, float-net, gill
net, haul-seine, dip.net, or any other
contriyance, stationary or floating, in
the waters of the Potomac river within
the District of Columbia.
Sec. ,. That any person who shall Of
fend against any of the provisions Of
this act shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and upon sufficient proof
thereof, in the police court or other
court Of the District Of Columbia, shall
be punished by a fine of not less thar
ten dollars nor more than one hundred
dollars for each and every such o%ilense,
aud shall forfeit to the District his nets,
boats, and all other apparatus and
appliances used in violation of law,
which shall be sold; and the proceeds of
such sales, and all fines accruing under
this act, shall be paid into the treasury:
provided, that nothing in this act
Shall he construed to prohibit angling
or fishing with the out line or to pre-
vent the United States Commissioner
Of Fish and Fisheries. or his agents
from taking from said waters of the
Potomac river in the District of Column
bia, in any manner desired, fish Of any
kind for scientific purposes or for the
purposes of propagation.
Sec. ;. That it shall be unlawful to
allow any tar, oil, a|mmoniacal liquor,
or other waste products of any gas
works or of works engaged in using
such products or any waste product
whatever of any mechanical, chemical,
manufacturing, or refining establish
ment to flow into or be deposited in
Rock Creek or the Potomac river or
any of its tributaries within the Dis
trict of Columbia, or into any pipe or
conduit leading to the same and any
Il guilty ofviolating this section shall,
on conviction, as provided in section
two Of this act, be fined not less than
ten dollars nor more than one hundred
dollars for each and every day during
which said violation shall continue, to
be prosecuted for and recovered as pro-
yided in the preceding section.
The boundary line between Virginia
and the District of Columbia is laid
down at the low-water mark Of the
Potomac river on its Virginia shore,
and, consequently, the entire waters
belonging to the District are under the
authority and subject to the provision
oflaws enacted by Congress. All the
other portions of this river are control
ed Jointly by the two States of Mary
land and Virginia, and all laws relating
thereto made by one State must be
ratified by the other before they can 60
into effect. This renders it w,li-nigh
impossible to ecure protective legisla-
ton.
