AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA
Brotherhood of St. Andrews Meeting al
St. Paul's Church.
Many Other Notes Of an Interesting
Mature From Down the River
Told in Brief

The address Of Rev. DR.. Alexander
Mackay-Smith of st. Johns Church, Wash,
ington, before the Brotherhood Of st. An
drew at st. PauPs Church last night was
one Of the most interesting of the kind
ever delivered in this city and was listened
to with wrapt attention by large con-
gregation. The entire center Of the church
was filed with the members of the brother
hood and their friends. In the chancel
were Revs. Henderson Suter of Christ
Church, Clarence E. Ball Of Grace Church.
Rev. Carl E. Grammar of the Theological
Seminary and Rev. P. P. Phillips of st.
Paul's Church. The evening service of the
Episcopal church, with its impressive mu-
sic, was held, after which DR.. Mackay-
Smith in eloquent words pictured the life
and works of st. Paul and held the atten-
ton of the congregation from beginning to
end. Every one that heard him could not
but feel benefited as each sentence was ut
tered. The doctor held an impromptu 1e-
ception in the vestry room of the church
after the service, and many pressed for
ward to shake his hand and thank him for
his timely remarks. The service was in
celebration of st. Paurs day, and the sub
ject, "St Paul as an Inspiration to Young
Men," was thoroughly in keeping with it,
The brotherhocds of Christ Church and
Grace Church will have similar services
later on.

The Alexandria Assembly.
The young ladies that attended the dance
at McBurney's Hall last night. given by
some Of the members of the Alexandria
Assembly never looked prettier and a more
successful dance has not been given by
this club this season. The miserable
weather kept many away who would other
wise have gone, but even that did not keep
the dance from being most pleasant af-
fair. and it was with deep regret that the
strains of Home. Sweet Home" were
waited over the air. The committee in
charge, Messrs. Douglass. Stuart and o.
w. Wattles, deserve much credit for the
success of their efforts. After the dance
