FILING a BoND.-President G. E.
Abbot, of the Washington, Alexandria
and Mt. Vernon Railroad Company, ap-
peared before the District of Columbia
commissioners on Saturday for per-
nit to construct the road within the
city limits. He said an arrangement
had been entered into with contractor
Saxton, who is building the Metropoli-
ton road, to commence the construction
of his road as soon as the permit was
issued. He objected, however, to the
large deposit required by the commits
sioners, and said that $1,000 was too
much. in view of the shortness of his
road within the city. 1t would only
traverse IL miles 10 the city. In reply
10 question he said there was no doubt
about the ability of the company to
build the road. Only four men were
interested in the road, and they had al
ready expended S344 900. He did not
object to filing suitable bond for
5000, but did not think the company
should be compelled to lose the interest
on a certified check, as required. The
commissioners intimated that proper
bond would answer the purpose, and it
Is believed the permit will be issued to-
day.

with smiles. The grass was never

blooming in profusion, and the trees
were rapidly filling out with new leaves;
Fruit trees were full of blossoms, and
the air was enriched with their sweet
doors. Such attractions were found in
the superbs ofthe city, and to enjoy them
many people made haste to get beyond
the confines of brick walls and paved
streets. The churches here were all well
attended: many persons were on the
streets and there was an increase i'll the
number of visitors to the city, while
many Alexandrians visited Washing
ton. The regular excursion steamers
did large business and many smaller
pleasure boats were on the river all
day. The night, too, was bright and
mild and many remained on the streets
till late hour.

A WORD ABOUT LADIES

Shirt ais is.

A fact that you are perhaps
not aware of. Do you know
that we are manufacturers of
these goods ? True it is that
we have one of the largest
shirt waist factories in this
country. Our plant is in Phil
adelphia. We employ large
force of hands and supply the
representative houses Of the
country with our product.
Therefore does it not appear
reasonable that our prices must
be right and below competi-
ton You do not pay the
middleman's profit. You are
buying direct from the manu-
facturer and paying only a
small advance above first cost.
Our goods are all made over
LIVING MODELS by expert hands
and a fit is guaranteed. The
workmanship is unexcelled. In
consequence of these facts we
are warranted in asserting that
we can sell you a waist COM
plete at the price you pay for
the material alone. Don't be-
lieve us ; come in and convince
yourselves.
The leader is the one at

joicing among the people at Mr.. Cur
IONS estate, Kadleston, near Derby,
England. Lord Scarsdale, Mr.. Cur
IONS father, gave 500 tenants LUNCHEON
in the hall just before Mr.. and Mrs.
Curzon arrived. Later he went on
horseback to meet the bridal couple
and escorted them to the hall beneath
scores of triumphal arches. Mrs. Cur
IONS beauty and handsome costume
were rem parked generally by the persons
watching along the road for her and her
husband.
At the hall Mr.. and Mrs. Curzon re-
ceived from the tenantry an Illuminated
address on silver salver, with inscrip-
tions. Mr.. Curzon's speech to the ten
ants was greeted with repeated cheers.
After thanking them for their. welcome,
he said:
"The question has been asked why
went to America for bride. The an
swer is before you." (Cheers) Mr..
Curzon placed his hand atiectionately
on Mrs. Curzon's shoulder, and the ten

to the scandalous behavior of those dis
orderly persons who congregate on the
steps of the postofiice building, and by
their obscene language and actions in
suit those who may happen to pass
thereby. Many OF the shameless semi
civilized are the sons of respected citi-
zens, who, if they were aware of the
conduct of their sons, would be great

ternoon a gentleman, his wife and lit
tie daughter were passing the postof-

of an act too vulgar to describe in
print, and his associates, who were no
better than he, gave him encourage
ment to repeat his filthy act by hearty
laugh. SUFFERER.
