Brief reference to the history of our

Exactly two years ago, In response to
the wishes of hosts of patrons, who
complained that the prices asked for
Furniture were most unreasonably ex-
cessiye, we added to our then already
extensive establishment n thoroughly
appointed Furniture Dopartment-re-

Success attended this undertaking

our selling space by the addition of
another floor to our Clemence Street

Office. The academy. ne said, has bat

by the Baptist denomination in Southern
California. The property, worth $50, 900.
through misfortunes had been mort,aged
two years ago. There was danger OF its loss,
when Mr.. A. p. Griffith of Azuss. a phil
an:hropic capitalist and prominent Bap-
fist, volunteered to assume the mortgage
for term OF years, his taking IL remov-
ing the possibility OF foreclosure. Mr..
Griffith desired to see demonsti ated the
successful running OF the school. Early
in 1895 the board of trustees offered the
control to Mr.. Charles Albert Wheat, who
had been most acceptable teacher dur
ing the preceding school year. A lease
was made by which Mr.. Wheat and his
brother, the business manager, have the
property free Of rent, taxes and insurance
for term OF years. The school, under
its new management, is carefully watched
by the gentlemen whose generosity make
its continuance possible. The outlay of
considerable capital has, naturally, been
necessary. This has been made by the

CHARACTER OF THE SCHOOL.
The academy is Christian school that
has for aims the fitting of students for
the BEST colleges, and the preparation for
the practical work Of life of those who
cannot go to college; in all students to
awaken the moral and religious sense, to
train the will and to develop sturdy,
manly character.
The instruction given is in accordance
with the requirements OF the university

offered petitions had been hardened

praying bands of city missionaries.
Their faith in the efficacy of prayer was
founded on experience. 1t was genuine
and simple. In q, few other cases
special meetings for prayer were held,
but in most cases the members of the

their petitions in their homes. At all

THURSDAY EVENING. NOV %, 1895

TIE Secretary of War, 10 his report,
lust made public. makes a strong
recommendation in favor of the long
proposed memorial bridge across the
Potomac at Arlington. The need OF
such a bridge has long been apparent,
and it is hoped that Virginia's entire
congressional delegation will give the
bill providing for its construction their
most effective support. The Long
Bridge is not safe bridge for horse
travel, now by reason OF the numerous
railroad trains constantly passing over
it, and there is no other way of cross
ing the river except by the roundabout
one at the Aqueduct Bridge at George
town, and that, it is probable, will also
soon be made dangerous by the pas
sage of steam or electric cars. A bridge
at Arlington would secure the compile
ton of the Mt. Vernon Avenue and
then there would be safe and pleasant
drive from here to the federal capital.
AS means to help both the bridge and
the avenue, that lart of the route OF
the latter from the Driving Park to this
city, the construction of which by the
supervisors of Alexandria county has
been suspended by private land suit
should be completed as soon as possible.

DEATH OF GEN. THOMAS JORDAN
Gen. Thomas Jordan died last night at
his home in New York. General Jor-
dan had been suffering long time
from tuberculosis. Gen. Jordan was
born in Luray, Page county, Va, in
1919. AT sixteen he entered West
Point, He served all through the Sem
mole campaign and afterward was in
the Mexican war. he was also with
the troops in California and Oregon.
At the outbreak of the civil war he g.
signed and joined the Confederacy. He
was made brigadier general, and served
as chief of staff with General Beaure-
gard, and fought at the first battle of
Manassas and at Shiloh. At the close
of the war he took the side of General
Beauregard in the latter's quarrel with
Jefferson Davis, and wrote an article for
a magazine denouncing Mr.. Davis. For
this he was criticised severely in some
quarters. He was connected with the
Memphis Appeal for some time after
the close of the war. When the first
Cuban instruction broke out General
Jordan enlisted and fought during
1S69-7O against Spain. He eventually
became commander of the rebel forces
in Cuba. AT Las Menas de Tana, on
Christmas Day, 1870, with only GOO
men he held in check $500 Spanish
soldiers until his ammunition gave out.
He came 10 the United States in 1871
to intercede for Cuba and endeavored
to have belligerent rights granted the
insurgents. he was arrested on the
charge of violating the neutrality laws,
and held for trial. He was never tried,
however.
