pay the duty assessed originally. but,
granting that the calfskin comes in
free, there is nothing to warrant the
expectation of cheaper shoes. There is
not a present, nor has there been for
a long time. any proportion between
the price Of leather and the price of
shoes.
AT present there is a scarcity of
leather and it is likely to be some time
before the market is supplied. Compar-
atively little calfskin has been import
ed in recent years, and we have eX-
ported quite a good deal.
LAS to the shoe. the calfskin leather
is only a small proportion of the ma
terial used in its production. All 9TH

vancing in price. and there has been
general advance on various kinds of
leather A continued advance is as
sured. and within a short time the
price of shoes is to be higher"

SUIcIDE-Mrs. Florence Hall COM
mitted suicide by hanging herself in
the barn at her home near Lorton Sta
ton, Fairfax county, yesterday about
noon. Mrs. Hall went to the barn to
gather eggs, leaving her three small
children in the residence. When she
failed to return the children went in
search of their mother and found her
body suspended from the rafters. The
children summoned assistance from a
neighboring farm house, but when the
neighbors arrived life was extinct.
Mrs. Hall was daughter of Mr.. Van
Davis, who committed suicide about
five years ago by hanging himself to
tree. 1t is said that Mrs. Davis and
her husband had not lived together for
some time and that domestic troubles
caused her to take her life.

The MILK IN THE CoCOANUT.-Two
intelligent and social gentlemen from
Washington came to this city yester-
day for the purpose of looking around,
and while here went to police head
quarters and inspected the cells and
other parts of the building. Chief
Webster entertained them, and during
the conversation the quiet and orderly
state of affairs in Alexandria was COM
mented on by the strangers as being
a contradiction of the statements in
some Washington papers during the
past two months, which left the i'm
preston with people unacquainted
with the facts that this city was q cess
pool of iniquity and law aud order So
cieties had TO be organized for the pur-
pose of purifying the atmosphere. The
visitors said the whole movement
should be apparent to Alexandrians.
1t was no more nor less than the work
OF real estate men in Washington who
were endeavoring to keep people on the
north side of the river. The fact
that the movement was not commenced
until after the November election, they
said, was suggestive. "A new admlnls'
tration was about to come in which
would bring numbers of people to
Washington, many OF whom, now the
electric railway is in operation, would
desire to live in Alexandria or on her
suburbs. In order to check SUCH q
movement, it is made to appear that
this CITY is immoral and in a con-
tinually perturbed state by clashes OF
authority between officials, &c. The
visitors could not understand how
Alexandrians had been misled, or how
they could allow their sympathies to
90 with hostile real estate agents and
their allies, certain Washington news
papers, which are ever meddling with
the city's affairs by precipitating pollti-
cal issues and other eflrontery. The
observations OF theee gentlemen seem
plausible to people of any reflection.
