The board of directors of the Alexan-

Washington street. to receive and in.
ducl Into office the new president, Mrs.
NJ. w. O'Brien, who has so kindly con-
sented to devote a portion of her valu-
able time to the interests of this latest
but most benefcent of Alexandria's
charitable institutions. The board had
the pleasure also of listening to the re-
port of Miss Ivor, the accomplished
kindergarten, giving in detail an &C.
count of the work and showing that
seventy children have been enrolled
during the present term-the average
attendance beiog ffty-and that the
uplifting influence upon the children
and their parents has been very encour.
aging and far-reaching In this work
Miss Ivor has been most efficiently
helped by Miss Janette Fawcett ard
Miss Gisburne. The management again
gratefully acknowledges its indebted
ness to Mrs. Hearst, of California, for
substantial aid in carrying on this work.
But this generosity on her part must be
supplemented by liberal contributions
from our own people if we expect to :
tain the best results 1t is hoped,
therefore, that when called upon by the
board OF directors the citizens generally
will cheerfully respond. and not only
contribute the one dollar-the annual
subscription of the regular members
but as much more as possible, in order
that this really good work may not only
be prosecuted successfully, but its
sphere Of usefulness be greatly enlarged.

FOUND HIS WAY HOME.
A Lonely Fox Hound That Travelled
q Distance of Five Hundred
Miles in Six Weeks.

"Did you ever hear of dog travelling
from Mississippi to Kentucky?" said
gentleman from Houstonville recently
to New York Telegram reporter,
without human companion?
"Well, heard Col. Tee Carpenter tell
of wonderful hound of his. He says
that some years ago he sold hound to
a gentleman of Corinth, Miss. The dog
broke away from the expressman on
the train when in northern Mississippi
and was not heard of for some time.
The Mississippi gentleman wrote to
Carpenter and asked what was the rea-
son the dog had not been sent. Car
penter looked the matter up and found
that the dog had jumped out of the ex-
press car while the train was running
at full speed. About six weeks after
ward the hound showed up at Carpen-
ter's house in Lincoln county. He had
come home alone, being guided by that
peculiar instinct with which dumb ami
mails are gifted. He had travelled fully
500 miles. The dog was never of any
value thereafter and he was completely
prostrated by the trip. He looked like
skeleton when he got back to Ken
lucky, and could never afterward run
fast enough to keep up with Carpenters
other fox hounds" as.s..-.z.z-.--

Spanish EgotisIn.

The Spaniard is filled with that subtle
egotism engendered by medieval re-
ligion which neglected mans relation
to nature and his fellows and fixed his
attention solely on the problem of his
personal salvation. In the olden time it
was not uncommon for a pious Span
lard, on dying, to defraud his earthly
creditors in order that he might pay
masses for the welfare of his soul
make his soul his heir" as the Spanish
say. And the Spaniard still remains
self-centered. He has little capacity
for trusting his fellow-men, for CO.
operating with them and working dis
interestedly to a common end; he is
impatient of organization and disci-
pline, and so, as some one has re-
marked, he is warlize without being
military. We may add that he is filled
with national pride without being real
" patriotic. He still has in his blood
something of the wild desert instinct
of the Arab and the love of personal
independence of the Goth. You would
rather suspect" says an English au-
thor, "that they did but live together
for fear of wolves" AS public serv-
ant the Spaniard is likely to take for
his motto; "Apres moi lie deluge,' or,
as the Spaniard puts it, "El ultimo

SHIP DRILLS.
This Authority Says They Should Be
EnfOrced Board the
ocean Liners

1t is time now that the insurance
companies. which are the only power
recognized by the steamship com
panies, should make law that they
will not insure vessels on which three
drills, to be specified, do not take place
III least twice a month. These drills
are familiar to every man who has
served on board an American man-of-
war, and they ought 10 be made ia
Iniliar TO everyone who serves on a pas
-cnger ship in the ocean trade. These
are fire drill. collision drill and "aban-
don ship" drill, On well-governed lines
these drills-or the first and third at
any rate-are practiced, though none
too often. Frequent practice of these
drills results in every mans being per-
fectly familiar with his station and
duties, so that in the hour when the
drill becomes real performance he is
cool and collected. Furthermore, he
knows that a correst performance of
the duty allotted to him will insure his
own safety, and hence he will not feel
under the necessity of making wild
fight for his life These facts are we'll
known in the naval service, and men
are kept familiar with the duties of
these drills. 1t must be quite evident
to everyone that there was no system
for abandoning ship on the Bourgogne,
or at any rate a very imperfect one.
The insurance companies it seems, are
the only authorities to deal with such
matters. They work for civilized sys
tenn at sea all the time. They compel
ship owners to employ masters and
mates who have passed certain ex-
aminations. and been formally
licensed. They compel ship owners
to submit their vessels to inspection
CT hull and boiler. They compel ship
owners to limit the load of their ships.
The laws bearing on these matters
originated IN the demands of insurance
companies. Now let the companies
demand the passage of laws requiring
the drills mentioned on pain of raising
the insurance rates. The companies
which insure their own vessels would
be reached indirectly, because they
could not afford to neglect precautions
designed to inspire public confidence.
This is a matter which should receive
immediate attention. Bourgogne hor-
rors have no business to occur in an
age of nlightenment,-N.Y Y. Times.

BIKE CRAZE AND RENTS.
How Selling the Wheels on the In
stallment Plan Has Affected
Real Estate.

ga real estate office is not the Klon-
dixie that one would suppose, judging
from the number of men entering the
business" The speaker was success
ful downtown real estate agent.
"Profits," he continued, "have been
whitfield down almost to the vanish
ing point by competition and changed
methods which it has brought about
Not to speak of the reduced commits
sions, an innovation which has mate
rally lessened the real estate agents
chief item of revenue is the weekly
payment CT rents, a system that
sprang up only about year ago, but
has rapidly extended to nearly all
rented properties paying from six to
twenty-five dollars a month.
Tenants formerly stepped up to the
office with more or less regularity
e.nce month. Now we have to go after
them once week-frequently several
times each week--to collect the week
ly proportion of the monthly rental.
This entails the employment of extra
men for that express purpose and
vast deal of extra Office work besides.
The weekly payment habit was first
fostered by the installment houses
and the industrial insurance COM
ranies. With respect to these it had
logical basis, but it extended to coal
and pianos and crayon portraits, and
finally to bicycles.
'It was the bike craze, coupled per-
haps with the rise of the strictly
cheap-for-cash grocers, that forced
real estate agents to take rents in
weekly portions. A workingman's
household paying in weekly INSTALL
ments for piano, velvet carpet and
plush-covered furniture for the par
lor and '9S model wheels for the whole
outfit, from the old man down to the
kid, can't get sufficiently ahead to pay
a whole months rent in advance. So,
in the case of perhaps IS per cent. of
the smaller properties, we have to take
it in weekly dribs and glad to get it" -

THE RED CROSS SERVICE.
How to go About 1t to- Enlist as q
Soldier of the Army
of Nurses.

Many inquiries are received every
day as to 'How to join the Red Cross. y
For the benefit of those patriotic and
gentle women who desire such infor-
nation we print the following, taken
from the official circular as regards
the present war times. In time of
peace there are other requirements,
which are stricken out when there is
& great demand for nurses in the field:
''In order to become sister of the
Red Cross the applicant must be of
unquestionable character"
In cases of emergency, such as that
of the prevailing Spanish-American
war, nurses may be enlisted for special
need upon presentation of certificates
from some reputable training school
for nurses without taking the six
months postgraduate course other
wise required; but it should be under
stood that at the close of the service
in question their relation with the Red
Cross ceases until they can be gradu-
ated in the regular way.
In this connection, however, credit
n
done during enlistment. The certifi-
Gates mentioned are!
(a). Certificate of health and char
acter.
(b). Certificate of graduation from
training school.
Sisters must be within call at all
times, ready to respond to any order
authorized by the president of the
American National Red Cross.
The institution is absolutely neutral
and nonsectarian, not in the sense of
ignoring but of respecting every ma
tionality and all religions.
No salary is paid, but during actual
service the best availabl provision is
made for the support and require
ments of the sisters, In addition, the
applicant will be given blank, which
must be filled in with the age, nation
ality, source of education, experience
in nursing, health, habits, etc.-Cinein-
