believe it is possible to build up much
larger tailoring business in Alexandria than
has ever existed here. believe also that
while PRICES is factor, the first and mos;
important thing is THOROUGHLY GOOD
WORK. In other words while men want low
prices they also demand good cloth and we'll
cut, and we'll made garments have bought
both here and in Europe bigger stock of
high grade cloths than usual, and at advsn.
tageous prices. l have the best workmcn
that money can hire. and Pm attending right
to business myself as have been these twelve
years. have carefully counted the cost of
everything; have figured not how much
such work should bring, but how little can
do it for, and I'm going to make the price

THE BRAINS OF A CHICKEN.
Strong Language Used by F. S. Camp
Regarding His Enemy,
R H HOag.

The bitter war between r. H. Hoag,
son of a New York millionaire, living at
S26 Eddy street, and f. S. Camp, the New
York journalist known as ''Hinkey P.
Swift" was intensified by the language
with which they addressed each other in
Judge Mogan's court yesterday.
The charge Of threats against life pre-
ferred by Camp against Hoag was en-
tirely lost sight of in the raking up OF
the past life of the two men. Hoag al
legged that Camp was "a deadbeat of the
worst kind" and was owing people every
where he had been. Camp retaliated by
charging Hoag with being wife heater,
who shouted You are a lar! The
Judge threatened to order them both into
custody for contempt of court, and quiet
was restored. but only for moment,
when Camp, in his anger at the questions
asked him, said:
That man is built like John L. Sulli-
van, and has the brains of a chicken; He
is known in the East as Fighting Dick
Hoag' His father is not a millionaire,
but lives in a fat in Harlem and if he
is worth 300 900 he is lucky.
Hoag restrained himself by an effort
and a personal conflict was avoided, but
nearly brought on again when Camp
characterized a statement made by Hoag
as an unvarnished lie.
The Judge said he would render his
decision Tuesday. AS Camp left the court
room he was arrested on warrant from
San Jose charging him with defrauding
an innkeeper. The complaining witness
is Mrs l.. A. ErksOn. He was released
on giving $500 bonds, accepted by Judge
Mogan.

WASTED ESTATE
OF HIS WARD
Grave Charges Against
Robert l.. Greer.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE. Sept. Robert l.. Greer
of Palo Alto has been cited by Judge Hy
land TO appear before him on September
10 and show cause why he should not be
removed from the guardianship of Rose
de Courcy, an insane person. This order
was made at the request of FRANCESCA
Queviedo and Julia Ramos, mother and
sister of Greer's ward, who charge him
with conniving to tnjure Rose de Cour-
cy's estate and being unsuitable to man
age the same.
On June l. 1894. Rose de Courcy was
committed to the Agnews Asylum. She
owned two lots in Palo Alto valued at
$500, but incumbered with a S4OO mort
gage. In consideration of the mortgage
she agreed to rent the lots to the Park
inson Lumber Company for three years
for $40 per year, the same TO apply on
the interest. Greer was made guardian
of the person and estate In June last
he asked permission to sell the lots, al
leging that ii was necessary to pay the
