Alexandria, Va. ! Washington, D. c.
I believe it is possible to build up much
larger tailoring business in Alexandria than
has ever existed hele. l believe also that
while PRICES is factor, the first aud most
important thing is THOROUGHLY GOOD
WORK. In other words while men want low
prices they also demand good cloth and well
cut, and well made garments. l have bought
both here and in Europe a bigger stock Of
high g-ade cloths than usual, ard at adysn-
tsgeous prices. l have the beat workmen
that money can hire, and I'm 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 il for, and I'm going to make the price
$40 PER SUIT, and Robert 7. Grimes's
we'll cut, well made TROUSERS at %.

SCATTERED THOUGHTS.

1t is not wisdom to put your
trust in man, for he might fall.
All are liable to fall-even the best
men do fall.
Is it possible to lcultiyate, en-
courage, and draw out the good
that is in man that the evil. in
him will berestrained, checked,
or discarded?
The wicked and thoughtless, re-
gard all present qualifications as
the main thing to be acquired.
The love of riches, honor, social
and fleshly qualifications fill their
souls, and the measure of their
ambition.
You have noticed that when q
man has risen to fame has
achieved some great or supposed
great victory-how our people
praise, honor, and worship him.
If he then fails in any point to
meet the expectation of his wor-
shippers makes some mistake
begins to totter-the very people
that have lauded him, will give
him push on the down grade,
and even rejoice at his downfall.
To the Christ-like light, peace,
happiness, joy in God: to the wick
ed-darkness, gloom, misery,
despair. The Christian ) peace
and happiness far exceeds all the
worldly pleasures of the wicked.
Gloom and sorrow may at times
casttheir shadow on therighteous,
but the clouds will be dispelled
by the sunlight of the most potent
Power that ever existedmthat
power thattillsall space-is every
where present. lw4 'n' -. -.

DEATH OF HOBART.

The death of Vice-President
Hobart last week recalls the fol-
lowing bit of history in reference
to the deaths that have occurred
among the executive heads of the
nation. Since the organization
of the government in 1889, four
Presidents have died, viz Will
lam H.Harrison, in 1871; Zachary
Taylor, 1850; Abraham Lincoln in
1865, and James A. Garfield, in
1881, thelast two by assassination
Death made no vacancy in the
Presidency until 184l, more than
half century after the first in
auguration, but George Clinton,
Vice-President under Jefferson
and Madison, died In 1912. Will
lam r. King, elected with Frank
lin Pierce in 1852, qualified as
Vice President in Cuba, where he
spent the winter of 1858 as an in
valid and where he died before he
reached theVicePresident' S chair.
Henry Wilson, elected with Grant
in 1872, died in 1875, and Thomas
A. Hendricks, elected with Cleve-
land in 1884, died in 1885.
The position of Vice President
is not filed when vacated by death
or resignation, but the Senate
chooses a Presidentpro tenn, who
does not now succeed to the Pres
idency in the event of the death
of the President. The position
is now filed by Senator Frye, of
Maine.

A MEMORIAL BRIDGE.

Preliminary Surveys have been
made at Washington for a me-
mortal bridge across the Poto-
mac river stretching from Wash
ington to Arlington.
According to the survey made
in 1897 the bridge will start from
the south end of Observatory
Hill, near the foot of New York
avenue. 1t will cross Water
street and Potomac Park and
strike the Potomac river at a
point directly opposite Arlington.
1t will span Analostan Island and
Little river and touch the Vir-
ginia shore on the Georgetown
and Alexandria road, about two
hundred yards north of the Sher-
idan gate of the National Gene
terry.
The original estimates approx
mated a million or two million
dollars. 1t would not be surpris-
ing if the amount finally decided
upon should triple or quadruple
the original S2,000,009 estimate.
The structure is to be ga Me-
mortal to American Patriotism. I"
In its scope and purpose it will
include the valiant men of every
section of our common country.
1t will represent no North, no
South, no East and no West, and
no particular war from 1776 to
1899, but it will perpetuate forev-
er the heroic deeds of all men
known as Americans throughout
the world.

Room For Him Too.

A bland aud patronizing New
Yorker was passing through a
raw and new hamlet in the west,
whichitspro founders had dub,
bed B City and were sure
would soon become a thriving
hive of human beings. Address
ing a lank and lazy youth who
was lounging at the door of one
of the rude shanties that passed
for "shoe emporium, the New
Yorker inquired sarcastically:
"Who is that important looking
gentleman with the red flannel
shirt"
"That's Sam Peters," was the
pround reply "He's just open
ed the new post Office.
"And the tall person with no
collar?"
"He's Long Mike. Just open
ed a grocery store"
"And the plump individual with
the bald head?"
Handy Jim. Owns the new
saloon.
"IndeedY" said the New York
er. "Your city seems to be pret-
ty well started. | should sup
pose there was nothing left for Il
stranger like myself to open.
"Oh, / dunno!" drawled the
lanky one. "We amt got no
loonatic asylum yet. You might
start that. - New York Tribune.

A WINDOW sMdsHER.

An eccentric or malicious Judi
vidual by the name Of Joseph
May, says the Shippensburg
Chronicle, smashed three fine
plate glass windows in Carlisle ON
Friday last. The first was Hart
zell's confectionery on West High
street, and he deliberately threw
a pair of pliers through the win
dow. Henext attempted to break
the glass in the show window at
Choate's photograph gallery but
failed, but had better luck at the
Farmers Bank, where he broke
one pane, about 2x3 feet. Con
lyn's iewelry store is next door
and here he broke a fine French
plate window. He then ran but
was soon caught by an officer,
who had some difficulty in arrest
ing him. May lay down fiat on
his back and declared that he was
dying. He was hustled off to jail
and when in his cell turned on the
water and lay down in it until it
was about two inches deep on the
floor.
May was given a hearing in the
evening and it required the unit
ed efforts of Sheriff Harris and
Deputy Kenyon to drag him from
his cell to the office When he
was being taken back to his cell
he pulled the door shut suddenly
after he and Deputy Kenyon had
passed through, evidently with
the inteutionof overpowering Mr..
Kenyon, but Sheriff Harris jerk
ed the door open in a flash and
collared the belligerent He gave
them considerable further trou-
BILE before he was finally landed
in his cell, where he will remain
until February term of court.
May seems to have a mania for
smashing windows and this is uot
his first offence. He has served
time both in the Jail and in the
insane department of the conntry
home.

THANKSGIVING.

For us, 0 Lord, the year has brought
It's bloom and harvest glory;
TO us, through changing seasons,
taught, .a
Thy truth, in Gospel story. -.
Again our voices join in song,
And bring their glad Thanksgiving
To thee, to whom all years belong,
TO Thee, the everything.
We oft have sung with joy-crowned
brow
OF Thy new love upspringing,
And some who joined our songs are
now
Amid the angels singing.
But friends below and friends above
Unite in glad thanksgiving
To Thee, whom all Thy children love,
To Thee, the everything.
Thy power in prayer we oft have felt,
Thy sympathy most tender,
And seemed to see, as we have knelt,
Thy face in veiled splendor.
For all these joys from Paradise
We bring our glad thanksgiving
To Thee, who every good supplies,
To Thee, the ever living.
So may we join from year to year,
Thy goodness ever singing.
And each at last with rapture hear
The bells of glory ringing.
Then, safe with Thee, again We'll raise
Our voices in thanksgiving
To Thee, in more exalted praise,
To Thee, the everything.

THE MERCIEs oF,FHE LORD.


The recurring season never
fails to find the same repeated
mercies. We thank God this
year for the same blessings as
claimed Observation-Disclosures
giving day. Again and again it is
recounted in that book of the Bi-
BILE which is all psalms of praise
how unfailing and repeated is the
goodness of God. "The mercy
OF the Lord is from everlasting TO
everlasting" ''rhy mercy, O
Lord, endureth forever. " Let
this, then be day of gladness
for all our people, whatever their
condition, race or religion. Let
rich and poor together praise God
to-day. Let Protestant and Cath
olic lift up the voice Of simulta-
neous thanksgiving. Let this be
NATIONAL holidayof praise oGod,
and day when each shall add to
the others joy by gifts, and aid,
and fellowship of praise.

A healthy mind in healthy

appetite goes for any thing, Viii
son College girls are certain of
mental destruction. From an ex-
change we learn that if the cook
wants to give the girls eggs for
breakfast, she doesn't think of
frying less than thirty six dozen;
if chicken for dinner, it takes sew
enty and large ones at that; and
then, when they have turkey, if
there are not forty roasted there
is danger that some girl must do
without a piece.

MT. UNIONS NEW CANISTER
WORKS.

The building of the new ganis-
ter works at Mt. Union is pro-
crossing rapidly. From the
Times we learn that the side
track leading from the p. r.. r.
main line about two hundred
yards west of the freight office,
and extending almost to the
breast of Faust Bros. dam, has
been completed, and they are
now receiving from four to six
carloads of material per day, such
as red brick, fire brick, lumber,
machinery, etc. The foundation
walls for the large drying house,
l40x200, are now completed, and
the carpenters are at work fran
ing the building.
The brick boiler house, size
4Ox6O, will in a few days be ready
for the roof, and which has al
ready placed in it three Erie City
boilers, of one hundred horse
power each. A large steel crush
er has also been erected which
has a capacity of crushing 500
tons of rock per day of ten hours.
The foundation for the grinding
house, size 40x90, is also complet-
ed, in which there will be four
large grinding pans erected with
a capacity of grinding the crush
ed rock in such quantities as to
make 4S0, 200 silica brick per day.
In this building there will also be
located a stationary engine of 225
horsepower weighing $4,000
pounds, built by A. b. Farquhar
& Co., of York, Pa.
There are now twelve large ov-
ems for burning the brick fairly
under way, six of which will be
completed within the next week,
and ground will be broken for
four more within the next few
days, making sixteen in all, with
a daily capacity of turning out
$4,000 burned brick per day.
The ovens are being erected in
line parallel with the side tracks
so as to load the brick from the
kilns into cars.
Grading the incline from the
works up the mountain side to
the quarries is almost completed,
and the track will be laid shortly.
Alarge drum will be placed on
the summit of the mountain to
draw up the empty cars and let
down the loaded ones.
There are now one hundred
and fifty men employed on the
works, and the work is being
pushed rapidly, with view of
putting the plant in operation by
january |, 1900. The citizens of
Mount Union will imagine when
the smoke from the consumption
of 100 tons of coal per day as
cends from these seven or eight
huge smoke stacks that they are
living in the smoky city.

a hero. Tread OF his brave ac-
tion, and when, the troops came
thronging back to Washington |
made an unsuccessful effort to
find him, One day young Off
Ger came into my room without
tho formality of sending in his
card. He was out of breath, and
with some embarrassment intro
duced himself by saying; MIR.
Bingham, | see you do not know
me. | am the boy you appointed
to West Point. | have fought my
first battle and tried hard not TO
be a coward. Since twas through
you that | got the chance of be-
coming a soldier | think it is my
first duty to make my report to
you"
Glow proud | felt of my brave
boy, standing there in his blue
uniform, every inch a soldier.
My heart went out in love to him
then and there, and when he
wrung my hand at parting it
seemed as though one of my own
blood had taken his life in his
hand and gone out to do and dare,
perchance to die, for the home
and fireside of his country. From
that time | watched him go up
and up'to the rank of brigadier
general and then to become the
youngest major general in the
army.
'Never shall | forget the day
when he came to me in full uni
form, bringing his bride-as pure
and beautiful as he was brave and
handsome. AS | took the young
wife's hand in mine she looked
up into my face and in a low,
sweet voice said Il want to
thank you, Mr.. Bingham, for
transforming my husband from
a woodchopper into general Of
the United States Army.
"Some months after this intro
duction, during the battle of the
Wilderness, a report was circu-
lated that Custer had been killed.
Distressed beyond measure, |
rushed into Stanton's Office and
asked if the sad message was Of
fetal.
"No" Numbered the war sec
retary. No, thank God. it is on
ly part true. He was hemmed
in by the enemy on all sides, but
he cut his way out with his own
sword-covering himself with
glory
every much alive, indeed, he
was, as after heroic actions fully
proved. Up, up, he went-never
a cowardly action, never a mean
deed marring his war record; no
backward steps We're taken, no
uncertain paths were followed.
Courteous to his friends, mag
unanimous to his foes, just and
true and noble in every relation
of life, he was the most manly
man, the most soldierly soldier,
the most heroic hero | ever met.
Alas! my brave boy! TO think
that he came forth untouched
from so many hard-contested bat
ties to fall under the scalping
knives OF those miserable savageS
on the western frontier.
Though more than a score Of
years have passed since that no
BILE life went out by the hand of a
treacherous foe, | cannot calmly
recall the sickening details of that
unparalleled message, which sent
a thrill of horror all over the land
and brought undying grief to the
hearts of many families"
The old mans voice, eloquent
in praise of the triumphs of his
hero, quivered with suppressed
emotion as he ended the story of
the heroic Custer boy, cadet,
general, and at last struck down
by savages.

yelp1ng had ceased for a time and no one
on this thoroughfare was disturbed by
the animal until 1t reached Sixth street.
Here 1t began yelping again, and, running
on to the sidewalk, snapped viciously at
pedestrian. The man jumped aside with
a startled cry, and then people began
shouting mad dog In a moment the
walk was cleared, men, women and chill
dren scatteringdn all directions.
The dog continued down the street near
ly to Fifth street, when it wheeled about
and raced back again. From inside of
stores, where nearly every one on the
street had takenrefuge, the course Of the
dog was watched with more or less APP
prehension. When near the corner of
Sixth street theqdog suddenly lurched for
ward and lay stretched upon the walk.
By this time acpoliceman had been at
tracted to theBscene Cautiously ap-
preaching the still animate brute, the Off
Ger ended the CANNES life with a well di-
rected blow from his club. An eXamina-
ton showed that's the brute had been
frothing freely at the mouth and It's eyes
were badly blooGshot Only when assured
that the dog was dead beyond doubt
could some of the women. who had rush
ed into the stores be induced to come out
on the street.
1t is not known to whom the animal be-
'longed. The dog was, from appearance,
Of the shepherd breed, brown in color,
and about the size of large spaniel. 1t
had no collar or tag to indicate to whom
1t might belong. After the dog was killed
the body was turned over to Dr. Price
and an examination will made to de-
termine definitely whether Or not the
brute was afflicted with hydrephebia.
