EXCUR SIONS.

A stay at Fortress Monroe and Virginia
Beach is one of the regular outings that
many Washingtonians permit themselves
during the Lenten season. Those in this
city are very fortunate in having the ele-
CANT steamers of the Norfolk and Wash
ngton Steamboat Company to carry them
to their destinations The Newport News,
Norfolk and Washington are the largest,
service over this route. They are fitted
with all the modern conveniences, are heat
ed by steam, lighted by electricity and serve
excellent meals. One of these steamers
leaves 7th street wharf daily at 6:3O pm
Tourists and sightseers can make the trip
without a material change of plans as con-
and railroads for all points north, south and
west.
The Washington Alexandria and Mount
Vernon railway has been very generous in
the matter of reducing the rates to Aring-
ton on Sunday and in consequence Sunday
has come to be the most popular day of the
week to visit the national cemetery. Again
the coming Sunday the fare for the round
trip will be reduced, tickets being good on
all trains. The electric trains of this line
leave the station at 49, street and Penn
sylVania avenue every forty-five minutes
for Arlington on Sunday, making the run In
fifteen minutes. These electric trains are
also the favorite route to Mount Vernon
leaving every hour from 10 am to pm
Arlington, formerly owned by Parke
Custis and Cen r. Z. Lee, is now the beau
tiful national cemetery, where hundreds of
army and naval officers are buried. The
electric cars, which run from the Aqueduct
bridge, go direct to Arlington. They leave
the bridge about every half hour for Ar
lington and Fort Myer and hourly for Falls
Church, and intermediate points.

STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
i'ronze Figure to He Unveiled in
Paris in 1900,

1T is confidently expected that the bronze
equestrian statue of Washington will be
unveiled in Paris on the anniversary of
our national independence, July 4, 1899. The
Association of American Women for the
Presentation of a Statue of Washington to
france is about to make a final appeal for
funds to carry out this patriotic desire. The
officers of this association, all women of
national reputation, are: President, Mrs.
stephen j. Field; vice presidents, Mrs Car
ret A. Hobart Mrs. Phoebe Hearst and
Mrs. James Mcmillan.
After careful deliberation, the members
of the association have selected the emf
nent American sculptor, Mr. Daniel c.
French. to design and execute the work
The statue is to be an equestrian figure
of heroic size. The model is completed and
ready for casting and IS pronounced to be
in every way worthy of its object and the
place for which it is intended.
A large part of the needed amount has
already been collected, but S15,GG0 more are
needed. 1t is to arouse renewed interest in
the project that the officers of the assoc!a-
whom includes the names of women most
prominently identified with patriotic work
throughout the country, are now bending
their energies. They make the appeal for
funds at this time, so that there vii be no
delay in the completion of the work, nor
disappointment to the thousands of Amer
leans who have looked forward with pride
to the fact that a statue of Washington
should be an artistic reminder ~ the peo-
pies of the world gathered at the Paris ex-

Commonwealth's Attorney r. W. johnson
sprung a surprise in the circuit court for
Alexandria county today, when he called up
the old coupon cases" and asked ju,1g-
ment of the court against certain parties
to the controversy. These suits involve the
rights of state bondhoders to offer coupons
in payment of taxes. Judge Keith, for
merly of this circuit, refused to allow a
trial of the cases and while he was on
the bench invariably directed a continu-
ance. Repeated attempts have been made
at intervals to secure definite ruling upon
the points involved without success
After consideration today, however, Judge
Nichol granted the motion of the common
wealth. Where coupons were not produced
and cases not established in court, the com
monweahh secured judgment in each case.
Next Wednesday has been designated by
the court as the day for arguments to be
made in the case of Lee Gaskns colored,
charged with obstructing the track of the
Arlington and Falls Church Railway Com
pany The hearing, which will be at Ma
nassas. is on the writ of error and super
sedeas granted yesterday morning.
