Dug Grave to Bury Wife.

kins, resident of this city, has conceiv-
ed new cure for intemperance. At an
early hour yesterday morning Mrs.
Hopkins rushed out of her front door
and, throwing her arms around DO
liceman, asked him to come in and pro-
tect her from her husband The wo
man was under high nervous tension
and the policeman went into the house
with her, but she did not stop at the
house; she took the officer into the back
yard and showed him newly-made
grave, a crudely-hewn headstone and a
piece of Brussels carpet. This she
'old the policeman were the prepara
tons that her husband had made for
her burial, and she objected TO playing
the star role at the funeral. Hopkins
was called into the yard and confessed
that he had decided to put his wife IN
der ground, and had dug her as com
Portable grave as he was capable OF
digging, besides supplying fairly good
tom bstone. The carpet, he thought,
would serve as well as coffin. He
claimed that his wife had annoyed him
good deal by drinking and, having
failed to reform her with good advice,
ne had concluded to put her under the
ground, where she would give nobody
trouble. The officer ordered Hopkins
to fill up the grave, aud ugsested that
if he wanted to cure his wife of the
drinking habit there was way of do
ing it that would not necessitate putting
her under ground.

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY %, 1899

ALEXANDRIA is a democratic city,
and is so by reason of the fact that its
democratic"voters abide by the decision
of the majority of their party, as ex-
pressed by the pa:ty's conventions and
primaries. By the latter mode they
have nominated their municipal ticket,
and should make it their business to
see that boilers, active or passive,
with such republican aid as they may
be able to get, shall not prevail against
them. A break now would establish
g bad precedent. If the regular ticket
prove to be not as perfect as it could
have been, the democrats will be
taught to be more careful in nomi-
mating the next one; but to stand by
the party is always wise policy accord
ing to Mr.. Cleveland's precept, if not
his example.

STRANGE AS it may appear, there are
some Southern people who say they
can't bear to think OF the suffering :he
American prisoners in the hands of the
Philippine Republic must endure; and
yet reliable intelligence from them, and

hands, is to the effect that they are
treated infinitely better than Confed
crate prisoners were at Point Lookout
and Johnson's Island during the war be-

From Havana.

Havana, May 23.-Reports from
United States headquarters say that the
distribution of the 100000 to pay
the Cuban troops will begin on Thurs
day, the 18th, and the Cubsns will de-
post their arms with the mayors of the
the municipalities. The final adoption
of this arrangement has averted the
threatened crisis. Many of the Cuban
soldiers will refuse their pro rate share
of pay and retain their arms. Others
will retain their rifles by trick, buying
cheap guns which they will surrender
as their regular arms. The American
authorities have discovered wholesale
stealing OF government lumber.

CONGRESSMAN JONES, the head Of
the anti Martin conference, says some
body will be nominated by those who
favored that conference to run against
Senator Martin. Why, certainly; and
why that intention, which was plain to
everybody, was ever denied by those
who took part in that conference has
never been satisfactorily explained, and
reflects little credit upon those who
took prominent parts in it. But
as seifshness of some sort or 9TH
er is the actuating motive of all 9th
er human actions. that it should have
been that of the conference referred TO,
does not overcome III like a summer

GIRL BEAT SHELL GAME MEN.-A
pair of sleek confidence men who have
been operating among the farmers and
oil.land owners of Calhoun and adjoin.
ing counties in West Virginia for sew
eral weeks we're very neatly taken in
yesterday. They appeared at the
house of Isaiah Stud, wealthy farmer,
and, after closing bogus deal for
leasing his land for oil purposes, pro-
duced a set of walnut shells and balls.
Stud guessed the location of the balls
several times; then was allowed to win
a couple of five dollar bets. Bigger
stakes we're proposed, and Stud went
into the house and brought out $500,
telling his 16.year-old daughter Nellie,
who is just home from the Huntington
Seminary for vacation. Nellie was
suspicious. and, securing a pistol, fol-
lowed to the barn. She was just in
time to see the old man lose his pile,
which, with $500 Of the sharpers'
money, was spread out on the table.
Nellie didn't wait for explanations, but
began shooting, and didn't stop till
both the strangers had gotten off the
farm. She then gathered M the $1,000
and yesterday afternoon took the
money to Glenville and banked it, de-
claring her father was not capable of
taking care of his wealth. She says
the $500 she won will finish her educa-
ton.
