"SITTING A WALTZ."-The young people
who indulge in the giddy mazes of the waltz
will hear with interest that the heads o.
Washington and New York society have de-
clared that Sitting" waltz will be more
fashionable from now on than dancing. The
sitting out" embodies the same position as
dancing, the only difference is that you sit
instead of dance. The mans right arm is
around the girls waist while his left hand is
placed upon his bosom, and all they have to
do is to sit and listen at the music. Now that
is something like it. We have always re-
garded 1t as quite a nuisance to have to gal
lop mile or two to get hug or two. A
room full of people sitting on sofas hugging
to music is more to our notion. This will
give the old rheumatic brethren another good
chance to waltz.-[Charlottesville Progress.

long letter to the civil service commission
asking fer permission to employ the services

THERE is said to be desire on the
part of many planters in Jamaica to
have the island annexed to the United
States. The dissatisfaction with Great
Britain is the result of that government
appropriating but $50, 200 for the relief
of the islanders who are engaged in the
sugar industry. The planters regard the
appropriation as an insult. These peo-
pie, it is evident, are not actuated by
patriotism or by love for any particular
country, but are after the loaves and
fishes every time. Should the island be-
come part of the West Indian posses
sions Of this country the requests and
demands of the residents might become
as those of the horseleeche's daughters
There is, however, but little likelihood
of England relinquishing sovereignty
over Jamaica, and so long as the island
is governed by that power this country
will not covet it.

A LAW and order league of Lincoln
Nebraska, brought on a riot at the base,
ball grounds of that place yesterday
afternoon by attempting to prevent a
game of ball. During the row a rock
thrown at a minister of the gospel struck
companion and knocked him down.
The preacher was chased to his home.
Yesterdays outbreak was the outcome OF
a long and bitter fight between the law
and order league and friends of Sunday
ball. The question was put to a vote of
citizens Saturday, and there was prac-
tically a unanimous vote for Sunday
ball. Members of the league, however,
refused to participate in the election,
and yesterday attempted to stop the
game. People will naturally ask,
Which is the greater evil-a game of

MONDAY EVENING. JULY 81, 1902

To-Day recalls TO mind to many now
living the famous battle of Bull Kun
which was fought short distance south
west of this city, the roar from which
was distinctly heard here. The scene
of carnage probably produced more
anxiety in Alexandria than that Of any
other conflict Of the four years civil
war. The members of the companies
which had left this city two months
before had received their baptism with
fire three DAYS earlier at Blackburn s
Ford, and it was known that they were
in the battle which took place on the
memorable Sunday Of July q, 1861.
1t was a clear and ideal summer day,
but throughout most of it the rumbliDg
of the guns sounded as the low thunder
which precedes the approach OF an
electrical storm. Ever and anon during
the afternoon the sounds seemed to
grow louder, and many supposed, or
more literally Hoped, that the Confed-
crates were pushing the federal army
in this direction. But there were many
anxious mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers in Alexandria at the time.
They had dear ones in the conflict for
whose safety prayers were being offered.
On the Monday following no one here
abouts could say which army had
triumphed in the battle Of the previous
day, and when some Baltimore papers
were circulated here containing flaring
headlines to the effect that the Con-
federates had been repulsed with heavy
losses, and that the exclamation, ''On
to Manassas % was the war cry of
the "boys in blue" there was much
depression. The day had not much
advanced, however, before the truth was
known. and the animation manifested
by Alexandrians was marked. In the
meantime the remnants of the federal
army which had stampeded in the
direction of Washington began to fill
our streets. A cold rain had in the
meantime set in and the soldiers, be-
draggled, hungry and Inundated, in
cited the sympathy of the people of this
CITY who were not slow in ministering to
iheir necessities and comforts. Forty
one years have elapsed since the above
described scenes. The great majority OF
the soldiers of both armies as well as
of the non-combattants then living are
not now on the stage Of life. Two
generations have appeared since the
colors of the Southern Confederacy oc-
cnnied one hillside and those of the
United States the other, and the war
be- cen the States has long since be-
com matter of history. Its memories,
how ever, are still cherished by those
who wore the blue and the gray, but as
time goes on, and as each is better UNI
dersiood, the rancor of two score years
ago becomes less in evidence, and the
relations of the twentieth century which
uecessarily bring the natives of both
sections into closer ties, is slowly but
surely producing its benefcent results.

How can drink that bitter cup
And say dear mother farewell

Thy warm heart is still,
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hand is clasped upon thy breast;

And in my aching heart know

OLD VIVA voCE did not show up well
in Petersburg at the recent election. 1t
is back number, too old for rebuilding
Richmond Leader.
If the viva yOce system OF yot-
ing was the cause of light poll
at the congressional primary held
recently in Petersburg, it speaks badly
for those who claim the privilege OF
voting as free-born American citizens.
That this system is back number
would be a sad reflection. A man,
with manhood enough to vote, should
not be afraid to express his views or to
name his choice of candidates, and a re-
turn to the old viva voce method is well
coined by all who strive to eliminate
fraud and dishonesty from elections. OF
course this will cut off the revenues of a
certain class of idiyiduals who regard
candidates for Office as their lawful prey,
and who by systematic touching try
to lay by enough on each election day to
last them until the next. The Leader
must have poor opinion of Virginia
morals when it says that the viva yoc1
method, standing as it does for truth,
honesty and independence, is a back
lumber, and too old for up-building.

Tue STORMS and floods which have
visited certain portions of the country
during the past few days, carrying death
and destruction in their wake, are natu-
rally causing much comment. The dam
age to property in Iowa, New York
State and other sections from cloudbursts
and foods run up into the millions,
while numbers of deaths have resulted
from the elements. These disturbances
are not confined to the United States, as
a cyclone swept over Kew, Russia, to-
day and killed twenty people. The
storm in Baltimore yesterday VIII
long be remembered by those who ex-
perienced it and especially by those upon
whose doors it has placed Grape. Eleven
persons lost their lives in one way or an
other during the prevalence of the tenn
pest. Clouds formed over Alexandra
yesterday evening and last night, but
the real force of the disturbance was not
intended for us. This city obtained the
refreshing winds and rains during the
afternoon and night The sweet sum-
mer time is anticipated by us all when
snow lies deep and the keen winds
whistle, but 'fhe arrow that flieth by
day and the destruction that wasteth at
MONDAY" natural Accomplishments OF
warm weather, cause many to stand IN
awe when the heavens "become as
black as sackcloth."
