A Storied Map.

Schoolboys may well envy President
Roosevelt map which makes the
study of geography a joy. Twenty
feet long and eight feet high, 1t covers
an entire wall In a White House office,
and represents the entire world. Diff
ferent colors show at a glance the
possessions of the twelve powers, with
the character of their principal cities.
Submarine cables. railroads, steam
shin lines. mail routes are all distinct
ly traceable.
The naval and military forces of all
nations are indicated by miniature
flags. Those representing the United
States bear the names of command
ers, and are readily shifted as the
forces move from place to place. The
cavalry, artillery and infantry are rep
resented by flags Of their respective
colors, yellow, red and white, giving
the number of the regiment and the
letter of the troop, battery or COM
pany. Even the smallest hospital
corps Is marked by tiny red cross.

The week after President Mckin-
leys death, clerk was explaining the
great map to President Roosevelt and
guest. The visitor suggested:
"Can you find the son of my old
cook? | know his name, because
cash the checks he sends his mother"
The President stepped forward.
Let ME find him." he said, and began
under the clerks guidance to consult
the records and examine the little
markers. There is his company he

Got a Stylish Hat Cbean.

A Philadelphia woman moving In
good society has been cured of a mania
for attending rummage sales. bur If
took Il heroic treatment to effect the
cure. The other day she went to sale
of the description named in aid of n
worthy charity in which she Is inter-
ested, and came away minus a S23 hat.
1t happened this way: A feature of
the sale was a counter filed with I'M
trimmed hats, advertised Your choice
for 30 cents" Now the North Thirty
third street woman didn't really want
an untrimmed hat at 80 cents, but there
was one that caught her fancy by rea-
son Of its odd shape, and she simply
couldn't resist the temptation TO try
it on. SO she took off the handsome hat
she was wearing, placed 1t on the coun-
ter and picked up the untrimmed one.
Then she looked around for n mirror.
There was only one and that was away
nj the other end of the long room. She
pushed her way through the crowd. and
in the meantime fat colored woman's
eyes were glued TO the hat she had left
behind, on the pile marked "Your
choice for 80 cents 1t was a golden
opportunity not to be missed. Counting
out 30 cents in dimes, nlckels nd pen-
mics, she showed them at the innocent
young attendant, and made good her
escape with the fashionable womon's
hat.

Mr.. CARL SCHURZ, in an interview
in New York, yesterday, took the same
ground as ex-President Cleveland, and
urged democrats to secure a majority III
the House of Representatives, which he
believes can be done. He gave many
logical reasons why the democrats should
nut forth their best efforts to elect ma
iority in the coming House of Repre-
sentatives and said protection has ma
tured crop ofsocial contrasts of corrup-
ton and political Generalization. In ref
erence to the opinion of Senator Morgan,
of Alabama, who believes it would be
better if the democrats did not control
the lower house of Congress, because I'M
der the present circumstances they could
only act the part of obstructionlsts, Mr..
S;hurz sensibly said
"This opinion seems to me ut
terly untenable. 1t is tantamount t.
saving that whenever one party controls
one branch of the legislature and the
executive power, the opposition is bound
to yield the rest, too, to the unlimited
control of the dominant party. This i;
simply nonsense. 1t should be the en-
deayor of every opposition to win what
ever strategic advantage it can. In
every constitutional government strong
opposition, able to command respect, Is
a need"

FARMERS CLUB NOTES.

The October meeting ofthe Woodlawn
Farmers Club was held at "Huntley,"
the residence of A. w. Harrison, and
was called to order by F. III. Wilkinson,
president.
The critical committee reported the
premises in good condition and crops
looking well; some fifty odd cows and
young stock we'll cared for with well-fll-
ed silo to feed from and recommended 9
little better protection for farm imple-
ments.
Mr.. Strickland opened an interesting
discussion about the Washington, Alex
andria and Mount Vernon Railway by
calling attention to the poor service
they render and the condition of the
road. 1t seems that the trains are
almost invariably behind their scheduled
time, and many complaints are made by
milk shippers about the loss of milk.
1t appeared that the authorities have
repeatedly had their attention called to
these things and have replied with
smiles only.
Several suggestions were made as to
means to better the service. Among
them were the formation of a railroad
association, appealing to the State and
Interstate Railroad commissions and
having the old bridges condemned, fol-
lowed by an injunction from the courts to
stop the company from using the bridges
which even to the inexperienced eye are
rotten and unsafe.
The president appointed the following
committees,
Critical committee-A. l.. Lukins and
A. III. Roberts.
Committee on subject for discussion,
f. f. Mason and j. n. Gibbs.
After some talk on the subject Of milk
production and feeds the club adjourned

Gov. Montague and Mr.. Eugene
Withers spoke at Danville last night to
large audience. Mr.. Withers intro
duced the Governor and the latter ac-
knowledged the courteous terms OF the
introduction, and stated at once that he
was there in the interest of Hon. Claude
A. Swanson as candidate for Congress.
The announcement was received with
hearty applause. He said he did not en-
terrain single doubt of Mr.. Swanson :
election, but that it was not well for the
democrats to be oyersanguine. There
was danger in overconfdence. The gov,
ernor then proceeded to discussion OF
the issues involved in the contest, and
assailed the trusts and the policy of the
republican party. When some one IN
the audience said: eve are all Swanson
men," the governor replied: 81 am
glad of it, and am here to try to in
crease the number of Swanson men at
the polls next Tuesday"

REPLY TO I. Y. r.

In the midst of improvements we are
in despair, for our visions of progress
siyeness have been rudely shattered by
the hoarse cav of the "hooter." The
conservatives" have risen in their
wrath, and their doughty champion has
again buckled on his armor, and with
lightning in his eye and Indignation
rioting in every lineament of his classic
countenance, has hurled literary thun-
derboIt at the Business Mems League for
their dastardly impudence in actually
encouraging the Octopus" to locate in
our midst. What matters it TO these
hoary patriarchs that the proposed ven
ture. If successful, will bring into our
midst two or three thousand people, and
must of necessity increase the trade OF
our local merchants? OF what Importance
is the fact that the Octopus must make
extensive improvements before 1t can
possibly begin the manufacture OF its
product, and that these Improvements
will furnish employment to our local
mechanics and laborers? All these
considerations sink into insigniti-
canoe when compared to the appalling
visitation which is about to come upon
us. Alexandria is no longer to be cele-
brated for its somnolence. The sacred
strongholds of stagnation and retrogres-
sion, ever stoutly defended and upheld
by the "fossils," are at last to be sacked
and RACED. When they make so bold as
to gaze into the future, the timid souls
of the conservatives" and their garru-
lous representative who rushes into print
upon the slightest provocation are filled
with alright. The sweet serenity OF
their existence is to be disturbed by the
busy hum of machinery, and the veneer
able cobwebs which have so long and so
lovingly nestled around Alexandria 5
relics of better and brighter day that is
past, are at last to be ANONYMOUSLY cast
aside, to make way for fresh paint and
modern improvements.
With delightful inconsistency the
"kickers" tell us in one breath that the
Octopus" will employ children, and in
the next they gravely inform us that the
result of these children's unskilled labor
will be the closing up of our To-
cal cigar manufactures. In the very
improbable event of the trust employing
mainly children, our local cigar makers
have nothing to fear; and even with the
most skillful cigar makers, the "Octo-
pus' will have to use its best efforts to
wean us from our plantations, Cap
tain Billys," "Queen of the Roses, and
"Orientals."
Let us have more of these amusing
literary outbreaks. They afford safe
means for the expenditure of surplus
energy, which the conservatives pos
sess but have never been known to use
in building up their business, or improv-
ing the condition of the city. Besides,
those of us who are blessed with sense
of humor, will always welcome such
ebullitions with unbrided delight

company takes back all its former en-
ployes. they will lay down their tools on
Tuesday. There are six thousand men
EMPLOYED in this valley and the military
authorities believe with that body oil
men on strike trouble would surely oc-
cur and for that reason, it would not
be prudent to relieve any more soldiers
in this section, at present. Orders were
issued yesterday, recalling the remain
der of the Sixth regiment, on duty here,
but they were rescended later because OF
the unsettled state of the valley. With

MR.. GORMAN.
Third floor-New Building.

In conversation with member Of
the Baltimore Suns staff at his Howard
county home yesterday Senator German
discussed the present political situation
at some length. ~ believe" he said,
'that the next House ofRepresentatives
will be democratic by from 90 to 80
majority. This is a somewhat of-hand
opinion, as have not made any examina-
ton into details. The trend of senti-
ment throughout the land is toward the
democratic party. Conservative men
are looking to the democrats to curb
the excuses of the party in power.
''Doyou think it would aid he DEM
Gratis in the presid, ntial cam al IN to q
defeated at this election?" NJ. Gormsn
was asked.
'"That proposition is too absurd to
admit of any discussion" he replied
"Mr. Cleveland has stated the case
accurately when he said that a political
contest must be continual and all along
the line. 1t does not benefit party 70
be beaten"
Concerning Maryland he said: 'The
democratic party in the STATED is in better
condition, more harm ous, more deter
mined than it has been for many years,
and think that the result of next Tues
days election will show it," Senator
German commented on the present at
titude of e6- President Cleveland, which,
he said, has given much satisfaction and
which will induce many thousands who
have been hostile to the ex-Presdent to
forget their hostility in welcoming his
support "The trusts and the tariff he
continued, twill be the issues in the
next presidential campaign They are
the living questions. The free silver
issue has been lost to sight Of course
there is noting in President Roosevelfs
trust remedy to have the constitution
amended. But law can be framed
which will accomplish the result desired
by the people," 1t looks now, he said,
as though Roosevelt will be the republican
nominee. To the mention of his own
name in connection with the democratic
nomination he said he had not given a
thought.
