ARREST OF MISS LEE.

That the arrest of Miss Mary Curtis
Lee, daughter of Gen, Robert K. Lee,
by the authorities OF Alexandria was a
source OF poignant regret to them no
body doubts. Miss Lee. though I'M
Willingly, plainly violated the law
providing for separate cars for the two
races when she would not, after infor-
nation, move into the car reserved for
white people from that in which she
took seat which was set apart
for colored passengers No excep-
ton could be made in her case
without violating the law, and had the
conductor who caused her arrest failed
to do what he did, he would have
helped TO yitiate a regulation intended
for a proper separation of the white and
colored travellers on Virginia railroads
Miss Lee herself recognized this and
very deeply regrets the occurrence. She
made no excuse except ignorance OF
the las which went into effect only
about ten days previously wonder
full exhibition of the devotion of Vir
ginlans to the memory of her illustrious
father was result of the embarrassing
incident. The whole population OF
Alexandria would have spent their last
cent to pay her fine. Miss Lee has
gone to Ravensworth, Fairfax county,
where she is the guest of the widow OF
Gen. William H. +. Lee.

FOOD IN SLOT MACHINES.

Philadelphia automatic lunch
coulter is doing thriving business. II
was opened on Chestnut street a. few
days ago, and since then crowds have
fiocked to it daily.
Around the four sides of a large.
square room. opening from a rotunda
fronting on Chestnut street, are various
slot machines. the entire contents OF
which are inclosed in glass. Before
you drop youI coin in the slot you see
what you are going to get with the
exception of the liquids. Should You
want cup of coffee, cocoa or tea, you
drop in your nickel. place your cup
beneath the spigot and out it comes.
On shelf close by are cream jugs and
sugar bowls. The beverages, a glance
behind the scenes discloses, are Kept
warm by the aid of steam pipes.
The cold food. such as sandwiches,
pie cakes and buns, are lowered on an
automatic elevator. Each coin dropped
IN the slot brings the receptacle down
with the desired tid-bit. All the
hungry purchaser has to do is to lift il
off, and the rest is easy. The only
difficulty seems to be TO keep a table,
for while the customer is off dropping
his coin into the slot some equally
hungry fellow comes along aid usurps
his place. 'sThis will be adjusted
when the novelty wears off and we are
in good running order" SAID the
manager,

reports an unusal encounter
he had with a chicken snake
Saturday.
He was on his way to the
barn when he felt something

ing it was a halter he carried,
he paid no attention to it at
first, but finally looking
down he discovered that it
was not the halter, but n

stunts or unusual merit be-
fore the reptile was dislodg-
ed. He soon dispatched the
snake with plank. when
the mate appeared on the
scene OF action.
Another battle ensued
whereupon Mrs. Leech came
to tile rescue and fired six
shots into the snakes body.
This was not enough, but a
load Of shot finished the rep
tile. The snakes were un-
usally large specimens of
this harmless variety. meas

HIS TEAM ROBBED.
Sanitary Inspector Moses Looking For

Sanitary Inspector Moses Looking For
 Sundry Articles.
 Sanitary Inspector Moses is looking for some of his property which was stolen from his carriage on Sylvan avenue while he was talking with woman preparatory to fumigating the house. He hitched his horse and went in to talk with the family and al though was away but a short time. when he returned he noticed his horse blanket on the street a few feet away from the team and his rubber coat. three account books and a bottle of catsup were no where in sight The books contained valuable lot of in- formation regarding the recent small pox epidemic and are of no value to anybody except the owners. The rubber coat was used by Mr Moses when fumigating places where diph- theria and smallpox had existed and the parties who took it have some thing in their possession that few would care to handle. The theft has been reported to the police, but it is doubtful if they will succeed in locat- ing the jokers who made away with them. The inspector is os the opinion that crowd of berry pickers who passed the place while he was in the house knows something about the theft. In their haste to get away with the booty, he thinks they dropped the blanket and didn't take time to pick it up.

TRAIN HELD UP

Spokane, Wash, Aug 26.-A vest bound Northern Pacific passenger train was held up at Sand Point, Idaho, six ty-five miles east of here, last night The robbers, of whom there were seven, forced the engineer to stop the train, after which they uncoupled the baggage car. Then they compelled the engineer at the point of revolver to pull up the track about three miles fur ther, where they tried to wreck the baggage car with dynamite. The ex- plosives failed to work and after spend ing fifteen minutes with the car the robbers decamped, allowing the en- gineer to go back to the train with his engine. Two other bandits had guard ed the train, keeping the passengers inside by firing revolvers along the sides. No attempt was made to molest the passengers, and after the engine came back the other robbers left and the train came on to Spokane.
