A Relic of By-gone Days.

The old frame structure on the west
v;do of Columbus street, near Duke,
which for many years was used as the
voting place Of the Fourth ward as well
as for a wheelwright shop, is passing
AWAY piece By piece, and before next

ated NV some persons who will be COM

Last of the Mary Washington.

What remained of the old steamboat
Mary Washington, which has BEEN
living for several years in the cove
short distance north of Four-mile run,
on the Washington-Southern Railway,
was DESTROYED by fire early last night.
The boat had recently been used by
club of the county. 1t is believed that
the fire was of incendiary origin. The
Mary Washington was the conception
of a number of Fairfax farmers who IN
the wear 1874 determined TO construct
boat on the pattern of those running on
the Mississippi river, that is, OF light
draueht. in order to run her into the
shallow creeks of the Potomac between
this city and Occoquan. Col. Edward
Daniels, then living at Gunston, was
one of the leading spirits in the enter
prise. The hull of the steamer was
constructed on one of the creeks a short
distance below Alexandria and was
lowed here for the purpose OF receiving
her upper work and machinery. she
was docked at the foot of Duke street
where the upper decks, saloon and
other house work were put on. About
dark on July 4, 1874, thunder storm
passed over the city and the wind
lifted everything in the way of joiners'
work from the main deck and cast it on
the old Pioneer Mills wharf, making
kindling wood of the mass. The work
was subsequently, replaced and the
steamer finally put upon the river
route. She proved failure from the
first, being slow and not receiving the
patronage her originators had hoped
for. The steamer was subsequently
turned into an excursion boat, and for
some time made daily trips to Occoquan.
Other steamers, more modern ana
luxurious. later entered into competition
in the excursion business, and the Mary
Washington eventually became white
elephant. She passed from one owner
to another. occasionally being blown
about the river by high winds, until the
cyclone of 1896 damaged her irreparably
while she was lying at a Washington
wharf Later what was left of her was
taken to the cove near Four-mile run
where the steamer was used as a clut
house. The end came last night as
described above.

There are many things that determine
the advertising value of a newspaper
Quantity and quality in circulation are
especially desirable, so are the stability
and long standing, enabling paper to
take deep root in community and to
find influence in families as familiar
and trusted friend. A paper long estab-
lished and successful, going into the
homes of the observing and intelligent
of every class, is, if other things be equaa,
tbe hest advertising medium in the
world IT has worth, weight, extensive
circulation and the respect of the people.

Remark of n Smart WouId-Be Young.
Looking Lady That She
Regretted.

We have all met people whose pride
IN their own possessions is so great
that they can see no charms in those Of
others.
A young botanist was showing a
party of ladies and gentlemen through
a conservatory, and explaining to them
the properties of some of the choicest
plants.
Among the visitors, says the London
Tit-Bits, was a would-be-young look
ing, middle-aged lady who, at every de-
scription, volunteered the statement
that the plants and flowers she had at
home were quite equal to anything ex-
hibited here, or, indeed, anywhere.
just as they were passing a giant cac-
