One OF the chief beauties Of French
cities and towns and second only to
their ediaces and monuments are the
trees. The almost interminable vistas
OF chestnuts and aeaclas stretching
along the broad and well paved ave-
nues as far as the eye can reach, their
bending branches almost touching one
another in an endless arch OF verdure,
form not only delightful perspective
for the eye, but serve 20 add beauty TO
cities already beautiful and grace and
symmetry TO whatever might be harsh
and forbidding. This, however, is not
the result of natures handiwork alone.
for science and art have lent their aid.
The planting as well as the mainte-
nance OF the trees In French towns is an
item OF no little Importance In the an
nual budget prepared by the municipal
council, which does not look upon their
preservation as OF less consequence
than the repairing OF the roadways or
the lighting OF the streets.

died In the penitentiary, where he was serv-
ing a sentence for murder committed in
Georgetown only few years ago.
Connell served ten years in the peniten-
tiary at Baltimore for the part he took in
the daring attempt to get the money be-
longing to the canal company. After serv-
ing that sentence he returned to this city
and kept the detectives busy watching
him. Many crimes were attributed to him,
and he was finally arrested as second
story worker. The detectives succeeded in
convcting him of a charge of burglary. and
he was sent away for four years. Since his
return home from serving this sentence he
has been under the eyes Of the police. His
health failed him and he brooded over his
checkered life. Finally his mind showed
signs of weakening, and he is now mental
wreck.

to the memory of Washington. The citi-
zens gathered in holiday apparel, visitors
thronged the city from the early morning
and the buildings on the principal thor
oughfares were adorned in patriotic colors.
There was no business in Alexandria ex-
cept the enterprise of a mighty demon
stration. With one accord the people of
the city decided that it should be dedi-
Gated to a sacred memory. To effect this
thoroughly all the energies of committee
chairmen and members were directed, and
the brilliant success was made possible by
the patriotic enthusiasm Of the people.
Bright, Sunny Day.
When a bright morning dawned upon
Alexandria today the hopes Of the citi-
zens were realized. In the celebration the
city revives a time-honored custom. For
many years after the remains Of Wash
ington had been laid to rest at Mount
Vernon the people of Alexandria COM
memorated the anniversary of his birth by
a great parade every returning 22d of Feb
ruary. Although much patriotic fervor was
displayed on these occasions in former
years, in extent and brilliancy they are all
surpassed by the demonstration today. A
great army Of uniformed men, military and
civilians, traversed the principal streets
Of the city this afternoon to the music of
patriotic airs from multiple bands. The
presence of United States troops lent a ma
tional interest in the occasion, while the
appearance of the chief executive of the
commonwealth, Governor Andrew Jackson
