Fight at a Fair.

Considerable excitement was caused
on King street, between Patrick and
Henry, between eleven and twelve
O'Clock Saturday night, by some trouble
between two young men which involved
several others before the police arrived
on the scene. A young man named
William Robinson, who had been drink
ing, was exhibiting card which made
it appear that the possessor was deaf
and dumb. He handed the card to a
young man named Harvey Robinson,
who became offended and the two left
the hall and became involved in
fight while on the steps,
during which, it is alleged, Harvey
Robinson kicked William Robinson in
the left eye. A large crowd gathered in
front of Schuler's Hall, where the fair
is in progress, and Officers Lyles, Nichol-
son and Garvey had some difficulty in
handling the assemblage Three young
men-Frank Chauncey, William Trigger
and Benjamin Waters, jr.-charged with
interfering with the officers, were placed
under arrest. In the meantime Harvey
Robinson made his escape. Waters and
Trigger were fined $40 each by the
mayor this morning and Chaurcey was
dismissed

Poor of the County.

In Richmond few days ago reports
were received by convention of various
charitable organizations from 81 coun-
ties concerning institutions maintained
for the benefit of the INDECENT The
following was received from Alexandria
county:
Alexandra county owns poorhouse
and farm, but finds it more economical
to pay for the care of its poor than to
maintain the poorhouse. If pauper is
merely infrm from age, we pay some
one in the county to take care of him,
but if the pauper is sick and requires
special care and medical attention, we
arrange with the Hospital of Alexandria
city to care for him for $l5 month.
1t is not known who furnished this
Conformation, but the officials at the
Alexandria Hospital say no arrangement
exists between the county authorities
and those of this institution for the care
of INDECENT sick. Rural communities
throughout the State enjoy the institu-
tons OF neighboring cities, and Alexan-
dria affords special facilities for such
living on the north, south and west.

Tracks on Aqueduct Bridge.

The Washington, Arlington and Falls
Church Railway Company on Saturday
filed with the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia copy of an agreement
entered into between that company and
the Great Falls and Old Dominion Rail-
TOAD Company with regard to the laying
of single track across Aqueduct Bridge
at Georgetown. The plans are to widen
the superstructure of the bridge by build
ing a lateral addition running the full
length. This work will probably be de-
layed. as pier No. must be reconstruct
ed by Col. Allen before the widening can
occur. or at least before cars can be used
on the structure. This may take many
months. The proposals for the work of
reconstructing the pier will be opened
March 80. This work will be done by
the United States government. The sur
wey for the extension of the Washing
xon. Alexandra and Falls Church Rail-
way from West End, Falls Church, to
Fairfax Court House has been made and
The right of way is now being secured.

A western editor pays this tribute to
a type which has not Its fair share Of
song and story: 1.-The bachelor repre-
sents the most congenial and big heart
ed type Of our commonwealth. His
name, while held In public derlslon by
q host Of people, will always remain
closely interviewer In the history OF
pioneer life. He 1t was who pushed
out into the wild and woolly west at a
time when the buffalo, Indians and
coyote were lords of the prairies and
by persistent efforts and under priva-
ton and want led heroic life BY
converting vast areas Of the barren
wilderness into fertile lands Of peace
and plenty. Then, without aid Of femi-
nine piety to keep vigil over his every
day acts, this sturdy empire builder
remained at his post, blazing out the
path of fame and introducing thrift
and civilization In his wake. Like the
cowboy he Is slowly passing into his
tory, but his fame is as farreaching as
civilization, his name indellbly stamped
on the pages OF history, while the hum

Persian Athletes.

Strong and skilled as western ath-
letes are, there are some respects In
which the athletes Of the east, and es-
pecially those of Persia, surpass them.
Their skill is due to the fact that
they do not rely on brute strength, but
on adroitness, which they have &C
quired after years Of strenuous train
ing. They know the function OF every
muscle in their bodies, and they are not
regarded as experts until they are so
we'll trained that they can perform
with ease any feat which depends for
success not only upon their strength,
but also upon the proper play of their
muscles.
They are not as bulky as some of the
we'll known athletes OF Europe and
America, but, on the other hand, their
bodies are wonderfully symmetrical,
and all their movements are most
graceful.
In wrestling and swinging clubs they
especially excel. and, no matter how
expert they may be. not a day passes
that they do not practice for several
hours.

have been computed by a celebrated
psychologist, and he has demonstrated
that 1t is equal TO the lifting Of 100
tons in twenty-four hours. Presuming
that the blood is thrown out OF the
heart at each pulsation in the proper
ton of sixty-nine strokes Of nine feet,
the mileage of the blood through the
body might be taken at POI yards per
minute, seven miles per hour, 16S miles

deep-seated on the lungs, causing pneumonia,
is that of Mrs. Gertrude T.. Fenner, Marion,
