Dispensing Charity.

An ordinance was introduced in the
CITY Council last night looking to the
abolition of the Office of OTerseer OF Out
door Poor, also q resolution approprlat-
iny 81 900 to be disbursed by the Co
lucrative Charities Association to the
deserving poor of the city. The ordl
nances were referred to committees. The
object of the movement is to distribute
provisions and fuel to worthy people
only. and il is thought by many that
the members of the association, who
have the time to devote to the matter,
are ably qualified to dispense the city's
charity and that they will see that the
moor fund is expended where most
needed. The distribution of provisions
and fuel by the city has always been at
tended more or less by dissatisfaction, II
being believed that many persons be-
come benefciaries who could provide for
themselves with but little exertion. AT
the present time most any able bodied per-
sons. white or colored men or women, can
procure employment, and the associa'
zion. should this work be entrusted tC
them. will keep strict espionage OF
all unworthy people and prevent then
from receiving anything from the city
OF course, all worthy people, for whos'
benefit appropriations are made, will b.
proyided for as usual.

A child of Mrs. Geo. I. Benson, when
getting his usual Saturday night bath,
stepped back against hot stove which
burned him severely. The child was in
great agony and his mother could do
nothing to pacify him. Remembering
that she had a bottle Of Chamberlain rs

would try IT, In less than half an hour
after applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks was
well. Mrs. Benson is well knwn resi-

Alexandria, Va, Oct. l, 1903.
To the Board of Managers of the Alex
andria Hospital:
/ respectfully submit my report for
nv term of service beginning July l.,
1903. and ending September 80, 1903.
During the above time there was rs
admissions, of which, Al were discharged
cured, 7 improved, 4 semitic other hospl-
tails. and deaths. OF the e deaths,
4 were chronic cases, all due to paralysis,
and two we're acute diseases. Two OF
the deaths we're cases of other physicians,
leaving deaths occurring during
NV service. Three chronic and l
acute case. There were Is patients UNI
der treatment at the close of my term.
The improvements which the matron
contemplates should meet with your
entire approval and she should receive
your hearty cooperation. A new
sterilizing outfit and emergency room
are absolutely essential to modern hospi-
tails and modern surgery. The placing
of an elevator in the hospital would add
greatly to its conveniences and to the
welfare of its patients after an operation.
During my term OF service my re-
1ations with the matron and Others con-
nected with the hospital have been
most cordial Respectfully submitted,

Expansion of River Trade.

As has heretofore been stated in the
Gazette. President Woodberry, First Vice
President Norman and Second Vice Presi-
dent and manager Callahan, of the Nor
folk and Washington line ofsteamers, have
been prospecting at King Capsico, on the
Potomac river, in Westmoreland county,
looking into the advisability OF building
a wharf there where steamers will stop
on their way from this city and return.
Capsico is about five hours run from
Alexandria. Propositions lookingto the
building of hotel at that point and the
construction of an electric railway to
Warsaw are being favorably considered,
and the people of Westmoreland county
are somewhat enthused over the outlook.
There is much to be gained by such a
procedure, as points in the northern neck
would be brought into daily touch with
Alexandria and Washington and much
time would be saved in communication
with these cities. The Norfolk steamers
would virtually lose no time in making
the landing on their way to and coming
from Norfolk, as The boats are fast, and
residents of Westlnoreland could spend
the entire day in Alexandria or Wash
ington and return 10 their homes during
the night. Capitalists are seriously con-
sidering the scheme, and there is much
10 strengthen the belief that it will crys-
taIize into purpose Should the wharf
be built much Of the produce now ship
ped from wharyes in Nomini would be
concentrated at King Capsico, while pas,
sengers would enjoy more direct and
speedy passage to Alexandria and Wash

/. THE PLOT .THfCKENS.

Rising Sun, Ind, Dec. I2.--Myro11
Barbour, a banker, and a relative BY
marriage OF a brother of Miss Eliza
beth Gillespie, who was assassinated
recently in her home, refused to am
swer questions before grand jury that
is investigating the assassination, and
Barbour was called before Judge Dow
ney. The judge told Barbour that he
must answer questions or go to jail.
Barbour returned to the grand jury
room and was not sent to jail.
Barbour lives across the street from
the house in which the girl was assass-
mated. He lives in the house with Miss
sGillespie's twin brother, James Giles
pie, and with Mrs. Seward, sister Of
Miss .Gillispie. The houses have bs31
at swords points over the estate Of
Miss Gillispie's father Barbour's wife
is a sister of DR.. William Gillespie's
wife. Barbour was the first person to
reach the side of the assassinated wo-
man, who lived with her aged mother.
Yesterday James Gillespie was taken
before Judge Dewney for refusing to
answer questions before the grand
jury, but Gillespie was not forced to
answer, probably because of some le-
gal right, which excused him from
giving evidence.
