called the Old Castle, at the corner of
Queen and Henry Streets This hotel
bore a sign OF President Madison and

The principal hotel of Alexandria, in
the days just preceding the war for the
Union, was the Mansion House, after
ward called the Braddock House at tho
corner of Fairfax and Cameron Streets.
This hotel was built by James Greene,
who bought the old Bank of Alexandria
made some additions. furnished the es-
tablishment, and then rented it to AL
bert B. Newton, by whom it was opened
on February 16, 1919
Used as Hospital.
/ The building was afterward extended
| so as to include the Carlyle House, in
front OF which the south wing of the
hotel was built, as it still stands. At
ter Mr.. Newton left the hotel il was
conducted by the owner, James Greene,
and his son, Major John w Greene. The
hotel was seized by the United States
during the civil war and used as a hos
pital.
Afterward it's name was changed to
the Braddock House. and Robert Falls
placed in charge. Peter Elliott kept the
| hotel for some time, as did G. w Brown
| by whose assignee it was sold in 1854
| In 1885 it was opened by M w. Lambert
& Co. OF late years it has been used
| only as a lodging house, and is now
known to the public chiefly in connec-
| ton with the Carlyle House. which has
been leased to the Society for the Re
storation of Historic Alexandria, and is
now much frequented by tourists.
Alexandria has now no largt hotel, but
a number of very superior, welI-kept
moderate sized establishments serve the
public, and one can take it easy at his
inn in Alexandria as well as anywhere
else in the Union.

Prince Gortchakof, in 1871. as soon as
ever the defeat of France by Germahy
had deprived the former power of the
possibility of resenting the breaking of
the agreement. Scarcely one OF the
stipulation of the international treaty
which called into existence the Con-
go Free State has been observed,
either by its sovereign. King Leopold of
the Belgiums. or by the other signatory
powers, while the celebrated treaty OF
erlin OF 1878 is in every sense of the
word a dead letter, since hardly one OF
the governments thai took part therein
has adhered to the solemn promises and
undertakings to which they subscribed.

HOTELS OF ALEXANDRIA
IN ANTE-BELLUM DAYS
The City Hotel Supposed to Be the Oldest, Has
Many Predecessors.

Although the City Hotel at Alexandria
is considered an ancient hosiery yet
there were hotels in Alexandria over
forty years before the City Hotel was
built. The first tavern there was erect
ed on Princess Street between Fairfax
and Water now Lee Streets, in 1853
when the level OF the ground there was
about fifteen feet higher than now This
hotel which was known as the Lomax
Tavern had been erected in the neigh
borhood of the old tobacco warehouse
of colonial days. Alexandria Washing
ton Lodge of Masons met there for sew
eral years. The lodge itself was insti-
tuted at the old Lamb Tavern on Union
Street between Prince and Duke Streets.
In its later days the Lamb Hotel was
kept by Samuel Hilton, a Revolutionary
soldier
A Street of Hotels.
Union Street in Alexandria was for
many years a place of hotels, because
passengers coming from the upper coun-
Try 10 lEdNSl SOuli ny Ii4C SdIi StSdLDSiS
on the Potomac lodged close to the
river to be ready to embark. Along this
street there were Posey's, on the lower
end OF Wolfe Street; Browns Tavern,
and the Washington Tavern, and of An
thony Rhodes, on Union Street, between
King and Prince. Farther north, the
ola Bull displayed its sign and the Stew
art Hotel was kept at the corner of Fay
cite Alley and Union Street. Milburn' S
Tavern, kept in 1898 by Charles King
was also on Union Street as was Dixon s
Tavern, near the fish wharf.
The oldest of the up street hotels was
the Royal George, on Cameron and Royal
Streets, opposite the City Hotel on he
north. The City Hotel came in the 90a
and was the progenitor of several of the
Washington hotels, Gadsby & Brown
having kept the City Hotel before re-
moving TO the Federal City. Whcn
George Washington came 10 Alexandra
he put up sometimes at Leigh's and
some times at Arrells, but the last tWC
years of his life he always stopped al
the City Hotel.

there is as much and possibly more
difference in the style and quality of
Furniture than in any other one
thing you have to buy? Again, did

1t may be compared to a most won

ment, with food and drink, with rest
and sleep, and it goes on performing
| every function perfcctly-that is SO
long as the body is in perfect health.
But you know that a clock runs down.
and stops. So does the human machin-
cry. How peculiarly applicable is the
common expression used by women il
