ALEXANDRIA, Va, March II, 1903.
At the session Of the city council last
evening communication from Mayor Simp-
son was received, in which he explained his
reason for Withholding his signature from
the ordinance passed February ~ fixing
the hours for the closing of saloons in the
city from u o'clock Saturday night until 4
o'clock the following Monday morning.
Referring to the ordinance, which was en-
titled can act to amend and re-enact an act
approved May II. 1881, to prohibit the sale
Of intoxicating liquor from II o'clock Sat
urday night of each and every week until
O'Clock the succeeding Monday morning
the mayor said: 'ae
LAS there is no such ordinance among out
city laws to be amended or re-enacted, you
will perceive that a probable misinterpre-
tation Of the reading Of the new ordinance
the evening of February "a, 1908, has led
to an error which invalidates the Ordinance
now under discussion.
4side from this fact, the mayor proceeded
to say another reason which influenced his
action was the Introduction, by the city
council into the ordinance of time hostile
to that mentioned in the state statute. He
said that the substitution of the time. 4
o'clock Monday morning instead OF sunrise
would impose hardship upon those coming
under the city penalties.
This he explained by saying that after
an offender has been tried under the ordi-
nance and punished he can be indicted by
the grand jury and punished in the corpora
ton court for the same offense as the ordi-
nance does not impose the same conditions
as the state law"

Will Meet in September.

An adjournment for six months will be well received by the people of this state, because such an adjournment sets no precedent for the resumption of biennial sessions, when the consti- tuition calls for quadennial sessions. Any attempt at this time to evade the new constitution would be resented, and the Age-Herald is glad the legis- lature has decided to complete it's al- lotted days of sitting in the present year
 The members should come back ready to finish their labors in the six ty days named in the organic law. Governor Jell1s assuredly will not con vene them in special session, and if he did they could act on bills named by him only There will be but about twenty days left of the entire term, and prompt action will be needed in SepIemDer.
 It is to be hoped the members will consult during the recess their con stituents freely. They have left much undone that should have been done, and they have done some things that should not have been done. They have not met altogether the expectations of constituents. They have listened to the third house, which has been in continuous session. But all in all they have done reasonably well, and if their work in September is creditahle the verdict of the people will accord them the rewards of good and faithful servants.

BIrminaham and the Southern.

The Southern, 1t seems, has secured control of the New Orleans and Northeastern and also of the line to Vicksburg and Shreveport This movement is important to Bir. mingham, because it renders 1t the central point of the great system in the south. Heretofore the system has been confined to great extent to the southwest, but it has now entered the Mississippi valley, and is even reach ing Texaswards from Shreveport. It will soon cover territory from Texas to Virginia inclusive, and this district will be, not only it's chief feeder, but it's central point.
 This purchase makes significant the requirement of terminal and shop room in North Birmingham. Over one hundred acres have been purchased there, and no doubt the great shops of the system will be located some day on that land
 The purchase looks to the future, but the system is gathering strength and mileage so rapidly that it's future will soon be discounted
 At any rate Birmingham has be- come to the Southern central city, and as the heaviest tonnage arises here, no doubt here the largest shops and terminals will be placed. The investment in North Birmingham shows which way the railroad wind Is blowing.

Great Theatre Town.

For a long time I have studied theatre towns' said a New Yorker last night but never have I seen city the size Of Birmingham which was capable of sup porting two theatres as the two here have been supported this week.
 'The Jefferson has been packed at every performance. and that means about 17O0 people each time. and the Bijou has played to very large houses, ranging from 1000 to 1900 people at each perform ance. This is, indeed, wonderful
 At the matinee today there were more people in the Bijou than ever before at a matinee in the history of the house, l am told, and it was certainly very appreeiative To think that city the size of Birming- ham should become a theatrical center, with over 4000 people going to the theatres daily, is unprecedented. It means much for the city and will encourage managers to make this two or three-night stand and to bring larger productions here"

American Archaeology.

"The establishment of a chair of Ameri- can archae eology al Columbia University through the munifcence of the Due de Loubat gives pI omise that q very fascl- rating field of research Is before long to have its proper place in our institutions of higher learning" said a student.
 Hitherto the Uni, ersity of Pennsyl- vania has been honorably distinguished by the encouragement which It has given to investigation relating to the antiquities of our continent. The late Dr. Brinton did much in his own field which was principally linguistic, but our universities in general have not endowed research in Americana to any great extent Most of what has been accomplished has been due to the efforts of independent scholars and to the work of the government depart ments in Washington.
 "The best collection of material now available for study is to be found in the reports of the National museum and the Smithsonian institution. The liberality of MT Jessup. aided by the enlightened counsel of Professor Putnam, is also bearing fruit in the various expeditions which have been organized and conducted by Dr. Franz Boaz and other experts. The field is very large one, and too much cannot be done to develop it in a scientific way

SCIENTIST TELLS HOW
 TO PREVENT WRINKLES

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Ladies who decline to grow old, even gracefully, no doubt will be intensely in- terested in an article by pr. Felix Reg nault in a recent issue of La Nature on the subject of wrinkles.
 Wrinkles are formed by the contraction of the facial muscles. In youth, while the skin is elastic the seams caused by these contractions disappear as soon as the muscles are permitted to return to their normal position. But habitual con- fractions may become permanent. Thus seamen and others exposed to the weather so habitually contract the muscles about the eye, in order to protect it, that they early form wrinkles there.
 Furthermore. as years increase the skin loses it's elasticity. Instead of recoiling to place like a rubber tissue when muscular contraction ceases, 1t remains permanent ly drawn into certain forms, like a gio- lently stretched piece of leather. Thus it appears that contractions of the muscles produce wrinkles To avoid wrinkles therefore. such muscular contractions must be avoided or reduced to the 1ini- mum.
 Such contractions are often produced by external causes, such as exposure to wind or an unusual amount of light. Thus

SOME HUDDHlsTic LAWS.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Prof. Maxwell Sommerville was discuss ing the other day the Buddhist faith, for which he has a profound respect. Some of the striking tenets of Buddhism that he quoted were
 Use not perfume about thy person. To cough or sneeze in order to win the notice of group of girls is a sin. Destroy. no tree.
 Kill no animal.
 Drink no intoxicating beverage. Care for the aged and infrm.
 It Is sinful to think one way and to speak another.
 It is sin to pass judgment on the acts of other men.
 Give no flowers to women. and sing no gay songs.
 Keep neither silver nor gold.
 When you eat make not a noise like a dog.
 It Is sin to eat of the flesh of man, elephant. horse, crocodile, dog, cat, tiger or serpent. A A priest may not wash himself in the twilight or dark, lest he should unknow- ingly kill some insect or other living thing.
 Lend nothing on interest.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-02-13

English women, unless having unusually strong eyes, become wrinkled rapidly in America because the light of this climate is. on the average. much more brilliant than that of Great Britain. On the other hand, Hindoo or a desert Arab, If not too old, tends to lose his wrinkles in Eng land.
 But mental emotions are the great cause of those muscular contractions which in turn cause wrinkles. Those who habit uaiy %ield to strong passions of any kind inevitably place upon their faces the in- dexes of their minds. The jolly, the wrathful, the envious, those who become intensely preoccupied with business or other cares register their dominant emo- tions for all the world to see.
 It follows. therefore, that if my lady would avoid wrinkles she must first en- deavor to prevent her skin from losing its elasticity. The best of all ways to cc this is to cause herself to perspire abundantly by suitable exercise. But she must above all things restrain her emotions and cuI- tivate an equable temper, thus avoiding those muscular contractions that -ausc wrinkles.
 pr. Regnault's advice to those who ob- ject to wrinkles Is, in brief: "Do net make them.''
