o,;n aeptember 10. Three hundred sail

Wstermen and owners of oyster houses
are busily engaged in repairing ana
making preparations for the opening Oh
the season. 1t is feared there will be
scarcity of oysters from natural rocKs'
which are the principal source oil supply.
Those engaged in the oyster business
are unanimously of the opinion that un-
less immediate action is taken to pre-
serve natural rocks these will soon De
Jenleted. They say that tongers work
the rocks over their capacity, bat never
take the precaution to resuPply them
with shells. The rocks are kept con-
t;nnalIy disturbed, preventing a new
growth of oysters. The decrease IN an
1ual catches has been marked. Undel
tbc ruling of the General Assembly, the
onening of the oyster season this yeal
has been postponed from September

The Torrid Wave.

streets were filled.w with chairs and swell

failed to materialize. There was
considerable sheet lightning but no In
dications of rain, although storms, 1t
seems, ragged in several sections tar away
from this vicinity. Many persons were
10th to attempt to sleep under the de-
pressing conditions, and 1t was aiter
midnight before large percentage OF
tbe community retired. Little children,
as usual on hot nights, suffered greatly
and tossed and fretted in their dlscom-
fiture. while their elders swayed fans,
obtaining but little sleep until toward
Morning. The hot wave seems to nave
been general hereabout. The mercury

A Dangerous Custom.

T. V Noonan, in Washington has
called to the attention of the Commits
sioners in letter, the alleged danger IN
allowing little children to ride on the
front Of bicycles. The rider CONTENDS
that man mounted on bicycle, carry
ing a small child or an infant in front
Of him on the handle bars, is in danger
of a hard fall and probably serious con-
sequences to the child. The practice re- e.
ferred to above is becoming common IN
all cities, and innocent little children
are often seen on the handle-bars Of
wheels in Alexandria. That such acts
are temptation to providence must bt
apparent to all and the custom should o
be discontinued before serious cohse'
auences follow.
