community of by-gone age with its
colonial doorways of the Georgian pe-
riod. its Liverpool warehouses and
mansions set close to the pavement
are the records OF young Washington's
enlistment in the French and Indian
war and indeed there is the old house
in which Gen. Braddock held council
of war with five colonial governors. At
Alexandria, too, Washington voted for
the candidates for the house of bur-
gesses at time when the air was
filed with the first mutterings of the
impending storm of revolt.
Old Alexandria is rampant with fas
cinating traditions relative to the
greatest rebel of all times. 1t is re.
lated that when as boy he was study
; ing surveying and living at Mount Yer
non, then the residence of his brother,
he was wont torideinto Alexandria as
many as ten times week. each time
mounted upon different horse. any
one of which would have delighted the
heart of a cavalryman. The future
leader of the continental army took
great interest in training the Alexan-
dria militia and many OF its people
accompanied him on the campaign
which ended with Braddock's defeat.
After Washington married and In
herited Mount Vernon he greatly
shocked the aristocratic society OF Al
exandria by sending his market cart
to the city to dispose of the produce
Of his estate, but he endeared himself
to the humber portion of the COM
munity by his work in securing the
erection Of the first town pump. In
his younger days he had been an eD'
thusiastic member of the Alexandria

IN extinguishing many q blaze. In

The woodwork and walls are white,
which seems to add to the surround

are large panels containing the origi-
nal doctrines of the church printed
in bold, old-fashioned letters. Direct

worshiped. There among the trees it
stands, simple and unadorned in its
architecture. and, with its old red
brick walls and stately steeple, it
looms up as a monument to the past.
The north side of the building is al
most entirely covered with ivy. To
the left of the church stretches the
churchyard, with it's solemn tomb
stones, century old, standing like
sentinels guarding the last earthly
resting places of the dead forefathers.
That Washington was faithful in
his attendance at the meetings of his
church is conclusively shown by the
diary kept by himself, some of the ell
tries in which are as follows:
"176O, Feb. 9, Rev. c. Green dined at
Mount Vernon.
"176S, May 8, went to church from

Washington or St. Louis Existed.
An entertainment of much interest
from the standpoint of the antiquarian
was given recently at the Marquette
school in St Louis. under the direc-
tion of Miss Fanny NJ Bacon, the
principal, the main feature of which
was the exhibition of ten old maps of
portions of the American continent
They are the property of Mr.. Sidney
Clemenson of Boston, who secured
them while travelling in Australia from
a French counsel, and were loaned to
Miss Bacon.
Eight of them were made by Pow
nall, who came to America in 1853 as
royal governor to the colonies of Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey and South Car
DINA in succession. He returned to
England in 1861 and obtained seat
in Parliament. The last part of his
life was devoted to antiquarian stud
les. These maps were published in
London in 1894.
The other two maps were published
III Paris in 1906. One of the English
maps gives the thirteen original
states; one of the French maps shows
seventeen stars and seventeen states.
None of the English maps show Wash.
ington or st. Louis. The French map
does. There is no Chicago on either
of the maps. Cahokia and Kaskaskia
are on all of the maps. One of the old
maps gives the United States and
bordering Spanish possessions, gives
the four old paths across the country
upper" middle lower" and "old
trading path" One shows an old

endless mountains in Pennsylvania are
shown, and the mountains in the
southwestern part of the old United
States" in which there is gap for
horses" One map shows that Califor.
mia seemed to make old California an
island until finally travelling to the
head of the gulf it was discovered that
California could be reached by land"
New Albion is shown on one of these
maps, and Mexico stretches north
through the present United States
On another map is marked "The

Many other interesting relics were
added to the exhibition, one of them
being copy of the first charter of the
city of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, pub
lished at Kaskaskia, Illinois, in 1912.
1t belonged to the library of the late
General Rozier of that city. A pair
of slippers given by Pierre Laclede
to Miss Vale belongs to the same COL
lection. A poem on the capture OF

Capt. st. Gem of Ste. Genevieve, is

LANDMARKS OF ALEXANDRIA.
o" ~ san n.an Town Contains Many Menae1toes of h
Highest Historical Interest : -

OF all the interesting reminders of
George Washington PROBABLY the least
known and decidedly the least appre-
ciated are to be found in the quaint
Ii,tle town of Alexandria. nesting on
,he banks of the Potomac a few miles
below the national capital. In the
days when Mount Vernon was the
center OF American heart interest and
the site of the present city of Wash.
ington was but broad expanse of
green meadows Alexandria was a city
of consequence and the capital of a
social domain quite rs brilliant In its
way as that which now holds sway
at the American seat of government.
George Washington always took the
greatest interest in the welfare of the
little city. whittier he turned alike for
supplies for his plantation and for the
social diversions of which he was no.
torously fond. The great cobblestones
in Alexandria's streets were laid by
the Hessian prisoners under Washing
tons directions. Here the Masonic
lodge of which he was worshipful mas.
ter held its festivities here he came
to Sunday services in old Christ's
church. sitting with his family in the
old square pew which yet bears the
silver plate with the facsimile of his
autograph, and here, finally. he came
to indulge his proverbial fondness for
dancing at the celebrated birth night

nection with Alexandria dates back far

A NEW DEcALoeuE.
Ten New Commandments That Are
Plain ard Practical.

A new ten commandments, which
the people of Reggie in northern Italy
have lately adopted is of wide inter-
est. This new decalogue is not pri.
marily for grownups, but for the chill
dren of the town, and it is expected
that the little folks will, in their
schools, learn the ten rules by heart.
Love thy schoolmates, for they will
be thy co-workers for life.
Love knowledge, the bread of intel
lect. Cherish the same gratitude to-
ward thy teachers as toward thy faith
er and mother
Make every day thou livest the oc-
casion for some good and beneficial
deed; always sow the seeds of kind
ness.
Honor good men and true women,
esteem all men as equals, bend tiny
knee to no one.
Do not bear hatred to anybody;
don't insult people. The word revenge
shall not be in thy vocabulary, but
stand up for thy rights and resist op-
preston.
Don't be a coward; stand by the
weak and respect and love justice
Remember that all goods of this
world are the products of labor. Who
ever takes the good things of this
world without giving their equivalent
in labor robs the diligent of their just
dues.
Exercise thy mind; observe and
think and try to ascertain the truth
of all things. Believe in nothing mys-
terious, in nothing unreasonable; use
no deception either toward thyself or
others.
Do not assume that to be patriotic
one must hate other nations or glory
in war. War is a relic of barbarism.
Let it be thy purpose in life to
hasten the day when all men, as free
citizens of free state, shall live in
peace and happiness, in true brother
hood.

KILLED ELECTION
Fatal Political Quarrel
 in South Carolina.

Columbia, $. C., Jan. 20 Editor Con- zales, of the Daily State, who was shot on Thursday last by Lieut.. Governor Tillman, died today. Tillman received the information without any expression or without betokening any emotion. As editor of the State, Gonzales was a persistent opponent of the Tillman movement. Nothing diverted him from his aggressive course and the feud between the two men was recog- nized by the friends of b tn. When James H. Tillman announced himself as a candidate fer promotion to the governorship, Gonzales declared over his signature that he would oppose Tillman a. a duty he owed to the citi- zens Of South Carolina. He denounced Tillman as ''totally unfit for election" and as "drunkard," ''debauchee, !" and "proven liar." Gonzales persist ently referred to Tillman as "the crim- inal candidate. The primary election was held and TilIman was defeated in the race for nomination.

Two political meetings were holu recently. the first in the east end last Saturday night, the second on the sandapit on Monday evening. Both were largely attended and each was productive of oratorical fireworks.

 Chairman Goggin introduced !. l.. Pidgeon as the first speaker. AIr. Pid- geOn advocated the opening up Of the mouth of Snake river, and promised 10 do his best for the welfare of the city.
