OFFICE
Is Opened BY the Mckinley Min
ing and Smelling Company.

From the Lexington Ky.) Herald of
February 81, 1903
Mr.. VIM. T. Harrison, formerly bust
ness manager of The Lexington Leader,
has been appointed special representa-
tive for Central Kentucky of the Nc
Kinley Mining and Smelling Company,
and on yesterday opened an Office at
No 90 East Short street.
This company has an especially in
teresting history, as the late President
Mckinley was once its Secretary
Fifty thousand shares of the stock of
the company as reorganized is now
owned by Mrs Mckinley and her sis
ter, Mrs. NJ. G. Barber, OF Canton,
Ohio.
When the Canton Mining Company
was formed, James A Saxton was
chosen President, and William Nc
Kinley, Secretary.
1t is claimed for Nevada, where these
mines are located, that as a mining
State it is more easy to of access, has a
b stter climate, and is freer from hard
ship and danger than any other mining
zone in the world 1t is claimed, also,
that there is more unprospected terri
tory and are more undeveloped mines in
that State than any other equal area
anywhere. At present it costs but So
per ton to mine gold and 81 per ton to
mine copper Ins the year 1900 and
during the past year, the mines in
Nevada are said to have produced over
a thousand million dollars. In 1898 the
estimate of value was $697. $40. 72O. 1t
has doubled since 1887 and almost
trebled since 1880.
In one week the assay values of the
gold ores are said to have increased 81
per ton, making an average of $29 per
ton.
The company has decided to offer
limited amount Of stock for sale in each
State AS stated above, Mr.. W. T.
Harrison has been appointed special
representative for Central Kentucky.
No more active or energetic agent
could have been chosen. Mr.. Harri-
sons long newspaper connection has
given him close and valuable acquain-
lance with the business mon of Lex
ington. and in his new capacity he will
undoubtedly prove of large value to his
employers.

here as the nations hero. In this
community of a by-gone age with its
colonial doorways of the Georgian pc
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
slled with the first mutterings Of the
impending storm of revolt.

cinating traditions relative to the
greatest rebel of all times. 1t is re-

he was wont toride into Alexandria as
many as ten times a week, each time
mounted upon a different horse, any
one of which would have delighted the
heart OF a cavalryman. The future
leader OF the continental army took

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
volunteer fire company and assisted
in extinguishing many a blaze. In
1775 he purchased. at cost of $500.
a small fire engine. and sent 1t to his
fellow firenen In the little city on the
Potomac.

LANDMARKS OF ALEXANDRIA
Mcnetoes of the
Historical Interest.

OF all the interesting reminders OF
George Washington PROBABLY the least
known and decidedly the least appre-
Glazed are to be found in the quaint
little town Of Alexandria. nesting on
the banks Of the Potomac 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
social domain quite as brilliant In its
way as that which now holds sway
at the American seat of government.
Georee 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.
torioualy fond. The great cobblestones
in Alexandrla's streets were laid by
the Hessian prisoners under Washing
toms directions. Here the Masonic
lodge Of which he was worshlpful mas
ter held its festivities, here he came
to Sunday services in old Chrlsts
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
balls Instituted in his honor.
However, George Washington's con-
nectlon with Alexandria dates back far
beyond the time. when he was feted

BROWN nlends arc Worn.

Brown of every shade is the first
favorite this winter for both day and
evening wear. The modern tint of
brown is particularly soft by artificial
light and is made brilliant by en-
broideries and applications, and with
soft laces and blends of delicate color
most stunning results are effected. An
evening costume OF dead-leaf brown
tulle is thoroughly Partisan in its har-
mony OF coloring. The entire skirt is
striped at intervals with stitched bias
bands. an inch and a half wide, of
panne in the same color. A full fiounce
of the tulle at the bottom is covered
with applique wreaths of multi-colored
carnations. Steel paillettes outline the
embroidery and dot the foundation ma
terial. The bodice OF brown silk dam
ask has a bust decoration of artificial
carnation over the lace bertha which
drapes the decolletage. The bertha is
caught with bow of old blue panne

Even the names OF the streets In
Alexandria are reminiscent Of the old
regime. the principal thoroughfares
rejoicing in the names OF King. Wash
ington, Princess. Duke. St Asaph. Pitt
and Fairfax. There may yet be viewed
the Lowrason or Smoot house. where
Lafayette and his suite were quartered
when the distinguished Frenchman
was so royalty entertained upon the
occasion of his visit to Alexandria in
1925. and on King street is the Mar
shall house, where Col Ellsworth of
the New York zouaves paid the pen
atty of his life for tearing down Con-
federate fag-one OF the most drama
tic Incidents. OF the civil war.
Even the houses which have no par
ticular historical association are so
strange as to give the visitors the i'm
preston that he has suddenly been set

Century old walled-in gardens contrib

damp courtynrds and sepulchral wine
vaults. and. finally. stately mahogany
furniture. treasures in old china and
somber old family portraits aid in car
rying out the impression. For all that
did 1t not happen to be on the road
from Washington to Mount Vernon 1t
is likely that Alexandria would be al
most entirely neglected by the modern
tourist.
The most interesting place in Alex

congregation It was found necessary
to divide each pow into two, Wash

the door OF No. is a little plate In
scribed with facsimile of Washing

by Lawrence Washington, great
grand nephew of the general and one
of the present vestrymen. He was. by
the way, the first white male child
born In the mansion at Mount Vernon.
Across the aisle from Washington's
pew is No. 46, which was owned and
used by Robert Il. Lee. Lee was a
vestryman of the church at the time
the civil war broke out. The pew also
bears a plate with facsimile OF the

church is collection of hymnals,
