Then for the first and only time in his
life Thorpe fell to weeping, while she.

him.

tenseness of his nerves relaxed. BE sa-

subdued light, warmed atmosphere. He
watched with soul deep gratitude the
soft girlish curves of Hilda's body. the
poise of her flower head, the piquant
half wistful, half childish set Of her
red lips, the clear starlike glimmer OF
her dusky eyes. 1t was all near to him

MEMORIAL SENT TO PRESIDENT
BY EAST END CHURCH.
n BEHALF OF PIMA INDIANS
Killings at MorrelI Packing House
Show Increase Over Last Week
Hold Street Meetings-lmprove-
ments Being Made.

A memorial in behalf of the Pima
Indians of Arizona has been sent to
President Roosevelt as a result of a
meeting held at the East End Presby-
terrain church last Sunday, which was
addressed by Mrs. w. H. HORNED, wife
OF the pastor. The letter asks that
the President use his authority in be-
half OF the Indians and was authorized
by vote of the congregation.
The Pima Indians are civilized
Christian tribe and have long been
thrifty and Industrious wheat growers
with fine farms along the ella river
but by the incoming of the white set
tiers, mostly Mormons, in the valley
above, the water is said to have been
stolen from the Indians so that they
can no longer irrigate their farms and
the land is retrograding to cactus and
sage brush.
Pathetic Story.
| 1t is a long and pathetic story, the
need and discouragements of these
Christian Indians who never shed a
drop of white mans blood" said Mrs
HORNED. The government proposes to
give them reservoirs which would
catch the water from the melting snow
and hold millions of gallons of water
which would otherwise go to waste
Now it is said that the white specula
tors are trying to gain control of the
reservoirs and it was to call the atten
ton of President Roosevelt to the mat
ter that this action was taken by the
East End church.
Hold Street Meeting.
Dow Wy poeto, of fht
East End Presbyterian church, assist
ed by the members, held street meet
ing on the corner of Iowa avenue ant
Hayne street Thursday evening at
o'clock. Rev. HORNED preached iron

Want a New Pole.

The flag pole which was placed on
Windmill Hill in 1896, bearing the
names Of Bryan and Sewell has
weathered the storms of the past elgh'
wears and now shows signs of weakness.
The he topmast has long been reminder .ltaI
Of the leaning tower of Pisa, and many
believe il is a menace to the throngs
Of people who congregate on Windmill m i
Hill on summer evenings. In fact 1t IS
suggested that the pole proper is oe'
cayed at its base, and should receive at,
tention. The campaign is now on Ou'
so far as can be observed the democrats
of the First ward are manifesting bu'
little entbusiasm-nOt enough, so far, tc

may later on, when they will doubtless

Teams for Maneuvres.

Bids are shortly to be opened in
Washington for the animals required
in the transportation of supplies for the
army and militia joint man@uvres at
Manassas, Va, in September. 1t is es,
timated that four hundred horses and
mules will be required, and thecontracts
will be divided into twenty-five teams
of two animals each. The contractor
mnst furnish his own teamster, who VIII
he pIaced under bond and will be amen
able to military discipline. One OF the
objections to employing contractors
for this service is the fact that the driy-
ers of the teams are not imbued with the
military spirit, and sometimes defy tpe
army officers, who have no redress or
means of punishment except annulling
the contract, and that would in most
cases inconvenience the government
more than it would harm the contractor.
The wagons needed in the Virgins
maneuvres will be supplied by the gov
ern ment, and the four hundred animals
will be assembled at st. Asaph, Va,
where the department has a quartermas'
ter depot, and will march to Manassas,
a two days travel. 1t will be "a military
spectacle which will recall the days oil
the civil war.

Development of Traffic.

Mr.. NJ. b. Harlow, President Of the
Business Mems League, of this city, has
received the following letter from Mr.
T. @. Powell, Freight Traffic Manager
of the Southern Railway:
81 am writing you to know what we
can do looking toward the development
of manufacturing industries in Alexan-
dria. | am advised that the fertilizer
factory will be enlarged, and that the
three glass factories are all in operation.
1t seems to me that with the opportunity
of securing cheap raw material and hav-
ing satisfactory rates TO the South, Alex
andria should be able to compete very
successfully with Baltimore in handling
the Southern trade. Rates from the west
to Alexandria are practically the same as
to Baltimore in all cases, and the rates from
Alexandria TO the South are not higher
than from Baltimore and frequently lower
Under the circumstances, it would ap-
pear that Alexandria has a good oppor-
tunity to develop in that direction. |
shall be pleased to hear from you. l
wish YOU would send me three copies OF
your map of Alexandria, if you have
them to spare. Why should not Alex
andria ship grain to the South"
