To Enlarge the Plant.

1t was recently announced in the
Gazette that the Alexandria Fertilizer
and Chemical Company purposed to erect
on three squares of ground in the
north eastern part Of the city modern
plant The acquisitions on the Alexan,
Gria company are increasing yearly, and
it has become necessary to demolish

structures which will meet the require
ments of the times. A modern electric
plant will be installed in the new build
ings. together with the latest machinery
and appliances for preparing and ship
ping fertilizer This company already

ing late years, aud the company oPe-
rating the plant referred to purposes to

improvement will be commenced within

st. NIary's Academy.

Conspicuous among the splendid edu-
cational institutions of our city IS 1t.
Mary's Academy, conducted by the Sis.
tiers of the Holy Cross, as a boarding and
day school for young girls, and now in
its thirty-sixth year of usefulness in our
community. Its central location, ample
grounds, commOdiOus building and well
equipped clsssrOoms are factors that
make for the schools success, and tend
to fix the choice OF parents in selecting
an educational, institution for their daugh-
tiers. It's classes are carefully graded
from kindergarten and primary work up
to the studies of the graduating class,
the course covering eleven years and en-
bracins all the branches Of liberal edu-
cation.
The bodily well being of the pupils is
secured by course in physical culture
and daily practice in the open air as we'll
as by careful attention to the sanitary
conditions of the house. Nor are the
teachers satisfied with merely giving an
intellectual and physical training equal
TO that of any school in the land. special
care is taken to cultivate the moral and
aesthetic nature by surrounding the
pupils with all the refining and uplifting
influences that produce the woman,
noble 10 thought and word and action.
The course in English isthorough and
systematic. First, a perfect knowledge
Of grammar is insisted upon, then rhet-
oric is carefully and practically taught,
and finally study of the masterpieces
of our literature is made. Practical work
in English composition is required from
the lower grades TO the graduating class.
A manuscript school paper edited
monthly by the senior pupils and read
before the school and its faculty affords
the Young ladies means of cultivating
good style and perfecting themselves
in the all important art of writing. Lit
erary circles and societies meet weekly
for the study and comparison of great
authors, and a well stocked library as
we'll as chemical and physical apparatus
affords ample means of improvement
along literary and scienl fic lines.
The musical department under the
direction of three experienced teachers
offers special advantages. Vocal music
after the most approved methods through
private lessons and in general class at
fords unusual facilities for voice culture
while careful instruction is given on
piano, violin and all the minor stringed
instruments.
Latin, Palmer method OF penmanship,
slenography and typewriting are Promi'
nent features of the school; the entire
curriculum is so thoroughly modern and
complete that no parent DESTROYS OF CIV
ing his daughter finished education
need 90 out of the city, for the adVan
tages which st. Mays affords are equa
to those of any academy in the land.

The Travers-Smith Case.

The case of William h. Travers VS..
Lieutenant James Smith, which had
been before the Board of Police Com
missioners since last June, was settled
last night by Mayor Paf. The facts In
CONNECTION with the case have been
published several times, and the evidence
last night was substantially the same as
had been given in the Police Court and
later before the commissioners. Travers,
it will be remembered, was at the Old
Dominion Glass Works requesting the
proprietors to discharge his son who was
at work there, and Lieutenant Smith,
who was present, having been summoned
there on business, demonstrated with
him and observed that he should not
interfere with the youth who was aiding
in the support of his mother. Accord
ing to the lieutenanfs version OF the
affair, Travers used insulting language
toward him, telling the officer that ne
was interfering with his business. he
supplemented this by applying an ugly
name to the lieutenant, when the latter
SLAPPED him. Travers, however, in his
statement, asserted that the lieutenant
called him vile name first. This was
not corroborated by Messrs. Schwarz-
mann and Hopkins, the witnesses who
had been summond. Mayor Patf IN
summing up the case said that while
Lieutenant Smith could not be justified
in taking the law in his own hands, he
would dismiss the case, inasmuch as he
had been fined 81. so in the Police Court
for the assault.

Republican Convention.

The republican convention of the
Eighth Congressional district held an
adjourned meeting in Schuler's Hall at
noon today to nominate a candidate for
Congress. The convention, it will be
remembered, held a meeting last Feb
ruary to select delegates to the Chicago
convention, and adjourned to meet in
Alexandria to nominate candidate fol
Congress.
About thirty persons were present,
including five cOlored men.
Capt. A. L. B. diZerega, of Loudoun
county, called the meeting to order, and
DR.. f. NJ. Brooks, of Fairfax, called
the roll of delegates and read the minutes
of the last meeting.
The chairman then announced the
purpose of the convention. he sald
that should the party fail to elect It's
candidate, there was liability oil de-
creasing the democratic vote, as many
members of that organization were dis
gusted with the work of the constitu-
tional convention which had formulated
and proclaimed constitution which DIS
franchised many honest voters. This
would be a formidable issue for the re-
publican candidate to take advantage of.
DR.. Brookes made few remarks in
which he said the party should nominate
a man who had a clear record and one
who was not endeavoring to advertise
himself for a federal office. He nomi-
mated Mr.. E. L. Howard, of Herndon,
Fairfax county.
A Loudoun delegate nominated Capt:
diZerega. The latter, however, declined
and said he hoped the convention would
unanimously nominate Mr.. Howard.
After remarks by some delegates IN
favor of the unanimous nomination OF
Mr.. Howard, the secretary was directed
to cast the vote of the convention tor
him.
A committee then escorted the noml'
nee to the platform and he made briei
speech, thanking the convention for the
honor conferred and praising the repuo'
licau PARTY for its course. :.
Resolutions endorsing the Roosevelt
administration were subsequently adopt
ed, after which the convention adjourned
