POLICE COURT DOINGS
Han Fined $s For Killing A NeighBor's Dog.

Robert l.. Hotchkiss had no particu-; lar grudge against George s. Buffers dog when he shot it dead few days ago. They are neighbors living on the Cheshire road. Hotchkiss keeps chickens; so does Butler But the dog had great fancy for HotchIxiss's while it would not interfere with its masters. Last Thursday Hotchkiss was walking through his fields when he heard squawking and surmised one of his feathered flock was in trou- ble He immediately hied to his house and got his gun. He went back to where he had heard the uproar in the brush, and seeing something yellow, he though it was fox or Hawk and he fired. Then he saw a black dog run off and another dog, yellow one killing his hen. He then shot both dogs dead and buried them. For kill ing Buffers dog, which was register ed, Hotchkiss was before Judge Bur- pee in the city court to-day, and was fined $5 and costs. Butler considered his dog worth $50.
 A case against Orton Lighe for non- support was continued to tomorrow morning.
 Raymond Holohan and George Col
 
 Matson's store on Cherry street and taking $400 worth oi goods. This case was continued to tomorrow as the evidence in the hands of the po- lice is not complete. The burglary in question took place Monday night. Last evening Holohan was amusing himself in Jacques theater by firing wads of paper from t'nigger heaven at the bald heaGs in the front row of the parquet. He was in the zenith of enjoyment when the heavy hand of Officer Fitzgerald was laid on him. Near him sat Collins, and on general principles, when Collins saw the off, cer's hand alighting on Holohan's shoulder, he ducked under the seat, surmising that he might be worth taking also Fitzgerald grabbed Collins by the end of the pants and pulled him up. Upon reaching the po- lice station it transpired they were wanted for the burglary of Matson's place. Collins has been in trouble of this nature before.
 James Moran looked ashamed of himself when he stood up to answer to the charged stealing pants worth $5 and watch worth $3 or $4 from Daniel McKiernan, and watch worth $20 and two razors worth g. from Martin Phelan. All three were room-mates in boarding house on Lafayette street. The goods were promptly recognized by the owners. Moran had nothing to say for himself. He had pawned one of the watches 1 and he had ticket and the other watch and the pants on when he was arrested For theft of Phelan's prop erty he was fined $5 and costs and given sixty days in jail, and on the other charge he was fined S7 and costs and given thirty days in jail. He put 1 in no defense and seemed heartily l ashamed of himself.

INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE.

The case Of Ben L. Winchell. who
rose from the position Of water boy
to the Presidency Of the Rock island
railroad, IL one Of the latest examples
that should be an inspiration ID all
young men. Whatever the change Of
Industrial conditions, human nature re
mains the same. and individual init.
stive, personal integrity, and perser-
verance will win in spite Of Ill OBJ
stacles that may be thrown in the
way. The boy who makes up his mini
to succeed and who crowds steadily
forward and with that object in view
cannot be held altogether in check.
whatever the outward circumstances
with which he Is forced to contend.
Let him think success, dream success,
and above all, work for success, and
success must at last be reached.
The old fashioned idea Of honesty,
persistentcy and fidelity are just as
valuable today as they have ever been,
The door cannot be closed to those
who seek advancement on these Ii
gitimate lines. Whatever the epora-
die out-croppings Of any particular
time. these virtues remain cardinal to
all those who would reach the top. Az
ter ell, theorize as we may, the fact re.
mains that it is character rather than
circumstances which determines
mans real standing.
Mastery is the keynote. He who
would win out must master the thing
be would do. He must master 1t in
general and In detail. However mod
est he may be externally, he must
ever conscientously hold the mastery
attitude. And he must dare to climb
high. Every man has capacity in some
direction. The thing he needs is ap-
plication. Let him organize his forces
his internal forces, and he has organ
lied q victory. He may be compelled
to toll on in obscurity hard and long,
but at last the opportunity must come
Happy is he who has such thorough
control of self, who has 50 stored his
mind, who has so fortified his charac-
GER, that he can seize tha opportunity
when it is presented and become its
master as he before became master Of
his own propensities and powers.
AlHnNllI!lIlll
Forty-three human beings falling q
distance Of 1000 feet is not an agree
agile thing to think about, but the Eng
ish owners Of the South African mines
in which this mischance happened
doubtless derive some small comfort
from the reflection that the men were
all natives. Moreover, they are now
no longer heather barbarians. Futher-
more, their relatives have no standing
in the British colonial courts. AMI
suits for damages are not to be feared.
So the matter is not SO bad as it
looks, and "the white mans burden
is, in this case. more easily borne
than one would think. 1t consists
mainly in the expense of removing
the remains from the bottom of the
shaft.

Christian Association

A movement is on foot for the re-
organization of the Young Men s Chris
tan Association in Alexandria. In the
olden time there was an Alexandria
institution which was much appreciated
as an auxiliary ofthe church. Its mem
beers embraced communicates from nearly
all evangelical bodies, and its work was
generally among q class who seldom at
tended church or who went out of their
way to hear the Gospel. Committees
held services in the aims house, the CITY
Jail and on street corners, while a gen
eraI prayer meeting was conducted III
some church every Sunday afternoon.
Previous to the civil war and for alcng
time after its close the Young Mems
Christian Association was a vigorous
ORGANIZATION in Alexandria, n many
representative citizens, members OF all
Protestant denominations, had their
names upon its rolls. About twenty
ago interest in the association be
gan to wan until it finally ceased to
exist. A meeting of the committee was
held yesterday afternoon in the M.
P. Church at which the movement
was thoroughly discussed. 1t was de-
cided 10 make arrangements for holding
a public meeting in the near future and
to invite the State organizer to visit his
city and make an address.

An Early Morning Fire.

About $50 O'Clock this morning a fire
was discovered in the passageway OF the
residence of Mr.. John Harlow, on the
west side of Royal street, near Cameron.
Mr.. Charles Smith, who lives on the OPP
posite side of the street, upon having
his attention called to the excitement
attending the discovery, rushed out OF
the house about half dressed and pro
ceeding to the place in which the fire
was raging prevented what might have
become a serious confagratiOn by throw
ing the burning articles into the street.
Mr.. Smith was assisted by Mr.. George
N. Proctor. A mattress was promptly
thrown from an upper room to the side
walk below that in case egress was cut
off by the burning of the stairway the
use of a ladder and a short fall would
provide successful escape. The loss Will

Double-tracking r., T. & P. 4. 4.

The work of double tracking the line
If The Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad is progressing rapidly.
Already trains are being run over the
new track between Acca aud Ashland,
and from Ruther Glen to Guiuea's
station. in ell about t~hirty-six miles.
A large gang of laborers is at work at
several points on the line simultaneously,
and it is believed hat before the sum-
mer opens the road and all the roads
usinq its lines will be operating on the
double track from Richmond to Summit
station. a distance of ffty-three miles.
AT every point along the line where it is
feasible to do so the curves in the old
line are being eliminated, thus some
whas decreasing the distance and aug
menting the safety of travel. New
bridges over the North Anna and South
Anna rivers are included in the plan OF
rehabilitation and improvement, and
wherever possible the safety OF road
crossings is being increased by running
the railway line overhead. 1t is estl-
mated that when the entire work shall
baye been completed the distance be-
tween Richmond and Alexandria Will
have been decreased six to eight miles.

fcers Young and Ticer charged with
disturbing the services at Roberts

night. An officer of the church who
had made the complaint was not present
when the case was called this morning,

boys who congregate about churches on
Sunday.
