terday afternoon, and the usual crowd OF
habitues of old ST. Asaph, when that
place was in operation, picked the
monies. The amount OF business done
was rather small, but the men who are
operating the establishment say they
will do better today, and probably every
day until the 10Th of this month, when
the United States Court will decide
whether it can continue TO do business
by deciding whether the national gov
eminent had the right to cede back 10
Virginia land coded for a site tor the
national capital. The short lease OF
life given to its promoters, John q. Nell
son and James LafOntaine, by Judge
Waddill, presiding in the United states
District Court at Richmond, has been
taken advantage of, ADD with practically

the promoters, as we'll as patrons, seem
ed thoroughly at ease. The action OF
Judge Waddill in advising Crandall
Mackay, attorney for the Commonwealth
of Alexandria, not TO make raid on the
place, is considered by the 'turhtes'
az a good omen that, when the final hear
ing in the case will have been heard, a
decision in favor of the pool room opera
tors will he handed down. Pending
such decision, the hands of the authorl-
ties of both Alexandria county and the
District of Columbia are tied, and this
fact was flashed over the telegraph wires

nesday when a daughter was born to
Mrs. Herbert Henry Spender-Clay in
London. It's the truth, for this mite Of
humanity is the granddaughter of Will
liam Waldorf Aston, who will burden
her. one of these days, with a for
tune of at least 500, 900, 900, while
perhaps one-tenih that much more
will descend upon her from the fathers
side. Baby Clay will grow up with only
a traditional recollection that she has
American blood in her veins. be,
mother. who was Miss Pauline Astor,
was born at s east rhirty-third street,
New York, but she was only miss in
short skirts when her father decided
he liked England better than his native
country.
Since her tenth year Mrs. Spender-
Clay has paid only two brief visits to
America. Nevertheless, up to the time
she married an Englishman she used to
saw. in spite of her fathers remuneration
of his American citizenship, that she
preferred TO be known as an American.
The marriage of Miss Astor to Captain
H. H. Spender- Clay took place October
80 of last year.

RechabiteS.

The High Tent, Independent Order OF
Rechabites. is in session in Scottish Kltle
Hall Washington, and the sessions are
interesting. The order is peculiar in the
respect that the high chief ruler has the
mower (bv consent of the delegates) to
confer on any member the title of Past
Chief Ruler for valuable services rendered
to the order, whether the person thus ht n
ored has ever held the Office or not. For
some reason there were quite number
who opposed this measure, and for a
time a lively discussion followed as 10
whether the High Chief Ruler should
exercise the power vested in him or not.
Finally vote was taken and those who
opposed the measure were outnunbered
overwhelmingly, when the honor was con-
fered on three persons who have been
instrumental in building up tents in this
vicinity, among them being MIR. w. H.
Griffin of Perseverance Tent Of this city.
Among the delegates in attendance on
this session are Messrs. l.. D. Lyles,
Edgar Lyles, G. NJ. Griffin and W. l..
Griffin. Mr.. w. w. Cordell, who is
we'll known here is a candidate for the
position of High Chief Ruler, and bis
friends are very sanguine of his election

by Mayor Paff:
To the Hon. City Council, Alexandria, Va:
Gentlemen:-At this the first meeting after
the summer vacation desire to congratulate
Won on the very competent manner In which
Won have legislated the affairs Of our city. So
ccomnlete has YOUR work been that there
was no occasion for single called meeting
This. | firmly believe, is without precedent.
In again entering upon your arduous duties
desire TO call your attention 10 matIel
which, according TO my idea. Is OF grave iiii'
portance 10 the welfare and growth OF our city;
deem il Of great importance that you proceed
in the manner as laid down by the law TO ex-
tend the boundary lines Of our city, taking IN
part Of the neighboring counties. An IN
yestigation will assure you that we are one OF
the most congested built up cities IN the
country and absolutely need more room. More
over the aid Of our police and fire department
is frequently asked for by our neighbors who
do not pay one cent toward maintaining the
same. i am inclined TO the belief that a large
number Of these county inhabitants would
welcome such a move on our part
Another matter which desire to bring to
vour attention is the Health Department, also
that of the Physicians TO the Poor, recently
had occasion to investigate and found both in
rather bad shape. If you deem it advisable e
refer this to your proper committees l vii
furnish them With data (which / have In
handy showing how loosely these respective
denartments have been conducted.
Respectfully submitted.
FRED. J. PAFF, Mayor.
