SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 81, 1906.

THE attempt to attract manufactures
+, Washington has again produced sPor-
sdic cases of annexation fever. The
cases so far, are of a mild type. Que
writer in a Washington paper in sug-
costing the absorption Of Alexandra by
the District of Columbia says the land
about the new union railroad yards offers
splendid building sites tor warehouses Of
wholesale merchants. The writer also
says that 'the people Of Alexandria no
doubt will be delighted to come back
and have their old town embraced with
in the corporate limits of the national
capital." II can be positively stated
that the people OF the good old town de-
sire no such thing. and will, as hereto
fore, resist any such movement even to
the court of Last resort. Annexation,
like the seventeen-year locust. makes Is
appearance periodically. A few yea"
ago it was the dream OF few people IN
Alexandra city and county, but 1t even
tually passed away like other halluci-
nations, since which time no one
seems to have given annexation SER
ious consideration. There are many
still living who remember conditions
that existed while Alexandria was the
tail of the District kite. nearly three
score yeals ago, when all the monoy ioF
public buildings and improvements was
spent north of thu Potomac. This would
continue to be the case were Alexandra
again made part OF the District OF Col
umbia. This city would not be benefit
ted IN any way by the change. The re-
port made by Senator Hosr in the Sen
ate a year or two before he died on the
retrocession question should convince all
sane people that Alexandria will never
again become part of the District oil
Columbia.

The BODY of Mrs Mary Fay, who
died at New York last week at the age
Of 1915 years, was found to be in so un-
usual state OF preservation that the
corouer's physician called in other doc
torb to observe the case. They were
amazed to find the body like that of a
healthy woman of 80, and inquiry
brought out the fact that he old lady
had lived for forty years almost exclu-
sively upon a diet of dry bread and
milk, refusing meat or vegetables alto
gether. The doctors are wondering if
this corroborates to some extent the
theory OF Professor Metchnikof, of Paris,
that the ferment germs 10 sour milk are
deadly enemies to the putrefsctric germs
