Deafness Cannot be Cured

one way to cure deafness. and that is by

The DEMOCRATS OF the Fourth ward,
through sheer neglect, yesterday allow
ed one of the party nominees for Council
to be defeated. This was the only ward
10 which there was any opposition what
ever to the regular nominees and with
the slightest effort on the part of the
democrats of that ward Mr.. Bryan would
have been returned to Council, where
be has served for some years most e.
fciently and satisfactorily as chairman
OF the finance committee. A large ma.
jOrity of the voters of the ward, however,
neglected to go to the polls and Mr..
Bryan was defeated. This but shows
the importance of democrats doing their
duty,

The City Council last night took
another step toward the sale OF the cleo
trio franchise in this city. Should
favorable bid be received and accepted
IL is believed that electricity for power
and heat, in addition to that for lighting
purposes, will soon be introduced
here and that Alexandria's material in-
teresis will be greatly advanced there
by. The difficulty heretofore has been
that small minority Of members OF
Council have held out for municipal own
ership. 1t will be remembered that at
the convention of the National Electric
Light Association, at Atlantic City last
week. President Blood, in his address,
said that public owership of utilities is
growing a failure both in England and
in America. This is generally accepted
6y business men as being true, and it Is
believed that if the city's rights are
Dperly sefeguarded the sale Of the
clric franchise will be a decided ad-
.ntage to Alexandria.

cherry tree the most cherished relic here
