AFTER BUCKET SHOPS.

The most drastic and far
reaching bill to prohibit bucket
shops" in this State is the pro-
duct of Senator Conn Linn, of
Call oway county. The measure
defines bucket shops" and
"bucket-shopping," and fixes the
penalty for violation at a fine of
from $50 to $500, and imprison-
ment in the county Jail from one
to six months. For second Of
Tense an additional Imprisonment
of from ten to sixty days, is
provided, and if a corporation, it
shall forfeit it's charter, and the
continuance OF such establish
ment after the first offense shall
be deemed a second offence. The
same penalty is prescribed for an
accessory. It is also made the
duty of every Circuit Judge in
the State to specially instruct the
grand jury as to this act.

RING IN CABBAGE.

One day last week M. D. Dick
ems bought a cabbage at Charlie
Saleeby'S which he carried home
for his wife to prepare for din
ner. When Mrs. Dickens at
tempted to quarter the cabbage
she found that the knife would
not cut through. With the as
sistance of Mr.. Dickens. the cab
bage was finally cut into, when
it was discovered that a heavy
gold ring was Undecided near the
center. The only plausible ex-
PLANTATION that can be given is
that when the = cabbage was
young some person working at,
or near it dropped the ring, which
lodged in one Of the leaves. AS
the cabbage cost only fifteen
cents and the ring is valued at
$40, Mr.. Dickens is quite well
satisfied with the transaction

A Business Education.

The choice OF a school is a problem
constantly confronting parents. Shall
1t be a public or private school? Our
public schools are good, but there are
great advantages to be secured from
training in private schools. Specialized
training Is the need Of the times. The
reason why private schools exist is sim
ply because they deserve to exist. They
produce better results than the public
schools. 1t is the matter Of getting
specialized training in the private
schools which is the one great feature
differentiating them from the excellent
public schools. These thoughts came
to the Gazette representative during
visit to the Pitmanic School Of Business
and Shorthand, comfortably quartered
on the third floor over the Alexandra
National Bank. Here James II. DePue,
A. NJ, has for year been carrying on
a high class select school for both
sexes, and has more than sixty students
under instruction. TProf. DePue brings
to his duties ripe experience as teach
err. and knowledge acquired as a grad
uate OF Lafayette College, Princeton
University, and the Western Theologi-
cal Seminary. For the benefit OF those
who cannot attend in the day time he
has a night session three times week
This school Is commended to the atten-
ton Of the parents OF Alexandria as
well as young people who desire prac-
teal business training.

lumbus and Pendleton streets, OF which
Rev. DR.. Hobbs is pastor.
Lutheran.-How the heart leaps at
the mention Of Lutheranisml What
more royal name in all the galaxy OF
the past than that of the Wittenburg
monk? The words that he spoke shook
the world and after years fell here
upon Alexandria ears. Poor, indeed,
would be the history Of the past four
centuries with the name and work OF
Martin Luther left out. 1t is compli-
ment to any atmosphere or political soil
that It affords a place for Lutheran
ism.
The Lutheran Church OF Alexandria
Is called the Emanuel Evangelical, and
stands at the corner of Cameron and
N. Alfred. Rev. John ]. May is pastor.
This church has a Ladies' Aid Society
and a Young Peoples Society.
Catholicism.-The Roman Catholic
Church, claiming a worldwide mission,
came early to the shores OF the new
world Their heroic priests plunged
into the tracltless forests and lifted up
the cross before the red mems eyes,
calming their wild passions with the
wondrous story Of a Redeemer's love.
Rome came to teach the truth as she
holds 1t. No purer form, perhaps, OF
Romanism exists than has been found
in free America, and Alexandria claims
in her Catholicism high type OF that
ecclesiasticism that has belted the
world.
The Catholic Church of Alexandria.
Mt Mary's, is on S. Royal, near Duke.
Father H. ]. Cutler is pastor. The
members of this church have important
aids in uplift work in the Young Mems
Sodality Lyceum, the Father Matthew
fIa
cen. de Paul Society, and the Catho-
lie Women's Benevolent Legion. These
societies hold regular meetings In st.
Mary's Hall.
Jewish.-The chosen people of God
from the time of Abraham have been
the chief factor in the history Of the
world The world owes much to
Greece for it's culture; to Rome for its
system of law; to the other great civili-
cations that have arisen and persisted;
but to the Jews can be traced Chris
tianity and whatever has been best for
humanity. The providential place of
the Jew in the divine economy has been
the highest.
the ocean of time like the gulf stream
through the Atlantic-separate from
and unmixed with the world.
The Jew goes everywhere; Of course
he came to this community. and his
record here has been a part Of his
splendid record everywhere. They are
today among the pillars of our com
mercial fabric.
The Jewish Synagogue of Alexandria
is at zoo N. Washington street. Con-
nected with this organization are two
important subordinate bodies, the He
brew Benevolent Society and the Coun-
ell of Jewish Women.
The colored people have a dozen or
more churches divided among three
sects, the Baptist leading, followed by
the Methodists, and that by one So
ciety OF Seventh Day Adventists.

THE SOUL OF THE CITY.
Fine Religious and Moral Influences
at Work in Alexandria.

Churches are the various streams
flowing from the fountain-head OF true
civilization. On these streams hoat 10
us the commerce of the ideal, the IN
tellectual and the spiritual world. Inc
waters of their influence irrigate the
orchards of the arts and sciences. Inc
rush of their currents turns the pom,
derous machinery Of government ana
social life. In the garden OF the tWeh-
tieth century the eye Of even unprelu-
diced unbelief sees in every cnurch inc
tree of life. A..A
we talk of civilization, but poth
morality and civilization are ploohs
whose roots are in the church. Philo.

The city supports an almshouse for

is superintendent.
The old Ladies Home. at 2Os N.
Fairfax, supported from kindly purses,
has Mrs. Eliza Carson for matron.
AS elsewhere noted, the Presbyterian
Church Home Is at 314 S. Royal. A
glory of Alexandria is shown In its in
terest in the poor, the friendless and
unfortunate. While care is taken that
impostors and unworthy persons shall
not receive assistance to which they are
not entitled, the deserving poor never
make an appeal that is not listened to,
OF that fails to awaken the sympathy
OF those actively engaged in works OF
philanthropy. Several of the churches
have societies with this end In view.
The Catholics, as everywhere, are espe-
cially active in this matter. Elks and
various orders are also prominent in
this work.

THE EYES OF THE CITY.
The Police, the Fire Laddles and the
Military.

The Alexandria Police Department
has always been kept up to a high
standard and for this reason serious
crimes are rare in the city. Criminals
give Alexandria a wide berth, for the
reputation Of the Alexandria police
force has been passed along the line.
The department is composed OF a COM
mission including the Mayor and men,
bers representing the different wards.

There has never been In the history
OF the city any affair which the police
have not been able to keep well in
hand. although great cities are near at
hand from which crooks can come
quickly and cheaply. Many public
meetings are held here during the year,
and many thousands of strangers
more perhaps than to any other city Of
the size in the country-are entertained
within the city limits, yet robberies are
singularly rare, and when they do oc-
cur the guilty are usually captured and
punished. There were 1855 arrests
last year and 300 persons were confined
in Jail, 129 whites and 100 negroes. the
fines collected amounted to about |o'-
900.
