England's Reserve Force.

London, July "A veterans re-
serve force, embracing 100000
men between the ages OF 80 and 80,
all of whom have seen military service,
is the latest plan of Secretary OF War
Haldane, who announced today that
this addition to the military strength
Of the nation would be effected within
the six months.
The idea Of the reserve force origna
ted with st. Lee Strachey, a magazine
editor, and was Immediately adopted
by Haldane. TO test the temper of the
people, an appeal was issued TO tbs
county OF Surrey for all physically fit
men," between the stated ages, who
had seen service in the volunteers,
ycomanry or tcrritorials, TO COM
muncatc with the War Office. From
this small county there we're 1900 re-
sponses. These men were Immediately
brought together and an inspection
made. Secretary Haldane was sur
priSed at the result. He says there were
scarcely dozen out of the $500 who
did not measure up to the military re-
quircmcntS. Other counties arc as en-
thusiastc rs Surrey and just rs soon as
P;lrIiamcnt will make the necessary
appropriation to pay for the work OF
organization, the reserve force will
be a reality.

WASHINGTON SOUTHERN SERVES
APPEAL NOTICE.

The Washington Southern Railroad
has given formal notice that it will
appeal to the Supreme Court of Vir-
GINA from the ruling OF the State
Corporation Commission from raising
its passenger rate from 2 cents to Il
cents per mile instead of to 8 cents,
as petitioned. The appeal will not be
heard until the fall.
Attorneys for the railroad are now
busily preparing the record for the
case which will be very voluminous.
The Washington Southern regards
the decisions OF the commission as an
act of injustice and it is evidently de-
termned to fight the case to the last
ditch.
The Richmond Fredericksburg and
Potomac, as already noted in these
columns, will petition the commission
for - cent rate in the fall, notwith-
standing the decision in the Washing
ton Southern case.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING. JULY ..

THE regeneration OF Palestine IS ut
tracing no little attention 1T present.
Since the DAYS Of Peter the Hermit, en-
thusiastic people, who have believed the
ancient prophecies concerning the
blessings in store for that interesting
section of the world have aided III one
way or another in furthcring move
ments for placing the Holy Land IN
the possession Of the children OF Israel.
They have all proven failures, probably
for the reason that 'Jersulem was to
be trodden down OF the gcntilcs until
the times Of the gentileS should be ful-
filed" 1t has been nearly nineteen
hundred years since the c'ty oi the
Great King was wrestcd from the Jews
and conditions now existing in Palestine
are such as have not been III evidence
since the days Of the Caesars. Only those
who have given read attention to The sub
iectcan form anything like an idea of the
stupendous change that is coming over
the HOLY Land. The land. and the
people and all the conditions OF lie
are undergoing 4 strange TRANSFORMED
ton. There are now over 80, 600 Jews IN
and around Jerusalem alone. The little
red houses that have sprung up by the
hundreds without the city present u
sinoular contrast to the ancient gray
walls. A marvellous revival OF industry
is one OF the causes OF this wonderful
influx. Another is to be found in the
series Of pogroms, or ruthless mass
acres in Russia. Roumanian oppression
of Jews has swclled the stream OF emf
grants. Oflatc years the old and decaycd
towns of Galilee and Judca, such as IT.
berias, Hebron. Safed, etc. have become
seats of industry such as 4 generation
400 would not have been dreamed OF.
Whoever expected to see modern work
shops in these sleepy and stagnant old
cities. which seemed doomed to bc Tor
all time but mockcry Of their own
hoary antiquity? 1t truly makes an
extraordinary impression on one to see
cabinet-makcrs, carpenters. smiths,
tailors and other artiSans-all jews
toiling in such surroundings. Strang-
est of all is the resurrection OF the dead
language, for in many of these colonies
is spoken the tongue Of Moses and
David lust as it was current III Bible
times. This revival, which isa fulfil
ment Of prophetic expectation, was de-
rided at first, but it Is already an ac-
complished success.

Bull Bitten by Shake.

Slate Run, Pa, July 2.-While rat
tiers have not been SO plentiful this
season as formerly, some extra fine
Specimens have been gathered in this
vicinity, and the apprehension that the
crop was going TO be short this year
has been dispelled.
Animals are rarely bitten, though oc-
casionally a careless one, like a careless
person, gets inoculated. W. II. Miller
OF Cammal has a bull which he valued
ut $50, and while eating about stone
pile in the pasture it was bitten by one
of the largest snakes ever harvested
here. The bull is in a very critical con-
dtion, and it is doubtful if the animal
will live, its body. being swollen to huge
proportions. Dogs are more frequently
bitten than other animals, and instinct
tells them what to do They seek mud
puddles and bury. the injured part, if
possible, in mud and stay there till The
swelling goes down. A dog rarely sue
cumbs to bite.

strange Man In Bath. Tub.

New York, July 2.-Unable to sleep
because of the heat, Mrs. Genevieve
Caldwell went out on the stoop OF her
house to await the return of her husband
who gets home after midnight After
waiting a while she went back into the
house and was astonished to see the
lights burning and hear a splash in
the bathroom. Thinking her husband
had come home quietly and was play
ing a joke on her, Mrs. Caldwell open
ed the bathroom door.
Help! Murder! Police! Burglars!"
Her screams were soon arousing the
neighborhood, as the man standing in
the bathroom before her bore no re-
semblance to the head of the Caldwell
house. Mrs. Caldwell ran toward the
street door and met Policeman
O'FIaherty who had been on post on
the corner.
Burglars in my fat" she gasped.
and O'Flaherty, with tight grip on
his club, ran down the supposed
burglar, trying to dry himself in a
hurry. He put on his clothes and was
hurried around to the station with his
captor, APPARENTLY in a daze.
I'm David Saintzing," he start
ed to explain. He's nothing of
the sort, he's burglar" broke in
Mrs. Caldwell who had followed to
the station house.

prisoner, and that,fat belongs to my
friend Joe Bernhard He gave me a
key and told me to 60 in any time I
wanted to. 1t was hot and l. went in

The janitor OF the fiat said Bernhardt
had lived in the fiat until Monday
when he gave it up. Later Bernhardt
arrived and explained he had forgotten
to tell Saintzing that he had moved.
Half a dozen other witnesses sworc
to his good character, but Mrs. Cald-
well refused to withdraw her charge
and Saintzing was locked up on Il
charge of unlawful entry and kept in
a cell until court time when synpa
thetic magistrate discharged him.
