basis at present rate of exchange rep
of cape gold for Germany reported

siderable gold. There will soon be in
the neighborhood of @3,760,000 availab BILE

NAMES OF STREETS.

Several years ago it was suggested by
the Gazette that the time had come to
replace the names of streets on the
corners of all thoroughfares. In the
olden times these small signs were the
guide posts OF strangers who visited
Alexandria. They are now rs scarce
as sea serpents from the fact that most
corner buildings have been demolished
during the past half a century and new
structures occupy their sites. These
are minus the ante bellum legends.
This matter was again brought to mind
this morning when a young man, a
stranger, with bewildered look, stood
on the northeast corner of King and
Washington streets and requested a
passer-by to direct him to Washington
street. The Civic improvement League
has recently been engaged in the COM
mendable work of inspiring tidiness in
all people in the community, and to
day an excursion is being given for the
purpose of raising funds with which to
improve conditions at the aims house.
This association may act on the above
hint and take steps toward acceleratlne
a movement which was started in Coun-
Gil some time ago looking to the placing
Of the names of thoroughfares on the
corners thereof.
