Little Boy Grizzly.

Enos A. Mills, writing Of his ad-
ventures with a pet bear known as
Little Boy Grizzly, says: He and
| had few foot races. and usually, in
order to give me better chance. we
ran downhill. In Il 200 yard dash he
usually paused three or four times and
waited for me 10 catch up, and | was
not slow biped either. The grizzly,
though apparently awkward and lum-
berry. is one Of the most agile of beasts,
constantly marveled at GriZzly's
Iightness Of touch or the deftness OF
movement Of bis forepaws. With but
one claw touching it be could slide a
coin back and forth on the floor more
rapidly and lightly than | could. He
would slide an eggshell swiftly along
without breaking it. Yet by using one
paw he would without effort overturn
rocks that were heavier than himself"

1000 HAVE PAID TAXES.

As has been stated in this column
several times recently, it is necessary
for all suffragans to pay their state
taxes before the 9th instant in order TO
become qualified voters aud to partici-
pate in the primary election early next
fall. 1t is unnecessary to say that 1t
is duty incumbent upon all citizens
to participate in elections. People who
are unconcerned on such occasions do
their state harm. Virginia was thrown
into the republican column in 1872
and her vote was cast for u. S. Grant
for president General Apathy"
brought about that result.
City Treasurer Thomas W. Robinson
stated this morning that about 1000
persons have paid their taxes and he
expects that about 200 more will re-
spond during the next four days.
There are nearly 5000 people in Alex
andria who have the privilege OF paying
their taxes and voting.

PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

Preliminary steps for the organiza
ton of a parentteachers association
we're taken at meeting called for that
purpose at Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett s
on Yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Whit.
lock president of the association OF
Richmond gave an interesting talk on
the needs and objects Of the organlza-
ton and told Of the good that had been
accomplished by the association III
Richmond and else where. She showed
that when the home and school were
brought more closely together that mu-
tual helpfulness was engendered, the
teacher finding her work much lessened
by the intelligent cooperation OF the
parents and the parents realizing more
fully tthe need of a comprehension on
their part, of the discipline and over
sight that their children needed.
Mahlon Janney of the Washington
street school spoke Of the lack Of co
operation between the home and school
in the city showed by the fact that few
parents ever visited the schools or had
a speaking acquaintance with the
teacher. Tie need of the teacher know
ing something of the home life OF the
child was spoken OF by Mrs. E. R.
Stabler. Miss Carlin showed that the
holding OF mothers meetings in connec-
with the kindergarten had been of.great
assistance in keeping up the interest in
the kindergarten.
Capt. Herbert Bryant said that ne
felt sure the Board of Education would
be glad to CO operate in every way posi-
BILE for any movement that will be OF
benefit to the school. DR.. Smith also
pledged his support provided means
could be found to sufficiently interest
the parents so that they would attend
the meetings and allay themselves with
the advancement Of the schools 1t
was pointed out that there was too great
a tendency among parents to look upon
the teacher as kind OF nurse and to
over look the great influence that the
teacher played in the development and
after life of the child.
Capt. Bryant was elected temporary
chairman. On the motion of DIR. Smith
the ladies present were organized into
a committee to complete the organza-
ton. Mrs. Barrett was elected chair
man of this committee on organiza-
ton. Another meeting will be called
in the near future.
Refreshments were served at the con-
clusion of the meeting.

RIGGING WATER.

Two strange men, courteous 10 their
demeanor, knocked at the door OF a
residence on Prince street last night
and when the man OF the house APP
peared he was surprised TO hear them
ask for drink OF water, as he ex-
pected they wanted food or money. He
brought them about quart of water IN
4 vessel which they drank, and upon
being asked if they wanted more re-
piled in the affirmative. Another quart
of aqua Cameron vas brought which
the strangers drank. The men stated
that they we're on their way to Rich
mond and that their thirst had become
so great that they were forced to beg
water. The above is an object lesson
and a forcible argument in favor OF a
public drinking fountain.

VIRGINIA BEATS GEORGETOWN.

Many Alexandrians went to Wash
ington yesterday and had the pleasure
of witnessing the University of Virginia
defeat Georgetown by score OF to g.
1t was only by sticking everlastlngly
to it that Virginia carried off the
laurels. Georgetown scored all OF Its
three runs in its half Of the first inning,
giving it lead OF that margin, but the
Orange and Blue kept pegglns away
and finally sent the winning tally across
in the eighth.
Until Hunts hard smash was
gathered in by sborIstop Douglas, who
hurled the ball to Carter at first for the
final putout, the result was in doubt.
Two wearers of the Blue and Gray were
hugging the sacks at the time, and all
that was needed TO change defeat into
victory was one measly bingle.
Hunt made gallant effort TO drive
the ball into safe territory, and he we'll
nigh succeeded, but by a grand try,
Douglas intercepted its course, and on
a throw that had to be,true, nailed the
speedy runner at the initial corner.
1t was an exciting finish, and had
the adherents Of the Blue and Gray
standing on the tiptoes and holding their
breath during the time Hunt stood at
the plate and while Douglas and Carter
we're blasting their hopes.
It was hard game for Georgetown
IN lose and a great one for Virginia to
win, after its uphill fight. Errors play
ed prominent part in the proceedings,
both teams protiting by miscues. But,
despite the bad playing, it furnished
more thrills than any game fought at
Georgetown this season.

ALARMS OF FIRE.

While a high soulherly wind was
raging between five and six o'clock
Yesterday evening a can Of coal oil be-
came ignited in the rear portion OF

time caused excitement and anxiety.
The can was quickly carried from the
store to the alley and after some diff
Guilty the flames were eXtlngu'shed.
The alarm Of fire at an early hour
this morning was caused by a burning
chimney on south Washington street.
