of brown velvet. While quite dressy

mental as we'll as funny, and, like
hose predecessors in the royal line
of comedy. her humor is always
wholesome.

Association for Highways Improve
ment, at the Jefferson Hotel auditors
um this morning.
He was presented at the conclusion
of President Pages address, and his
remarks carried the convention entire
~ off its feet, and he was frequently
interrupted by applause.
He said he would not attempt to
discuss the problems of road building
II am here solely on account OF my

"No country that have visited OF
read of compares with America In its
railroad achievements. Why, I doubt
if there is a single automatic cal

He cited other lines Of supremacy
of the United States and said that il

upon the highways in other countries
and thought of how far behind We

air." he said, yet talk is necessary
and these conferences are beneficial.
He said that the machine WOULD
not run without power-money.
What are you going to do about it;
Are you going to let the convicts o.
the penitentiary compete with homes,
labor or put them where they will dc

and continued:

pie Of Virginia that the contract OF

The congress applauded this state,
ment vociferously.
He said the national government
should appropriate money for THU
high purpose, and he ridiculed the
idea advanced that the constitution
OF the United States would not allow
of such appropriation.
He said that there was much more
need for money to develop the high.
ways than to improve the inland wa
tcrways.
luis provoked a storm OF applause
with hearty cheers. He said that the
for the army and nav!
would have to be pinchcd If there
were not enough money to go around.
He mentioned Governor Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey, and responsive
from the audience
were at once provoked.

Keverting TO the matter OF the ap

government should give s50.000,00t
per year for this purpose. If We
can give the navy 20O.000.000 i'll
year why cannot We have money fol

He pledged himself to work fol

THE ANNEXATION QUESTION.
Hoof's Run.

1t is being argued with an attempt
ed sincerity that to extend the cor
porate limits, would mean that the
city would be compelled to arch
Hooff's Run, converting it into a
trunk sewer, in order to carry off
the sewerage from Rosemont. In
reply to this, it is not necessary to
arch Hooff's Run in any event, as the
City Engineer has said that sewer
can be built independent Of Hooff' s
Run TO connect Rosemont with the
mouth of the Duke street trunk sewer
at an expense of from four to five
thousand dollars.
Again, we are told that if we do
not take in Rosemont the Washing
ton-Southern Railway Company will
arch Hooffs Run at its own expense,
in order to carry off the sewerage
from the Union Station. Our answer
TO this is, that if the Washington
Southern Railway Company is such
an easy mark, then it is far too good
a thing to let remain out of the city
any longer; We should take it in
and perchance it would be charitable
enough to build an entire sewerage
system for the city. We merely
mentioned the above to show some of
the puerile reasons that are being as
signed against extending the corpor-
ate limits. But seriously speaking,
Hooff's Run is one of the vital reasons
for annexation. 1t is at present an
open sewer, over which we have no
control or jurisdiction.
Lower Hooff's Run, upon which we
are dependant for an outlet to the
Duke street trunk sewer, and upon
which we have spent over fifty thous-
and dollars, is likewise outside of the
corporate limits, and we are in con-
slant danger of litigation with prop
erty holders, that might result in an
abandonment of this sewer, and. the
loss Of the money spent on it. In
short. Hooff's Run is one of the most
urgent reasons why we should eX-
tend the corporate limits, and do it
now
AS for the expense of four or five
thousand dollars necessary TO give
Rosemout adequate and sanitary
house sewerage facilities, this expense
under the law would be paid not by
the city of Alexandria, but out of
the taxes derived from the annexed
territory, the law providing that the
taxes for the first five years shall be
expended on permanent improvements
in the locality acquired. Estimating
the taxes upon the property 10 be an
neXcd at between fifteen and twenty
thousand dollars per annum, this
means that there will be expended
between seventy-fiye and one hundred
thousand dollars on this territory IN
the next five years in permanent I'M
proponents. This will be sufficient
10 give them sewers, streets, school
facilities aud fire protection, SO that
there is no danger that this property
will become burden upon the city.

Gen. S, r. Keesler, commander gen

is taking needed vacation from his
active business ilife in the mountains
OF North Carolina. Being unable to at
tend the encampment, which COM
mences at the rifle range near Vicks-
burg on July 6, he sent in his resiRna-
tion to Governor Noel, and Governor
Noel has appointed in his stead as COM
mander Of the national guard, Col. E. IL.
Woods, of Rosedale, formerly q captain
in the Spanish-American war, in the
Second Mississippi volunteer infantry.
Colonel Woods made fine record there
in that service, having proved by ex-
perience in Jacksonville, Fla, to be
the best provost officer in the Seventh
army corps. He understood military
regulation, complied with them through
himself and his company, and fairly and
impartially enforced military discipline
without respect to persons. He is at
present colonel on the governors stan,
and will be in command of the whole
national guard throughout and after
the encampment.
General Keesler made an excellent
major. general, and the governor, in ac-
cepting his resignation, highly compli-
mented the work he had done.-Jackson
