HANDSOME NEW BUILDING.

The several thousand policy-holders,
in Alexandria, OF the Life Insurance
Company of Virginia, will be interested
in the advertisement of that company
which appears in today's Gazette. 1t
contains an illustration of the company's
new building and full description of
its construction. The Life Insurance
Company of Virginia has always been
credit to the state and is not only the
largest life insurance company in Vir-
ginia but is also the largest, oldest and
strongest in the entire south. Its
gratifying progress during the past
forty years can be attributed to conser-
vative management and to liberal yet
cafe insurance policies.
The Alexandria branch Of the COM
pany was established 10 1889 and since
1898 has been IN charge OF John Nc
Cuen, assistant superintendent, at Ill
south Royal street. Mr.. McCuen has

ernable temper" and says she is no

while enraged. He asserts be has been
compelled to protect himself against
her, and more frequently required to
leave the room to save himself from
bodily harm" at her hands.

something and the mother told him
not to-. threatening to punish him if he

Mrs. Heisley is further accused OF
living beyond her husbands means.
The family resides on n street, be
tween Ninth and Tenth northwest,

receipt. and within twenty-four hours
you must appear before the captain

Little Boy Grizzly.

Enos A. Mills, writing Of his ad.
ventures with pet bear known as
Little Boy Grizzly, says: "He and
I had few foot races, and usually, in
order to give me a better chance, we
ran downhili. In a 200 yard dash he
usually paused three or four times and
waited for me to catch up, and I was
not slow biped either. The gEtzzly,
though apparently awkward AID lum-
berry, is one Of the most agile Of beasts.
I constantly marveled at Grizzly's
lightness of touch or the deftness Of
movement Of his forepaws. With but
one claw touching it he 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 be would without effort overturn
rocks that were heavier than himself"

CONSTITUTION GIVEN BIC MAJORITY.
More Than Seventy-fve Per Cent. of
 the Vote Cast for lt.

The election held Thursday throughout the territory for the ratification or rejection of the pro- posed constitution for the state of Arizona was carried in the affirma' tive by a majority vote of seventy or seventy-6ve per cent. Only one county, Apache, is reported to have returned a majority against it., the vote there being 188 for the constitution and 269 against it.
 In Nogales precinct less than half of the full vote was boiled. For the ratification of the constitu- tion there were cast 127 votes and for the rejection of it only 40. The precinct has voting strength of more than 370 and the light vote nolled was somewhat disappointing. Neither the opponents of the in- strument nor those who approved 1t made any concerted effort to get out the vote and to that fact may he attributed in part the poor showing made.
 At Patagonia there were 42 votes cast in favor of ratification and 12 against; Calabasas g for and 1 against; Duquesne, Il for rati6ca- tion and none for rejection; Tubac, the only precinct heard from to give a majority against ratification, cast 9 votes for it and 10 against. The several other precincts in the county have not been heard from.
 The returns from all the counties are not complete, there being many precincts yet to be heard from. but as nearly as can be ascertained,

The Railroad Situation.

Plans are in hand to promote the efficiency of the force and to put all trains over the road on regular schedule time.
 Seldom has such situation as confronted the management of the Southern Pacific of Mexico been met and arranged with so little interference with traffic. The en- tire force of locomotive engineers and firemen quit in body. Yet new men were found to take their places, but few trains were aban- doned, and now at the end of four weeks traffic is moving in a satis- factory manner; and soon every thing will be going as though nothing untoward had ever oc- cured.
