OYSTER SEASON TO OPEN.
The Grab and Clam Season About
to be Superseded by the Luscious
Biyalye.

Friday next. September lst., will
usher in the oyster season, and pre-
parations have already been made tor
the fall and winter trade. The trade,
however, will not become active until
after the water becomes cooler. While
many bivalves have in late years been
brought to Alexandria aud Washington
in barrels on steamers, the great bulk
still come 10 sailing vessels.
The oyster trade Of Alexandria has
ever been one OF its principal industries,
although during past years it has not
shown to the advantage it did in ante
bellum days. In the olden time what
was known as the oyster docks were
situated between King and Prince
streets, and all the bivalves we're landed
on wharves designated for that purpoes.
They are now landed at different wharves
and by both steam and sailing vessels.
Oysters are sent from Alexandria to
dealers in all parts of the interior sec
ton OF Virginia. During freezes, when
the river is closed to sailing vessels,
many oysters arrive here in pals and
tubs already shucked.
The prospects for the trade this fall
and winter are said to be fair.

Cosmetics as Character Builder.
Cosmetics as an aid in character

tors who have an extensive practice
among society women. One Of those

little defect that can be hidden by
powder or paint should never hesitate
to employ the artificial method. cap
pearances," he explains, mean much
to u woman mentally and socially. A
girl who has some slight personal de-
feet, such as scar, a poor complexion
or bloodless lips, Is enormously handi-
capped. The knowledge Of her defect
and the thought others may observe it
make her shy and lacking in self con-
fidcnce. She shuns society and be-
comes morbid and miserable. l know

ruined because Of complexion troubles.
SO long as woman's makeup is not
so obvious as 10 be Objectionable her
means to an end are justifiable. She
does no one any harm and she does
herself u great deal of good. The
knowledge that her particular defect
is no longer visible to all beholderS
gives her Il contented mind, and that
has its inevitable result upon her char
acter and outlook on life"

GEIDEL,s CONFESSION.


Paal Geidel took the stand in his OWL
behalf in New York yesterday, anl
told the twelve men who are trying
him for his life how William 81. Jack,
son, the aged Wall street broker, came
to bis death in the Iroquois Hotel.
Much of the lads testimony was of an
unpriptable character.
After testifying that bis acquaintance
with Jackson bad been so friendly that
the broker had given him key to his
room Giedel related his visit to the
brokers' room on the night OF bis
death.
Il let myself into Mr.. Jackson s
ROOM with my key" be said. Mr..
Jackson said he was glad to see me.
He told me to make myself comforta-
ble.. We stayed in the sitting room
about an hour, aud then be went to
bed.
While I was sitting there he became
drowsy. / thought be was asleep, anc
I took his watch and chain and So, ant
his cuff buttons. Then he sat up, ant
said. You're thief and he grabbed
me-"
Giedel said that fight followed. HI
struck the broker two or three time
with his fist, and the aged man fell t
the floor, and lay still, apparently III
conscious. 1t was after this, accordin
to Geidel's story, that the boy went
the bathroom and saturated rag wit
chloroform, put it into the broker
mouth, and then left the hotel.
| Cross-examination failed to shake tn
boys story.

Chanoino the Hair Line.


So much has been said OF the Jolly
of changing the couture to suit each
passing style that the other side IS apt
to be overlooked. Hair can be worn
too continuously in one style, and If
woman Is not careful she may find
herself without any hair on the top OF
her head in the place where the hair
ought to grow.
The girl who thinks she looks pic
tures1ue with parted hair should &C.

dour unless she wants q broad path

SHOW. DAY. IS here.
Haag Shows Arrive in Alexandra at
an Early Hour TOday--TW0
Performances.

While most OF the city was slumber.
ing this morning the special trains
bringing the Haag shows to Alexan-
dria arrived at 4:30 o'clock and within
an hour their tented city had been
erected on north Alfred street. 70 was
marvellous to see the system with which
every thing was done although to the
ninitiated it looked az If there was
the most hopeless confusion. Boss
canvass men were giving out their
orders to a hundred or more huskies
while drivers and animal men we're
frantic in their endeayors to get their
loads on the grounds. The first tent
I'm was the cook tent and a hearty
breakfast was soon ready for all hands.
Ina few minutes other tents COM
menced to rise and soon the grounds
were in state of comparative peace.
At eleven O'Clock today the street
parade commenced and lasted about an
hour. The city was thronged with
strangers from the surrounding coun-
try who had come to visit the circus.
The display was an inspiring one aud
attracted large crowds on the street, all
of whom were most pleased. There
were gorgeous wagons, splendid charg-
ers in their glittering and glinting
harness; wild animals OF many kinds
and ages and descriptions, some OF
them strange looking to even the old
timers who have watched circus oarades
for years. There were the camels, the
elephants, the tigers and lions, the
mysterious closed cages that we're SO
awfully attractive to the boys mind
and out OF which there came strange
unearthly noises, suggestive Of the
dark and inpenetable gloom of forests
where trees grow thick; where the
SUMS light penetrated but in the small
est ray, md where there we're pools OF
sluggish water, weighted own with
ponds and fronds and in which awful
creatures moved With stealtLy glide and
deathly intent.
There was performance this after
noon at which a large crowd was pres
emit and this evening another exhibition
will be given. The circus is said to be
one OF the best sggregations travelling
in the south. It's owner, Ernest Haag,
is banker OF Shreveport, La, and in

Wllady's
Mirror
Hot Mater a. a Tonic.

Drinking a cup Of hot water Is
more efIicacious treatment for many
ills than some persons realize. There
are physicians who prescribe 1t for In
active livers, glassful to be taken as
soon as one wakes in the morning. The
warmth as well as the liquid are bene-
fetal. for it is well known fact that
few persons drink as much water
through the day as they should.
That the dose affects the complexion
favorably there is no doubt Some per-
SONS add the juice of half lemon to
the wafer There is no doubt that for
certain systems this is beneficial, but
il is matter that a physician should
dc itlr in individual instances.
Many a case Of simple indigestion
may be cured by drinking a cup of
he; water, the dose to be taken as
soon as there is-any sense Of discom-
fort. Adding half teaspoonful Of bi-
carbonate Of soda is recommended by
some pIy SlCIdllS huSlC lhSlG ID piS
nounced ncidity Of the stomach, the
soda acting as neutralizer, while the
warm liquid carries the matter from
the stomach.
Persons who are dieting for reduc-
ton find hot water more thirst quench-
Ing than cold. and they therefore can
get along comfortably with a smaller
quantity. That water taken with food
is fattening there is no doubt.
Hot water is an excellent substitute
for tea for persons made nervous by
the beverage and on certain occasions
may be used as food substitute.
If for any reason there is a desire
to get along with the least quantity OF
food and the stomach becomes empty,
hot water is soothing and fills the void,
so that for a time O feeling of faint
ness is obviated.
1t is in no way food, however, and
should not be regarded as such.

Grace Without Petticoats,

Are you petticoatless woman? And
If you have discarded your underskirts
have you learned to go without them
gracefully" said the beauty lecturer
TO her audience. The advice would
give to the unpetticoated, to the WON
an who wears skirt SO snug and
clinging that she must adopt some
other style of underwear than the old
time petlicoats, is this:
Look at your shoes. Your sk1r1
may not be cut off at your boot tops
but 1t Is certain that they will show.
"Have your ankles trim. Wear but
toned boots and set the buttons over
until they absolutely pinch your ankles
Don't wear shabby shoes. Your
feet simply must look nice.
Wear thin stockings, the gauziel
the better; under them wear flesh col
ored silk hose.
"If you go without petticoats your
feet will show all the time, because
your skirt sinks in. So learn to tot
out. Don't be pigeontoed."

SEVERE STORMS SOUTH.
Five Persons KiIled---Thrilling Elk
periences RepOrted---Serious
Loss to Shipping.

As the result Of freak storm which
struck Charlestown, S. c., and Savan-
nah Sunday night, and which reached
hurricane proportions, Charlestown
virtually has been isolated for "a
hours. Five persons are known to
have been killed and property losses, it
is estimated, will reach 81 900, 600.
The storm reached the proportions
OF a gale about l O'Clock Sunday after
noon, the barometer falling steadily all
day. The wind velocity increased
from 4S miles an hour at l :25 p. M, to
"a miles at 1920 p. M, when the
wind gauge was put out OF adjustment
The waters have caused washouts on
the approaches to the Union Station,
preventing the operation OF trains.
Alonzo Coburn, an engineer on the
the charleston division of the Southern
railway, was instantly killed by flying
timbers. A Mr.. Smith, of Columbia,
and Motorman Cutter, of the street
Railway system, we're killed, and L. D
Klintworthy. of st. Stephens, and E.
B. Hill were seriously injured when
trestle collapsed. Two unidentified
women we're drowned when their home
was flooded and several negroes are
reported among the storm victims.
Great damage is feared for the rice
and Sea Island cotton industries by the
rise Of the tide. Not since the cyclone
of 1885 has the water front here suf-
fered so severely. Anxiety felt for the
safety OF the people marooned ON Sullj-
vans Island was relieved early in the
afternoon by the arrival of a steamer
from the island, with load OF excur-
sonists and residents.
Narrowing experiences were told by
some of the passengers. When the
Storm reached its highest the island was
completely inundated, and houses we're
flooded. Splendid rescue work was
done by the soldiers from Fort Moul-
trie, the unfortunates being cared for at
the government reservation.
Eight of ten schooners and small
steamers we're either sunk or damaged.
