JOB IN ALEXANDRIA
Host of Candidates for Two
Vacancies-Pay Is Sixty
Dollars a Month.
WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ALEXANDRIA, VA, JULY 6.

The position Of police officer, with its
attendant salary of $50 per month,
heretofore has not been thought alluring
to the average man, but since the an
nouncement was made last Friday OF
two vacancies on the Alexandria force
through the resignation of Officer Ar
rington and the dismissal of Officer
Kell, the rush of applicants for the
position would make 1t seem otherwise.
The board Of police commissioners
will meet in the city hall tomorrow
evening, at which time applicants are
required to present themselves for ex-
animation.

Washington, D. c.. July 15.--Last

wave July Is to 10. cool wave July Is
to g. During the passage Of this dis
turbance showers are expected to be
more frequent and more general than

go up rapidly but will not remain high
very long. Storm forces will increase
and near July 20 small spots are ex-
pected on central parts Of the sun. This
disturbance will include the most
stormy part of the month and these
storms will give relief to many drought
and heat sections where the last pre-
ceding cool wave shall have failed to
bring showers.
Next disturbance win reach Pacific
coast about July 20, cross Pacific slope

leys July 25 to 81, eastern sections July
%. Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about July %, great central valleys
July 25, eastern sections July q. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
July 26, great central valleys July %,
eastern sections July 30.
This disturbance will inaugurate an
other hot and dry period. another dead
calm, another sweltering heat period.
But not so bad as we have passed
through, and, having become used to
the intense heat OF the summer, per-
haps we shall not suffer much,
If general showers come TO the grain

prices will probably slide downward,

The Greek church ritual directs that
the ring be placed upon the right

Edwin A. Abbey.

Though long a resident of England.
Edwin A. Abbey has nevertheless been
regarded as an American artist whose
immense success does credit chiefly to
the country OF his birth and training.
Indeed. Mr.. Abbey long residence abroad
has been a fortunate circumstance, for
il has given to the world of art series
of paintings that have greatly enriched
it. His Shakespearean sketches and
studies inspired by direct communion
with the scenes depicted in the immortal
plays, have alone justified his continued
sojournins in Great Britain. II is, per-
haps. in one sense. unfortunate that
Abbey's taste led him to adopt English
themes rather than American, for il he
had applied to the illustration of Ameri-
can history the same mastery OF tech
niaue and command OF color which he
showed in his work abroad he would
have contributed a series of canvases
beyond comparison for their native
strength and significance. Yet there is a
universally about all that Abbey did
that appeals as strongly TO Americans as
to EngGshmen. His Quest of the Holy

Taxi Rates.

The Washington public will be glad to
know how Senator jeff Davis got a ride
to the White House in a taxicab from
any part of this city for the small sum
of % cents. He must have struck a
particularly easy mark in the chauffeur
If that was all it cost him on that cele-
brated occasion when he imperiled his
Arkansas prestige by riding in the con-
veyance Of plutocracy. 1t is not given TO
the average resident of this city TO ride
any where for as small sum as quar-
ter. Whereas in European capitals taxi
cabs are to be had for francs and slil-
lings for all ordinary riding, in Washing
ton they cost fully twice as much After
experience abroad nothing seems so ex-
tortionate as the cab rates that prevail In
this country. Possibly If Senator
Davis rode more often in taxicabs he
would find that they are indeed to be
classed among the luxuries not to be
lightly explained 10 his simplicity loving
constituents of Arkansas.
