SPENDING MONEY AT HOME.

From time to time we have pub
lished editorials in the Gazette in
reference to this subject and feel that
we are in danger of making ourselves
tiresome by our insistance that the
residents of Alexandria adopt this
policy as the only one which will make
sure the upbuilding OF the city,
and the laying OF board and firm
foundations for our prosperity.
Residents Of Alexandria, the people
who make their money here day by
day, or who have accumulated a COM
potency here in Alexandria should
spend here every dollar possible.
Possibly the other side of the sub
ject has not received sufficient atten-
ton. The man who seeks employ
ment here, the man who offers to sell
goods to his fellow citizens OF Alexan-
dria should do his full part. The
worker should render prompt >anu
efficient service. The man employed
to paper your house should complete
the Job with promptness and IN a
workmanlike manner. He cannot
expect his customer to wait indefinitely
for the work to be begun, nor to be
satisfied with job which is not up to
the standard.
The merchants who cannot supply
the needs OF a customer need not eX,
pect that customer to buy. He will
go somewhere else. often to some other
city. 1t in incumbent on the mer-
chant to put forth strenuous efforts
to meet every demand OF intending
purchasers, so that these may have no
shadow OF excuse to purchase else
where thar in Alexandra.

ANOTHER MURDER SENSATION.

While the horrid details in connec'
ton with the murder of the young
vile OF Henry G. Beattie are still fresh
in the minds Of newspaper readers
throughout the country, a sensation
equally as great as that caused by that
cold blood murder has been sprung IN
Boston where a minister Of the gospel
has been taken in custody on suspicion
OF poisoning his afiiauced. The cir
cumstances in connection with the
death OF the unfortunate young woman
will be found in the telegraphic columns
of the Gazette. This bids fair to prove
as interesting as did the Chesterfield
county murder, and facts in connection
with it will be awaited with interest.
The young woman was to have been
the bride OF the minister, but her we'd
ding gown was used as her wind
ing sheet. The man OF the cloth
who is virtually charged with murder
lug the unsuspecting young woman
who had pledged him her heart and
hand has many things to explain III
connection with her untimely end. In
the meantime most people will sus-
pend judgment until the case snail
have been fully investigated.

VAN DE vYvER MoURNED.

The Virginia newspapers, with one
accord, express sorrow at the death OF
the good Catholic bishop, Van de
YyYer, of the Diocese of Richmond,
whose funeral took place this morning.
All OF them refer to his modest and
gentlemanly qualities. The Danvllle
Register gives the following estimate
of him, which is so true Of that formed
OF his character by newspaper men
here, who came in contact with him
officially, that we use it as if it were
our own.
"The bishop, Notwithstanding his
high position in his chulch, was not
ably modest, retiring gentleman, never
going before the public except when
required to dc go by his official duties.
He was. however, good, faithful, Ell
ficient shepherd OF his flock and did
much to advance the cause OF Catholl-
cism and Christianity. He was broad
in his views, genial, kindly, making
friends OF people of all classes and
creeds, man OF exceptional executive
ability and much quiet activity. He
deserved, won and held the respect and
affection OF both his superiors and SUBJ
ordinates in the church and of the gen
eral membership and was guided al
ways by the highest thought and motive.
He knew how to be in the world and
potent part of it, while not OF it. Un-
der bis guidance, care and stimulation
his church has made vast advances.
He never was church politician and
always was church politician and al
ways was church worker. AS church
man, bishop, citizen and gentleman be
will be sincerely mourned by the many
who had the honor of knowing him
personally and the MANY others who
knew him by his reputation and his
labors. Bishop Van de Vyver was so
we'll known in Alexandria that both
Catholics and Protestants sincerely re-
greet his demise.

-uNG0DrY SINGERS.

One OF the pastors in Norfolk gave ex-
preston to some views last Sunday
which if carried into effect 10 all the
churches might cause a considerable
slump i'll the fine singing that creates
such delightful feature of some OF the
church services. He is quoted as say
ing:
Singing is beautiful and necessary
part OF public worship. But all sing
ing should be done with the spirit and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the worship
is false and we take Gods name in
vain. Some sing merely to try their
voices and show their clothes. Imagine
such a singer. She rolls her eyes,
screams, squalls, bawls. shrieks, all for
show. Fancy such a soloist coming
from dance or card table singing:
Il love IN solitude to shed the Peni-
tential tear" or
In the Gross of Christ I glory" or
Ever since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been thy theme,
And shall be till | die
All ungodly singers should be dis
missed from our choirs. No matter
how fine the voices, worldly person
should not lead the singing"
Most people will agree that the
feminine warbler who rolls her eyes,
screams. squalls and bawls is essentially
an ungodly singer and worldly per-
son, if it is all Tor a show.
But we think that the class referred
to by the Norfolk preacher is in the
minority and that most members OF
church choirs ARE actuated by high
principles and throw their whole soul
into the part Of the work for which
they are fitted.

EQUAL SUFFRAGANS IN VIRGINIA.

The statement Of Governor Mann IN

that woman suffragists have already

manuish women who have unsexed

Governor Wilson in Dallas

Last Saturday was democratic
day at the Dallas Fair. Il was
the occasion Of the visit of Cover
nor Woodrow Wilson of New Jer-
sey, who is Just now the most
prominent candidate for the De
mOcratic nomination for president
of the Uunited States. There were
representative Democrats there
from all parts of Texas and the
Governor was everywhere greent-
ed with applause.
He spoke in the afternoon 10 an
immense audience and evidently
made a fine impression.
The great audience was called
to order by Chairman Robinson of
the Dallas Woodrow Wilson club
who introduced Governor Col
quit. The Texas Governor made
an appropriate short speech and
introduced Senator Culberson.
The rounds of applause when the
senior Senator appeared would
have done credit to any star spea-
ker. Senator Culberson is honored
by the people of Texas every
where lie made a splendid talk
introducing Governor Wilson The
governor spoke for two hours or
more and his speech takes up sew

pers. Every democrat should get

selves to understand what Dr.

for and we may do so by reading

circular was discussed and the ad
visibility of advancing the price
was discussed | told them that /

asked if ! ever made any money in
the ginning business. / told them
that always had TO compete with
oil mill gins and that they would
not let me make any.
When Mr.. Fuller was called, he
said he would do whatever the
balance of us did, he wanted har-
mOny.
As 10 the rumOr that when all
the gins got in the hands of the
oil mills they could do as they
pleased, | said that / am Just as

gospel he preached-history bears

statement is the truth, nothing but
the truth, so help me God.

LESS FIRE DANGER
IN FACTORIES NOW,
GASsER ASSERTS
Conditions Are Slowly Being
Improved Since High Street
Disaster.

Has there been any marked i'm
provement in factories and workshops
since the High street fire." was the
question asked today of c. A. Gasser,
superintendent of combustibles and fire
risks.
Yes, there has been a marked i'm
provement," was the reply. but snot
what there should be, as there are
still many places that are death-traps
equally as bad as the High street fac
tory. but we are gradually eliminating
them as quickly as we can.
The question was prompted by the
investigation that is going on in New
York by the legislative committee to
ascertain the conditions of the factories
in Greater New York.
Fire Chief Kenlon is reported as av-
ing said that there are AT least 200 or
800 buildings where the law is violated
and the lives of $4,000 people are con-
