PASSING OF SALOONS.
Prominent Resorts of Bygone Days
Exist Only As Memories.

Shrine Of the mighty. can IL be
That this is all left Of thee.
The auction sale of the household
and other effects in the building on
upper King street occupied for many
years by the late Sefer Blouse (or
Blaus) brings to a close the business
of place which has figured more or
less in the history of Alexandria dur
ing the past two score years. Blouse
came to this city May "a, 1861, with
the New York Fire Zouaves, and at
the close of the civil war purchased
the property upon which the present
building now stands. He conducted
saloon there until his death in
1897. His widow, Mrs. Hannah Blouse,
closed the bar and opened store for
the sale of miscellaneous articles and
lunches. She is now in the advanced
evening of life and has concluded to
retire from business and enter the
Alexandria Hospital. During the lat
ter part of the sixties Sefer Blouse
had been charged with conducting
business on Sunday and had been fined
in the Police Court. One of Blouse'S
friends, who was member of the
City Council, endeaveored to get a
resolution through to reimburse
Blouse, as it was believed by some
that the evidence against him was
not conclusive. The matter hung in
the lower board for a long time, and
was the main issue discussed until the
community finally became indignant
and demanded that more important
subjects be considered by the peoples
representatives. The late David Tur-
ner. who was a councilman from the
Second ward, on one occasion made a
two column speech on the Blouse case
and had it published.
The building on the southeast cor
ner of Princess and Fairfax streets in
which the late Dan Henry conducted
saloon for many years, is now an
ice cream saloon, presided over by a
young woman. In by-gone years box
ing exhibitions were given in this
place.
1t has often been suggested that
saloons have their day. Sixty years
ago the most frequented resort was
near the northwest corner of Cameron
and Royal streets. Like many others,
it waxed and waned. At the close Of
the civil war the most generally pat
ronized public house was on the south
side of Prince street, near Pitt.

Former Resident of Alexandria Dies
Suddenly, Yesterday, in
Charleston, S. G.

Brigadier General George Gordon

Charleston, S. c., yesterday.
The deceased was native of Boston
and held at times many important
posts adjacent to New York City, and
for many years in command of the
Washington Barracks, also of the
posts adjacent to Ne woYrk city, and
was the moving spirit in all the i'm
provements that were started during
his stay there and which were later
perfected.

at Fort Moultrie, S. c., until his re-
u. snent two years ago. He spent

said they would get 26 from Pennsyl-
vania, six from North Carolina, SIX
from Virginia, six from Tennessee and
two from Utah, and would have the
necessary votes to nominate on the
third roll call. They look for New
York to give him ninety votes on this
ballot
The Wilson bureau claimed that the
New Jersey governor would win on
the fourth or fifth ballot. They said
number of delegates who voted for
Clark on the first ballot would desert
him the moment they discovered the
so-called Wall street combination
swinging to him and that the desert
ers would more than outnumber those
who would go to Clark by reason OF
the Murphy, Sullivan, Taggart in
huence. The Wilson men said they
would get New York's ninety votes,
probably on the fourth ballot.
Harmon headquarters were making
no claims, except that they expected
New York's ninety votes 20 stay with
the governor for several more bal
lots.
Harvey C. CARRIER, national commit
teeman from Ohio, showed a list OF
80 Clark delegates who, he claimed
would jump to other candidates If
there should develop a situation
whereby the votes of New York
would give Clark the nomination.
Underwood managers claimed that
their man would hold his present
strength and develop more as the bal,
lotting continued.
Travelling by special train, two
hundred members of the Bryan league
of Allegheny county arrived from
Pittsburg this afternoon. They have
band and several thousand Bryan
buttons, and they propose to turr
loose a Bryan stampede before mid
night, according to c. R. Buckheit
their spokesman.

BRYAN MAKES
PREDICT lions.
Money Trust Resolution, He Says, is
Distinct Line of Demar-
cation
THE WALL STREET TRIO
CommOner Says There Must Be No
Halfway Compromise With Messrs.
Belmont, Ryan and Morgan.

Baltimore, June 2S.-Still smiling
over his victory of last night Col.
Bryan today predicted that the eff
feet of his money trust" resolution
"means establishment of a distinct
line of demarkation, with the interests
on one side and the people on the 9TH
er."
After the convention voted last
night to pass the resolution which |
offered regarding the privilege hunt
ing class" he continued, "any dele
gates who nominate man aligned
with either Belmont, Ryan or Nor
gan, or any other Of their group, will
not dare to go home and face their con
stituents if they live west OF the AL
leghaney mountains.
"The effect of the resolution can
harG.,' be estimated now. Wait Tor
week until it has had time to settle
in the minds and to be mentally di-
pested as to it's inner-most meaning.
It will then be found to have mad a
distinct alignment.
Delegates must go on one side or
the other There can be no comprom-
Use. There can be no halfway maneu-
vering. | believe that the resolution
will show the people where their rep
resentatives stand and place the res
possibility where it belongs. | have
gone on record against the reaction
aries and the convention has placed
this on record. Now let the consti-
tuency see for itself"

REBEL. LEADER KILLED.
Report of Death of Estenoz, Cuban
Insurrecto, Confirmed.

Havana, June 28.-Confirmation or
the reported killing by federal soldiers
of Gen. Estenoz, the negro rebel lead
er. was received today from Santiago.
Gen. Monteaguado, the government
leader, notified President Gomez that
it was reported to him that Major
Consueero had the body Of Estenoz at
Soneo and that a special train had
been dispatched for it. Gen. lVonet,
right hand man of Estenoz, has been
working independently Of his assocl-
ates, it is said, and the death of Is
tenoz has left his followers without
a leader. Their surrender or disperS-
al today was hourly expected, as gov
ernment officials were confident that
the backbone of the insurrection was
broken.
Santiago, Cuba, June 2S.-The body
of Gen. Estenoz, killed in battle yes
terday, was brought into Santiago on
q SDGCldl LEdlll dl - q. iii' SONNy N''N
positively identified as that OF the
rebel leader.
Estenoz was killed yesterday noon
in battle with federal rurales at
Micara, near Mayari, in which 1870
of his followers also perished. The
ruraes were unable to identify the
slain leader of the rebels, although
they believed him to be Estenoz, and
telegraphed as much to the govern
ment at Havana.
But in order to settle the Identity
Immediately and without question,
special train was made up here yes
terday afternoon and hurried to May
ari. The train with the body aboard
reached here early today, and lden-
tification was made at the station by
a number of Santiago citizens who
knew the rebel leader personally.

tiful country wedding, when Miss Ell

Augustus Wedderburn, son of A. D.
Wedderburn, by the Rev. DR.. Fltz-
patrick. The church was beautifully

with most beautiful rosebuds in the
shape of the beautiful girls OF Prince

gowned in white silk and was attend
ed by one of her sisters, as matron
of honor; and by four attendants. The

TAFTS CLOSE CALL.

Washington, June 27.-With the re-
turn to Washington of many of the
Republican leaders who aided in the
denomination of President Taft, he
learned for the first time that there
were minutes during the Chicago con-
yention when the nomination hung by
a thread.
Colonel Roosevelt, according to one
leader, had the opportunity within
his grasp to stand aside, throw his
strength to a compromise candidate
and see both himself and President
Taft eliminated from the contest. The
President told callers today that to
Mr.. Roosevelt he owed his nomination
in 1908 and to Mr.. Roosevelt more
than any other man he owed his re-
nomination last Saturday night.
Although some of the Taft leaders
profess that there was never any dan'
ger of defections in the ranks, others
are known to have openly talked Of
compromise candidate and to have
made advances to some of the adher
ents of Col. Roosevelt.
According to the reports brought
back to Washington, these offers wen
to Mr.. Roosevelt and they were turn
ed down. He would not listen to tall
of a third man, and the Taft leader:
seeing no opportunity to "get togeth
er." went ahead and nominated th'
President.

SLEEPY-EYED CROWD LEAVES
Enthusiasm Spent AS Tagged Out
Delegates and Spectators Leave the
Armory Building at Early Morn.

Fifth Regiment -rmory, Baltimore,
June 28.-A wearJ wilderness of
chairs, a floor buried inches deep in q
heterogeneous rubbish of chewed ci-
gars, bits Of paper, remnants of lunch,
beer and pop bottles and frayed BAN
ners, an air fetid with humidity and
the smell of sweat, and a few defect
ed employees listlessly striving to
clean up--this was today's view of
the National Democratic convention
hall.
1t was not until early noon that any
attempt was made to clear away the
debris for the four o'clock session.
Though most of the day sickly fear
full sun strove in vain to Tighten the
gloom. Outside, it rained in fits and
starts.
Ten minutes after Chairman James
gaviel had declared a recess, there
wasn't a delegate, or alternate, or
visitor left in the vast building.
Sleepy-eyed, the crowd had revived
hurriedly to scurry out of the struct-
ure. There was no enthusiasm at all
left.
Probably never before in national
democratic convention have such
scenes been enacted as those of last
night. The frenzy Of enthusiasm was
UNPARALLELED. 1t left strong men
weak from exhaustion. When the
garish light of dawn viewed with ell
ectric lights it revealed a sweet-De-
erimed crowd of men, flung istlessly
into their hard bcttomed chairs, their
aching limbs stretched out to half re-
cYmbent attitudes. Scores slept peace
fully despite i constant din of hoarse
comment flung at persistent speakers
or Chairman James vigorous pound
ING. A number of delegations some
to a man but not one had voice
left After cheering for Champ
Clark earlier in the night, left them
almost speechless with queer choking
utterances.

GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS
President Will Assume Responsibility
for Keeping Departments
Running.

Washington, June 28.-After many
conferences with law officers of vari-
Gus departments were held today, it
seemed probable that before night
President Taft would issue state
ment assuming full responsibility for
keeping all departments and braches
of the government running Monday,
in spite of the fact that the present
appropriations expire Sunday at mid
night and no provision has been made
for the payment of government en-
ployes after that.

MITCHELL NOT SENTENCED.

Washington, June 28.-No sentence
for contempt was imposed by Justice
Wright on John Mitchell today be-

was doubtful of his authority to i'm
pose sentence in the absence of the
defendant. He said he would give
Mitchell reasonable time TO, appear
in Washington and unless he COM
piled he would be brought here by
court process.
