ALvA AER|E's NEW HOME.
Well Known Hosiery on Roya
Street, Near King, Acquired
by Order.

AS was stated in the Gazette yes
terday, Alva Aerie, Fraternal oraer
of Eagles, have purchased from Mrs.
Virginia Stewart, the building now
used by Carl Fleischmann, ant the or
der will in the furture make their
home there.
The sale was made to the trustees
of that order by j. D. Normoyle, real
estate dealer, for Mrs. Virginia Stew
art, of Washington, and deed for the
same was placed on record yesterday
afternoon in the Office of the clerk OF
the Corporation Court.
The Eagles will, it is understood,
eventually make this place their home,
although it may be some time to come
as vet. Mr.. Fleischmann will con-
tinue to operate the hotel, he having
lease on the property.
The Eagles will eventually remodel
that structure and convert it into a
home. This organization now uses
rented hall for its lodge meetings, and
it is said to be the policy of all .Aeries
throughout the country to own their
own homes.
The building is on a historical land
mark. Many years ago the late James
Green conducted the cabinet-maklng
business in a building on the spot
which was almost obliterated when
the present structure was erected
It was here that the greatest hre
ever witnessed in Alexandria started
over three-uuarters of century age
and cut a swath through the city
to the river. A cold northwesteriy
gale was prevailing at the time, and
the hand engines and bucket brigadcs
were powerless. The mahogany cotfr
inside the sarcophagus which at pre-
sent contains the remains of George
Washington was made at this place
For years previous to the war Smltf
Brothers published the Virginia Sen
tinel in the building then standing or
this spot.
Upon the outbreak of the conflict
the Smiths went south and their build
ing and printing office was used by
Bowie, Dowell & Mckinney in the pup
LEGATION of a paper known as the Dan!
Virginia Chronicle. In 1862 the lat'
David Turner occupied the building
and published the Alexandria News
This was succeeded by the Virginl;
State Journal, and later by semi
weekly paper called The Common
wealth. It was also the barracks o.
Illinois cavalrymcn at one time during
the War. 1t was later used as a lo'
printing office by Mcssrs. J. NJ. Hi
and George Z. Markell.
About a quarter of century ag'
Mrs. Stewart, who had purchased tn
propcrty, erected the present hand
some structre and it was for time
used by her as boarding house |
was subsequently leased by MI
! Flcischmann for hotel purposes.

HOW WEAK WOMEN
May Be Made Strong at Small
Expense and No Risk

Expense dIlu mo RlSk
There are hundreds of women in
this vicinity, weak, thin, rundown,
tired out and nervous. Such women
need Vinol just as much as did Mis-.
Jane Pepper, Of 29O7 Howard street,
San Francisco, Cal, who says:
81 have used Vinol for some time
with particularly gratifying results. I
was run down, weak and debilitated,
and my appetite was gone. After TAX
ing several bottles of Vinol found
my condition greatly improved, and
do not hesitate to recommend Vinol
TO anyone similarly affected"
Vinol is not a secret nostrum, but
a delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil, which will create an ap-
petite, tone up the digestive organs,
make pure blood and create strength.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you.
