MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.

The survivors of the Alexandria
volunteers now members Of r. E. Lee
Camp of Confederate Veteran who left
this city to join their fortunes with
the late Southern Confcderacy on Fri
day, May "a, 1861, will gather this
afternoon at the intersection Of Prince
and Washington streets, where they
took their hurried departure and
where the Confederate Monument now
stands. The almond tree is flourish
ing with those of that historic band
now in the land Of the living, the locks
of this corporars guard having been
whitcncd with SHOWS of many winters
Looking upon our Alexandria veter-
ans, we can imagine the depleted
ranks of the Grccians who bore the
honor of having participated IN the
siege of Troy as the tooth of time
performed its work, or the survivors
of the ten thousand who followed
Ncnophon back to their own shores.
The services are always impressive,
and young and old alike gather yearly
to listen to the inspiring music and
the interesting orations which are de-
liycrcd on the occasion. Some OF the
most brilliant men in the state have
at times cnthused their audiences at
this spot. On this occasion Hon. Lew
is H Machen, former State Senator
from this district, will deliver the adj
dress. MIR. Machen needs no intro
duction hereabouts, and all who may
hear him this evening will feel that
it were good for them to have been
there. At the conclusion of the eNer-
cises the organization will march to
old Christ Church yard where mound
over the remains of soldiers who OF
fcrcd up their lives upon their coun-
trv's altar will be decorated with
flowers, after which a salute will be
fired. This annual custom of K. +.
Lee Camp is in every way impressive
and enjoyable, and it is generally
witnessed by both wcarerS Of the blue
and gray.

WAVE OF TROUBLE.

The world seems to be again IN
fermct. Political coalitions in the IN
tied States are causing anxiety, as II
i ;mnossiblc to tell what may take
place in this country before the snow
bcpins to fly. The contest between
aspirants for the presidency is more
spirited than in the days preceding the
war between the states, and unparal-
lclcd scenes are witnessed, the candl-
dates themselves entering the arena
and fighting each other savagely.
Another dark cloud is settling ovel
Great Britain where a colossal STRIKE
has been precipitated. The people Of
England had begun to breathe easier
rs the storm incident to the recent
miners strike gave way to more Sc
rene conditions. The CONFUSION lnt(
which the country has been cast our
ing the past forty-eight hours l!
causing much anxiety.

Ne Temerc decree against marriages
between Roman Catholics and Pro-
sestants performed by others than
priests of the Roman Catholic church
:arrying with it an attempt to in

the transfer is said to be now in pro-
cess of accomplishment. A commit
tee of two members OF the last Col
onial Churches Committee has recent
ly visited this at present, halt-ruin-
| ed church and have arranged to hold
an all-day service there, on the fifth
Sunday in June from which beginn-
ing, they hope to inaugurate regular
if infrequent services.
In several other counties the sites
of the Old Churches have been To-
Gated, notably Upper Piscataway
Church in Farnham Parish, Essex
county.
The committee also recommended
that the site of Old Pope's Creek
Church, Westmorland county where
Washington was baptised, be appro-
priately marked in accordance made
by Bishop Meade sixty years ago.
The next report made was that
of the historigrapher of the diocese.
He suggested that in connection with
his report that the site OF the hrst
Pohick Church be marked as in that
church, Washington, George Mason,
and Geo. William Fairfax worshiped
for several years.
Mr.. Peter Mayo stated that prop
er fire-proof room or rooms could be
obtained in Richmond for the safe
keeping of valuable records or books
of the diocese at a rent OF from
$4,000 to $4,000 per annum.
Other reports were given, one es-
pecially by the Rev. w. J. Morton.
on the committee for the Increase
of the Ministry. The contributions
to- the Educational Society were de-
creasing and the number of students
from the diocese of Virginia now at
the Seminary is only six, in remark
able contrast with the large number
of student in former years. The in
crease of a native clergy in the dl-
Geese of Virginia is STILL as in form
er years, and absolute necessity for
the diocese.
The Rev. Landon R. Mason, DID,
next had the important report on
the state of the church. He report
cd that diocese had formally held her
own, and for general missions had
given $4,000 more than last year.
A recommendation was made for
= chang in the method of raising
the contigent fund for carrying on
the expenses of the diocese.
The members of clergy, 1902 in all,
and of combinations, over 700, shows
that the diocese is in n growing con-
dition, and the development and
growths of the mountain missions
reveals how our church is caring for
the neglected and unchurchcd with
in the borders of the diocese. A
number of the important objects IN
connection with the life Of the do
cese were mentioned in the report.
The Rev. R. C. Cowling next read
the report on Clerical Relief. The
Council then took recess for luz

It is the duty of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for the
coming of her little one; to avoid as
far as possible the suffering of such
occasions, and endeavor to pass
through the crisis with her health
and strength unimpaired. This she
may do through the use of Mother s
Friend, remedy that has been so
long in use, and accomplished so
much good, that it is in no sense an
experiment, but a preparation which
always produces the best results. It
is for exernal application and so pen
Grating in its nature as to thoroughly
Intricate every muscle, nerve and ten
don involved during the period before
baby comes. Tt aids nature by ex-
banding the skin and tissues, relieves
tenderness and soreness, and perfectly
prepares the system for natural and
safe motherhood. Mothers Friend
has been used and endorsed by thou
sands of mothers, and its use will
prove a comfort and a benefit to any
woman in need of such a remedy

and this could be done by working
somewhat along the following lines:
'First-Create at once in or out of
the department Of commerce and Ia
Dor, a business court or controlling
commission composed largely of ex-
perienced business men.
"Second-Give this body power to
license corporations doing an interstate
or international busin ess.
"Third-Make such license depend
on the ability of a. corporation to COM
ply with conditions laid down by con-
gress when creating such commission
and with such regulatings as may be
prescribed by the commission itself.
"Fourth-Make publicity, both be-
fore and after license is issued, the es-
sentiaI feature of these rules and
regulations Require each company
to secure the approval of said commits
sion of all its affairs, from it's capital
izatiOn to its business practices. In
the beginning lay down only broad
principles, with a view to celebrating
and perfecting them as conditions re-
quire.
"Fifth-Make the violation of such
rules and regulations punishable by
the imprisonment of individuals rather
than by the revocation of the license
of the company, adopting in this re-
spect the method of procedure against
national banks in case of wrong do
ing"

officers here witnessed a private per-
Torrance yesterday given by a Swear
old boy whose ankles and wrists had
been broken when he was 10 days old

Greece.
Neof told the officers that he had
broken the wrists and ankles of his
son when he was 10 days old and a
month later began training the baby
for an athletic career. In his perform

les and wrists at will and caused them
to assume many unnatural positions

ANOTHER WAR SOON.
Prof. Frederick Starr Sees New Rus
sia-Jap Struggle.

Buffalo, N. z, Feb. Study of
conditions in the Orient has convinced
Prof. Frederick Starr of the Univer-
sity of Chicago that Korea will with
in the next few years be the battle
ground for two great wars, one be-
tween Russia and Japan, and the
other between Japan and China DR..
Starr, who has just returned from
the Far East, discussed the situation
there in a lecture before the Society
of Natural Science here last night He
justified the Japanese government for
breaking it's promise to maintain the
independence of Korea on the general
ground that Korea is necessary to
Japan for defensive purposes.
DR.. Starr declared that the Russian
government, filled with rage and hui
initiation over it's defeat by Japan, is
biding it's time and making prepara-
tions to give a better account of it
self in the next struggle. Japan, by
Selling Korea and developing and
terrifying the country, is making the
best possible preparation for the
struggle.

DEFEND BIG BUSINESS
Judge Grosscup and Geo. w. Perkins
Address Traffic Club.

New York, Feb. 3.-Former Judge
Peter S. Grosscup of Chicago and
George W. Perkins, the New York
financier, were speakers at the ban
quet of the Traffic club and at first
the 500 diners thought they also had
President Taft as a guest of honor.
In the midst of the dinner a man of
corpulent stature, bearing striking
resem blance to the chief executive,
was ushered into the grand ball room
of the Waldorf, accompanied by an
aide dressed in uniform, resembling
Major Archibald Butt. The toastmas-
ter announced the presidents" ar
rival and there YVES several minutes
cheering before the joke was real
lied.
Judge Grosscup and Mr. Perkins
both flayed the antitrust statute.
Laws so illegible should be no
part OF the Jurisprudence of a free
country" Judge Grosscup said. He
declared that the moving column of
national life was toward organized
cooperation in the place of brutal
individual fight and said he wanted
to see the debated column of ma
tfonal law brought up to where it
would support the moving column of
the nations life
Mr.. Perkins spoke in part as fol-
lows:
There is no logical connection"
said Mr. Perkins, between the evils
that have existed in our large indus
trial concerns and the remedies that
the government is trying to apply. In
place of regulation we are given segre-
cation and are told that dissolution
is the solution, while every practical
man knows that dissolution is a mere
delusiOn. Government regulation is
all right. but government repression
is all wrong.
Colossal NF;staI-a
Somebody in this country is max
ing a colossal mistake. Somebody is
woefuly wrong Is it the theoretical
politician or the practical business
man; would it be a mistake at least to
try to regulate before we strangulate ?
1T Is time that the business men of
this country awoke to what the theor-
lists of this country are trying to do.
Constructive program does not pre-
gent insurmountable difficulties. It's
solution would be comparatively easy
and prompt If we could have a little
more patriotism and a little less poll
tics. Congress could in very short
time adopt a policy that would give
both immediate and prospective relief.
