OLD CANNON is LOADED
After More Than a Century Ball is
Discovered in Gun to Be Used
in ID. A. r. Fountain.

Alter lapse or time amounting IN
all probability to nearly 175 years a
cannon ball has been found in the an
cient piece of warfare that will form
the central pillar of the fountain
which is to be erected in few days
by Mount Vernon Chapter, D. A. R.
at the intersection of Royal and Cam
eron streets.
Mrs. Mary Gregory Powell has re-
ceved a communication from j. G.
Caldwell & Co. of Philadelphia the
designers of the fountain in which
| they state that cannon ball had been
discovered in the cannon and that
while there was little probability of
any powder being left, or if so, in a
condition to explode, nevertheless, it
was deemed best to be on the safe
side and that therefore the ball was
being drilled out.
|, 1t had been expected that the foun-
tain would be dedicated on April 90,
but this and other unexpected delays
will probably cause postponement of
the event until about the 30th of the
month.
The cannon which is being used for
the fountain, picture Of which is
now in the window of the Alexandria
National Bank, is one of several that
were secured by the D. A. R. for his
torical purposes and to save them
from being taken by junk dealers.
The others are now in the church
yard of Christ Church. 1t has been
stated by experts from the War De-
partment in Washington that it is of
the type in use in the year 1850 and
it is generally supposed that the cam
non is one of number that were abb
andoned in Alexandria by General
Braddock. 1t is barely possible, how
ever. that it was used in 1912 at the
time the British sacked the city OF
Washington, a number of cannons
having been used in skirmlsh near
Alexandria at that time and later ab-
iandoned.
The cannons were secured from the
street corners in the oldest section OF
the city and from near the wharVes,
nermission to take them having been
piven the D. A. R. by the city council.
They were dug up about year ago
and the one used for the fountain was
sent to Philadelphia last December
The Founain will be erected by Mt.
Vernon Chapter for public use, lit
being adapted for men, horses, dogs,
and birds) and also as historic mem
orial. 1t will contain an inscription
which reads as follows:
Erected April, 1912.
by Mount Vernon Chapter
Dauphters of the American Revolut-
ion, to the memory of the Colo
nial and Revolutionary events
in the history Of the City
of Alexandria.
The ground and connections for the
fountain are now being prepared and
the stone work, which is being done
nv VIM. F. Chauncey is ready to be
placed in position. The stone is OF
MARYLAND granite, the base stone be-
ing six feet in diameter and the mater
ial. other than the cannon, will be OF
IU. S. bronze.

There are many conscientious
minister's, many good doctors ana
some bad ones; inscriptions law
yers and few good ones. Just so
with every profession. ] have ap-
peared before the London Psychic
Research Society. as well as the
Boston and Washington branches
Of the same, and endorsed by all
three.
My readings, which are thorough
and scientific, have nothing IN
common, whatever, with the fictl-
tious readings of illiterate, unre-
liable humbug "palmists, psychics,
astrologers and fortune tellers. etc
who. by their disgraceful conduct
drag my noble profession into the
mire for fortune telling and fraud.
A satisfactory reading can only be
had from one who has thoroughly
mastered the laws of these Won
derful sciences through years OF
critical study Of occultism.
Do you wish to learn the truth
concerning your business domes-
tic or love affairs? Are you unde-
cided, in doubt, unhappy or in
trouble? Is there any matter or
human interest that perplexes you?
Come to me and | will tell you just
exactly that which you wish to
know of and advise you as to the
ultimate outcome of your present
difficulties 50 far as it is in my
power to do / will assist you; my
knowledge of life is broad, deep
and profound and combined with
my marvellous clairvoyant power
and my superior knowledge of the
occult forces, enables me TO not
only read your life, past present
and future, but to also advise ana
assist you.
