Coming Tomorrow.

The arrival of the senator tomorrow
will probably be signalized by an in
vitation to attend the chamber oi
commerce luncheon where it is eX-
pected many will take advantage to
meet him. Senator Brady, during his
brief time in the senate, has already
done much to facilitate work in con-
nection with matters affecting Idaho
and his trip thorugh the north at this
time is to become better acquainted
with conditions so that he may be
fortified when matters needing his at
tentiOn arise

DEATH STATISTICS
Gratifying Exhibits of the Rate Of
Mortality in Alexandra During
Past Year.

In the Gazette of Wednesday, the
1st instant, it was stated that the
deaths occurring in Alexandria dur
ing the calendar year 1912 numbered
29S, as compared with the year 1911,
when the number was 300, or II less.
This decrease is gratifying. inasmuch
az. it shows lower per capita.
In 1910 the number was 327, or a
per capita of 21.3. In 1911 the per
capita was 20 and in the past year
10.
The record is remarkable in the fact
that during the last six months Of
the years 1911 and 1912 the deaths oc-
curing numbered the same-l57-as
follows: the first numerals being for
the year 1911, the second for 1912:
July, 1929; August, 1926; Septem-
Der, 24.19; October. 1928; November
1918; December, 1927. So, Of course
the II deaths less in 1912, as compar-
ed with 1911, was during the first six
months. January-June or 1872 in 1911
and al in 1912
Another coincidence is that the
deaths in May in each year were The
same,or 90. Even in these sad It'd.
irgs Alexandria is still conservative.

TELEPHONE FRANCHISE.
Resolution Granting Permission to
String Wores Becomes Law With
out Mayors Signature.

Previous to the passage by the City
Council of the resolution authorizing
the Chesapeake and Potomac Te!e-
phone Company to place overhead cab
les in this city Mayor Fisher question
ed the wisdom of granting the fran
chise, not being satisfied in his mind
that the interests of the city were
properly safe-guarded. He, however,
stated that should the resolution pass
bo,.h boards of Council he would not
veto it, and would defer to the wisdom
of the respective members, but that he
would allow it to become law with
out his signature.
The resolution, therefore, has become
effective without the APPROVAL of the
executive. The Mayor has heretofore
given his reasons for hesitating in the
matter, and they are published Off
cially elsewhere in the Gazette.
