MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.
R. E. Lee Camp Perfecting Plans Fcl
Celebration of the Occasion.

Saturday next will be the fifty-sec.
ond anniversary of the departure OF
Alexandria's quota of soldiers which
later formed part of the Army OF
Northern Virginia. Their ranks have
been greatly depleted by time, anc
those who survive are in the adj
vanced evening of life. They are
however, as proud of the part they
played as were members of Napo-
Icons Old Guard.
The exercises this year will be
similar TO those Of former occasions
There will be inspiring music at the
monument at the intersection or
Prince and Washington streets, and
Rev. John Lee Allison, D. D., pastor
of the Second Presbyterian Church,
will deliver the grafton.
Fifty-two years ago the United
States steamer, Pawnee, was lying
off the city between King and Cam
eron streets with her port hdles
open and the dogs of war exposed.
A terrible crisis in the history OF the
country was at hand, and transports
were following transports up the
river with troops for Washington.
Among the ocean-going ships which
passed Alexandria at that time was
the Quaker City, which figures in
Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad"

Fircrnen Suggest Time Has Come for
Is More Up.to date Fire fighting
Apparatus

During the past years the Board
of Fire Wardens have been convinced
/ that Alexandria should have more eff
fective fire apparatus, but as the city
hiss not been in condition to furn-
iish the same, no action has been
taken. Since the recent fire at the
Mount Vernon Stables the matter Of
procuring a modern truck has been
seriously considered by the fire COM
fmittee of the City Council, which
has superseded the Fire Wardens.
Robert E. Gronau, Chief Engineer
of the Fire Department, is convinced
that the city should purchase mod
ern truck as soon as possible, as the
use of such an apparatus might be
needed at any time.
| The volunteer fremen, as well as
the paid employees, are anxious for
the city to procure motor-dlrven hose
wagons for the two steam fire en-
CINE companies. Some have sug-
gested that the city purchase motor
driven engines in the place of those
now pulled to fires by horses. They
sa ythat the present apparatus could
he disposed of at prices which would
ionly incur an outlay on the pant OF
the city of about $4,000.
The fire committee have taken nc
action in the matter so far, nor viii
they until Council shall have dis,
posed of the proposition to build {
new truck house on the site of the
present Relief house.
