ANOTHER OLD
LANDMARK GONE.

The destruction by fire last night OF
Aitcheson Bros planning mill, on the
west side of Union street, near Duke,
brings to mind "reminiscences of build
ings which have stood on that SITE
since Alexandria came to birth.
This structure had narrow escape
from destruction in June, 1897, when
a number of buildings in that vicinity:
including the Pioneer Mills, were
burned, The fire on that occasion
originated in the Bryant fertilizer
factory.
About one hundred years ago, when
most of the business of Alexandria
was conducted on Union street anG
the Strand, the building which stood
on the site occupied by the planning
mill was used as hotel, or, more
properly, a sailors boarding house.
with bar room attached. In those
days there were several similar houses
in that immediate neighborhood. Fol
lowing the English fashion, when few
persons could read, such places were
designated by paintings of animals
OF birds upon the doors or windows.
One was on the river front between
Duke and Wolfe streets about sixty
years ago.
During the first third of the nine
teenth century the yellow fever ap-
peared in Alexandria and a number Of
deaths occurred in the public house
which was conducted in the building
on the site of the Aitcheson mill.
Some Washingtonians came here one
night and set fire to the building and
it was totally destroyed. 1t was sub
sequently rebuilt, but was not after
wards used as public house, but was
known for years as Monroe's cooper
shop. About the time the civil war
was breaking out it was used by the
late Stephen Shinn as a commission
house. The Aitcheson's had occu-
pied the building for many years.

A bad back makes you gloomy.
Can't be happy with continual
backache.
The aches and pains of a bad back
Are frequently due to weak kid

Doan's Kidney Pills are recon-
mcnded for weak kidneys.
So Alexandria citizens testify.
William L. Nails, 534 S. Patrick
st. Alexandria, says: "My back
ached all the time and the pains
through my loins were so severe that
I thought they would kill me: My
kidneys were congested and the kid
ney secretions caused me much an
noyance. Nothing did me any good
until l got Doan's Kidney Pills at c.

bringing it into a state which would
equalize taxation and prove satisfac-
tory to all.
AS will be seen by dispatch from
Richmond on the first page Of the
Gazette, merchants in that city are
up in arms against the present taz
laws, state and local, and it is assert.
ed that if something is not done
on lines of immediate relief capital
will be driven from the state.
The meeting in Fredericksburg, IS
significant, and what the Gazette has
feared for some time is crystalizing
into a movement to bring our pres
emit tax laws into politics. The cloud
which has appeared in Fredericksburg
may be as mans hand now, but
who can tell how far it is to spread?
Politicians are ever on the lookout for
hobbies, and the objections to present
tax laws and the inquisitorial pro-
cedures now in progress throughout
the state has incensed many persons.
Some have been justly exasperated
and those engaged in revising assess
ments have been forced to strike out
what they have supposed to be I'M.
listed intangibles. Sensitive tax-pay-
ers, finding that their oaths were be-
ing questioned, have naturally shown
their resentment.
Instances in the past history Of
Virginia show the seriousness of any
party in power affording ho>oy or
issue for that in the minority. what
has happened in the past, is likely
to happen again. Would-be represen-
tatives of the people at this time
would exploit for all it is worth, plat
forms to bring about new regime
in the way of taxation.

That the motive for the murder OF
William R. Hamilton was not robbery
but jealousy, with woman figuring in
the case, is the opinion expressed by
Coroner ". H. Taylor, of Richmond.
"The fearful fcrocity displayed by
the person or persons, who killed this
man does not coincide exactly with a
robbery theory" the coroner says,
jealous persons usually kill the o.
jects of their rage in some such man
ner as Hamilton was slain.
