the Historic Masonic
Lodge Bible.
Special Correspondence of The Star.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, June ia
tourist vandal or vandals visited Alex
andria this afternoon and stole the
silver autograph plate from the door
of the pew of George Washington in
historic Christ P. E. Church. where
Washington was a worshiper, and
also stole a leaf from the old Bible
on the Masonic altar at the Masonic
Temple. highly priced for its age as
one of the relics Of that lodge. 1t is
generally believed that the same party
or parties committed both thefts.
The theft Of the leaf from the Bible
is thought to have taken place about
pm. and that at Christ Church about
o'clock. The Bible leaf theft was
discovered first

of Washington's signature. but was not
the original plate, placed thereon by
George Washington when he was
pewholder.
This plate Is the second one stolen.
The original plate was removed during
the civil war for safekeeping by Mrs
Robert c. Powell of this city. When
the federal troops occupied Alexandria
one of the officers objected to its re-
moval and the plate was returned to
the pew. A short time afterward 1t
was stolen.
The plate stolen today was placed on
the pew short time after the war by
the vestry of the church. Not until to-
day was any effort made to disturb it.
Parish Register Gone.
During the war among the valuable
articles stolen from the church was the
parish register, which contained a list of
the names Of those baptized, married,
confirmed and buried in the parish. All
efforts to trace the register have failed.
Rev. William J. Morton, rector of the
church, has hopes that the register may
be returned some day. Frequently he
receives requests for Information which

VOTING IN HAWAII.

Filipino and Hawaiin men are being
considered as int candidates for the
sovereign right of voting citizens of the
United States. Delegate Kalamazoo
introduced the Hawaii suffrage bill in
the House of Representatives Deem
Der 20, 1914.
Should these said inhabitants be IA
vored with the ballot. we may watch
with considerable interest how Filipino
and Hawaii men decide questions
affecting women OF the United States.
Southern women may not relish their
new political masters, and are surely
as capable of deciding political prob
lens for themselves as are these island
men of different race, and social en-
vironment.
American women are at least the
equals of the dusky men of Hawai- and
the Philippines, and worthy OF the
same political trust. To continue our
women as dlsenfrancbised in the gov
eminent is to stamp them as political
interiors to these new aspirants for the
vote in the Pacific waters.

MORE DOUBLE TRACK.
Southern Railway to SOend Million and
a Half in That Work.

The Southern Railway will proceed
at once to revise and double track the
2S7 miles of its Washington ma tlanta
line lying between orange and Char
lottesvllle, Va, the work to involve an
expenditure of 81, 500, 900 and to result
in greatly improved line both as to
grades and curvature. Bids for the
grading are being received from con-
tractors in the office of w. H. Wells,
chief engineer of construction, under
whose direction the work will be done.
The completion of this work together
with other work now under way will
give the Southern continuous stretch
of III miles of double track out of
Washington and total of 1887 miles
of double track between Washington
and Charlotte, leaving only Alb miles
of single track, divided into four
stretches the longest of which is 20
miles.
The revision between Orange and
Charlottesville will eliminate 1903 de-
grees of curvature of nearly four COM
plete circles and will give a maximum
grade northbound of 0.9 percent and
southbound of percent as against 1.41
percent in both directions at present.
The work to be done is very heavy
and will furnish labor for large num-
Der of men and cause heavy expendi-
lures in the territory Immediately
affected. In undertaking 1t at this
time when receipts from both freight
and passenger traffic are much below
normal, the Southern Railway Com
pany is giving striking evidence of
President Harrison's faith IN the bust
ness future of the South and his deter
mination to furnish adequate facilities,
the necessary capital fortunately hav-
ing been provided before the outbreak
of the present European war.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers unioA

Lecturer aTmeTS CHlOE
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer 1t Is education. Let US take
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at a few of the points
Of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress Of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live. but it
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch Of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
tons. The men who gave US the
sickle. the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds Of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time.
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught US lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work Of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.

Partment throughout the country for a

Grating force for public buildings" but
mat only $2.65O0O0 was appropriated. The
statement says in part:

In their judgment. reduced this estimate
TO 2.SOoo0o and the last named amount
was reported in the sundry civil bill ana

submitted to the Senate a communication
recommending that the amount be in
creased to $500. 900. presenting in COM
