THE SUNDAY LAW
rames Constantinople Fined Five
Dollars For Conducting Bust
ness Yesterday.

Among the cases in the Police
Court this morning was that OF
James Constantipople, who had been
cited to appear by Sergeant Wilkln-
son to answer the charge of keeping
his place of business open on Sun
day. The complaint had been made
by a neighbor.. Constantinople mas
several stores in Alexandria, and
that complaint of is on the south
side of King street, near columbus.
Il was shown that customers had OBJ
tanned certain articles yesterday.
Justice Cation fined the accused so.
There have been no cases OF Vio-
lation. of the Sunday law in the
Police Court since last June. On
one occasion during the month about
: seventy-fve people were summoned
to answer the charge OF violating
tho law. Only one was fined. The
accused took an appeal to the Cor

To All Democrats:

The undersigned were appointed by
the National Democratic Committee
as Auxiliary Finance Committee, for
the City of Alexandria, and have re-
ceived an urgent request that We call
upon all Democrats to help the cause.
Alexandria Democrats have thus
far done nothing.
We, therefore, call upon every
democrat in Alexandria and sur
rounding country to send US such
contribution as he or she can, wheth-
er large or small.
Send something, if only a few
cents, and show your interest. We
will thankfully receive any aid
whether 800 or 10 cents.
Remember that this is big coun-
try and that there are many close
and doubtful states; and the Nation
al Committee must have large means
to carry On successful fight.
The Republicans have large inter
ests that contribute to their over
flowing treasury.
The Democrats must depend upon
voluntary offerings, and mainly upon
a great number of small ones, to.
make up their necessitous treasury.
Send your contribution to any mem
ber of the Committee, and, whether
it be large or small please send at
once. 80;
Hits greatly needed.
