Man has brought many inv :ntions

THE GUNSTON HALL RETURNS.

The steel steamship Gmston Hall,
recently launched at the plant OF the
Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation,
returned to its pier early last night
after trial trip which began Satur-
day. The new steamer wendell IT'S
way down the Potomac and r:n as
far up Chesapeake Bay as Annapo-
lis. The Gunston Hall appeared
eff the Maryland capital as did the
Great Eastern in 1859. An excur-
sion steamer carried AleXandrians
to Annapolis on that occasion to
view and inspect what was al that
time marine wonder. Several of
Our citizens, now in advanced life
were among those who enjoyed that
excursion.
While the Gunston Hall attracted
but little attention in upper Chesa>
peake Bay where many ocean steam
,ers are passing and repassing daily,
she was Of more interest to Alexan-
drians Of the present day than was
the Great Eastern in the days Of old,
as she bears upon the stern the fol-
lowing: Gunston Hall, Alexandria.
Va" These words are also display
ed upon the Betsy Bell, which was
consigned to its elements few days
AGO. Twelve large steel freight
steamers will eventually sail with
the same words upon them.
Back in the dim past many ocean
going sailing vessels hailed from
Alexandria. But about the tlm2 the
civil war broke out there was but
one which hailed from this port.
This was the brig Lem, when 9i2a
between Alexandria and West Indian
ports. She was commanded by the
late Captain Thomas Travers.
There was squirt in our ship
building industry in 1876 which last
ed until 1889, during which period
several large sea-going schooners
were constructed at this port. They
Llso hailed from Alexandria. All Of
this feet met disaster after few
years service, and from that period
until recently no vessel upon the At
lartic hailed from this port.
1t is Il source of great satisfaction
to all Alcxandrians now living to
realize that large modern steel ships
have "of Alexandria" painted upon
the stern.

HIS APPEAL TO FOREIGNERS

The Chief Bugonaster Of Berlin
wishes foreigners to recognize its
advantages as a pleasure resort and
hasten theer to- spend their money.
He is pleased to announce that the
German capital has, suffered very
little from those "accidents of war
that damaged other cities Of Eli
rcre, and that for the entertainment
eff visitors It vii seen present its old
smiling face.
Strangers seeking the lighter side
of life will be subjected in Paris to
the sight of churches, hospitals and
dwellings that were struck by shells
fred by the Teutons' big guns. In
London they will constantly be re-
minded how the Zeppelins' bombs
killed hundreds of men, women and
children. Only Berlin has escaped
untouched, by war. as its Chief Bur-
gomaster proudly boasts. It's charms
remain undinlinished.
Can the outside world resist the
temptation to share with the inhab'
itants of Berlin the delights of Their
city,?
The only question is whether, il

Behave toward your purse as you

labor is permitting it because labor
cannot help it. The mills are not being
operated at sufficient profit, or,
may be, at no profit at all. Labor can
not get law passed to force them to

measure cannot be lawful.
There is an over supply Of labor in
