for rabbits, and hoping that

At least one rabbit has bitten the
dust, but it bit it alone and in
solitude Sunday, and the archer
who hit it couldn't prove a thing
in the monday court around the
open fire grill that reeked with
steaks.
LIE was Virgil Healy Of South

Mr.. Healy retrieved his arrow
and then started looking for the
rabbit but never was able to To-

the arrow, so it probably went
through the little rascal but it
had time to get somewhere to
die alone

gets more used to "arching."
A NYWAY, when all the archers
IA gathered at the stunning
new shelter house the State Con-

them at the entrance to the reser-

the chase that the gun-and- dog

To be an archer hunter, and be
serious about it. you must try to
find rabbits who haven't the
slightest notion you are away
from home at all, much less
around there.
An archer gets his best shot
when the rabbit is sitting. Even
with them still, a champion archer
can be no more than so per cent
deadly on a sitting rabbit at 20
to 40 yards When they are run
ming only luck can score for an
archer.
AS for birds, they are pretty
safe any time. because if they get
into the air an archer is apt lust
to waste an arrow. What archers
want is an open season on all

NXTASHINGTON, Nov. y. -
w Somebody told me the

had a machine that could think
So I went over and asked them,
and they said they weren't sure
about that. but they did have a
lot of people who couldn't think.

so we went rummaging around up
on the top floor till We found this

Not only one machine, but
whole room full of them, busy
thinking away and adding and
multiplying and figuring up inter-
est and mortgage dates all over
the place.
I couldn't exactly understand
the machines. but I did gather
that they aren't anything new,
that they've been in use, as
matter of fact for as years. and
that every other department in
the government, except the State
Department, has them.

TAXES TO CARE
FOR BUDGET
INCREASE
Assessed Valuations
to Meet Need, Says
Alexandria Mayor

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. 8.
Alexandria city'S proposed budget
for 1896, which carries an in
crease of $142,786 over that of
the current year, can be adopted
and carried through without an
increase in the city's tax rates,
it was stated by Mayor E. C..
Dawson today.
Following the second hearing
on the budget by the city coun-
Gil last night, the mayor asserted
that the normal increase of tax
alton in Alexandria would more
than take care of the increases
proposed in the tentative budget.
A public hearing on the new
budget was set for Friday, De
cember 20, in the corporation
court room at 7::30 p. m. Mayor
Dawson said last night, follow,
ing the announcement Of the
date for the public hearing,
that he hoped all interested citi-
zens would attend this meeting
SO that the increases proposed
could be explained. In support
of his contention that the in
creased volume of taxation here
would take care of the pro-
posed increased expenditures, he
pointed out.
A revenue of more than $3.50, ,780
is expected during 1886. The valu-
alton on real estate has risen
from $19,055,314 in 1884 to $19,-
400, 900 in 1885. Personal property
tax will be paid on $2.820, 900 this
year, as compared with $2,173,8S2
in 1884.
Salaries of several Of the city
officers were ordered increased in

NIGHT PARKING
BAN ORDERED
F0RWINTER
IS Miles of Streets
Affected BY Ruling
of D. G. Heads

Eighteen miles of city streets
were added by the District Com
miSsioners today to the list of
those already covered by a regula-
ton banning parking from 2 a. m.
until a. m. every night including
Sundays and legal holidays from
January l to March l. as a means
of facilitating snow removal.
All of the streets included in
last years ban are included in
this years regulations, in addi-
ton to the other highways. Last
year the ban extended over 55.6
miles while this year it has been
increased to 73.5 miles.
The action was taken on recon-
mendation of Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer. Although
Director Van Duzer, both this year
and last year. urged the city
heads to include Columbia Road
Northwest from Thirteenth Street
to Connecticut Avenue in the reg
ulations, they declined to do so
Along Connecticut Aven ue
Northwest. the ban was extended
from K Street to the District line.
Last year the ban ran only as
far as Albemarle Street, but the
extension was made because
buses have replaced street cars
Other streets on which the ban
was extended are: Wisconsin Ave
nue. from M Street to the District
line; Rhode Island Avenue from
Connecticut Avenue Northwest to
the District line: Tenth Street
from Constitution Ave
nue. to Rhode Island Avenue;
Twelfth Street from Water Street
Southwest to Rhode Island Avenue

from Thirteenth Street to Seven

Streets on which the parking
prohibition are being invoked for
the first time are: @ Street from

AIR CRASH LAID
TO HIGH WIND

Official blame for the crash Of
an Army observation plane which
took the lives of two fliers when
it wrecked at Boiling Field
Wednesday was laid today to high
winds.
This was determined after an
investigation by four officers OF

The victims, both veteran filters,
were Lieut.. Harry H. Goeffrey, %.
Of St. Paul, Mimi, and Major
George E. Rice, 81, Of Basin, Wyo.
Both were married.
The fliers had battled an icy
gale all the way from Mitchell
Field, N. Y, and had just reached
Boiling Field when a sudden gust
of wind hurled the plane into a
hillside.
Last rites for Lieutenant Geof-
frey. whose wife, the former
Frederick MertenS. of Washing
