From the Louisville Courter Journal. A young married man cf Louisville, who lived with his wife and two small boys in a suburban cottage during the summer, had a very interesting experience with razors not long ago. It was his habit to | shave himself while nis wife was prepar- ing breakfast, and, of course, he was not expected to know that she had two smal! stewpans just alike—what business have men to know anything about siewpaas, anyway? He walked out of the bed room, aw his customary little stewpan of hot Mater simmering on the hob, poured its steaming contents into his shaving mug, the: gone country | i in the fall, s fighting through had lost track of d both sides had t to wait and ght.

ANCH STORE IN WASHINGTON, THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1897-16 PAGES, ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS|(CONCRESSIONAT DIRECTORY. ae Democratic Candidates Fighting for the Nominati Local Netes of General interest to the Public and to Out~ alder. i Evening Star Bureau, No. 520 King street (Bell Telephore, No. 106), ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 9, 1897. Now that ell the democratic candidates have announced themselves, and the date of the primary election has been fixed for Wednesday, the 2ist instant, the political situation has grown more active, and all who are entitled to a vote, and many who are not, ore out “hustling” for their favorites. The fight which is arousing the most in- terest is that for the mayoralty. There are three candidates in the field, but the fight really seems to be between George L. Simpson and L. H. Thompson, the incum- bent. Mr. Simpscn is running as the peo- Fle’s candidate, who will have an honest government and administration of the laws without favor. Mr. L. H. Thompson, the incumbent, promises to do the best he can in the future, as he has since he was elect- ed oy the city council to fill an unexpired term nearly two years ago. It is a sig- nificant fact that nearly every policy man in Alexandria and the second and third- rate caloonkeepers are backing Thompson strongly. The general opinion is that Simpson will be the nominee by a large majority, but his friends say they will leave no stone unturned to make the victory a complete one and “‘snow under.” The fight for corporation attorney will be next in interest to the contest for mezycr. Mr. Gardner L. Boothe, a promi- nent and popular young attorney, nas come out against Mr. Samuel G. Brent, the in- cumbent. Mr. Brent has served the city weil and faithfully as corporation attorney for a number of years, but he brought dcwn the ire of the Bryan democrats hy voting and working for Palmer and Buck- ner in* the fall campaign, and they cast atout for an opponent for him. The Bryan democrats will use every effort to defeat Mr. Brent, but he will give them “a run for their money.” There are a number of people who would be members of the beard of aldermen and common council, and they are making an active canvass. Third Regiment Drum Corps. The 3d Virginia Regiment Drum Corps has just received from the state a complete set of new fatigue uniforms, caps, leggins, drum heads. At a regular meeting of the drum corps last night an invitation was re- ceived from the Knights of Pythias to at- tend their fair and social, and it was ac- cepted. Clem Dorsey's Funeral, The funeral of Clem Dorsey, who at- tempted to kill his wife and then committed suicide, an account of which appeared in The Star, will take place from Demaine’s undertaking establishment this afternoon at 4 o'clock. he interment will be in Bethel cemetery. The following will_act Magnus L. Robinson, Wil- rter, M. H. Whiting, Jorn Gaines and F. Williams. The condition of Mrs. Dorsey, who was as- saulted by her husband with an ax, re- mains unchanged.

C, Stockton president; L. F. Hunt, secretary; Burton Macafee, treasurer, and John Morrison, S. E. Gough, J. A. Randall, John Finn, W. F. Gapin and Dr. Stabler constitute the board of directors.

Wheat et al. have sold to Mr. J. B. N. Berry a lot on the easi side of West street between Princess and Oronvco; consideration not named. Passed the Examination. Second Lieut. R. H. Atkinson of the Alexandria Light Infantry went to Rich- mond yesterday and passed his examina- tion for promotion before the state mili- tary board of examiners. He will receive his commission from Gov. O'Ferrall in a few days. Confirmation Class. At the Emanuel Lutheran Church next Stnday morning Kev. J. M. Eberlein will confirm nine children.

Rathbone Division, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, will hold a fair and social in Shuler’s Hall, fer ten nights, Starting from the 11th instant. General and Personal Notes, Mr. Thomas Murray, a young drug clerk, has accepted a position in Norfolk, Va. Mr. Wm. H. F. Beckham will not be a candidate for the city council from the third ward, owing to business engagements that interfere with his making an active canvass. Mr. Horace Downham has returned from Mexico. There was only one case in the police cotrt this morning, Johu Bryant, charged with disorderly conduct. He was sent to the chain gang for thirty days. Champion Castle, Knights of the Golden Eagle, will have a sinoker May 19. Alexandria Council, Junior Order United American Mechanics, held a regular meet- ing last night. Rev.

The steamship Monowai arrived tast evening at San Francisco from Austraifa, via Apia and Honolulu, with the following advices: HONOLULU, April 1.—President Dole gave out the information today that Wm.

The Cheapness of Labor Gives the Country an Advantage. From the Chicago News. One of the most dangerous influences which has counted against the success of the silk industry in India is the diseases ‘among the worms. The Indian government has recently placed at the head of the sub- ject a native who had been trained for his work in England and France, and who has already accomplished much among the na- tives toward breaking down their old aversion to modern innovations. An entirely new set of eggs has been in- treduced in many places, perfectly free from the taint of the old diseases, and as a consequence there is already a decided ad- vance in the product. The species of worms at present most successfully bred is one which develops more rapidly than dces the usual kinds, and they demand as feod the mufberry jeaf in a decidedly early stage. As a consequence theve are fields after fields of mulberry shrubs, which are harvested at an early stage, much as grain is cut. It is, of course, the extreme cheapness of lebor which gives India such an advantage over most other silk-producing countries. At present there is little welcome for mod- ern machinery and the primitive methods which have been followed for ages are still in general use. Most of the rearing 1s done by the natives in their homes, while the wild tussar cocoon: are collected by the Santals—the great hunting and jungle tribe of Bengal—who go out with a large amount ‘of superstition and with many strange ob- servances to gather their harvest. The tussar cocoons are subjected to a chemical bath before they are given the same treat- ment as the cultivated varieties. During the drying processes the cocoons are spread ouf in immense trays made of plaited palm leaves, and the sight is one of ex:reme brilliancy, especially when the gayly clad natives flutter about in the golden sunlight, with the sparlding blue sky bending above them. The weaving of the silk from the steamed cecoons is one of the most picturesque pro- cesses in preparing the commodity for market. The crude wooden appliance on which the silk is wound is generally in charge of a man and a woman, or a man and a boy; the man sits on his heels on a long, raised stone bench before a bath in which the cocoons are kept moist, -vhile the fine silk threads pass through his fingers to the instrument before him, which the boy— or woman—keeps in constant rotar!on. It is remarkable to see with what skill the workers recognize the slightest difference in thickness of the threads, putting each on its own skein with an accuracy which is impossible except to the men and women wko have devoted their ves to the work.
