Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King st., Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 1, 1897. To be an Alexandria policeman carries with it a great deal of glory, but certainly not so far as Sergt. James T. Smith and Officer William Ferguson are concerned, for some charges preferred by Mayor Thompson, as coming from Chief Webster, are again facing them, and they are order- ed to appear before the board of police commissioners to answer. It fs alleged in these charges that the of- ficers named did on a certain day not long ago enter a saloon with some women and stay for more than two hours and a half, and that they then and there got on a drunk. Officer Ferguson is further charged with being drunk on another ‘occasion. These charges were in writing, to be hended to Sergt. Smith and Officer Fergu- son, but before any of the members of the press except himself (the mayor) could see them he took them back. The Star re- porter asked- and obtained permission to read them, but when it was found that he was making a verbatim copy they were taken from him by the mayor, who went off to consult Commonwealth’s Attorney Marbury, Ferguson’s representative. Ever since Officers Smith and Fergusson made the most effective raid, by which sixteen men were fined from $50 to $250 each and sent to jail for from thirty to sixty days, and ridded the city of its pol- fey shops and gambling houses, the police force has been made a little too warm, for them, and they have had a hard road to travel. Everything has been done in a quiet way to make it unpleasant for them, but, men as they are, they have gone on in their own way, attending to their duties to the letter. It was predicted at the time of the now famous policy raids, and openly asserted, that it would be the means of having these two men put off the force. The first at- tempt was alleged insubordination, when they were suspended by the mayor for thir- ty days each, the board of police commis- sioners, to the chagrin of the mayor, re- versing the sentence and restoring the men to duty forthwith, allowing ‘them their sal- ary for the full thirty days for which they were suspended. Sergeant Smith and Officer Ferguson most emphatically deny the charge, and say their general reputation while on the police force will bear them out. Among the witnesses named are some of the ‘‘frequenters of hard corners and the Whitechapel district.” Mr. Harry Rice, in whose place the vio- lation of the law is said to have occurred, denies most emphatically that the men were ever in his place with women. The outcome is looked forward to with much interest by the public, as it is said the officers are unduly persecuted. Real Estate Sales. The following sales of real estate were made yesterday afternoon: The property known as the Haskins wood vulcanizing works, situated on the river front, between Wolfe and Wilkes streets, was bought in by Mr. Enock White, trus- tee for the company, for $26,000. The property known as the Pioneer Mills was bought in by Mr. Clarence Norment, trustee, for $2,100. A lot of ground, with the improvements thereon, situated on the south side of Wolfe street between Lee and Union streets, was purchased by E. E. Phillips for $325. Circuit Court for the County. The following business was transacted in the circuit court for Alexandria county yesterday, Judge C. E. Nicols presiding: The bill of exceptions in the case of W. H. Palmer, administrator of Kate Ford, vs. Chesapeake and Ohio and Washington pombe railroads, was prepared and sign- ed. In the case of Shelley vs. Pettit, unlawful detainer, judgment for the defendant was given. Flag Raising. ‘A delegation from the three councils of Junior Order American Mechanics of this city yesterday visited Leesburg and par- ticipated in the exercises In conection with the raising of a flag on the public school bullding there. Mr. Frank E. Anderson of this city was the orator of the day. Stockholder’s Meeting. At the annual meeting of the stockhold- ers of the Mount Vernon Fire Insurance Company suitable resolutions in reference to the death of Mr. Frank E. Corbett, the late president of the company, were passed. Mr. F. L. Davidson was elected president, and Ashby Miller, J. C. Milburn and Leon- ara Marbury were elected directors. After transacting some routine business the meet- ing adjourned. Monument to Judge Chichester. C. F. Neale & Son yesterday closed a contract for a granite monument to the memory of the late Judge Chiches- ter, which is to be erected at Fairfax Court House, Va., shortly. Col. Mosby’s Improvement. Col. John S. Mosby has improved to such a large extent that he anticipates coming to Washington Thursday to have an arti- ficial eye put in place of the one he lost on account of injurtes received while driv- ing near Charlottesville some weeks ago. Police Court. The foilowing cases were disposed of in the police court this morning: James Davis and Dan Freeman, both well-known col- oreé men, charged with disorderly conduct, fighting and carrying concealed weapons, fined $50 each, in default of which they went to jail, subject to service on the chain gang; Mary Bundy, arrested upon the com- plaint of her husband, charged with disor- derly conduct, fined $2. " Gemeral and Personal Notes. The regular monthly meeting of Mary Custis Lee Chapter, Daughters of the Con- federacy, was held this morning at 11 o'clock at the residence of Mrs. Dr. Hern- don. In the corporation court yesterday, in the case of Violet agt. Violet, a decree was en- tered confirming the report of Commis- sioner Callahan and commissioners of sale, Messrs.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA|IN SPORTING CIRCLES (Continued tromseventh Page.) = Athletic Club off Washington. Under the able leadership Of Dr. George E. Walls, who is also a mem! of the Baltimore ‘Whist Club, a fing, aggressive style of play has been developed, and this, taken to- gether witn the personnel of the team, will make it a formidable candidate for high hcnors in the Hemiiton trophy contest. Two of the team, Jules Wooten and Dr. Walls, are of such well-known ability as to require no comment, and of the other pair, Messrs. Chjlds.,an@ Hampton, it is quite enough to say that they are able to stand any pace set By their better-known partners. It is a ie of regret that the Baltimore team cannot obtain the services of Dr. Walls at the seventh congress, but he considered that his first duty was to his native city, and he will play for Wash- ington. SHOOTING AT GLEN ECHO. Local Gunners Take Part inn Tourna- ment. The Glen Echo Gun Club held its second tournament of the reason yesterday. There was no phenomenal shooting, though the contestants did quite well, Mr. Mitchell, the son of the Wisconsin senator, making the best showing. The old-timers managed to keep up in the line and carry off a good portion of the prizes. ‘Those participating were Messrs. B. Wize, Wagner, Mitchell, Reed, Smith, Parson, Bond, McKeldon, Halpine, Phebus, Waters, Pruitt, Nutting; Holraead, Coleman, Hyde, Potts, G. Wise, Drummond, Rainhart and Baltzley. CRICKET AT HEVY .CHASE. Local Eléven Defented by the Catons- ville Clab Team. The local cricketers should feel encour- aged by yesterday's match with the Ca- tonsville Country Club team at their new grounds near the Chevy Chase circle. True they scored but twenty-nine runs in the first inning, but they rolled up fifty-five in the second, with only four wickets down. The match was not completed, but was stopped according to agreement in time to enable thé visitors to catch a train for Baltimore. Quite a number .of spectators witnessed the playing.

The six-day fematé’ bicycle race started last evening at.$ o'clock at the Center Market Hall in the presence of a number of spectators. Theré were seven starters, and by today five more are expected who are willing to come in on the second day and run the risk of losing with the big handicap of one night's riding. A view of the track can be obtained from any part of the hall. ‘There are thirteen laps to the track, while the score board in the rear shows the progress of the riders by laps and by miles. The participants are: No. 1, Clemance Wilder of Chicago, blue costume; No. 2, Mollie Woods of New York city, black and white colors; No. 3, Ollie Davis of Cum- berland, red’ and white colors; No. 4, Blanche Owens of Boston, blue and white striped colors; No. 5, Flossie Toner of Phil- adelphia, black; 6, Ella Ernest, black and spottled ee No. 8, Sadie Wilson, Pittsburg Pa., brown and white. ‘There was a tussle for positions at the start, and for some time after there was a lively hustle around the track. Miss Wilder was riding strong, and led for the greater part of the evening. Miss Owens is reserving her strength for the closing days. Miss Thomas, who started to ride late, appeared to be somewhat out of sorts, and rode erratically, having several nar- row escapes. She collided with Miss Woods and cut her ear, which was suflicient to cause her to retire from the track for the night. Ollie Davis ran off the track “and slightly hurt herself. She covered nearly twelve miles, but was forced to leave. Mfss Wilder fell on the back stretch, but was able to mount her wheel and continue to ride. The score at midnight last evening stood as follows: Miles. Laps. Mise Wilder. Miss Owens. Miss Toner. o Miss Woods 2 +: Miss Davis. 12 5 Miss Ernest.... 11 5 Miss Thomas. -1 4 ATHLETIC PARK RACES.

At This Time of the Year Most People Are Not in Good Condition. We hear a great deal, just now, about Spring medicines. It is known that people feel ran down after the labors and siege of Winter, and it is as- sumed they need a Spring medicine. Nature will throw off the rheums in the blood which have ac- cumnlated during the Winter, if she bas only a Uttle help. And a little gentle stimulant is all the Spring medicine any one requires. “But,” you may say, “‘what do you mean by stimulant, and what do I require?” We answer, something absolutely pure, powerful, and which has been: proved to abundantly answer the purpose. Unquestionably, whiskey, if of the right kind, is the proper thing to use, but, unfortunately, there are few good whiskies in the market. Duffy’s pure malt bas been upon the market for years. It has the unqualified endorsement of physicians and chem- ists, and it is the only whiskey which can be rec- ommended. It is true, certain unscrupulous drug- gists and grocers scek to sell other and inferior goods, claiming they are equal to Duffy's, but they possess little purity and no medicinal power what- ever, whereas Duffy's is specially designed as a me- dicinal whiskey. It would be well to bear these facts in mind when considering the subject of Spring medicines, and how to best put the system Jn shape for the requirements of the season, greatly disappeinted- when it became known that Wefers had broken down and had to go back. Georgetown on crutches. Wefers strained his right leg badly in his last race. In the second trial of the 100 yard run T. R. Fisber of Yale broke a tendon in his right leg as he crossed the tape and fell heavily on the cinder path. He will not be able to run again for a couple of months. Jim Mitchell, the world’s champion ham- mer thrower, was among those who con- tested, but showed poorly against Flanna- gan, who made a new world’s record with a throw of 150 feet 8 inches. The previous record was 145 feet and three-quarters of an inch, made by Mitchell in 1892. Mitch- elt could do no etter than feet 4 inches, and McCracken of Pennsylvania beat him for second place by ten inches. When the result was announced Flanna- gan was cheered to the echo, and one of the first to congratulate the Irishman was Mitchell, who yielded up the championship with good grace. TROTTING \G AT BRIGHTWOOD. A Good Sized Gathering Saw Two Events Contested. A thoveand or more admirers of trotting went to the Brightweod Driving Park yes- terday afternoon, two events being trotted.

The Capital Yacht Club held its fifth an- nual regatta yesterday, with eight boats participating. The course extended from River View to Hallowing Point, a buoy marking the turning point, and return, a tctal distance of sixteen nautical miles. The regatta proved exceedingly exciting to those interested. The start was made at 9:15, and in a little over three hours the winning boats crossed the tape. Mr. F. C. Townsend's yacht, the Franciana, won in 3:03:45; Sea Gull, Mr. Jacob Diemer, sec- ond, 3.19:49; Greyhound, Dr. Arthur C. Rauterburg, third, ; Wanderer, Mr. W. H.

Georgetown —_.—__ THE ENTERTAINMENT EPIDEMIC. “Miss Brown” Gives a Reason for lis Eruption in the Se! To the Editor of The Evening Star: As an epidemic of entertainments is rag- ing all along the line of school buildings in cur city, and parents are complaining of the drafts made upon them, I thought it only just to the teachers, for whom I have @ sneaking fondness, I admit, to find out the why and wherefore of all the extra work of these entertainments, at this time of the year, when every hour is precious, and both teaehers and pupils are pretty well fagged out by the regular work. Every one who has been interested enough in our schools to watch them closely knows that during the last ten or twelve years they have been subject to a series of ex- periments. First, an effort was made to abolish the drudgery necessary to learn to spell, a move which, however laudable in itself, is apt to prove unpleasant in its re- sults, when applied to a language ike the Engli8h, in which no rule can be depended upon, ang every werd of which must be learned by itself. Then the cry of tender parents that their children were over- worked was heeded to such an extent that the work was to be done by the teachers, exclusively, if possible, and the path to knowledge of the children was to be strewn with roses, thornless ones at that. Well, it was pleasant for them, no doubt, and the old adage that “there is ne royal road to learning” bade fair to be relegated into = background with other exploded myths. As the greater number of pupils drop out be- fcre they reach the High School, the result of the experiment was not so striking at first, as people at large are hardly inter- exted in the amount of knowledge a child has acquired during its school course; but at the High Schools the teachers began to complain that the new pupils were not properly prepared. for their work; they were deficient in spelling, for one thing, and seemed to have no powers of memory—a leck which makes itself wofully felt when reaches the point where real a@ student order.
