Proceedings of the County Court— Charch Anniversary Service—Police Commissioner's Eligibility. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street. Bell Telephone, No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 2, 1897. It is often the case that would-be “sports” come to this ‘city from Washington, get about half “jagged” and proceed to make themselves very disagreeable to ladies whom they may pass on the streets and elsewhere. Yesterday afternoon two well- dressed young men went to the Alexandria Times office, where a -number of young ladies were at work, and became so in- sulting that it was found necessary to send fer an officer and have both of them placed under arrest. They gave their names as J. C. Barnes and F. E. Carlisie, and left $5 collateral each for their ap- peararce in the police court this morning. When the case was called, however, they failed to show up, and the collateral was declared forfeited. It is said that these young men also made themselves offensive in Aitcheson’s machine shop. The mayor has issued orders that all such offenders be arrested, and he will do the rest in breaking up the practice com- plained of.

The anniversary service at Grace Church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock bids fair to be largely attended. It was expected that Rev. D. F. Sprigg, D.D., the first rec- tor of the church, would preach, but owing to his advanced age he finds it impossible to do so. Rev. C. E. Ball, the present rec- tor, will preach, and the Holy Eucharist will be celebrated. Questions Price's Eligibility. A communication in one of the local papers calls attention to the alleged fact that Police Commissioner Frank Price is ineligible to hold office under the state of Virginia, “owing to the fact that he holds a position under the United States govern- ment. Attention was called to this fact at the time Mr. Price was elected, but no ac- tion was taken by the authorities looking to a solution of the matter. John H. Cook’s Funeral.

The deep reds, which are 80 beautiful to the eye, make little fuupresaion on the photographer's plates, and the light itself is gencrally feeble and flickeriag. Not unaptly have the quivering auroral beams been called “merry dancers.” Even the bright displays are hard to photograph, as we may see from an entry in Gen. Greely’s note-book on January 21, 1882. “A most beautiful aurora,” he gays, “with in- tense light, at times sufficiently bright to cast my shadow on the snow.
