Consul Linsley Recommends a Cul- tivation of “Several years ago,” says United States Consul Linsley at Coaticook, Canada, in an official report, “it was impossible to procure United States periodicals and magazines here except by subscription. Today all of the leading United States periodicals, mag- azines, illustrated papers and similar pub- lications are on sale and freely purchased, as a result of the enterprise of a Montreal news company. I believe, if the sale of United States newspapers—and especially the great metropolitan dailies—could be successfully pushed in this country, it would result in attracting a largely in- creased demand for United States goods, through the medium of the advertising, not contained in the Canadian press. The Canadian consumer would in this manner be brought constantly into close touch with the United States, its institutions and pro- dvets. So far as I am able to ascertain, not a United States daily newspaper is to be found on sale in this vicinity, or, in- deed, this side of Montreal. How to work up a demand for these papers is a problem for the press. Possibly the attempt has been made and failed. If so, the reason for failure should be carefully considered and an effort made to overcome it. To make a United States paper interesting to Cana- dians, reasonable space would have to be devoted to Canadian interests. With proper train service, it would be possible to place the Boston and New York morning dailies on sale at most of the railway stations in this province on the day of publication. ‘The few that reach here by mail come ir- regularly, and, as a rule, are not received until from twenty-four to thirty-six hours ee EEE Why “Lead” Pencil?

He Couldn’t Play Golf. From the Ohicago Times-Herald. It is hard for us in this city of tole: rance and culture to realize that the republican candidate for the mayoralty of Buffalo was defeated “because he is a golf player.” It is true that he Proved that he is not enough of a player to hurt, and that he could not make the rounds of the lings in less thaa 175; tho spirit of blind prejudice was abroad and he was overwhelmed. It seems to us that we never can have suc cdssful municipal government until we eliminate golf and polo and ring-around-a- rosy from politics.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Proceedings of City Council at Semi-Monthly Leakage in Gi Matter Not Eva tar Bureau, cS King Street, Tdephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 10, 1897. The regular semi-mpnthly meeting of the city council was held last night, with but @ small attendance, It.was nearly 8 o'clock before they got down to work, and then no business of importance was transacted. There were no reports from the finance committee or the committee on general laws, the chairmen of those committees both keing absent. From the committee on streets, Chairman Smith reported a resolution granting Capt. Herbert Bryant permission to erect certain business bulld- ings on the Strand, his original property having been destroyed by fire last June. A petition from the property owners on Cameron and Columbus streets asking that the city council compel the Washing:on, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway Company to take up its tracks on those streets, was presented and referred to the committee on streets. The exact meaning of this petition was not explained. If granted it would prevent the railway coin- pany from running its cars to the Penn- sylyania railway depot. Chairman Smith introduced an ordinance to pave King street between Fairfax and Royal streets with asphalt or vitrified brick under the amendment to the thirty- third section of the city. charter. Mir. Smith, in presenting this ordinance, stated that 76 per cent of the property owners on that square had signified their willing- ness io pay their proportion of the ex- pense. Mr. Smith also had petitions from property holders all along King street from Fairfax street to Patrick street asking that the street be paved with improved material. The matter was referred back to the com- mittee on streets. Permission was granted to Mr. M. 8. Fairfax to erect a frame office at the cor- ner of Duke and Henry streets. A petition frem the American Telephone and Telegraph Company to enter the city with its lines was referred to the commit- tee on streets and general laws. Capt. Geo, A. Mushback, attorney for the company, spoke for a few minutes on the subject, and asked reference of the matter to the com- mittees, so represertatives of the company could appear before them and explain the request thoroughly. A resolution appropriating $218 additional for extra work at the Hydraulion engine house was referred to the committee on Public property. Permission was granted to Mr. J. Laphen to allow his frame porches on Madison street to remain as they now are. Notice was read from the school board to the effect that vacancies were caused in the board by the expiration of the terms of Messrs. 8. A. Mankin, Wm. F. Carne. sr., J. T. Sweeney and Wm. H. Marbury and by the resignation of Mr. W. F. Vincent. The four gentlemen first named were elected to succeed themselves, and Dr. Wm. M. Smith was‘ungnimously elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Vincent. ys The matter of leakage in gas and the mat- ters affecting the Blec&ric Railway Com- pany were not broughtimp, The~Washing- ton and Alexandria electric railroad people say that in order tp shorten the time be- tween the two cities, with as littie incon- venience to travel as passible, they estab- lished three station3 in Alexandria at some. expense, but no profit ‘to themselves, and that if they be compelléd to stop attevery street crossing they will have to close the stations at Washingtor and Payne streets. Denth of Mra. Perry. Mrs. Milton B. Perry of this city, upon whom an ‘operation’ was performed at Providence Hospital’ in Washington Mon- day, died at that "iMstitution last night. Mrs. Perry had. beeh taken'to the hospital in the hope that treatment there would save her life. She was the wife pf Mr. M. B. Perry, a well-known “Aléxandrian, and a sister of Messrs. William and Ernest L. Allen. Her many friends deeply regret to Iéarn of her death, Anne Leé Memorial Bazaar, Arrangements are rapidly nearing com- pletion for the fair and bazaar of the Anne Lee Memorial Association, which is to be held at the Alexandria Light Infantry arm- ory for a week, commencing November 22. The proceeds are to be used to erect a me- morial to the mother of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Splendid attractiors are being re- hearsed. Police Court, The following cases were disposed of in the Police Court by Mayor Simpson this morning: Harry Bryant, charged with re- fusing to work on the-chain' gang, was put on a bread and water diet; Walter Wash- ington, for leaving the gang, had five days added to his original sentence; Jack Mas- ton, charged with assaulting Capt. Jack Dixon, was dismissed; John and Ed. Bry- ant, charged with stealing chickens from Mr. H. Boader, were sent to the work house for thirty days each. Field Band Meeting. The Third Virginia Regiment Volunteer Field Band held a called meeting last night for the purpose of considering business of importance to members. The band will probably be reorganized, as little or no interest has been taken in it by the officers or men since their return from court. Tendered a Reception. A reception and supper was tendered Mr. Harry Fleischman, by his Washington friends at the Hotel Fleischman last even- ing, A bounteous repast was served in the dining room, The room was prettily deeorated for the occasion. Among those present were: Misses Almer, Rhodes, Heupel, Casey, Shaugknessy, Broughton, Marshall and Mesdames Edmonson and Williams. Messrs. Von Dachenhausen, Duval, Edmonson, King, Lawrence, Thomp- son, Williams, Heupel and Alnut. Seriously Injured. Mr. McDonaldson, an employe of the Scuthern railway shops, met with a painful accident yesterday evening, which may prove serious. He was using an air chisel, and upon laying it down. the instrument turned, and the ‘trigger struck some ob- stacle, causing the chisel to strike him in the head and face. He was knocked down and rendered unconscious. He was taken to his home, where surgical attention was rendered, 3 Trading ‘Stamps.

He Belongs to a Dentist and He is the Center of Attraction. From the London News. The greatest curiosity of the Kennel Club show at the Crystal Palace was an aged and very sleepy little Schipperke which beasts of the proud and unique distinction of being the only dog in the world with a complete set of cleverly modeled false teeth. His fame speedily spread among the visitors and he was always the center of a curious crowd and the object of much admiration. At the outset he resented the attempts of strangers to open his mouth in order to inspect his artificial grinders, rut eventually he yielded to the inevitable and patiently endured the trial of patienc ‘The owner of this canine curiosity is Mr. E. Mosely, L. D, S., who practices his pro- fession in this city. “At the early part of last month,” he said, “I was spending part of my vacation in Brussels, and at the same time was on the lookout for Schipperkes, to which breed I am particularly partial. One day I was standing under a tree. in the Keekelberg Gistrict during a regular downpour of rain when I saw an old Schipperke toddling along on the other side of the road, and was struck by his ears, which are usually small for the breed. I followed him, des- pite the rain, and eventually found that he belonged to a Fleming. Finding the dog was also the possessor of a particularly good coat, I eventually bought him. “What's his age? Well, I really don't know, for the owner had no record either of that or tae animal’s pedigree. But I should think he is anything from fourteen to fifty years of age, and a thoroughbred. “He was yery vicious at first—in fact, he bit me within the first two minutes that I took possession of him, and I have named him Myn Duyvel (My Devil). He had been very badly treated before I had him, and was in @ wretched condition. Myn Duyvel had Icst all his teeth with the exception of two on each side, and, as a consequence, could not feed properly, and lost flesh, al- though we minced his food up for him. So the idea of making him a set of artificial teeth came to me, and, to carry it out, everything had to be made specially. First there was a specially constructed tray for the mouth; then ordinary wax for making the model dragged and gutta-percha had to be used. When I had succeeded in getting the model, I procured the smallest arti- ficial human incisors known, and ground them down to the size and pattern required. “To show how small the teeth are, I ma say that there are six in front, top and bot- tom, and three each side, fop and bottom, making twenty-four in all, and they are sees platinum plates. “When'T first inserted the set, Myn Duy- vel fought furiously, but within a couple of he had become led them, hours re fi spring fixed just abcve the shoe, which had a gutta-percha sole. Tne dog used the ar- tificial Iimb without inconvenience for nearly two years, when he died from an accident while eating. a Exyptian Geese. From the Pall Mall Gazette. In the inclosure near the lion house at the zoological gardens may now be seen a pair of Egyptian geese (Chenalopex Egypticus). This fine species, which belongs to the same genus as the Orionoco goose (C. juba- tus) of South America, has the beak equal in length to the head, and at the tip bent suddenly down, so as nearly to hide the lower mandible. The wings, which are long and broad, are each armed with a small bare knob (the Orinoco goose is often referred to as the ‘knob-winged” goose); the tail is provided with fourteen rounded feathers. The sides of the head and front of the neck are whitish, the back of the neck is brown, as also is the collar that en- circles the lower part of it. The general color of the upper parts is a mixture of black and gray, while the under parts are yellowish brown, with some black and white markings; on the breast there is a brown patch. The primaries and tail feath- ers are glossy black; the tip of the beak is pink, as also are the legs and feet. Alto- gether, this ts a striking and rather hand- somely colored bird. It is the |*‘Vulpanser” of Herodotus, and was domesticated by the ancient Egyptians.

The oth- er morning she walked with strident steps down one of the north side boulevards and was the cynosure of the two curious eyes of every passerby. ‘The tan-colored “‘Cholly” style of walk- ing-stick was firmly grasped in the center ard tilted to an angle of 45 degrees. The woman of mannish mien wore.a stiff brown derby hat minus even the feminine flutter of a face veil. The gown was a brown tailor-made affair after the fashioa of the regulation bicycle suit, only the skirt was semewhat longer, The outer wrap was a long military-looking cape in gray, thrown back over one shoulder. The effect was extremely freakish, to say the least, but the maid made over into a man assumed the swaggering air of satisfied self-com- placency. —_—___+ee___-___ ‘The Pretty American Women in Paris Paris Letter to the Chicago Tribune.
