Tyler Accepts Invitation to De- liver Addrexs—Other Speakers Ex- pected—Committees in Charge. The absorbing topic of conversation in Alexandri y, and among the citizens of the »lumbia who own prop- erty and have interests therein, is the pro- posed dedication of the new county court house on Fort Myer Heights, which will take place the 16th instant. For the last twenty years the Alexandria county people have been striving to have their court house moved from the city of Alexandria and placed at some more convenient point in the county, and now that they have al last eeded they propose to do every. thing in their power to make memorable the day of the opening of the new temple of justice. The law of the state (section 925 of the code) requires “that there shall be provided by the board of supervisors of every coun- ty a. court house, and cierk's office, etc., the absolute title to which shall be .n the county; that there shall be about two acres of land, and what may be necessary for the purpese shall be occupied with the court house, ete alance planted with ace for the people of nd confer together.” e people of Alexandria county about to carry out to the strict © law. The land necessary, con- taining two or more acres, was donated to the county by Messrs. Geo. P. Robinson and Daniel K. Trimmer of the Fort Myer Heights Land Company. It is one of the st beautiful elevations near the national apital, and has upon it a fine growth of oak tre forming a magnificent court house green. This ground, it is understood, will seon be inclosed by a substantial iron fence, laid off with g alks and pic- turesque lawn figures, and made a proper- ty to command the pride of the citizens of the county and state. plidny Sugrested. been made by the executive : the people of the county cease from all labor on the day of dedica- tion, to attend the ceremonies with their and friends, and mak ng and rejoicing, and it now seems to be act that there will be more people of the county gathered to- gether on that day than on previous occasion in the history of the county The circuit court for the county will be in session in Alexandria city during all of next week, but Judge C. E, Nicol will be ked to adjourn his court Wednesday next the day of the celebration, so that his honor, all court officials and all litigants shall be able to attend and participate in ede ne the tory ceremonies The court house is a beautiful struc- ture ef brick and stone. the first story be- ing oceupied by commodious rooms to be used off by the court clerks, the beard supervisors, superintendent of public county treasurer, commis- sioner of internal revenue and county sur- veyor, while in the second story is the large and handsome court room, with lofty ceil- ing, tinted walls and modern judges’ stand, witness and jury boxes, ete, and also a neat privaie room for the judge. and offices for the sneriff, commonwealth’s attorney and a room each for the grand and petty Juries. perts on court house arrange- menis have visited this structure, and it is but fair to say the consensus of opinion has been that there is not a more con- veniently and comfortably arranged court house in the limits of the state. All the rooms are heated by steam, and the struc- ture is practically fire-proof. Tt tect of the building is Mr. A. Goenner of Washington city, whose plan was chosen in a spirited contest held le! spring. in which many of nent hitects Architect Goenner paid special tion to. the building during its construction, and it stands now a monument to his artistic taste and mechanical skill and judgment. The contractor and builder was Mr. J. H Hobson of Alexandria county, whose bid was the lowest of a score or more. The board of supervisors, carefnl of the county's interest, put him under heavy bond for the faithful construction of the edifice accord- ing.to the plans and specifications. His work and material were inspected almost daily by the architect or some one of the board of supervisors, and he is now ready to, and will, Wednesday next, turn over to the county authorities what is believed to be the handsomest structure in the county and one of the best built and most con- venient court houses in the state.

The work of the George Junior Republic will be described by the former president of the board of trustees, Rev. Lawrence Hunt of New York, at the Western Presbyterian Church tomorrow evening. This unique ex- periment of applying the essential princi- ples of our great republic to the vexed question of reform has attracted world- wide attention. The efficiency shown by the waifs of the city slums in the govern- ment of their little commonwealth is de- scribed as truly remarkable, and the ob- ject lesson inspires even greater confidence in the beneticence of our plan of govern- ment. The Junior Republic, in the judgment of many authorities on social problems, will work a revolution in the reform methods of the world. Chauncey M. Depew, the eminent New Yorker, thinks “its processes should be introduced into our public schools." Representative C. H. Grosvenor of Ohio, speaking on this theme at the Metropolitan M. E. Church last June, said: “It is one of the wisest plans I have heard of. It is new to me. I wish to point out to you that the system that is here brought into operation, at present a small cloud no ADDITIONAL DELEGATES Representatives Ohocenato District Sunday £chool Ponkention.

Mal ant Parchase. The firm of S. Kann, Sons & Co., has just made an important addition to its floor space by the purchase of an indefinite leas2 of th> building occupied by Johnson & Lut- trell, on Market space. When the improve- ments now in contemplation are completed, Kann, Sons & Co., will have, it is un- derstood, one of the largest floor spaces in the city occupied exclusively for the retail sale of dry goods. The property mentioned is a two-story building, built of terra cotta and brick. It occupied a lot twenty-four by one hundred and twenty feet in dimen- sions, and has two stories and a basement Dh2 back wail of the building is common property between Johnson & Luttrell and Kann, Sons & Co. It is proposed to r>- move that wall, put in arches and make a connection between the two buildings. As soon as the stock, which was also pur- chased by Kann, Sons & Co., can be posed of, which will be soon, the firm will adapt the store to its own us¢ The firm had long felt the tional space. lt is already very much crowdod, and with the approach of the holiday Season, greater facilities were ab- solutely demanded. Negotiations wore there fore begun with the resuit that the John son stock and the lease on the building and ground were purchased. Through the acquisition of the Johnson store the firin will hav> two entrances on Market space one on Sth street and two on 7th stree through the Family Shoe Store. ‘The John- son store will be remodeled and fitted out with up-to-date convenience Kann, Sons & Co. have been for forty years a leading firm in Baltimore. Wher they first established business in this city they located in what is known as the Cz ter property, 711 Market space. That was five years ago. Six months later they took poss2ssion of the corner occupied by W. Pierce, having one floor there and two 8 tions of the annex. Within ten mont they remodeled and took { entire building. Two years afterward two adjacent prop2rties on Sth street and an adjoining store on Market s; an Import- eed of addi- cured and the present corner building erected. Since then the firm has agait realized the nec>ssity for more space, and believes the Johrson building will afford it. It is understood that Mr. Johnson, of the firm of Johnson & Luttrell, retires from the business there to devote undivided att2n- ton to interests elsewhere. — BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. Action of Anthorities in Case of Policeman Backenkeimer. Policeman Henry Backenheimer was re- cently found guilty by Trial Officer Pugh of failing to arrest a man last month who was engaged in disorderly conduct. The officer's defense was that he knew the party and could get him at any time, and therefore started to arrest another man guilty of the same conduct. r Sylvester, the chief of police, in ‘ding the findings to the Commission- ers, indorsed them as follows: “This man has been on the force com- hich to me is the only and but a slight excuse for leniency Where an officer witnesses a violation 0} law and does not endeavor to make prompt arrest it is to his discredit. In this case I appreciate the fact that the non-law. ing rejoice in the removal of a police of and that at times the same c! cherish animosities against individual.members of thelr kind, and would be gratified if such a person should be arrested. I have no rea- son to believe the accused to be an untruth- ful man, and if a bottie was thrown at him by an unknown party, whom he did not overtake, it would be ne y for some one to assist in apprehending that pers which was done in this instance.
