With nothing trashy and nothing absurdly extreme, ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Retiring Paste Revelle Preaches ASPIRANTS FOR*CITY OFFICES ACTIVE Protest by Officer Spinks Against Commisgioniérs’ Action. t 1 ——_e-—_—_- GENERAL AND PERSONAL Evening Star Bureau, No. 701 King St. Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 2, 1900. Rev. T. P. Revelle of the Methodist Pro- testant Church preached his final sermon in that pulpit last evening before a large con- &regation. At the morning service Mr. Re- velle’s discourse related to the qualities which a newly appointed pastor would ex- pect to find in his congregation. The other side of the question was discussed at the evening service; Rev. Mr. Revelle describ- ing the various phases of character which @ congregation would look for in a new pastor. The speaker gave his hearers ad- vice concerning their relation with the min- ister whe would follow in his steps, and closed hig discourse with words of affec- tionate farewell. Mr. Revelle will leave in a few days to assume charge of a church in Seattle, Wash. He has been pastor of the Methodist Protestant Church here for two years, during which time he has made many friends. His departure is generally regretted. Two new ministers opened their pastorates with sermons in this city yesterday. Rev. Dr. Frank J. Brooke, recently of Staun- ton, preached to large congregations at the Second Presbyterian Church, to which he was called after the resignation of Rev. J. Ernest Thacker. Rev. J. A. Jeffers, who was appointed by the Virginia conference pastor of Trinity M._E. Church, occupied his pulpit yesterday at both morning and evening services. Police Court Docket. Mayor George L. Simpson disposed of the following cases in the police court this morning: Cina Jackson, colored, charged with disorderly conduct, was assessed $5. Robert Smith, also colored, was charged $2.50 for injury done to private property. Fred. Lunsburg did not appear to answer the charge of being drunk and disorderly, and the $2.50 collateral which he had de- posited was forfeited. A fine of $5 was im- posed in the case of William Wilkinson, colored, charged with disorderly conduct in a church. The charge of conducting business without a license against Samuel Bundy, colored, was dismissed. The case against Charles Medley, colored, charged with fighting on the street, was continued until tomorrow morning. Democratic Candidates Active. A democratic convention will be held at the Alexandria county court house April 10 for the purpose of electing delegates and alternates to the state convention, to be held in Norfolk May 2. The county is en- titled to two delegates. It is probable that they will be instructed on the matter of making the constitutional convention ques- tion a party issue. The date for holding a city convention for making a similar choice has not yet been fixed. Considerable local interest is centered in the democratic primary to be held April 1 for the nomination of four candidates for municipal offices which are to be filled at the regular election in May. The offices are: Commonwealth's attorney, city treas- rkship of corporation ‘and circuit sand city sergeant. For only two of . clerk of the courts and city sant, is there any contest, but the dates for these places are active. Mr. Spinks Protests. The time given Officer Spinks in which to make his decision as to whether he will re- sign or abandon his candidacy for the city sergeancy expired Saturday. Mr. Spinks has addressed a letter to the police commis- sioners, in which he protests against what he terms “the unwarranted position as- sumed by three members of the board.” He “They haye, in violation of my consututional rights, taken upon themselves the power to remove me from the police force of the city of Alexandria, unless I sacrifice my manhood and my citizenship by withdr: as a candidate for the office of city sergeant.” The writer quotes from stitution ma within the ople. He argues that a po- ing the privileges of citizen- s rily must be eligible to elec- tive offices. Reference is made to the state ment from the comm that their ac- tion followed a due tigation of the circumstances in the case. Mr. Spinks de- clares that he was not notified to appear and defend himself. General Matters. The jury in the Alexandria county court in the case of Mrs. O. I.

Sa Te nS Seu \ | Children in Danger. ‘The citizens of Congress Heights are com- tnenting upon the alleged poor condition of the plastering of the ceilings of some of the rooms of the Congress Heights public school, and, it is understood, the matter will be brought to the attention of the District Commissioners shortly, as the residents fear some injury may befall the children. An instance of the falling of plaster from the ceiling of the first-grade room, on the first floor of the building, took place one day near the close of the past week, about 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon, after dismissal of the class. The falling plaster, which left a large circular space in the ceiling, struck and slightly damaged four desks. A fifth desk was struck, and was snapped from its iron fastenings to the floor. A piece of plaster from the ceiling of the second-grade room, also on the first floor, fell one morning before the hour for open- ing arrived, and some months since a big piece fell from the same ceiling. ——— Attending Regimental Reunion.

Yankees Are Not Qualified to Pass Judgment on Kentuckians, A Kentucky colonel, who had been spends ing a month in a New England town in order, it was generaliy believed, to re- cuperate from the effects of too long con+ tinued blue grass inspiration, was missing one morning from his hotel, and a search was instituted for him at once, as he waS known to be despondent and it was feared that he had made way with himself. The guileless searchers went first to the river flowing by the foot of the town and sent parties up and down its banks, preparatory to a more vigorous examination of its depths after the preliminaries. At one ses cluded point the town policeman found @ pair of trousers, in such condition and of such quality as might naturally lead to the belief that they had belonged to the miss+ ing man, and he brought them in with more or less of triumph, as any successful sleuth would have done. The landJord and several other prominent citizens examined them, and they commended the policeman and were on the point of starting to search thd river at that point when an old darkey, who had drifted into the town from Kentucky just after the war and stayed there, appear- ed on the scene. He picked up the trousers, looked them over, examined the articles that had been taken from the pockets and ran his hand in them to see if there was anything else there, and shook his head scornfuily. “What's the matter, Ezra?” inguired the landjord. “Dey ain't Mahs Tom's,” he replied, cone fidently. “How do you know they are not? You don’t know all the clothes he had, do you?” ‘No, suh, but I knows dem ain't his‘’n, an’ so'd you folks ef you wuz ‘quainted wid eur kind uv people.” “Get out,” exclaimed the landlord, an- grily. “You don’t know any more than the rest of us.” “Co'se not, co’se not,” said the old darks ey, soothingly, “but I knows dat no Kaine tucky gemman like Mahs Tom wuz ain't goin’ ’roun’ wid no hip pockets in his pants an’ no cawkscrew in his pockets. you bawn, he ain't.” ———__.
