WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION.
Since that time it has purchased and re-
paired the Powder House, the most interest
ing relic of early history standing in that
historic town, and which was fast crumb.
ling to decay. It has bought the home OF
Mary Ball, the mother of Washington,
which is situated in the town of Fredericks-
burg, and which they propose to restore to
it's former condition as it was when occu-
pied by her, and to make it repository of
articles of the revolutionary period. 1t was
in this house that Washington asked and
obtained the blessing of his mother before
entering on his duties as President of the
United States, and in this house the
mother of Washington died at the good old
age of eighty-two.
REMAINS OF JAMESTOWN TO BE PURCHASED.
The next move of this association will be
to purchase so much of jamestown Island
az includes the old church and church
yard. Only the ruins of this old church,
built of English brick, and few of the
gravestores are left. This spot should be
sacredly guarded, as it marks the settle
ment of the first successful English colony
in America. 1t is in very neglected con
dition, and James river is making gradual
encroachments upon the soil, and fast
washing away parts of the island,

enlargement of any kind rendered to what

world as in fact the government of the

series Of outrages perpetrated on the crew OF
the Baltimore on any other supposition than
that those who concerted them were influenced
By the calumnies which had been actively cir
culsted. and that they were aided and abetted
BY police guard which should have sup

A CHARMING ROYAL ROMANCE.
Story Of the Courtship of an Archduke and an
Opera Singer.

Story OF the Courtship of an Archduke and an
Opera Singer.
1t is reported that the will OF Archduke Henry
OF Austria contains several curious clauses
which will render it inexpedient to publish it
in full The consequence of the deaths Of the
archduke and his wife has caused considerable
comment and has given rise TO rumors Of the
archduke's suicide, which. however. are prob
ably unfounded. The archduke was formerly
field marshal in the Austrian army and was
idolized by his troops for his martial spirit and
good fellowship in the officers corps. While
governor of Graz he met Leopoldine Hoffman,,
an opera singer, daughter of a government tax
collector of considerable property. He
fell in love with her and for many
nights in succession was conspicuous
in box at the opera house, whence
he sent her flowers and jewelry. One evening
he appeared at the opera house in disguise and
followed her home after the performance. He
found that she lived modestly with another
opera singer and that her reputation was above
reproach. He set about gaining her confidence.
He had her presented to him at public recep-
ton and followed up the acquaintanceship In
disguise. Although fifteen years older than
the young woman he dazzled her with his rank
and personal beauty. But Fraulein Hoffman,
repulsed his advances toward intimacy and

A RADICAL CURE
BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Statement Of Mr.. c. N. Cyphers
Of 2O7 u ct. NV.

For fifteen wears my wife has suffered more
or less from bronchial asthma, and for the last
three years her case became so very bad that
she was unable to leave her room during the
!. greater part of that time; indeed often con-
fined to her bed.
Her physician exhausted every known rem
edy for relief. called in consultation a throat
specialist. and even had the Koch lymph in
jected, but without any material benefit. Hear
ing Of DIR. Lighthilrs success in diseases Of the
- espiratory organ she applied to him for treat
nent, and am happy to state that relief came
most promptly. From the very beginning
marked Improvements manifested itself, gain
ing from day to day. Her breathing became
natural, the troublesome cough left her, she
). could sleep all night undisturbed, the distress
ing asthma disappeared her buoyant spirit, 30
long depressed, returned again, and she feels
/ now more like her former self.
4. i am confident that this statement ID joyful
news to her many friends and hope will bene-
fit other sufferers from this most distressing
disease.
