port News Registrar Case Tomorrow.

An opinion will be rendered in the Su-
preme Court of Appeals tomorrow in the
case of II. deb. Clay against John Ballard,

him 10 do so.
But for this case the Supreme Court
would have adjourned last Friday for the

REAsoNABLE PRICES.
CAPTAIN Cutchins when he first conceived
the idea of having the fair was exceed;
ingly apprehensive lest the people should
think the charges for the goods woul be
ex0rbitant. and consequently he ordered
the prices on everything to be made as
low as possible. His instructions IN this
line have been strictly followed, and 1t Is
a mistaken idea to suppose that the booths
CLEAN their main profits from the exces-
sively high charges. The candy booth,
which Is under the charge of Mrs. Crutch-
field, assisted by several charming girls, IS
one of the most attractive centres OF the
fair. Bon-bons of every description, are
sold here, and there are MANY novelties
calculated 70 please the aesthetic tastes as
we'll as the palate.

GENERAL W. C. WIcKHAM's STATUE,
The Committee VIII Recommend that
IL BE Placed In Monroe Park.

An informal meeting of the Council
Committee on Grounds and Buildings
was held In the City Engineers Office at
noon Yesterday TO confer with representa-
tives of the Wickham Monument Associa-
ton.
Some time ago the Council adopted re-
solution requesting the Association to place
the monument in one of the city parks.
When the resolution was forwarded 1t WAS
accompanied by n letter from Mayor
Ellyson uniting in the request. Before re-
PLYING to this the association wanted to
know of the city what site 1t proposed for
the monument.
The conference yesterday was entirely
informal. All OF the committee was pres
ent except Mr.. Curtis. Messrs. II. II.
Cardwcll, c. L. Wexford, ]. c. Dickerson,
and Huntley represented the association.
Colonel Cutshaw, being as ed for his
views, thought Jefferson Park CIwenty-
first and MARSHALL or Candles Hill the
place for it. The former, he thought, was
the most appropriate, overlooking, as 1t
does. the Chesapeake and Ohio railway
and shops. with the management OF which
he was so long connected.
Mr.. Cardwell, who acted as spokesman
said it was the desire of Mrs. Wickham
that the statue be erected in Monroe Park.
Colonel Cutshaw said that the only OBJ
lection TO this place was the fact that the
trees are so close as To hide the statue,
which would not have the elevation that
il would at the other points mentioned.
But it was proper that Mrs. Wickham's
choice should prevail.
The committee decided 10 recommend
Monroe Park rs the place where the statue
should be put.

Nearly every physician, every scientist, and
every sufferer has been asking this great ques-
ton; What IA the Gripf Some have asserted
that II Is q dangerous microbe which comes into

and soon overruns the body with disease Others
have said that we are passing through region
OF star-dust, and that the minute particles are
drawn into tho body with every breath. What
ever IL may be, IL Is certain that II is something
within the body which u lighting with the body to
undermine the life.
What would common sense dictate In such an
emergency? Counteract the enemy Drive 10
from the system. Do not triic with IL. Act
promptly and wisely at the frst approach. which
you cnn readily detect. Take something which
can counteract their deadly influence. Spirits Of
some kind are the best thing 20 take, and whis-
key Is preferable 10 any other kind OF spirit; but
y should be borne very carefully In mind TINT
only pure whiskey will have the effect, and IL
should also be remembered that Duhys Pure
Malt Whiskey stands nc the head OF all prepare
lions, and Is the only medicinal whiskey upon
the market. Scientists have asserted this, the
doctors have verified Il, and millions Of people
have proven IL beyond doubt. There arc many
INSCRIPTIONS dealers who will assure you that
any whskey will answer the purpose, but they
are wrong and arc trying 20 deceive you. In case
OF Grip you cannot afford to take any chances,
therefore. take that which Is, beyond question,
pure, medicinal, and the only valuable whiskey
