with the foot ball teams to the South

the game is a very rough one, there is

The Virginia Dare Memorial Associa-
ton was organized for the purpose of
establishing in North Carolina a perma-
nent memorial to perpetuate the men,
DRY of Virginia Dare-the first child born
in America-and to emphasize the i'm
portance of colonization in the develop
ment of the New World. This associa-
ton undertook to aid in the construc-
ton Of North Carolina building at the
Worlds Fair, but as that purpose has
been abandoned, the association will
proceed to the accomplishment OF its
original object, the erection of per-
manent memorial in the State. The
association proposes to request the con-
tributors to this building fund to per-
NIT the amount contributed to be trans
ferred to it's account, to aid in establish
ing this memorial.
Application will be made to each con-
tributor for permission to have this
transfer made. Certificates of stock in
the association will be mailed to all who
consent.
The aims of the association cannot
fail to elicit appreciation when under
stood. Explanations in regard to its
Anne and purposes will be distributed.

STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC.

l.
ject for a State Building -
Causes that Led to 1.-THE
Virginia Dare Memorial Assoc
citation.
Less than a year ago the lady man
ayers for North Carolina undertook to
raise part and if possible, the whole OF the
amount necessary for the erection OF a
State building at the Worlds Fair:
Believing that such building would
advance the business interests OF the
State and corduce to the pleasure, com
fort and convenience Of our people who
should visit the Columbian Exposition,
the women !abored periodically and
| faithfully to raise the money, and the
sum of nearly $4,000 has been contrib
uted for that purpose.
This work of soliciting funds was to be
| labor of patriotism and cooperation,
! and we would not have undertaken so
stupendous a wo.k, but for encourage
me 1T in the belief that our efforts, II not
entirely successful, would be aided by
similar efforts on the part OF other mem
bers of the Board of Worlds Fair
Managers for North Carolina.
The State Board OF Managers being
recently pressed blythe Exposition Man
agement to take immediate action in
regard to this building, found that the
Lady Managers were not prepared to fill
the requirements OF the whole work, and
the board having also failed in securing
additional funds, was without available
means for completing and maintaining
this building, so the site was surren-
dered.
The lamentable fact remains, that we
are to have no State building. The wo-
men have labored patiently and perse-
veringly for what they believed would
benefit our people, but have only secured
a proportion of success. That the result
has been unsatisfactory is not because
the women have failed to do their duty
but because the requisite cooperation
was not forthcoming.
In regard to the dedication in Chicago
last October of State building which
has proved a veritable "castle in the
air. the lady managers were not con-
suited, and therefore are, in no way, re-
sponsible for that premature and empty
ceremony.
For the Jealous work done by the wo-
men of Wilmington, and for the gener
Gus response of her men, we tender our
appreciative thanks.
The object for which this money was
collected having been abandoned, the
ladies desire to return it to the generous
accomplish this end.

SALLIE S. Gotten.

The PRETTY Woman,

A pretty woman must first OF all
have clearly cut, regular features.
She must have full, clear eyes.
She must have a skin that is above
reproa:h, untouched by rouge or
powder.
She must have glossy hair that has
never known the touch OF bleach or
dye.
She must have q good figure, plump
enough, yet slender enough, though
never suggestive OF an angle.
She must have q white, expressive
hand, preferably q small one, but not
OF a necessity, if it is we'll kept and
white.
She must have small ears and a
throat that is like marble column
for her head.
She must know how to put on her
clothes or she loses half her beauty.
She must fully understand what
best suits her in the way OF hair dress
ing and cling closely to that.
A woman may have all these at
fractions and unless her own person
alities is charming, unless she has
tact, it dawns on you, after you have
seen her once OF twice. that she is not
pretty woman, but pretty DOLL

Il want to say" said Mr.. Northrop,
that don't have much faith in patent
medicines, but cannot say too much
in praise of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
The proprietors, however. claim that
they are not n patent medicine in the
sense in which that term is used, but
highly scientific preparation, the re.
suit of years of careful study and ex-
pertinent on the part of the proprie.
tors. and the pills were successfully
used in private practice for years be-
fore being placed for general sale. Mr..
Northrop declares that he is i living
example that there is nothing to equal
these pills as cure for nerve diseases.
On inquiry the writer found that these
pills were manufactured by DR.. Will
Jams Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont. j,
and Schenectady, n. Y. and the pills
are sold in boxes, (never in bulk by the
hundred) ut so cents box, and may
be had of all druggists or directly by
mail from DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
from either above addresses. The price
at which these pills are sold makes

them comparatively inexpensive as
compared with other rem
edies. or medical treatment. This case
is one of the most remarkable on
record and as it is one right here in
Detroit and not thousand miles away,
it can be easily verified. Mr.. Northrop
is very we'll known to the people Of
Detroit. and he says he is only too glad
to testify of the marvellous good
wrought in his case: He says he con-
siders it his DUTY to help all who are
similarly afflicted by any word he can

Teaching Welsh,

1t takes a Welshman to talk Welsh.
Few foreigners are able to pronounce
the Welsh II. The author OF "York-
shire Folk-talk" tells an amusing
story of an Englishman's struggles to
master that difficult sound.
The Englishman had been appoint
ed to the Welsh see OF St. David, and
on taking up his abode in Wales, en-
gagged native Welsh scholar to give
him instruction in the language.
The pronunciation, and especially
the II, bothered the bishop, and the
Welshman was almost at his wits
end to explain the lingual process by
which. the formidable sound was to be
uttered.
At last a bright thought struck him,
and being very obsequious in manner,
he thus addressed the bishop:
"Your Lordshipmust please to put
your episcopal tongue to the roof OF
your apostolic mouth, and then hiss
like goose"

A LADY BLACKSMITH,
Fay Beveridge of San Francisco
Runs a Forge,

RunS Forge,
"Vulcan in petticoats; or, the Lady
Blacksmith" is the title OF the story
that might be written OF Miss Fay
Beveridge, OF San Francisco. Miss
Beveridge is an art student who has
gone int o wrought iron, and has set
up forge and bellows OF her own.
With her arms barred like any black
smith, pair OF old boots on her feet
to protect them from grit, and in an
old skirt this young woman breaks up
coal, starts her fire, blows it to a
proper heat, and, in brief, pursues her
trade like any man: She naturally
chooses the sort of work according to
her strength. At present she is MAX
ing q speciality OF iron brackets,
stands and other ight articles. What
she hopes to accomplish is a
school and shop OF ornamental
wrought iron for women believing
that for the work in wrought iron now
in vogue women might have special
aptitude. This has o delicacy akin
to that of jewelers. work. One of the
prettlest fantasies in wrought iron is
a bell and bell pull in William d.
Salone's country house at Lenox.
The bell hangs outside of his study
door, which is In q separate wing.
The bell is wreathed with roses, and
q garland that has broken loose and
hangs down in leaves and blossoms
is the bell pull This is Swiss work, but
there is no reason why fancy could
not take so graceful a form in
wrought iron in this country.-N. Y.
