THE lime WONT PAY.
WILL NOT ESTABLISH NEWPORT
NEWS-SUFEOLK LINE.


Mr.. f. E. Bennett was seen yesterday
by representative OF the Virginian-
Pilot with reference to the report pub
lished in the Newport News papers that
he had arranged to put on steamboat
to ply between that city and Suffolk.
lie said:
Where did they get this information?
We have have no idea of establishing Il
Suffolk and Newport News Line. l went
over to Newport News and viewed the
field, and came to the conclusion that
1t could not be made to pay. There are
no wholesale houses ut Newport News.
and while truck from Nansemend
might be sold there, q steamboat line
must have freiGh; and passengers both
ways, and Suffolk has no wholesale
houses to furnish business from that
end of the line. You can say that we
have no idea Of engaging In that en-
terprise.
Our steamers will pay us better run
ming between Norfolk and the towns
and landings on the Albemarle and
Chesapeake Canal and the Carolina
rivers. Running steamboats, is an eN
pensive business. One of our smallest
freight steamers cost from So to $40
per day. We handle freight on an av-
eraSc ut 81 90 per ton. You can see that
there would have to be handled between
Suffolk end Newport News about 40
tons of freight each trip
MIR. Bennett says that business Is
good at present. trade having picked
up considerably of late between Nor
folk and Eastern Carolina

M,,.on's unrivo,,ea Tribute to WON.

When Milton wrote those words
which stand unrivalled as q tribute to

heaven in her eyes: in adj her gestures.
dignity and love-" he did not have in
mind Il weak. nervous, sickly, nerve-eX-
hauStcd and pain-racked woman suf-
fering from female complaints. but one
in the glow of perfect health and
strength. To be a perfect wife or
mother every woman should first of all
see that she is In good health. This Is
certainly not difficult at the present
day. when such an eminent specialist
in the treatment of female diseases as
DIR. Greene, of 50 West Nth street, New
York City. who undoubtedly has the
largest practice and the greatest sue
cess in curing all forms of female weak
ness and diseases, can be consulted free
and his advice and counsel obtained by
any woman absolutely without charge
either by calling or writing about her
case. From his enormous experience
he knows just how to cure your COM
plants. just how to advise you, and he
uses only harmless vegetable medicines,
which are wonderful in soothing. heal
ing, strengthening and inVigorating the
female system. Ono of his grand dis
coveries, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, is known and used
all over the world. and he has discover
cd many other medicines no less mar
Vicious in their curative effects. No wo-
man afflicted with female troubles or
who is out OF health in any way, should
hesitate to write about her case To Dr.
Greene. and she will get. free of charge.
Information and advice which is almost
sure to lead to her complete restoration
