THOSE FAMILIAR WITH THE
FACTS REFUSE TO TALK

1t is not an improbablity that appiica-
ton for a charter will soon be made
by a number Of capitalists interested in
the establishment OF a new and extern
sive ship-yard at Richmond From what
can be learned the proposed yards VIII
rival those of any on the continent, and
will contest for the construction OF YES
United States service.
Those who are in a position to give
information are exceedingly reticent, but
some of the plans proposed have found
their way in current rumor, and are be-
ing freely discussed. From what can
be learned it appears that tulton IS
the place decided upon for the location
of these yards, and that it is the out
growth of the scheme in which it was
originally proposed TO adapt Mayo's Is
land for the establishment Of such a
plant.
NORTHERN CAPITAL.

posed. 1t is intimated that the firm of
Charlblir & Scott, the owners and ope-
rators of the Richmond Iron Works, will
take a most active part. but this rumor
could not be verified
The site of the proposed new shipyards
will be near Fulton. From all that can
be learned. ii appears that there are sew
eral sites under consideration. One Of
these, IT is stated, is where the old Fulton
brewery was located. This property has a
frontage of considerably over a thousand
feet on the river, and good water. 1t Is
asserted that with comparatively little
dredging an excellent basin can be Sc
cured. and that better facilities for launch-
ing boats of Light or heavy draught could
not be found along the James this side
of Newport News.
THE ADVANTAGES.
While the advantages Of such site can
be readily seen whether this site has been
selected is the question One gentleman,
who has knowledge of the plans Of tf1e
promoters of the project, said last night,
when asked who owned the property in
question. replied, We'll, that would be a
pretty difficult matter to determine just
now He. however. refused TO say
whether any negotiations were in pro
gress looking towards the purchase or
transfer of the property.
Though the majority of rumors that are
now IN circulation are vague as to their
origin yet one thing seems sure that
Richmond's chances of having another
silipyard are not so poor.

The manufacturers of CastOria have
been compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiariZe the
public with the signature Of Chas. H.
Fletcher. This has been neceSSitated
by reason Of pirates cOunterfeiting
the CaStOria trademark. This
cOunterfeiting is a crime not only
against the prOprietors of CastOria.
but against the growing generation.
All persons should be careful to see
that CastOria bears the signature of
Chas: II. Fletcher, if they would
guard the health Of their children.
Parents, and mothers in particular,
ought to carefully examine the
CaStoria advertisements which have
been appearing in this paper, and to
remember that the wrapper Of every

Fletcher, under whose supervision it
has been manufactured continuously
