We look back twenty years
and there was really no New

most prospectus city in all this
land. with its great railroad ter

Its shipment Of grain is great,
being greatly ahead OF its sister
city, Norfolk, Va.
Look, if you please, at its
growth ! Ten years ago it NUNS

yond twenty thousand.
1t has in its limits churches

all these things that advance

There is no necessity of any
person to be idle, as work has
no limit here.
All over our city we can see
the most modern structures of
architecture, and all about us
ate continually going to compile
ton manufacturing plants of
various kinds.
All accommodation of electric
car service can be had here. The
Newport News, Ocean View &
Old Point electric road is the
finest equipped in the State. The
beautiful scenery along the route
is pleasant, and upon going to
Old Point one can enter the fort
and there view the Chesapeake
as far as the natural eye can see.
Then take a reversed view and
see the great disappearing ar

both Norfolk and Newport News

Leaving the fort we reach the

Hamptonian is proud Of to this
day. Respectfully,

TO PREVENT FRAUD
 IN THE ELECTION
Superintendent McCuIIagh Ad-
 dress New York Police.
HE POINTS OUT THEIR DUTY
Calls Attention to the Numerous Places Where Illegal Voters Are Regis tered, and Demand They be
 Fully Investigated

New York, October 7.-John McCullagh, State superintendent of elections for the metropolitan district, today sent out sev- eral letters to the authorities of this city, touching on the coming elections In let ter to Chief of Police Devery, MT. MoCul. lagh calls that officials attention to the fact that the days of registration will fall on October 12, 13, 19 and 20, and says:
 The past experiences of this department demonstrates very clearly that the sources of the debauchment of the franchise in the city of New York are chiefly found In the pool rooms, gambling houses, disorderly houses, houses of prostitution, saloons run under the guise of hotels in order to evade the provisions of the excise law, and dives of even baser sort"
 MT. McCullagh then at some length de- tails the successful prosecution of illegal voters after the elections of November, 1899, and calls attention to the fact that evi- dences in these cases showed that they were engineered by persons having official connection with the city government, and that the illegal voters were drawn from the sources quoted in the abstract of the letters given above. He then says that he has lately caused investigation to be made of such resorts In the city of New York, and has In his possession sworn affidaNts establishing violations of almost every pro- vision of law and ordinances relating to such places.
 From the evidence that has come into my possession I am convinced that an or- ganized attempt Is being made to colonize votes for the next election, and from these plaees.'
 MT McCullagh then submits the ad- dresses of over 200 saloons or other resorts alleged to be of the character mention,e, and says that if prompt action Is not taken by Chief Devery in suppressing these re- sorts he will invoke the aid of the State au- thorities, who are specifically empowered by law to proceed in these matters He also calls the attention of the chief to the law which directs the officers to investigate name registered and penalty for the ne- glect of such duty. His letter closes with a demand that the chief and the members of his command shall give to the superin- tendent all aid in their power. This com munication to the chief is followed by an- other to each police captain, which prac- tically covers the same ground and also similar letter to Mayor Van Wyck.

BERLIN MARKET
Developments in Chinese Situation Had
 Good H. rduence

Berlin, October 7.-Infiuenced by the lat- est diplomatic events in China, and by ne remarkable ease of the money market, the it has had for months. The fact that for eign powers regarded the China situation l as more favorable had great weight with operators The fall of one-half per cent in private discount on Monday and Tuesday acted favoraby upon the market and this influence was maintained until Friday, when the rate rose one-eighth.
 The so-called New York treasures gained 35 cents, the demand continuing above the supply, and Chinese loans gained to 4 points. Coal and iron shares rose rapidly until Friday. notwithstanding the gloomy reports from the iron centers. The weak ness of the iron situation is apparently growing, some reductions In wages and dis charges of operatives having been reported during the week.
 Manufacturers of structural iron in Ger many are trying to find relief for the dull ness of the home market by undertaking Belgian manufacturers.
 l The coal situation remains strong, but the opinion prevails that the scarcity will be soon be over.
 The syndicate has decided to raise prices in the case of few grades after April Ger man cokers are offering coke at Liege cheaper than the Belsians. A cargo of New River coal, 2OOO tons, has reached Antwerp for the upper Rhine, where the prices will be 27s4 marks.
 The president of the Deutsche Bank, pr. Won Stems, predicts that the object of the recent loan, which was to bring gold from New York will be defeated. He says also that the greater part of the loan will soon be brought back by Germany, inasmuch as the quotations here Is already higher than | in New York.

HOT SPRINGS HAD
 6O,OOO VISITORS
Interesting Report Submitted to
 Secretary of Interior.
GOVERNMENT RESERVATION
Superintendent Eisele Makes Some Suggestions-Free Baths of Great Benefit to Indigent Sufferers.
 The Hot Bath Fiend

Washington, October 7.-An interesting report on the Hot Springs Reservation In Arkansas has been submitted to the Sec retary of the Interior by the superintend- ent Martin A Eisee. MT. Eisele says that the springs during the past season reached the high water mark of popularity. According to the best estimates there were 5000 visitors during the season. The in- come to the government from water and ground rents amounted to S1S,670, while the fixed charges were only about $l4,0OO, leav- ing fair balance, which, in accordance with the liberal. policy of the government, was available for additional improvements in tho reservation.
 The reservation includes 011 acres, and in this tract there are 167 government lots still unsold. The superintendent says the sale of these lots which have been ap- praised at $5.000, would go far toward hav- ing the money necessary in perfecting the work of park improvement now going for ward, and he earnestly recommends re- of the lots during March, 1901, when the influx of visitors to the springs is at it's height.
 hhe Tree government patn mousse mas grown to be a most important institution and of great benefit to the indigent suf- ferers who otherwise would not have the benefit of the waters. The record of this establishment for the past year shows 60S applications for free baths, of which only 26 were refused for various reasons. The total number of single free baths given. was 169,03O at a net cost of L5c per bath. One of the curious features oS the free bath patrons noted in the report is that there are bath fiends who have a morbid craving for the treatment much the same as the craving for drugs and whisky among other inebrates. This class is consid- erable annoyance to the management.

Your correspondent was informed yester- day by a planter who lives in Bibb Coun- ty, but who recently carried cotton to SeI- ma, that the price paid for cotton in Cen treville was higher than the price paid in the Central City.
 Quite a number of people from various parts of the state have visited Centre vile this summer to drink the water of the famous mineral springs about two miles from Centreville. All of them say that they were very much improved by the water. Those who are familiar with Tate Springs water say that the water from this spring Is fully equal to the water from Tate Springs. The springs property has been leased to a company for period of five years and extensive preparations will be made to accommodate the crowds next season.
