TRANSPORTATION
To Be Made IN Surroundings OF
Hampton Roads.
Changes at Old Point Comfort
Will Make 1t Famous
the World over.

Some of the summer visitors who
bave drifted back from Old Poinl
Comfort tring Information of a
great transformation which is to be
made in the sand.dunes and mead
ows surrounding the historic
Hampton Roads.
The report goes that the Hy-
geia Hotel and the Chamberlain
have both been purchased by a
Syndicate of New York aud Wash
ington capitalists and the story is
that the Government will expend
50, 100000, beginning in the coming
winter, to make Hampton Roads
the greatest naval and military
station in the world. 1t is now the
finest and largest harbor in the
world. The plans of the Govern
ment contemplate the establish
meut there of large naval and mill
itary schools of instruction, to sue
coed the present comparatively
small artillery school in Fortress
Monroe. 1t said that the station
will be Of such magnitude that over
800 officers Of the army and navy
will be regularly stationed there
the year round, and that detach.
ments of cadets from West Point
and Annapolis will be constantly
at the point for instruction. The
lessons at the point will be reg
ular part of the academic course,
just ac the pleb camp and the train
ing cruise now are. 1t is said also
that special arrangements will be
made in the roads for the dccommo-
dation of foreign warships and
ships. A special station
will be established for the instruc-
ton of naval officers and cadets in
the operation OF submarines, the
wide, looked stretch of the
roads forming a perfect field for the
use of these newest naval defense
vessels. 9b sk
The capitalists who have got
of the Hygeia and
Chamberlin are said to have had
the tip on the coming improve
ments long in advance of the pub
lie. The Chamberlin, beginning
this winter, will be open the year
around, and the Hygeia will be
connected with the new hotel, so
that summer guests IN the Cham
berlin may have direct access to
the Hygeia beach.

Clement Scott, 10 his paper, the
London Free Lance, gives prom
in,u 20 the following
"The true story of Empress
Frcderck's death has just been
published. Ilearn from the best
source that the unfortunate and
truly heroic lady suffered the
greatest agony before her demise.
She was afflicted with no less than
seventeen cancers. Her piteous
cries for days before her last mo-
ments were heard all around the
castle, which Her Majesty had
erected in memory of her beloved
husband, aud it was only by means
of powerful narcotics that our
Princess Royal, second only to
Queen Victoria 10 greatness and
goodness. obtained relief The
statement that she passed away
peacefully is true 10 a sense, for
the Empress died insensible to the
cares Of this world"

Married BY Proxy.

Two royal widows, Maria Pia,
Queen Dowager of Portugal, and
Maria Sophia, ex.Queeu of Naples,
share the distinction of having been
married by proxy to their respec-
tive husbands, in accordance with
custom which has now become a
thing Of the past, says Modern So
ciety. A King or heir-apparent
used to be considered too valuable
to be allowed much foreign travel,
and too high and mighty to a-woo-
ing in person, The brides family
would also stand on their dignity,
and not allow their illustrious
Princess to leave her home and
country before a ceremony of mar
riage had made it proper for her to
take such AN extreme preceding.
The pair, therefore, would be man
and wife-sovereign and consort
rather-in name, while personal
strangers, only acquitted with
each other through the medium of
portraits and reports.

in all who have been permitted to
see It.
The child frog was born few
days ago to lady of that neigh
borhood The birth was prema-

was taken by Dr. Heberer, who
has preserved it in alcohol as one
of the curiosities developed by
nature in her freakish moods. A
Journal-News representative was
permitted to see the strange Great

report had reported it The body
is that Of a well developed child,

every way, the limbs, hands and
feet being perfect. The freakish
character is developed in the head

presentation of the anterior portion
of frog The features are those
of a frog, while the head is shaped
similarly to those of an animal OF
that species. The eyes are per

covered by drooping lids. The top

hair at all on any portion OF the
head, while the top aud back parts
consist of hardened, dark-colored,
bory structure like that of the
