GEN. BURTON ADVANCED.
States Army, with Headquarters
ut Washington.

Gen. George III. Burton has received
his commission as inspector general
of the army and entered actively on
the discharge of the duties of that Of
fee. He has been stationed at Gov
ernor's Island, N. T., for several
months past as Inspector general of
the department of the east.
Inspector General Burton was born
in Delaware, and wss graduated from
the West Point military academy in
the class of 1865. As an infantry Off
Ger he served under Gen. Stoneman
three years in the south in reconstruc-
ton times, and was in the Indian coun-
try on the extreme frontier nearly IA
years. He was actively engaged in the
Modoc, Nez Perez and Bannock Indian
wars, and was breveted major for dis
tinguished conduct at the battles of
the north fork Of the Clear Water,
Idaho, and at Capt. Jacks Caves, in
the lava beds Of northern California.
In 1855 he was promoted major in the
inspector generals department by
President Cleveland Tor meritorious
service with his regiment. Since then
he has served almost continuously west
of the Mississippi riser and in Cuba
One notable event OF his service it
Cuba was the unearthing of the frauds
in the postal affairs Of the island. He
carries with him ripe experience for
the fulfillment Of the duties required
in his new sphere, ard is probably q,
well equipped for the position OF in
spector general as any other officer IN
the department.

TWINS FROM COREA.
They Are More Vigorous Than
Their Siamese Predecessors.
AIso Have More Freedom Of Motios
and Stronger Mentaltty-Have
Learned English with As
tonishd ng. Rapidly.

The appearance in this country of
the Corean twins, rs they are termed,
has caused them to be the subject of
considerable study among scientists
who were familiar with the Siamese
twins, who attracted such attention
when first exhibited in the United
States. Compar isons have also been
female twins upon whom the operation
was performed in Paris few years
ago. The latter were also exhibited
in the United States, but, as will be re-
meinbered, the health of one was SO
affected that it was deemed necessary
to separate the natural band which
held them together in order to save
the life of the healthier child. The
twin who was afflicted with consump-
ton died after the operation, but ac-
cording to the latest reports from
France, the girl who lived has entirely
recovered, and apparently is in excel
lent, health. It may be added that she
has been adopted by the French sur
geoa who officiated at the operation.
Physicians and others who have ex-
amined the Coreans are of the opin-
ion that they bid fair to live much
longer than the Siamese, as they are
acti-e and vigorous, and thus far have
had no ailment of consequence. Lao
Toun-Chen and Liao-Sien-Ne-Chen, as
will be noted by the accompanying
photograph, have typical oriental fea-
lures, and might be taken for Chinese,
but they were born in Corea. They
are little over IL years old, aud well
developed for their age, having no
notable physical imperfection except
the band which connects them. AS
in the case of the girl twins, each has
all Of the usual organs, and it is the
opinion of eminent surgeons that they
could be separated if desired, with
little danger of fatality. Liao-Toun-

AMERICA rs DOOMED.
Famous Yacht, First Cup Winner,
to Be Broken Up.
Piece. of the Celebrated Craft Will
BE semitic Yachtsmen All Over
the WOrld-HistOry of Ohe
Great Race of 1851.

A calamity is about to befall the
yachting world the gallant old
America, which won the Americas cup
in 1851, is to be broken up. She is no
longer seaworthy and her owner, Con-
gresham Butler Ames, of Boston, will
have the boat taken to pieces. The
different parts will be distributed to
yachtsmen all over the world. The
last time the old boat was in commits
sion was the day the Defender won
the deciding race of the series Of 1895
and sent the Valkyrie III, defeated
boat, back across the Atlantic.
For more than half century the
brave old hulk has fought battles with
the sea. She was built in 1851 by Gov
ernor Steers for John c. Stevens.
stevens had very fast yacht, which
he believed was the finest afloat, called
the Maria. This Maria had long,
hollow bow, and Steers fell in love
with its model. but believed he could
improve on it. So he offered to build
the America for Stevens, and Stevens
offered to buy the America from Steers
at his own price. if it was better than
the Maria. Nothing could be fairer
than this, and Steers set to work on
this arrangement. The America was
built and was beauty, but she was,
nevertheless, at first failure; for she
was expressly built to beat the Maria,
but instead of this the Maria beat her,
and so Stevens would not take her.
The America was sold to five men,
two of whom were members of Mr..
Stevens family, and they took her to
England on cruise. The party ar
rived in the Salient in 1851, "Exhibi-
ton year"
A cup had been offered, valued at
$500. for the winner of race around
the Isle of Wight. open to any vessel,
of any rig, of any nation, without time
allowance. The America was entered.
Pitted against her were "A yachts, the

DAYS. Ii is situated 80 miles above Nor
folk and Newport News, on the James
river, and is about 20 miles below Rich
mond. Old inha bitants say that it has
shrunken within generation, but that
it has now an area of 100 acres. 1t IL
two and a half miles long. and only lit
tie more than half a mile in width,
From the main shore it is separated by
a narrow stream and some marshy low
land. over which there is low wooden
bridge. The whole place looks "old-
timey."
The island is as barren of civiliza ton
as PALMYRA of the desert, and the only
evidences Of its former teeming habi-
tation are the walls Of the Amber
mansion-house, and the pitiful piece OF
tower OF the first Protestant church
built of brick in the new world. These
objects Of interest were pointed out by
. young colored woman from the
mainland, who also directed the trav-
eler to the screened little acreage sur
rounding the relics of the church and
the long neglected cemetery. There
are NO pictures of these interesting OBJ
iects. but the tower is like any ordi-
nary old tower, and the mansion
remains are composed Of the small
bricks imported in those early days;
about half of the size Of modern bricks.
The mansion is said to have been built
with bricks which were formerly used
in official and ancient structures. Ira
ditiop has it that in this old mansion
there resided woman who declined
the honor Of marriage with George
Washington.
If this be true she must have almost
hated herself afterwards when George
became .sfirst in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts of his countrymen. .
There is an association of ladies'
known as an association For the Pre-
seryation Of Virginia Antiquities .
and it is this association which has sur
rounded these sole relics with wire
fences and thick wire screens. These
ladies' took this step only six years
ago; rather late in the day for the pre-
,ervat:on OF these antiquities, for hogs,
wild and tame, and other cattle have
browsed about the tower and the walls
and over the graves Of the cemetery for
many, many years.
The ladies employ custodian, but
he was not on duty when the narrator
called. He is said to reside in little
shanty there which is surrounded By
heavy earthworks thrown up 10 odd
years ago by confederate soldiers. By
his absence he lost one fee Of ten cents.
which he Is allowed to charge as part
Of his compensation for living there in
the midst OF squalor, dirt, malaria and
musty "reminiscences.

RELICS OF VIRGINIA.
To Be Preserved by q Society Of
Patriotic Women.
Especial Washington letter.

LlV Y IRGINLANS are proud of
v every chapter in the history
OF their state says Senator
Daniels. ''There are some paragraphs
in some Of the chapters which are not
30 brilliant as others; but, on the
whole we are proud of every chapter
in our history"
The occasion calling forth the re-
mark is the fact that Virginia is grow
ing old, and has history of almost 800
years. On the 25th of May will occur
the anniversary of the landing OF Capt.
John Smith and his Observation-Disclosures
upon the soil of Virginia, and the be-
ginning of the permanent establish
ment of the first white colony in this
republic of ours.
On May IS, 1907, now 2e6 years agone,
Jamestown island was occupied and
preparations begun for town building.
This was 10 years before the landing
of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, so there
can be no doubt that this was the first
permanent white settlement upon the
land which now constitutes the United
States of America.
There are upwards of $4,000 Virgins
ians residing in the national capital,
making their livings as federal Office
holders. That is to say, that some 5000
ofice-holders from Virginia support
colony of $4,000 people, all of them in
tensely loyal to their state, and proud
of their lineage. Some 20 wears ago
there began an annual exodus from
Washington to jamestown to celebrate
the anniversary; and there will be no
hiatus in this procedure. The pilgrim
ages will begin two days.before the an
niversary, tens of thousands of Virgin
ians will visit jamestown, but the prin-
cipal celebration this year will be in
Richmond.
In order to describe this ancient To-
cality The writer went to Jamestown
island, the trip occupying only two
