The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best

subject Ii easier and betterto prevent
than to cure. It has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one OF the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, can be prevented
by the use of Chamberlain Cough Rene

cold ORION an attack ofinfuenza (grip)

counteracts any tendency Of these dis
eases toward pneumonia This has been
tuily proven in mauy thousands of cases
IN which this remedy has been used du
ring the great prevalence of colds aud
grip in recent years, and can he relied up
on with implicit confidence Pneumonia
often results from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sudden

THE CLAM INDUSTRY.
Great Demand At Fine Prices For
The Eastern Shore Product.

In many places on both the hav and
seaside OF the Eastern Shore where ths
natural rocks in the Baylor survey have
become depleted and barren of oysters an

duced
Tears ago the clam was caught only in
muddy bottom. and it wss supposed
that muddy substance was necessary
for them to thrive, but in the past few
years 1t has been proven that a clam will
grow on u sandy bottom. There are
two kinds OF clans on the market-.he
muddy clam and the sand" clam
There Is practically no difference except
their color, the muddy" clam being
lark aud the sand" clam light colored
Alter the disappe arance of oysters the
oystermen began to gather clans as a
livelihood Those that clam" make good
wages II being not rare thing for a clam
satherer to earn 50 to S. a day.
The clans formerly would bury them
selves in the mud about four inches deem
but now they are found in abu1 dance on

scrape the bottom. and in few months
the same bottom II ready to be scraped
again. lt seems that the tong does NOT

The CLAIMS are scraped for in winter from
TO 10 feet deep, sometimes in 2O.foot
water.
The supply of clans seems inexhausti.
Ole CLAIMS are eneverplanted. They come
out OF the mud aud bottom.
With the development of the industry

Shore clans are now sold the year around
IN all the principal markets The price
paid To the clamers at local water points
Is from 81 To - per 900. Two years
ago any quantity could be purch ased for

the advance in price is that they are be-

from London says:
The most interesting and attractive
figure at Claridge's is Mrs Mamie Lang
horne-Shaw, of Albemarle county, Va.
who after her divorce is having a good
time with ler mother and a girl friend.
Mrs. Shaw is pointed out everywhere as
one OF the models of the Gibson girl q
type now as famous in Europe as it is in
the United States
Since they landed they have been max
ing the rounds of the smart restaurants
and plays, while the morning sees the
whole party up for an early breakfast
and shopping in Dover and Bond streets
with an energy unknown to the average
English girl. At the opening OF Parlia.

will pass the next four months in Europe

Nearly Million Dollars for Distribu
ton and Much of IL to go to Fau-
quier County.

Information has been received in Eau
quier county that some well-known resi-.
dents OF that county will soon come into
possession OF a fortune which in the sg-
gregate is nearly a million dollars. The
money is now with the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington, awaiting the final
details OF the distributions, and will be
paid out as soon AS all the heirs entitled
TO share 1.-THE funds can be ascertained.
The fortune is the result of the settle
ment OF claim of the heirs against the
French government, which claim was
contracted in the last century and is
known as the Hamilton Spoliation Claim.
Among the Fauquier heirs are Jas. w.
Kern, and his two sisters, of Valley City.
North Dakota, Mrs. A. Z. Glynn, proprie-
tor Hotel kindred, and Mics Katie C.
Kern, and Mrs Reid, of Hume.
This claim grew out of the seizure OF
5000 barrels OF -four valued at $23 per
barrel by the French during the French
Spanish trouble of 1S00-1S03 The -four
was the property of John Hamilton and
was seized by n French man-of-war on
the high seas. Hamilton at once laid his
claim before the U. S. government, which
sought to recover from the French gov
eminent. Like all of the spoliation claims
against France, the official red tape OBJ
structed a quick settlement and the mat
ter has been permitted to lie unsatisfied
in the archives OF the U. S. government,
although Hamilton's heirs have for al
most a century sought a settlement.
The claim was some time ago passed
by the Court of Claims, after France had
made the settlement and as the matter
now stands. all that is necessary is to
obtain list of the heirs with view OF
securing the pro rata proportion OF each
heir. The original claim was for $1S4.
600, but with the interest added it will
reach nearly million dollars.
There are II heirs in all among which
the claim is to be distributed, and they
are located from New York to California.
w. III. Taylor, of Winchester, is admins
traitor for 81 OF the I heirs.

Gen. Lee In Statuary Hall.

Ii is to be regretted that the vote by
which the Halsey bill, in relation to Gen.
Lees statue in Statuary Hall, passed in
the Senate was not unanimous. But it
is well that the Senate was not deferred
by the the dissenting votes from passing
the measure. 1t is no concern of Virginia
whetherthe selection II Lee to represent
the State in Statuary Hall pleases other
peopie or not 1t is sufficient that it
pleases us. Were it otherwise, the invi-
tation should have designated the per-
son whose statue was desirable, and not
lett 1t matter OF choice to Virginia.
