business houses along the principal
streets are being remodeed and many
are being replaced by entirely new struct-
ures. Among the latter, and which per-

the city, is the Lee Building. It occupies
the same site that was used for forty or
more years. in an old antlquated struct-
urc, by the well-known firm Of j. "A Lee
and later by j. A. Lee and Son.
Recently. however. and since its erec-

late r. M. Bateman occupied it for
several months. carrying an immense
stock of dry goods and groceries, but on
his recent northern trip contracted pneu-
mona, to which he succunbed not long
after his return. Just five days later,
his wife followed him to the grave with
the same malady, thus closing the house
for more than a month. In due time,
however, the house was reopened. and is

UPPERNILLE, VA. June 4.-Nestled
at the foot of the Blue Ridge. in tho
Piedmont Section of Virginia, is the lit
tie town of Upperville. that most prob
ably can boast Of having the oldest Horse
Show in the United States.
Esta blished in 1853, with Col. r. H.
Dulany as its president, 1t was conducted
successfully until the breaking out of the
war, when all enjoyments had to BIO
abandoned and those who had Won aur-
els at the show must shoulder Their mus
kets in defense of home and fireside.
Reorganized in 1890, Col r. II. Dulany,
the former president, was again chosen
unanimously as Its head, and Capt. P. S.
Grelnauer was elected secretary and
treasurer, which position he has filled SO
worthlly, that up to the present time, a
period of fourteen years, no change has
been made in this office. The Coloners
fair and unbiased rulings have won for
him the high respect of all who know
him, and by his untlrlng efforts and those
OF his able and efficient corps OF assis-
tants, the show ranks second to none OF
to-day.
It originated with desire and pur-
pose to improve the breed OF horses In
his bluegrass section, and has accom-
pshed that end to the fullest extent,
and has also created a market that brings
country.

Last year the entry list exceeded 400,

former years. as the entries are rapidly
coming in; the erection Of a grand stand
with a seating capacity Of 1000 and the
building of new stables In the grounds,
together with the natural advantages Of
shade and water and the unbounded
Virginia hospitality have brought visi-

adjoining counties. but from other States,
Including Maryland, West Virginia, KEN

was once the home OF man. and boast
ed some degree of civilization. This is
made apparent by the discoveries of
prOspectors who recently penetrated
an unexplored portion Of the valley.
In trying to- enter a small canyon
at the northeast extremity of the VAL
ley, they found their way blocked by
a wall of masonry which extended en-
t1rely across the canyon to a height of
about ninety feet The wall had crum-
bled in places and showed signs of
centuries OF wear, but In the main 1t
stood as built. ~
The men .clambered up the sides of
the canyon till they reached the top of
the massive wall, which there has a
thickness of thirty feet It is about
three times as thick at the base. It
was evidently built as a dana to catch
the water which descended from the
mountains during the rainy season, for
investigation disclosed an ancient canal
leading out Of the valley to the plain.
Along the sides OF the canyon. above
the level of the masonry, were shallow
caves, evidently followed out by the
hand of man. Across the front of each
of these were wallis Of adobe brick of
rude workmanship Indicating that, the
dam was also a wall of defense, for no
enemy could scale the walls of the cam
yon or the wall of masonry in the face
of even weak opposition.
In some of the cave homes were
found broken pottery and rude imple-
ments hammered out Of copper, a vein
of which the prospectors found at the
head of the canyon, with ancient work
fngs. showing where the natives Sc
cured their supply.

MAKES A FORTUNE OUT
OF THE CREDULOUS
Queen of New York seers" Amasses
$4,000 in Ten Years.

NEW YORK, May I. = When the
queen of New York fortune teIlerS''
was arrested the other day the evil
denee against her showed that she de-
served the name. 1t brought out that
in her ten years of practice she has
amassed a fortune of $780, 600 by rend-
Ing the veil of the future for credu-
lous women. Had she confined her
self to the mystic labors3 of a seer she
might have gone on forever, for the
police here do not interfere with for
tune tellers. Her fall came when, ac-
eording to the charges, she attempted
to practice medicine without license.
A woman detective employed by the
New York Medical society visited the
queen" whose mama aiS Eliza Reid,
and claimed to have lost $1e.000. The
fortune teller promised to see to 1t
that the money was returned In three
days, and for her services exacted a
fee of $500, which was to be paid be-
fore the mysterious lost money was
returned. Then the detective said that
she had severe pains in her side, and
the fortune teller fell into the trap.
For an additional fee she prescribed a
medicine which, under analysis, proved
to be milk and rock candy The arrest
followed.
1t is estimated that there are over
1000 female ''vodoos" In this city, and
they all seem to get on very comforta-
bly,. Nfnety-five per cent Of their bust
