Grand Marine Parade
At the jamestown Fair
Features Planned for Celebration
of Three-1undredth Anniversary of Plant
ing First English Colony in America.

The proposed exposition to D. held in
Hampton Roads in 1907 viii be. in many
respects. the most interesting of ali the
worlds fairs. 1t will commemorate the
3o0th anniversary Of the first perma-
nent English settlement I'm America.
This great fair will be known as the
jamestown exposition. II will be desig-
mated officially as the jamestown Ter
centenary and Naval and Marine Elk
hibition.
1t Will commemorate the birth Of the
nation, just as the Philadelphia Cen
tenniaI commemorated the birth Of the
Government But the jamestown Tx
position will differ from any Of its pred
ecessors, not less in the Importance
Of the event it will celebrate than in the
unique manner Of tbs celebration. As
the name implies. one OF the great
features OF the exposition will be a
naval and marine exhibition. That, in
deed, will be the predOminating fea-
ture.
The exposition of Industrial arts will
not be forgotten There will be all Of
the best that is at St Louis there. and
all the progress made during the years
that shall pass between the two expo
sitiOns VIII be represented.
The Marine Exhibit.
The marine exhibition will be unique
feature and one that promises to be
the greatest drawing card in the history
Of expositions. It has never been adopt
ed before. because the locations Of al
the expeditions have not been such that
il could be used.
Not so at jamestown. There IS Hamp-
ton Roads. where the navies of the
world ard it's commerce could ride in
safety And here the President Of the
United States will invite the navies
and the merchant marine Of the world

Interesting Talk to Charity Workers on

last night 70 the volunteer charity

address was ''Tramps and the CondI-
tions That Make Them" a subject
which the speaker is qualified to deal
with because Of his long and practical
experience with the work OF caring for
the homeless IN the large cities.

The ranks OF trampdom," ne said,
"are filled IN great many instances by
the country boy. who. finding that farm
life does not offer 70 him the field that
his ambition longs for. turns the fancics
OF his day dreams TO the metropolis
Such a boy, having, perhaps, within
himself the raw material out Of when
great men are made, but laboring un-
der the tremendous handicap OF his rural
manners, seeks in vain for the fortune
he had pictured for himself in the great
city. In short he becomes a tramp"
Mr.. GlascOn said that statistics given
By Chief Taylov Of the railroad police
Of the Pennsylvania west of Pittsburg,
showed that there were approximately
10000 tramps in this country. He de
clared that the only logical remedy for
the evil lay in an absolute refusal OF
assistance by the individual citizen. He
insisted that all applicants should Ss

ton. which would understand how 10

age was from eighteen 10 tweuty-four
years. there had been very few over
thirty. and but ten over forJy-fye

Brigham Young, like his Athenian
prototype, was formative in his ideas.
He was a masculine man. He was In
stinctively an architect, builder,
creator. He loved to plan houses, TO
organize industries, to provide for the
erection of mills and factories. The
overland railroad and telegraph lines
through Utah and the great irrigatlng
canals were constructed under his lead
ership. He would tolerate no sighting
or inefficient work. Every stone In the
great ten million dollar Mormon tenn
Die was cut to exactly fit its place.
While a part of the foundation was
being laid the Mormon leader was 40
sent. On his return he visited the work
and noticed a mason placing "spalIs.

it. Beneath the velvet glove was the
grip of steel. He was the Cromwel!
of his people, the Lord Protector OF
his realm. He had the same desire as

of his creed and clan; the same IN

would go forth to their labors IN the

saw that "the Pilgrim fathers first fell

Under Brigham Young's direction the
education of the children of Titan ex-
tended to morals and manners, as Wen
as music and mathematics. Inc pogs
did not smoke cigarettes, or the girls
chew gum during recess, and all hearti-
Iv ioined in the refrain of one of their
local hymns:
I'VE look both clean and neat,
We eat but little meat
Tea and coffee and tobacco we despise.
Slander and malicious gossip are
strangers in the homes of Utah, ana
there was ever a single standard OF
morality there for men and women.
The young people were advised to aim
high. and make point of reaching
their aim. and if they fell below it to
go at it again with redoubled zeal, for
high and inflexible purpose is truth up

GAS you respect my authority and value

senger with orders to change horses
and riders every three hours, and ride
day and night until the message was
delivered. But Lee after sending away
the request to Brigham Young assumed
that it would be granted, and did not
wait for a reply. but proceeded to car

news of the massacre reached Brigham
Young he was overwhelmed with grief
He walked the floor all night long
