DAUGHTERS Of C0NFEDERACY TO HOLD
NEXT ANNUAL MEETING At jamestown

NORFOLK, Dec. 5.-The Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy are to have
a building at the jamestown EXPOSE
ton. This has been practically decdid-
ed and it may be that the state divi-
sion will bear the cost. A plan for
raising the necessary amount is I'M
der consideration but it has been as
sured that the members will not be
assessed.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
will hold their annual national cOnven-
ton at Gulfport Miss, on November
14th, and it may be that this body
will contribute toward the fund for
erecting, the home. Mrs. James Y.
Leigh, treasurer of the United Daugh-
ters will attend the annual gathering
to be held at Gulfport and this mat
ter will be brought before that body
by her If the national organizations
does not vote to contribute, it is said
that the state division will have the
building erected at its own expense.
Like Bauvoir House.
The plan of the proposed building
will be similar to that of the BeauvOir
House, the home of jefferson Davis,
AS far as possible, the structure will
be an exact replica of the Davis home,
even to the extent of the furniture. A
cafe will be attached to the building

Those Newfoundland Fisheries,


Last summer Newfoundland passed
a drastic law bearing upon our fisher
men taking fish in Newfoundland wa
tiers, and when the winter herring sea-
son opened there in October the whole
colony was in uprOariOus demOnstra
ton against the United States. The
law related to the veXing question how
the fish must be caught. The new law
would compel our crews to abandon
the prize altogether, and this govern
ment went over the heads Of the colo
nists and arranged with the British
foreign Office in London to modify OF
remove the restrictions in the interest
of the American crews. Naturally the
Observation-Disclosures are incensed because
the imperial authority has overruled
the colonial parliament, to the advan-
tage of outsiders.
The arrangement between London
and Washington is only temporary, and
American fishing in Newfoundland wa
tiers may continue if American crews
wish to risk broken heads or perhaps
arrest by colonial authorities for what
they term ''unbridled invasiOns Of colo
NAL rights" This fishing dispute is an
old one and has been touched upon by
treaties going back to 1888. Since 1885
American rights in the fisheries have
rested upon a treaty concluded in 1918.
which was never satisfactory. Among
the many matters with which Secre-
tary Root has to deal few, if any, are
as perpleXing as this ancient dispute
over our rights to catch fish in New.

ing mills claimed they would bear
276OO pounds. That this would cause
them to sag little over inches in
the middle. That 20 inch beams were
two small to span AZ feet as required
on this bridge. The bridge would not
drop in the creek but would sag and
be apt to crack the pavement at the
points Of juncture.
Councilman Tausick suggested that
it might be profitable all around to
extend the time and wait a little before
doing anything. The bulkhead would
have to be replaced in all probability
and this could not be done until low
water next summer.
GIasford Objects.
Glasford violently objected to any de-
lay and asked that some bid be &C.
cepted He said that no man who had
bid could make any money out of the
proposition, in fact some of them were
anxious to get out of the mess. He
said there had been enough dilly daily
ing over the proposition and Some
thing ought to be done after pudding
over the matter for Is months. He
also gave his customary fling at con-
crete bridges saying they were in
their infancy and a good one could not
be put up for less than $4,000 to
$4,000 which he would not stand for.
Just then the mayor brought up the
question of the proposed bridge be-
ing unsafe and after the information
brought out thereon everybody agreed
to have plans drawn up for a suit
able bridge. This duty was put in the
hands of the street committee.

Annual Session.
At the meeting of the state division
of the Daughters of the Confederacy
recently held at Wythonville, Va it
was unanimousl decided to hold the
next annual session at the exposition
and it is understood that the national
organization will do likewise While
no official action was taken this
matter at the last meeting held in
San Francisco, Mrs. Leigh states that
she was assured by a great majority
of the delegates that they would vote
for Norfolk as the meeting place for
1907. Since that time she has re-
ceived many letters from many state
conventions promising their support
for the exposition at the national con-
vention to be held at GulfpOrt. The
time for holding the state convention
has not yet been settled upon and VIII
not be until after the meeting of the
national body. 1t is the idea of the
state officers to have the two conven-
tiOns as close together as possible.

And Council Passes Bridge Question
On Again
SHALL IT Be STEEL OR CONCRETE
THAT'S THE DIFFICULTY WITH
THE ALDERMEN WHO CAN
NOT AGREE YET.

The deadlock over the Fourth
street bridge still continues. After
an hours mild wrangling in council
meeting least night between the par
tisans of a steel bridge and the "con-
cretists" the matter was put back to
where it was Is months ago.
All bids on the steel bridge were or
dered rejected when it developed that
the proposed structure would not be
safe and things put back to first prin-
ciples by resolution calling for
plans for a suitable bridge.
Two things came up which penetrat-
ed the ironclad determination of
Councilman Glasford to accept one of
the bids made on the steel structure.
One of these was that he did not think
it just fair to give the contract to
Dion Keefe who had 81 less than Eas-
terday and company because Keefe
had made two bids one with a time
limit, whereas yesterday and Co. had
not mentioned time.
The other was the revelation that
the bridge proposed would not be
strong enough to bear tine load requir-
ed of it. The persistent councilman
was willing to swallow mis- first objec-
ton and accept some bid so as to bury
once for all the concrete bridge prop
osition but he baked at the array Of
facts brought out on the unsafe OBJ
lection.

Inadequate to Bear Load.

The representative of yesterday &

opinion on the safety of the proposed

would be clearly inadequate to bear

of 276OO pounds each whereas the roll

the more he looked into it the more
he was in favor of it. If the two
could be built for the same price as
one he was inclined to think the
scheme a good one.
Councilman Glasford said that he
felt as mis- colleague did. He was
strongly against the plan of having
the engine house in the city hall and
always had been. The plan for two
buildings was a wise move. That the
ground added would always be very
valuable and it would improve the
street to take out the rookeries there

Bridges Talks Anyway.
Councilman Bridges was one of the
three members of the council whom
the mayor did not call on for sep
arate opinion but he had word to say
He said that he had not
heard Of this proposition until to-,
night and was of the idea that it
would be a good plan to go a little
slow He thought it seemed to be guess
work as to what the two buildings
would cost and would Ike to be shown
the figures. He was not sure that
the people of Walla Walla were pre-
pared to pay 100000 or $93,5OO for
a city hall just yet He did not know
that he was for or against the propo-
sition but wanted time to look into it,

on tour twenty-five years. For years
Field has offered the best in minstrelsy.

bigger and better than ever. The
show is entirely new this season, and
though many old faces will be seen.
many new members will be introduced
In the personnel. A burlesque of the
GridirOn Club, that famous Washing
on Institution where politicians and
newspaper men meet annually is the
feature of the first part. Prominent
people, statesmen, politicians. diplo-
mats prominent in the public eye, are
caricatured, their pet hobbies, fads
and public questions. Hits on the
various bills in Congress, illusions tc
various episodes attending public
affairs have been expressed by dialogue
snd representations. Scenically the
act is the most elaborate ever offered
IN minstrelsy.
The olio takes on all IF the forms of
old-time minstrelsy. Due emphasis
has been given to scenes typical of the
cid Southern plantation and traits Of
the darky as he existed before the
war. TIE olio presents Roll on Sill

This feature offers a series of dances
srtisically arranged. 1t is executed
Under the personal direction of Doc
Quigley, whose dancing acts have

at Happened In Nordland" will be
the offering presented by the Lew
Fields theatrical Company, celebrat-
ed organization of.20 talented princi-
pals and a chorus of 60 at the Paris
Grand on Friday night, December 7th.
This delightful operate extravaganza
will be- given here with the original
New York production in its entirety
under the personal stage direction of
Julian Mitchell, who produced THE
Wizard of Or and 1.-The Babes in Toy
land" The book is by Glen Mac
Donough, the popular librettist, while
the tuneful scene is the most ambitious
work Of Victor Herbert, America S
foremost composer of light operate
music.
From beginning to end "It Happen
I ed in Nordland" is dream of sensuous
beauty, interrupted frequently, to
| highten it, by comicalities of such as
only dreams can provide.
| The beautiful girls, the enchanting
dances, the delightful music of Victor
| Herbert, and worthy of him-the gor-
geous costumes, the superb lighting
effects, and the sprightly comedy, are
the main features of this worthy offer
ing.
One of the dances is distinct and
remarkable novelty on the extrava-
ganza stage, where dances generally
have no significance whatever, but are
merely thrown in for good measure, so
to speak,. with the song. But this
dance, which accompanies the song,
"Abisuthe Frappe," is much more than
a mere accompaniment. The Prince
has had too many absinthes, and he
sees a vision, in which a dozen houris
entice,.. allure and elude him. The man
who conceived this effect has poetry in
his soul, for it is beautifully symbolic
of mans pursuit of ever-feeting happi-
ness.
There are other striking dance en-
sembles in the first act, but they are
all outdone at the beginning of the
second act, when there is a very cloud
burst of beauty upon the stage. The
number is called 1.-The Carnival" and
it was indeed carnival of lovliness.
No parched Mohammedan enthusiast,
looking in an ecstacy from the desert
at the stars, ever imagined a more
gorgeous Paradise.

THE RECORD BROKEN.
States Attorney Williams is Over.
 Populating tho State Prison.


 Hartford, May 23.---The number of convicts in the state prison in Weth- ersfeld is now 505. This is the larg- est colony of felons that Warden Gar. win has cared for since June 6, 1902. when the census of inmates of the institution was precisely the same as 1t is to-day. For several years prior to 1902 the number of convicts was frequently greater than 1t is now, and Ut times 1t ran up to about 530. For four years the population of the prison has been abnormally small, although 1t Is just now expanding. The reception of four life convicts from New Haven county last week brings the total number of life pris- oners up to sixty-eight, or more than IS per cent of the total prison popu- lation. New Haven's contribution of four life convicts at one time Is the first instance in the history of the institution that four life prisoners were received from a single county in one day. The number of convicts undergoing life imprisonment is now larger than 1t has ever been before.
 The present contingent of female prisoners numbers fourteen, of whom eight are serving life sentences.

THE LATHROP CASE.
Money Ordered for Mrs Lathrop's
 Maintenance Not Yet Paid.

Money Ordered for Mrs Lathrop's Maintenance Not Yet Paid. There seems to be tug of war between Attorney O'Neill and Colonel Burpee over the decision of Judge Reed in giving Mrs Elizabeth l.. La throp $500 down and $50 a month, provided her two suits for $60,000 maintenance be withdrawn. Neither has made any step toward complying with the order of the court thus far, and each seems to be watching and waiting for the other to act.
 To-day Colonel Burpee was asked If he had paid $500 to Attorney O'Neill for Mrs Lathrop and he said that he had not and will not until after MT O'Neill has complied with the order of the court so far as it af- fects him, that is. in withdrawing the cases for maintenance. Attorney O'Neill, on the other hand, said he had not withdrawn the cases because Colonel Burpee, acting for Mrs La. throp, had not complied with the order of the court as far as 1t affects his side of the case. II have put the divorce case on the trial list" he said, and expect to have it tried the first week in June anyway, but until we get the $500 the court has said we shall get. we will not withdraw any of our cases. We are ready to withdraw the suits for maintenance and we are also ready to accept the $500.
