Mrs. Laura Rafferty,.

Few things in nature so move us to sorrow
As the sad separation that death brings to
all
The taking away of a true wife and mother
Is the saddest atiliction that can man be
fall.
The sight of the babe at the bier of its
mother,
Trying to awake her from her last sleep -
OF the aifectionate husband IN disconsolatc
SOrrow-
Is a sight that is fitting to make angels
weep
All, such We're the scenes at the untimclv
ending
OF this life so useful-to good deeds con
tined -
Far away from her loved ones deaths sum
mons reached her;
TO Gods will Us usual, it found her re-
signed,
Yet. i'll the midst of great sorrow oft come
consolation;
Seeming atfliction has always its balm;
No soul, III transit has ever departed
Under auspices grander and bearing the
palm.
With all Heaven rejoicing, o, sorrowing
children,
Your dear mothers soul left its temple of
clay,
And joined with the Angels in the song of
the ages
"A Savior is born in Bethlehem to-day. x
Twere vain now to bin you o fond, faith
ful husband
TO press back the tears that unbdden will
flow;
a good part you've done, and with manly
devouon-
Yet much more remains still for you to do.
Your five little daughters-they were born
of Affection
Watch over them fondly as she'd have
you do.
Whose home is in Heaven, and watching
and praying
Aye, waiting and praying for them and
for you.

birth of the first child of English-speaking
parents. Here too, was elected the first
representative legislative assembly, not
only In the colonies, but Of the world, one
year before the landing of the Pilgrim
Fathers at Plymouth Rock. On this island
occurred the first resistance to taxation
without representation, and In 1866 the
first rebellion on American SOIL when
Governor Harvey was arrested for treason
and sent back to England.
The most conspicuous relic on James
town Island is the ruin of the old church.
Little more than the tower of this famous
edifice remains, but the structure Is to
be restored during the next half year. In
this old church worshipej John Smith
and the early colonists who came with
him. 1t was the center Of all the early
struggles of the first English settlers and
was attacked by Indians time and time
again. Pocahontas was baptized In this
church, and here she attended divine
services In company with her future hus-

The old church tower Is situated within
the tract of 22h acres at the western
end of jamestown Island. which, rs above

display, including invaluable relies.
A building with an area OF 1900 square
feet of floor space is being erected to
shelter the agricultural, horticultural and
mining exhibits, and an annex will hold
special exhibits of the tobacco-growing
and peanut industries-great sources Of
wealth In the South. An innovation will
consist of an exhibit hall for the display
OF medical and hospital appliances, n.y.
gienic and sanitary articles of all kinds.
Then there will be a building for the
mining and forestry display, and a very
interesting structure known as the Marine
appliance Building, In which will be
shown everything that enters into the
manufacture of ships. All told, the expo
sition will have more than 1000 square
feet of exhibit space, which Is practically
the same as that at the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo, which proved such
a success.

the various state committees have decided
to authorize the erection Of colonial
buildings as headquarters for their re-
spective commonwealth. For instance,
Pennsylvania is to have an exact repro
duction Of Independence Hall at Phila-
delphia. and Ohio will offer a counterfeit
presentment Of historic colonial man
sion that is one of the show places Of the
Buckeye State. Maine will reproduce
Longfellow's birthplace, and Massachu-
sets will have a replica of the Longfel-
low home at Cambridge, which was Cen
eral Washington's headquarters during
the Revolutionary War. Following In the
same line New Jersey will duplicate Wash
ington's headquarters at Morristown. All
of these state buildings will be located
directly on the water front.
OF the $1,000, 600 to be expended to Gre
ate the jamestown Exposition some 3d.
900 will be paid out for the erection
of the United States governmental and
state buildings, and an equal amount will
be discussed for the erection Of the ex-
hibit palaces to be reared by the exposi-
ton company. OF the latter structures
the most important are two splendid twin
buildings, already more than half COM
feet Of exhibit space. One of these will
be devoted to general manufactures and
liberal arts, while the other will house

T has been said that Americans sur

y positions and International fairs, and II
this DO true II Is eminently fitting that
Uncle Sans domain should be the scene

Hampton Roads, Virginia. from April ID
TO November 30, 1907. This great show
which Is TO commemorate the first perma-
nent settlement of English speaking peo-
pie In America, will pe unique In its
whole scope.
There Will be, to he sure, exhibit pal
ices and Industrial displays, just as there
were at Chicago and Buffalo and st.
Louis and Portland, but the very essence
OF the worlds fair of 1907 will be found
In Its marine and naval features, In
which II will surpass anything previously
attempted on any OF the waters of the
globe Hampton Roads, which Is famous
as the most magnificent hnrbor on our
planet, is large enough TO enable all the
navies OF the world to ride at anchor
without the least suspicion OF crowding.
and the opportunities afforded by this
matchless marine rendezvous have given
the keynote for the coming show.

been planned. In addition, there will be
a correspondingly comprehensive assem-
blage of all the different types of craft
TO be found In the worlds merchant ma
rine; pretentious yachting regattas; the
greatest motorboat races ever projected,
an exemplification of all that is pictur-
esque and up to date IN lighthouse and
life-saving work, and, in short, graphic
ohject-lessons bearing upon every phase
OF naval and maritime progress.
For all that the most spectacular fea-
lures OF this latest addition to the IeG2
list OF worlds fairs will take place g.
the water, it must not be supposed that
the grounds and buildings on shore will
not compare in interest with any previous
worlds fair. The jamestown show will
not cover as much ground as those at
Chicago and st. Louis, but what 1t lacks
IN size 1t will more than make up in
novelty, for at this exhibition visitors
will be shown almost exclusively objects
OF interest which they have never pre-
viously had an opportunity to behold at
any exposition In the world.
The jamestown Exposition grounds nre
located facing Hampton Roads, at Sewells
Point, where the first Virginia engage
ment OF the Civil War occurred. There is
no established municipality at this point,
but Hampton Roads is surrounded by a
group OF cities, from all OF which the ex-
position grounds are readily accessible.
To be more exact. this Mecca for sight
seers is distant Ave miles by trolley car
from Norfolk and Portsmouth, FIVE miles
by water from Newport News, five miles
miles by water from Fort. Monroe or Old
Point Comfort.
