Mr. sewell only two remain. One of these is the old blacksmith shop, and the other is a dwelling house which stands on the site of the first court house and jail erected in the English colonies The dwelling is in good state of preservation, and the curious windows are still barred by iron by iron bars imported from England. Over the exposition grounds the armies engaged In three wars have marched. During the revolution Sewell's Point was the scene of several skirmishes. During the war of 1872, when the British attached and destroyed Hamp- ton, they stopped at sewelps Point. Tn the civil war the point was occupied by the battery of the Confederate de- lenses of Norfolk.
 The flint with which the Chesapeake Indians tipped their arrowheads was quarried from the banks of Boush's S creek, which bounds one side of the ex- position grounds
 The glamour of pirates and witches who have in the far past haunted the locality still hangs about the place, and historical reminscence associating sewelfs Point with almost every stage of the nations history abounds.
 From the dome of the Auditorium and Hall of Congress seven different counties may be seen over whose fertile land have rolled some of the bloodiest conflicts of all time. To the southwest Is Nansemond, to the west Isle of Wight to the northwest Warwick. On the northwest is Northampton county, and on the east Princess. Anne. The exposition site is in Norfolk county.
 The colonial city sitting beside the waters of Hampton Roads next year will be face to face with a waterway involving more historical reccollections than any other in the western hem isphere.

New Haven Tueater.

One of the important productions of the early season is that of new mel odramatie play of which Joseph Sant- ley, called Billy the Kid, is part au- thor as well as star. There are four acts of the play, and the scenes are all laid in New Mexico Dramatic au- thors have found the western country a fertile field in which to place the action of their plays, and that the public ap- preciate these locales is evinced by the overwhelming success which has been accorded such plays as "The Squaw Man." "The Virginian," Arizona" and thers of that ilk. The story told in Billy the Kid" is said to be an ex- ceptionally interesting one, the authors having been fortunate enough to re- tain much of the atmosphere of the To-
 cality. Types there are aplenty, and strong situations and climaxes with a deal of comedy relief.
 MT. Santley is to present Billy the | Kid" at the New Haven theater to- night, Friday and Saturday nights, and at the Saturday matinee.
 A fine old southern colonel and his
 faithful orderly, who are still fighting
 the battles of the late war of the re-
 bellion, and who live entirely by mili-
 tary discipline, are said to furnish some delightful comedy in the new melo- drama, Billy the Kid" in which Jo.
 seph Santley is starring with great sue.

THE PrCKPoCKET.

The special, printed in unusually large letters, which now warns people in some of. the tube lifts to beware of pickpockets suggests that it is time to revise the term "cutpurse, which would be much more appropriate to these days of hanging bags and no pocketbooks. In the sixteen century was far richer than it is now in terms of this kind, especially the thieves own vocabulary, With them a "hoys- ter" was a piclzpocket and ''nuppeh" was a pick purse or a cut purse. To "syft" was to rob shop or house, and to shave" according to an &C., count of these matters, was to take a cloak, sword. silver spoon, or such like that Is negligently looked un- to-" Most of these words were once to be found in Shart's Quay In a legend written over a house of piek-pockets- an original Fagan's den-

HISTORIC JAMESTOWN.


 Armies of Three Conflicts Have
 Marched Over Exposition Grounds.
 Tn compiling a history of the site of the Jamestown exposition to 'oe helu on sewell's Point on Hampton Roads, near Norwalk, Va, in 1907, Charles w, Consolvo who takes a deep interest in the history of the subject, has un- earthed many interesting facts, He is uneal descendant of a princely house of Castile, and could, if he 80 desired, deck his name with rtlnlberless Dons and Ys. He. however bfefers the sim pler life of this country and scorns all titles.
 Among other interesting facts he has discovered that it was from SewelPs Point. near the site of the exposition, that the English first saw Chesapeake bay. which the friendly Chesapeake In- dians told the white, men signified Mother of the Waters. These explorers had been sent out from the settlement founded by Sir Walter Raleigh on Roanoke Island In 1885. The expedition had been sent out under command of Sir Richard Grenvile, who afterward attained immortal fame by his stub- born fight against 58 Spanish ships with his little vessel, the Revenge. He left the coionists under command of Capt Ralph Lane, who during the win- ter set out with a few companions to explore the country to the northward. Captain Lane after much toll and pri- yation reached Sewell's Point and then discovered the village of Chesapeake Indians who showed him the mighty bay lying behind Old Point Comfort.
 The Roanoke colony was abandoned shortly after this. The colonlsts suf- fered frightful privations and were in-

Margaret Anglin's rise to the front of Amercan actresses has been llttle snort of meteoric. At less than thirty years of age, through her remarkable work in 'Zira,' Mrs. Danes Defense, and aher other great successes, she has prov ed herself without peer Tn emotional sweep, and in the sustained power of her portrayals As joint star with Henry Miller, Miss Anglin will appear lat the Hyperion tonight in William Vaughn Moody's "The Great Divide" new drama, which is believed to con- tain genuine Margaret Anglin role" The appearance of MT.

THE QUEEN OF DENMARK.
Once Princess Charlie and Wished She
 was Reporter.

Once Princess Charlie and Wished She
 was Reporter.
 Until her marriage the present Queen of Denmark was known to her inti- mates as Charlie, and to the world at large os one of the brightest and live Hest, most cordial and unaffected girls in the whole British royal family This world liked to hear occasional stories about her and liked, particular ly that little anecdote of her filtration with the reporter at the railway sta- tion.
 He had come to write up royal de- parture she to bid a friend goodbye. He made notes of the dresses, includ- ing her own, and she saw what he was doing.
 At last she, too, took out piece of paper and a pencil, scribbled on it something hastily, and crumpling the paper into a little ball threw it at the feet of the reporter, The royal mes- sage read:
 q wish were a reporter, tool"
 Princess Charlie-or Princess Maud, to give her the name by which she was officially known-was brought up very strictly. She was not permitted, it ap- pears, to read book or to see a play unless the book had been read or the play seen. She was never allowed to make visits unaccompanied by one or l of her parents except to the home of her French governess, and never re- ceived gifts except from her own fam ily..
 Curiously, too, the number of her toys was limited. Nearly all her dolls which were few in number-came from the Marquis of Lorne, with whom she was a great favorite. She was ten years old before she was allowed to own watch.
 Yet this little princess had a pretty happy time, She cared for music and became an excellent pianist, learned both German and French from her two | careful religious training Tn connec- tion with 1t 1t may be recalled that she was christened, not in the chapel royal, as was then customary, but at Marl- borough House, and that Dean Stanley l ofticiated on this important occasion.
 Princess Maud was child of varied I tastes, a devotee of bubbles. She liked riding and cycling-and likes them still got very fond of photography Gin which art her mother is so skiIled), took up book-binding, learned to spin and studied many handicrafts with i more than passing interest. No doubt too, her influence in stim- ulating other girls usefully to occupy their leisure time was very great and when she was married the dress-mak- ing class at the Peoples Palace made i for her tea jacket of winch the bride was and is now extremely proud.
 She is still a great reader and is said to retain her early affection for the works of Owen Meredith. She has travelled extensively knows Russian, likes yachting, plays chess and takes abundant joy in living Strand Nigga zine.

YOU CAN OBTAIN Cert0in Body Building Results by Using Grape=Nuts
 FOOD.
QUESTIONING A FRIEND.

If one takes the trouble to care- fully question a person that has been using Grape-Nuts Food for two or three weeks, the facts will be brought out that gradually there comes over the body feeling of increased strength particularly of mental strength and ability.
 The mind works clearer and more actively when 1t plays upon brain that is refreshed, rebuilt and properly constructed by the food elements in- tended by Nature for such work
 This is a profound fact regarding Grape-Nuts.
