va, Is next IN line for recognition as
the promoter Of the exposition type
of entertainment and exploitation.
And perhaps no place in the country,
from historic and romantic associa-
tions with the history Of the United
States is more entitled to the popular
Endorsement and patronage than this
place IN the beautiful garden-land OF
Virginia.
Il is three centuries since the first
English settlement In America was
made al jamestown, and II is pro-
posed that the ter-centennial Of this
event shall be celebrated next year
from May 1 10 November l. Elaborate
preparations are being made, and the
prospects are bright for the holding
OF a successful exposition.
In connection with the event will
be an international naval, marine and
military celebration on the waters
of Hampton Roads, Va, near the cit
les OF Norfolk. Portsmouth. Newport
News, Hampton and the Government
Reserve. Fortress Monroe.
The site selected is the most his.
toric portion Of American territory.
The first settlement was at James
town island, about 80 miles from Nor
folk up the James river, but on
account OF the convenient transporta-
tlon facilities. 4 was decided to hold
the exposition at the most suitable
point near jamestown, where the mag

him of his acceptance after writing
TO his sisters. Misses Hazel and Ber-
nice Lathrop Of this city. The meet
ing occurred at Summit, S. D., where
Lathrop has a brother teaching school,
Mr.. Lathrop started for the klon-
dixie with $50 in cash. and on reach
ing Seattle he was without funds. but
was taken through by a party OF
friends who were making the trip to-
gether. On reaching the gold fields
the party went 5000 miles into the
interior and started operations.
Al the end Of five years Lathrop
had amassed $4,000. and with that
he started back home. On reaching
Ketchikan he was taken sick with
the scurvy, and for one year he lay
in the hospital When he came out
he said he did not have a dollar left
of his small fortune. There was moth
ing for him to do brit to make the
start all over again, and he met with
better results. He secured a number
OF mines that were profitable and sold
out some of them for 100000, retain
ing about thirty, which he still owns,
besides owning a bank at Ketchikan.
Two years ago. prompted by the
love that he still bore for his family.
he decided to return to his old home.
He reached Seattle and there learned
that his wife had obtained a divorce
and had been married again. With
out more ado Mr.. Lathrop retraced
his steps to the Klondike. After two
years his wealth had increased TO a
larger sum, and again the longing
came over him to see his relatives.
and two weeks ago he reached his
former home at Appleton.
After his meeting with his children
he took them to Appleton. which visit,
however, was saddened by the death
of his mother and his sister. He
brought home golden gifts for them
and was grieved to find that they
were not there TO receive them.
Lathrop is now thoroughly
changed man and leads Christian
life. At Seattle and in Alaska he has
given large sums of money to aid
In church work.
Three years after Mr.. Lathrop went
away his wife obtained a divorce on
the ground of desertion, and moved
TO Ashton, s. D., and made her home
with relatives. Nine years ago she
was married to /. w. Seaman OF
Aberdeen, a wealthy ranch and stock
owner who has a handsome residence
near the business district The two
daughters will continue to make their
residence with him.
Mr.. Lathrop expressed himself to
his daughters as being satisfied with
his lot and does not blame any men,
ber of the family for all that has
taken place, AS soon as he finishes
his business in this country, which is
TO buy an immense quantity Of ma
chinery for his mining plants, he will
return TO the Klondike country.

himself out on the pilot, with one arm
wrapped around the drawhead. he low

with the other arm quickly lifted the

As soon as he had done this he
