Has Elegant Home.

Has Elegant Home.
The house of Don Pedro stands just
above the banks of the Parral river
and far from being the gaudy, over
done palace which il is generally sup
posed to be. is on the outside. a well
balanced house. of considerable proper
tiOnS of course. but carved richly and
artistically with little of the ginger
bread which one would expect from
the reports Of it. 1t is elegant to o
considerable degree. and the carvings
of the white native stone. on which
900 of Don Pedro's friends worked for
many months, are very handsome.
1t was while standing watching the
house and the crowd of workmen and
beggars waiting about it for their bay
and aims that an old gentleman
dressed in store clothes and walking
with an impossible cane, came uD to
our party and invited them, with all
the cor1iality possible to come and see
the house. He hobbled along in front,
garrulOusly pointing out the bits OF the
exterior which were of interest. and
led the way into the main patio of the
house. Here. he said. was as far as he
could take US, but he stood for a quar-
ter of an hour pointing out the beauties

of the patio. the really handsorEeIy
carved pillars and Corinthian capitals
the figures on the keystone of every
fairy arch and the paintings which
lined the walls. The patio corridors
were full of material for the furnish
ing of the new hotel which Dom Pc
dro is building on one of the Dlazas
of the town, which, when it is finished
will be one of the handsomest in the
republic
An onyx stairway led to the upper
floors of the house, and the self-ap-
pointed guide rippled on garrulousiy
with his wonderful tales of the beauties
above. Then he suddenly turned, and
in the midst of us stood a little smil-
ing man, not much over FIVE feet five
inches tall, little black eyes sparkling
out of white face. on which grew a
little beard and mustache. He greeted
US with certain gentle dignity. ami in
vited Us TO come upStiTs and see the
house. at the solicita ton, indeed. of our
Guide.
Up the Cnxy Stairway.
So Up the onyx stairway we climbed
past half a dozen poems who worked
and scrubbed to make il shine as the
day. and rose spectfully as We pas
sed- The upper corridor was a repeti-
ton of the lower. with the windows of
the rooms opening on it finished in
more of the beautifully carved stone,
AID very evidently planned by mas
ter hand. and executed By much labor,
well raid
Next We were led TO the famous
chapel CT the house which rumor has
II IS hung il cloth Of Pold and where
incense burns night and day. II was
not at al as It was advertised. bUt the
effert TO make il superbly elegant was
eppa rent. T. was not BUTT in chapel
form. as might have been expected,
but was merely one OF the rooms of the
house fitted up for the purpose. Don
Pedro is devout Catholic. and he has
( lsvished here al that he could well do
in crowding his chapel full of all that
could 3iesse hin.
The altar occurred the middle of the
outside wall of the room. and a win
dow on each side gave it light. This
altar was gaudy and wonderful i'm gold
/ and silver and slts and velvets, and
/ not unlike the expensive affairs to be
/ found in the favored shrires of almost
/ any of the churches of this country
/ In the center of the room was a great
/ pyramid of black velvet and silver. in
memory of Don Pedro's wife, dead now
some years. Tdis was hung with cloth
! Of silver, which draped its base on al
/ sides. and the silver ornaments arc
costly and numerous. On one side OF
/ the room was a throne where tbs
| bishop sits when he comes to say mass
| for this devOut son of the church, and
/ on the other walls were paintings OF
| religious scenes and the tiny stations
| of the cross. In one corner was an au-
! tomato parlor organ. covered with q
/ gaudy velvet curtain.
The Magnificent Drawing Room.
| We passed to the drawing room
which occupied nearly the whole of the
1 front of the house on the second floor
| This was room that, but for its over
| furnishing, might have belonged to q
really beautiful house. But. along with
| the heavy curtains OF dark red vel

! fully carved and finished in dull gray
silver and gold, were many mirrors

The State Corporation Commission
l. as declined to allow Hon. Joseph
-sutton to qualify as insurance COM
..l;ssioner of the State on the ground
that the Commission has the right
lt appoint and direct all of Its clerks,
including the one who has charge Of
Insurance matters, and the views of
the Commission are, doubtless, correct.
If the contrary were true, then the
Commission wouldnot have the power
to supervise the work of the insurance
companies as it does other corpora
Eons and we cannot believe it was
the purpose of the Constitutional
Convention to invest a clerk with
such power. The Court of Appeals
will pass upon it and will doubles de-
eide that the Commission has entire
charge of the matter and" that the
Legislature exceeded its powers when
ii attempted to name the clerk to
supervise insurance"

President Roosevelt has been in
,itcd by the Commercial Traveller 5
Antitrust League to preside at the
reception to be rendered William J.
BRYAN in New York City upon his ar
rival from Europe in September. The
League, it is explained, is not a
partizan organization and the invi-
tation can be accepted by Mr..
Roosevelt with a proper regard for
the fitness of things, because he is as
much opposed to the trusts as is Mr.
Bryan, The next President of the
Tinted Cto+ae iG ortitln1 n +Ns+ No."
ognition by the present executive OF
the country.
That Mr.. Bryan will be the Demo
cratic nominee for President seems
to be beyond all question and his
election seems to be equally certain
in the opinion of those best posted in
the political affairs of the country,
and in that view many Republicans
as we'll as Democrats agree. III all
the Democratic gatherings which
have been held of late the name only
of Bryan has been mentioned for the
exhalted position and Senator Joseph
w. Bailey seems to have voiced the
sentiment of the people of the country
in a speech made by him on the 4th
of July, in declaring that all the
money of the insurance potentates
and other corporations have cannot
buy the election of 1908 against the
Indignation of the people.

Druggists all over the state are VIC
Iating the law regarding the sale OF
= sons. This is the belief OF the
State Board of Pharmacy, and from
an investigation already made the be-
liet of the board is warranted. Acting
under the orders of the board an in
vestigation recently worked through
the counties of Rockbridge, Augusta
and Shenandoah. One hundred and
fifty violations of the law have been
reported to the attorneys for the
commonwealth in those counties.
The object of the board in conduct
ing the investigation is to protect the
public against the sale of poisons by
irresponsible persons and to see that
the law is complied with.

Railroads Must Answer July Is.

In the state corporation commission
Tuesday afternoon, Attorney-General
Anderson filed complaint against the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad for failure
to place on sale the 50O-mile tickets
books, as required in the act of the
general assembly passed last winter.
The commissioner issued an orderlate
in the day directing the company to
show cause on July IS why the com
pany should not be proceeded against
as provided under the terms of the
act. This means that Governor
Swanson and Major Anderson will dc
all in their power to see that the acts
of the general assembly are obeyed by
the companies doing business in this
State.
The decision Of the commission will

That the railroads will appeal to the
courts, there is no question, should
the decision be adverse to them. -

EXPOSITION BOULEVARD.
Magnificent Driveway to be Construc'
ted from Norfolk to jamestown
Exposition Grounds.

Norfolk, Va.-One of the objects of
international expositions abroad has
been to leave permanent memorial
of tbe celebration. This is especially
true of the French Worlds Fairs.
The Trocadero Palace, the Hall OF
Industry and the Alexander Bridge
will stand for centuries as memorials
of the several expositions which
created them.
A far less spectacular, and yet per-
haps more valuable reminder, will be
left after the Jamestown Exposition
has passed into history. The South
has not been noted for good roadways;
on the contrary it has gained an I'M
enviable fame by its maintenance or
bad roads. In connection with the
Ter Centennial the city and county OF
Norfolk will combine forces and will
construct a model boulevard linking
Norfolk with Exposition.
To the limits of the city the avenue
will be asphalted. The six mile
stretch from the city limits to the
Exposition grounds will be an eX-
ample of the most approved methods
of macadam road building.
The boulevard will be one hundred
and twenty-five feet wide. There Will
be room for a double track electric
car line in the center, and broad
| spaces on either side. 1t will traverse
a very picturesque route, alongside
| and over streams and through num-
berless small groves. The rights OF
way have been secured for the entire
stretch, and the route selected is the
one preferred by the Engineer of the
| Good Roads Bureau of the Department
of Agriculture, at Washington.
Automobiles may travel from Nor
folk to the Exposition Grounds IL
twenty minutes with ease, and OBJ
serve the restrictions regarding speed
The electric cars will take no longer,
and on such perfect roadway vehl'
Giles drawn by horses will make ex
cellent time.
One of the reasons for the Govern
Iment's interest in this matter relate:
to the transportation of troops. Sucf
bodies of soldiery as will land at Nor
folk will have either to march or ride
Ito the Exposition encampment. a
road of such character as the Exposi
ton Boulevard will enable them Il
march easily, and thus picturesque
feature will be added to the celebra
ton, for troops will come at frequen
intervals during the entire EXPOSE
ton period. The President of thu
United States was authorized by Ac
of Congress to invite every state t.
send its militia to the Exposition. HI
has already issued proclamation t
this effect, and it is reasonably Gel
> tain that most of the states will &C
+ cept. These regiments of citize
I soidiery will not come all at one tim
but will so arrange that one or NOR
states will always be represented /
the United States enc ampment.
