Objects Of Interest To Be Seen the Jamestown Exposition

the city of Norfolk there are some
houses which are lerfect specimens of
that type.
1t might be said that the american
adaptation of the Georgian style, called
the colonial. reached it's zenith iii Vir-
ginia, as is attested by the splendid
James river mansions, the colonial
houses of middle Virginia, and that
marvellous example of the Durest type,
the University cf Virginia.
None of the exposition buildings will
be reproductions Of Greek or Roman
temples; nothing bizarre will be shown
in the outdoor dec rations or interior
adornments. The lines of the buildings
will be chaste and the gardens reminis-
cent of the seventeenth century.
Fine Picture
The whole picture will be a composite
of green foliage, native flowers. hard
shell or dirt roads, and houses. built
of brick, white colu med or of shingles

NF the sums appropriated by the
I United States government in aid
of the jamestown celebration to
be held next year near Norfolk. Va,
$550,OOO are specifically set aside for the
construction of buildings and the col
lection of exhibits. OF this mount the
larger part is the building fund.
1t has been the purpose of the James
town exposition FROM its very incep-
tion to create a colonial city on the
shores of Hampton Roads, and the
policy of the United States government
is to further this end by the erection
of buildings I'll of which will belong to
that distinct +ype of architecture.
Dotted here and there along the six
miles of roadway connecting the exposi-
ton with No-folk are several fine ex-
amples of colonial architecture. and in

interset with tiles. The bill appropriat .
ing the government money sets forth
that said buildings 1hall be erected
as far as possible in the colonial style
of architecture from plans prepared
by the supervising architect of the
treasury"
This provision of congress is in line
with the architects predictions, ard
as a result the government will have
for the first time at any exposition, a
set of buildings between which there is
no discord of style.
To enable free and ready communica-
tion between ships of the fleets that
will assemble in Hampton Roads and
the Exposition shores, and in order to
furnish a safe and ample harbor for
small boats and launches, the govern
ment has appropriated four hundred
thousand dollars for the construction
of two mammoth piers projecting
eighteen hundred feet into Hampton
Roads, connected at the sea and by a
third pier Each of these piers will be

Then there is a patter Of feet on the
stairs leading to the basement, and the
white aprons swarm in like bees and
begin shouting their orders. Babel with

this place

a quiet man is patiently and continu-
ously shellng and mounting clans on

Nothing worries the clam and oyster

and he goes on until he finds that the
demand has ceased and the walters are
eating the last opened dozen.
But before that the din and hustle are
terrific in every department. The door
of the refrigerator opens and shuts
continually and out come half-frozen
cuts, CnOpS, lODSleTS, CraDS, CnlCRenS,
fish and so on while the walters line
up, singing their raucous chorus:

would spoil the appetite, for indeed.
the science OF eating has come to this
that every meal must be served with
a magic environment of sound, light
and color. And, of course, all this
means greater toll for the makers Of the
feast.
Here in the basement is a hurylng
throng Of men, some wearing white
caps and aprons some the aprons with
out the white caps They rush about
jostling one another and swearing vo-
Glferously, while to the ain is added the
rattle of dishes, the crash of mixed
silver and the Kissing and sputtering

where the whte-capped men fling and
flip and season and prod, one hand OH

What difference to the scene up
stairs! Family one may hear the strains
of the orchestra, and the picture of
palms and crystal and napery and white

where the walls and ceiling are black

glimmer with sweat.
There is one part of the night in a
Times square restaurant when things
are practically dead; that is between
5 o'clock and H. Then the people are
in the theater and the quiet of the res
laurant may be seen even upon Broad

great kitchen the men are not idle, how

superstitiors of Farmers.

Farmers stick to the moon" in. re-
gard to planting corn and other crops
Some of them will not under any cir
cumstances plant corn In moonlight
nights. claiming that corn planted then
will produce a tall stalk with a snort
ear Others just as successfully plant
when they are ready, when nights are
dark or moonlight, as the case may
be. Other notions are indulgsd in.
such as throwing the cobs In running
water to keep corn from firing. Some
farmers would under no consideration
burn pinder hulls, the seed OF which is
to be used for planting; they must be
scattered along path or highway, to
be trodden upon in order to secure a
good crop. Green butter bean hulls
must be thrown in road after being
shelled for table use from day to day
to insure good crop the following

seventy years old today, he was forced
soon after the House convened to re-
linQuish his gavel and retire to his pri-
vate room, where senators and mem

grams Of congratulation came thick
and fast.
Among the bills passed were the fol-
lowing:
To punish the cutting. chipping or
boxing OF trees on the public domain.
To amend an act concerning leases
in the Yellowstone National park.

New York-Aftcr carrying on nego-

subcommittee representing the an

Of eastern Pennsylvania have agreed
to continue the award of the strike
commission for another three years, or
until March 81, 1909, and the men
will return to work as soon as prac-
ticable, probably Monday.
All miners who have not committed
violence against persons or property
will be re-empleycd, and no one will
be Disseminated against because OF
any action he may have taken in the
strike movement.
The agreement is subject to the rati-
ficatiOn of the tridistrict convention
of mine workers at Scranton to-mor-
row, but there is not the slightest
doubt that the delegates will approve
the action of their representatives.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-There
was a very fair supply of cattle on this
market last week and average quality
was good The demand was rather bet
ter than proceeding week and the
movement little more active. but not
much change in values one way or the
other. A good many beef steers were
offered here and packers were very
good bu.ers. but they prefer the light
weight kinds and the heavier stuff was
a little slow A bunch Of eastern Colo
RADIO corn-fed steers sold at $4.75, with
Others at $40. and most of the better
killing grades at $40 and up. Cows
were in good demand. but supply not
very heavy. Best cornfeds sold at
$4.10, and most of the fair TO good kill
ing cows at $500 to $500. Common
cows were a little slow. Bulls were
fairly active and little change from q
week ago in the situation. Feeder and
stocker supply was very light and not
much business done. The demand was
very good for the good kinds. Choice
stockers have the call, but there is also
very good demand for good heavy
feeders, and several dealers have or
ders.
The hog supply was fair last week,
but not as heavy as preceding week.
The light run has enabled packers to
get in better shape to handle hogs and
demand will be very fair this week.
Prices are about dime lower than
week ago, tops now selling around
$622k.
The demand for sheep was good last
week, but few came to this market.
Ewes sold up to $3.50. against $3.50
the preceding week. market being 20
to 25 cents higher. Lambs are also
close to so cents higher. There is a
strong demand for good sheep and
lambs on this market.

ployes OF the Standard Oil and Of the

subpoenaed TO testify before the Inter-.
state Commerce Commission in Chi.
cagO May 10th regarding the special
rates and rebates enjoyed by the
Standard Oil and it's subsidiary com.
panies throughout the West Follow.
Ing are the points which the federal at.
torneys expect to bring cut in their
investigation.
First-That Rockefeller, who owns
Standard Oil. also owns controlling
interest in many of the railroads of the
West and Southwest, being thus both
shipper and common carrier.
Second-That various alleged indie
pendent oil companies in the West
and Southwest are merely the Stand.
ard Oil under other names.
Third-That the Standard was glveud
lower rates than other oil companies
and that the railroads paid to the trust
the differences between the low rate il
paid and the higher rates paid by its
rivals.
Fourth-That these favors were oh.
tanned partly through the fact that
Rockefeller owned the railroads as well
as the freight and partly through fay.
ors shown railroad officials who have
the power to grant rebates.
In all, siXty-five St. Lousians are
wanted to testify at the hearing
Among these are officials and clerks OF
the Frisco. Burlington. Missouri Pa
cific, Wabash and Chicago, Peoria &
