When, on this night of October 81,

When, on this night of October 81,
1904, President Francis turned out
forever the lights that made fairyland
of the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton, the assembled multitude turned
away with sobs in their hearts for
the occasion had in it the sadness of
death. Cardinal Gibbons, of Balti-
more, when in Norfolk, the other day,
protested against this sacrifice of
beauty and genius.
He said:
You have departed from the ways
of other expositions especially in
your buildings. / have always
thought it vandalism to destroy
created beauty in the form of either
landscape or buildings. Other ex-
positions have constructed but to tear
down and leave a void in the heart
and mind of all who have looked.
Make of this a permanent park,
which will stand as a monument of
what the jamestown Exposition seeks
to commemorate. Other expositions
passed to forgetfulness. Let this one
be an exception. Your beautiful
grounds and quaint buildings will be
a source of pleasure to thousands

gates" 4
And so it shall be. The Colonial
City is not to be given over to the
wrecker and the vandal when the
gates are closed on the night of No
vember 80, 1907, but will endure to
delight and instruct p~osterity. 1t is
to be permanent and this was early
decided upon by its projectors. The
plan adopted is a thing new in the
history of expositions and an out
line will be of interest. The ground
upon which is located the exposition
was bought outright and is owned
in fee simple by the jamestown Ex-
position Company, Incorporated. 1t
is the most desirable and best To-
Gated parcel of ground in Tidewater,
Virginia, and must soon become i'm
mensely valuable as terminal prop
erty for railway and marine interests.
Already it has appreciated mater
tally in value since the Exposition
began to be exploited and adjacent
property, too, has advanced, so that
the Exposition stockholders already
see dividends in prospect. All of the
utilities, including water, electric
lights, and the sewerage system. are
built for permanency and will be

"Along the Kcnnchec."

The story of the play deals with
the scheming villainy of a quarry
boss, James Burton, and an ex-nurse,
Sophie Sewell, in a charity hospital,
who holds the birth secret of Dollie
Langdon, her mother, whose mar
riage was not agreeable to her father
a wealthy landowner, who disowned
her at her marriage and never be-
came reconciled, knew that she had
become the mother of a girl, and be-
fore his death, tried in vain to find
the child, but failing in this, left her
his sole heiress, leaving the will and
other papers in charge of the nurse,
Sophie Sewell, who did not know the
value of them until she had shown
them to James Burton. a quarry boss,
some years after. The play ends
happily, and everybody's cup of joy
is full to the brim.
Manager Billott says the play is
recommended highly and expects a
large crowd to witness the perform
ance in Wilder hall tonight.

FOR The BIG
EXPOSITION

When the globes, the display, the
jamestown Expositionto be held
near Norfolk, Verginia, have passed
into the realm of dreams the beauti-
full Colonial City will still stand an
enduring monument to Virginia's en-
terprise and energy. Hardly a Wis
itor to other expositions has turned
away without regret in his heart that
so much beauty of architecture and
landscape must be destroyed. The
exposition as a whole is always the
greatest exhibit at these wonderful
creations of mems genius, and it is
painful after seeing their glories to
know that they must at last be turned
over to the vandal and perish from
the earth to live thenceforth only in
picture or in memory.

who was cured of infamatory rheum-

the time using crutches; treated by
celebrated physicians, and visiting

DR.. L. J. 7. Lee, 655 Quincy street,

Volta Powder to an old man suffering

am still using IT,"
If you have been disappointed in
other medicines, just have enough
faith in human nature to try the real
antidote for Rheumatism. Volta v
