What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

The mention OF sulphur will iocall TO many OF US
the early days when mothers and grandmothers
gave us our daily dose of sulphur and noiasses
every spring and fall.
II was the universal spring and fall blood
purifier" tonic and cureall. and mlnd you 'his
old fas hIoned remedy not without merit.
The idea was good. but the remedy was crude
and unpalatabIe and a large quantity had to be
taken TO get any effect.
NOWADAYS we get all the beneficial effects of
sulphur in a palatable. concentrated form, so that
a single grain is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment have
proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use Is
that obtained from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
sold in drug stores under the name OF Stuart's
Calcium Waters. They small chocolate-coated
pellets and contain the active medicinal principle
of sulphur in a highly concentrated. effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of this form
of sulphur In restoring and maintaining bodily
yigor and health sulphur acts directly on the
liver aud e1cretory organs and puriies and en-
riches the blood by the prompt elimination Of
waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us
with sulphur and molssses every spring and fall
but the crudity and inpurity of ordinary flowers
of SULPHUR were often worse than the disease and
cannot compare with the modern concentrated
preparations OF sulphur. of which Stuarts Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely
used.
They are the na'urai antuote liver ana KID
ney troubles and constipation aE1 purify the
blood in a way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DIR. r. NJ. wilkins. while experimenting with
sulphur remedies, found that the sulphur

says: For liver kidney and blood troubles. espe-
cially when resulting from constipation malaria.

Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients suffering
from hollis and pimples and even deep seated car
buncles have repeatedly seen them dry up and
disappear In four five days, leaving the skin

Great Things Promised for Remainder

Crowded Last Night

At the close of the first week of the pure

even Il greater success than last years.
The attendance. 1t is stated, is at least %
per cent greater than it was then; there are
four more exhibitors than before and the
samples a IA Wiley are more numerous
This was the result OF a survey of the first
week as outlined by Messrs. Rowe and
Green. the promoters. last evening. Next
week, it is declared. the exhibitors will be
even more generous than they were the
first week.

one of the booths at the show. attracted
the little ones attention, as he has that of
many patrons of the show. Chief Long
Feather is his name. and he keeps
weather eye out for any other Red Man

There are many things to do at the show,
and between the music of the ladies band,
the enticing voice of the man who has
something to give away and the sampling
of the various delicacies presented there is
little spare time. Few fail to stop at the
Kin Hee coffee booth. People are drawn
by the enticing odor. The Velvet Kind ice
cream, served at a large booth, cools the
heated brow, tickles the palate and serves
as a pretext for giving away games that
will amuse the children for years to come.

coming year is the calendar given away by

PARK OF ANALosTAN ISLAND.
John n. Doyle Writes to the Com
missioners Suggesting It.

To make Analostin Island a public park
was the suggestion contained in a letter
from John H. Doyle to the Commissioners
yesterday. Mr.. Doyle stated that the resi-
dents Of Georgetown are clamoring for a
park where they may get the benefits OF
pure air and recreation, which at present
are denied them.
Mr.. Doyle also said: at is certainly a
needed adjunct to the western portion of
our city, and hence I desire to recall an
utterance of yours. as expressed to me In a
letter in September, 1902. You were re-
spending to our Regatta Association with a
donation and you took occasion to say that
you had just returned from Detroit, Mich,
where you had visited Belle Isle.' their
river park and had been more than i'm
pressed with its beauty, and then, taking
up the theme, voiced your sentiments in
favor of aquatics on the Potomac river
and said you hoped to see the day when
Analostan Island would be the home or all
our clubs and that 1t would surpass the
famed Belle Isle of Detroit.
AnaloStan Island as public park, is one
of the logical deductions, and the best one
that can be advanced as 1t will not only
afford a reserve for thousands, but it will
also give our young people a swimming
beach, the oarsmen a home, and would In
every respect fill the void the West End
has felt all these years"

The $50 acres originally acquired by the
exposition company at first seemed amply
large enough for their purposes. but later
proved woefully inadequate. Extra acres
were found necessary for the accommoda-
ton of GU. own and foreign troops. and the
continued growth of general interest in the
exposition which passed beyond merely
national, International and state partici-
patton and extended into the region of
cities and associations, compelled the ac-
QUESTION of more territory and the develop
ment of every portion of the original tract.
When cities like Washington, Boston,
Philadelphia, New York and others of
smaller size, but great Importance, evinced
an intention Of making municipal exhibits.
when the great national associations of
the country expressed their desires to have
headquarters on the grounds, it was i'm
possible to deny the request. So this ex-
position, created to celebrate the 30Oth an
niversary of the nations birth, has grown
from somewhat small beginnings into an
affair of great magnitude and of surprising
interest.

New Jamestown-it may be much more
durable than its great progentor, yet alike
as a creative force. The interest which has
been manifested by the states and by the
citizens of the various commonwealths may
perhaps be credited, in a considerable meas
ure to this very idea of creating a perma-
nent memorial. The splendid cities which
yesterday were and today are not distress
the average American. 1t seems such q use
less waste of money and effort to create
such monumental piles as those which stood
at st. Louis or Chicago, when speedy demo-
lition was their assured doom. At New

The societies have especially taken inter-
est in the permanent idea. Climatic and
health conditions combine to make the site
desirable for homes, and the certainty that
other lasting structures are erecting, in

position is impressive to any one unaccus-
toned to follow carefully the development
of these great enterprises. The entire IN
closure is as well supplied with sewerage
and water systems as any modern city.
A fire-ighting force, police department
and secret service are developed to model
efficiency. The department of works is
like a municipal government, with its many
branches. Everything seems to move with
machine like precision and no one on the
ground entertains any doubt about open

Progress Of Development.
To get any idea, even loose one, of
what this statement actually conveys some
facts must be considered. The exposition
site was a barren stretch less than two
years ago. To be completed next April,
the following works must have been &C
complished:
Ten miles Of sewerage installed.
Fifteen miles of water pipe laid.

of Alexandria county. The scaffold was
loaned to the county officials by Sheriff F.
G. ROrabaugb Of Prince William county
Va. Several people have been executed on
the same scaffold. When the work of put
ting the scaffold together was begun 1t was
1t, as it had previously been used for the
execution Of two men at one time.
The scaffold Is situated in the southeast
corner of the Jail and is surrounded by a
board fence sixteen feet high, enclosing q
space thirty-two feet long and sixteen feet
wide. The fence Is intended to keep the
curious from viewing the execution, as
there is no Jail yard at the courthouse. Ar
rangements have been made for the few
spectators who will be present to witness
the execution. The sheriff has not issued
any invitations. and only about twelve peo-
pie are expected to be present, which will
include two or three DOCTORS a number of
county officials and a number of newspa-
per men.

will be unable to witness the execution and
at given rap he will do his work. Wright
will be led from the east side OF the Jail

numbering thirteen, to his fate.
When seen this afternoon in the corridor
at the county jail by a reporter for The
Star, Wright was pacing w and down and
was very nervous. lie continues to deny
his guilt, and exclaimed: IF they hang
me they will hang an Innocent man: God
knows they will
The prisoner says that he spends his
time reading the Bible and praying
IF they hang me right now l don't care
They can do away with my body, but not
with my SOUL" Wright said in a rather
Subdued tone of voice.
When asked as to whether not he
would get a new trial, the prisoner replied
that he did not know Wright however, is
as yet buoyed up by the hope of a new trial.
The prisoner said that he was aware of the
fact that the scaffold for his execution had
been erected.
Asking for Money.
Outside of his cell he has a small cigar
box with a sign containing the following
printed thereon: PLEASE help me towards
a new trial. Any amount acceptable. God
pleSS you. Nner questioned as 10 what
he intended to do with the money the con-
demned man replied that he would give it
to his mother. The box contained only 30
cents.
The mother of Wright visited him this
morning and had a long talk with him.
Rev. Jacob NJ. Williams, colored, a Baptist
minister also paid visit to the prisoner
this morning and prayed with him for some
time The accused man has also received
visits from several other white and colored
ministers. who live in the county. 1t is
understood that Wright this morning wrote
letter to Hannah Thomas, colored, his
common-law wife. who resides in AleXan-
dria, and among other things, he said:
Don't talk too much; you don't know who
your friends now
The Jail officials say that Wright eats and
sleeps very well and that he is not, to all
appearances, much troubled about his fate,
Notwithstanding the fact that he has but
six more days TO live.
The execution will take place between
