GREAT NAVAL DISPLAY.
Hampton Roads to be the Scene of
A Brilliant Marine Spectacle
During Exposition.

No more appropriate place than
Hampton Roads could be imagined
as a setting for the naval rendez-
vous to be held there next year in
connection with the jamestown Ter
Centennial Exposition, Commemor-
ating the landing Of the early Eng
lish colonists, at Jamestown, Va,
not far away. The Exposition is on
the southern shore of Hampton
Roads not far away from the clus-
tering cities of Tidewater, Virginia.
Almost equidistant from the site
are the cities of Norfolk, Ports
mouth, Newport News and Old
Point Comfort. At this latter spot
is the Governments greatest artil-
lery station and the waters in front
of it has long been used as rendez-
vous for the fine ships of Uncle
Sans navy. The water is of suf-
ficent depth to float the largest bat
tleship and placid enough to lull
anyone to sleep on the tiniest pleas
ure craft.
For miles the great roadstead
stretches away from the site Of the
Exposition grounds, encircled with
spots recalling every epoch Of the
martial history of the United States.
First and foremost of these is, OF
course, the great fort at Old Point
Comfort, known as Fortress Monroe.
The waters include the scene
of the battle between the Mon
itor and the Merimac, of Virginia.
They once floated British sailors in
a fierce attack made on Craney's
Island in the harbor. The attack
was repulsed with great loss. John
Paul Jones was a frequent visitor,
coming down in his yacht from his
plantation, on the banks of the Rap
pahannock. The Constitution and
the Constellation sailed from its
waters on famous cruises, which
brought them and tkeir commanders
eternal glory. The Inflated Chesa-
peake set forth from Hampton Roads
on the cruise which was to humiliate
her commander by his being obliged
to surrender with almost no resis-
lance. Sewell's Point. the site OF
the Exposition, was. during the
Civil War. the location of Confed'
crate battery and was repeatedly
shelled by Union war vessels.
On the other side of the roadstead
is Hampton Roads, now the location
of the Soldiers Home, carried during
the Revolution by British troops
Nearby is Smithfeld, where lies
buried the remains of many OF
the early colonists. Indian relic:
abound in the region about Hamp
ton Roads.
Such will be the stage setting Of

the greatest marine spectacle ever
gathered on any waters for the de-
light of thousands.

Hard to Account for Ii.

Why any one should take the
trouble to discuss such revolving
subjects as experimental marriage
and kindred subjects. is surprising.
There are so many things in the
world that ought to be interesting to
clean, pure-minded people that it is
a wonder that any one should thrust
such subjects upon them.

Whale Killing With Electricity.

An ingenious Yankee sea captain
has invented an apparatus with
which he thinks whales can be killed
by electric shock. A harpoon is
fixed at the end of a long, metallic
cable, properly insulated, and which
serves in place of the usual rope.
Through this cable an electric cur
rent of 10000 volts is to be sent by
means of a dynamo carried on the
whaleboat. No whale will be able
to withstand such shock.

E. C. Dewitt & Co., Chicago, at
whose labratory Kodol is prepared,
assures US that this remarkable d.
gestant and corrective for the stom-
ach conforms fully to all provisions
of the National Pure Food and Drug
Law. The Kodol labratory is very
large one, but If all the sufferers
from indigestion and stomach
troubles could know the virtues of
Kodol it would be impossible for
the manufacturers to keep up with
the demand. Kodol is sold here byall
druggists. m

Long-Lost Treasure Found.

The director Of the treasury Of
Brazil while hunting for some lost
papers has made an astonishing dis
covery. A box which had not appar-
emily been disturbed for many years
was found to contain gold, silver and
diamonds to the value at least $780,
600. Among the valuables recovered
are the imperial crown and scepter
of Brazil, valued at sos, 900 and the
imperial mantle, bordered with gold.
The box in which the treasure was
found is believed to have been depos-
tied in the treasury since 1886.

IHE above picture OF the
man and fish is the trade
mark ofScott's Emulsion,

and is the synonym for
strength and purity. 1t is sold
in almost all the civilized coun-
tries of the globe.
IL the cod fish became extinct
it would be a worldwide calam-
ity, because the oil that comes
from it's liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott's Emul-
sion found a way of preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of
the oil without the Objectionable
taste. Scott's Emulsion is the
best thing in the world for weak,
backward children, thin, delicate
people, and all conditions OF
wasting and lost strength.

GO BEGGING
Do Government Jobs Because
Wages Are Too Low and Ex-
aminationS Too High.

Everybody except Uncle Sam is
raising wages and the result is that
Uncle Sam is getting short of help,
says a Washington dispatch. People
used to stand in line for jobs under
the government. They don't do it
any more. The government stands
in line in many parts of the country
and it is clear down to the small end
of the line. too-filing its applica-
tions for persons to work for it and
not getting them.
The postoffice service in large re-
regions is in a serious condition for
want of clerks. They cannot be had
at the wages paid. So serious, in
fact. has this become that the civil
service examinations for many class
es of positions have had to be toned
down in order that people willing to
take the positions can get through
the tests and reach the eligible lists.
This, according to an official of the
commission. has had to be done in a
number Of cases.
This official tells of one $75 per
month postofiice clerkship that was
offered in turn to every one of a
dozen persons who had taken and
passed the examination. All refus-
ed it and second examination fail
ed to secure an eligible, who would
take the post when it was rendered
him. 1t can't raise wages out of
hand just because 1t needs people.
Congress hasn't fixed things that
way.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and thai is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
-tachian Tube. When this tube is in.
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this table restored 10 its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but az dn-
.Aamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by ca.
tarrhl that cannot be cured by Hall's
