founder Of the first permanent English
colony in America. The idea appealed
to the general so strongly that before
the exhibit was over he had decided to
intrust the work to his friend to be pre-
sented to Virginia upon his return to
the states. Governor Swanson and COM
mittees from both branches of the legis-
lature received the gift with fitting
ceremonies. 1t will in all probability be
installed in a niche of the rotunda, cor
responding to the one now occupied by
Houdon's statue of Lafayette.
The natives of South Africa call Ba-
den-Powell the Wolf that never sleeps,
and the servants of his household de-
clare that he accomplishes his days
work before the rest of his family are
thinking about beginning theirs. He
works very rapidly and turns out his
studies in marvelously short time, the
bust Of Smith being completed in about
two months, only two hours day being
spent on 1t. The task was a difficult
one, however, and in this connection
the general said.
Take, for instance, the question of
expression. Smith was a soldier, a
sailor and an administrator. and II is
hard to give hints of three callings in
a single face"
Another difficulty encountered by the
sculptor was the lack of authentic por-
traits of his model. There were only two
of these in the possession of his FAM
lily; but learning OF the whereabouts
of better ones I'm this country, he man
aged finally to procure copies of them.
With these and valuable data, in con-
nectlon with his own scientific calcula-
tions, he want to work, the result being
the production of a masterpiece that
has won the unanimous approval of
London professionals.
The jamestown tercentennial expo
sition, to be held on the shores of Hamp-
ton roads In 1907, has aroused national
interest in the early colonial history Of
this country and especially In the life Of
the first English settlement on James
town island, i'm which Captain John
Smith took such an active and promi-
nent part. The gift Of Baden- Powell,
coming at this time, Is especially ap-
preciated by the state as II will make
most valuable addition to the histor-
cal exhibit Of the "old Dominion" at the
tercentennial.

NEW YORK, oct. 6.-New Workers
are about to witness the most brilliant
opera season in the citys history, a
season that will be literally blaze of
glory. The crimson horseshoe at the
metropolitan will sparkle with historic
gems which have not graoed its ex-
elusive confines for many seasons. and
TO this will be added new tiaras, plas-
irons and stomachers, upon which the
plebeian public has never been per-

millions in gems viii flash from private
boxes to distract attention from the

IT has been an open secret for many
seasons that very few real gems have
graced the opera season. Some of So
ciety's richest matrons have practically
eschewed Jewels at the opera, and
others have gone so far as TO have
clever paste reproductions of their
famous treasures made for opera wear
This was not because society is un-
gracious enough to bar the plain opera

Special to The Herald.
NORFOLK, Va. Oct. GA bust of
Captain John Smith, executed by GEN
eral Baden-Powell, the famous English
soldier, the hero of Mafeking, has been
presented by the soldier-sculptor to the
state of Virginia and has recently ar
rived at Richmond, where 1t will be
placed permanently in the state capitol.
The bust comes to Virginia as most
interesting and appropriate gift just at
this time, when preparations are in
progress for the jamestown tercenten-
tennial exposition of 1907. which will
commemorate the first permanent
English settlement in America, brought
about through the courage and abilities
of John Smith as a colonizer.
General Baden-Powell, who made the
bust, comes from the same stock as the
redoubtable colonizer. his family being
the direct descendants of a brother of
the captain His ability as a sculptor
has long been demonstrated by the ia
vorable comment unanimously given by
art critics, and the liberal offers made
for it's purchase by collectors Pos
sessed of unlimited means, however, the
proper placing of the bust was the inn
portant point with it's creator.
At a private exhibit IN London last
December Judge Charles Mayer. a Vir-
ginlan and close friend Of the gem

walls of mahogany, with Greek borders,

deadens sound under foot, a table
broad enough to hold the gems of the
society world, is in matching mahogany
and from floor to ceiling there rises
mighty mirror, in which. by the aid
of electric globes, the rare jewels are
enhanced a hundred fold.
The skillful maid has adjusted the

Three a. m. The opera house is
shrouded in linen and darkness, the
cotillon is over, the last glass of cham
pagne has been drained, the flowers are
withered-and Miladi leans back in her
carriage. her faithful maid in front, her

The latter has given an order to the

Imagine then, the opera season
open. Miladi Millionaire is diping out
at 1880. At Z she enters the great por-
tails of the Night and Day bank. Myriad
lights in the dome of Alabama marble,
which is striking feature of the en-
trance, shed over her lushous gown a
veritable moonlight tint, frosty and ex-
quisite. She traverses the marble floor
with deft maid in attendance, past
bronze gratings to a small room, wainS-
coted in mahogany, to a tiny elevator,
as crimson in its fittings as the Metro
politan's parterre To be sure tits but
a few steps to the safety vaults in the
basement but Miladi must be spared
even this exertion.
She finds herself i'm another domed
room, guarded by two life-size figures,
Night and Day. done in Alabama mar
BILE, which at night takes on most re-
markable shadows akin to life. The
superintendent rises to receive her. A
uniformed attendant swings back mas
sve steel doors. She crosses a narrow
corridor and enters the vault room
proper, lined with steel doors, and hum
dreds upon hundreds of them. Her
maid produces n tiny key. Mladi opens
one of the small steel doors, whose lock
has been set in a combination known
to no one save herself. She draws forth
long, narrow box, raises the lid, un-
folds the chamois skin and the glory of
the Kimbereys and the orient is spread
before her.
Followed by her maid she once more
crosses the narrow corridor, passes un-
der the great dome and the figures of
Night and Day TO a dressing room es-
pecially equipped for her luxurious
comfort. Even as she goes the eyes OF

hour of retiring and the time of her

next morning-that was the rub-and
there lay the danger.
Champion Jewel Display Promised
Last season the presence of the mys-
terlous society Raffles made the wear
ing of gems more dangerous than ever.
Fashions queens, in despair, locked
their opera gems in safety vaults, and
the grand parterre turned dingy. But
this year-behold the transformation.
Melba will be dazzled by million scin-
tillating CLEANS when she steps upon
the stage. Caruso will bow, not 10
American womanhood as personified in
the boxes, but to the display of jewery
which will seem like an eruption of the
Kimberley mines.
And why this sudden change?
A banking institution which expended
$4,000 to make its facilities peculiarly
attractive to women, had the wit to es-
tablish a system whereby leaders of
fashion and society might drop into a
magnificently appointed room on their
way to the opera house and, after

Died

Charles c. Mahan, SON of D. c.
and Sarah Mahan. Charles was a
native son of Meade Co.; having
been born here April IL, 1886, and
with the exception of five years spent
in Missouri, Meade county has been
his home.
Charles was an industrious young
man. A year ago last winter he ex-
posed himself feeding cattle and
froze his hands and feet, contracted
rheumatism and last January it de-
veloped into quick consumption.
Last June he went to Colorado
Springs seeking to regain his health,
but the disease could not be checked
and August the end he gave up the
ghost.
The funeral was held at the Bap-
tist church in Meade, conducted by
Rev. Robinson assisted by Rev.
Ross. Interment was made in
Graceland Cemetery.
The whole community sympathize
with the family in their great sorrow.

The teachers employed for the
Meade Schools for the coming veal
are as follows:

Miss Sylvia Beach, Grammar
Miss Helen Spect, intermediate
Miss Pearl Fuller, end Primary
Mrs. Backe, Primary
The Grammar and the Intermedi-
ate teachers are new ones and we
know nothing about them, but pre-
sumo they were properly recon-
mended to the board.
We have no criticism to offer, as
the Board no doubt used their best
judgment in the matter. but we are
opposed to importing teachers into
the county when there are home
teachers who are equally qualified to
fill the positions. 1t does not speak
very well for the forty odd teachers
who attended Meade County Nor
NAL that there were not two with the
ability to teach in the Meade schools.
We believe in employing home talent,
and the old timers in every instance,
especially when they are equally
qualified.
