Prices in Norfolk.
Well Informed Richmond Man Says
Prices at Hotels and Restaurants
in Norfolk are About the Same
as Usually Prevail in Richmond
Cafes Of the Same Class About
Half What They Were in Chicago
and St. Louis.

Richmond, Va, July 17.-John S.
Munce, a prominent Richmond BUSH
ness man declared yesterday that he
did not think full justice was being
done the jamestown Exposition.
Mr.. Munce said:
81 went to Chicago, st. Louis, Buffalo,
Charleston, Atlanta and to the James
town Exposition. | do not regard the
Jamestown Exposition as being so i'm
mense as Chicago or st. Louis, or is it
altogether so harmonious in coloring
as the Buffalo Exposition. The Colonial
scheme of architecture at jamestown,
however, | regard as making it distinct
i've from all other expositions, and is
most beautiful The water front avenue,
on which most of the State buildings
face. is worth trip to see. When the
government pier is finished and delivered,
which | am told will be within thirty
days, the view of the buildings around
Raleigh Court. with the wide, open sea
in front. will surpass any OF the Exposi-
tons heretofore held in this country.
THE exhibits OF the various States are
splendid, and equal, if not superior, to
any previous expositions, the Virginia
State exhibit being far in advance of
anything which has previously been
done, with the Carolinas and Georgia
pushing her pretty hard for first place.
The exhibits in the other buildings are in
sufficient variety and large enough to
satisfy any one The condensed exhibits
make them really more valuable than
the spread out condition, as, for instance,
at st. Louis.

it surpasses anything OF the kind ever
| attempted before, and by itself is well
| worth the whole trip, if nothing else
| were there.
"After a number o: visits to the James
town Exposition, on some CT which my
family accompanied me. wish to say
| that prices at restaurants, hotels and
| such places are about the same as usu-
| ally prevail in Richmond cafes OF the
same class, and about half the prices
charged ut st. Louis and Buffalo.

The Alderman Family.

Commenting on the Alderman fam
lily reunion which will be held at the
jamestown Exposition beginning to-
day aug. u the Greensboro Record
says this:
That is going to be a notable gather
ing of the Alderman family at the James
town Exposition next month. A num-
Der of them reside here and it is said in
tracing the generation it is found that
an Alderman of the original stock lives
in almost every State in the Union.
Seems to be quite as numerous as the
Smith family.
The idea of such reunion orig
mated with Prof. j. L. Alderman,
Superintendent Of the Henderson
Graded Schools, and he has received
letters from hundreds of the "clan"
from all parts of the country, among
them many very prominent men rep
resenting almost every profession
and business calling, expressing a
determination to attend. If all the
other Aldermans average up to the
North Carolina Alderm ans they are
all right-worthy bearers of an hon
orable name

GUSTS BLAKEMORE
Judge Gest Enters Order Re-
moving and Dismissino Re-
porter of Circuit Court.
ANNULS ALL APPOINTMENTS
Had Been Connected with Court Since
18S7-Differences Over Selection
Two Years Ago.

Herbert d. Blakemore was removed
and dismissed as court reporter for,
the circuit court this noon by an order
of Judge w. H. Gest, filed with the
circuit clerk. The order entered by
the judge annuls all orders appointing
Blakemore, and orders him removed
and dismissed from his position as
court reporter. No explanation is
made of the action.
Appointed by Judge Gest.
Blakemore has been connected with
the circuit court here since the SOS,
and has been official court reporter
since 1887, when the law creating
that Office was passed. He has served
continuously under Judge Gest since
that jurist's election
Two years ago when the other
judges of the 14th judicial district de-
clined to appoint Blakemore. Judge
Gest favored the local man, and named
him as court reporter. There was
some little difficulty among the judges
at that time as to the manner of ap-
pointment of court reporter, but
BlakemOre's appointment by Judge
Gest was respected by the other
| judges, and except when engaged in
other counties, Blakemore has contin-
ued to serve as court reporter here
under all of the judges.
Complaints Made.
The charge has often been made
that Mr.. Blakemore has been inclined
to draw hasty conclusions of litiga-
ton in the court, and even to take
sides and go so far as to express his
opinions as to what course the court
should take or would be likely to take,
thus giving offense to members of the
bar interested in the cases. Complaint
has been made that the reporter in
this respect exceeded propriety, as he
was employed merely to take record
of the proceedings of the court, purely
as stenographer.

The auto and the carriage were piled
up On the avenue on the island out OF
the way of traffic and were later re-
moved Both are practically worthless
as a result of the collision. The car
riage was smashed into splinters and
when help came, was found piled on

The horse was badly injured also.

ing run down by an au,o on Fifth ave-

was crossing the avenue near Thirtieth

Christmas Registration Larger Than
for Several Years, Despite the
NDuIIness of Business.

Despite the recent financial difficult
ties which have affected the business
world, the registration at the Rock Is
land hotels yesterday was much larger
than for several years, and the fact
seems to indicate that the effect of
money conditions on travel has not
been serious. Proprietor McHugh of
the Harper says that the registration
at that hostelry yesterday was larger
than on Christmas day for at least a
half dozen years.
