jamestown Fair Opens.

In celebration Of the three hundredth
anniversary of the first permanent set
Element of English speaking people on
the American continent, made at James
town, Va, early in 1907, the James
town exposition was thrown open to the
public Friday, April 26th.
President Roosevelt touched the golden
button which opened the great fair and
set the machinery of the exposition in
motion. simultaneously the foreign and
American warships in the harbor and the
adjacent garrison at Fortress Monroe
gave salute to the nation.
Then came one of the most inspiring
scenes of all. AS the echoes of the sa-
lutte died away all the bands on the expo
sition grounds played in union the "Star
Spangled Banner" As the first notes
burst forth all the troops on parade pre-
sented arms, and all present rose and re-
NAMED standing throughout the singing
as salute to the national anthem.
The parade, of which General Freder-
lex Dent Grant was the grand marshall,
was then reviewed by the president. 1t
was participated in by the soldiers, sail
ors and marines of this and many foreign
governments, the national guard and the
governments of states having military
representation in the parade. On the
reviewing stand besides the president and
his cabinet were the diplomatic corps,
officers and directors of the exposition
company, members of congress, the gen.
eral assembly of Virginia, United States
and state commissioners to the exposi-
ton, official representatives of the states
of the Union and municipal officers of the
cities surrounding Hampton Roads.
The governors of the following states
were present with their stats: Maryland,
Mississippi, Connecticut, West Virginia,
Rhode Island, Georgia, North Carolina,
Virginia, Louisiana, Delaware, New
Hampshire, Florida, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Alaba-
ma and Indiana.
The opening was attended by much
pomp and ceremony. At sunrise the Nor
folk Light Infantry Blues, stationed at
the exposition grounds, fired salute of
800 guns. President Roosevelt came
from Washington on the United States
steamer Mayflower and on his arrival in
Hampton Roads received the presidents
salute of twenty-one guns from each of
the American war vessels and from a
feet of foreign warships, repre-
senting the navies of the world, at anch-
or in Hampton Roads. When he arrived
at the exposition grounds he was met by
q military escort and saluted by the Unit
ed States artillery stationed there. He
was then escorted to the receiving stand,
where the principal exercises of the day
took place.
Bishop Alfred Magill Randolph, bishop
Of the Episcopal diocese of southern Vir-
ginia, made the opening prayer, after
which Harry st. George Tucker, presi-
dent of the exposition company, made an
address and introduced President Roose-
velt.

Huge Pier Falls.

One of the most notable disasters that
have occurred in Baltimore in recent years
was caused last Saturday by the collapse
of Pier 8, at Andre street, Locust Point,
which was being constructed at cost OF
$750, 900 for the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company. Three persons were kill
ed and eighteen injured.
The property loss is estimated at $3.50, =
600. The pier will be rebuilt.
Great confusion followed the collapse
of the immense structure and it was at
first reported that $50 had been killed.
A disturbance like q tidal wave was
caused in the harbor.
That the pier was in danger was known
a week ago, but the officers of the con-
struction companies did not expect 1t to
collapse. They were trying to strength
en- it when the crash came.

Fancy Shirt Waists.

The latest thing in shirt waists are the
models with the frilled effects, or Marie
Antoinette ruffles, as they are called.
The very prettiest of the new designs in
these waists are shown in the patterns
illustrated in the May number Of McCall's
Magazine.
Among waists of this sort are models
of batiste and lawn of very fine quality
with center box-pleats of insertion and
frills of embroidery. Other waists are
trimmed with lace insertion and have
frills of valenciennes.
Striped silk is also extremely smart
made up in this manner. Very charming
waists are made of bold striped patterns
of China silk, in light blue, pink and law
ender. The pleated frills are cut 30 that
the stripes run crosswise, while in the
waist itself they run up and down. May

Shipley's Addition To
ThurmOnt.

While all the property the late Charles
Shipley owned at this place-with the ex-
ception of the home place and land nd
jacent thereto wifi be sold, It is our de-
sire to call especial attention to the land
east of and adjoining the town, which has
been subdivided into building lots and
site for Summer Hotel.
We cannot too strongly urge those who
want desirable lots for building to attend
this sale, as, in our judgment it means
that there will be opportunities afforded
those looking for desirable sites which
will not be again offered for some time
to come.
AS location for summer cottages for
persons from the cities it is unsurpassed.
Its high location, magnificent view, near
ness to railroad facilities, pure mountain
water, all lend peculiar attractiveness to
these lots.
The general welfare of our town de-
mands as it seems to US, that every one
interested in the town should see to it
that any person desiring property in our
midst should be appraised Of this sale. 1t
is to be hoped that the Summer Hotel
project will not be lost sight Of. The23a
acres laid of for this is not only ample
for the purpose but contains ground SUI
ficient to build many more cottages on
the highest prominence Of this plat OF
ground.
The date of the sale is Saturday, May
18th. For particular description see adv.
in this issue and posters.

Tho Electric Road.

1t is interesting to know that the cleo
trio road is progressing SO satisfactorily
and good weather will aid very materially
to get the work of grading we'll pushed
ahead. There is now, all told, about five
miles graded and ready for ties and track,
all bridges and culverts having been COM
pleted, so that track laying can continue
without interruption. The road has
adopted the wise course of putting up
concrete bridges and drains which insures
durability for all time to come.
If good weather continues through this
week the tracks through Frederick will
all be laid and completed in every partic-
ular, including ballasting and bonding for
electricity. Cross ties are being received
daily in goodly quantities and many are
being made in the mountains for contin-
uous delivery.
And now a word to those who still
doubt--a few, but not many, who have
been and are still being led to believe
that the railroad will not be built at all,
or If built, will not be built to Thurmont.
Such statements by whom ever made, are
made from selfish motives which are cal
culated to injure our town, if it were
possible to do so, by INDUCING in such
idle talk. That people with good judy
ment will listen to or give credence to
this talk seems ridiculous to US. We
have so oft repeated the assertion that
the road mill be built and built to Thur
mont and Emmitsburg as well, that it
seems to US to be useless repetition of
these assertions to the "doubters" in our
midst. Within week or so we hope to
announce in these columns some facts
which will once, and for all set to rest
the talk INDUCED in by those who are
trying to prevent, rather than help, build
the much needed railroad.
