SECRETS OF THE SEA.
Mysteries of Disappearing Ships
Never UnraveIed.


Never UnraveIed.
Nothing is more fascinating than try
Ing to fathom the secrets Of the deep,
particularly when it comes to specu-
lating on the fate Of vessels which
have disappeared without known cause.
There are many such cases, and they
are absolutely battling. Ships have
gaily left port with every prospect OF
a safe voyage, never to be heard of
again.
What are the secrets Of these mystic
rious vanishings Of stately ships with
their crews and cargoes In 10 cases
out Of 20 the secrets lie with the ships
many fathoms deep, and will perhaps
never leap to light. To this day no
one knows what became Of the City of
Glasgow, which set her sails so gal
lantly In the Mersey half a century
and more ago, bound for Philadelphia.
She carried over 400 passengers and a
crew of 76; but she never reached Phil
adelphia, nor was she ever seen again
after the hills of Wales were lost to
view.
The Burvie Castle left London some
years ago on a long voyage to Austria
liza. She should have made a final call
at Plymouth, but she never came with
In sight Of the Hoe, nor has human eye
ever seen her from the day she dropped
down the channel. 1t was Oh May 10,
1854, that the Lady Nugent spread her
sails at Madras with 367 Of the Tween
ty-f1fth Madras Light Infantry and 9TH
er passengers aboard. Her destination
was Rangoon, but half a century has
gone and neither Rangoon nor any
other port has sighted her.
Nearly two years later the Collins
liner, the Pacific, dropped down the
Mersey with $50 souls on board. She
was accounted one Of the stoutest and
swiftest vessels Of her time-and so,
no doubt, she was But she went the
way the City Of Glasgow had gone a
couple of years earlier, and for 40 years
has been lying at the bottom Of the
sea-but where, none may know till all
secrets are revealed. The training YES
sci Atlanta started, a quarter Of CEN
fury ago, for a short cruise in Ber-
mudan waters and from that day to
this no one knows what became Of her
and the $50 souls she carried.
On January %, 1870, the City Of
Boston sailed from Halifax for En-
gland with 191 souls on board. She
was an Inman liner, fine ship, splen-
didly equipped and handled but she,
too, was destined to vanish from the
face Of the waters

she ayers, are the last in the body to
quiet down and the bandage has the
effect of Fastening the process.
Others have found that the inability

Having the head too high. When the
person lies fiat without any elevation
at the head, says the American Home
Monthly, the much-needed repose has
been obtained.
One of the most efficient remedies
for sleeplessness is to lie perfectly still
in bed, close the eyes, Oh. the lids, and
then, with the lids still closed, raise
the eyes to as high point as possible.
Retain them in this position as long
as possible. At first there may be a
consequent straining of the muscles,
and when this is noted it would be
well to desist for that night. But a
repetition of the practice will undoubt-
edly bring about the desired result.

BABY's ECZEMA GREW WORSE.

Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Re-

a Speedy, Permanent Cure.
Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
several doctors and hospitals, each Of
which gave us something different,
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last, one of our friends recommend
ed to US Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. A few days afterwards i'm
provement could be noted. Since then
we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now
the baby is six months old and is quite
cured. All that we used was one cake
of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, costing in all SIPS.

PRINCESS ENA HAS CHANGED.
Pretty Face Of the Queen of Spain
Now Looks More WOmanly.

Pretty Face Of the Queen of Spain
Now Looks More WomanIy.
Queen Victoria Eugene, as her Span
ish subjects call England's Princess
Ena, has changed in appearance since
she has been here, says a Madrid let
ter in the New York World. She now
looks much more womanly, and often
q sad expression clouds her pretty face,
which is perhaps not surprising when
one remembers the narrow escape she
had from the anarchists bomb on the
day Of her marriage. She is inclined
to stoutness, but Spaniards like mat
ronly women, and consider her all the
more beautiful on that account.
Apart from the occasional sad ex-
preston mentioned she seems to be
quite happy, and her young husband is
very devoted to her. Nor can she COM
plain Of any lack Of affection from
her royal mOther-in-law or the other
members of the Spanish royal family.
When seen in public the two queens
look very well, indeed-the stately Aus
trian and the young English girl, so
Saxon like, with her pink and white
complexion and golden locks. Both
queens are fond of beautiful clothes
and dress to perfection. The tasteful
half-mourning tints of Queen Christina
serve as a soft background for the
dainty bright blues and pinks Of Queen
Victoria Eugenie's attire.
The queens of Spain have always
been famous for their splendid jewelry,
and King Alfonso has given his wife,
among other things, a superb closed
coronet, which she wears on state occa-
sions, but she never looks so beautiful
as when wearing the splendid turquoise
ornament presented to her on her mar
riage by King Edward and Queen Alex
andra.

THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS
Will be Spent by County Fair
Board.
WORK WILL BE FINISHED
Before the Time of Holding
Big Fall Meeting.
Many Needed Improvements will
Take Place During the Summer
at the Fairgrounds.

Work will be started soon on
the improvements to be made at
the company fairgrounds this year.
Messrs. Cookston and Trey of the
executive board are now i'll Virgin
ia, attending the jamestown expo
sition and visiting other points of
interest in the Old Domain, and as
soon as they return, the board will
take up the matter Of making the
improvements.
"We intend to keep on making
improvements until everything on
the fairgrounds is the same as
new," said a member of the exc
cutive board today. "It is likely
that between $4,000 and $4,000 Will
be spent this year. ="
With the attendance at the an
nual fairs increasing continually,
the profits every year are getting
to be so large that the board has
little trouble in securing money
necessary for the improvements.
With good weather this year, it Is
expected that the fair will be the
biggest on record.
Under the new law governing
county fairs and their management
all profits must be applied to inn
proving the grounds or to making
the fair bigger and better.
The board has not decided def
nitely just what improvements will
be made and will not be able to
reach such a decision until the
work is started and the members
are better able to realize what is
actually needed.
1t is certain however. that a
new speed barn is to be built and
that the old vegetable hall will be
thoroughly remodeled and repair
ed. Another improvement for which
the chicken fanciers of the county
have been crying for a number Of

The meeting called TO order by William

that the object OF the conference was 10 discuss
a bill introduced in both houses of the Legis-
lature on the opening day of the session by SEN
atcr Charles H. Fuller. of Brooklyn. and Assem-
blyman NJ. c. Stanley Of Manhattan.
1T is the object of this conference to discuss
this question OF local railroad commission and
the framing of bill suitable 10 the local con-
ditons." said Mr.. Gibson. The bills which have
been introduced by Senator Fuller and Assem-
blyman Stanley have been indorsed by fifty
two local civic organizations"
Mr.. Gibson then commented upon the mes
sage of Governor Hughes in which he said that
the Governor had thoroughly discussed the
situation and evidently meant to secure another
Railroad Commission.
There is one important point only upon
which we differ from the Governor" said Mr.
Gibson, and that is regarding its makeup
We believe that the commission should be
made up OF local men, who thoroughly con-
versant with the exact situation. II is evident
however, that something will be done, and it
seems to me that now is the opportune time for
us to take action"
Mr.. Gibson then pointed out that Governor
