Continental Congress appropriated the sum of $5,500 for this purpose. It was found that 1t was impossible to erect anything creditable for less than &6s0o0, and Mrs. Purcelrs own chap ter, the Commonwealth Chapter of Richmond. promised to supply the ad- ditional sum. The house as reproduced Is more or less a modified edition of Melbourne Hall. and is quite attrac- tive. The diffeernt Virginia chapters have contributed antique furniture for this honor as well as many interest ing historical relics for the D. A. R. exhibit at the exposition. In addition to the building on the island, the ex- position management has erected a fire proof building on the grounds for the safe keeping of the relics loaned and collected by the D. A. R. through out the Union, and also those from the Smithsonian Institute.
 To-day is published the invitation from the Virginia Daughters, extended to each member of the association, to be with them in the Virginia State building on October Il. It is needless to add with what degree of hospitality they will be greeted and it Is hoped that many Alabama, chapters may be represented.

When the restoration began only the tower and some of the foundations re- mained. A new church, as much like the original as possible, was built onto the tower and around the old found- ations so that they may be seen.

The Hartford Times.
 It is fact of much political im- portance that the American people are still very much in the dark in re- gard to the manner in which money was extracted from the great corpora tions by the republican party during the last presidential campaign. It Is important because there is good req son to believe that if the truth about Mir. Roosevelt's close supervision of the collection of money from the so- called trusts were fully known tlSere would be a great change of popular sentiment toward him. The result would probably be to increase to ma tionaI proportions the feeling of those who are fully acquainted with what occurred in 1904, that the present ad- ministration at Washington Is abso- luteIy disqualified by what Mir Roosevelt did in that year to accom- pIish any lasting reform in the regu- iation of the great corporations of the country, or even sincerely to propose 1t, and that he Is equally disqualified for choosing his own successor or for having any important share in the work of nominatin gand electing that successor.
 It is very well known to every re- publican of prominence who had full knowledge of the management of the republican campaign in 1904 that E. H,

but merely told how much they were exepected to pay. If the s260.000 deal engineered by MT. Hartman at the close of the campaign was a corrupt bargain in which political favors were pledged as a consideration for the contribution of a bribery fund. what shall be said of that earlier assessment on the trusts whose right to the en- joyment of their tariff protection has been carefully guarded from that day to this. although sOsne of them have been haled into court for alleged vio- lations of the law against railroad re- bates?

TUMORS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. PinkhanFs
 Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia B. Pinkhaln's Vegetable Com pound is the conqueEing of woman's dread enemy Tumor.
 The growth of tumor is so in- sidious that frequently it's presence is wholly unsuspected until it is well advanced.
 So called wandering pains" may come from its early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh. !.
 II you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacements, secure bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, made from native roots and herbs, right away and begin it's use.
 The following letters should con vince every suffering woman of its virtue, and that it actually does conquer tumors.
 Mrs. May Fry, of sS6 W. Colfsx Ave, South Bend, Ind. writes l: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :-
 "I take great pleasure in writ ing to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I also took the Blood Purifier in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medicine removed a cyst tumor of four years growth, which three of the best physicians declared I had. They had said that only an operation could help me. am very thankful that followed friends advice and took your medicine. It has made me a strong and well woman and I shall recommend it as long as l live. !"

Hartman has told the absolute truth in regard to the way fin which he was besought from the White House to raise S200,000 to 'save" the state of New York during the last weeks of the campaign, and what he did in re- sponse to that earnest appeal The New York World has succeeded in ob- taining the names and amounts con- tributed by individuals in response to Mir. Harriman's efforts. Mir Harri- man gave more than any other person. Chauncey M. Depew raised $s5,000 (with the assurance of his reelection to the senate) and three directors of the Standard Oil Company gave $10,- 900 each. The Worlds list is likely to be often quoted in next years cam paign. Here it is:
 Edward H. Hartman .. z. ..$50,g60 IT, Nick Twombly Representing
 the Vanderbilt interests .. .. 25.00O Chauncey M. Depew (personaD 26.o0o James IIazen Hyde .. .... .. 2o,000 Tie Equitable life Assurance

 S5,0O0 each .. .. .. 35,000 Sent to Mfr. Hartman in smaller
 donations ... .. ..... .. .. so.ooo
 Total ..S260,00O
 With this s260.0Oo. as MT. Hartman has testified. 50.000 votes were changed in New York city alone dur ing the last week of the campaign. Mo- body will be so brazen-faced as to as- sert that it was not known how this money was to be used when the ad- managers bestirred themselves to get 1t, and caused MT. Hartman to feel that it would be "orth his while to act as the collec- tor. There is only one way in which so large a sum can be spent in the , closing days of a campaign in any state in the union.
 But the story will not be complete until we have that other and more im- portant list of Contributions" by great corporations. including the Standard oil Company. the United States steel corporation, and all the great New York Insurance companies, which was prepared under the eye of the managers. This list of contribu- tions was an assessment list made out on Mark Hanna's well-known plan. by which the big corporations were not ask how much they would give.

Wanted Money to come to America

wanted Money to Come to America.
 Eagerness to get to America and make fortune has made Joseph Lich- and. Swiss shepherd murderer. for according to his own confession he killed Robert Munziger, a wealthy young Alpinist, whose body has just been found.
 Michand, who described the crime in detail, declared with great callousness that he lay in wait on the Col de Balme for days, intending to waylay and mur- der the first unaccompanIed tourist who came along. He especially wanted to murder rich Englishman, in order to leave the country with his booty and start a business In America.
 Many Englishmen passed,' he added plaintively, but all were accompanied by guides or friends"
 On arriving at the village of Trient however, Wermelinger became i'll, and remained at the hotel. Munziger went on, and when he reached the summit of the Col de Balme, where the path skirts some precipitous rocks, he was attack ed by Michand, who was armed with large knife.
 After killing and robbing his victim Michaud dragged the body to a lonely spot and buried it, forgetting, however, to remove the traces of the crime. s,
 Guides searched the precipices of the Col de Balme for six days without flnd- ing the missing man, but on the sew enth they discovered traces of the struggle at the summit, and Munzfger's body was eventually disinterred.
 Michaud aroused suspicion by dis playing a large sum of money, as well as Munziger's watch, and he was finally arrested and taken to Martigny. At first he denied the crime, but after wards confessed in detail. He will be tried next week at Martigny.

 There are many other things of great interest at Jamestown Island which furnish food for thought, but time and space prevent my mention ing them. To student of history this spot is fraught with numberless pleas ures.
