DAZZLING ILLUMINATION.
Not Even the Most Gorgeous
Pyrotechnics Ever Undertaken
Equalled the Vessel and
Harbor Illumination on
the Opening Night of
the jamestown
Exposition.
(By w. H. Bright.)

Wy W. IL DTlRnt.)
Norfolk. Va.-There have been many
fierce conflicts upon the waters of
Hampton Roads, but the fire of
belching cannon, and Kissing, bursting
shell-the deadly combat between the
Monitor and the Merrimac in 1852, was
nothing compared with the scene
enacted on these historic waters on the
night Of April 26th. 1907. The burning
of Rome, the destruction of the cities
of Pompeii and Herculaneum were no
doubt grand, but they were also
terrible. The scene upon Hampton
Roads was grand beyond the power of
the pen to describe, while it was abso-
lutely devoid of the terrible.
Placidly lying at anchor on Hampton
Roads when the sun went down en- the
evening Of the 28th of April, were
American and foreign war vessels, in
solid but friendly phalanx, covering a
distance of not less than ten miles. AS
darkness settled over the face of the
waters, few lights tiickered here and
there, subdued by the silvery moon
beams that fell like shenn upon the
land and sea
The great array of death-dealing,
iron-clad monsters were dimly out
lined, until, at a given signal about
Z 80, every ship blazed forth in lines Of
electric fire 1t was so sudden and so
grand that the silence Of the thousands
upon the waters and shores attested an
admiration too deep TO be expressed in
word or sound.
There they lay, every outline of hull
and bridge and deck and funnel and
stock, lined in living fire. Nothing
like it has ever been seen before, and
outside the Jamestown Ter-Centennial
Exposition, will probably never be
seen again. With the ships in the
harbor blaze of glory, and the
buildings ashore scarcely less gorgeous
the entire scene was one so grand, so
uniquely splendid that those who saw
it will never forget. 1t was feature
alone unparalleled in the history Of
expositions, and in the history of the
world
The illumination of shore and harbor
and vessels, by an element the widest
scientific dreamer had not conceived
when the event occurred that the Ter
Centennial Exposition celebrates, is
one incident alone that demonstrates
the giant strides that have been made
since the. pilgrims landed upon
Americas shores.
The searchlights of the various war
vessels time and again shot out their

Mr.. Drinker.

You, of course, know that no man
who drinks to excess enjoys his full
measures of success in life. About
three out of every four men who say
and perhaps really believe, that they
drink moderately really drink to ex-
cess, and the fourth man will probably
be doing so five years from now. Look
into the lives today of twenty men
whom you knew as moderate drinkers
twenty or even ten years ago. How
many of them can truly be called mod.
crate drinkers todayY How many have
prospered? How many have happy
homes? How many are held in high
esteem by the community? How
do you really retain their own self re,
spect? Now, what are your own pros.
pects9 Are you SO much smarter thar
other men? Are you differently con-
stituted, and do you think you are i'm
mune to the degrading and enslavine
influence of alchel Every gutter
drunkard of today was thinking ter
years ago that he would not permit
liquor to get him down; that he would
certainly quit drinking if he could not
drink respectfully, DON'T YOU
THINK 1T W0UD BE WELL FOR
YOU TO QUIT DRINKING BEFORE
YOU HAVE GONE FATHER ON
THE DOWNWARD ROAD? You can
quit easier now than after another
years drinking. Resolved to quit
right now, not next week, but NOW.
II you find that liquor has control of
you; that you do not feel natural or
comfortable without liquor; that with
out it you are sometimes nervous, de-
pressed, melancholy; that the whole
world seems to be going wrong; that
you do not enjoy your meals, and get
little or no really quiet, restful sleep,
and have q yearning for your usual
stimulent; it is because you have
taught your nerve cells to depend
upon your stimulents, and they are
not normal without them.

piercing rays, tnrning into broad day
light the darkest nooks and corners
along Hampton Roads, but gorgeous,
weird and wonderful as was the illu-
mination on the night of the Goth, it is
only the initiative of the greater and
grander scenes that will follow when
the government piers are finished, and
the system of submerged harbor illu-
mination is installed
But, as it is, the illumination of the
opening night so far eclipsed the most
gorgeous pyrotechnic display ever
attempted, that there is positively no
comparison.

Epidemic of RunaWays.

Florence June 25.-tspecial)-A cpl demic of runaways is raging in Florence, the like of which was never seen before. The highwater mark was reached about ten days ago when six were recorded in one day and they have been very frequent ever since. This afternoon a fine horse valued at $500, the property of MT. Mel Pride took fright as he was being har- messed to a buggy and after smashing the buggy continued his flight around and around town. finally dashing through the narrow hall of an office building with the shafts hanging to him. The horse was badly cut on wire fence and one foot lacerated. Almost simultaneously a bad runaway occurred in East Florence. a large horse smashing his wagon against an iron post with such force that the axle was almost wrapped around the post.

the determined purpose of foreign banks to build up their reserves in part to the expectation of short crops, which will necessitate heavy payments for imported breadstuffs and perhaps reshipments of gold later On the other hand New York authorities are inclined to explain the scanty supplies of exchange as due to the disinclination to offer bills against future grain and cotton exports.
 A good impression was caused by the success of the $6,OO0,000 Philadelphia 4 per cent bond issue The bid of syndi- cate at 10ON was followed by reported resales by the syndicate up to 1021a and bids above that. This incident was re- garded as having an important bearing on the coming sale of $29,0oo0o0 New York city bonds on Friday of this week. The very favorable crop conditions reported by the weekly bulletin of the weather bureau was a help to the market.
 The driving in of a short interest also helped the strength. Numerous gains of 1 to points were shown in the last hour by all classes. The gains were held to the strong and active closing. Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value $1, ,0S0,000 United States 3s advanced F per cent on call

COTTON ADVANCES
 F ID 13 PO|NTS Offerings Heavy Shortly After
 the Opening END OF SEASON SQUEEZE A Strong Bull Support Comes Late In the sesslon-WeekIy Weather
 as Favorable as Was
 Expected.

New York, June 26.-After some little irregularity late in the day the cotton market advanced and closed firm at a net gain of 12 to 13 points. Sales for the day were estimated at SOO00O bales.
 The opening was barely steady at an advance of to 12 points, August show ing the maximum gain on covering of shorts and higher cables than expected. But offerings were quite heavy at the advance, particularly for the new crop, owing to the favorable weather reported in the south, and expectations of bear ish weekly report from the weather bu- reau at midday. Prices eased off to a decline of about to points on tho more active months under these offerings, with August continuing to hold over the clos ing figures of yesterday.
 Then the whole list flrmed up on moro aggressive buying by bull leaders and a more urgent demand from shorts The high point was reached in the last few minutes of the day, and the close was within or points of the best.
 The weekly report of the weather bu- reau was quite as favorable as had been expected, and had evidently been dis counted in advance.
 Private reports from the south contin- ueu bullish, and rumors were afiost con- corning the possibility of an end-season squeeze, which restricted short selling.

SUDDEN ACTIVITY
 IN STOCK MARKET Absence ot Selling Even With UnfaVorable Factors PRlGES GO UP EASILY The Market Is Taken In Hand With Vigor and Gains Hold to Strong
 closing-6ond Market
 Was Irregular.
PRItES GO UP EASILY

New York, June 26.-The stock market was taken in hand today with more vigor and determination than for some time past. The initial movement was supposed to be largely professional but the ap- pearance of confidence even amongst pro- fessional operators was distinct change from the recent profound apathy of the market. Rumor was busy with the prob able origin of the suddenly developed activity which was attributed largely to professional operations as concerned in the upward movement.
 There was also an almost total absence of selling pressure notwithstanding some news of an unfavorable character. It was found easy to bid up prices without bringing out any overwhelming offerings of stocks at the higher prices. There was a marked movement in speculative senti- ment in London and this relieved the local market from a factor which has helped to keep 1t back. A rebound of 1916 in British consuls was striking testi- mony to the improvement in the invest ment feeling in London.
 Apparently fears of trouble at the fort nightly stock market settlement in pro- gress there have subsided. Discounts re- ceded, although London took $1, ,O0O000 in gold in this market for shipment tomor- row. This continued drain on bank re- serves cannot fail to complicate the money situation, with the semi-annual settle ments. The stock market ignored this Influence.

Saturday s surplus reserve even with last weeks aug nentation, stood at only $6626 500. It is the opinion amongst foreign bankers that the gold export movement may extend considerably further. The Imperial Bank of Germany showed some betterment of conditions and confidence at Paris was restored with the' 'subsldence of the more alarming demonstrations in South France
