JAMESTOWN TER-CENTENNIAL
viii Teach Valuable Lessons--A School For
Philosophers.

The Jamestown Exposition will APP
peal with compelling force to several
| classes of our citizenship. The pa
triot, who glories in his country's his
tory will visit the Exposition in order
10 learn more OF the nations story
which cannot be told in books and TO
view relics, documents and memorials
connected with the eras OF develop
ments which mark the three centuries
since first the English speaking colo
mics landed at jamestown and found
ed the settlement that was destined to
be the present Republic.
The student Of science, as applied to
every day life, will visit the EXPOSE
tfon in order TO observe the expert
ments conducted by the government,
especially those which form part Of
the functions of the Interior Depart
ment. In many various lines and in
diverse ramifications of selected sub
jects the Interior Department pursues
Investigations continuously. At the
jamestown Exposition n pIepondeT
ance of these Investigations and ex-
periments Will be conducted for the
purpose of showing visitors how to
utilize commercial products of the soil
and sub-soil, now regarded as useless
or impracticable.
The amateur in beauty of construc-
tion will be fascinated by the Exposi-
tion, because it will show an idealized
Colonial city, with no discordant note
or tumble of strange styles, nor meter
ogeneous themes of architecture. Barge
or small the buildings viii represent
an era in the worlds architecture
which was coincident with our coun-
try's early development and stands as
the only distinctive type of Amer
icas genius in building.
The citizen interested in his ma
tion's position as a world power
will be fascinated by the military
and naval display made by the Uni
ted States in connection with the sim
liar showings of foreign countries.

Adam Garis, n Hagerstown lawyer
who is serving term in the House
of Correction for assault and battery
upon a neighbor, has written the Gov

ayers of the House of Correction, which
the Governor attended yesterday, the
Governor sent at once for the attor-
ney after receiving his letter and had
him brought before the board. After

unit decided that the institution could
probably do without the lawyer, and
that his clients could not.

would advertise his case for final
hearing next Wednesday, and unless
some protests were filed he would prob
ably have him released. Garis made
suave bow and said: i thank you,

fined to his home seventy-two hours
before his death. The young man
worked up to last Saturday. lie was
employed at the machine shop at the
Naval Academy, although he was a
printer by trade. ON last Monday he
was out and was shaved at the barber
shop of William Shields, Maryland
avenue.
Nobody realized that he was i'll,
but Mr.. Ivey went home that night
never To come out again alive. He
was member of the Typographical
Union, the local branch, and had been
member of the Junior order of Uni
ted American Mechanics, but had re-

WILD FOWL FAST DISAPPEARING.
Thus Says a Report of The united States
Agricultural Department.

The report OF the United States Ag-
ricuItural Department, Washington,
ID. c., just issued, regarding the
threatened exticnation of wild fowl.
will be of great interest TO hunters all
over the country, for il discloses a
state Of facts which points TO the
total extinaton of wild duck, teal,
wild geese and all wild water fowl in
the near future.
The canvass back and the red-iead,
once very common along the Atlantic
Coast from Florida to Nova Scotia are
now exceedingly scarce and of the
great flocks that formerly covered
Chesapeake Bay, few now migrate
thither, but in the Carolinas a few
flocks winter on the coast. So rapidly
are wild fowl diminishing in Mime
sofa that il has been found necessary
TO pass a law prohibiting, not only
the export of ducks. but even their
sale within the state limit.
Department experts are of the opin-
ion that the enforcement of moderate
ly stringent protective.laws and the es-
tablishment of preserves in the states
where water fowl can be sure of safety
and shelter, will not only avert the
threatened extinction of certain spe-
cies but in the increase of all water
fowl to point somewhere near the re-
cent abundance. Wells w. Cook, of
the biological Survey of the Agricul-
trual Department asserts that the great
diminution in wild fowl has been
caused by the spring shooting and de-
struction in breeding grounds by farm
ers, but Mr.. Cook, in winding up his
report states that the Prairie Districts
of Central Canada, comprising large
portions of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta are the ducks" paradise.

DR.. GEORGE WELLS POSITION.
Leader Of County Democracy FaNorS Gov
ern0r Marfield.

In view of the fact that nr. George
Wells, the lsader of tho Anne Arundel
county democracy, has expressed
himself strongly as in favor OF the
denomination OF Governor Warneld,
the endorsement of the county de-
mocraey may have an important hear
ing upon the matter, should the antago-
nism oppressed by State senator Ar
thur L. German result i'm the failure
of the Governor 20 receive the support
of his own county Howard, in the
State convention.
The position of Or. Wells as the lead
er of the county democracy is stronger
than il has ever been. When the ticket
that represented his wing of the party
won in the campaign of the fall. OF
1905, against full Republican ticket
and ticket nominated by the anti
Wells element, DIR. Wells assumed "a
position of great strength, and tho
discomforture of his political enemies
was FASTENED by the dimculties into
which James T.. Bannon, the strongest
of his opponents, has fallen. The
opposition TO nr. Wells may now ho
said to be completely disintergrated.
The popularity of Governor War
field, however, does not depend entire
ly upon the friendship of Or Wells.
The Governor has made many friends
in Annapolis by the fact that he has
made il his home in reality, as we'll
as officially, his interest in Annapolis
in general, and for other reasons.
1t is pointed out that inasmuch as
precedent makes it condition that a
candidate for any nomination should
have the support of his home county,
that in the event of any complication,
there is no doubt that Anne Arundel,
which under the Constitution, is the
residence of the Governor of Mary
land, viii be strongly behind him.

PAYMASTER'S CLERK.
Two Years Imprisonment And Dismissed Prom
The Service.

iue SeFNiCe.
Announcement was made at the Navy
Department yesterday that Paymaster's
Clerk A. :. Porter, U. $. n. had been
sentenced TO two years Imprisonment
and dismissed from the service for
making away with funds and sup
plies to the extent of about SIS, 900.
Porter was tried at the Boston navy
yard and after a long struggle, last
ing twenty-one days, was sentenced
to five years Imprisonment. Porter
comes of very good family in Nor
folk, Va. The Secretary of the Navy
mitigated the sentence to two years
at hard labor. The dishonesty OF
Porter brought about the resignation
of Paymaster Dexter Tiffany, whose
clerk Porter was, and who made good
all losses and then quit the service.
The result also shows that a pay
masters clerk may be held and Grim
inally prosecuted, even though the
olsses in money are made good to the
government. Paymaster Tiffany was
not tried. He was doubtless more or
| less negligent, or he would haze dis
covered the peculations of Porter,

GUIDES TO HEALTH.

A bad complexion may be due to
some skin disease, to indigestion,
anaemia, or some internal complaint.
The raw food diet is very effective
where the complexion is caused by
iniudicions eating. One should begin
first with fruit and cereals, and slow
ly eliminate the greasy dishes from
ones menu.

teaspoonful white mustard seed
(whole) in half glass of water and
take three times day. This also
clears the complexion.
Skating Is an eXhilarating exer-
else, quickening the circulation and

of the lower limbs, but of the whole
body. 1t strengthens the ankles and

To Clean Chiffon.

Chiffon should be washed in soap
lather by carefully rolling and press
inc between the hands, then rinsed
in clean water and stiffened in gum
water, the same proportion as for
lace--namely one tablespoonful to a
quarter pint of water.
Roll in a cloth to absorb some OF
the moisture, but it must not be too
dry when it is ironed.
To iron chiffon, 1t must be placed
on the table wrong side up and
lroncd along the selvedge. as ironing
across would displace the fibers and
dnsUoy the appearance of the deli
cato fabric.
Chiffon ties with a natural crepon
criakle should not be ironed, but, in
stead, the ends should be pinned out
on table, the tie just stretched
enough to permit of the crinkles fall
Ing into their natural shape.

Cost of Living Greatly Increased.
Proved by lnvestig gation-FederaI Department
Of Labor Makes an Interesting Report.

The cost of living has goue up
more than one-third in the past ten
years according to the latest in
vestigations of the federal depart
ment of labor into facts covering
the seventeen-year-period ending
with 1906.
A previous inquiry of the de-
partment covering the same period
but dealing only with the whole
sale prices of commodities, has not
only been verified but so strength
ened as TO produce startling results
by consideration of retail prices
for the same commodities.
Phe investigation just completed
shows that wholesale prices con-
sidering eos commodities as whole
reached higher level in 1906 than
at any time during the seventeen
year period covered. The average
for the year 1906 was SO per cent.
higher than for 1905; 36.s per cent.
higher than lor 1897, the year of
the lowest prices during the seven
teenyear period, and 22.4 per cent.
higher than the average for the
ten years from 1890 to 1899.
The study of the bureau was ex-
tended to farm products, foods,
