What @ MISUNDERSTANDING party -
said a girl from Iowa. as twenty members
OF the Gridiron and as many women of
thei- families entered the Inside Inn this
morning under the chaperonage of DR..
David T Day and S, w. Bolles and were
met by President Tucker. OF the exposi-
ton company. and Barton Myers. and
aren't those cute little gold currycombs
they're all wearing? I suppose they must
have something to do with horses.
This young woman was the only one in
these parts who does not know all about
the Gridiron Club, however. and every
body from the exposition officials down
TO the swarthy individuals who acted as
managing editors Of the camels. on which
Arthur W. Dunn. John Shriver, and a
few others took a ride, had warm vel
come fo- the visitors from Washington.
They arrived at Old Point Comfort on
schedule time and after breakfast at the
Chamberlin. boarded a craft bearing the
somewhat significant name OF Ossiaing.
and came 10 the exposition grounds.
Tour Grounds in Autos.
After a short rest at the Inside Inn au-
tomobiles were boarded and the visitors
were given a comprehensive view of the
grounds and an all too hasty glimpse Of
some of the most important exhibits. in
Guiding the splendid one of the United
States government. Luncheon was served
at the Swiss Village. and one Of its fea-
lures was d concert by the Mexican
Band, which, as Commissioner West said,
was alone worth a trip from Washing
ton. Toasts We're drunk to President
Roosevelt and President Diaz.
In the afternoon the Gridironers visited
several of the War Path shows. and
reached the Inside Inn shortly after 6
o'clock, tired. but unanimous in the cpin-
ion that the War Path has all other sim
liar institutions at expositions OF the
past scalped. Tonight the party was en-
tertained at dinner at the Inn.
The weather had been threatening for
some time. and when Maj. Stofer COM
menced 10 sing his famous watermelon
song, a furious storm broke making
necessary the removal OF the tables from
the open galleries on which they were
originally placed.
Raise voices in song.
During the course Of the dinner the
famous Gridirol Quartet. augmented
by ali the members present. sang several
parodies of well-kn0wn songs. in which
the exposition and its officials were made
10 figure prominently. The principal one
was entitled jamestown" and. sung 20
the tune of Starlight. Starbright" was
as fUiOWs.

Alexandria, Va. Aug. 3.-The fnal dis
position Of the case Of John Wright.
colored. who has been twice sentenced
to death. in Alexandria County, but WAS
granted reprieve several weeks ago
by Gov Swanson, is awaited with much
interest by the people of the county
From statements made by several leading
citizens il appears that the reason for
the delay in deciding the fate of the
negro is not generally understood.
After a trial lasting two days. Wright
was sentenced TO be hanged December
"A last, but the State Court Of Appeals
granted a stay Of execution until early
in the spring, when the application for
new trial was denied. Later Judge
Barley, in the Alexandria County Cir
cult Court. resentenced the prisoner TO
death, fixing April 30 as the date for the
hanging Attorney James +, Clements,
representing the prisoner. then presented
the case TO Gov. Swanson for executive
clemency, and the governor granted a
reprieye for three months in which to con
slider the merits of the appeal.
one feature Of the delay which Is being
adversely commented upon by county elt-
izens is that the maintenance o. the pris-
Oner under the present status Of the case
is costing about SlC0 extra each .honth. In
all. il is pointed out, the case has entailed
an expenditure of about Sl,0J0.
Wnnt No Needless Delay.
Those who discuss the matter in this
connection declare that they wish 70 see
Al 4
vantage under the law. but they assert
that they are opposed 10 any unusual
delay after the case has been passed upon
by the Supreme Court.
John B. Henderson. jr. who was fore
man of the jury which found Wright
guilty. is quoted in local county paper
to-day as making the following comment
on the delay in the case in "A letter writ
ten from Maine:
1t seems to me that he ought 10 Tee
either executed or pardoned. or anything
but kept on indefinitely under county eX-
pense at the jail. His keep already would
now have amounted 10 enough 10 repair a
mile or two OF our roads
Nothing, I take II. Of human concep-
tion IS altogether perfect, but our sys-
TEN of justice Is the best yet devised but
for one thing-delay delay II the gov
ernor intends to change his sentence. let
him do so at once. or let the law take
