LETTER FROM OUR SAILOR
BOY


Editor Roundabout:
As 1 have nothing
to do, and 800 men to help
me do it, l thought I would drop
you few lines lust for fun
On the Sth day of Sept. 1906,
the cruiser Squadron, U. S. F. S.
West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Colorado and Maryland, got under
way at Newport, R. l., at two p.
w., headed for Gibraltar.
On our third,day out we hit
very strong blow that shock us up
some few. But it only lasted two
days.
On the 18th of Sept, we drop
ped anchor at Gibraltar. The
rock is about 400 feet high and
81 miles thick and 5 miles long.
There is town around the bottom
of the rock, with about 1000 sol.
diers on top. There is a gun
mounted for each year. We laid
there five days. During our stay
the H. M. S. Drake, flagship of
the English cruiser squadron, gave
us fine smoker. Everybody had
a very good time; lasted till HOO
p. III.
On the 28d. we got under way
from Gibraltar at Z a. M, head
ed for Naples, Italy. After a
run of about 8 days, we reached
Naples. and laid about II miles
from Mt. Vesuvius. She was
grumbling and smoking most all
the time we were there, but that
rs going on all of the time.
Naples has 100000 population.
1t has some fine stores and
churches. There are a good many
poor people there, SO it is not very
pleasant the first time that we
went ashore, but after that we
were wise" The streets are so
crowded that you have got to go
some" to get through the crowd.
The Chaplain got up a party to
60 to Rome. About so went, but
things were not coming my way,
and l could not 60. But they had
a very good time.
Staying in Naples about 4 days,
at 1880 a. m, September Both,
we left, headed for Athens, Greece.
On the first night out we passed
Mount Stromboly, the only vol
cano that erupts continually, and
as we passed her at night, it look
ed fine. I stayed up till - watch
ing for it.
After good run of few days,
We dropped anchor in Athens.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF NAVAJO COUNTY

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has decided that railroad
companies must furnish accom-
modations to negro passengers
purchasing first class tickets the
same as has been heretofore pro-
vided for the white race. This
will mean a large expense to
southern roads as they will be
compelled to provide better
equipment to take the place of
of the Jim Crow cars.

But teeth and shoulders cannot

EXCURSIONS.

Strangers in the city who desire to see the
many historic places which abound in that
region of the Old Dominion surrounding Old
Point Comfort and Norfolk will find it most
satisfactory to go via the steamers of the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Com
pany. These boats provide a means of
transportation at once comfortable, safe
and luxurious, the sailing hour, $50
pm, being very convenient for those who
desire to utilize the night for travel in order
to have the entire day at their DISPOSAL for
sightseeing and pleasure. The state rooms
are excellently appointed and in all other
respects these steamers compare favorably
with the finest vessels of the type.
Washington Sunset route excursions to
California offer every inducement to those
who wish to visit the Garden spot Of
America. Scenically, this is by far the
most attractive of all routes west, and the
trains used for the service carry both Pull
mans and tourist sleeping cars. The latter
provide highly comfortable means of trav-
ell at less cost than journeying via Pull
mans and one may secure through berths
In these cars very reasonably. Three ex-
cursions are run weekly from Washington.
Details may be had at the Office of A J.
Poston, general agent, 511 Pennsylvania
avenue.
Leaving New York avenue and 18th street
every fifteen minutes the Chevy Chase Lake
cars form a quick and convenient means of
reaching suburbs In the direction of Chevy
Chase from the very heart of town. They
made direct connections at Chevy Chase
Lake half-hourly with trOlleys for Kensing-
ton, College Park and surrounding points
Trains of the Metropolitan branch of the

AS TO CHEAPER GAS.
Action by Labor Unions Regarding
Cheaper Gas.

The action Of the Central Labor Union In
declining to indorse the Madden bill for
cheaper gas In the District apparently does
not meet with the favor of all the affiliated
labor unions in the central body. At a re-
cent meeting of Columbia Lodge Of Machin-
lists the decision was reached by unani-
nous vote to repudiate the action Of the
Central Labor Union and indorse the Mad
den cheaper-gas bill. as given In The Star
yesterday.
The latest action was taken last evening
at a meeting of Local No. 1853, Brotherhood
Of Painters and Decorators Of America, held
at its hall on E street. A resolution was
adopted indorsing the Madden bill and de-
nouncing the action taken by the Central
Labor Union against the proposition for
cheaper gas.
The secretary, Hugh D. Digney, was In
structed to notify Representative Madden,
the District of Columbia committees of the
House and Senate and the Central Labor
Union Of the action taken by the painters
local.
1t was said today that an effort will be
made at meeting of the Central body next
Monday evening to have the matter brought
up again for action and the Madden bill in
dorsed 1t appears that considerable friction
has been caused by the action of the c. L..
U. In local labor circles and lively meet
ing Is expected Monday when the delegates
of the affiliated unions meet.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The article In last Sundays Star, under

concerning Virginia published in 1909 Cwo
years after the colony was founded):

Permit nae to add that, Notwithstanding
the great and constantly growing rarity OF

to the origin and growth of the colony OF
Virginia in the seventeenth century. the

by assiduous care, no less than nineteen I'M
