A Beautiful Exposition.

Far too little has been said about the
real merits of the exposition that cele-
brates the three hundredth anniversary
of the settlement of the United States.
The jamestown Teri Centennial EXPOSE
ton was unfortunate in allowing itself tn
be seen long before 1t was ready for in
spection. 1t is not colossal, but it is
beautiful and it is instructive. Visitors
going there in the mood of willingness TO
discover the attractions of the exposition
will not be disappointed. The eight or
ten weeks that remain OF the fair ought to
bring hundreds of thousands of visitors
froma II parts of the country. The region
itselfis full of historic and present-day
interest. Norfolk, Newport News,
Hampton, and Fortress Monroe are at
hand, and water excursions may be made
to jamestown Island and in every direc-
tion. The architecture of the exposition
is to the trained observer more charming
than that of almost any other in long
series of expositions. lfthe exhibits are
not of bewildering extent and variety.
they are at least thoroughly illustrative
OF recent progress. Some of the special
exhibits, like that contained in che negro
building, for instance, are worthy of great
praise. The United States Government
has expended much money and ingenuity
in its various efforts to represent in this
fair what the Government departments
are doing, and the management of the en-
terprise has achieved wonders in the
overcoming of difficulties that have
arisen. The weather on Hampton Roads
during the remaining months of the ex-
position ought to be very agreeable for
visitors.

Old Soldiers Defend Sheath,

"Any man who says that John 0.
Sheath is not friend of the old soldier is
liar" Gen. ST. Clair Mulhollaud, local
pension agent at Philadelphia, last night
made this public announcement in de-
nouncing the men who are blaming
Sheath with the failure of tie soldiers
pension bill in the last legislature.
The general told of the introduction of
the bill by Democrat who fixed the
amount so low that it was apparent the
legislator did not intend the measure to
become a law. When the legislation
reached the house, Mr. Sheath, who was
chairman ofthe appropriations committee
had meeting with Mulholland and other
prominent Grand Army men. "We told
him." said the general, show much
money would be needed aud he inserted
the sum in the bill and pushed the meas
ure through the house. Gov. Stuart
had to veto the bin because of lack OF
funds. l have circular letter signed by
the Rev. James Patton, in which it is
stated that Sheath raised the amount for
the purpose of defeating the bill. Any
man who makes that statement is falsi-
fer. I can furnish the name of every old
soldier in the state who is entitled to a
pension and can prove the correct amount
was named in the bill. If Mr.. Sheatz
was guilty of wrong in raising the fig
ures, ! am guilty and the officers of the
Grand Army are guilty, for we told him
the amount"

81 am glad" says Mr. Smith, that
the Republican party is now united in
Pennsylvania in support OF an excep-
tionally strong candidate for the once
OF state treasurer.
"The party is harmonious, and am
asking all who have stood with me in
the past, for the principles which 1
have championed. to give loyal and
earnest support to the Republican
nominee for state treasurer, Mr.. John
o. Sheath.
'Mr. Sheath has splendid record as
a member of the general assembly.

GOVERNOR STUART is proving HIM
self worthy of the confidence reposed in
him by the people when they elected him
10 the highest office in the State of Penn
sylvsnia, He promised to give clean
business administration, and he has thus
far made good on that promise. Conf
dence in his sincerity is increased by his
utterance at the con gention of Republican
Clubs In support of clean politics, and
contempt for that class OF politicians who,
by dishonesty and indecency, have cast
odium upon the party, and the declara-
ton that they should be driven out of the
organization. That is the attitude needed
at the present time, and is an assurance
that there will be no shirking when it
comes to melting out punishment to any
who may be found guilty of wrong doing.

The two-cent fare law in Pennsyl-
vania went into effect yesterday, October
1st. All railroads in the State are now
charging two cents a mile for passenger
travel. The rates for interstate business
will remain the same as now. No round
trip tickets will be sold, the rate being
two cents for each and every mile trav-
eled. Mileage books will be sold on the
same basis as formerly. This action is
taken by all railroad companies pending
the test in the courts of the validity of the
new rate law, passed by the last legsla-
ture. The new schedules have been post
ed and agents are busy familiarizing
themselves with the changed rates
Whether the old rates will be again adopt
ed should the court of last resort decide
the law unconstitutional is a question,
but it is doubtful. 1t is altogether likely
2-cent fares have come to stay. At least
on the larger lines of railroads.

Says There. No Ground For Divorce.

New York, Oct. 1.-Mae Catherine
Wood has brought action in the su.
preme court for absolute divorce from
United States Senator T. C. Plat, al.
leging that she had been married to
him in the Fifth Avenue hotel, New
York, in 1901. John B. Stanchfeld,
who appeared for Senator Platt, ask
ed that the matter be heard in pri-
vate by referee. He said Senator
Platt was never married to Miss Wood
and therefore there was no ground for
divorce. Justice Seabury reserved
decision.

SINCE the pure food law went into effect
a certain kind of raspberry jam has borne
this inscription: "This jam is made of
glucose, with artificial seeds, and is col
ored with harmless sniline dyes" Hay
seed appears to be too valuable for some
preserves, and artificial seeds, made by
machinery, are substituted. People who
object to jam in which there is no fruit
ought to read the labels.
