Racing Men Clip Corners on rweE Dollar Notes Before esttIne.

Large numbers of clipped two-dol. lar bills have reached the treasury department at Washington for re- demption in the last three years. These bills are all cornerless. That is, all four corners have either been torn on or neatly cut ofi with scissors or knife. The onhcials who interest themselves in tracing such things quickly ascertained that supersti. tion of racing people lay back of the cornerless two-dollar bills. It was found that some years ago the pikers in the racing game developed an an- tipathy to the two-dollar Lotes. con- sidering them unlucky. Their method of exercising the devil of ill-luck clinging to the two-dollsr bill was to tear or cut on the corners before putting 1t into play. The idea spread. It infected the bookmakers and some bookmakers who received large nums bers of two-dollar bills in the course of . days operations fell into the habit of clipping with scissors the corners of such notes as they couldn't unload upon their associates. Now 1t Is reported that distrust of the two- dollar note is becoming general and that the cornerless notes are appear. ing in many different places.

 The opening was attended by much pomp and ceremony. At sunrise this morning the Norfolk Light Infantry Blues, stationed at the exposition grounds, fired a salute of 300 guns.

 Bishop Alfred Magill Randolph. bish- op of the Episcopal diocese of southern Virginia. made the opening prayer, after which Harry St. George Tucker. president of the exposition company. made an address and introduced Pres ident Roosevelt.
 The spectacular feature of the open ing day was the naval pageant in Hampton Roads. President Roosevelt. on the yacht Mayfiower. reviewed the ships of many nations now at their an- chorage. and the spectacle was witness ed by thousands from the shores.

and paying fitting tribute to the dis tingtfshed visitors. 5AA- .7A- 9-2
 No exposition ever before has pre- sented such permanent appearance, and this in great measure is responsi- ble for the delay. Regardless of the permanency of the work. however, the exterior of most of the buildings was ready when the exposition was opened today.
 Celebration is the natural sequence of achievement. The inception of the Jamestown tercentennial exposition sprang. from desire of a people, many of them descendant from that hardy English stock that settled among the Indians here 300 years ago. to teach to its brothers and sisters and display to visitors from the older nations the tra- ditions that have been handed down by those courageous colonists. It was in tended that the exposition should be historical but it has grown beyond the dreams of its originators.s 1t is almost all that is implied in the expression, "a worlds fair"
 The state buildings have been group ed along the historic shore of Hampton Roads, and they command an excellent view of the navies of the world. It Is this great naval display that proved the .crowning glory of the exposition. Nothing like it has ever before been at tempted. There have been gatherings of fleets before. but not on such tre- mendous scale as that accomplished here.
 The exposition is advertised as show ing to the world the progress in every line of development that this country has made in the three centuries since Captain John Smith came ashore on April %. 1907. but it is not ready to do so yet. There is but one thing to be said to persons planning to visit the Jamestown exposition. and that is, Wait

 JAMESTOWN. Va. April 26.-Presi- dent Roosevelt opened the great James town tercentennial exposition here to- day.
 The president made an address, and Immediately after he pressed the gold button which set the machinery of the exposition in motion. Simultaneously the foreign and American warships in the harbor and the adjacent garrison at Fortress Monroe gave a salute to the nation.
 At the same moment a thousand American flags throughout the vast grounds were unfurled to the breeze.
 Then came one of the most inspiring scenes of all. As the echoes of the sa- lute died away all the bands on the ex- position grounds played in union the 'Star Spangled Banner" As the first notes burst forth all the troops on pa- rade presented arms. and all present rose and remained standing throughout the singing as a salute to the national anthem.
 With the president were Mrs. Roose- welt and members of his cabinet. Many foreign delegations. with their prodE gal display of gold lace and bright dec orations. were present. these being in glittering contrast to the staid, somber attire of President Roosevelt and oth- CT dignitaries of this government.

1000 MILES FOR $40.
interchangeable Mileage Tickets VIII
Be Sold for Two Cents.


Western railroads have agreed to
continue the sale of interchangeable
mileage tickets, as requested by the
mercantile and other interests of the
west. Heretofore the interchange
able tickets have been sold at the
rate of $50 for 1000 miles, but a re-
bate Of $3.50 was paid to the orig
inal purchaser IL the ticket was used
exclusively by him, according to the
rules, says Chicago dispatch.
Attorneys of the western lines
were unanimously of the opinion
that 1t would be illegal to sell aan in
Interchangeable ticket at higher rate
than cents mile in any state
where that is the maximum fare al
lowed by law. Accordingly the pas
senger officials decided that it would
he necessary to reduce the rate of a
1000 mile ticket to $40.
The abolition of the refund feat
ure makes it unnecessary to main
tain the mileage bureau of the West
ern Passenger Association, which
now has about rs employees.
The Central Passenger association
has decided to continue the sale of
interchangeable mileage tickets at a
rate of s25 for 1000 miles and pay
refund to the purchaser If the ticket
is used exclusively by him for inter-
state trips.
