NAVAL DISPLAY
At EXPOSITION

Norfolk, May 9.-While not on SO
tremendous a scale as in the OPEN
ing weeks the naval display at
jamestown will nevertheless be
maintained In an adequate manner
throughout the entire period OF the
Exposition.
The United states government has
assigned three ships TO duty right
on the great pier during the seven
months and these will be constantly
open to the inspection of visi-
tors. Considering that the most
popular exhibit at the Worlds Fair
at Chicago was an imitation battle
ship built on piles i'm the lake. the
reality OF the jamestown squadron
will be OF the greatest interest to
strangers from the interior. But this
is by no means the limit OF naval
representation; the Harbor of Hamp-
ton Roads, being a naval rendezvous.
Is seldom without several war yes
sells lying at anchor and the ships OF
the United States navy are constant
ly arriving and leaving the harbor.
The Navy Yard at Portsmouth and
the great ship-building plant at New
port News, are generally crowded
with war craft under construction
and undergoing repairs. so that no
visitors need leave the section with
out having his curiosity fully salts
fed concerning naval matters.
Some OF the foreign fleets will not
arrive until later I'm the summer.
and an effort will be made to have
this government extend n further in
vitation to the different naval pow
ers to make Hampton Roads n stop.
ping place for their individual cruis.
ing vessels during the period OF the
Exposition. This is a frequent oc.
currence in ordinary times and with
proper representations to the dif
ferent governments could be made n
feature.
This Will correct the impression that
the disposal lof the present fleet
signifies the ending OF the naval dis
play. AT no time during the entir,
period OF the jamestown Exposition
Will there be less than twenty-flv,
war ships on the nearby waters for
the instruction and entertainment al
visitors

All the facts in connection with
the marriage were kept secret at
the request of Miss Terry. who fear
ed that she would be accused OF us
ing her marriage for advertising pur-
poses. At her request IL was agreed
to say nothing about il until after
she had departed from the country.
When Carew came to Pittsburg
he hunted up James X. Bell. an at
torney, TO whom he had letter from
a Chicago attorney Attorney Bell
saw TO IT that the party reached the
marriage license Office at time
when there were no applicants. Mr.
Caew got though with his part OF
the question i'm short order He
said he was an actor. thirty-six years
old, born in Goshen. Ind. and that
he had never been married before
Then the clerk turned to Miss Terry
and asked:
Were You ever married before?"
Yes, sir"
How many times?"
Good gracious, do / have to an
swer all that?"
B That is the law I'm this state. -
answered the clerk.
We'll, | have been married twice

marriage was very unhappy and a
sreat mistake"
Just one question" said the
clerk. How old are you?'
The actress turned smllingly to
Carew. "Do I really have to tell
that, too?
Il guess you had better, dear"
he replied
Then she whispered: 81 am nftv-
nine, but for goodness sake don't
Z tell anyone"
She laughed merrily as the IL
cense was handed to her. The par
ty was then taken in charge by JUS
tice Campbell, who conducted them
To an ante room. where he performed
the ceremony.
