EAGLES MEETING
COMES TO AN END
Homeward Flight From
jamestown Convention
Begun Yesterday.
Theodore Bell Elected Grand
Worthy President of
Order.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept THE ninth
annual convention OF the Grand Aerie
Of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles ad-
journed today. The Eagles declare it
10 have been the largest and most in
teresting convention held since the or
ganiZation OF the fraternity. 1t was by
far the largest convention ever held in
this city.
Meeting Successful.
While here the birds made things live
y. both IN the city and at the exposi-
ton. The monster. parade Of Thursday
was the finest Of its kind ever seen here.
The many bands in the line OF parade
made Norfolk fun of music and well re-
paid her for the hospitality shown the
visiting Eagles.
The Eagles from the Capital City
spread their wings and are flying home
tonight. Delegates from many of the
cities throughout the country are leav-
ing for their homes.
Close on Sundays.
There have been several changes in
the bylaws OF the order; most i'm
portant among these is an amendment
which forbids any Aerie or Eagles
Home opening on Sundays. Not even
religious services can be held in them;
the home and churches being the place
10 spend the Sabbath is the sentiment
Of the convention.
The delegates placed on committees
during the convention have been eX-
ceedingly busy, little time being had
for sightseeing or visiting the expo
sition. Short trips to the different
places Of Interest have been made. and
on a whole the delegates declare their
visit TO Norfolk most enjoyable one.
Seattle. Wash. was selected for the
next convention. A vote on the next

ped Mt the second floor and waited and
waited for the man who had ordered
next to get off. He flew into rage
4 don't want this floor he said. I
said the sixth floor. Didn't the other
fellow say Fifth" and didn't l say
Next" and isn't sixth next after fifth?
IIuh?'
The following day one passenger
called ont, Third floor and the other
said Next ut the same time | thought
l knew my business that time. hus-
tied the third floor man right up to his
landing and took the chap who wanted
next on to the fourth floor. He was
angry also. What did you bring me
up here for when 1 wasn't looking:' he
Numbered. Didn't you hear Inc say
next" Yes said 1, but the other man
said third 4 don't give rap. said
he. what the other man said. We
were then Oh the first floor, and when
l said next didn't that mean second?
I'll report you for inattention. that's
what I'll do
''And that Is what he did do" sighed
the operator. Clearly the word next

The "Golden Medical Discovery"
not only builds up the strength OF
the feeble, debilitated, languid,
nervous and easily fatigued, wheth-
er young or aged, but it enriches
and puri6es the blood, thus making
the improvement lasting.
It corrects and overcomes indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, tor
pid liver, chronic diarrhea and
kindred arrangements of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
Bronchial, throat and laryngeal
affections, attended with hoarseness,
persistent cough, and all manner OF
catarrhal affections are cured by the
"Golden Medical Discovery"
In Chronic Nasal Catarrh, it is
well to cleanse the nasal passages
out freely with DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy fluid while taking the
"Colden Medical Discovery" as a
constitutional treatment. Old OBJ
stinate cases of catarrl yield to this
thorough course of treatment.
Through enriching and purifying
the blood, the "Discovery" cures
scrofulous affections, also blotches,
pimples, eruptions. and other ugly
affections of the skin. Old, open,
running sores, or ulcers, are healed

'Many a love tragedy is caused by
