while ashore the 500 acres of the expo
sition grounds will give accommodation
to the multitude of displays contribut-
ed by the people of the earth.
Colonial i'm Architecture.
In style of architecture the exposi-
ton is colonial. Tho grounds are sur
rounded by a high wire fence COM
pletely covered with noneysuckle, Grim
son rambler rose and trumpet creeper
vines. A canoe trail, two miles long
ana - feet wide, runs from Boush
Creek, which flows into Hampton
Roads, and intersects the most inter
esting part of the grounds. There are
miles of pretty walks, rustic bridges
and dense forest, and the various State
buildings are so located along the three
miles of water front that from them
may be seen the ships and steamers go
ing out to sea and coming in from all
parts of the world. To the west of the
main exposition buildings is a large
square with two parallel avenues in
which are located the concession sites.
It's inspiration the most romantic
event Of the nations history, the James
town Exposition, located as it is in a
beautiful country bordering on the sea,
is situated in and surrounded by the
most historical section of the United
States. As a military, marine, naval
and athletic pageant it promises much.
Its industrial and mechanical features
will embrace the best of what has been
previously exhibited and include the
results of recent advancement. Its
amusement and recreation features are
to be such as are possible only to a site
on the nations finest and most beauti-
full harbor. In cold dollars its various
features, derivative, contributory and
accessory, count $300,000000.
While every known form of exhibit
will be displayed, the 100000 presen-
tation by the negroes being among the
most unique, much attention will be
given special features. The aquatic will
be to the fore. The gathering of the
navies of the world. in itself an expo
sition, will be supplemented by a repro
duction of the famous fight between
the Monitor and the Merrimac on the
exact site of the original engagement.
The vessels used will be similar to the
famous craft of the civil war.

Reading Railroad Company Places
the Limit for Applicants at As.
Men Of 40 and 40 years old need not
apply for admission to old peoples homes
if they are capable of working for the
Reading railroad and there are any va
cancies for them. This is the edict of
President George f. Baer, who has raised
the age limit for those applying for en-
ployment from So to As, thus dealing an
other blow to the Osler theory. Mr.. Baer
gave effect to the board of directors &C
ton. 1t is nearly five years since the idea
that the young man was the only thing
got abroad in the land. On the crest of
the wave of popularity, DR.. Osler came
out and scared the men of 60 with his
theory of chloroform as being best for
them. The big railroads jumped at the
new idea and hung out the no-old-men-
need-apply sign. They set the age limit
at 30 years on the theory that thus they
would secure men whose minds had not
yet become set and who were thus capable
of becoming imbued with the ideas which
governed the roads. This plan didn't
work, as there were not enough appli-
cants under 80 to fill the new places. Un-
der the pension system of both the Penn
sylvania and the Reading employees are
not retired until 20 years of age, so that
the man 40 years of age has thirty years
service ahead of him, while the man 40
years old has twenty-five years service.

further momentum. No corresponding
period in previous years was entered upon
win production, distribution and trans
portatlon more largely engaged, and it
is remarkable index of Industrial

Distributive trade has responded
promptly to the stimulus of seasonabse

DIGS UP POT OF GOLD.
MINNESOTA MAN FINDS MONEY
IN OLD CAVE.
Frugal Man, Who Did Not Trust
Banks, Deposited Funds Under
Nine Feet of Ground-ParaIytic
Aided fin Suicide by Daughter.

John Olsen, for over thirty years a
section foreman on the Burlington rail-
way at Minersville, the first station south
of Nebraska City, Neb., was very frugal
and saved his money. His wife kept
boarders and in this way they were both
able to lay aside considerable money.
They were afraid of banks and as soon
as they secured few dollars they ex-
changed it for gold and buried it. Some
time ago Mrs. Olsen died and about a
year ago he was stricken with paralysis
and his death occurred a few weeks ago.
His son, who had gone to Minnesota,
came and nursed him during his illness,
and after his death he left for the north.
Last week he returned and, going to the
old home began digging in an old cave
back of the house. When down about
nine feet his spade struck a pot filled
with bright shining yellow coins. Refus-
ing to say how much money there was,
he took the first train north to join his
sister.

CleveIand's Insurance Brief.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland, as head
of the association of life insurance presi-
dents, has taken the first step toward
combating legislation proposed in several
Western States requiring that each com
pany shall invest 20 per cent of the re-
serve on policies which originate in any
State in the securities or mortgages of
that State. 1t is in the nature of brief
to be used by insurance authorities in
different States. He says that there is a
normal demand for nearly all of the Sc
curities referred to in the pending bills,
and that the insurance companies will
have to take only what is left without
the guarantee of the State concerned He
appeals for reputation of any intent Of
one State to gain advantage at the ex-
pense of its neighbor.

VACCINE CURE FOUND
HOPE HELD OUT TO VICTIMS OF
TUBERCULOSIS
Scientists of Boston school Ready to
Announce Discovery After Much
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Meat Prod
ucts Almost Doubled Last Year.

The experiments with vaccine inocula-
ton as remedy and cure for tuberculo-
sis which have been made for some time
past by the professors of Tufts Medical
school and the pathological department of
the Massachusetts general hospital In
Boston, have reached such a stage as to
warrant the belief that hope can be held
out to victims of the great white plague.
The investigations have been conducted
with view to obtaining vaccine that
will so strengthen the disease-resisting
properties of the human blood that death
from tuberculosis in any form shall be
occasional instead of common. At the
Massachusetts general hospital the patho-
logical department has the experiments
in charge, under the direction of DR..
James Homer Wright. There have been
no megaphonic methods employed in their
work or in their experiments. What they
have achieved up to date has been so re-
markable and so far-reaching in effect,
and In the differences which may be drawn
from the results. that they have decided
to make a public announcement that
through vaccine incubation the cure of
tuberculosis is possible.

NEW REGIME FOR CANAL ZONE.
Roosevelt Plan of Organization Will
Go Into Eject April 16.

Roosevelt Plan of Organization Will
Go Into Eject April Is.
Changes in the local government on the
canal zone, which will abolish all the
municipal governments now in existence
and result in the harmon;zing of various
parts of the zone, are to become effective
April IS. President Roosevelt has signed
executive orders providing for wholesale
changes and Richard Rogers, general
counsel for the isthmian canal commits
sion, will go to the canal zone with Sec
rotary Taft and remain there for some
time to assist in recognizing the govern
ment. The five municipal governments in
the canal zone will be replaced by four
administrative districts which will be un-
der the direction of the canal commission
ers. These districts will be known as
Ancon, Emperador, Gorgona and Cristo-
bal The municipal governments were
found to be wholly unsatisfactory after
a complete test and all canal officers are
convinced that the new plan viii be far
more satisfactory. 1t will result in the
abolition of the bureau of municipalities
on the isthmus which costs about S1S,-
600 year, and will cut off about $4,000
in salaries in the municipal Office, making
saving of about $4,000. Many of the
efficient municipal officers will be retained
in various positions under the new form
of government. One of the new executive
orders will authorize legal marriages to
be made on the canal zone by any minis
ter of the gospel. Another order will
modify the penal code so as to remove de-
fects found in the original code. 1t is es-
minated that the saving will be 100000
a year.

Every school district and every church
in the United States will take an inter
est in the trial of the furniture manufac-
turing companies that have been indicted
by the federal grand jury sitting in Chi
cago, on the charge of having violated the
Sherman antitrust law. 1t is a matter
of common knowledge in educational cir
cles that prices OF school furniture have
been maintained by some device on a high
level and frequent efforts TO break the
combination have met with no success.
Nine companies, said TO produce over so
per cent of the school and church furni-
ture in the United States. have been
caught in the governments Sragnet. In
asmuch as every citizen directly or indi-
rectly contributes TO the support Of the
public schools, conspiracy to stifie COM
petition in school furniture affects more
people than any of the other combinations
which the government has prosecuted
Any violation of o. law is to be con-
demned, but when the act OF lawlessness
is aimed at education or religion, little
sympathy is lost on the offenders. Such
trust as the furniture manufacturers are
alleged to be maintaining traffics on the
brain and the soul, and seems at least
vastly more immoral in its activity than
other combinations which affect only a
small per cent of the people.

If the soul has weight" said an emil
nent physiological chemist of Chicago, lit
becomes an object of physics. Years ago
a group of German students settled this
point. If mouse was allowed to die
! in Theoretically (sealed by fusion, not
merely stopperedl sealed bottle, absolute
ly no loss of we4ht occurred even using
a scale easily showing ! milligram. But
if the mouse died in an open vessel, a
loss within one-half minute of death of 10
to 20 milligrams was noticeable. That
proved clearly that gas was given off,
no weightless substance. a human body
is too large to be put into sealed glass
bottle, and therefore repeats the mouse
experiment with an open vessel. This is
furthermore proved by the amount in the
Boston experiment, said to be from one
half to one ounce. This TALES with that
of the gases of the body. The average
body weighs $50 pounds or 2,400 ounces.
The loss therefore was about 10000. a
mouse weighs 10000 to 10000 milligrams.
The loss was 10000 or the same ratio for
the same phenomenon"

CUBA TO LOSE FREEDOM.
American Protectorate Sure to b.
Declared Soon.

american " DS
Declared Soon.
Cuba is practically doomed to lose
her independence. The: United States
will be compelled by circumstances to
declare a protectorate, probably within
a year, over the island. The Aneri-
can flag now, at least figurarvely
speaking, in the ascendancy there, will
never come down. The American mill
tary occupation undertaken simply as
a temporary move to prevent a revolu-
ton and secure order and stability, will
be made permanent. Sucn is tie tenor
of dispatches received here from Off
cial sources in the Pearl of the An
titles.
These remarkable predictions are
based on most intimate knowledge of
conditions gained by the chief Ameri-
can officers now in control in the island.
The following reasons are given for
their prophecy:
That the regime of the United States
in Cuba will continue for many months.
That at the municipal elections to be
held probably in June the property
holders will refuse to vote, and that the
ignorant and vicious elements of the
population will thus secure the offices.
That diplomatic representations will
then be made to the United States by
England, France, Germany and Spain,
which countries will look to America
for damages in case of destruction of
their property il the island. This sit
uation will compel the United States to
announce a protectorate over Cuba.
In Cuba the conservative property
holding class is in helpless minority.
Citizens of Great Britain have at least
$100000,000 invested in Cuba. German
citizens have about $40,000,000 invest
ed in sugar and tobacco, and French
men have about 100000 in the same
industries. Spain owns practically two
thirds of the landed interests of the
island. American citizens have invest
ments running TO S125,000,000. 1t is
regarded as certain, therefore, that the
foreign governments named, in behalf
of their citizens, will appeal to the
United States to prevent the threat
ened calamity, accompanying that APP
peal with the suggestion that they will
look to the United States to recoup
them for such losses as they may suf-
fer
The United States has already too
much at stake in Cuba to willingly as
sumo such liabilities, and the establish
ment of a strict protectorate by the
United States over the island is regard
ed by Cuban commercial and financial
interests as the only possible solution
of the difficulty.

NEW YORK.

Spring trade is at its height. and the
turnover bids fair to exceed even last
years, the stimuli being furnished by
more favorable weather, the approach Of
Easter and the visits of country mer-
chants to the larger centerS. Improve
ment is reflected all around, even in the
Northwest, which row appears to be get
ting back to normal conditions. In fact,
doubt as to the future is nowhere in evil
dence in the great producing sections of
the country. In some points in the West
sales of dry goods on spring account are
fully 10 per cent above those of last year,
while fall business thus far placed is also
in excess of that booked at this time in
1906. While the car situation in the
West has improved, conditions in the
East are worse. but nevertheless great
err movement of cereals to market may
now be expected.
