The Washington herald., 1907-04-26

hundred persons Tor Norfolk last evening
for the opening Of The jamestown Expo
siuon, there is perceptible thinning cut

any kind were planned for the day and
evening.

felt. For the nonce the Capital took on
the social calm of the summer time, when
al the officials who can get away from
the heat do so.
