EXCURSIONS.

Many Neutrality-suspicious. are taking ad-
vantage of the Norfolk and Washington
steamers in going to New York and
points in New England. They go to
Norfolk by way of the Norfolk and
Washington steamers, and thence by way
of the Old Dominion or Merchants and
Miners liners to their destinations. These
make delightful water trips, and the spe-
cial rates obtaining on the various con-
Meeting lines make them economical as
well. The fares include meals and state
rooms at sea. The weekend trips to
Old Point and Norfolk are also especially
popular.
The evening outings on the jamestown
are still as popular as they were earlier
in the season. Leaving at o'clock each
evening, the boat goes forty miles down
the river and returns to the city by
II o'clock. Haley's Orchestra accom-

You can, If you will, prevent the
freckles from becoming so numerous,
by giving some protection to the face
