Young Men Paddle Down
River from Richmond.
ONE EXCITING EXPERIENCE
Caught BY squali of Mouth OF the
Chickahominy In Tiny Craft, John
vann and Corbn Crawford Have
Narrow Escape.

Having padded one hundred and
twenty miles i'm eighteen-fOot canoe,
] Corbin Crafford, a clerk in the
First National Bank, and John Vann,
a clerk in the Jefferson bank, ar
lived here at $50 o'clock yesterday
evening after an eventful trip down
the James river from Richmond.
With a favorable tide running, the
young men left Richmond at IL
o'clock last Wednesday morning and
Iaddled SO miles that day, reaching
City Point in the evening. They spent
the night ashore and were OFF again
at daybreak Thursday morning. They
raddled along with fair weather until
that evening when terrific storm
struck them just OFF the mouth OF the
Chickahominy river. The high wind
licked I'D heavy seas and the young
men declare that for half an hour
they thought they would meet a
watery grave.
Washed Ashore in Storm.
Because of the cross current made
by the meeting of the two rivers and
the heavy sea they could not make
the shore. Darkness set in and they
we're swept down the river. Finally
they saw what they thought was
the monument at jamestown Island
end they headed for it. When they
got into shallow water big sea
picked their canoe up and threw II
ashore. the boat landing safely on
the beach. An investigation showed
that what they thought was the
monument was white flag put up
by the government surveyors.
The young men say that the place
where their boat was thrown ashore
ty the waves was the only inlet
which they could have landed as the
entire beach for a consid rable dis
lance was studded with jagged rocks.
Had their boat been dashed against
the rocks it would have been wreck
See Big Fire In County.
Thursday night was spent at this
point and Friday the young men
made 1t to Mulberry Point, where
they spent Friday night. While there
they saw a house about three miles
distant burn to the ground. The fire
occurred about 10 o'clock, but they
were unaDlc 10 dSCeIldiiI any VI NAS
particulars.
Leaving Mulberry Island yesterday
morning at daybreak, they padded to
Lands End, where they spent sew
eral hours with friends. They left
Lands End at o'clock yesterday al
ternoon and padded to this port in
two and one-half hours, being just
three days and seven and Dne-half
hours out from Richmond.
During the run down the river. the
young men stopped at several places
of historic interest, including Bran
don and jamestown Island. They took
a number of Kodak pictures at each
of these places. At Groves wharf
they met Mr.. CraffOrd's sisters by
accident. the young ladies arriving
there about ten minutes after the
young men arrived in their canoe.
Messrs. Crafford and Vann took
their little boat TO Richmond on the
Old Dominion steamer Tuesday night.

A Common Cold.

We claim that II catching cold
could be avoided some Of the most
dangerous aud fatal diseases would
never be heard OF. A cold often
forms culture bed for germs Of in
fectious diseases. Consumption.
pneumonia. diphtheria and scarlet
fever. four of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases. are OF this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development Of the germs
OF these diseases. that would not
otherwise find Judgment. There is
little danger, however, OF any Of
these diseases being contracted
when a good expectoTant cough
like Chsmberlain's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t cleans out these
culture beds that favor the develop
ment of the germs Of these diseases.
That is why this remedy has
proved so universally successful in
preventing pneumonia. 1t not only
cures your cold quickly. but mini
nizes the risk OF contracting these
dangerous diseases. For sale by all

Law and the Queen.

The qunintness Of many provisions
OF British law Is curiously illustrated
in the status Of the queen Of England.
SO fnr as her mnjesty's private busi.
ness Is concerned. she Is not regarded
by the laws and customs of England
as married woman Mt all. She IL the
only woman In Great Britain who does
not come within the scope OF the mar.
ried woman's property act. The idea
in all this IL that affairs OF state con.
sumo all the time Of the king. and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. II the queen contracted debts In
her husbands name he would not be
responsible for them. Ms any other
husband In the United Kingdom would.
The king cannot be sued for debt. but
the queen can be. Should the king die.
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again. In case she
wished to. without the license Of the
