menorlal uay was observed here
Saturday, i'll connection with the an.
nual meeting of the Brown Harman
Camp of Confederate Veterans. A
very large crowd was in town, and
the occasion was memorable one.
The march to the cemetery by the
veterans and large concourse of
school children presented a striking
scene in contrast. The old veterans.
limping and grizzled-some on a
crutch, some w ith marks of wounds
upon them still, received in battle
all of them still loyal and true to the
cause in which they contended and in
which they lost-a reminder of the
days of war--the large crowd of
women and children, dressed in
white, bearing beautiful flowers-an
emblem of peace, presented a sug-
gestive picture. At the cemetery
there was simple, brief service,
then reverently and with deep emo
tion, the graves of the Confederate
dead were strewn with the token of
love and remembrance. Every one
present seemed to reserve the choic-
est and most beautiful flowers for the
grave of Mrs. Graham, the late Pres
ident of the Chapter here, who sleeps
her last sleep hard by the graves of
the old soldier dead. After the return
to town came the address by Colonel
johnson and the dinner to the Veter-
ans. served in the tent theatre-a
repast worthy of the occasion.
MR.. JOHNSONs' ADDRESS.
Colonel James d. johnson, of Roa:
noke, delivered fine memorial address
in the Courthouse. The building was
packed to its utmost capacity, many
people standing. The address was
worthy of the occasion, and give uni

sensible speaker. He is a member of
the Governors staff, President of
the Anti Saloon League, of Roanoke,
and prominently spoken of as the
next Mayor of that city.
Mr.. Johnson is related to the

through his mother, who was cousin
to the late Isaac Chapman. His moth
er was Miss Fowler. His father

The annual meeting of this camp

Roanoke College at Salem, Virginia,

book in the history classes of the
school. A $50 called history" which
in dealing with the South and its peo-
pie, presents for the use and educa-
tion of the youths, not only of our
own section, but of the country at
large, book which it's author and
the faculty of the college are pleased
to call and defend as the history of
our epoch and people, which is such
monstrous perversion of the facts,
such travesty of the truth of his
tory as to put to shame in it's mis-
chievous tendencies, the best efforts
of the vilest, most reckless 'wavers of
the bloody shirt" When we read DR..
Elson's history, however, we cease to
wonder at the extreme bitterness still
existing in many sections of the
North against the people who waged
the "slave holders rebellion, as he
falsely designates the late civil war;
people, who we doubt not, get theii
history from this indecent slanderer,
dangerous to the country's peace

mander, Capt. A. j. Tynes, who has
so long and faithfully given the best
efforts of his life to promote the in

zeal for the cause so dear to every

ALASKAN DRAMA TO
Be WEEKS OFFERING
AT THE COLUMBIA
"The Barrier" to Be Pre-
sented, With George w.
Barber in Leading Role.

The story of THE Barrier" which will
be produced at the Columbia Theater
tomorrow night, and for the remainder
of the week, by the Columbia Players,
is described as being big. buoyant,
bracing, strong, rugged, irresistiole-just
what story of Alaska, the land Of the
last frontier, should be. Washingtonians
are not unfamiliar with 1t either in the
form of the thrilling narrative which
originally appeared in book form from
the pen of that master of Western char
acter study. Rex Beach, or the more
thrilling dramatic version, arranged by
Eugene w. Presbrey.
THE Barrier" is the story Of a young
army officer suddenly transferred from
the South to the far North. The ven-
turous hero goes into the Yukon country
to preserve order. The picture of the
gold fields is the background, but IT is
the love of the soldier for the half
blood heroine that lends power to the
combination OF romance and adventure.
Interest centers in the man who is to
play the rough, but big-hearted, trader,
John Gale. For this, George w. Bar
bier has been cast. Mr.. Barber is a
finished and capable actor, who. both
physically and by reason Of artistic
finesse, is admirably suited to the part.
The delightful love scenes between the
army officer, Captain Burrell. U. s. A,
and Nicia, will keep A. H. Van Buren,
and Frances Nelson, in the respective
parts, in positions of prominence equal
ling Mr.. Barbiers. Everett Butter
field has been cast as No Creek Lee;
Emeline Melville as Gals squaw, AL
luna; John NJ. Kline as Runnion; Stan
c. - N@EF
as Corporal Thomas and Frederick For
roster as Poleon Doret. Then there are
two additional members of the cast that
must not be forgotten. One of them Is
little Helen Hayes, whose portrait has
graced the frame in front Of the theater
all season, though this will be her first
appearance this year with the company.
She is to be the Mollie, whose antics
with her Alaskan playmate, John, calls
into the cast John Hits to play the

Take Off the Fat
Where 1t Shows

, Most women suffer much humiliation
and inconvenience, especially during the
hot summer months, because of great
quantities Of fat, so located that, no
matter how they dress, everybody sees
that they are abnormal. This is the sea-
son and the day of the slender figure,
and fat women are simply not tolerated
either in business or social affairs.
Women may not know 1t, but men when
they see a fat woman pass them on the
street make all manner of sympathetic
remarks about her. They do not mean
to be unkind or to seem unmanly, but
It is natural for a man to dislike fat
there is where it must be removed, and
as quickly as possible. Hot weather
dresses seem to be made for the fat
woman's misery and the slender wom-
ans delight. They expose all the
charms of woman and her uglineSs as
fat. This has been proved. The ia
nous Marmola prescription which has
met with such phenomenal success and
has so many of our society women as
its sponsors, is now being sold in tablet
form to meet the demand of the public
for this style of treatment. These lit
tie tablets go into your system Just like
food. They stop the stomach and d.
gestive apparatus from producing fat
and reduce the fat upon the body at the
rate of from u to Is ounces q day They
are harmless in hot as well as cool
weather and can be carried in your
purse and taken even after you have
home. They are sold at all drug stores
at IS cents case. or if you prefer you

highly successful season, with the usual
Sunday concert by the United States
Soldiers Home Military Band, under
the directorship of John s. NJ. thinner
man. These sessions of instrumental
music have been received with popular
approval Glen Echo's success up to
the present time having demonstrated
the profitable field Washington offers
for a progressive and up-to-date out
door playground, the management of
Glen Echo is determined to keep this
popular resort in the front rank of local
summer amusement enterprises by the
frequent Introduction OF novelties, so
that the hundreds Of patrons who visit
the park regularly viii always flnd at

formance. This new attraction has been
admirably situated on the spacious
lawns adjacent to the dancing pavilion

ton center than Glen Echo is at the
present time, and its ready accessibility
through adequate car service is an i'm
portant factor in it's success.

Solder From Tin Can
POisOnS Teeth and Jaw

wILKESBARRE. Pa, July 9.-Drum
Heiser, of this city, has supplied the
dental experts of this section of the
State with peculiar case, the first of
the kind they have ever known. 1t is
a rotting of the left side of the under
jaw, due to lead poisoning, caused by
a small piece of solder from canned
vegetables lodging in the cavity left by
an extracted tooth. Heiser was eating
corn several weeks ago, when the
solder, he believes, dropped into the
cavity. where it remained unnoticed.
A short time ago all the lower teeth
on the left side of the jaw became
loose and dropped out. and then the
poisoning attacked the jawbone itself.
This week the unfortunate man was
examined by a number of specialists,
an operation was performed, which. it is
expected. will relieve him, and photo
graphs taken of the affected section.
and these will be used by lecturers on
dental diseases, number of whom
were present when the operation was
performed.

New Potato Bug Posters
Pennsylvania Farmers

WASHINGTON, Pa, July s.-Farm-
ers of this section are greatly alarmed
by the appearance of a new pest, the
gray potato bug, which is threatening
devastation to not only potatoes, but
other crops already endangered by the
long and excessive hot spell.
This bug, which differs from the old
time black potato bug, and is believed
to be the beetle of the potato-stock
weevil, travels in great droves, settling
down on a potato patch and running 1t
in remarkable short time. Paris green
solutions have been tried, and while
they seem to drive the bugs away tenn
porarilys they are, apparently, not fatal
to the pest.

Just why Mrs. Seamark did not have

REPL|CAS Of ROYAL
INSIGNIA TO Be SEEN
At PALA|S ROYAL
Famous Higbee Collection
of Crowns Will Be on Ex-
hibition Tomorrow.

The crowns worn by the rulers of the
great nations of the world, exactly re-
produced as to cutting of jewels, set
tings, and colorings, will be on view
in Washington tomorrow. The man.
agement of the Palais Royal, Eleventh
and G streets northwest, has obtained
the famous Frank D. Higbee colIec-
ton that was prepared for the st. Louis
Exposition.
Mr.. Higbee conceived the idea of
gathering the collection of reproduc-
tons of royal crowns as a means of ed
uca ton for the general public His first
thought was that he could readily get
the necessary data for the making of
the diadems from books in any of the
large libraries of the United States
But he found that not even In Eng
land or France could books be found
that could serve as a guide to the Jew
elers Of Paris in making working mod
els.
Three Years of Work.
From royal court to royal court of Eu-
rope Mr.. Higbee went, securing per-
mission to view and copy the crowns
Of the nations. After three years of
effort the collection was complete, as
it will be shown at the Palais Royal,
beginning with tomorrow.
The recent crowning of King George
in England has aroused interest in the
subject of crowns, so that the coming
of the Higbee collection now is espe-
cially timely.
The collection includes an exact re-
production Of the crown that was
nlape1 tho hnad nf EinD in,
Westminster Abbey. The orb, too. sym
Dol of his political power. is shown
among the Higbee reproductions
The crown of the German empire, call
ed one of the most beautiful and costly
in the world, will form one of the chief
features Of the exhibition.
Pope's Tiara to Be Seen.
The tiara and scepter Of the Pope claim
a large share of interest. The Iron
Crown of Lombardy. of rare old work
manship. and first used in 591 A. D.,
with the crowns of Sweden and Norway
and of Denmark all find places in the
collection. 1t has been said of the
Higbee exhibit that the wearers of the
originals could not distinguish between
them and the copies at a short distance.
And the crown" that Theodore
Roosevelt wore, a plain silk hat. when
he ascended to the offfee Of highest
honor within the gift of any people, is
shown in contrast to the ''pomp and
Of kings"
The eighteen reproductions of the
crowns will be exhibited in the show
window of the Palais Royal, beginning
with tomorrow. The exhibit comes her !
