Mr.. Tucker Tells Pittsburgers
Virginis's Attractions

tlISlnlG 3 AttI dClIVuo
Hon. II. St. George Tucker was
one OF the speakers at the Land
Show in Pitts burg. Pa, last Satur-
day. A newspaper report OF his ad-
dress says:
PAYING glowing tribute to his
State, Hon. Harry st. George Tuck
or, at the Land Show held here to-
day, delivered an address which
constituted one of the principal fea-
lures OF the occasion. The brilliant
Virginian spoke in happy vein
throughout, his remarks being coat
ed with Characteristic humor. He
dwelt at length on the resources
and advantages OF the old Common
wealth, and at the close he was
given what practically amounted to
an ovation. Mr.. Tucker said in
part:
The position OF Virginian in
Pittsburg today is some W hat chang
ed from what it was about 135 years
ago.-when, it may be surprising to
you to learn, the laws OF Virginia
we're enforced in Pittsburg because
1t was claimed as part OF the Old
Common wealth.
The sturdy resistance OF an old
justice OF the peace TO the claim oil
Virginia in asserting her right to
jurisdiction here caused his arrest
at the hands of a military company
which marched with drum and fife
from Winchester in the Valley 81
Virginia. to Pittsburg, to put down
the turbulent spirit that was defy
ing her laws. And the sturdy OLD
, Pennsylvanian was brought bach
TO Virginia and landed in the coun'
I ty Jail of Augusta county, located a
my old home in Staunton.

ginia to this territory been recog
/ nized 1 would not be here today in

ton to come down and settle in th'

IN AID OF STAGE CHILDREN

New York, Feb. 27-Under the pat
lonage of the National Alliance for the
Protection of Stage Children, of which
Daniel Frohman, Augustus Thomas,
Mis-. Fiske, Julia NARROW, Francis
Wilson and other persons prominently
connected with the stage are active
members, mammoth performance
was given in the Metropolitan Opera
House this afternoon to enlist public
attention in the interest of the chill
dren of the stage. The alliance has
been working for several years to
bring about the repeal or modification
of the laws restricting or preventing
the appearance of children on the
stage. The complaint is especially
strong against the existing laws in
Massachusetts, Kentucky, Illinois and
Louisiana. In these states the law alb
solutely bars children under sixteen
years of age from appearing in theat-
rical performances.

LARGER QUARTERS
For One OF M. VernOn'S Rapidly
Growing Concerns

The steady and substantial growth
of one of Mt. Vernon's leading stores
is indicated by the letting of contracts
FOR large additions to the Union block,
owned by DR.. f. c. Larimore, and oc-
cupied by the A. A. Dowds Dry Goods
Company.
When the Dowds store moved into
this building a year ago it was
thought no additional room would be
needed for quite a while. But after
being there three months they took
over the space occupied by Aliens
drug store and now 1t Is necessary for
them to have still large quarters.
The new plans call for an additional
story over the present ready-to-wear
department and two story addition
adjoining on the north. This will make
an extensive addition to the second
floor which will be used exclusively
for ready-to-wear garments.
The entire third floor is to be occu-
pied by a complete and up.to-date car
pet and drapery department. The
newest and best ideas in carpets, cur
tains and draperies will be represent
ed here.
A modern and rapid elevator ser
vice, connecting all four floors will bC
installed, making this one of the real
ly up-to'date stores in Knox county.
1t is planned to have the rooms
ready for occupancy in time for the
fall business.
In connection with these changes
the basement department is to be en-
larged to about double its present siz'
and big and complete line of house
furnishings, etc. put in.
