Hutaff, a well known druggist here, had an experience with a Japanese servent that has shaken his faith in the little brown men.

The annual excursion to Jamestown took place today. The visitors noticed with indignation the very disfiguring whitewashed picket fence, which has been placed by the government around the bnso of their monument on the island. The Association for the Preserva tion of Virginia Antiuities gave to the government nn acre and a quar tor of land for their monument, which has been left in most unsightly con dition, with piles of rubbish and dirt overgrown with broomstraw and weeds. The fence erected about the monument almost completely con ceals the inscriptions at the base. Mrs. John Lightfont was appointed a special committee by the association to make immediate appeal to the gov ernment, and try to have the grounds improved by them. NO STRIPED BASS IS TO BE PLACED IN COLUMBIA WASHINGTON, May I' .No strip er bass will be placed in the Colum bia river on accomit of the protests 'of the salmon fishermen conveyed to the (bureau of fisheries by Senator Chamberlain. Commissioner Bowers ruled: "The bureau decided that it would be unwise to place the salmon industry in the Columbia river in jeopnrdy through transplanting now fish, whose influence cannot be fore told. Striped bass will not be intro duced in the Columbia river." BEAUTIFUL FISHES ARE TO BE SEEN Hawaiian Exhibit Will Show Wrold What Tropical Fishes Really Are. ' TRYING TIMES FOR THE , i COTTON MILLS IN SOUTH SEATTLE, Wash., May V, In the Hawaiian exhibit at the Alaska--Yu-kon-Pauific exposition will be seen the most remarkable collection of brilliantly colored sea fishes in ex istence. The territorial aquarium of Hawaii in the city of Honolulu has long been noted for the variety and numbors represented in the collec tion, but it is principally in respect to the variegated colors and gorge ous tints that the fishes of the "par adise of the Pacific" are chiefly fa mous. In remarking upon this pe peculiurity, Professor David Starr Jordan, one of the world's highest authorities on tho subject, said: "No aquarium can boast of a collection of fishes more unique in form and col oring, although some have a greater number." The Honolulu aquarium will be transported to the Seattle exposition and the display has been greatly in creased in extent and value. The work of the United States fish com mission in Hawaiian wnters has re sulted in a number of rare and won derful discoveries in sea life, and the exhibit as now completed and ready for transporation from Honolulu is the finest and most comprehensive collection of marine life ever assembled.

NEW YORK, May 1 Laurus Loomis of Catlin & Compnpny has completed a tour of tho southern cot ton states, and, in an interview gives an interesting view of the situation in raw cotton and finished products. He said: . - Higher value for the raw material that is, cotton and not a corre sponding advance on goods has cre ated a serious condition for the man ufacturers and a few mills here and there, scattered over the southland showed a profit to the stockhold ers for 1908. The large majority are struggling to come out at cost. Some mills, unfortunately, have been oblig ed to surrender and go to "the wall" and several are in tiio market today for sale, even at a considerable sac rifice as to cost. With improved trade conditions in the near future, however, there are brighter days ahead for tho cotton mill owners. Biliousness and Constipation. For years I was troubled with bil iousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My ap petite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality. Pepsin prepara tions and cathartics only made mat tors worse. I do not know -where I should have been today had I not tried Chamberlain's Stomach and Liv er Tablets. The tablets relieve the ill feeling at once, strengthen the di gestive functions, purify the stomaoh, liver and blood, helping the system to do its work naturally.. -Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala, These tab lets for . sale by Leon B.

Duke Only Prevented From Suicide by the Watchfulness of Mem- ber of Suite, - HOME, Muy 13. Court circles here are greatly agitated over highly sen sational reports which have reachod the government about tho Duke - of the Abrurzi. It is now related cir cumstantially and on excellent au thority that in one of the fits of in-' tense depression to which the Duke has become subject of late he attempt cd to kill himself with a revolver on tho way out to India, but his sui cidal intention was frustrated by the vigilance ot a member of his suite, whose suspicions had been aroused by his despondent demeanor and who had kept a vigilant watch on him. iLetters received from members of he expedition, especially those from the Italian and Swiss guides, rep resent that the duke is utterly reck less. Tho writers lexpross fear that the whole expedition mny perish if the duke persists in carrying out his present plans, which he formed in spite of the best native advice. These stories are arousing consid erable sympathy for the duke even in quarters whore his marriage pro ject was bitterly opposed. They have also excited a feeling against the queen mother and the Duke and Duchess of Aostn, who, it is known now, were tho reul obstacles to the success of the duke's love affair with Senator Elkins' daughter, Katherino.
