QUAINT COLONIAL TOWrt
Many Interesting Structures In
Esstvllle, Va., One ef lit
Oldest Settlements.
C0UTH0U8E BUILT IN 1051.
First Xdlflca Cost 7,000 Pounds ci
Tobaeeo Th Taylor House
aad the Masonic Hall.
There Is a certain qutot charm and
tinge ot beautiful romanco about tho
old scene and old things In Eastvllle,
Va one of the oldest settled portions
f the original colonies, the Detroit
Free Prosa says. The earliest settle
ment on the eastern shore ot Virginia
was made by Cant. Thomas Ancient
Bavago at the foot ot garage's Neck,
near -this place, on a grant from the
Indian king ot the Accomack, called
the "laughing king." ThU grant In
truded the present site ot Eastvlll.
In the old clerk's o&ce, erected In
1719, there are records going baek to
1(12, and unbroken to the present
ay, forming tho oldest coatlauoua rec
Kds In this country.
From these one Ands that the first
soarthoase was erected by Col. Wit
Ham Waters In lSt at a cost ot 7,000
Bounds of tobacco. The next one was
erected In 1683 by Joseph Godwin,
and In 1731 It was rebuilt In brick by
Capt John Marshall at a cost ot 50,000
pounds ot tobacco. The old building
has therefore n long and Interesting
history.
The other building, howerer, has
been allowed to stand, and Is sow a
renerable object ot antiquity In the
midst of change and deaay. In this
-jualnt and unpretentious structure
were heard tome ot the most note!
eases of colonial times. It was 10 by
10 feet, one story high, with a loft
tor the Jury.
, Oodwlns UTera existed for many
rears, out In 1739 the Taylor house
was built to supersede the other, and
It still Is doing service an the town
hotel. Another quatnt old structure
Is the old Masonic hall, built Just after
the revolution and used hy that or
der for about a hundred years. In
18S1 a body ot northern troops entered
It and was charged,
The old clerk's office was erected In
1719 and the debtor's prison some
rears later. It Is situated back from
the street and contains many later
eetlng articles, the old clerk's desk,
'the attorney's table and other furnl
iHre of the eld courthouse and the
:e-s filled with old court papers, go
ing back to the year 1700 and earlier.
These furnishings are ot solid walnut
and did serrtee fer some two hundred
years. The building Is ef brick, ot
ta quaint design, but well built and
w'eH preserved. At the doer Is the
measuring pest at which negro slaves
were stood and measured before being
auctioned. The debtors' prison adjoins
the criminal Jail and also Is queer
leaking. In It these who were unable
to pay their debts were confined until
tbey could make good with their credit
or. They were limited to certain
bounds, which were declared by the
Justice.

In British East Africa flash-light
photography Is full ot adventure. The
possibilities are unlimited and the
conditions most favorable. A. R. Dug
more, In an Interesting article in Col
Iter's, describes some of the adven
tures which befall the photographer In
xhe Jungle.
One cannot tell what animal will
aeme within reach of the camera. It
may be a lowly Jackal, a mighty, snort
ing rhinoceros, an exquisitely beauti
ful sebra. or a stealthy, sllent-foetsd
lion; but whatever It happens to be, It
to game for the photographic bag.
One morning, while we were taking
n nap after being up all night with
fiash-llght work, we were aroused by
the magic word. "Slmbar which Is
Bwahlll for lion. The porters, while
gathering wood, bad seen a lion about
n mile from camp, and oK we started
with nearly the whole outfit follow
ing. I carried my rifle, while the camera
hearer followed close behind with my
earner ready for use. It wm not long
before something was seen to move in
tho papyrus not more than eight or ten
yard In front ot me, and out rushed
a lion cub right Into the midst ot the
men. A more ferocious little beast I
have never seen.
We decided to use tt for a lure for
Um old lions, and with this Idea we
bound Its feet.
I was keeping a sharp outlook, and
soon had the satisfaction of seeing my
first wild Hon. Not one, but the pair,
attracted evidently by the cries ot the
young one, came within three hundred
yards. A finer sight I have seldom
seen than those two big tawny creat
ures. Fer a minute or so they watch
ad us, then turned and disappeared;
Incidentally, I may add, so did most
of tho, men, tall tree being considered
the favored retreat.
BftHerJpg that he lion would re
turn, we (elected a tree with large
borlsontal branches, from which I
hoped to be able to tt the camsra,
and there we proposed to stay. All
day we stayed In the tree, but noth
.tag further occurred, and we deolded
to aaand part of the night there. We
