Va., July 10. At the meeting of the state commissioners' association of ths Jamestown exposition held at the Missouri building July 5, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and asked to be published by the newspapers of the country: "Whereas, we believe that the repre sentations in some of the papers of the country in relation to the Jamestown exposition and to the accommodations and cost of living in this vicinity are unist to the exposition and consequently grossly misleading to the people of this country; and it is due to the citizens of our respective states that they should have from us authori tative information about this exposi tion as will enable them to form a just opinion of Its value and character, and to mature their plans to visit it, with such knowledge of conditions as we, their representatives, can from our in vestigation and experience give them; therefore "Resolved, that we hereby testify to the magnitude and varied attractions of this exposition, ranking as it does with the leading expositions of the country, appropriately celebrating the Ter-centennial of our nation's birth, and wo commend it to our fellow citizens as worthy of their confidence and patronage. "Despite bad weather, labor troubles and freight congestion, a great exposi tion has been produced, unique in its historical and educational features and rich in architectural beauty, set in the midst of historic surroundings, its at mosphere teeming -with associations connected with every period of our country's history. "The great exhibit buildings are fill ed with industrial exhibits of most interesting character. The United States government has assembled in Its buildings exhibits unsurpassed at any previous exposition, while in many re spects they surpass any heretofore made. Tho buildings erected by the various states are unquestionably the best ever built at any exposition. "ihe amusement section compares favorably with that of any previous exposition. Its shows being clean, many of them of high order and most inter esting. "Assembled In the historic waters of Hampton Roads, which wash the shores of the exposition grounds, may be seen the great specimens of naval archi tecture of this and other countries. The sightseer has opportunity to visit the colonial, national and state capi tals Williamsburg, Washington and Richmond in the neighborhood of which are the battlefields of all our wars from Yorktown to Appomatox, and to visit points of interest made sacred by events of three hundred years. "The adjacent cities offer ample ho tel and boarding house accommodations at reasonable rates, rooms be ing obtainable from 50 cents upward and the cost of living, restaurant prices, etc., are moderate, giving the prudent visitors opportunity to live as economically as their taste and circum stances may make expedient. "Therefore in commending this ex position to the people of our respective states we strongly advise them that they should not fail to visit it, and to come prepared to remain long enough to study its vast and varied in terests and attractions.

Smoking Coatest 'Smoking conesta are as old as the

hills, said an antiquary. Go to Brittany, take In a Breton pardon, and you'll see a smoking contest sandwich ed in between the dancing matches and the wrestling bouts." The old man took out his notebook. "The first smoking contest of which we have any authentic record," he said, "came o2f at Oxford, the English Beat of learning, ia 1723. The conditions were that you should smoke three ounces of tobacco without drinking or leaving tho stage, the person first Un shed to get A prize of 12 shillings. "Ilearne says I copied it down here: "'Many tryed, and 'twas thought that a journeyman taylor of St. Pe-ters-in-the-East would have been the victor, he smoking faster than and beng many pipes before the rest, but at ast he was so sick that 'twas thought he would have dyed, and an old raan that had been a builder and smoked gently came off the conqueror, smok ing the three ounces quite out, and he told me that after it he smoked four or five pipes the same evening.' " A German Duel. A young officer quarreled with a friend who was a solicitor. Hot words were exchanged, and the officer struck his friend. Here the matter might have ended there was something to forgive and regret on both sides. But the officer's regiment heard of the af fair, and a court of honor decided that he must challenge the civilian. So a duel by command took place, and the young lawyer fell mortally wounded by his friend. When the officer re turned home he was arrested on the Information of the president of the court of honor which had forced him to tight. He was tried by an ordinary tribunal and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The president of the court of honor knew he was urging the officer to an Illegal deed when he insisted on tho duel, but honor, as ho understood it, must be satis fied at all cost Berlin Letter. The Cigar Mouthpiece. A rich Russian banker had been dis covered murdered in his house In St. Petersburg, says a writer in the Green Bag. There was no clew, but in the room there was found a cigar mouthpiece coutaining part of a cigar of such an expensive kind that it was sup posed the banker himself had been smoking it just before the crime had been committed. On close examina tion the mouthpiece was found to be worn away by the teeth of its owner, but the dead man's teeth did not fit the indentation. The servants were one by one examined, and it was then found that the hollows of the mouth piece compared exactly to the forma tion of the front teeth of the cook, to whom no suspicion had been attached. He afterward confessed to the murder. England's "Fiery Dragons." In the year 1Z22 various parts of Great Britain were visited by a remarkable meteorological phenomenon, which the old authors refer to as "the visitation of the fire drakes or dragons." The author of "Contemplation of Mysteries" says: "In ye letter parte of ye yeare (1532) ye fieri dragons appeared flying by flocks or companies in ye ayre, having swlnes' snowtes, and sometimes were they seene foure hundred flying togither." In speaking of the fire dragons in another portion of his work ho says, "Common people thinke fire drakes to be spirits which watch over hidden treasure, but the philosophers affirm them to be ye result of poisonous vapors which are spontaneously lighted in ye ayre." Ireland's Coast Cliffs. The finest cliff scenery in the United Kingdom is on the coast of the county of Donegal, at the northwest of Ire land, facing the Atlantic, where the variety and grandeur of the cliffs are most thrilling and Impressive. Slieve League, south of Glen Columbkille, is a superb introduction to Donegal's coast splendors. In less than half a mile from the sea the mountain rears its height of nearly 2,000 feet In the island of Achill, off the west coast of Ireland, the cliffs of Croghan, at Achill Head, rise sheer from the wa ter8 edge to the dizzy height of 3,000 feet.
