Oct. ! I At the YJTDIANA day nt the Jamestown P Tercentennial celebration has been l eet for Oct. 11, and a royal welcome awaits the citizens of the Iloosler State when they shall come again to the mother state. Indiana was once a part of Virginia, and the blood of the F. F. V.'s of the Old Dominion of a century ago still flows In the veins of tens of thousands of Indianlans, and all summer long there bas been a constant stream of visitors to the exposition from the prosperous farms and thriving cities of the state beyond the Ohio. It was a matter of regret that the state has no building at the Tercentennial, but the people of Indiana seem determined to make up the deficiency by a most liberal attendance. i The vice president of the United States, Charles Warren Fairbanks, has been invited to respond to the address of welcome, which will be delivered by Harry St. George Tucker, president of the Jamestown exposition. The musical programme will be of unusual Interest, and other interesting features are yet to be arranged. Military parades, ' fireworks and receptions will tlose the programme. While there is no Indiana state building at the exposition, many of the uslness enterprises of the state are well represented la the department of exhibits, and Indiana people are especially welcome at all times.

The Ecenes of the War Path during the afternoon and evening are enlivening and onchauting in the extreme, and all nationalities jostle each other in a good natured carnival spirit, while the familiar yet ever strange music lends a foreign aspect to the surroundings. Looping the loops, shooting the chutes, elides for life, aerial stunts by wire nrtists, double somersaulting in automobiles from high towers, acrobatic performances and the like are among the free open air attractions of the great fairyland, while within the in- j closures there are presented some of the ' best productions of the kind ever seen, i ! But the "War rath is not all. There are balloons In the aeronautical concourse In which the visitor may soar among the clouds and take in the most magnificent view of half a hundred nestling cities, broad rivers widening and deepening into "roads" and harbors. the great bay of Chesapeake and the long line of white foam betokening the restless tide of old ocean.

Then there are the military parades and drills of thousands of soldiers from the national guard of the Eeveral states and of the regular soldiers of Uncle Sam in the infantry, artillery and cavalry branches" to be teen dally on Lee Parade. Music by the Mexican National band from the City of Mexico, military and other bands, recitals and concerts by famous musicians, airship eights, fireworks, Indian parades, grand illuminations of buildings, fountains, grounds and ships of the harbor and of the cities which cluster along its borders, all combine to produce a scene of splendor. Then the weather during October 1 Just about perfect la the region of the Tercentennial. The days are bright and warm, but not hot and the night are delightfully pleasant, while at all times the oxygen laden pure salt air of the ocean and bay la in health giving evidence everywhere. Jamestown Exposition Features. The largest building on the exposition grounds Is the States Exhibit Palace, which is 300 by 500 feet, with 130,. 000 square feet of floor Bpace and a court 30,000 square feet in area. Ohio has a flue exhibit in this building. The exposition brings together the largest fleet of war vessels in the history of the world. The Jamestown exposition commemorates the most important event in the history of the new world, the first permanent English settlement on this continent, 300 years ago. Comprehi.pivo exhibits are made bv the department of agriculture, the bureau of fisheries of the department of commerce and labor and the geological feurvey. In the Palace of Manufactures and Liberal Arts may be seen in actual operation miniature factories, turning out various products manufactured In this country. No one should fall to Visit the Mines and Metallurgy building, where there are exhibits from faiany states; the Pure Foods building, the Palace of Education and the buildings of the Latin-American countries. A visit to the Tercentennial exposition on Hampton Iioads during October is an Ideal trip, especially so if one Includes In the itinerary a tour of the that particular attention has been paid to that feature of the celebration. Historic relics, heirlooms of colonial life, precious documents from archives of family, state and nation, reproductions of famous hails and homes, all show forth the Intent and purpose of the event. Even the architecture is harmonious with the general plan, and the amusement attractions of the War Path take up the historical refrain with such productions as the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the battle between the Merrimae and Monitor and many others of similar nature. Historic Fort Monroe. The historic features of the exposition are heightened and Intensified by the sight from the Tercentennial grounds of that famous citadel Fort Monroe and the grand harbor of Hampton Roads, which rolls between the fort and the exposition. The same point of view Includes old Fort Wool, out in the middle of the channel, the site of the Monitor and Merrimae engagement and the town of Hampton, one of the first settlements, on the opposite shire. The presence of

xx A Royal Welcome From the Mother State, Virginia. The 5. Programme several great battleships in the roads does not detract from the interest in the scene, and the ever present sound of the bugle, fife and drum, the rumble of artillery and the tramp of marching thousands bring the army of Uncle Sam into the admiring view of visitors, many of whom have never before witnessed so great a gathering of troops. Of such scenes one seldom tires, but should more variety be desired the visitor may bask in the sands of old ocean at Virginia Reach or Cape Henry or he may hie away to the multitude of battlefields which dot the hills and valleys of the Old Dominion, there to rehearse history to his heart's content while he gathers bullets, pieces of shell, a soldier's buckle or button or other reminders of the strife of long ago. Then there are the verdure clad mountains, the beautiful vallevs and Tho Completed Jamestown limositionlodei of the tema Canal h rivers, the Natural bridge, the caverns of Luray, historic homes and institutions of learning and the like. Taking it all Into consideration, therefore, with the exposition and its myriad attractions, the mountains, the valleys, the rivers and the ocean, the historic features, there is no trip In this country comparable to a visit to the Old Dominion on or about Indiana day, Oct. 11.

In a nook of the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building at the Jamestown exposition is a monster iron kettle which has a history interesting to many a Union soldier who was unfortunate enough to be a prisoner in Belle Isle prison during the civil war. From this kettle soup was served In wholesale lots to the prisoners, and It is no uncommon sight to see a veteran of the blue stopping for a view of the old kettle, while th memories of that prison life of long ago seem almost legible on the time worn countenance. 7- v A3M y f A. v.

He read with pleasure, composed and wrote in a peculiar yet clear and graphic style. Polished and graceful In manner, he was the admiration and wonder of strangers and the delight of an extensive connection and friends." i His bearing brother, Colonel William Boiling, in a letter dated Dec. 10, llS41, thus alludes to his brother's speech: "Thomas' acquirements were most extraordinary.

Another picture Is that of Colonel William, who had two children who were deaf, and he employed a Mr. Braidwood, grandson of the founder of the Edenburg school, to come to America to instruct the two children at Boiling hall, Goochland county, Va. This was in 1812, and these two children of William Boiling were the first deaf persons to be educated in America. Palace of the States. One of the unique features of the Jamestown exposition is the assembling of the agricultural and horticultural products of the several states In one magnificent building, the States Exhibit Palace. Here state vies with state in making creditable displays of mammoth pumpkins, melons, potatoes and apples until the very air is filled with the pleasant perfume of the orchard and farm. Days of pleasure and profit might be well spent in the courts and aisles among the beauitful displays of this building. Jamestown's Accessibility. Within a twenty-four hour radius of the exposition there live some 40,000,000 people, or nearly half the population of the entire United States. Eight or ten railroads and as many Fteamshlp lines center in Norfolk and Newport News, making it possible to bring all of these people to the exposition during the period of the celebration, and all who enter the gates of the Colonial City by the Sea will find entertainment in the highest sense of the word. t ; c f X' ? ? ;

CHINESE WOMEN HELP REGEIVEJEC. TAFT First Demonstration of Its Kind in China's History New Epoch.

MERCHANTS TO SHOW AMITY Members of Boycott Guild Foremost in Tokens of Friendships to the Visitor. Shanghai, Oct. S. Chinese and foreign residents of Shanghai united in a demonstrative welcome to Secretary of War Taft on his arrival here tuday that exceeded any reception ever extended to a foreign statesman. After dedicating the new Y. M. Cj A. building: Mr. Taft this afternoon was the Kiiest at an elaborate reception arranged by Chinese merchants and was presented with a silver punch bowl. Most of these merchants were la the KUild organized to boycott American manufacturers. The reception thereforemarked a threat change in the sentiment of the Chinese. Visit Mar kit Xw Kpoch. This reception marked an epoch In the matter of the status of women in China, for today Chinese women of aristocratic families were present at the reception, and even presided at refreshment tables. This is the first time such a thin has happened in China. This Chinese welcome to the American visitor was most significant, and the merchants and high officials present contrasted it with Mr. Taft's former visit to Shanghai and the days of the American boycott. Tonight Mr. Taft was guest of honor at a banquet given by American residents, the largest affair of its kind ever held in Shanghai. At this banquet the secretary delivered a message from America to China. "China has no territory we desire," he said, "and she can have no prosperity that we will begrudge, nor will we resent any degree of political power or Independence to which as an empire she is Justly exercised." China Miut Keep Opeu Door. Elsewhere in his speech at this banquet Secretary Taft said: "We do not complain of loss of trade that results from the employment of greater enterprises, or attention to the demands of the Chinese market or the greater business acumen shown by competitors, but we would have the right to protest at being excluded from the trade of China by reason of pur insistence upon. the policy of the open door, The acquiesence in this" policy of all the nations interested has been so unhesitating and emphatic that It Is hardly worth while to speculate upon the probable action of the United States In case the Interests of American merchants were placed in Jeopardy and how far vthe United States would go In the protection of its Chinese trade I cannot say." V1ILLI0N FOR TRUTH Hartje, Pittsburg Millionaire, Makes New Offer to His Wife Refused. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 8. Augustus Hartje today is credited with having increased to $1,000,000 his cash offer to his wife if she would admit the truth of the charges he fllfd against her at the outset of their now notorious divorce suit. In an interview yesterday the paper manufacturer admitted having offered to pay Mrs. Hartje $600,000 If she would consent to a divorce quietly. Mrs. Hartje refused this. Today Hartje said: "I declare and reiterate that if Mrs. Hartje will make a full avowal of the truth of the charges against her in connection with Tom Madlne and turn over the children to me, therefore permitting the divorce decree I seek to be granted, I will see that she lives as well as she ever did." Slam of IVenknenn, Say Scott. "Another lamentable confession of weakness," said John F. Scott, father of Mrs. Hartje, when he heard of the offer. "If Hartje has his case won, as he now claims, why does he want to hand out 11,000.000? Let him keep his money; he will have use for every' cent of it." Over in Ireland Tom Madlne is laughing at the Pittsburg people and spending a whole lot of money. It is rumored tonight that a warrant has been Issued for the arrest of Harry' Lappe, the former fiancee of Miss Ida Scott, sister of Mrs. Hartje, charging him with attempted blackmail. Mrs. Hartje's side of the case refuses to affirm or deny the story. Lappe has fled the city and is reported to be in Texas, though his Pittsburg relatives say he is in Atlantic City. Court Withholds Decision. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 8. No decision was handed down by the Superior court today in the Hartje case, as was expected. It is probable that it will not be filed for esveral days. E0RSE SCARED TO DEATH. Noblesville, Ind., Oct. 9.

REVEALS JE SECRETS Facts and Figures From Musty Old Records Given at Inquiry. . New York, Oct. 8. For the first tlm in the history of the government's assault on the Standard Oil company figures of that company's business when it was the Standard Oil trust of Ohio and the record of the trustee In liquidation after the trust's dissolution were spread on the record today. Before Referee Ferris, who is taking evidence for use in the dissolution suit, brought in St. Louie, Prosecutor KelloKgr produced records from thos books of the trust period which heretofore had remained beyond the prosecutor's reach. These facts were put in Mr. Kellogg's hands by Clarence G. Fay, acting secretary of the New Jersey corporation. " One of the allegations in the bill of indictment brought against the Standard Oil company of New Jersey is that when the Ohio supreme court ordered the dissolution of the Standard trust in 1892 only the form of obedience to the court's orders were gone through by the trustees, and that, by exchanging trust certificates for a majority of the shares in the Standard's subsidiary companies, the trustees retained sufficient control to carry them along Intact until the reorganisation in New Jersey. Transfer Stock of 04 Concerns. Mr. Kellogg produced a transscript from the stock ledger of the old- trust showing that on April 1, 1S32, Just a month after the Standard lost it suit in the Ohio court, its trustees turned over to the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, then one of th subsidiary companies, to the Standard of New York, and various other subcompanies controlled by the trustees of the parent organization the total stocks of sixty-four corporations controlled by the trust. This left in their hands the stocks of twenty subsidiaries only. SPARKING STARTS GUNS Funniest Comedy of Errors in Courtship Almost Results Seriously. Wmiamsport, Pa. Oct 8.

Edward Wadworth of Galeton, a school teacher, who had come to town during the day, was spending the evening with his sweetheart. They saw the constables sneaking around and thought they were burglars. Wadsworth said he would watch them. He followed. The constables saw him skipping from out of one dark corner Into another. They thought he was the tramp they were looking for and gave chase. Wadsworth took to his heels. Constable Rogers fired three shots and Wadsworth threw up his arms, expecting the "highwaymen" to go through his pockets. Instead the two constables grabbed him. tore h:s coat, and were hustling him to the lockup when his young lady friend. In a condition bordering hyrteria. appeared on the Been and explained the situation.
