LITARY MID

NAVAL DISPLAY From All Parts of World Great Vessels WWill Come to Hampton Roads. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION THIS HISTORIC CITY WILL CELE BRATE THE THREE HUN DREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS SETTLEMENT IN A MOS BE FITTING MANNER. Norfolk, Va., Jan. 11. The athletic Karnes of Greece, the gladiatorial ton tests of Rome, the jousts and tourna inents of the days of chivalry, have logically been succeeded In our times of commercial endeavor by county and state fairs and on a still larger scale bv jrreat expositions. Bodily strength and skill of the ancient days has giv en way to the mental strength and skill of the modern period. The only way man can gauge his relative merit Is by comparison, hence competitions have always been popular. The first world's fair was held in London during the middle of the last centurj. It served as a vehicle for the exploitations of the world's products, just as county fairs had affordded local, mechanical and industrial geniuses an opportunity to enter their products in corapetitidn. This first venture was very successful and other nations followed In the lead of England, holding universal expositions. Originally these expositions had no raison d'etre other than a display of industry. In 1776 Americans inaugurated an exposition to commemorate the centennial of the Declaration of Independence and since then all of our principal expositions have purported to memorialize some Important event in the history of our nation or of our continent These expositions have not been historical, except so far as their title was historic. There has been a little of history and of art and of education in each of them, but these have been minor themes, overshadowed by the great motive industrial display. To a certain extent people have tired of mechanical exhibits, therefore, when It was proposed to celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of the Jamestown settlement, the commemoration was planned radically different from preceding centennial celebrations. It was determined to illustrate the history of what Is now the United States from its beginning at Jamestown to show just how the first settlements developed Into the colonels and the colonies into the states. The State of Virginia invited her sister commonwealths to celebrate this birthday with her and each was asked to show the part played by the exhibiting commonwealth in the formation and development of the country. Recognizing the desire of the Jamestown- celebrants to depart from precedent and hold a really historical fete, congress decided not merely to help the Virginians to celebrate their birthday, but inaugurated on the part ff the whole United States a great international naval and military display Inviting all the nations of the world to send their ships and soldiers to Virginia in 1907. Just on the borders of Hampton Roads, that splendid harbor in which the Merrimac and Monitor fought their duel during the Civil War, a magic city has arisen an apotheosis of colonial architecture. Irge or pniall ornate or plain, every building harks back to the seventeenth century. The shingled cottages and the brick palaces adorned wi;,h Corinthian colonnades, are of even periods, ihe former being replicas of colonists homes, the latter idealized and magnified colonial capitols. The participating states have adopted the same policy as the Exposition. Their buildings are also colonial and sorae of them very imposing. They line the water front of the grounds for nearly a mile and present a delightful picture to the visitor from the nea. Architecturally, the government buildings are similarly modelled. Industrial development has not been ignored. Rightly to appreciate the history of a country one must study its commerce. Mechanical arts and industries, transportation, agriculture, etc., will have exemplifying displays, but the chief- feature of the exposition proper will be its historical showing and the most picturesque and attrac tive division will be the monstrous na val rendezvous and military encamp ment. From all parts of the world great ships will come and anchor in Hampton Roads. This harbor, which con tains ne hundred and sixty square miles of protected water way. gives anchorage for the fleets of civilization. Every country in the world. which iossesses a navy, will have one or more shins at the exposition and pome of them will be represented by sciuadrons, while the display of the United States will include a large number of her finest vessels. Foreism countries will perhaps send only their battleships and large cruis ers, but our own nation will show all the various styles of sea architecture the tiny sub-marine, the torpedo boats and destroyers, the miniature gun boats, monitors, cruisers and battleships all these will anchor in Hampton Roads, and each vessel lighted at night, with numberless incandescent lights and each equipped with a powerful searchlight, which will play over the waters, will undoubtedly render the night scene at the exposition marvellously picturesque and impressive in the highest degree. The international land display will hardly be less Interesting. The drills, parades and manoeuvres of our regular army, the national guard from the various states and the visiting soldiery from abroad will prove entertaining to

WAS HER THIRD OPERATION

Miss Ida Haner in Critical Condition at Indianapolis HospitalFriends HopefulMiss Ida Haner underwent her third operation at Indianapolis yesterday. Word was received bre last night by her father, Fred lienor, that she had survived the ape-ction, but was in a critical condition and it cculd not be told at that time whrt the ' outcome would be. Her friends are hopeful for her recovery as she withstood the other ordeals so we'.i. the most jaded exposition visitor. It is unlikely that les3 than 50,000 troops will be present at any one time during the exposition, and it has been roughly calculated by a naval statistician that the ships in Hampton Roads during 1907 will be unlikely at any one time to represent a money value of less than half a billion dollars. AS RESULT OF TALK Mrs. Baldwin Heard by Many Sunday School Teachers at Reid Church. ADDRESS VERY EFFECTIVE SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS FORM ORGANIZATION IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY GET GREATER GOOD FROM WORK. As a result of the interesting and highly instructive address given yesterday afternoon in the United Presbyterian church by Mrs. Baldwin, the state primary Sunday school superintendent, steps were taken towards the establishing of a permanent primary teachers' association in this city. Temporary officers were elected, and will in conjunction with the program committee selected, prepare for the first meeting of the new organization, which will be held January 26, in the First English Lutheran church at three o'clock. Mrs. Baldwin, who has been -promi nently engaged in the primary Sunday school in Indianapolis for many years, gave some good sound advice to her hearers. She said that the teachers should tell the simple, but effective bi ble stories, in a simple and effective manner. in telling tnese sno said, the teacher must see them as the chil dren see them, and never point out the moral. As a' general ru'e, the children comprehend this long before the story is at an end. Telling ihem the moral, spoils the story, she said. "To be the primary teacher in fact as well as act, the teacher should devote flfAvu Tiautcs each day to ihe study of the lesson. Three of th3 fundamental principles on whichjthe success of primary teaching lies, is that the teacher must by all odds know the bible, must know the children, and the environments which surround their home life, and lastly, but not least, the teacher must know the methods and principles of teaching. She said "It takes infinite love, infi nite tact and infinite patience to teach children." , A feature of the Primary Union, the name of the organization of primary teachers, will be that the lessons will, at each meeting, be taught as the teacher would teach his or her class of small children. Confidences and experiences will be exchanged and the workers of all the different denominations will work together that the small children of the city may profi. The temporary officers elected yesterday were: Mrs. Hieger, Dresident, and Miss Hazel Gregg, secretary. The program committee is composed of Dr. S. R. Lyons, Miss Schultz and Prof. Fiske.

His literary life began with the play "Henry III," in 1S29, and his labors continued to his death, a period of forty-one years.

CHILD'S EVIDENCE MAY SAVE FATHER

Ten-Year-Old Anna Knudson To Take Stand in Behalf of Her Parent. CHARGED WITH MURDER LITTLE ONE WILL TESTIFY THAT THEIR HOME WAS HAPPY ONE BEFORE HER MOTHER'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH. Publishers' Press. Chicago, Jan. 12. Despite a desper ate effort to exclude then from the court room, ten year old Anna Knud son has practically forced the court to accept the testimony of herself and her little brothers, Gustave and Wilfred, in favor of their father, Knud O. Knudson. the millionaire West Pullman contractor charged with poisoning his wife, Augusta. The three children will take the stand Monday. The prosecution pre vailed on the court not to let them even sit with their father during the trial lest they prejudice the jury. The defense questioned the wisdom of accepting them as witnesses. Shut off from telling her story to the jury Anna began a campaign of publicity through the newspapers which regularly printed her letters commenting on each days testimony as it was brought out in court. So telling w-ere her blows that her fathers lawyers changed their plans and determined to summon her in an effort to save the contractor from the gallows. Anna's testimony will be along two lines. She will absolutely contradict the witnesses who have declared the Knudsons home life unhappy and Knudson seemingly to have rejoiced as his wife's illness grew more and more serious. There could have been no kinder husband or father, she said. In her own mind she has analyzed his own behavior after hi3 wife died and is convinced that his grief was unfeigned. Then she will turn her attention to the witnesses for the prosecution. Most of these have been women who were much with Mrs. Mrs. Knudson shortly before her death. Anna says they were friends neither of Knudson nor his wife, that they envied the wealth of the contractors family and that some of them manifested their dislike so plainly that Knudson won their positive hatred by seeking to drive them from his home.

He illustrated his remarks with a diagram showing how on the offense the drawing back of a linesman for a plunge revealed the purpose and weakened the line. On the defense he showed how easy it was to draw off the meager secondary defense by a fake play.
