John Smith and his fellow-freelooter8 upon the soil of Virginia, end the be einniniT of the permanent establish ment of the first white colony in this republic of ours. On May 25, 1607, now 290 years ngone, JameMown island was occupied and preparations begun for town-building. This was 13 years before the landing of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, so there com be no doubt that this was the first permanent white settlement upon the land which now constitutes the United States of America. There are upwards of 15,000 Virgin ians residing in the national capital, makiner their livings as federal office holders. That is to say, that some 3.000 office-holders from' Virginia support a , colonv of 15,000 people, all of them in tensely loyal to their state, and proud of their lineage. Some 20 years ago there began an annual exodus from Washington to Jamestown to celebrate the anniversary; and there will be no hiatus in this procedure. The pilgrim ages will begin two days before the an niversary, tens of thousands of Virgin ians will visit Jamestown, but the prin cipal celebration this year will be in Richmond, ' In order to describe this ancient lo cality the writer went to Jamestown island, the trip occupying only two Hno iw Hie federal tfovernment was discovered. It seems that the Island has been crumbling so rapidly of late years that the Virginia senators have . i L . i - secured appropriations ior mc ! pose of preventing the entire destruc tion of the Island by the swift cur rent which sweeps unobstructed for eight miles, and fiercely carries away tons of clay and sano. ji"i' jetties along shore may divert the channel a little, but if the Island is to be fully protected it will prove to be n very costly proposition.

If the young men who hang about h, ni es. workino lor smaii pay aa clerks or factory hands, or "looking for a job," could only have a nine foresight ami energy mjecicu mio their character, they would quit, going to the country and get at work to own a farm. Of course, there is no sudden mnisition of wealth to be expected from a turn of the markets, but there is a certainrty for any one, persiste.it and energetic, of a comfortable mid dle and old age. Wages uo not loot as high as those of the " snaps " in the city, but in fact they are much better. The difference is more than offset by board and lodging, and less extra expenses ana cioming. Farm wotk is not wnai u useu iw be. Almost everything is cone uy machinery. Hours are shorter and food better. The labor is healthful and requites a mind ready, willing and well-informed. This character is worth having. Farm wages are really good, and an economical young man can soon be able to own a smaii piece of land. Thence on, his success will depend on himself and not on others or the chances of business over which he has no control. He has a home and an object in life. Small larms anywhere in the settled portions o the country will pay when well man aged. Skill and application nowhere pay better than on the tarm or garuen patch. The land ovner, well started and out of debt, is a king among men. He is independent of all kinds, has his living first from his labor and can add the refinements of life as means come to him. He can have telephones and trolley cars, newpapers and a dai'y mail. He has time for study and must keep up to the times in his business. Later he may attain ease and influence and live enjoyably to a good old age. The trade ot the farm er is certainly well worth cultivating by any one who has grit and fore sight. , Yet thousands will inanlly hang about the cities, " putting up a face " and living from hand to mouth with no positive prospects whatever.

It is situated 30 miles above Nor folk and Newport News, on the James river, and is about 70 miles below Rich mond. Old inhabitants say that it has shrunken within a generation, but that it. has now an area of 1,700 acres. It is two and a half miles long, and only lit tle more than half a mile in width. From the main shore it is separated by a narrow stream and some marshy low land, over whieh there is n low wooden ; bridge. The whole plnce looks "old timey." The island is as barren of civilization as Palmyra of the desert, and the only evidences of its former teeming habi , tation are the walls of the Ambler mansion-house, and the pitiful piece ot tower of the nrst rroii'Riani, in....... built of brick in the new world. TheRe ! objects of interest were pointed out by I a young colored woman from the mainland, who also directed the trav eler to the screened little acrenge sur 1 rounding the relics of the church and the long neglected cemetery. There are no pictures of these interesting ob jects, but. the tower is like any ordi nary' old tower, and the mansion ' remains are composed of the small bricks imported in those early days; about half of the size of modern. bricks. The mansion Is said to have been built with bricks which were formerly used in official and ancient structures.

She was the wife of John Kolfe, nn extensive to bacco planter, and was known as Ke becca Kolfe; quite English, you know, as compared with her aboriginal name when she burned into history by her rush to the rescue of Capt. John Smith. Parson Blair often said that if he had remained at James town he would have founded the col lege there an Institution which has endured until this day, and will ever endure.

Ordors Must be Obeyed. The Supreme Court of Pennsyl vania, says the Dushore Jia icw, has decided that a soldier on duty must obey orders, and that he is not person ally responsible when he does so. The case that called out this decision was that of young Wadsworth, a mem ber of a Pittsburg regiment, on duty at Shenandoah during the strike last summer. The soldier was on guard and detected a miner trying to pass his line. He ordered him to halt, and the order not being obeyed he shot. The man was killed in his tracks. The soldier was arrested for manslaughter on his retutn home. He applied for a writ of habeas cor pus, and it was on the argument ot this writ that the decision of the Su preme Court was given. They said that if the orders under which the man was acting were too severe and unjustifiable, the officer who issued the orders was the one to hold, and not the soldier. Wadsworth was re leased from custody and exculpated from the blame. This is a clear warning for the future that soldiers are on duty at scenes of disorder for the purpose of restoring order; that they have authority to kill, and that they will kill if necessary. In other words, General Gobin's "shoot to kill" order has been upheld. A. R. Mrs- Burdick to get $25,000. Pcnnell'i Insurance to be Paid Widow of Murdered Man.
