March 29.—The ; cotton boll weevil will be unusuallly J numerous and destructive this year, , according to the report by Dr. Hunter :n charge of the bool weevil investiga- ( t?on for the department of agricul- 1 ture. He says: ; "Conditions indicate clearly that the weevils will be unusually abun- 1 dant in the cotton fields, and that great damage is to be expected." : 16,053 IMMIGRANTS ARRIVE. | New York, March 29. —Breaking all : ■ records this year and exceeded in the history of immigration at this port only ' by the arrivals the last day of April, 12 steamships landed 16,053 aliens to day. This inrush more than taxed the 1 clearing house on Ellis Island, which, working with its full force, passed 5,- 500 through the inspecting lines. Not until Friday will the immigrant sta-j tion resume a normal condition, and | efore that time, if steamships now \ efore that time if steamships now due arrive, several thousand more will be added to the horde of the final week in March. Together with the immense number of immigrants there were 1,896 cabin passengers. This caused congestion in the inspec tion department of the customs ser vice, as the fleet docked at nearly the same time. More than 100 customs in spectors were distributed at the piers, and there were tedious delays that were inevitable because of the sman force to care for nearly 6,000 pieces of baggage. Not for a month will the additional inspectors annually placed on the force be assigned, as the congested condi tions of today were quite out of the or dinary at this time of the year. The President , A Busy Washington, March 30. —President Roosevelt, after returning from a half hour's visit to a dentist, declared that he never felt better in his life.

Ho has been urged to take a few days' rest, but it was said at the White House that he does not contemplate leaving the city in the near future. SOUTHERN PACIFIC RESTRAINED.

Dover, Del., March 30. —If he can steer a clear course between the Wo man's Christian Temperance Union and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Samuel Unro, a Ches'wold farmer and poultry fancier, proposes to put artificial incubators out of ousiness by substituting drunk en turkey hens. The experiment has been made with remarkable success. Unro dosed two turkey hens with rye whiskey and placed each of :hem upon a nest of twenty-five chicken eggs. Judicious potations kept the turkeys stupid and they would not leave the nests. The result, was that out of 50 eggs .4S chickens came forth, and the "mothers" were allowed to sober up in order to care for their broods, which they are doing with true maternal ten derness, though both seem somewhat puzzled over the matter. Two more turkey hens have now been put to nest upon twenty-five eggs each, and if the little brown jug holds out there will soon be four dozen mroe chickens running about on the Unro farm. CURED RHEUMATISM. Mr. Wm. Henry, of Chattanooga, ! Tenn., had rheumatism in his left arm. "The strength seemed to have gone out of the muscles so that it was useless for work," he says. "I applied Cham berlain's Pain aim and wrapped the arm in flannel at night, and to my re lief I found that the pain gradually left me and the strength returned. In three weeks the rheumatism had dis appeared and has not since returned." If troubled with rheumatism try a few applications of Fain Balm. You are certain to be pleased with the relief which it affords. For sale by Shuford Drug. Co. EXPLOSION KILLED TWO.

North Dakota has a pure paint law. Prof. Ladd, the state chemist analy zes a certain paint labeled "contains only lead and zinc and is strictly pure," and finds it no lead at all, a resinous oil and benzine.

Norfolk, Va., March 30. —In M a y> 1609, just two years after the lauding" of the first settlers at Jamestown, a fleet of nine vessels, carrying 500 pas sengers—men, women and children set sail from England, bound for the nsw colony. , The fleet was under the command of Captain Christopher Newport and on Newport's vessel were Sir yhomas Gates, the newly appointed lieutenant governor of the Jamestown colony, and Sir George Somers, who as an admiral, v.as to look after the "navy." When they were within eight days of their destination they were caught in the tail of a hurricane aud the -'Sea Ven ture," with Newport Gates and Somers and 150 people aboard, became sepa rated from the remainder of the fleet, and, after being torn and shaken by the storm, sprang a leak. The plight of the colonists became grievous and hope v.as well-nigh abandoned when land jwas sighted and on the summit of a mighty wave their vessel was lodged between the ledges on the rocky shore and the voyagers landed on one of the Eermuda Islands, which were then a rnrt of Virginia, although several hun dred miles off the Virginia coast. Six Die on Island. Here the c6lony lived for nearly a year, as castaways upon a beautiful tut uninhabited land. Focd they had in plenty;fish turtle and wild fowl and .saores from the ship. Huts were builded and the ship's tell was brought to land and used as i mil to worship, morning and eve ning. I There were marriages, two children ! wore Lora anj six people died, among tIi r TS ' tSo wife" of Admiral Som erK. Of the two -irth, a boy and a g'r l , one was named Bermudas and the other Bermuda. Bermuda was the (lighter of John Rolfe„ the colonist who, after the death of his wife in Jamestown, married Pocahontas, the Indian princess. Altogether the lot of the castaways was. not an unpleasant one, but never the less they strained their eyes in the direction of the Virginia coast to catch tlie glimpse of a sail that never capje. Almost a year wept by and as the chance of rescue seemed hopeless, two small barks were constructed from the cedars of the Bermuda forests and the portions of the wreci of the "!j>sa Ven ture," and upon these, which were named "Patience" and "Deliverance," the colonists embarked and on the 24th day of May 1610, they sailed into Hampton Roads and passed along the site where the Jamestown Tercenten nial, in commemoration of the found ing of Jamestown, is to open April 26, Proceeding up the James River they arrived at Jamestown and found that their companions of the fleet which left England a year before, had reached the colony marty months previous. The story of this shipwreck, as re ported in England, gave rise to many literary productions, including Shakes peare's ' Tempest," and the supersti tious tales which the castaways told of the haunted islands of "the vext I Bermoothes," upon which dwelt "in' an enchanted den the furies which all men did shun as perdition," gave the scene of Prespero practicing his magic while "witches hovered in the air and uncouth shapes appeared and vanish ed." A WOMAN TELLS HOW TO RE LIEVE RHEUMATIC PAINS. I have been a very great sufferer fiom the dreadful disease, rheumatism, for a number of vears. I have tried many medicines but never got much relief from any of them until two years ago, when I bought a bottle cf Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

Through my advice many of my friends have, tried it and can tell you how won derfully it has worked. —Mrs. Sarah A. Cole, 140 S. New St., Dover, Del. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a liniment.
