NORFOLK, Va., July C Prominent
among tho great, organizations to
gather at tho Jamestown Exposition
may. be classed1 l he Travelers Protec
tive Association' yf America, whose
Win annual convent ion next year is to
bo held at the Exposition Convention
Hall. This is to be the largest, T, P.
A. convention ever held and will be
attended by "Knights of. the Grip"
from every state In tli union. A
movement is on foot to arrange for
the building of. a fine edifice at the
exposition for' this association, to be
known as the T. P. A. Building.- It
will be, used as general headquarters
for all members of the association
and will probably serve the purpose
of a social club for the travelling men
Jio,.viMitHiyw exposition.
Col. Geo. W. Smith, of St. Louis,
chairman of the National Board of
Directors', Is at the head of the move
ment and Is being ably assisted by
Other . prominent members of the
order. He is not only a prominent
"Knight of the Grip" but is also a
colonel on the staff of Governor Folk,
of Missouri.
The annual convention of the T. P.
A. will occur next May or June. A
special T. P. A. dav at the exposition
will be designated as soon as the date
of the convention Is settled.
One of the most magnificent dis
plays ever made by a railroad at an
exposition will be made by' the South
ern Railway at the Jamestown Ex
position. It will occupy i, 0O0 square
feet of space and will 'be the most
comprehensive as well as the most
beautiful exhibit that as prosaic a
thing as a railroad could get up. The
most attractive feature of the exhibit
will be tho display of the products of
the country along the line of the road.
The Southern Railway runs through
the mountains, hills and valleys of
the sunny South, a portion of the
country that Is beautiful and pictures
que as well as productive. The- pro
ducts of the country traversed by this
road Include much that Is Interesting,
and the Southern Railway's display at
the Jamestown''Exposilion will doubt
less excite the admiration of mil lions
of visitors.
A new magazine has been estab
lished. In Norfolk; whose special
province Is to cover the features of
general interest pertaining to the
exposition. It is called the James
town Magazine and appears with the
sanction of the authorities) as the
official periodical of the exposition.
The new magazine is handsomely
Illustrated with exposition views and
contains much of interest pertaining
to exposition matters. Its purpose is
to faithfully record tho progress and
incidents of the Jamestown Exposition
and for this reason it will be; a useful
magazine to keep on file.
A special feature of tho Jamestown
Magazine will be the excellence of its
Illustrations. Everything of interest
connected with the exposition will he
photographed and shown in some
Issue of the magazine. Accompanying
these pictures will- be' descriptive
articles by well known writers, every
subject of interest to exposition peo
ple and visitors will be covered. It
will appear monthly hereafter until
the close of the exposition and may
be .made a permanent publication, its
popularity and successful beginning
justifying such a prediction.
The regular monthly meting of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
was held yesterday afternoon, in the
ladies' parlor of Centenary church.
, After the devotional - exercises ail
enjoyed Mrs. J. N. Atwatei's ren)it
ol her trip to Charlotte, where she
represented her society as delegate
to the annua! conference ot that body.
Greensboro will entertain the society,
next year. Mrs. Atwater spoke 'of
how the work of missions had .been'
liroadi tied -and . grown, -and the enthu
siasm that was gained by attending
these conferences.
The society here has quite a cred
itable missionary library, but. they
have gotten scattered, so the librarian
wishes to urge all who have hooks
belonging to the missionary library,
to bring or send them in. Especially
do they need t'he'ni for reference Iti
the' country which they are now
studying Africa. Tho lesson in
Christus Liberator for next time will
he the fourth chapter East Africa.

Judge Olcott Is Said to Have Arrived
at the Decision to Ask That Com

tc Harry Thaw's Sanity.
By Wire to The Sentinel.
NEW YORK. July T.i Intimation
are heard today that the defense nia
have to change its present plans In
the fight for life of Harry Thaw,
charged with the murder ot Stanford
White, and flislead of trying to prove
emotional Insanity will ask for the
appointment ot a commission to ascer-'
tain if Thaw Is sane.
This sudden contemplated change Is
said to be brought, about by" the com
plete failure ol counsel for the Thaw
family -to unearth any real evidence
thai White had sought to renew rela
tions with' Mis. Thaw after her mar
nage. I nless such evidence can he
found it robs the defense of any
chance to plead Justification of
emotional Insanity.

The statement In this morning's

Republican (of the Blackburn faction)
had been asked to present the name
of Zeb V. Walser, of Lexington, be

tically what many have predicted, A

hopes to name the man and he recog
