NEW STEAMSHIPS FOR THE BEE LINE Plans are now being made by Presi dent H. M. Atkinson, of the Brunswick Steamship Company, for new steam ships to be operated between New York and Brunswick, and Brunwlck and Ha. vana. Bo large has the passenger traf fic become on this line that It Has grown oqt of all proportions and has exceeded what had been originally an ticipated. It has now bedn decided that with the trip of the S. S. Brunswick, which left Brunswick on May 27, the ship will be withdrawn and the pas senger service will be abandoned until the company Is able to co^o with the situation. FOR JAMESTOWN Norfolk, Va., May 29.—"John Smith’’ day at the Jamestown Exposition Is suggested from New York, the plan outlined being to assemble on that day, those of the Illustrious name from all parts of the United States, to do honor to the great captain whose name they bear, on the site of his first landing on American aoll. The organisation of a "John Smith Bureau" la advised. How many are eligible to membership In a "John Smith ^Association?" Since the suggestion has been made this question Is receiving attention from a number of amateur statisticians. "The name of John Smith Is probably no more often met with In Norfolk and vicinity than elsewhere,” says James A. Wood, commissioner general of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. "The last city directory of Seattle, Wash, gave 140 representatives of the grand old name. I find the directory of Nor folk, Portsmouth and Berkeley carries fifty-four. As directories generally take no cognisance or residents of mors or less transient character nor of those not heads of families. It would be a fair estimate to classify about one-tenth of one per cent of the male population of every city In the country nnder the name of John Smith. On this general basis Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berke ley abould produce about eighty John Smiths. New York, whence cornea the suggestion for the organisation, should be able to send at least 6,009. Chicago should be good for 2,600, St. Louis for, ssy, 1,800. A convention of John Smiths at Jamestown would afford the un precedented spectacle of a gathering of more than 100,000 men of the same name.” — 25c Ladies-’ silk lisle Vests, or low-neck, no-sleeve bodies, at 35c, 3 for 1.00 Ladies’ low-neck, no-sleeve lisle Vests, with, fancy cro cheted yokes, at 50c, 75c, 1.00 Ladies’ Italian silk Skirts, handsomely embroidered, pink, blue and white, 3.75 to 4.50 Ladies’ Union Suits, low- neck, no-sleeves, lace trim med pants or close fitting cuff knee lengths, I.OOts 1.50 Japanese Fans—and this is fan time.
