Napoleon WIIH brought to Mad eira , when taken on the way as an exile to St. Helena. ' The climate IH tropical , the lowest that the thermometer registers Is 47 degrees R In the winter and the hottest - ' test IH 7G dogreoH V. In the summer,1 thus this Is a great health resort. The yearly rainfall Is thirty Inches. Thus all the land , which Is very fertile must be Irrigated. The mountain range which runs through the center of the Islands Is at the highest 5,000 j feet. The largest of these Islands , I Madeira , Is thirty-live miles long and fourteen miles wldo and Fnnchnl , tlio capital , Is the largest city , 11 has fiO- 000 Inhabitants. There are 100,000 people on this Island. Wo landed from' ' ! our Bteamor In launches or canoes a distance of a mile. On entering the city wo fouTuf it somewhat clean , taken with a grain of .salt. , I The streets are generally narrow , ' from three to live foot , but are all paved with cobble stones , and reach' three and four miles up the mountain sides. The people are mostly Portuguese. ' The Roman Catholics have two fine churches , the Saint Marie and tho' ' Cathedral. The Methodist church has a line building and a beautiful park in the center of the city and near the public gardens. There are three min isters in charge , Hov. W. G. Swart , Rev. O. 11. Mind , and Rev. 11. U. Duartc. They are doing a great , work especially for the children , for they have four free schools where boys and girls can bo educated without any expense and this is a vvonderful thing because the most of the people are very poor , and hundreds of beggars live in the streets by almost extract ing monev from American tourists , ( they are the greatest travelers ) . The Beggars Curse You. When you do not contribute to the beggars , they curse you bitterly. It costs the Methodist church yearly ? 3.000 to support the fourteen teach ers and ministers. In 1J10S the church bought the beaut iful building and grounds for ? 21,000 , but the Portuguese government re quires the Methodist. Presbyterian and all Protestant churches to pay high taxes. Living expenses are very high , such as butter forty cents per pound , sugar forty cents per pound , tea $1.50 per pound , petroleum forty cents per gal lon. One of the Methodist mission work ers took us to a most beautiful pri vate banana garden and we saw car loads of bananas growing on the trees. The whole Island Is one vast mass of gardens , parks and qulntas. They raise potatoes , rye , peas , beans , sugar cane , grapes , oranges , pears , apples and many other pro ducts , and manufacture wicker bas kets , chairs , trunks , also Inlaid wood work , embroidery , gold and stiver- work. One of the charming oriental fea tures is a ride np or down the moun tain In a bullock cart drawn by two oxen. The whole landscape Is a mass of flowers , plants and trees. Thousands of peddlers follow you with flower bouquets bogging you to buy , and for five cents you can get an arm load. This Is fast becoming a health re sort. The death rate here Is low twenty to the 1,000. The housekeepers' chief energy Is n very small ant which does great damage. There are no noxious rep tiles in the islands. Wages are low , as for example , a good cook receives $11 per month ; a house servant $5 per month , and day laborers twenty cents per day. Such a condition In America Is not conceivable , for at t such wages people could not live. How do these people live you ask ? They drink water , eat cabbage , pota toes , beans , peas and flsh which are plentiful and cheap. They go bare footed , wear few clothes and sleep out-of-doors. Intemperance Is one of the greatest curses , horrors , and out rages of these Islands for almost every other door In the business part of the city Is a saloon or wlnoroom. I have never been In the Azoro or Madeira Islands before , but I must say that I am completely charmed and fascinated with all the beautiful and picturesque scenery and shall bo delighted , If fortune permits , to come * this way again. This would easily create a paradise In any person's life to visit these magnificent places. But after ono day In Punchall we renew our long yoy > ago and proceed to Ft. Gibraltar , then wo turn south for Algiers In Africa , My lottom will bo mailed from Ft. Gibraltar , IIH that Is the shortest and by far the quickest way tn America. I will close In the words of Cow- per 1 : "God moves In a mysterious way. Ills wonders to perform. Ho plants his footsteps In the sea , , And rides upon the storm. " News correspondent In mid-ocean. Chan. Wayne Ray. The Famous Gibraltar. On hoard S. S. "Cretlc , " April 29. The Temple Tour party visit Spain. Special to The News : It Is of very great Interest and valuable Instruc tion to visit Ft. Gibraltar , an Hngllsh fortress and ono of the strongest In the world. It was flrst used as a fort by a Moorish chief In 711 A. I ) . This fort Is on the north coast of the Straits of Gibraltar , which are from six to thirteen miles wide. The Rock of Gibraltar Is 1,139 feet high , and Is 11,210 miles from New York , but by the southern route by which wo have come the distance Is U.oKS miles or r.t88 : miles from the beautiful city of Norfolk. The popu lation of the town of Gibraltar is 2G.- 000 of these 0,000 are British soldiers on duty for the government , and the English have held the fortress slnco 1701 , captured by General Rooke. In the beautiful Alameda park Is a large monument In honor of General ICllott , who captured the place. This strong hold is the key to the Mediterranean soa. and , as It Is now fortified It Is In fact Impossible for any fleet to pass or repaas this rocky giant of this beautiful entrance , and a glance at the batteries will convince the most dubious. For Instance the high rock Is hewn out so that 17,000 can go in side , and here are kept food supplies sufficient to last for five years. Then there are holes bored out for the can non openings , these are everywhere up and down the mountain side , there are In all 1,010 cannons , or ono for each year since Christ's birth ; every year two now cannons are put in and one old cannon Is taken out. The largest of these cannons weighs 100 tons and uses a ball weighing 221 pounds , which carries fifteen miles , or across the straits and two miles over the land Into Africa. The largest dry dock In the world Is at Gibraltar. I took my party of eleven ashore hero and taking three carriages wo drove over the city and through the beautiful parks and gardens. The bold headland of Gibraltar Is a vast mass of Jurassic rock , towering above the sea beneath , and the harbor is excellent and 0,000 ships call bore annually. In the harbor are the flags of nil the nations and we were delighted lighted to see our own stars and stripes. On the streets you meet a most cosmopolitan crowd of people , for the streets are always crowded , and the gaudy plumes , and peculiar picturesque costumes of the strangers constantly moving up and down the avenues makes it intensely faseinat ing to stop a few minutes and watch the procession. The Moors are the most strangely dressed , and are seen In largo numbers , for It Is here that a free market now attracts him , but In the span of 1,000 years this was a stepping stone across which lie came to ravage the Iberian peninsula , and this was his last foothold when the conquering Spanish drove him back across the sea. It was for this fort ress that nations for 1,000 years have warred , struggled and fought and thirteen times It has been besieged for periods of months and years. High above the city is a cannon call ed the evening gun which is fired at G p. in. , cnch day and Is a warning for every stranger to leave the city , and those not obeying this order are arrested and brought to trial , ono hour and a half Is allowed before the Iron gates nro closed. Those wishing to remain longer must secure a permit from the governor. A few miles to the north is the border line of Spain ncross which the English carriages are not nllowed to' drive nor nre the Spanish carriages nllowed to drive Into Gibraltar , but between the two countries Is n nnr- row strip of neutral Innd nbout a fourth of a mile wide. Everywhere you turn there Is a charm or attraction , every passerby will entice your attention because he possesses some tsrange manner or dress. The very atmosphere of the plnce wins your self-possession. Every house , palace , cathedral , church , store or bazar strikes you with unbounded amazement. Passing down along a street I endeavored to take the pic tures of two Moorish men , but they covered up their heads and howled like whipped dogs , for it is against their religious belief to have tholr pictures taken , they put tholr robes over their heads and waited a long time and then looked to see if I were gone. Here we broke our Journey and went Into the Spanish town of La Llnea. When we loft Now York wo never dreamed of going into Spain , but we were very glad we could go. But dear friends , Spain is not the United States not by 10,000 leagues. The Riff-Raff of Earth. It seemed we met the riff-raff of nil the enrth ; grnfters , liars , thieves , beggars - gars , bullfighters , all those came to us uninvited and introduced them' selves nnd with flowery offers nnd oily tongues contended for our money , We visited two of their boy's schools , they were nil standing and talking nt the snmo time , besides the teachei had his hat on. Poor ? They were all dirty and ragged , barefooted and sickly looking. The streets wore thronged with loafers and beggars Bullfights are held daily and salooni and gambling places nro ns numerous Wo wore told that most of the people plo were Ignorant , and I boltovo U There Is no doubt In my mind tha Spain Is rotten , corrupt and cruel am ono of our greatest deeds of benevolence lonce wns when wo rescued the people plo of Cuba from tholr regime o Spanish suppression. Her subjocti s nro heavily taxed nnd the poorer nnd mlddle-clnssqs receive lltto education. The constnrt occurrence of bullfights are very degrading nud demoralizing , and yet the Spaniards feast upon these cruel performances. There Is a continual wrangle on between the Spaniards of La Llnca nnd the town of Gibraltar ( being n few miles from each other ) and the citizens hate ench other Intensely which Is shown In this Incident , for wo took an English guide from Gibraltar to La Llnea , but after ho had taken us through the city , nnd when wo wore about to leave , the Spanish guides complained to the police and our guide was ar rested and taken to prison , and wo came away alono. Ho was kept about two hours and lined and then turned looso. This Is the way the English trent the Spanish guides when they pass over the border into Gibraltar. Such treatment keeps up a constant strife between the people. America is good enough for mo. I have not completed the story of Spain and Ft. Gibraltar , but fool that I must close nnd will mall this letter at Algiers , which Is the capital of Al geria , a French province In northern Africa , 3,620 miles on a straight line from New York city. I am sincerely the corrosepondont for The Norfolk Dally News. Chas. Wayne Ray. Gave Praise to Norfolk. "There Is no bettor spot on earth that I know of than Norfolk. " This was the flattering tribute paid to Norfolk by Head Consul A. R. Tnl- hot of the Modern Woodmen of Amor- lea , In responding to the cordial wel come which had been tendered by Mayor John Friday. During the afternoon an address was delivered by Mrs. Remlngtoi ( of the Royal Neighbors. C. E. Hartford , chairman of the committee , Introduced the speaker. Later came the address of National Lecturer Davis. During the afternoon the band and Voget's orchestra rendered selections and Mr. Voget gave a violin solo , "Holabird , " of his own composition. Miss .leanette Parish played the ac companiment. Firemen s'orved ns a guard of honor to the Woodmen throughout the day. Behind tlio guard of honor in tlio pa- rude came the Norfolk band. After the band Mayor Friday sat alone in a carriage drawn by two tan horses. Then a dozen automobiles carrying the Modern Woodmen ofllcials , city council and members of the Commer cial club followed. Later came drill tennis nnd members of the Modern Woodmen on foot , closely followed by the hose wagon of the Norfolk fire de partment , which had been decorated for the event. A log , a few axes and a goat caused amusement to the great throng on the walks. The hook and ladder wagon with sturdy firemen standing along the footboards brought np the rear of the procession. Mr. Davis Is Heard. In part Mr. Davis saiu : "It is un- neccessary for me to tell you any- li'ng | ' about the statistical records of the society , for you know It well. You know what the society has done as a life Insurance organization , you know of the 40,000 homes It has entered In the darkest hour of afflic tion. You know of the protection to vives , mothers and children. I be- love that tonight by studying the easons for the development of our ociety , we can contemplate Its fu- nro by applying the same rules to ho future that has made our past .evelopmont possible. I speak in vords of soberness when I say the Modern Woodmen of America Is the vorld's history. There has not In ,000 years of the world's history been .cveloped an achievement of greater nagnltude than this society of ours. Vaturnlly to our minds come the ques- ion , 'Why has this society multiplied n twenty-seven years from ono to wenty-five members to one of more ban a million members ? " Why did one hundred nnd fifty thousand men * pply for membership last year , and vhy did sixty-.ive thousand men seek admission during the flrst four months of this year ? ' Some men may tell you t is because of leadership , some might say it is because of the splendid crops of Held men In the work all the time ; iomo might say It Is because of the earnest fraternalism of the men who neet in the 14,000 local camps to ransact the general business of the society. I do not think this Is the whole reason , although I believe those men are the salt of the earth. But here Is something more fundamental , something down deeper in the soul than nny quality of leadership or man- igoment that inndo possible the de velopment of this society. It is my nimble opinion that which has made .ho Modern Woodmen of America pos sible ns it stands tonight is the fact .hat humanity needed that which this society came to offer to mankind. Hu manity needs this grent moral servant In working out the problems which confront us. The Important Thing. "What Is the most important work man has to do In this life ? I don'l need to ask that question of you men who nre fathers. It Is the develop ment of his children. It is the mosl Important duty that man has to face In his Journey through life. That h the thing you have given the best years of your life to accomplish You know the sweat of your brow the labor of your brnln nnd the thoughts of the long hours of tin night has often been upon the ad vancement of those who nro youi children. Gentlemen , the reason tin Modern Woodmen of America hni been made possible nnd mnlntalm its position in the world today Is be cause it comes to men nnd who In 1 nccompllsh the greatest work of thol lives. Luther Burbank's opinion. "A few months ago I sat bcsldo on of the world's greatest scientists , Mi Luther Burliank of Santa Rosa , Cal ifornia. Neighbor Burbnnk responded to n toast , 'Our Flowers , the Chil dren. ' Ho told us that the Modern Woodmen of America Is the only frn- ternnl society of nny description with which ho Is Identified. Ho told us that ho had long hold the opinion .hat Just as marvelous results could bo obtained in the development of lien nnd women as ho has been able .o procure In the development of ilnnts and flowers. Ho said that the application of the snmo laws that ho used in the work that has caused ilm to bo known as n plant wizard , would apply to the development of > oys and girls , Into men and women , lie told us that ho had not created or produced anything new , but that which he has accomplished has been accomplished by the Intelligent usy of that with which nature so grn- clously provided him. Ho told us that you could take out of the human family men , women , boys and girls , nnd by the , application of the same laws and the same processes Just as nnrvolous results could bo obtained In the development of manhood nnd womanhood as is possible in the de velopment of the orchard and flower garden. Relief at San Francisco. "You remember four years ago on the eighteenth day'of last month , the civilized world was shocked by an awful calamity that hold In Its ter rible grasp the city nbout San Fran cisco bay. You will remember that nboiit 4,000 people were made home less , and the report that the women and children of that city slept In the hills and in the streets. I went there , gentlemen , as your servant , I went as your messenger hearing your mes sage of brotherhood to the stricken members of this society who lived In the city. Head Consul Tnlbot and the council had sent mo an order on the government mint for $3,000 as a starter to he used In the Immediate relief of members of your society who had suffered In tlio earthquake and lire. During those weeks of suffering , many times there was a line of men , women and children , sometimes live and six blocks long , standing for hours at a time trying to secure provisions for the needs of their families , and I want to say , that it may be snid to you in my observation and with the greatest respect for the Modern Wood men of America , that no member of this society can say that his wife or his children ever stood in the bread line. Now this Is just an instance that happened to come under tlio per sonal observation of one of many ser vants such as you maintain through out the different sections of the Juris diction to carry on the work of the Modern Woodmen of America. "You have seen the mighty oak of the forest nnd It has challenged your admiration by Its great strength. You have soon the rose smothered to mother enrth around Its base strug gling to get a.glimpse of the sunlight above. You have seen Its tendrils take hold of the strong oak clinging to its weathered sides and bo lifted to life and sunlight above. My friends we see the father like the mighty oak of the forest. The children clinging to him for shelter and strength , but in the storms of life this oak of the home is taken away. I want to liken the Modern Woodmen of Americn to tlio oak of the forest , which Is to take the place of the father. Around its feet are gathered the fatherless homos clinging for protection under Its boughs , nnd there is a work for us , a service to humanity which we must fulfill. " Madison Wins Two Prizes. The Box Elder camp badges were seen everywhere when the Columbus- Madison special train , carrying over 100 Madison delegates , arrived in the city nt 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. This delegation was the largest and won the prize of $50 given by the Commercial club. Chalrmnn C. E. nartford of the lo cal entertainment committee , headed the line of March.

Anderson and Lieutenants Pllgor and Anderson took their positions on Norfolk avenue nnd Fourth street , where they Judged the drilling of the Madison and Wnyne drill teams , the only teams participat ing , both of which , according to the national guard officers , put up splen did drills. No points were decided , but the prize of $25 cash was awarded the Madison team , the ofllcers declar ing they were better drilled than the Wayne team. WIsner wns to have md a drill team hero , which is said to jo a crack team , but owing to the fact ; hat a number of their members wore 11 they did not participate In the con test. A largo crowd witnessed the .Irllllng , nftor which the Norfolk band jave a concert on the square deserted ly the drillers. Soon the holiday lights across the street were turned on and the streets tooK on a festive spirit. Woodmen from nearly every city surrounding Norfolk locked nrms with Norfolknns nnd the crowd was ono of good humor. At 8 o'clock the doors of the Audi torlum were thrown open to the pub' ' lie , who enjoyed the history of the tuberculosis germ nbly described by Hend Consul A. R. Tnlbot who , wltli the aid of Illustrated pictures of the tuberculosis germ nnd the tuberculo sis sanitarium of the Modern Wood men of Americn in Colorado , whore he said hundreds of men have beer saved from the disease , made a pier for donations for additional utlllt ; buildings at the sanitarium grounds which he says nro badly needed , At ter the Illustrated lecture Prof. Ott ( Voget gave a violin solo and wns on thuslnstlcnlly applauded. This ondci the progrnm for the public nnd th doors were barred to those who wer not members and the work of the Ir 10 illation of now candidates was at one : r. taken up. < i SOCIETY * * * * + + * + + + + + + + * * * + . + + + * Pleasures of Week.

What's the matter with the lawn ? What Is this blasting evil that has killed the roots nnd made black , un sightly patches where once lay green , velvet carpets of bluegrass ? It's a grub worm , says the state uni versity expert. Writing to a Norfolk man , the scientist declares It is the Juno bug grub worm that has made a sorry spectacle of the lawns In Nor folk. And one Norfolk man puts forth the theory that perhaps the Increasing army of English sparrows , which are threatening to completely exterminate the American song bird , are to blame for the thriving of the grubs. The theory Is that the song birds , which formerly destroyed the grubs , arc be ing killed off nnd thus ono of the best sources of protection to the lawn Is being destroyed. Killing English sparrows Is one method suggested , therefore , as help ing to save the lawns. The "Ghosts" Are Found. The ghost mystery of the Norfolk Western Union telegraph office has been solved. The voices of men talking In the room when no one except the lonely operator was about , have been dis covered to come from the relny of the telegraph Instruments which con nect the Northwestern railroad tele graph wires to the Joint telephone line used by the superintendent's of fice nnd telephone stations along the railroad line. I E. J. Townley , local manager for the Western Union , was startled a j few nights ago by voices of a num- I her of men calling to ench other. The voices seemed to come from under the telegraph tnble upon which n num ber of instruments were clicking. He Investlgnted but , finding no one un der the tnblo he went downstairs , be llevlng someone was In the Bee Hive I store , which Is located directly under the telegraph office. No one wns there either , nnd he returned upstairs whore he made a thorough investlga tion of the back rooms. His senrcl proved fruitless and he again sm down to his table nt which ho hat boon working on monthly reports. Soon there came a voice ns If some one wns talking out of n phonogrnpl directly behind him. Ho wns stnrtled nnd fully believed the office wns haunted. Again n new voice wns plainly hoard snylng , "Be sure to rip rap Hint plnce , " and other words which sounded ns If n railroad con structlon gnng wns receiving orders from their foreman. After walking restlessly around the room he heard a buzz on the relay of one of the telegraph Instruments , then n voice snld "Hello" nnd rallrond orders wen hoard plainly from the telegraph re lay and the mystery wns solved. i The telegraph wire wns getting In ductlon from the railroad telophom line and the mechanical parts of hi telegraph relay plainly sounded tin railroadmen's orders.
