south of Now York city , and 1,710
miles from Hamburg. |
They worn dlHcovorod by a Portu-
Kiii'so named Har o In 1418 , and wore
KOOII colonized and Holtlod , but In 1580
those 'iHlandH belonged to Spain , but
were retaken by Portugal In 1G40. '
Christopher Columhim lived hero fern

tor of the governor. PoroHtrollo. Ho' '
also Htoppod at Madeira when on his
voyage In which ho dlHcovorod Aineri- j
on. 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. "

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

What it It Killing Lawn ?
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.
