'TOOK THE DUKE'S BUTTONS.
Gift of His King Was Taken-Rifled
0abin While Feast Went on
Merrily.
Norfolk, May 21.-Irresponsible
American vandalism has found vent
in an unexpected manner and, as a
consequence of the excessive zeal of
the souvenir fiends, his royal high
ness, the duke of the Abruzzi, is
mourning the loss of the 'gold toilet
set given him by his royal cousin, the
king of Italy; his olothes brushes,
his comb and brush, and almost all
the but tons on his numerous uniforms.
The articles named, together with
some others which no one has cared
to name. disappeared one evening last
week from the duke's cabin aboard
his flagship, the Varse, just after he
had given a brilliant entertainment to
which a har-o number of guests were
bidden. When the evening's .aieties
were over. the duke's Cahin looked
like a Na as prairie :af,ter a visit
from the grasshoppers.
Little did the gallant Italian ad
miral think as he and his oficers
were iraeiously extending the hospi
talities of their ship, that the guests.
animated by the desire to have an.
to hold something that belonged to a
real kin. were coyly removing his
b. Iongings.
Like Little Boy in Swimming.
While playing the host so gracious
ly. he could not guess that he was
soon to he in the plig,ht of the little
boy who goes in swimming and leaves
his clothes in charge of some practi
cal joker.
When the royal visitor attempted
to dress himself the next morning he
realized little by little the extent of
his loss. Italian expletives rent the
air, while the duke's officers and ser
vants were scurrying about the ship
on a wild hunt for combs, brushes,
needles, thread, pins and buttons. In
the meantime, his royal highness was I
left like Moses when the lights went.
out.
Rlough and ready sailorian that he
is, good sportsman and gallant ex
plorer. the duke has not yet aceus
tomed himself to (1o without all thel
ordinary conveniences of civilization,
and his helplessness in the face of
this emergency would have touched
any heart but that of a souvenir col
lector.
Every Garment Buttonless.
Of what use is a wardrobe as exten
sive as Solomon's if almost every
garment in it is buttonless? How can
one complete his toilet without the
usual toilet implements? Every fresh
diseovery of loss was the occasion of
a renewed out.burst of ''eussin' ' on
the part of tle dutke 's followers, and
it is rumored that the royal captain
himself joined in the chorus with trui
lV royal zeal.

Charlotte Observer.
Abril 26t:h, 1407, three hundred
years ago, three tiny English ships,
the ''Discovery,'' the ''Godspeed''
and the ''Susan Cosat,'cm
rianded by Captain Christopher New
1port and( bearing one hundred sturdy
Englishmen, sailed into the entrance
of what is now Chesapeako bay,
''which seemed to invite his on
trance," passed up the broad river
that lay before them, and debarked
on a little peninsula thirty miles from
its mouth. The- first land that greet
ed them in the broad harbor, they
called Point Comfort; the river they
named James, in. honor of their King,
and the little peninsula furnished
them a haven after the tempestuous
voyage of ever three months they
christened Jamestown. Before reach
ing the point of dobatkation tradition
says the foremost ship bearing the
commander of the exposition, touch
ed at a point of land jutting out i.nto
the roads at the mouth of the James,
and the commander went ashore there
and offered prayers to God for tile
safe ending of their voyage. T.his

urm more than any other the fate of

Ipeditions from England brought
