Kseorted by troops of cavalry, mill- i tia companies and a torch light pro- i cession In which practically the whole i :own participated, the governor and i Mrs. Wilson motored through the i streets of Staunton to the home of ' i the Rev.' Dr. A. X. Frazer, pastor of the Presbyterian church where the ' Rev. Joseph R. Wilson, father of the president-elect, lived in 1856. With -Mr9. Wilson, the presidentelect paused for a minute on the Illuminated portico of the house and ^creeled Dr. Frazer.

"It's line to be ' back again," exclaimed tho pres^dente'ect," as he stepped Indoors. Suffering still from a cold, he re- J tired immediately to the room in which ho wus born to rest for the next day, when the chief program of the jubilee was carried out. Outside the crowds surged through the streots which were alive with color and flags and electrical displays. From far and wide, native children of Staunton had come to greet their fellow townsman. Kxcept for an iuformal visit a y<*ar ago, Mr. Wilson had not ; been there Bince he was three yoars I old. . - 1 S.taunton was not alone in celebrating the arrival In Virginia of the distinguished visitor. Bonfires biased the way, tire works shot across tho skies and red lights threw a festive glare at all stations along the route, though tho train glided by most of them without stopping. Mrs. Wilson stood with her husband on the rear platform of the train and enjoyed the demonstrations too. "This is the real presidentelect," said Gov. Wilson as he introduced her to the crowd at Alexandria. A great cheer followed. Senator Claude A. Swanson of < Virginia, Representative Oarlln and i Representative William A.

Bonator 8\vnneon explained this to the crowd at Culpepper ami Gov. Wilson raised bis hat to acknowledge the cheers. "Put your hat on." cautioned an aged Virginian on the fringe of the crowd. "Thank you very much." laughed the governor as he took the advice and leaned forward Instead, to shake hands with the crowd. "How does It feel to be back In , Virginia?" and "l^et mo touch the , tips of your fingers," "Hello. "Wooer , row," and a series of salutations were directed at tho president-elect as he bent from the platform of the train , and endeavored to greet as many of the crowd Individually as he could. The governor di<1 not respond to , any of the many cries for a speech. The crowds were good natured and did not Insist. "I must say they arc very generous in taking the thlng'a* ihey do," he said to National Chairman William K. McCombs, who stood beside him on the platform. It was at Manassas that the first of j the series of bonfire along the route cvraekled a welcome. The governor; peered from his stateroom at the tires along the way. "Is this the Fourth of July?" he queried as cannon roared and skyrockets gleamed at Orange. Another display of fireworks came at Gordon sv tile, but the biggest crowd of fell pressed around the train at.

"We had plenty to eat and drink on board the Turrialba." According to reports the Turrialba lies with propeller damaged, stern post cracked and rudder missing. With good weather the vessel will be saved, it is expected, though her cargo of bananas may have to be tossed overboard.
