A Boston Machine VIII so've tho Prob
lem, 1t Is Claimed.
News comes from Boston that. under
the auspices OF the Erial Exhibition
Association, a steel air-ship is about to
be constructed upon the vacuum prin-
ciple, The ship is to be constructed
entirely OF thin plates OF the greatest
possible tensile strength. and ulor-
oughly braced inside by new devel-
opment in science mechanics" to resist
the pressure OF the atmosphere when q
partial vacuum is obtained. The pro-
moters OF the enterprise expect their
machine to lift two hundred passen-
gers and fifty tons OF mail or other
matter. to say nothing Of oil the ma
chinery and apparatus, with electrical
power sufficient to give speed to the
ship Of at least seventy miles an hour
During the earlier trips no interme-
1iate or steerage passengers will be
taken. The cost is estimated at two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
and a National subscription Is to be
opened for the purpose OF secur-
ing the necessary funds. DIR. De
Bossuet. the inventor. is said
to claim that his plans have
had the approval of 1.-THE most emf
nent scientific and engineering experts
In the country" There is no doubt
that aerial navigation will sooner or
later become an accomplished fact. but
1t is very much open to question
whether either the automobile balloon
or the vacuum she'll will be the sue
cessful nir-ship of the future, but
rather, SO far as we can judge at pres
emit, a SO f-sustaining machine, or q
motor driven by electricity, derived
from the surface or the earth. 1t
seems as II inventors never would be
convinced Of the futility OF the dirigible
balloon, OF which the unfortunate
termination OF the Campbell venture
has Just afforded another example.
They are misled by the ease with
which the machine can be handled In
a dead calm. and will not realize that

The Closing Days of Two Exciting
Campaigns.

campaigns
CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 30.-While
Gov. Foraker is laid up with real or
fancied illness at the gubernatorial
mansion at Columbus, Hon. James
E. Campbell, the Democratic candi-
date for governor, is making two or
three telling speeches day In differ
ent parts Of the State. His inspiring
canvass 10 being felt all over the
State, and If party enthusiasm and
monster meetings are any indication
of the final result, the Democrats
will carry the day overwhelmingly.
Campbell has q wonderful amount
of personal magnetism, and his eff
forts will result in getting out the
Democratic vote to man. On the
other hand, the Republicans are APP
athletic, and It is doubtful If the most
persistent drumming of Foraker, and
his friends will succeed In getting
out more than 80 per cent of the Re-
publican vote, and II they do not the
day is lost. Foraker and his bench
men will, on,HWedneSday ! next, be
carted to the Republican graveyard.
His persisting in running for third
term islhurting him among members
of his own party and he has a heavy
load to carry in the Ubiquitous boards
he has appointed In this city aud
elsewhere. Peter Schwab. an influ.
ential Democrat and personal friend
of James e. Campbell, confidently
predicts that Campbell will carry
this county by 10000 and that he
will win with hands down in the
State. Republicans, while they still
claim everything, manifest a hest
fancy to cover Democratic money,
which Is being freely offered on even
terms on the general result. This
speaks louder than words.
MAHoNE's CORFU PTIoN FUND
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 30.-Acting
Chairman Barbour left here to day
for Alexandria. He sai6 before leav-
ing that while the Democrats are
perfectly confident of showing Ma
hone under In this contest, they are
taking nothing for granted. Every
point Of attack Is being closely
watched, in order to prevent Malone
from springing any new tricks upon
them. The Democrats have thus far
been able 10 anticipate all Of The
moves OF the opposition, and in most
cases to checkmate them. With the
loss of 1900 or 10000 votes by the
purging of the registration list, Ma
hone Is at loss how to catch up. He
is reported to be bending every effort
to increase his strength In the coun-
ties bordering on Tennessee and Ken
lucky. The Democrats, though, have
long since discounted this work. Ex-
Attorney General Ayers and ex-Con-
gressman Richmond, both of Scott
County, are out there looking after
the interests of the Democrats. Re-

sent that Malone 10 placing large
sums Of money in that locality for the
purpose Of buying votes. The closing
days of this and the early days Of
next week will be lively for both sides
1t will keep the Democratic workers
busy to watch Mahone's meroenary
henchmen in the various districts.
The events of the past few days,
though, have greatly disheartened all
of the Republican manipulators. With
certain defeat staring them In the
face, Mahone's tricksters are not anx-
ious TO take any risks.

THE TENNIS TY.c..u

A Decided Gain to Society In the New
World ms Well as the Old.
The professional lawn-tennis player,
male and female. Is also another gain
to society. We apologize most hum
bly, for the designation, for we are we'll
aware that (happily) there are no
professional" lawn-tennis players In
this country. But the game has now
become the serious occupation OF so
many young men and women Of leisure
that 1t is difficult not to regard 1t as a
distinct calling. The player OF the
highest grade is sad and earnest per-
son whose whole life is spent in trying
to get Fifteen better" than any body
else; and when he or she at length at
tains that exalted position, sleepless
nights and laborous days are spent in
the effort TO maintain it. Those
innocent persons who look
upon lawn tennis merely as
pleasant pastime would be
met by a smile Of contemptuous pity
from a crack player. Morning, noon
and night, all the year round, the stars
do nothing but practice the game In
the summer they move about from one
tournament TO another, winning all the
best prizes, and when autumn comes
they fly to Cannes, Nice or Algiers to
pursue their favorite occupation. In
the case OF ladies such devotion is tho
more praiseworthy, because OF the real
sacrifices 1t entails. The lady-player
who really means business has to let
her appearance go. She must play.
hail, rain or shine. her face burned In
the sun and freckled in the wind, while
all feminine prettiness OF apparel is
sacrificed to the stout, serviceable gar
ments, heelless shoes and plain hats,
which alone are uitable. A futter Of
ribbons and faces about her. tight
shoes, or hat perched insecurity on
her head would put her of her
stroke" altogether. OF course, there
are some who contrive to combine play
with prottiness, but they are in the
minOritya--All the Year Round.

CHILD MARRIAGES. IN INDIA.
Girls OF y Years Sold TO NotoriousIy
TYrannIcaI Men Of 90.


Lord Cross, Secretary Of State for
India, has Just formulated reply TO
Ragunatha Rao respecting child mar
rage in India, which, In effect, states
that, notwithstanding there Is distinct
growth of public feeling in India
against the system Of child marriage, IL
Is not yet strong enough TO enable the
British Government TO take any lcgisla.
tive action
Ragunatha Rao, who Is distin,
guishcd Hindoo, recently called upon
the British Government to put down
the system, rs IL has put down slavery
and other evils. He says: "a father
permitted with impunity TO sell In
marriage an infant daughter Of years
TO man of AZ, already rendered noto-
rious by his marital tyranny. The child
wife Is then separated from the com
panionship Of her own sex, and Is so
prosecuted and terrorized that, child as
she Is, she Is driven TO attempt suicide
rather than continue 10 submit herself
any longer TO the caprlcious tyranny
and odious intimacy of her so. called
husband. And yet the British magis-
trate is compelled to state In open court
that he has no power TO restrain revolt
ing oppression of this character, as II
is justified by law"
The protest Is made apropos Of the re.
cent charge against Holkar' son.in law.
The case Of Rukmabal, who Is now In
England, shows another phase of the
same evil, IL has been pointed out TO
Rao that there Is no reason to despair
of o change in the Indian customs, for
In Great Britain two centuries ago the
age 10 which children were married
would now be regarded as scandal.
Mary, countess Of Buccleuch, married
at the age of II. The affair caused a
commotion, and the young lady was
placed under the charge of General
Monk and his wife until the Commits
s~y Court passed judgment, which
they did by multiplying the marriage on
the ground that the Scotch law fixed
the marriageable age at IL for girls and
10 for boys.
Several even stranger instances Of
child marriage In Lancashire and
Cheshire are cited. The daughter Of
that grave and reverend prelate, Bishop
Chaterton, was SO young when married
| that at the ceremony she had to be
held up at the altar The remembrance
that such an incident was possible in
| Good Queen Bess golden days may
make Rao hope that forces now ut
| work will before long put an end TO
| child.marriage In India, and to all the
| cruelty which the system involves.
