takes air and begins to open. You
can readily see the difference.
No matter how many rehearsals he
may have had there are three periods
when a young aeronaut experiences
real fear-when his knees come to-
gather in spite of his exertions to
keep them apart and when his heart
seeks Judgement in his throat. The
first of these is the night before he is
to make his frst pablic ascension.
The second is when he hears the map
inside the balloon tell his companion
to put on the cover, meaning that the
bag is sufficiently infiAted. A mo.
ment later he is being jerked sky
ward. The other point of terror is
when he decides to cut loose and
begins to pick out a good place to
land. AS man sits there looking
up into the mouth Of the balloon forty
feet above him, then at the little lara,
chute, which may or may not work
all right. he begins to get cold, and
rs rule he cuts loose right then.
Otherwise he would not have the
nerve left to do it,
There is one curious feature of
halloening. After the aerenaut has
left the ground he never feels breeze
He can breathe all right, but the ar
seems dead. This is because he is
travelling along with the currant Of
air instead Of opposing it.

crowd then entertained themselves in
various wavs, and when the sun drop
ped behind the western hills thev
left satisfied, pleased as they had
never been.
Thursday. the third and largest
day. was indeed a day TO be long
remembered. By 1oa 10. the crowd
was larger than any former day, and
by II a. N. every train and boat had
arrived. bringing people from miles
and miles arouni Il is estimated
that on Thursday over three thousand
people attended the fair. The
amusements, racing aud attractions
were also greater on the third day of
the fair. Horses were here from
this State, Virginia, Maryland, OHIO,
and other places and the races we're
very tine and interesting. Gov. T.
VI. Holt delivered an address at 1
o'clock, which was listened to by a
large crowd Of hearers. Music was
grand. Three Bands were present,
E City band, Farmers Alliance. and
he Eienton Band.
A; about 4 80 o'clock in the pre-
Sence Of thousands of anxious spec
tators, Prof. Thompson again asoen-
led some three thousand feet ia the
air. and leape.i with parachute to the
ground. The day being clear and
bright and the sky as brilliant as a
5littering diamond every movement
made couli be easily seen, and the
calmness OF the wind made the as
.nsion just the finest thing ever
witnessed by the human eye.
FRIDAY was a closing day. The
attendance was small. the races were
mailer, and the exhbi went out as
rapidly as taev came. Thus the fair
closed.

The Edenton Fair was, decidedly,

large, and the attractions immense.
Tuesday, the first day, the gates
were thrown open at about 9 O'Clock.
and large crowds entered. At about
one hour later the Edenton Silver
Cornet Band entered. filing the Il ir
with swe ct musical echoes. to the iry
and delight of all present. In tie
afternoon races were announced,
which coDsuKed the balance of the
day.
Wednesday, the second day, WAS
one of the best and mostly enjoyed.
At very early hour the streets of
Dur town were filled with people
awaiting the beat of the dram and the
toot OF Cue horn. the very sound of
which caused speedy march to the
field of fun and pleasure. At II

kind there will not be lacking those
who are willing to risk both life and
limb in the attempt to rapidly ac-
cumulate the ''root of all evil"
This remark. by way of preface, is
inspired by the recent Edenton Fair,
upon which occasion, Prof. F. L.
Thompson, an Aeronaut, made two
balloon ascensions and parachute
leaps, which feature was one of the
principal one by many people who
had never before had the privile dge
Of witnessing such a spectacle.
Of late years aeronautism has be-
come quite popular with daring men
who seek fame and fortune. The
last decade has broaght out many
professionals who make business
Of taking trips to the clouds, and
they are not confined to the sterner
sex, either, for many of the most sue
cessful and famous aeronauts in this
country being females. Despite the
accompanying dangers, these pro-
fessioRals are becoming more num-
erous year by year.
An aeronaGt> must necessarily take
his life in his hands every time be

he waves farewell to the spectators
untill he again sets foot on terra

eatily loose his presence Of mind.
Tae aersaauts of the present day are
gifted with this quality in various
degrees, and the amount they pos
sess may generally be determined by
the manner in which they go about
the leap after the balloon has

thousand feet. For instance, the

WILL SEEK REDRESS.
The Alton Road Threatens It's Eastern Boy
GOtterS With Legal Proceedings.

CHICAGO, April 13-A new phase of the
controversy between the Alton and Eastern
lines on the commission question Is intro
duced in a circular that was issued to-day
by the passenger department OF the Alton
road. 1t is addressed TO all connections, and
contains all the correspondence on the sub
ject. An interesting feature is the copy of a
letter signed by General-SolicitOr Brown Of
the Alton, declaring that, in his opinion, a
number of railway companies have no legal
right to combine together and take con-
certed action TO interrupt the business of the
Alt on, as the penalty of its refusal to enter
into any contract with them. Such conf
binatinn amounts in law to cons spiracy.
He suggests that it will be well for the
management to notify each bUyeOtting line
of the purpose of the Alton 10 hold them
legally responsible for the consequences of
their action. General Passenger Agent
Charlton notified them accordingly that they
will be held responsible for any damage
which may result. 1t remains to be seen
what the Eastern roads have TO say to this
argument.
1t is rumored in railroad circles that the
Missouri Pacific will not be represented at
the meeting Of the Advisory Board Of the
Western Traffic Association tomorrow, as
Jay Gould is in the Southwest, and Vice
President Clark is in Oregon. If the meet
ing is ignored by the company 1t can mean
nothing else than the dissolution of the as
sociatlon at even an earlier date than was
generally predicted. The charges of rate
cutting recently made against the Missouri
Pacific were to be Investigated at the meet
ing.
MONTREAL. April 13.-The talk in fnan-
cial circles to-day was that loan had been
effected in London by the Canadian Pacific
of S21. 600 600 at per cent to the Minneapo-

A COMBINATION FORMED.
Concerted Efforts of spreckels and the Trust
to Prevent the Importation of Sugar.

Concerted Efforts of Spreckels and the Trust
to Prevent the Importation Of Sugar
NEW YORK, April 13.-Reports have been
current or some days ON the sugar market
that combination had been formed between
the sugar trust and all the Eastern refiners
and the Wholesale Grocers' Association TO
acquire complete control of the sugar trade.
1t is known that negotiations have been
pending between the independent retners,
the sugar trust and the wholesale dealers to
handle all the sugar refined in this country,
and boycott the refined sugars of foreign
countries. So far the deal has only resulted
in the association of retiners. 1t was stated
to-day that Claus Spreckels, L. {. Knight
Harrison and Frazer, and all the indepen-
dent sugar retintrs have entered INTO an
agreement with the trust to work In mar
mony with its managers, and produce only
their pro rata share of the entire produc-
ton, which will he limited to the sales made
in advance by Wholesale grocers.
One OF tile largest sugar dealers IN tue
city said in reference to the agreement:
"The refiners are now making proht Oh
only one-fifth of cent per pound on the
sugar handled by them. They are restricted
to. this profit because at hree-eghths OF a
cent per pound between the cost refined and
the selling price, foreign beet sugar Wonlu
come into the market in such quantities as
to prevent the placing OF the product OF
American refners. To-day kilograms were
received asking for quotations in German
beet sugar. and that article, favored as II is
by the high bounty TO the producer from the
German Govern ment, is loo ming up
promptly as menace to the reh nlng Dusl-
ness here. There will be no at tempt to
boycott it, however, but individual refiners
and the trust acting together will take
whatever steps they may deem necessary
to prevent it or any other foreign refined
sugar finding u market here"
