y. J. Cooley, an inventor, of Hor-
n~ellsviIle, n. Y, says he has success
fully completed an airship which will
carry M person. 1t is about ten feet
in length, with two pairs of wings,
each pair having 4 spread of twelve
feet. Placed between the two pairs OF
wings is q large hollow box, on one
end of which the pilot-house for the
occupant will be built. The front pail
of wings is stationary. Mr. Cooley's
idea is that his machine will sail like q
hawk or an albatross that has been
thrown on the air. Having been once
stretched, it will skim along on a GER
tain plane, and may be either raised,
lowered or turned entirely around by
the movement of the rear pair of wind
heaters. y public demonstration of
the invention will soon be given, after
which it will be placed on exhibition
to raise money enough to build q larg-
er machine.

one. He pretended not to hear her.
She then said:
GOOD man, please give me one"
He still pretended to take no notice
of her. At last, goaded to despera-
ton, she pulled his coat and said, loud
enough for all the ear to overhear
her:
"Say, mister, if you will just give
me one of those bananas I'll give YOU
a kiss"
That was too much for the citizen to
stand. The whole car roared with
laughter, while he meekly pulled q
banana and gave it to her, but declin-
ed the child's offer.

If the convention is allowed to go by

tach to the State Central Committee
meeting Monday next. Here some
sharp talking may be indulged in. The
chairman of the State Central Com
mittee has a few scattering remarks
which are just now bothering him and
probably will relieve himself of
them at the first opportunity. 1t isno
violation of confidence to say that the
comfy heretofore existing between
Chairman Maffitt and Chairman Cook
of the State Executive Committee has
been damaged by the sharp clash be-
between these two individuals. Chair
man Maffitt thinks that Cook does not
remember past concessions in his
favor, and Mr.. Cook says that the
chairman of the State committee has
not treated him with the candor he
deserves.
In speaking of the attitude which
MIR. Cook had assumed, Chairman
Mafitt said to a Republic reporter: at
has certainly been in very poor taste
for Mr.. Cook to take such an active
part in the efforts to force the State
Committee to call a convention. l am
one of those Democrats who believe
that the majority should rule and for
that reason IcalIed the State Commit
tee when a majority of the counties SO
requested.
But Mr. Cook was not only a mem
Der of the State Committee, but we
had made him chairman of the Exec
utive Committee, and he was given
complete charge of the campaign. He
was paid 5000 4 month salary, and no
one pretended to question his dispo-
sition of the party funds. No member
of the committee criticised his man
agement of the campaign or sought to
interfere with him. Now, after that
same committee which puthim in con-
spicuous position acts upon a question,
he FORCES to the front with the avowed
purpose of forcing it to reconsider. 1t
would have been more becoming for a
member of the State Committee to
have kept out of the controversy al
