Each Of them was offered nomination on

AER0NAUTs AWFUL FALL.
4 Performer at W~as4sfngton Park
slipped From Parachute bar.

WOODBURY. July 20. 1ssS.-Wm. Ste
vens. known as Charles Raymond. an
a%eronaut, was seriously and perhaps IA
tally injured yesterday afternoon at
Washington Park ~ falling from a para
chute as It was nearing the ground. after
making a successful ascension.
The balloon in which the young man
made the ascension was filed with hot
air, and in the presence Of several thou
sand people it arose from the ground
with the daring performer on the ira
peze bar attached TO the parachute. The
rope which was attached to the bad
loon was cut, and the aeronaut began
to descend gracefully. at the same time
performing on the bar. When he was
about seventy-fiye feet from the ground
he removed a rope that was attached to
one of mis- legs to prepare for a landing.
and IN the attempt to place rhe rope
on the bar at about forty feet from
the ground his hand slipped from the
piece of wood. and he fell.
He was unable to arise and a phy-
sician was summoned. who announced
that the aeronaut was badly injured. He
was placed on a special trolley car. and
with all speed possible he was hurried
to the Cooper Hospital, Camden. where it
was found that he had received a frac-
cure of nhe thigh. injuries on the head.
a sprairSed ankle and Internal injuries.
The surgeons feared that there was a
fracture Of the skull, as there was d
constant flow of blood from the nose and
cars, and he was in a semi-conatose
state. Last fall the young man fell and
was badly injured by the bursting of his
balloon, at the South Jersey Far grounds.

Mrs. Brice Collard is making orange

summer for a two weeks trip. They Will
start on the -twenty-fourth of July. The
majority Of the boys and girls the children
of the menpers Of the St. Andrews
Working Mems Association and some are
members of the Bergen Mission singing
school which Mrs. Collard has taught for
seventeen years. Last yea the children
were sent to Chapel Hill and some Of the
letters received bs the parents were pub

what interests the majority of the children
and what they most frequently speak of
In their letters is that they nave such a
lot to eat About a week d g thousand
mothers and children went en- a days ex-
eursion on a barge and had a glorious
time. Gingerbread and milk went like
water and everyone was happy.
The children who are to go next week are
anticipating a happy time. They will all
meet Mrs. Colisrd on the Heights and will
be taken in a special car to the ferry
and then TO the boat and train which takes
them away. There is always a great
deal Of fun on this journey to the boat
ard Mrs. Collard and her helpers enjoy it
quite as much as the youngsters.

the subject Of many anxietfes, was wheun-
er anything should be done while the
war lasted. Timorous politicians were
for delay; but the deliberate conviction
OF the great Wing leaders was that
something must be hazarded. or that
everything was lost.
Those politicians whose voice was for
