Jubilation among the members of the var

Rave been scattered throughout the coun-

lis of New Jersey, is national superintend-
ent, and the legislature OF every state that
has held a session since the beginning
of the year has been pettioned to enact
laws imprsoning all drunkards from one
to two years as a measure of reform. The
keeleyites have made vigorous fight
against the idea, and have, so it is claim
cd, aroused public sentiment on the sub
ject to such a pitch that the department
OF legislation of the women's union has
decided to call in its petitions and allow
the issue to go by the board.

Several Poop saw Lights Moving
In the Air Above the City.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 26-The mys-
terious airship, according to the state.
ments OF many persons of good standing,
passed over this city again this evening
about o'clock. The lights of the ma
chine alone are alleged to have been seen,
but all of the parties VITO saw these from
different quarters agree as to the char
acter and course pursued by the supposed
airship.
Robert Shiels, an employe of the San
joe Art Emporium, was on San Carlos
street, near Eighth, in the company Of
two young ladies, when his attention was
called to the moving light by persons re-
siding in the neighborhood. Mr.. ShieIs
claims to have previously been skeptcal
in regard 10 the airship. but stated posi-
lively that he is now satisfied he saw the
lights of the machine.
He said he at first saw one light about
the size OF an ordinary arc electric lamp.
He stood still and watched the light
moving westerly. IT beaan to lower and
then two lights were visible. When it
arose again only one light could be seen.
. The mschine. he said, eventually took a
southerly course. again displaying two
lights which were visible for some time
and then disappeared in the distance.
George Breasted said he saw the light from
the Julian street road about three miles
from this city. His description of its size
and course agreed with that given by
Shieis.
S. s. Farley. proprietor of the Mayverne
Creamery, saw one large light movi e
raj idly westward. A turn south was made
when two lights were visible. Mr. Farl US
wife, Percy Sleeves and Miss Harris, who
are neighbors. were with him at the time
the supposed airship and substantiate his
statement.
Mrs. B. P. Young, who resides at 32S
East San Carlos street, stated that her at
tention was ca led to the supposed airship
by the son of Mrs. Parkinson, who resides
opposite, and who was sent to her house
to tell her the airship was passing over the
city. She went TO the door in company
with her daughter and a young lady. a
Normal student. and they saw the moving
light as stated. Each of these persons
is satisfied that the lights they saw were
attached to an airshlp.

Mr.. Hart, and he said that the charging
of the storage batteries might be matter
OF difficulty in the neighborhood of Ha-
vana. The destroyer would not dare to
go 100 near TO the Spanish Notifications,
as it is not bullet-proof. 1t might be diff
cult to secure electricity in the little tropi-
cal island. The battery might possibly be
charged on the deck of the steamer from
a dynamo run by the steamers engines,
but even that would be attended by great
risk considering the vigilance of The Span
ish cruisers.
Would not international complications
arise ou of an aerial warship leaving the
United States to destroy Spanish city in
Cuba2"
t'Oh, no. not at all. The parties could
go outside of the jurisdiction on a char
tered or purchased steamer and sign the
contract and make all of the arrange
ments necessary. No. the United States
would not become involved in any annoy
ance with Spain. At any rate, the in
ventor is ready to take the risk and send
an airship to Cuba for war purposes as
soon as the Junta is ready to talk busi-
ness"
While much of this conversation was
taking place Mr.. Hart was at the Chutes
showing his little boy the hot air balloon.
After the huge smoke-flled bag had shot
into the air. with the daring athlete
dangling to the end of the parachute
crossbar, and the excitement was over,
the attorney started for home. Just be-
fore entering the house he said: "You
can tell the public that in very short
time it W II have positive proof that the
airship is reality and not hoax. as.
sert this, although l have not vet seen
my clients airsaip. l am convinced that
it exists. for / know that the main obsta-
Gle, sufficient power, has been overcome,
