an electrician. tells an air ship story which
some believe and others credit to a fertile
Imagination Heron Is the patentee of an
electric platinum apparatus. Tie says he
went to San Francisco last Thursday by ap-
pointment to see the inventor of the air ship
apparatus, whose name he Gays he is pledged
to conceal. Heron adds:
1--WE went on horseback to a point on the
sandy beach where the air ship was. We
got aboard and rose very high. The height
was registered by meter on the ship. The
inventor does not count distance by miles
but by degrees We travelled westward and
before daybreak we saw lights which> the
inventor said were Honolulu lights. We
then turned east and at dusk on Saturday
evening we finished our two days cruise and
landed near the starting point The air ship
rose by means of two propellors. The move
ment was nolseless and swift. 1t can be
stopped and held stationary in the air and
descends as lightly as a feather. The motive
power is neither steam nor electricity"

PITTSBURG, Dec. 2.-After celebrating
over the matter for full year, the board Of
trustees of the Carnegie library here de
cided that hereafter the citizens cf Pitts
burg shall have Sunday concerts in the
music hall. This decision was arrived at
after several lengthy petitions for and
against the movement had been presented
and considered.
Rev. DIR. d. l.. McCreary, who represented
the union of evangelical ministers, opposed
Sunday concerts on the ground that the plan
was an entering wedge destroying the sane
tity of the American Sunday. and that IL
would furnish a stepping-stone for further
ipfractions He also saw danger of the music
hall becoming a meeting place for young
couples desiring to carry on a clandestine
courtship. and had numerous other objec-
tions to make to the opening.
Notwithstanding these objections, the trus-
tees decided in favor of Sunday concerts,
and beginning with December 10, free con-
certs will be given in the music hall every
Sunday afternoon.
