discourse. He has been lately travelling
in New England, and tells us that tn,
doughnut is not what it once was; ir
fact, that it has departed and with it
'in It's integrity and unquestioned place
in daily life," has gone the Puritan re.
ligion. He essays to trace the relation
of this essentially New England Wand
to the old order. The essence of that
order was faith. Says Mr.. Warner:
You must believe in the doughnut
before you can make It. You must be-
lieve in the doughnut before you can
eat It. In my conception of this old
order. If your belief were right, 1t did
not matter much what you ate. Ever
present duty did not concern itself
with the body. That concerned the
spirit only. The relation OF
dyspepsia to the higher life was never
studied. . . The effect of diet upon
temperament, upon kindly feeling, upon
character. was not much considered.

any better than the old order that was

All this has been changed In the fight

new order little of wholesome cheer

Rousseau and enunciated in our Dec

Chicago: The heavy run of hogs here

cholera scare in Illinois and Iowa.
New York: For the larger part of last

AN AIRSHIP BURNS.
Is Ignited 5000 Feet Above the Earth
Occupants Killed.

Berlin, June 1.-THE celebrated aeron-
aut, DR.. Woelfert, who for two years
had been engaged in perfecting airships
and who last year, on the occasion of
the Berlin Industrial exposition, made
successful ascents, met with a frightful
fate this evening.
DR.. WoeIfert had been busily occupied
for the last two months on an imprOv-
ed airship which eliminated all of the
objectiona BILE points interfering with the
steering apparatus.
The aerOnaut announced that he
would make the first public ascent with
his invention this evening from the
TempelhOf common. The time for the
ascent was awaited with anxious eX-
pectancy by DR.. Woelfert's numerous
friends, and especially by the officers of
the aerOnautic division of the German
army. Hours before the ascent crowds
of sightseers had assembled on the
Tempelhof.
Woelfert entered the car first, follow
ed by his assistant, and, with a few
parting words to his friends, waved his
hands in adieu as the ropes were cut in
twain. What surprised those who stood
near enough to be able to hear him
were his words just as his car left terra
firma:
Either the ascent will be successful
or I will be corpse was what he
said
After the balloon had reached the
helSht OF about 5000 feet, it suddenly
stopped rising. In the same instant,
huge tongues of flame darted from all
sides of the airship, a loud explosion
was heard far and wide and a few Sec
Onds later the balloon seemed trans
formed into a flying mass of fire.
Burning pieces of the bag, which was
made entirely of net, fell among the
spectators. The car, which also was
ablaze, detached itself from the balloon
and descended with fearful rapidly to
the ground.
AS soon as it reached the earth, the
crowds rushed toward it. Both of the
occupants were found dead and their
bodies were horribly burned.
The cause of the fatality was found to
be an explosion of the benzine used in
the steering gear motor.

PASS TO THE DIES ERT.
California Capitalists to Build an
Electric Line Through a Noun
tain Canyon.

Los Angeles, Cal. June he. J.
Baldwin is working to secure the one
practical pass remaining in the Sierra
Madre mountains and the only way by
which a railroad from the north could
satisfactorily enter the country south
of the range.
A force of men is now engaged con-
structing a trail from the big Samantha
canyon over the territory that is ad-
jaeent to the northern end of the San
Gabriel canyon and thus make a pass
way over to the Mojave desert
The grade is being made one foot in
sixteen and can readily be made avail
able to accommodate a railway line. In
fact it is announced by one close to
Mr.. Baldwin that an electric road will
be built along the route of this trail.
The road will penetrate to the lake and
over through the pass to the NIOjave
desert, and presumably from there on
to Antelope valley. This move will
give Baldwin control of the only re-
naming pass to Los Angeles from the
north. The Southern Pacific has Sc
cured two, the SOledad and another

ward the east, is in the hands of the
