UP ON A KITE.
THE EXPERIMENT AT LAST PROVES
A SUCCESS.
Lieutenant Wise Constructs a Man Hoist
ing Kite Which is to Take the
Balloons Place.

New York. Jan. 22.-Licut. Hugh ID.
Wise of the Ninth infantry. L. $. A.,
on Governors island. has just made
the first kite ascension ever success
fully attempted in America.
For six months the lieutenant en-
tirely on his own responsibility, has
been studying and experimenting with
kites as Il means of assisting armies
in warfare. The tandem system of
specially constructed kites is intended
to Supplant the use of balloons. which
cannot live in gales.
The iieutenant'S kites are cellular.
They consist of rectangular frames of
Speci. Cotton string and cotton
cloth in strips are stretched around
the ends of the frame, leaving both
ends of the rectangular frame work
open and also an open strip in the
center. Thus four lifting surfaces
and four guiding surfaces are present
ed the wind
When the breeze freShened TO 13
mile an hour gait the lieutenant was
safely hoistened IL feet. so that he
could see over the ewes of the officers
quarters and down the bay.
The force represented by the pulling
of the four kites is estimtcd at 400
pounds.
i've studied the systems Of Prof.
Langley, of the Smithsonian institute;
Prof Marvin. of the weather bureau,
and Irving Chanute. of Chicago, who
are making special experiments in
aerial lOcOmOtiOn with aerOplaneS,"
said Lieut. Wise. THE success of
my experiments demonstrate that
the kites are Serviceably in gales,
which would tear balloon to pieces,
where il desired to observe the sur
rounding country and inspect the ma
nOuvres of an enemy. | attribute my
success TO close following of the
methods of those who have studied
the subject rather than to my own
efforts
Captain y. y. Baden-POwell ascend
ed nearly one hundred feet in Eng
land, but he took a parachute with
him. Lawrence Hargrave was hoist
ed by kites 40 feet in Australia in
1895. There are only three instances
of aerOpIane ascensions on record.

oLEXOWn INVESTIGATIONS.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 22.-The Lex
ow" committee recently appointed by
the Missouri House of Representa-
tives has arrived here from Jefferson
City and will Immediately begin it's in
vestigations.
The Senate committee, appointed for
the same purpose, will arrive next
week. and in the meantime the grand
jury is carrying on a smelling bee of
it's own. over one hundred witnesses
have been before the grand jury, in
Guiding police officials and gamblers.
Those who are in a position to antic-
ipate the action of the jury think the
report to be returned to the Grim
inal court this week will contain a
complete exposure of the gambling
which the police neglected to suppress
and indictments against the proprie-
tors and many of the employees OF the
gambling houshes. It is certain that
the grand jury has secured evidence
to convict.

SCHAEFFER'S INJURIES.
THE GREAT BILLIARDIST WILL
HAVE TO RETIRE.
His Wrist Was Fractured and Wrongly
Set Which COmpels Him to Quit
His Favorite Game.

st. Louis. Jan. 22-ln all prObahiH-
ties Jacob Shaeffer, the expert billiard
list of America will soon have to re-
tire as Il professional. His wrist.
which was severely sprained by fall
from a street car in Chicago last win
ter, is the cause.
DIR. Heber hobart, IL specialist. has
made critical examination of Schef-
fers sprained wrist with the Y rays
and reveals a MANNED condition of the
bones and ligaments that surprised
the crack roller of the ivory balls As
a result, Schaeffer will attend his suit
against the street car company for
damages and ask for 100000 instead
of $4,000. Three negatives Were taken
of the wrist. The hand is set crooked
on the wrist, slanting downward to-
ward the radical side when lying in
Il natural position. The lunar was
fractured on the point. and small
piece OF the bone hangs on by very
slender attachment.
Another and more dangerous cOndi.
ton of affairs is the apparent union
of the radius and carpas. II this in
famatiOn continues il will unite the
radius and carpus bones, thus making
the wrist useless and then "Jake's'
championing days would be over.
II has been known for some time
that Schaeffer's recent form warrant
ed the belief that the wizard might
have gone back" 1t was supposed
by those who were close to the great
player that his injuries had affected
his playing more than he himself car
ed to acknowledge, although his form
in the three cornered tournament in
Central Music hall, Chicago, some
months ago gave hopes that he might
recover all Of that clevemess of the
stroke that made his name common
all over the world. He has played
we'll several times since the accident
that fractured the arm for second
time. but has not been called upon TO
do anything that required great tact
or endurance.

PORTO RICO REFORMS.

New York, Jan. 22-A special to the
Herald from San Juan. Porto Rico,
says:
Gen. ZombreS Marin. the governor
of Porto Rico, in an interview said
that he has not heard any rumor that
he is to so to Cuba to succeed Gen.
Weyler in command.
The governor general says the re-
forms granted to Porto Rico will be
put into operation just as soon as the
details arrive here from Spain. In the
meantime, he says, the number of
troops in the island is constantly va
rying according to requirements here
There is great curiosity and some
anxiety among all classes here to learn
the full details and particulars of the
new reforms. A prominent American
subject residing here now and own
ing large estates, said recently in
view of the rumOrS OF Gen. Marin be-
ing transferred to Cuba, that no more
able governor general had ever held
the Office in Porto Rico.

Founding" Cissy's rep. is the draw
ing card and where her excellence to

TO answer. There are vaudeville stars
in this city who can dance better than
she and as for expressive wink San

can do this better, but without the high
salary attached. Her support was
STACEY and seemed i'll at ease.

DON'T KNOW HIS MIND.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 22.-General Man
ager Dickinson, of the Union Pacific,
has returned from an extended trip
south since attending the Short Line
sale, visiting gulf ports and other
points of interest.
In reply to questions, Mr.. Dickinson
said he had not yet decided what
changes in division and in the location
of superintendent would be necessary
when the Short line left the system,
nor would it he settled until the segre-
CATION of the short line took place. He
knew nothing of the plans of the re.
organization committee and did not
expect to know much about the mat
ter, except what he learned from the
papers or what came directly under
his notice and his jurisdiction.

RECEIVING KANSAS CORN.

Georgetown. Tex, Jan. 22.-(Spe-
ciaD-Thirty car loads of Kansas corn
has been received here from October
LIST TO January LIST, averaging GOO bush
els per car. for which consumers paid
30 cents per bushel, and it is safe to
say that as much more will be brought
in before the next home crop natures.
The worst feature of this importa-
ton is that this high priced corn is
inferior to the home article. As a re-
suit of this the corn acreage in this
vicinity will be greatly increased and
cotton average reduced correspond
ingly.

EVIDENTLY SUICIDE.
YOUNG MAN FOUND DEAD IN A
LONELY SPOT.
Was Well Dressed and Had Bullet Hole
In His Read-No Glue as to
Identification.

Alton, ILL.,, Jan. ga farmer who
was looking for stock along the Missis-
sippi' a mile below this city came upon
the body of a man lying near the wa
ter's edge and reported the fact to the
police. The body was that of a young
man dressed in the height of fashion.
In the forehead just above the right
temple was the wound that told the
story of death from a bullet. Every
thing pointed to a deliberately planned
suicide. A smoldering fire of old
wood showed where the letters and
papers belonging to the dead man had
been carefully destroyed with the ev-
ident purpose of preventing identifi-
cation. A fine silk umbrella being
open on the bank showed on the hadle
of sterling silver where. 1.-the name and
address of the owner had carefully
been erased. A fine gold watch on the
body and pair of gold spectacles had
been similarly treated.
Despite all this caution, a memoran-
dunn book had been overlooked and this
gave a clew to the personality of the
dead. In the book was found the adj
dress of several New York business
houses, the Standard and Grand thea
aires, St. Louis, and the name of w.
]. Adams, Providence, r. 1.
The body is that of young man less
than thirty years of age, smooth sha-
ven, of medium height and stature,
with brown hair and eyes, the cloth
ing of the richest material and most
fashionable cut The body was brought
to this city and is held for identified
ton.
The opinoin of the coroner is that
the young man came up from St.Louis
on a late night train and sought this
lonely spot in which to die. There
was a considerable amount of money
on the body and the motive could not
possibly have been for robbery.
A telegram was sent to the police
authorities at Pro jidence, r. l., noti-
flying them of the finding of the body,
and asking them if w. ]. Adams of
that city was missing.
Two months ago young man nam
ed John Mccartney, OF Winchester ILL.,,
mysteriously disappeared here and the
possible connection of this with the
former case is limited at.

WATER COMPANY,s TROUBLE.

WATER COMPANY'S TROUBLE.
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 22.-The city of
Topeka has filed in the Supreme court
suit in quo warranto to forfeit the
franchise of the Topeka Water COM
pany, whose Indebtedness is more
than 81 100000. The Kansas law gov
erning corporations requires that ev-
cry company doing business in Kan,
sas must have headquarters here and
elect the directors in the state. II is
alleged that the Topeka Water COM
pany has not kept it's general office
in Kansas since 1890, when the Origl-
nal company sold out and the head
quarters were moved to Chicago. The
Water company has been sold under
mortgage and the new company re-
Gently was chartered in New Jersey.
and the city attorney alleges that the
corporation is further from the juriS-
diction of the state than ever before

CHILEs FINANCIAL SURPLUS.

New York. Jan. 22.-A special to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, says:
Vice Admiral MOntt, formerly presi-
dent of Chile. has left this city for
New York. There was a grand mill
tary and civic demonstration in his
honor.
The report of the minister of finance
for the year just past shows a sur
plus on hand over the amount esti-
mated in the budget Of 1.295,754 pc
SOS. This leaves n surplus balance
of 100000 pesos.
The separation of the powerful Bal
amaceda party from the others of the
Liberal opposing parties has been con-
summated. This practically insures
the stability of the government
against the attacks of radicals, loose
Liberal and Democrats.

WANTED To DIE.
AND HIS LOVING" DAUGHTER AL
LOWED HIN TO DO 1T.
An Old Man Takes Poison and Tells His
Daughter About it But She Does
Nothing For Him.

Oakland, Cal, Jan. 22.-knOwing
that her aged father had took poison
with suicidal intent, Nellie Curran, 23
years of age, went to bed without call
ing doctor and arose in the morn
ing mt the usual hour to find the old
man cold in death. Thomas Curran
was 81 years of age and has for years
been employed by n railway compa-
ny. His daughter, Nellie, kept house
for him. For the past few months,
the old gentleman had been in poor
health and about three weeks ago
took n large quantity of laudanum
to end his troubles.
Physicians saved his life on the oc-
caSiOn. but his desire to end his life
evidently never left him and his last
attempt proved a successful one.
Curran came home at the usual hour
and after taking the contents of 4 bot
tie of chlorOfOrm, which he had Sc
cured during the day, babe his daugh-
ter good bye and told her his trOub-
les would soon end. His lifeless body
was found in the morning and remov-
ed to the mOrgue.
This is n peculiar case" said Coro-
ner Baldwin. This old mans daugh-
ter told my deputy when he visited
the house that she knew her father
had taken poison, but did not call a
physician because she thought it was
too late. and then. her father wanted
to die anyhow"
The young woman will be given n
chance to tell her story to cOrOner's
jury.
