Will Attempt to do the Bird Act With
a Flying Machine.
Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. 3.-wn-
liam B. Felts, who recently made the
statement that he would fly from the
summit of Pixies Peak to Cameron's
Cone and thence to Colorado Springs,
has made a thorough test of his flying
apparatus. The daring young man
had some doubt as to how the altitude
might affect the working of his wing
like mechanism and to satisfy himself
he took his aeroplanes to the summit
of the mountain for a trial.
The atmosphere was found to be of
sufficient brace to support Mr.. Felts'
body and he declares that on Sunday
he will be able to carry out his promise
to the letter.
The distance from Pixies Peak sum-
NIT to Colorado Springs is about 10
miles and the proposed trip is regard
ed as extremely hazardous.

THE WORLD DO MOVE,

william A Eddy's Latest Wireless
Telegraphic Invention.
New York, Aug. 3.--William A Ed
dy says that experiments in atmos-
pheric electricity for the purpose of
telegraphing without wires was begun
by him last July at Bayonne, N. j.,
with the two lines of kites supported
by two lines of copper wire, separated
by a distance of several hundred feet.
Marconi, of Italy, has announced that
the power to telegraph without wires
depends on the perpendicular projec-
ton of the wires at each station, and
that with separate wires projecting to
height of 100 feet he succeeded in
telegraphing without wire connection
to a distance of twelve miles. Mr. Ed
dy believes that with kite-supported
wires messages can be sent from New
York to Chicago by means of. three or
four intermediate kite stations, each
kite station having its wire projected
to a height of 1,500 or 1000. He SAYS
he has been defeated by light winds,
but that the experiment Of telegraph
ing without wires will be carried out
as soon as possible. He made repeat
ed attempts on Saturday last to carry
up a duplicate line of wires with the
lines of kites, but the wind subsidized
to a calm before the second line could
be established in the air. Marconi
heretofore has not used kites, but has
supported his perpendicular wire by
other means. Mr.. Eddy's object is to
vastly increase the distance tele-
graphed by extending Marconi's per-
pendicular wire to a great height and
substituting atmospheric electricity of
| tremendous tension for the artificial
! electricity OF a coil or oscillator.

derby Conduct.
Jim Brown was arrested last night
by Officer Shelburn in Ida Douglass
saloon on West Houston street for be-
ing drunk and disorderly and later in
the evening charge of suspicious
character was entered against him by
Detectives Shoaf and McCloskey, the
latter developing from the fact that
Brown had drawn a check for $25 on
a bank in which he had no money
which he gave to the Douglass wom-
an in payment for some drinks.
Mayor Callaghan this morning fined
him $40 in the disorderly case and
transferred the other case to the Jus
tice court where the detectives made
a more serious charge.

After a weeks absence the Bronchos
appeared at San Pedro park yesterday
afternoon to open a three-days' con-
fiict with the Panthers of Fort Worth.
There were a few people in the
stands.
But there was room for few more.
What excuse the absentees have for
allowing the Bronchos to appear be-
fore starvation crowds has not yet
been explained. 1t certainly cannot be
that the games are not as interesting
as formerly.
Impossible.
If anything, the games are now more
interesting and exciting from the fact
that the campaign is nearing an end.
More important still is the fact that
the teams are now playing faster ball
than in the beginning of the season.
The pitchers are in better shape-the
soreness is worked out of their arms.
The batting is fiercer, the fielding is
faster and the throwing is sharper.
Hot weather has a wonderful effect
on ball players, and now is the time
to see the game in it's element.
AS reported in YESTERDAYS Light
meeting was held in Austin to de-
termine whether or not the Senators
shall finish the season. Happy John ].
McCloskey was there at the time, and
through his efforts matters were ar
ranged to keep Austin in the league.
Notwithstanding the efforts of a lot of
fresh grandstandites to guy the Texas
baseball Napoleon, they have Jack Nc
Closkey-and no one else to thank for
all the pleasure they have ever derived
from the great National game in the
Lone Star state. McCloskey is un-
doubtedly the greatest hustler that
ever struck Texas.
The funeral of the late Pitcher Char
lie Carl took place this morning from
Sheern & Burnett's parlors. The re-
mains were escorted to their last rest
ing place by the members of the San
Antonio and Fort Worth baseball
teams, Umpire Ed. Clark, John c. Phe-
Ian, and other friends of deceased.
The pail bearers were Michael O'Con-
nor, Charles Bailey and Frank Her
bert, of the San Antonio team, and
Edward Pabst, Albert Mulkey and
Clarence Goodell, of the Fort Worth
team. The funeral expenses were de-
frayed by the members of the two
teams.
