Their Utility Pointed Out Two Years
Ago by General Greedy.

Their Utility Pointed Out Two Years
Ago by General Greedy.
It is thoroughly characteristic Of the
bull-headed way in which our Con-
gress goes about things that after re-
fusing adequate appropriations for the
experiments General Greedy has wanted
to conduct for several years in the do
main Of military ballooning, its mem
bers should recently have been loudest
in their cries of inquiry why we were
wasting in naval scout work so much
valuable time which might have been
saved by the use Of balloons. Even
with a foreign war almost upon us only
about half the money needed by the
signal corps for its balloon work was
grudingly granted 1t out of fund
which had to be made to cover a great
deal more ground than it could posi-
bly, cover with satisfactory results.
However, beginning has been made,
and ere long we shall probably discov-
er just how much we have missed by
not having our limited aerial apparat-
us ready and our men trained in its
use.
Two years ago, especially, General
Greedy made a strong plea for sep
arate appropriation for balloon expert
ments. This country was the first to
use the captive balloon for military
purposes, about thirty-five years ago.
Since then European nations have
taken up the subject where we dropped
it, and turned our suggestion to good
account, while we have remained prac-
tically at a standstill in our own newly
opened field, just as we have been OUT
stripped by foreigners in another adap-
tation of science to the art of wharf.-the
use of the electric telegraph and signal
appliances on the battle-ground. I'm
proved methods of equipment, manipu-
lation and transportation, as General
Greedy showed in his argument, have
come with improved industrial and liz
ventive methods, but there have yet
been no experiments sufficiently COM
plete to prove the advisability of sub
stituting free balloons for the captive
balloons used by General Fritz John
Porter in the Civil war, either for ex-
tensive "Reminiscences or as instru-
ments of offensive warfare. The i'm
portant part to be played in war at
ooiile LuluiC IiiiiC Ny AiCC uliSloiS pe1i-
looms or by flying machines is not
doubted by men of as practical mind
as Mr.. Maxim, for instance, who has
written: when the first flying ma
chine succeeds. its first great use will
be for military purposes. 1t will at
once become an engine of war, not only
to reconnoitre the enemy's position, as
has been attempted by the so-called
dirigible balloons, but also TO carry and
drop into the enemy's lines and coun-
try large bombs charged with high ex-
plosives."

PRAYER BROKE THE DROUGHT.

The Supplication Was for "a Gully

ut was awfully dry in Georgia once"
had been no rain for weeks, and the
corn and cotton were burning up in
the fields. The creeks had begun to
dry up, and even springs that had new
err been known to fail gave signs that
their supply Of the aqueous fluid was
running low. 1t began to look as
though relief could never come from
the heavens. Day after day blazing
sun shone down from a cloudless sky,
blistering and whitening all vegetation
and expressing the hard working sons
and daughters Of the LAND with a fear
that distress would soon be their por-
tion--iistress that might take on star
vation's form.
About this time the religious people
of the county began to hold prayer
meetings to invoke assistance Of the
Deity. In every community the good
old farmers and their families assem-
bled to pray for rain. This was at an

mo, indeed: these We're the times of
simple faith and belief in the efficacy
of supplication to the Omnipotent. In
one neighborhood in the county of
Coweta, where the drought was par
ticularly severe, prayer meeting had
been called for certain day, and at
the time appointed a congregation of
several hundred sufferers met to beg
that the drought be broken. 1t CHANGED

Laudable Ambition of Miss Williams, q
Young Southern Lady.
Miss Kate l.. Williams, the young
southern artist of Atlanta, Ca, who is
exhibiting her work at the Evarts Cut
ler's fine art store on Chapel street, has

She has on exhibition at the present
time an oil painting entitled "A Jack
Tar" which represents an old weather
beaten sailor. The subject Is full OF
character, and life size. Then several
character sketches, portraying the
poses of southern darkies, which are
full Of life and expression.
1t is Miss Williams purpose to inter
est prominent and leading citizens In
her works. And to that end she has
placed the pictures on exhibition at
Cutters. Her devotion to her invalid
father, an ex-Confederate soldier, who
is paralyzed, led her to go before the
public in this oommendable way. Her
work is artistic and the pictures are
meeting with great favor. An oil
painting by her representing Rip Van
Wrinkle, was purchased by Bosom
gentleman, who is an art connoisseur.
The purposes of her pilgrimage not
less than the merits of her work COM
mend her to the good offices of all con-
cerned. Miss Williams while in New

And Send in Your Contributions to the
Fourth's Fund by Tomorrow.
To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
AS member of the general COM
mittee of the Fourth of July celebra-
ton will you kindly call the attention
of the citizens of New Haven to the
fact that in order to properly round
out the electrical display on the green,
especially for the evening of the 9Th
and 9th, at least $500 more than the
committee has in hand, (Which is about
$1,000, will be necessary Music for
for both Of these evenings will be
necessary and no fund is yet provided
for that purpose.
Many people when asked for ten
cents towards this fund refer to the
$1,000 appropriated by the city for cele-
brating the Fourth, saying that should
be sufficient.
Now all that money will be spent for
fireworks, for firing salutes, ringing of
church bells, building grand stands,
music for parade, printing, ETC., and
not one cent Of it is to be used toward
paying for the electrical display.
This is not the fault of the city gov
Fourth of July appropriation for $1,000
was made last fall long before the ma
ton thought of being at war.
But the last meeting of the general
committee will be held this week and
every detail must be completed then
or else given up.
To fix the matter in the minds Of
your readers let me suggest that Dew
ey Day for the fund be celebrated on
Tuesday, tomorrow, by dropping sub
scriptiens into the box at the corner
Of Church and Chapel streets in Mix

Tax Bookmakers.

The racing bill introduced into the
Maryland legislature is rather a curl
Gus affair 1t is not likely that it will
be taken seriously by Mr.. Noland' s
representatives even if it was
introduced with that view by the gen.
tIeman from Kent county. Mr.. Noland
contempIates taxing bookmakers two
dollars a day for license, and proposes
to have the bookies pay this tax to a
representative of the StSte Comptroller
in advance Inasmuch as boOkmakers
do not know when they start in at
meeting whether they will last one day
or thirty, the difficulties in the way of
taxing the layers of odds are apparent.
Mr.. Noland's bill says race tracks may
be licensed for thirty-day meetings in
all counties except Baltimore, where a
ninety-day license can be had. His bill
also provides that no license shall be
issued between November ] and April
10.
Should this bill become law it would
no doubt be mandatory on the part of
