Reynolds had been engaged by the as
sembly authorities to make a balloon
and parachute jump. Reyn-
olds, who was 25 years of age, and had
a wife and child, is said to have been
inexperienced. He had made but one
ascension before yesterday, and had
never dropped with a parachute. Prep
arations we're made and at 4:30 yester-
day afternoon Reynolds, stripped for
the jump, appeared ready to ascend.
The wind was blowing in strong from
Lake Erie, eight miles north. The as
sembly grounds are on the northwest
shore Of the little lake. The wind
was certain to drive the balloon over
the lake. 1t promised to be a dan
gerous drop for a seasoned veteran, but
Reynolds, the novice, never faltered
An immense crowd was present
When the balloon had reached a
height which appeared to be fully 5000
feet in the air and directly over Find
lay lake it was seen that the unfor-
tunate young man had dropped with
The parachute He came down slowly.
The aeronaut's young wife shouted
that Reynolds could not swim, and
would drown. Boats we're quickly put
out. Reynolds struck the water where
the lake is 80 feet deep. He threw up
his hands and sank like a stone. The
nearest boat was yet 200 feet off.

Archbishop IreIand,s Views.

An interview with Archbishop Ire
land, who has just returned from a
six months European trip, published
in the New York Sun, is pregnant
with suggestions and observations
concerning the stability of national
government and the material progress
and welfare of the people as a whole.
Archbishop Ireland is to-day one of
the foremost prelates Of the Catholic
church in America and stands as the
peer of the greatest thinkers and
economists of the age. His notice OF
affairs secular may well be regarded
with concern and his remarks receive
respectful consideration from all
classes and all people. The reception
accorded him in foreign countries,
while not marked with universal una
nimity, has been sufficiently so to
show that his depth of thought, his
superior wisdom, his lucid exposition
of the problems which underlie hu-
manity's safety and the fundamental
principle of human progress, are rec
ognized by leaders in civilized coun-
tries and by them largely accepted.
In reference to the position occu-
pied by America in Europe he is
quoted as saying
SIN all these countries l noticed
on the part OF the government au-
thorities, and the people as well, a
strong desire to be upon good terms
with the United States. They appre-
ciate the importance of friendly rela-
tions with this country, but at the
same time their interest and the
desire for these reciprocal kindly
feelings appear to be wholly sincere
In France / received the assurance
OF the highest official authorities
which was confirmed by Ambassador
Porter, that the government was most
anxious to show its high regard fol
the United States and as matter o.
fact concerning the coming exposi
ton, more favor was shown the
United States than to any Other
nation, this country having received
an allotment of more than its due
proportion Of space. Commissions
Peck concurred IN this. M. Delcass'
told me that upon the occasion of th'
dedication of the Lafayette statue oI
July Of next year the French Gov
eminent would do everything in it
power to give welcome to Americans.
He sums it up by saying I'm brie
we deserve to be courted and they ar
counting US"
In regard to the Philippine disturb
ance he expresses the opinion tina
we should finish mp the bushes
promptly.
He throws a side light upon tn
Dreyfus affair which will be new t
Americans who have been regale
with stories one sided in characte
and gives a clear cut view Of Frenc
character when he says, touch tn
army and you touch the nation"
Archbishop Ireland's Americanisi
is established and his fealty and d.
votion to America cannot be que
toned. His expressions on affairs

The President and the Premier.

Hotel Champlain, n. Y, Aug. l.
The story in a New York morning
paper to the effect that there is a
possibility OF a meeting between Presi-
dent Mckinley and Sir Wilfred Lau-
rier, premier of Canada, at a point
near the Canada line to confer on the
Alaskan boundary dispute, is hardly
worth denying. The only possible ex-
cuse for the publication of such story
is the fact that Sir Wilfred Laurier is
expected to visit Hotel Champlain for
stay of a couple of weeks after the
Canadian parliament adjourns, which
will probably be in about one week.
If he should come here it is barely
possible that he and the president may
talk over the Alaskan boundary ques-
tion in an informal way, but that any
! formal conference will be held on that
subject is not true.

THE LATE KATE CHASE SPRAGUE.
lum days, when her father, Salmon P.
Chase, then a widower, was elected
governor of Ohio. Her remarkable
beauty and brilliant social qualities
made the executive mansion at Column
bus a scene of many brilliant enter
tainments. When Mr.. Chase was made
secretary of the treasury under Lin
coin, and the family removed here, his
daughter was soon acknowledged to
be one of the most beautiful women of
the capital, and her fathers home, over
which she presided, became the center
of the most fashionable and select
circles. With the outbreak of the war
she met the young and dashing gov
ernor of Rhode Island, William H.
Sprague. An engagement followed,
and the wedding is said to have been
the mCst brilliant ceremony which had
taken place in Washington up to that
date In the midst, however, of the
social and political success which they
had attained a domestic cloud made It's
appearance, resulting in a divorce.
Mrs. Sprague then made her home at
Edgewood a handsome country place
which had been left her by her father
Here she had resided ever since. FL
nancial reverses clouded her later
years, the handsome homestead was
mortgaged and disaster was impend-
ing when a year ago old friends came
to her rescue, raised the mortgage and
arranged for her an allowance of SO, ,00(

fore reaching Chicago Dotz married in
Milwaukee Maximiliana Sperl, a Chi

Caroline Schneider, both of Milwaukee.
Upon obtaining their money, the alle

he took to wife a woman worth $4,000.
She died suddenly, willing her prop
erty to Dotz then known as Fred Hob.
His next wife was a south side woman
possessed of $1,000. His arrest at this
point cut short his matrimonial ex-
periences. During the year he has
been in Bridewell the police have been
gathering evidence against him.
