WILL FLY, FLOAT OR DIVE.
Said to Have Invented an Aerial,
Submarine and Sail
ing Ship.

J. F. Brady, Chicago capitalist, is
said TO have perfected a combination
flying, submarine and sailing ship. 1t
will be propelled by the new force,
liquid air. The story is guarded by Mr..
Brady, but the secret was recently
learned by DR.. Cunningham, promi-
nent dentist of st. Louis, who had busi-
ness relations with him.
The inventor learned that Cunning
ham was a scientist and grew conf
Dental and showed him charts and
drawings which he said were the COM
plete plans just returned to him from
Edison's laboratory at Orange, n. Y.
The model, he said, was built by Edison
and proved a perfect success. In fact,
Brady says that Edison wrote him that
1t was the most successful machine OF
Its kind ever got up. In support of his
statement, DIR. Cunningham says, Brady
exhibited letters which were signed by
Edison and bore out his story.

GIVES HIS ALL TO POOR.
MIR. How Thinks He Has No Right
to Money He Has Not
Earned.

j. Eads How, of st. Louis, a nephew
of the late James b. Eads, the engineer,
is wealthy in his own right, but believes
that he has no right to money not
earned by his own hands. Much of his
property is in the form of real estate,
which is so tied up that he cannot dis
pose of it, but he at times comes into
possession of ready cash. This was the
case the other day, when he received
$4,000. He went at once to the mayors
office at the city hall and asked him to
take charge of it and expend it for the
poor of the city.
The mayor could not undertake to be-
come the trustee, so he turned the
young man over to the health commits
sioner, who suggested that the money
be given to the fund for the erection of
the new city hospital, as being the best
way to reach the greatest number of
poor Mr.. How was more in favor of di-
rect relief to the poor, but promised to
consider the proposition.
Mr.. How has long been an earnest
worker among the poor. He is an ar
dent social reformer and lives himself
among the poorer classes, especially
among the foreigners, whom he en-
deavors to help both morally and phys
ically.

DUG UP IN EGYPT.
Two Remarkable statues Discovered
on Upper Nile-One Is an Ala
baster God.

Two of the most remarkable statues
ever found were recently unearthed by
NJ. Georges Legrain, a French Egyp-
tologist, from the ruins OF the temple
at Karnak, on the Upper Nile. One of
these is an alabaster and represents the
great Theban god Ammon.
This alabaster god is IS feet high,
and was originally made from one solid
block of stone, the largest alabaster
statue in the world. 1t was found in
three pieces, which were easily put to-
gether The artistic finish is perfect.
The second statue is one that was set
up by King Usertesen |. in honor of his
father back in the days of Abraham.
On the lap of this efiigy is a slab upon
which. are carved inscriptions proving
the works antiquity.
Accompanying NJ. Legrain when he
made the discovery was Charles y.
Crewdson. corresponding secretary of
the Chicago Society of Egyptian Re-
search, who is touring Egypt in the in
terest of the society he represents and
photographing Egypt in colors for the
international Color Photo company.

WON The MEDAL HIMSELF.
Waukegan's Mayor Is a Married
Bachelor with Twins and
Record.

DIR. William w. Pearce, the young
mayor of Waukegan, ILL.,, is being over
whelmed with honors.
The news that he was the first mar
ried member of the Waukegan Bache-
lors' club to become the father of twins,
and as such won the $50 gold medal of
fered by himself, was recently heralded
abroad. The twins appear to be bear
ers of good luck, for again he has been
chosen mayor, although by the narrow
margin of Is votes.
The Bachelors club, too, of which he
was the first president, hastens to do
him renewed honor. His official and
fatherly accomplishments seemed to
entitle him to further exhibition of
their esteem. So, at their annual meet
ing, Mayor Pearce was once again elect
ed president of the club, even if it does
openly and flagrantly violate the by
law prohibiting a married member fill
ing that office.
In accepting the honor President
Pearce stated that his $50 gold medal
for twins would still remain up, and
that, further, he would offer SIS medal
90 any fellow member who could beat
the new presidents record.

MINISTER MAKES AN ARREST.
stops Divine Service and Secures
Two Men Wanted for
Robbery.

a new departure has been added to
the ordinary avocations of the local
minister in the little town of Spanish
burg, Va. In addition to being most
devout and energetic propounder of
the Gospel, the local minister is also a
deputy sheriff, and in both callings he
is recognized as one of the most vigor-
Gus in all the mountain districts. The
other evening while holding the regu-
lar semiweekly service, two broad
backed mountaineers strolled into the
temple of worship 10 get the word"
The minister had just begun to read
the first hymn when his keen eye
caught sight of the two curious but i'm
prudent mountaineers. In flash the
opened hymn book was closed and
hastily laid upon the railing of the pull
pit. a second later the man of God was
moving rapidly toward the Innocent
looking men of the mountains holding
in his hand a full-coeked revolver
In a trice both were firmly coupled
together with a pair of strong, heavy
iron handouts. Then, coolly and very
distinctly, the minister read to his pris-
oners warrants charging them with
robbery Finishing, he escorted his
captives TO a seat near the pulpit and.
laying his revolver in an easy-reaching
distance, finished the hymn and the
evening service. He then escorted his
prisoners to Jail, where they are now
awaiting a hearing.

CENTENARIAN'S TRIP ON FOOT

Mr.. Diamond says that he has faith

Due I'm some Gases tn bankers Fall
ing Ia Send I'm Large Bills ina Ex-
change f1r Small Ones.

United States Treasurer Ellis ii. Rob-
erts, who is on a business trip to New
York city, in talking of the scarcity of
bills of small denominations through
out the country, said: This lack of
small bills is due in some parts of the
country TO the fact that the bankers
don't take the trouble to send in their
bills of large denominations and get
some ones in exchange. This is the case
nearly everywhere except in the larger
cities of the east and in the northwest
ern states.
in the northwest there has been
such wave of prosperity during the
last two years that the bankers and
merchants have had no occasion to send
their money east, as they did in pre-
vious years. They are rich enough TO
keep their money at home.
"There was lack of small bills in
New York city up to few months ago,
but now the bankers, merchants and
business men of every kind have all the
small bills they want. They have got
them by sending on their larger bills.
The revenue stamps on checks have
probably had something to do with
bringing into more general use the
smaller bills.
THE reason we cannot issue the
smaller bills as fast as the bankers want
them is because we are restricted by
law. The law allows us TO issue only
S346, ZOO, COO in United States notes, and
the silver certificates are restricted by
the number of standard dollars held in
the treasury. We are now printing only
small bills, and have big supply on
hand, but cannot issue them because of
the restrictions / have mentioned. So
the only recourse for the banks that
want small bills is TO send in large bills
in exchange for them. In the ten sub
treasures throughout the country
there is now $242, 100000 in gold, but
only $1s,000,000 in paper. We are send
ing out paper money in bills of small
denominations now at the rate of about
$3,000,000 a week. But good part of
this is sent out in place of old and mu-
tilated bills. Although there is a
shortage of small bills in circulation,
the treasury was never richer in funds
than it is at the present time"

Rag-Time Music Has Got to Give
Place to Something Else.
This Popular style OF Melody Has
Run Its Course - Now for
Season of sentimental
Ballads.

"Rag-time music" said the man who
stands behind the counter in Wabash
avenue shop in Chicago and ladies out
harmony by the cord all day long, rag
time music is about played out. 1t has
had its day. Last fall and winter and
the fall and winter before that our
very best people were telling each other
to take their clothes and 60 or announ-
cling that they didn't like no cheap
men. The formula for writing this sort
of stuff is: Two bars of overcoat music
and four barber shop chords. You never
heard of 'overcoat music" Well, you
will find often in theatrical journals
an advertisement which reads Want
ed-One heavy. Must be able TO double
with brass That means that he must
be able to mouth the lines of the ire
mepdous villain and take his part with
a tuba in the street parades.
"These fellows travel about the coun-
try in the winter time, they all wear
overcoats on their parades and the
music is iammed into the right side
pocket. 1t is of the simplest kind, of
course. You may depend upon it that
next winter a different class of songs
will catch the public. Sentimentals are
about due TO come to the front. We
have not had a Sweet Marie season in
some years. These things work in
cycles. One winter it is love and two
winters it is comics or niger singing.
OF course, anything that's got mother
in il goes all of the time. The first fell
low who comes along next September
with a moan about moonlight and dear
eyes and tender tones and bruised
heart is going to stack up like a pile
of blues mile high. Stuff concern
ing possums and razzers and he sut'nly
was good to me isn't wanted"
