Mr.. Chnnute's Experiments In Gliding
Few Hundred Feet with
Outstretched Wings.

Octav Chanute. trained civil engi-
neer, now over 60 years OF age and one
OF the leading American authorities
on aerial navigation, recounts in Ne
Clure's a series of experiments made
two or three years ago under his di-

Michigan. Ii will be remembered that
Otto Lilienthal, the Inflated German
who made number of tests with out
stretched wings, jumping from hill
tops or the roofs of houses. used only
a single pair of those supports during
the greater part of his career, but Mr..
Chanute tried the effect of building
his apparatus up TO height of five
stories. This he called a multiple

however, he decided that better re-
suits were obtained by using 1.-TWO

PINE ON RESERVATIONS.
Some History Applying to the Con-
test Now On I'm Congress.

Some History Applying to the Con-
test Now On i'm Congress-.
The outbreak last fall makes it import
ant that the general public take an in
terest in the Indians affairs. To begin
with, by the treaty of 1S47, Indians for a
small amount of goods, to be paid In
annual installments for five years, were
induced to give up several million acres
of what is now the finest land In Mime
sofa. BY several subsequent treaties the
Chippewa reservations were diminished to
their present proportions, and in each
case every art known was brought into
play to obtain the signatures Of the In
dams with as small a payment as posi-
bic. Promises were made to them that
the government agents knew they could
not fulfill, and even the payments prom
ised often remained unpaid.
In 1859 an act was passed giving the
Indians right to take allotments of ag-
ricultural lands in seyeralty and provid-
ing that all timber lands should be sold
on the basis of So per M for the pine that
was On the land. -
Through various inducements the In
clans We're persuaded to sign an agree
ment relinquisEing their right to all lands
Eexcept such as they received in allot-
iieiits, and the money for the pine lands
when sold was to so to the Indian funds.
This treaty, however, was never signed
by the Bear Indians, who headed the out
break last fall.
= In order to sell the pine lands covered
by the treaty, and instead of selling by
bank scale, as the lumbermen would, an
act was passed providing for large
corps Of estimators who should estimate
the amount Of pine on these lands, and
the lands should be sold at auction on
the basis of their estimate. Under that
act the pine has been estimated twice,
and is now undergoing third estimate,
the present one. no more satisfactory to
the Indians than the first, as many estf-
majors who were supposed to be eompe-
tent men had never seen pine forest
until after their appointment. Over $780,
600 have been thus expended in estimat-
ing, and the commissioner. Of the land
Office now asks for $4,000 more to COM
plete the estimate, which will be charged
back against the proceeds Of the pine
when Sold Several sales of pine on the
Red Lake reservation have taken place.
but so far the proceeds have not paid
the costs of estimating, and the cutting
Of the timber showed that the Indians
claims that the pine was underestimated
were true.
The timber on the Mile Laos reservation
was also sold, and an attempt made to
move the Indians to White Earth. This
caused much trouble, and came near re-
sulting in an outbreak then, and it also
caused dissatisfaction among the rest Of
the Indians

can afford to make money the chief end

ling aspiration, your stupendous energy,
your unquenchable industry, real force

way for brighter days, bluer skies, and

PURSUIT OF RICHES.
Grace's Address TO Men at
Y. NJ. C. A. Rooms.

Secretary Cruces Address to Men at
Y. NJ. C. A. Rooms.
Every seat in the auditorium of the
Y. M. C. A. was filed at the mems meet
ing yesterday afternoon, when Secretary
Grace delivered his second talk of a Sc
ries on fashionable Sins" He discussed
as Fashionable sin undue haste and
anxiety to get rich. It was absurd to
heap TRADE Of indiscriminate abuse on
men just because they were rich, because
many rich men were good men in spite
Of the special temptations which accom-
pany wealth. He discouraged young men
from centering their entire energies upon
getting rich. Wealth does not guarantee
the higher types of ability. Competitive
and wage systems did offer fabulous pre-
miuIns to young men who would throttle
their higher natures, and cultivate in
stead low smartness and cheap cunning,
but he took comfort in the fact that one
man who resisted the lust Of greed was
worth ten who succumbed to the swill
trough of personal, private accumulation.
Comparatively few Of the men whose
names adorn the pages of history aimed
their lives toward wealth, or accumulated
vast fortunes. Sometimes a great brain
and grand heart succumb to drink, but
that cold FLOODED shark who looks only
life is in some respects nearest the beast
of all humanity. Besides, for one time
the Bible warns a man against strong
drink, stealing, swearing or licentious-
ness, five times does it warn him against
that great temptation which 1t brands
a root of all evil.'' The struggle, too,
for mean material wealth is precarious,
and then, even if by chance or cunning,
wisdom or industry, great wealth Is Sc
cured, 1t frequently only tends to injure
the pure ring of sturdy character. AS a
man grows rich there is danger of GER
tain sense of license to give up little Of
the rightly of principle and the stability
of high moral rectitude. So what wonder
is it that today there are those Of us who
long to have the great patriotic heart
and statesmanlike brain Of America CEN
tered in the sublimest task of the ages,
namely, that of upbuilding such systems
of government, Jurisprudence and BUSH
ness as will make this land so near like
heaven that no mortal living under her
star-spangled banner can be excessively
rich or excessively poor. Directly or In
directly, greed has caused all crime, pow
erty, financial panics, bloody strikes and
labor troubles, political corruption, over
throw Of nations, and stands today the
great, black threatening cloud which men
aces our national honor and peace. Ev-
cry real statesman whose wisdom helped
to establish all that we are proud of
