THE BALLOON CLUB OF PARIS
Organized to Promote Aerial Navigation
on Scientific Principles.

Organized to Promote Aerial Navigation
on Scientific Principles.
There is nothing visionary about
the Balloon club Of Paris, and, won
derfuI as are its plans, they are in per-
feet accord with the scientific prog
ress Of aerial navigation. The club
has a membership Of several hun
bred. Among these members are the
foremost ~balloonists of France, which
s the same as saying of the world.
Among them is Mallet, who built the
balloon that this country used in Cuba
during the recent war; Santos-Du-
mont, and other men equally well
known, In all, there are then ten
practical balloonists-that is, men
who own balloons and devote most
of their time to the study Of aero
nautics.
The club has had two general re-
unions" that is, what we would call
a balloon inject"
The first Of these was merely a
preliminary affair; but the second
on July IL, brought out Stout Paris"
and for the time the fashionable auto
mobile was obliged to take second
place. Six balloons went up, and the
prize was awarded to M. lie Comte de
la Vaulx, one Of the vice presidents
Of the club, as it was his balloon that
covered the set distance in the quick
est time. But if NJ. lie Comte de la
Vaulx won the Aero Club cup, M.
Santos umont won the admiration
of the scientific portion Of the on
lockers by the exhibition Of two Of
his ingenious contrivances. The tor
pedo-shaped balloon which the in
ventor has called "The America" did
not succeed in the race, but its prin-
ciple is, nevertheless, important, as it
has brought out the air propeller.
And after all the balloon experiments
it might as well be stated that it is
the opinion of many of the members
of the Aero club that it will be the
wing" movement, and not by the
balloon, that the eventual triumps Of
aerial navigation will be attained.
According to the laws under which
the club exists, it is necessary to in
form the police five days before the
occurrence of this reunion. All Of
the members are allowed within the
grounds, and the elite of Paris is en-.
titled to be present. There again you
have the Frenchman and an example
of his methods. Imagine an Ameri.
can inventor about to show to his
learned ~confreres some improvement
in his appliance, inviting the ladie.

A novel letter DeIiYern.


An unusual Incident happened on
a recent homeward voyage Of the Cas-
tie liner Catisbrooke Castle, from the
Cape. The English letters not hav-
ing arrived before the LismoreC Castle
sailed from Cape Town for home, the
captain Of the Carisbrooke Castle,
which was to sail the following day,
good naturally undertook to deliver
the letters to the disappointed pas
sengers OF the Lismore Castle on the
high seas. Overtaking her on the
ocean, the letters were ncIosed in a
tin box and soldered up. This was
then put into a -four barrel with a
pole attached, flying a red flag, and
having passed tie Eismore Castle and
got well ahead Of her, the barrel was
dropped overheard, the captain at
the same time hosting a signal which
had been p|rearranged. The Lismore
Castle coming up on her course in
due time, picked up the barrel, ant
So the passengers received their anz
iously waited news from home.

DeWolf Hopper

De Wolf Hopper would appear to be Il man of extraordinary luck. The one es- sential in comic opera for comedian to have is comedienne who can act and who possesses personal pulchratude. Della Fox came up to these requirements when she was with the Hopper company a few years ago. Hopper's latest find is Jessie Mackaye, a sprightly little actress, who made the most astonishing success in Lon don during the past winter. Miss Mackaye had had no previous success on which to build hopes of such triumph, but she had the figure, manner, and, best of all energy, to accomplish, so MT. Hopper gave her a chance. In coloquial parlance Miss Mack aye fairly knocked the English critics off their pins" by her piquancy and charm Staid old Punch said of her: "She's charged with the purest comedy like cleo tricity, and sparkles and crackles all over with 1t. She has dainty personality too, and, while distractingly kittenish, is as fresh as a daisy and full of a refined re- straint. clean briskness of manner and fascinating elan lend irresistible life and movement to every one of her scenes. ' Miss Mackaye will be seen here with Mir Hopper in "The Charlatan," with the en- tire London cast, at the Jefferson theatel next Wednesday,.

THE CUBAN CENSUS
Returns and Election Returns Ready
 For Publication

Washington, April 19.-The following ca blegram was received at the war depart ment today from General Wood at Ha- vana:
 Census returns and electorial law will be published late this afternoon. Election June 18th.
 The compilation of the Cuban census re- turns was made in Washington under the personal direction of General Sanger, who also is in charge of the Porto Rican cen sus. The figures were dispatched to Ha- vana by mail last Saturday The electoral law spoken of by General Wood was pre- pared by him and submitted to Secretary Root for approval during the recent visit of the latter to the island. The late set for the Cuban elections Is six weeks later than was originally contemplated, the postponement being made on account of the fmpossibility of proceeding without census figures as a basis. General Sanger will begin the publication of the various census bulletins next week, and hopes to be able to have the returns from Porto Rico complete by October next, in which case the erection there of municipal gov ernment by popular vote can be effected by next week.

THE RAINS BEGIN A STEADY DOWNPOUR Fresh Floods Add to the Rail-
 roads Trouble. MANY LINES UNDER WATER Near Enterprise, Miss, the M. S O. Track Is Entirely Under Water and Trains Cannot Be Run For
 Several Days

Mobile, Ala, April 19.-The rains have begun again in steady downpour all day and are very general throughout the south. The railroads are having great trouble. The Louisville and Nashville is doing all the through business out of New Orleans that usually goes over the Illinois Cen tral, and the New Orleans and Northeast ern. The same road took out two train loads of bananas today in Mobile and Ohio cars on account of that road. The full extent of damage on the Mobile and Ohio is not yet known.
 Near Enterprise. Miss, the track is en- tirely under water and nothing can be done until the flood subsidies. At Bucka- lunna, the track Is submerged from the iron bridge to the 6Sth mile post. All em- bankments are gone between Burrows trestle and the bridge, and the water is 12 inches above the track and rising. Buck alunna bridge was reported as yielding, but Superintendent Scale telegraphs that the current Is not strong and the back water will save it. It is not known now when trains will get through, but possibly not before Monday next if then. The loss is above $100,000 on tracks alone.
