Aeronaut c. G. Phelps. who is under
engagement at Rocky Point 70 do his
thrilling cannon parachute act. one OF
the most sensational and dangerous
performances of the age, showed yes
terday that he was a man of remarka-
BILE nerve, and the result was that he
had a narrow escape from death.
Mr.. Phelps was compelled to delay
his ascent owing to the extremely high
wind which was blowing on shore dur
ing the afternoon, and IL was deemed
advisable at one time to postpone the
dangerous exhibition.
To this, however, Mr.. Phelps would
not agree. for he realized that this
would not be satisfactory 10 either the
crowd or the emanagement. both expect
ing that a balloon ascension or some
sort would be given, and he made up
his mind that he would make an ascen-
sion and drop. either with or without
the cannon.
IL was shortly before o'clock when
he made. the first attempt. which was
evidently not satisfactory Tor the bal-
loon came down again, put the IN
trepld aeronaut meant business, and he
caused the balloon to be taken back TO
Its starting place. and once more the
hot air was allowed TO pour into 1t un-
til IL tugged and strained at the ropes.
1t was by this time dusk. and the
management did not deem II wise to
have MIR. Phelps attempt the cannon
act. but Phelps decided 10 do his tra-
pese parachute drop, and he was soon
soaring through the air, until the ball
loon was almost speck In the dis
tance.
1t then became evident that there
was difficulty in detaching the para
chute from the balloon, and the big
crowd at Rocky Point began 10 be-
come uneasy. for the balloon had been
carried by the high wind quite dis
tance over the bay. As II was seen that
Phelps was having some trouble. the
feeling changed TO one OF alarm.
The huge balloon began 10 sink
toward the water. and down and down
Il went. and still there was no evidence
that the man who was with " could
use the parachute. AT last the air
ship struck the waters far out from
shpre and everybody thought the nervy
artist was lost.

ber OF which works, and that for very
small wages.
''She was very glad TO get the ticket"
said the officer. "and wished me to
thank the News for her"
Out in Olneyville the reporter could
not see Capt. Leavitt of the sixth sta
tion. as he had gone to Manton. but
what he learned of Patrolman Whip
pie was of great interest.
TICKETS WELL PLACED.
II had 30 tickets said Mr.. whipple,
''and have given them all away but one,
in the annexed district.
I'm every case am satisfied that the
ticket is well-placed. for people out this
way are actually too poor to buy ice.
but there are many large families of
small children to whom ice is a great
boon"
officer Luby, according to Oficer
whipple. also disposed of all his tickets
and wants some more.
1t was suggested by two OF the OFF,
GERS that the News tell again how the
ice can be kept without an Ice box.
The best plan is to put a large piece
Of bagging. or blanket. folded double.
on the floor OF the cellar, or some other
cool place and place the ice upon 1t.
Next put the meat or Ash on the ice
and the can OF milk or saucer of butter
beside It.
Then wrap the whole up in the bag
ging. Or. IL bagging or a blanket is
not handy use newspapers or wrapping
paper.
The idea is. that while ice, TO be OF
value in keeping food must melt. 1t
must neither melt too quickly nor too
slowly. Furthermore 1t must be melt
ed by the warmth OF the food itself and
not by the heat OF the sun.
AS announced previously each Of
four stations will be visited by the ice
man every other day,
Monday. Wednesday and Friday OF
each week free ice will be given in
Randall and olneyville squares.
Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday
the ice man viii be corner of Eddy
and Manchester streets and corner of
Governor and wickenden streets.

work go on.
