SUCCESSFUL AIRSHIP TRIAL.
Coun Won Zeppeisn's Invention
Proves TO lie a Remark
able One.

Count Won Zeppelen gave his airship
another trial the other afternoon at
Friedrichshnfen and achieved notable
success. After rising the airship re-
mained poised at n height OF GOO me era
for three-quarters OF an hour. 1t then
made series OF tacks and performed
sundry turning maneuvers, after which
1t was steered against the wind. 1t
finally headed toward Immenstadt,
where the inventor landed after trip
that lasted about an hour.
The king and queen OF Wurtemburg
witnessed the trial from the deck OF
a steamer.
The airship carried four persons be-
sides Count Zeppelen, When II rose the
wind was from the northeast, blowing
at velocity OF 3h yards per second.
When the nirship had attained height
OF 400 yards II described circle and
then drove with the wind in generally
circular direction for about six miles.
II then aguin described circle, after
which 1t made headway against the
wind, which was then blowing with in
creased velocity. Eventually the air
ship descended with great ease and
steadiness into the lake and was towod
TO shed.
The experiment was successful. Its
stability, equilibrium and steering
powers were excellent. II is generally
agreed that considerable progress has
been made since its first ascent.

Long and painstaking investigation
by the experts OF the United States

that il is to the Indian girl the world

Of her race.
A too general impression regarding
an Indian girl Of to-day is that she is
an uukempt. coarse appearing crea-
ture, with none Of the refinement char
actpristic Of the white woman and
general tendency toward degradation,
II has seemed to be almost impossible
TO divorce the Indian girl from the
idea obtained through familiarity
with the story book squaw of other
days or the impression given by the
basotted Indian women one sees loung-
ing about the stations of the rail
ways through New Mexico and Ari-
zona.
Ii is true that the majority Of In
diam girls have black hair and black

that there are many perfect blonds

envy them from the bottom OF her

ENJOYS A GOOD CIGAR.

Smokers seats.

Men who wish TO enjoy a smoke when
coming downtown after breakfast arc
often put out" by the feminine pa
irons OF the street cars who persist In
getting in the seats reserved for smok-
ers, even though the rest Of the car may
be empty. One sufferer from this pro-
pensity on the part OF the fair sex de-
clared the other day that the only
way TO cure them OF the habit was
to smoke them out, says the Chicago
Chronicle. The young man took his
place on one Of the seats, cigar in
mouth. At Loomis street young
woman and escort entered the car.
Many vacant seats were ahead, but She
calmly took seat beside the afore-
said smoker The escort cluug TO the
strap and chRtted In small talk. Here
is my chance thought the smoker.
Instantly thrre issued from his lips
enough smoke TO remind one OF the
power-house smokcstack. The move
ment of the ear blew 1t all In her face.
Looking up at her escort she said,
sweetly;

TEN GREATEST MEN.
The List IncIndes None But English
men nnd Americans of the
Nineteenth Century.

Who are the ten greatest men OF
the nineteenth century? This is
favorite conundrum just now across
the water, but we have seen only one
attempt to solve it in print An Eng
lish periodical names Abraham Lin
coin, the statesman: Grant the sol
der; Darwin, the scicnG-.; Thack-
cray, the novelist; Herbert Spencer.
the philosopher; Jenner "the most
commanding figure in incidence"
Froebel, the educator; Beethovel, the
musician; and Morse and Stephenson,
first masters OF electricity and steam.
II is easy TO imagine, says Youths
Companion, the frantic objections a
Frenchman - for instance would
raise TO a list which mentions not one
Of the masters Of art and life OF his
own nation. Noting that the list is
restricted 10 Englishmen and Amer
leans, men of the Anglo-Saxon race,
and to Germans-frst cousins. 30 to
speak, 10 that race-he would allege
that here was another outcropping OF
that self-satisfled egotism which
makes the 'Britlsher" or the "Yan-
kee" so disngreeable n neighbor
The real truth is that man, wheth-
Englishman or Frenchman, who
undertakes any such classification, en-
cages in perilous enterprise. He may
not hope to satisfy anyone but him
self Probably every thoughtful stu
dent Of our own time has nj least one
hero whose name he would vote 10
substitute for some name given above.
Yet this is n good list, one worthy
of respectful consideration. II is not
onrs. We merely import the conun-
drum and the answer. But the Amer
lean who constructs a more glittering
roll OF honor will have to.rcad hard
and think deeply. The sterner critic
will probably concede that It would
not be possible to mention "ten great

CHOOSES A HUSBAND.
Wilhelmina Selects Duke Henry Of
Mecklenburg- -Schwerin.
Announcement of the Royal BE-
trothal Cheered by the Members
of The Netherlan ds Parliament
--Cabinst Opposed Match.

The announcement OF the betrothal
of Queen Wilhelmina to Duke Henry
of Mecklenburg- -schwerin in the sec
ond chamber OF The Netherlands par
lament the other day was greeted
with cheers. The house charged the
president to transmit to the queen its
congratulations and thanks for com
municating the glad event, which was
of the highest importance to the
dynasty and country.
The announcement has been sym
pathetically received by the whole
German press. although nearly all the
papers point out that the event is de-
void of political significance. Atten-
tion, however. is called to the fact
that her choice cannot fail to
strengthen the ties Of friendship be-
tween the two countries. Mention Is
made of the close relations Of Ian
guage, race and literature and OF the
fact that the queens mother was born
in Germany.
II is learned from n reliable source
that her choice is her own and against
the wishes OF the Dutch cabinet, who
desired her to wait for another year
or two until her judgment was more
mature. She took the matter into
her own hands When she visited
Potsdam year ago everybody ex-
pected that her choice would be
Prince joachim Albrecht OF Prussia,
who paid court TO her assiduously and
rescued her and the queen mother
from serious accident while they
were driving in the Sans Souci park.
At that time she seemed TO be seri-
ously smitten, the prince being tall,
good looking and amiable; but II IL
understood that she yielded 10 the
strong objections Of the Dutch cab
met, who urged that an alliance with
a Prussian prince might bring polit
ical entanglements.
The young duke is In habits and
manner n typical German officer. He
has Travelled to India and North Cape
Recently he has been much in evil
dence in Berlin and Potsdam and In
court, military and diplomatic socie-
ETY., where he is appreciated as an
indefatigible dancer. He is also fine
equestrian. His brother, Duke Adolf
Friedrich, is n noted steeplechaser.
