NJ. santOs-DumOnt Plans to Carry On
His Experimen ts Near the City
of Monaco.

M. Santos-Dumont is bringing to a
close negotiations with the prince of
Monaco's engineers for the con.
struction of an aerodrome below the
city of Monaco on ground bordering
on the boulevard de La Condamine,
says the Monte Carlo correspondent
of the New York Herald. 1t will be
81 meters long, 10 meters wide,
and Is meters high. 1t will shelter
the Santos-Dumont No. z, measuring
40 metefs-iH- length and meters IN
diameter, and of which the capacity
will be 1000 cubic meters. When the
airship leaves the shed it will pass
over the Bay of Monaco, where il
will be put through evolutions daily
during the months of January and
February. The superficial area of the
bay is about 100000 square meters
Whenever the weather permits the
aeronauts will leave the bay and
carry their experiments out over the
Mediterranean.
Finally, near the end of February,
M. Santos-Dumont will attempt an
aerial passage from Monaco to Calvi,
Corsica, distance of about 200 Kill.
ometers, which he hopes to be able
to accomplish in four hours.

COMES TO POVERTY.
Relative of George Washington
Found to he an Inmate Of the
AlmshOuse.

Alice Washington Fairchild, who IL
IS years old, and third cousin, once
removed, of George Washington. APP
peared the other day as a pauper be-
fore Superintendent George Blair, of
the outdoor poor department Of the
department of public charities and was
sent to the almshouse. Mrs. Fairchild
has occasioned much anxiety and dis.
appointment to many persons who be.
came interested in her because of her
lineage and her poverty. These per.
sons declare she has been tramp for
the last 90 years and that she is incor.
rigible and irreclaimable.
There is no doubt that her father
was Lawrence Washington, who in.
herited the Mount Vernon property,
and wAe was the great-gr-ut-grunisun
\ Of Gen. Washington's half brother,
Tohn Augustine Washington.
Mrs. Fairchild has often been before
the public as the subject of articles,
and for q time her claims to distinc.
ton on account of being Washington
were doubted.
Mrs. Walter Lester Carr, of the Mary
Washington Colonial Chapter of the
Daughters Of the American Revolu'
ton, verified Mrs. Fairchild's state.
ments by the Washington book and
had her fully identified.

NEW ROUTE TO LONDON.
Found That Mails Can BE Carried
Quicker Across America Than
Via Sues Canal

According to officials of the New
| York Central railroad the British gov
Ernment has decided to send Aus
dalian mails for London by way of
San Francisco and New York instead
of as formerly by way of the Suez
canal. 1t has been demonstrated that
the Pacific and American route is
slightly over three days faster than
the old route from Sydney to London,
by way of Colombo, Alden, Brindisi and
London.
I'VE have heard the good news from
the San Francisco officers of the
Oceanic Steamship company" said an
Official of the New York Central rail-
road. shipments of Australian mails
will leave New York for London every
third week. 1t is our hope that the
Australians will travel to their mother
country by this route. We hope, too,
that large freight traffic will be at
tracted this way.
THE new steamer Ventura, of the
Oceanic Steamship company, has
brought about this innovation. The
Ventura is q fast boat. II is one of
three sister ships built by the Cramps
ht Philadelphia. The line from Sydney
10 San Francisco is an American one,
SO that the voyage from New York to
London is the only English portion OF
the trip"

Plan Cars for Women Only,

A vigorous correspondence has
been proceeding in the London press
lately on the comparative politeness
of different races toward their won.
en-, in which it is alleged that the
Treatment of women in America by
men in the street cars came in for
rough criticism, and it is claimed
that, as a whole, chivalry toward the
weaker sex is more general in Eng
land than anywhere else. A curious
commentary on this comes this week
in the shape of an appeal TO the coun.
ty council to establish system OF
street cars especially for women, as
in the busy time of the day women
have no chance Of getting a place in
the councils cars. -
