Gov. Roosevelt has Endorsed the,

officials.
A letter was addressed recently to,
Adjt. Gen. Hoffman explaining the
plans and asking if the regiment would
be admitted to the national guard.

SAYS AIRsHIP IS A SUCCESS.
Wilhelm Kress, the Inventor, Insists
That He Has Craft That
VIII Fly.

Wilhelm Kress, the inventor of the
new airship in which the, emperor
Francis Joseph is interested financial
~, has given the following details con-
corning The invention, which he calls
the Dragon Flyer
THE machine will be moved by
means of large horizontal wings COW
cred with silk and spread upon steel
ribs which in themselves form para:
chute and permit of a gradual descent,
the body of the ship resting upon run
ners which allow of a landing in slant
ing position. The Dragon FLYER
ascends by means of two screw propel-
lers laid horizontally on each other,
which force the sails upward. The
whole machine is constructed of light
steel ribs covered with an elastic mate
rial. The power is furnished by ben
zine motor of 20 hourse power. The
ship is the lightest ever built, its weight
not exceeding 400 pounds
The first experiments with it will
take place next spring at Neusiedel,
Just across the Hungarian frontier.
Herr kress has been working for 20
years on his project, and Prof. Won
Radinger, one of the highest authors
ties in Austria on the subject, declares
that it is bound to succeed.

LONDON LIoNIZES DRACHMANN
Danish Poet Is the Recipient of Many
FIattering Atten-
lions.

Holger Drachmann, the Danish poet
and dramatist, is the recipient of many
flattering attentions from Englishmen
of letters. Already he has been ban
quoted half a dozen times. He speaks
excellent English, and whenever the
opportunity presents tselfdwells upon
the influence which English literature.
especially the poetry of Shakespeare,
Byron and Keats, has exercised upon
his own productions.
Much the most graceful tribute paid
to him has come from Edmund Gosse.
who described him the other evening
as extremely voluminous and excel
ling in songs of patriotism, songs of
love and wine and feasting, songs of the
sorrowful life of the poor, the blood red
song of revolution and, above all. the
song of the sea-
Mr.. Gosse called him ..Denmark's
greatest living poet, the most repre-
sentative of her sons, and the most
vivid and striking personality she can
offer to the gaze of Europe in this last
year Of the nineteenth century,
It is understood that Mr.. Drachmann
has received several urgent requests to
go to America, where he is assured of
warm welcome.

HIS OWN GRANDFATHER.
Decision of Court Strangely Affects
James Hartwell, of Al
bion, Ill.

Through a peculiar holding of the
courts James Hartwell, of Albion, H.,
has been declared his own grandfather.
The discussion that brought out this
peculiar relation arose over the DISPOSE
ton of SITS. In 1897 there lived at Al
bion, ILL.,, widow named Swan and a
young man named James Hartwell
The widow was 40 and the man 81, but
they fell in love and were married.
Last year he died, leaving clause in his
will bequeathing $175 to my grand
father, James Hartwell, and in event
of his death it shall revert to my wife,,
The wife succeeded after legal advice
in cutting out the living grandfather
on the following interpretation: James
Hartwell, her husband, was dead, and
James Hartwell, his grandfather. was
living, but James Hartweu was his own
grandfather, so the money reverted to
her. James Hartwell, her husband, was
his fathers father-in-law, because his
father married her daughter. Her hus-
bands fathers father-in-law is her
maternal grandfather, therefore her
husband is his own fathers father-in-
law and is the same as his grandfather,
and. being dead, entitled to the amount
of the bequest.

WEATHER TOO SEVERE.
French Dominican Monks Abandon
Church and Monastery In
This Country.

Because they were not able to endure
the climate of Westchester county the
French Dominican monks, who have
had a church and monastery at Sher-
man Park, New York, for the last six
years, have returned to France, tax
ing their students for the priesthood
with them. The immunity at Sher-
man Park, including priests and nov
ices, numbered about so. Now there
are only half a dozen of the fathers
left, and they are engaged in parish
work only.
The French Dominicans and their
students were accustomed to warm
climate before they came here in 1894,
and the change was trying. to them
especially ito the young novices. These
youths came from Lyons, France, and
in that mild climate had no difficulty
in living up to the strict rules of the
Dominicans. But here it was noticed
that both priests and novices began to
decline.
The French Dominicans came here
to escape the unfriendiness which ex-
lists against the Catholic orders in
France. In 1880 the Dominican fathers
of the province of Lyons and their nov
ices were expelled from France. They
first went to Switzerland, then to Hol-
land, and finally to Jerusalem. From
Jerusalem they came to this country in

LOSES ON BICYCLES.
British Trade Suffers Greatly by
Oyercapitalization.
Within the Last Four Years 1t Is Com-
puted That Investors i'm Cycling
Industry Have Lost SOme-
thing Like a2O,OOO,OOO.

{ The bicycle trade Of Britain is grow
ing from bad to worse, heSlatest sta
tistics showing that companies with an
aggregate capital of nearly g 5,OO0,Goo
sterling have disappeared. Altogether,
within the last four years it is comput-
ed that public investors of money in
cycling industries must have lost some
thing like & 2O,o00,000. The present
chaotic condition Of the trade is set
forth by the Birmingham Daily Mail
in a melancholy array of statistics.
The conclusion arrived at is that the
main cause of the disaster is oVercapi-
talization. This, it is pointed out in
this connection, seems a preposterous
price paid for fugitive and imaginary
good will, excessive competition, and
reckless. dishonest and incompetent
trading
This really is at the root of the mis-
chief. Until the trade has purged it
self of these maladies there can be no
lasting health or prosperity forit how
ever steady is the public demand.
Phenomenal dividends are things of
the past. Of the companies that have
survived the wreckage only two in the
last year have been able to pay divi-
dend of 20 per cent. These are the
Birming CHAM Small Arms and Palmer
Tire, neither being solely manufactur-
ing concerns. Four others-the Ra-
leigh. the dge-Whitworth, All Days
and Unions and j. B. Brooks & CO.
paid ten per cent, while few others
were able to showan improved balance
sheet on the years working.
The majority of the companies have
done worse than last year, and there
is no silver lining to the black cloud.

"vIsIBLEo SPEECH CLUB.
Seeks to Interpret Sound and Secure
Elegance and Tease
of Speech.

If you wantto learn the true inward
ness of donkey's bray, or an old mans
snore, or if you feel some curiosity as
to the scientific construction of kiss
or a sneeze, join the Visible Speech
club.
This organization held it's first seance
the other day at the Berkeley Lyceum.
New York city. and for an hour and a
half fashionable membership strug-
gled with the curves and lines which,
according to the theories involved, the
donkey shares equally with man in his
vocal gymnastics.
The club has for it's main object ele-
gance and ease of speech, and the ban
ishing of all fat and unlovely pro-
nunciations Miss Mary S. Thompson,
eader of the club, says the Americans
use their lips too much. She is willing
to admit, also, that our Rs are way
ward. and constantly run amuck.
Visible speech has been associated
solely with the deaf mute. Miss Thomp-
son explained; that It applies equally
to all humanity. It simply means a
definite position of the vocal organs
for any given sound. Prof. Alexander
Melville Bell gave an exposition of the
symbols of visible speech.
