HUcK FINN CLUB ORGANIZED,
Members to Live Up to PreCeptS
of Mark TWain'S Hero.

AS an aftermath of the visit of Mark
Twain to the University of Missouri
in June quite a novel club has recently
been organized by a number of the
young people of Columbia, Mo-. says
the st. Louis Republic. The organiza-
ton is known as the Huckleberry Finn
club.
In order to become member of the
organization it is necessary that the
applicant be thoroughly familiar with
Mr.. Clemens story of "Huckleberry
Finn" and be able to quote its quaint
phrases on occasion. The members or
the organization must also be ardent
lovers of nature, must have some
knowledge of cooking over an open
fire and must always be ready to spend
a day or a week in the woods.
The membership of the club is quite
exclusive, as not many persons are
found who can properly qualify for
membership. The club is making ar
rangements for it's first encampment.
which will take place soon.

SILLY POLITICAL CANT.
IdoIatrors of Cleveland Making
Much Ado Over Nothing.

From the Albany Herald.
About the silliest political can't that
has cropped out in any quarter this
year comes from the disgruntled or
CANS of Clevelandism in regular one
two-three, me-two order as the demo
cratic state conventions are held.
When democrats meet in convention
and adopt platform without making
any reference to the Kansas City plat
form or mentioning the name of VIM.
J. Bryan the idolatrous worshipers OF
"The Only Democrat who has been
Elected President Since the War"
proceed in unison to make much ado
over it as a matter of great significance
and we are given lot of cant about
mo more free silver" and bryan 8
name not mentioned"
The purpose of all this cant is plain
ly an effort to create the impression
that the democrats OF the country
have s'seen the error of their way" in
repudiating Cleveland after he had
betrayed his party during his second
administration the effects of which
were seen SO plainly in the congress
siOnal elections in 1894, and that they
are now repudiating Bryan because
they do not feel called upon to men
ton his name in their state platforms.
There is no sane reason why Mr..
Bryans name should be dragged into
the platform adopted by any state in
the Union this year, and the fact OF
his name being left out of state plat
form cannot, therefore, be reasonably
construed into reputation of him. 1t
could be said with just as much truth
that Cleveland was being repudiated
because his name was omitted from
the same platform.
The six and a half millions OF loyal
democrats who voted for Bryan-and
that's more votes than Cleveland ever
received-haye not only not repudlat-
ed him, but they are not going to do
IT.

WHY M'LAURIN DECLINED.
Feared Bringing to Light of I'm
pleasant Situation.

A Columbia, S. c., dispatch says:
There was great surprise when the
public learned of Senator McLau-
rims declination of the judgeship.
There was even greater surprise that
he should have given a newspaper ed
itoral as his reason for not accepting
the place, when there were dozens of
similar charges made several weeks
before he secured from the president a
promise of the judgeship. There is a
rumor to the effect that the editorial
in question was only used as an excuse,
the real reason being a threat made by
Senator Tillmau to oppose confrma-
ton, and that certain conditions that
have existed from time to time in
Washington would be revealed.

RUSSIA AND MANCHURIA.
Count CaSsini Makes Statement
of the MuscOvite Plans.

Count Cassini, the Russian embassa-
dor at Washington, was recently In
terviewed by the New York World
correspondent about Lord Cranborne'
statement in parliament that Britain
has been notified that negotiations are
proceeding for the evacuation of Man
churia by Russia and that it is ex-
pected that Manchuria will soon be
restored to Chinese control. Count
Cassini said:
1.-THE assertion that negotiations are
proceeding for the evacuation of Man
churia by Russia is hardly frank. Man
churia has been returned to Chinese
Jurisdiction in accordance with Rus
sia's original promise and programme.
"Russian forces still hold New
chwang, and it is plainly understood
by every cabinet throughout the world
that we will continue to hold that
port as long as Tientsin is occupied by
the forces of governments foreign 10
China. We hold Newchwang as
guarantee for the evacuation OF Ilen-
tsin and are prepared to return New
chwang and its railroad connections
to the Chinese administration when
ever the corresponding obligations are
discharged at Tientsin."
The count further explained as fol
lows:
SIN answer to oft repeated questions
T NAV repeat the position OF Russia.
Manchuria was occupied by RUSSIAN
forces because the Chinese regular
trOOps invaded Russian territory prop
err and began war with us. we grove
them back and temporarily occupied
part of their territory. AS an act OF
conquest and reprisal Russia was en-
titled to the sovereignty of Manchurla.
cat the beginning of hostilit1es Rus
STA announced that no policy or ag-
grandizement animated her policies.
When peace was secured, Russia grad
ually evacuated Chinese territory, re-
turning it to the Chinese. We had
conquered it. We held it. Had we
coveted Manchuria where was the
mower to drive us out? Russia held
Manchuria with an Overwhelming
force. Nothing equal to it could have
been modified in China.
"Manchuria was restored to emma
in compliance with the uncoerced good
faith of Russia and in accordance WIN
a programme announced at the time
we were repelling an actual war. New
chwang and similar territory Will De
treated in the same way"

Experiments in the navigation of the
air have been carried ON by Il. C. Ben
bow OF Montana for ten years, and he
is of the opinion that he has produced
a machine com bining the qualities of
absolute dirigibility, safety and speed.
In Mr.. Benbow's latest machine are
four immense fan propellers, with au-
tomatically folding blades, constructed
of hollow steel tubing and silk. BY an
Ingenious and simple cam-wheel
arrangement, operated by levers
from the car of the ship, these
folding blades can be set so as to open
and close at any given point in their
circuit without lessening the speed of
their revolution. The resistance of
the propellers to the atmosphere can
thus be brought to bear on the down
ward stroke of the propeller if the
aeronaut wishes to rise in the air or
vice versa if he wishes to sink gently
to the earth, or at any angle necessary
to produce an oblique line of flight on
either an ascending or descending
plane.
Mr.. Benbow claims this arrange
ment will do away with the necessity
of carrying ballast, and that he can
descend to the earth as gently as a
bird does from it's flight. The folding

INVENTOR BENBOW AND HIS BIG AIR SHIP.

blades of the fans are much broader at
their outer ends, thus giving them a
greater degree of leverage than the
wings of bird.
The whole machine when completed
will weigh between 500 and 600 pounds.
1t is supported in the air by two OBJ
long bags. The idea of having two
bags instead of one is to guard against
dangerous falls by reason of a punct-
ure. If one bag should spring a leak
the other is sufficient to support the
machine and hold the tlaccid one free
of the wings of the machinery. Either
a gasoline or an electric motor will be
used to propel the craft.
81 claim that with my machine | can
sail either over or under the Brooklyn
bridge" says Mr.. Benbow. "My sug-
gestion to the ST. Louis fair authori-
ties is to have a number of hurdles set
up on the ground to.test the dlrigibili-
ty of the airships. l am certain that
with my machine l can sail alternately
over and under them. | do not think
there ever will be practical aero
plane in operation. There must be
some power to hold the machine in the
air. Even our largest birds are very
poor flyers. Look at the ostrich and
the turkey, for instance"
