Cincinnati Millionaire Takes Bride as
9ands Of Life Are Ebblnq Away.

Asheville. N. c.. Nov. 3.-Knowing
himself to be almost at the end of life.
John Gibson of Cincinnati was united
In marriage to Henrietta G. Wolfe. the
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Banno Wolfe
of Providence, Rhode Island. Immedi-
ately after the ceremony Mr.. Gibson
made will, by which he leaves his
wife most of his estate. valued at more
than 81 ,0O0, 900.
When the sufferer signed the will II
was not believed by those about him
that he would live through the night.
The excitement. however. seemed TO
give him renewed strength. and to-day
he was stronger than before in a
month. The rally can hardly be more
than temporary. and death may claim
Mr.. Gibson at any moment.
BY intimate friends II is said Mr..
Gibson was led to this step by the be-
lief that II would be In accordance with
the wishes of his first wife. Mr.. Glib
son. with his brother Peter, now OF
New York. divided. at the death of
their father. William Gibson. In Cincin-
natl. one of the largest estates in Ohio.
II was in Cincinnati that he married
his first wife. Miss Goodhue. who was
also wealthy. Soon after their marriage
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson had narrow es-
cape from death by fire in a hotel In
Florida. Ever after she had horror
OF fire. and believed that she would one
day die in flames. Her belief was
prophetic. as she was one OF the VIC
tins of the Windsor hotel fire in New
York City on st. Patrick's Day. 1899.
Mr. and Mrs. Gibson always lived in
the Windsor hotel when they were in
New York. and It was there the wife in
troduced her friend Miss Wolfe to her
husband. Mrs. Gibson was dressing to
go riding with her husband on the
fatal afternoon of the fire. when she
lost her life.
After the death of his wife. Mr.. Glib
son went into physical decline. Real
izing last week that he must soon die.
Gibson sent telegram to Miss Wolfe,
asking her to come to him. She did
so, accompanied by her sister, Miss Al
ice. They arrived here Saturday. Mr..
Gibson insisted upon being married at
once.

A PERFECT AIRsn,p.
New French Invention That Performs
Birdiike EvoIutions In the Air.

Paris, Nov. 3.-In ballooning circles
the latest sensation is the reported sue
cess Of the Lebaudy airship. built by
the order OF the Lebaudy brothers. un-
der the supervision of the engineer,
Julliot. Paris was not favored by the
sight OF the flight
The little town of Moisson, not far
from Nantes, was more fortunate. and
the inhabitants of that section of the
country are much elated over the sue
cess Of the first trial of their balloon.
The Lebaudy airship has been con-
structed on the quiet. far from the
troublesome inquisitiveness of report
ers. The first attempt to fly was made
on Sunday afternoon. The big bird
rose from the shed. sailed against the
wind, turned round and round under
the guiding influence of NJ. Pulliot and
after an hour OF graceful evolutions,
returned to the starting point without
accident.
The spectators seemed to be agree
ably disappointed because nobody and
nothing fell to the earth during the
trial.
The balloon is very long. pointed at
the prov and rounded at the stern.
The under side is flattened.
1t is explained that in case Of acci-
dent the airship can be transformed
into an aeroplane. making slow de-
scent possible.
The balloon is fifty-nine metres
long. The car is five metres long and
can carry three persons. The motor
has a force of forty horsepower and
the propellers can be turned at differ
ent angles.

Saloon in the
City Suburbs

The Northwestern saloon is now To-
Gated in the old Halfway house in
North Salem recently purchased by
Felix La Branche, Being located at this
point outside the city limits, there is
considerable difference in the year-
ly license. The City license is
$4OO and the county license is but one
half that sum. The operation OF the
saloon there could be prevented by the
residents Of that ueighborhood petition
ing the court not to issue license but
they have decided through past ex-
perience that II had better be granted.
In this way liquor can only be sold by
drinks, and not in large quantities, as
by thegalon. There is no way to apply
the sl0O city license so long az the
suburbs are outside the city.

ACTION OF PORTLAND MINISTER'S.

Rev. Cline on behalf Of the Portland
ministers association reported Monday
the action Of committee Of ministers
who waited on Mayor Rowe and asked
him To approve Of the new high license
ordinance.
This Ia a change Of front OF some OF the
clergy who have in the past looked upon
high license advocates ss being in league
with the evil one 70 dethrone morality
and degrade humanity.
The facts seem 10 be that high license
makes it impossible to run saloons out
side the thickly settled business parts OF
a city. Under high license saloons in
suburbs cannot exist II those suburbs are
taken into the city with the understand
ing that no licenses shall be granted in
the residence portions.
The action OF the Portland ministers,
in recommending high license TO the
Mayor Of that city is step in new
direction, and indicatesa break from the
ranks OF the Prohibition party.
