A|RSH|PGOES THIRTY MILES
OVER LONDON, ENGLAND.
The Trip Was Entirely Successful
Stanley Spencer 10 the INVENTOR
Appearance of Airship Caused Ex-
citment Among Thousands-Decrip-
tion of Craft.

London, Sept. 23.-Stanley Spencer, a
well known English aeronaut, has sue
cessfully accomplished remarkable
fight over London in an air ship Of
his own invention. 1t is estimated that
his ship travelled nearly thirty miles.
From observations of those on the
ground, Spencer seemed to have COM
plete control of his vessel. He started
from the Crystal Palace at Is minutes
after in the afternoon, and descended
three hours later near Harrow. The
route taken by the aeronaut was over
Stratham, Chaplain common and the
smoky South side of the metropolis,
across the Thames, over the populous
Chelsea district, across Kensington and
Earlscourt, out to Harrow and then
safely past the Forest buildings. He
executed an easy descent at the little
village of East Cole. Spencer has been
experimenting recently with his vessel
at the Crystal Palace. Finding the
conditions suitable, he suddenly de-
sided to start off on his dangerous voy-
age and the usual crowd of Palace
spectators gave him hearty send off.
The airship at once rose to height
of about 800 feet. After travelling for
about mile with practically no devia-
ton in his course.
Spencer made various detours and
seemed able to steer his ship as easily
as torpedo boat.
Near Chaplain common he. came
fairly close to the ground for the pur-
pose of maneuvering.
The appearance Of the air craft
created intense establishment among the
thousands of persons on the streets over
whose heads the aeronaut passed.
Percival Spencer, referring to his
brothers. trip through the air, said il
exceeded the longest trip of Santos
Dumont, the Brazilian aeronaut, by
nearly 20 miles.
Spencer's airship has a blunt nose
and tail, and does not taper in cigar
like point like the airships of Santos
Dumont.
In general outline it has the appear
ance of whale. The bag, which is
75 feet long, contains 200 cubic feet of
hydrogen gas. The frame is built of
bamboo and the propeller is in front
instead of behind, las in the case of San
tos Dumont's vessels. The motive
power of Spencer's machine is petrol
cum motor about 80 horse power and
the machinery is controlled by electric
buttons. The extreme speed of the new
air ship in calm weather is abont Is
miles an hour. The machine accom-
modates only one person, and its extire
weight is about 600 pounds. Special
features of the airship are devices to
avoid pitching and dipping.

Speaker Henderson Resigns.


Dubuque, Iowa, Sept IS. - Speaker
Henderson has addressed the following
letter to G. E. Albrook of Eldroa, Iowa,
chairman of the notification committee:
my Dear Sir: have never answered
the kind notice communicated by you
and your associates advising me of my
nomination for the eleventh time by
reclamation as republication candidate
for congress for the Third congress
ional district of Iowa. Reported con-
ditions in the public mind in my dis
tricJ on up the public policies induced
me to make this delay. Since my re-
turn to the district l have made a care
full study as to the sentiment in the
district and state and 1 believe that
there is no little sentiment and a grow
ing one among republicans that I do
not truly represent their views ON the
tariff questions. Believing this con-
dition to exist and knowing that l do
not agree with many of my people that
the trusts, to which l am and have
been opposed, can be curbed or the
people benefited by free trade in whole
or in part, l must decline to accept the
nomination SO graciously and enthus-
iastically made.
81 have devoted 20 of the best years
of my life to the service of my people
and this country, and have fought for
what l believed to be the best for the
farmer, the laborer and the business in
terests of this district and state.
will later on give in some detail
my views and convictions on our con-
ditions an on public questions, and
state my reasons why the republican
party and its policies should continue
in the confidence of the voters of the
United States and why the doctrines
of he democracy should find no lodge
ment in the faith and teachings of the
republican party.
Very truly yours,
3D. b. HENDERSON.

By the Queen Marie Henriette's own
desire her remains will not be emf
balmed, and an amulet, gift of her
dead son, which she always Wore, will
not be removed. The are various ver-
sions for the quarrel at Spa between
King Leopold and Princess Stephanie,
his daughter, the most reliable of which
is to the effect that the princess was in
the death chamber when his majesty
arrived at the palace.
He refused to enter until she had
left the room. Princess Clementine,
the kings third daughter, came and
took the Princess Stpehanie away.
King Leopold then entered the death
chamber and prayed before the coffin
for 25 minutes.
The news of the quarrel between the
king and princess spread rapidly.

have starvation wages and then for a
man to take the paltry sum they may
have saved by bard economy puts him
about as low down in the scale of
human depravity as man can get.
