GRAHAM BELLS AIRSHIPS,
The Great Telephone Inventors Air
ship Will be Seen at the St.
Louis Worlds Fair.

Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis,
Aug. Authorization has been re-
ceived here that Prof. Alexander Ora
ham Bell, inventor of the telephone, is
personally supervising the construc-
ton of an airship at his home at Bad
deck, Cape Breton. The craft is said
to be the result of years of study on
the part of Prof. Bell, and represents
an expenditure Of many thousands of
dollars. 1t is 20 feet long, and is
composed of rs distinct parts. 1t is
celled internally with canvas, and in
places with linen stretched on piano
wires. Five miles of his wire were
used In the construction. The princi-
pie of the kite will be utilized to a
considerable extent in this machine,
which is to carry human freight. This
means that the aeroplane system, not
used in any of Santos-Dumont's air.
ships, will be a feature of Prof. Bells
machine.
just what Prof. Bell hopes to ac-
complish with his airship is not GER
tain, but those who know him insist
he intends to Guido Santos-Dumont
in the conquering Of the great prob
lem, and they predict a machine ready
for a test of mettle with Santos-Du-
mont's newest airship now building
in this country for the Worlds fair
aerial contests at st. Louis in 1904.

AN ADMIRER OF ST. LOUIS.
A Frenchman who Fully Appreci-
ates h Facilities of st. louis for
Holding a Worlds Fair.

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis,
Aug. 2.-Mr. Robert C. Johnston, OF
the house of Scruggs, V~ander~oort d
Barney, has sent to the Worlds fair
offices q translation of a very inter
esting report of about three thousand
words made to the president of the
committee Of direction of the Frehch
national bureau of foreign commerce,
by M. Edmond Delterna, "Conseiller
de Commerce Exterieur de la France"
on the practical means Of developing
commerce between France and the
United States of America. The au-
thor devotes more than half of his
report to the commercial greatness
of st. Louis and the phenomenal
growth of the region tributary to
her, an illustration of which he finds
in the ease with which st. Louis has
raised so much money for the Louis
lana Purchase exposition for 1904.
Like a practical business man who
has made a thorough study of this in
viting field, he gives facts and figures
showing that there is in the region
tributary to st. Louis ian inexhausti-
BILE market for French merchandise
Of first quality; articles of taste, ar
ticles of luxury" He traces with en-
thusiasm the history of st. Louis and
the development of her Worlds fair,
and her great manufacturing enter
prises, and says visitors arriving in
st. Louis experience a feeling of adj
miration in the presence of such ener-
gy and the spirit Of enterprise dis
played in the great and modern city"

q Good Premium.

Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis,
Aug. 3.-Orders are being received by
Secretary Walter B. Stevens for the
gold dollars to be issue by the United

The issue will be limited to 100000
coins, according to the instructions
of the act of congress authorizing
them. The committee in charge of
the matter, under the direction of the
secretary of the treasury, has about
decided upon two designs, one includ-
ing the bust of Jefferson, the other
the bust of Mckinley. The coins will
be sold at two dollars each by the
Worlds fair, and the amount derived
from the premium will be used in the
construction of monuments of JEFF
ferson and Mckinley. The first hun
dred issued of each design will be
numbered as minted, and a certificate
issued by the director of the mint for
each coin stating that it was minted
in his presence and numbered in con-
secutive order. These two hundred
coins will be sold to the highest bid
ders. The 100000 gold dollars are a
part of the appropriation of S. 5000, 900
in aid of the Worlds fair from the
United States government. They will
be delivered to the exposition author
itit, as soon as minted, which will be
probably late in the fall.

Langendoefer of this place suffered
very severely with a peculiar case of
Kidney Trouble which completely baf-
fled the skill of the local physicians

used two boxes 1 was entirely cured
and have not since had the slightest
symptom of the return of my trouble.
81 had tried all the surrounding ply
s%icians, but they did me no good, and
instead of getting better I grew worse
till I used Dodd's Kidney Pills.
II can sincerely say to everyone

Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure them, for
they cured me satisfactorily and com.
pletely when all the doctors had failed"
