lay the body of a man who, in his life,
had grievously offended a group of
students in the University of Havana.
After his burial some of these stu

the foolish prank of desecrating the
tablet which sealed the tomb OF their
enemy. They were caught and SEN

Denver. Sept. 20.-A special to the

The Bradford Well spouted for ten
minutes this evening, the oil rising in

PUTS oAMpER ON PROPOSALS
Indignities Heaped Upon the Bride
groom-Elect in China.

Women are constantly complaining
that eligible men show most uDcom-
promising desire to remain single In
stead OF selecting wife 1t is. there
fore. a good thing that the same con-
ditions do not prevail in England as
in some parts of China. or the prob
ability is that not one in thousand
would ever take woman for better
or for worse
In these Celestial regions the bride
groom-elect has to submit to being
dressed up by his friends In any sort
of costume they like. and thus habited
they accompany him in state through
the streets of the town. Perhaps in
that part of the world men are over
anxious to be married, and everything
which can possibly be done to induce
them to remain single until they ar
rive at a more mature age has to be
resorted to.
II is another case of all being fair
in love and war, and no doubt the
Chinaman who is shouting to-day as
he accompanies his friend knows full
well that next week he may be the
bridegroom-elect, and so the punish

GUIDING AN AIRsHIP

Steers His Airship With the Ut
most Ease.
London. Sept. 1o.-Stnnley Spencer.
well known English aeronaut. yes
tnrday successfully accomplished a
remarkable flight over London In an
airship OF his own invention. 1t is es-
timated 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 AIS yester-
day afternoon and descended three
hourse later near Harrow. The route
taken by the aeronaut was over Strath-
am, Chaplain common and the smoky
South Side of the metropolis. across
the Thames. over the populous Chelsea
district. across kensington and Earps
Court. out to Harrow and then safely
past the Forest buildings. He executed
an easy descent at the little village OF
Eastcote
Spencer has been experimenting re
Gently with his vessel at Crystal Pal
ace. Finding the conditions favorable
he suddenly decided to start OF on his
dangerous voyage late yesterday after
noon, and the usual crowd of palace
spectators gave him a hearty send-off.
The airship at once rose to a height of
about 800 feet. After travelling for
about mile with practically no devi-
alton in his course, Spencer made yari-
Gus detours and seemed able to steer
his ship as easily as n torpedo boat.
Near Clapham common he came fair
ly close TO the ground, for the purpose
of maneuvering. The appearance OF
the airship created intense astonish-
ment among the thousands OF persons
on the streets over whose heads the
aeronaut passed. Perciyal Spencer, re-
ferring to his brothers trip through
the air, said 1t exceeded the longest
trip of Santos-Dumont. the Brazilian
aeronaut, by nearly twenty miles.
Spencer's alrship has blunt nose
and tail and does not taper in cigar

appearance of a whale. The bag,
which is seT.tnty-five feet long. con-

NO MORE "DUMB-BELL" TENEMENTs.

The bill of Assembyman Ash amending the
Tenement House law to permit the return in
the Borough of Brooklyn TO the old fashioned
three foot airshatt for three story, six family
tenement houses should on no account be put
upon the statute books. There must be no re-
PROGRESSION in this matter Of tenement house re-
form. The desirahility of making easy the cree
ton of three story tenement houses on the
comparatively low priced and uncrowded lands
of Brooklyn may be granted, but the laws must
not be relaxed on any plea of present necessity
so as to permit buildings which In few years
would reproduce the worst features of the Man
haitian tenement house districts.
The law at present requires for three story
buildings an interior court with minimum di-
mansions Of IL by % feet, or 242 square feet
Mr.. Ash wants the minimum figure to be by
u feet or thirty-six square feet In support Of
this plan it is said that Brooklyn conditions call
for two apartments on each floor OF n twenty
five foot building, each going through from front
to rear and that the double apartments one
front and one rear apartments going Clear
across the lot, with court between them are
not popular. Therefore the builders want TO
return TO what is nothing less than the cid
abominable "dumb-bel" system which has been
condemned by Fire Department Health De-
partment, physicians, charity workers. tenants
and enlightened builders.
These proposed three foot airshafts do not
afford proper light air even in a three
story building. They are so small that
they accumulate filth. There is no circu-
latOn in Them and they become reservoirs
of foul air. In case Of fire they become chin
neys for the spreading Of smoke and flames
/ They convey noises and smells and force the
windows OF different apartments so close TO-
gether TO destroy all privacy. Better that
| the two family to a floor type of house on a
twenty five foot lot should disappear than that
this type of tenement should be fastened upon
Brooklyn. There is room enough there to Der
NIT other kinds Of dwellings, even If the in
genuity of builders is not equal to the task of
housing two families to their satisfaction under
the restrictions Of the present law The COM
plant that the law makes building practically
impossible is not borne out by the records
More new buildings were projected in Brooklyn
between January 1 and February % this year
than in the corresponding period last year. be-
| fore the law was enacted. More tenement
! almost nine months of which the law was in
effect, than filed in 1900 under the old
law. Moreover. in both Brooklyn and Queens
the building of two family houses, a most de-
slrable substitute for tenement houses. was al
most doubled from 1900 10 1901.
, The wisdom Of making any concession 10
prejudice in this matter is open to serious ques
| ton. The plan for front and rear apartments
each with plenty Of air, is much better than the
