AT THE ROCK.
A Remarkable Ascension Yesterday-
 Jayeniie Day Next Tuesday.

A remarkable balloon ascension oc- cured at Savin Rock yesterday after noon and was witnessed by over 5000 amazed shore visitors The balloon went ID on schedule time and there was no tireson1e wait The ascension was made by Professor Flowers youngest aeronaut and was actually the finest of the many ever seen in this vicinity and may, in sact, be said to be on a par with anything of the kind known in the history of balloon ascensions. These words do not stretch the truth and they are proved in the exhibitions themselves.
 Yesterday afternoons ascension was remarkable in theh height the great linen world scared.
 Its human freight was but a mere speek when the drop occurred. The ascent indeed was so great that many could not see the balloonist and knew his location only from the mammoth cloth ball above. With strained eyes thousands watched the ascent and were standing with mouths open in fear and wonder when all of sudden the great parachute opened and made an artificial cloud of white.
 Gradually it descended and the. form of the daring aeronaut came into view. He fell 8 mile out in the harbor, the balloon landing on the inner break water. It was a daring feat but was accomplished through both daring and I the safest and best of appliances known | to the world of ballooning.
 | A launch was ready to pick up the l balloonist when he landed and the | whole affair. went of. without a scratch I to any one. Professor Flowers men say that every day for the remainder ot | their engagement they intend beating
 all records for height providing condi- lions are at all favorable. s7tS An ascension to-day that will be
 unique in many instances will be the "cannon ascension" It will occur i'm.
 mediately after the ball game. | Tomorrow afternoon there will be g double ascension and in the evening
 one with fireworks. These should not
 be missed, Rs

ton will be as follows:

< The level rates for $f,00o protection vary from $1.34 at age 21, to $1.75 at age
 30. s2.45 at age 10. $S.70 at age 50, to $40 at age 55. In my opinion eight as
 sessments year, our present number,
 would be sufficient under the new plan
 to pay our losses.
 Summing up the effect of the new plan 1t is estimated that the jurisdictions
 now on the relief call will pay their
 own losses with twelve assessments a
 year. All jurisdictions will be benefit
 ed by receiving considerable amount
 each year from the guaranty fund to-
 ward paying old age claims, which will
 help to keep the assessments as low as
 possible
 A change in rates was found to be
 absolutely necessary, and while the plan
 adopted may not be satisfactory to all, it was the concensus of opinion that 1t was the best possible plan for the per petuity of the order, and it was unanf- mously adopted The jurisdiction of New York has already adopted the the new plan.
 l We all want stability and perpetuity. l! We do not want our rates so low that they will place the order in aposition where it will sooner or later be unable 1 to pay it's benefits. The new plan will bear study and discussion and from my experience in the order I feel safe in saying that when the plan is fully un- derstood it will be adopted.

 day. -. ,2 3r | She was passionately fond of flowers | and her last act was watering her win- dow plants, then passing away ill her chair with the pitcher in her hand.
 For many years she was a regular attendant of the Church of the Redeem | CT, and her cheerful disposition, her I active interest and her sympathetic na- | ture endeared her to many friends; l these and hec daughters Pauline and Katie, wife of David D. Lamber, will l continue to mourn their loss.

THE X. Q. U. ". NEW RATES
INTERESTING STATEMENT FROM
 GRAND RECORDER KNOX.
Says ihs New Assessment is Not ta Freszs- Out but Intended to strengthen and Perpe,uats the Order.

Says the New Assessment fs Not Q Freeze
 Out but Intended to strengthen and
 Perpetuate the Order.
 James A. Knox, grand recorder of the grand lodge of the A. o. U. w. in this state, when shown the article in one of last evenings newspapers concerning the proposed increase of assessment rates, gave the following information concerning the action of the supreme lodge of the order at it's recent meeting in St. Paul, Minn.
 Mir. Knox said: Since it had been announced that the supreme lodge had
 perfected it's system of assessments, all
 the members naturally expressed their
 anxiety concerning the changes. I am a firm believer in the practice of keep
 ing the entire membership informed up-
 on all matters pertaining to the order,
 and try to answer the several letters
 received, and to place the plan adopted
 before the jurisdiction. have not.
 however. complete information as to all
 the details of the new plan, but as soon as this information is obtained will
 place it before the entire membership.
 The basis of both the classified rate and the level rate plan is the mortality table of the order. Any jurisdiction may adopt either or both plans. The level rate plan commences at the age of eighteen and ends at the age of fifty five. All members over the latter age pay at the rate of age fifty-fve during life. Either the classified rate or the 1 level rate plan must be applied at at tained age to all members of age fifty i five and under. Under either plan there will be only as many assess Ements levied per year as will be requir- ted to pay the death losses. The guar anty assessment rates have been ir- creased to meet and pay the deficiencies 1 of all members of the order over age fifty five.
 Every jurisdiction having deaths in { ages fifty-six and over is entitled to i draw from the guaranty fund the amount of the deficiency per each $1, 000; therefore all Jurisdictions having old
 members will participate in the guaran- l ty fNnd. This will be of great benefit to i the order in this state as we shall be 1 enabled to draw considerable sum for each death over age fifty-five, thereby decreasing the number of our assess ments for current deaths.
 | A guaranty fund assessment will be Icalled whenever a call is made for a beneficiary fund assessment upon all
 members to age of fifty-five, after which no guaranty fund assessments will be lcalled. Jurisdictions or members that select the classified rate plan will pay both beneficiary and guaranty assess ments on the classified rate plan. Juris- dictions or members that select the level rate plan will pay both beneficiary and guaranty assessments on the level rate lplan.,

DIAz AND HIS ARMY.

If Put to the Test the Hurdles Would
 Win Worlds Admiration.
 Most Americans if asked to tell the strength of the Mexican army would voice the general opinion that it consis- ted of a few thousands and of the ir- regular, nondescript sort so common in Iatin-American states. Turn to some year almanac, however, and one finds that the peace strength is forty thou- sand; that fifty thousand men, trained regular soldiers, most of them veterans, are available at a fortnight's notice, and one hundred thousand would be ready in another two weeks. The Uni ted States is supposed to have no more than fifty thousand men at command.
 The military strength of the army of any nation is not to be judged by the mere count of a few thousands one way or the other, but by the condition of s'fitness, as the English say, and in this light the facts concerning General Porfirio Diaz's very capable military support are worth knowing. <
 The importance of this iii the light of the attitude of the Mexican government [ AS t4lO lS llOt LO DS tOU highly estimated. Were the United States called upon some. morning to make the long-expected stand of force in defense of that doctrine the strongest support which it would get in North or South America would come from the republic beyond the Rio Grande, which has been taking strides to the fore as a power in the last ten years. l&sE. @-.
 President Diaz in his message to con- gress six years ago pledged himself and \ ministry to the unqualified support ot the policy that forbade further territo- rial aggression by old world powers ir the western continent. It is long look to the fore to behold i'll Canada, British Honduras, Guiana, Jamaica, etc., sev. ereign states but that so great mar as Porfirio Diaz should look for this gives an adequate conception of his at- z titude in case the Monroe doctrine was tested. Should it ever be, that hard riding, straight-shooting and fearless corps, the rudales of Mexico, would wir the admiration of the world. How much it behooves those most interested in this country's welfare to take these things into account!-Denver Republi- can. t. ?"

 Speeding of automobiles faster than twelve miles an hour, the speed regu- lated by law in the city limits, has got to stop, according to an edict issued by Chief Wrinn, of the police department, yesterday. t# ''''
