Airship a Succcss.

AT last we have the airship. On
May 8. n new one in France sailed nine
miles and back in a brisk wind and
performed many aerial evOlutions, such
as circling around the cathedral spire.
1t is not unlikely that airships will
soon be made in job lots of 100 or more
and that light freight of great value
will soon be transported through the
air.
This Is sad news to the ''Stand-pat-
ters." who believe it is sin to trade
across national boundary lines and
that every country should be surround
ed by a wall of fire. as one of them
put it. With airships crossing and
recrossing national boundary lines at
all hours of the day and night and
regardless of custom houses and off

probably sold abroad at One-half the
home price-minus the high tariff duty,
which all good protectionists are anx-
ious to pay? We shudder ut the con-
sequences. If airships are allowed to
roam unmolested and are not absolute
ly restrained it is easy to prophesy
more smuggling. in the near future
than was ever dreamed of by our
army officers in Porto Rico, in their
palmiest ''rough-house" days.
No, airships must never be permitted
to sail in our bOundless ETHEREAL main

must never know the taste of free
trade gOods-if the trusts can help it,
Gently, but firmly. as Senator Allison

Pedigree to Order.

There is a shop in Fifth avenue
which sells pedigrees and coats-of-
arms to those people who have been
too busy making money to keep their
genealOgies posted up to date. In
leaving your order for a pedigree you
simply tell your name and as much Of
the family history as you remember.
If you happen to know in what parish
or community in the European
country your grandfather was born it
gives easy sailing. The shop contains
a complete history Of surnames in all
the principal European countries.
After your family is located and
traced as far back as possible the
ingenious maker Of pedigrees gets to
work on the coat-of-arms. He pitches
on the most picturesque or notable
thing done by "a forefather," and
then makes a device of -. Thus. if
some one Of your long-planted fore
fathers has marched with Peter the
Hermit, he will rig up something like
a cross eclpsing the crescent. You
get your steel die with this thing cut
into it and a neatly written pedigree.
When you leave the shop you are a
duly anolnted member of the elect.

Not long afterward, consent was

graciously granted, on condition that
his majesty should be notified of the

When the duellists arrived on the

the meaning of this, and was
astonished when the emperor gravely

antidote to the sentimental railyard

long the great London periodicals be-
gan to praise the book, and it soon be-
came the craze of literary circles. In
the midst of these laudations and be-
fore it had brought him any pecuniary
reward, sudden death overlook its
author.
Frank Norris was born in Chicago.
He lived there until the age OF fifteen
when he went to California where his
remaining seventeen years were
passed. He was in creed
realist, though the bent of
ais genius was for romanticism.
A thesis he had written as post grad
uate exercise at Harvard, was four
years later developed into a novel call
ed McTeague, his first notable work.
This Mr.. Howelrs styles a personal
epic"
| Norris took lola for his master, and
with Zola's famous trilogy in mind, he
planned a trilogy of his own whose
| reading motive and symbol should be
wheat, the great agricultural product
J OF his adopted state. His dealings
with gold, that other California prod
uct, were also Renaissance of Zola's
L,argent. And yet Norris was a strik-
ingly original writer, to whom the crit
| les say Zola's influence did more harm
than good
The Octopus, the first part of the
Norris trilogy, describes the grip of
the railroads on the California farmers.
Mr.. Howells says it shows a Homeric
largenesS in the play of it's moving
passions. 1t is remarkable novel of
the intense realistic school, but those
who have read the MS. of The Pit. the
second part of the trilogy which trans
ports the wheat to Chicago, pronounce

authors most powerful descriptions is
devoted to a gigantic attempt to cor
ner the wheat markets of the world.
The third part of the trilogy which
would have carried the wheat to Eu-
rope for distribution, was never writ
ten.
Mr. Norris returned to California
from New York where he had been
to revise the proof sheets of The Pit,
intending to embark with his wife on a
sailing vessel for a voyage around the
world. The state of her health pre-
vented, and they settled down on a.
ranch for the winter. In the midst Of
robust health, high hope and promise,
Frank norris was cut down by mex
orable death. He was a strong, orig
inal essayist as we'll as a novelist. and
his untimely departure is a serious
loss to American literature

mourn the loss of two gifted writer's
whose sun had not yet reached its

author of he House of the Green

He cared but little for the new books,
and among the old authors, had an ex-

Shakespeare. He would break his
babitual silence to talk for hours on
this faVOrite theme. One of his i'm

a written note, with few friends as
listeners, was pronounced by them a
most profound and original exposition
of Shakespeare's masterpiece. 1t was

prohibition will not be introduced

although a majority of fully 10000 of
the total votes cast yesterday were in
favor OF bringing into effect what is
known as the liquor act of 1892. The
total votes secured by the prohibi-

total OF $4,000 required to make the
act effective. In the majority of the
constituencies only about one-third
OF the average vote was cast. In
