Professor LangIey's Flying Machine

Professor LangIey's Flying Machine
Professor S. P. Langleys new all
ship was towed down the Potomac
river from Washington on a house
boat to a secluded point on the lower
Potomac, where it will be given its
initial trial as soon as some few de
tails can be arranged.
Professor Langley was not in the
party that left on the houseboat, but
will go by rail to a point near the spot
selected for the test 1t is believed
that this will take place near Wide
water, Va, where the Potomac has {
width of five or six miles and is quite
shallow except in the channel.
Professor Langley, who is head OF
the Smithsonian institution, in plan
ming his airship, it is stated, studied
the movements of the buzzard and
tried to develop a machine that would
have strong pinions and would
be capable not only of soaring but OF
beating the air with one or both wings

The pope died shortly after o'clock
Monday afternoon. His last moments
were comparatively peaceful and pain
less and were preceded by period of
insensibility. Around the bedside at
the final moment were the cardinals,
the relatives and members of the papa
court.
Before lapsing into unconsciousness
the dying pontiff feebly moved his lips,
his last articulate words being used in
bestowing a benediction.
Gradually the shadow of death
spread over the pontiff; his extremities
became cold; his features assumed
the fixed rigidity of death and Dr. Lap
poni noted his last fluttering heart
beats, which gradually became slower
and slower until they finally stopped.
The news of the pope's death spread
rapidly throughout Rome and caused
most profound sensation. The whole
city is in mourning.

Sunday each hour added to the
gravity of the reports from the sick
room of the pontiff until all Rome
waited almost breathlessly in expecta-
tion of the announcement Of his death
After the state of depression which
seized the pope during the latter part
of the night, his condition went stead
lily downward and throughout the day
tie most intense anxiety prevailed.
For the first time also, the weather
was strongly against him. A blister
ing heat fell upon the city and the
great piazza of st. Peters took up
the fierce sun and threw it back
against the Vatican until it was like
a fiery furnace.
The pope had spent a restless night,
sleeping only at short intervals and
even then his sleep was agitated. DR..
lapponi remained in the sick room
throughout the night. At the morn
inJ conference the physicians noted
distinct change for the worse, partic-
ularly in the accelerated pulse which
had risen to 9S after remaining for
many days between SO and 80.

Who have gone from the town or the

To run with the swift, to fight with the

The Old North State sends greetings;
And bids them now come home.

Come back while yet We may,
Come back to the land that gave we birth,
And tread the dearest spot on earth,
In the old familiar way:

AN HUNRDED THOUSAND NORTH
CAROLINIANS.

The North Carolina Reunion at Green's
boro on the 18th and 18th of October
will be notable, not only because thous-
ands of North Carolinians living in 9th
e. States viii return to attend the re-
union, but because thousands of people
living in this State will go to Green's
bcro on that occasion. Letters already
received indicate that very many North
Carolinians residing elsewhere viii come.
Let an hundred thousand home folks be
there to greet them and welcome them
back to the old home. If only a few
hundred should come from outside the
State, the coming together of our own
people with the purpose of inaugurating
a movement for keeping in touch with
whatever forces we send into the national
life of this country, and with the pur-
pose of building up greater North
Carolina at home, would fully Justify the
efforts made by Greensboro and the peo-
pie of the State.

who went from North Carolina, between
1910 and 1850 Most of them went from
Guilford and Randolph counties, and they
will be returning to their old home when
they attend the Reunion at Greensboro
purpose to attend that nearly all the
North Carolina Friends will be there to
give welcome to their brethren. This
will give the Reunion to them the social
side of Yearly Meeting
North Carolina will be glad to welcome
back home representatives of its sterling
old Quaker stock The State has had and
has no truer sons than members of the
Society of Friends-those who remain with
us and those who have made homes in
other States. This has been true since
the first settlement of Quakers in Per

GEN. RANSOM TO PRESIDE.

The people of North Carolina-those
who live in the State and those living in
other States who will attend the Re-un-
ion, rejoiced when it was announced
few days ago that Hon. Matthew Whit
aker Ransom had accepted the invitation
of the committee to act as master of cere-
monies at the North Carolina Reunion
at Greensboro on the 18th and 18th of
October.
He is the man of all living North
Carolinians to welcome back home those
natives of the State residing elsewhere
who will attend the Reunion. For near
Iy a quarter of a century, as United
States Senator, he not only represented
his constituents, but also represented par
ticularly North Carolinians in every por-
ton of the Republic. During his long ser
vice in the Senate he had occasion to
serve thousands of North Carolinians in
other States and won their gratitude by
lis abiding interest in fellow tar heels
at home and abroad.
For half a century, in peace and in
war, General Ransom has been a leading
spirit in North Carolina. Devoted in MS
love for his native State, he has always
responded to every call upon his patriot
ism. Eloquent beyond any North Caro-
linian now living, he will voice the love
the old State hears TO every son whose
life has been spent in other surroundings,
