SAVED BY PANAMA HAT.

Santos Dumont's Panama saved his life last week. During one of his ex- cursions in the air the motor of his airship emitted sparks, and a tiny flame crept up along the apparatus. threa tening to ignite the delicate fiber of the balloon. hTe spectators watched horror stricken.
 Perceiving the danger Santos eoolly leaned out of the basket, smothered the flame with his Panama, and continued his trip as if nothing hadShappened-
 The possibilities foresfia dowed by Santos daily balloonf outings. and the plans of the Lebaudy aeronauts tn make similar trips about Paris. fill with concern Police Prefect Lepine and the so-called octroi. or municipal GUS toms. authorities. whose duty it is to collect a tax on produce and other ar ticles brought into the city.
 reflect Lepine already has life saving dogs bicycle and automobile corps Of police but so far has no aeronaut corps to regulate the speed.s of balloons or keep them on the right side of the at-, mosphere. q

 The problem of novelties in enter tainment seems to have been solved by the Duchess d'Uzes, when a day last week. after breakfast. she treated her guests to a series of balloon ascen- sions. The guests enjoyed this greatly all except one aged man who declined to go up.-Paris Dispatch.

YEARS. WORK
FOR PIONEER
Good Showing Made
at the Big
Mill.

The stockholders of the Pioneer Mil
Company held largely attended meet
ing Saturday at the Office of HackfelC
e. Co, heard reports and elected Off
GERS. The affairs of the estate were
shown to be in good condition. The
| officers elected were: ]. F. Hackfeld
president: H. A. Isenberg, vice~pres.
! ident; w. Pflotenhauer, treasurer; F.
Klamp, secretary; A. Haneberg, audi
! tor
I The annual report of the manager
shows that the crop for 1901-1902
amounted to a total of 1860 tons of
sugar, harvested from about 1900
| acres. The milling commenced in
| November, 1901, and was completed
in May, 1902. The manager reports
further that the electrical pumping
plant driven by water power from Ho-
nokawai stream will shortly be in
operation.
Tunneling for mountain water has
proved to be a splendid success. The
last measurement of the Kauaula Tun-
mel, on February 14th, shows a length
of $50 feet and in this comparatively
short tunnel a steady flow of 4,325, 900
gallons in "a hours had then been de-
veloped measured by weir.
The crop now being taken off (Sea-
SON 1902-1903) will reach the original
estimate of $4,000 tons, although 100
acres of plant cane more than antici-
pated have been used for seed The
present crop is being harvested from
LOO acres of plant cane and 400 acres
ratoons, total 2,100 acres, which gives
an average yield of seven tons of SUI
gar per acre This result shows a
marked improvement over last years
average yield. There was planted (for
Season of 1903-1904; 1000 acres, which
in addition to 800 acres ratoons will
give crop of about 10000 tons of SUI
gar. This years planting (for Season
1904-1905) will be commenced about
May LIST.
About 1000 acres more will be plant
ed, and there will be about 1000 acres
of ratoons to take off for 1904-1905,
the crop for which season is estimated
at 10000 tons.

INCREASE IN WEALTH.
Unusual Growth in the Tidewater Of
Virginia Section.

A glance through the Industrial Stats.
tics OF the United States VIII show that
since that time there have been many
extraordinary improvements noted In the
Southern States along industrial and other
lines, which have added materially to the
which have made growth little short Of

both sides of the James River, including
tho Hampton Roads country, has been
particularly fortunate In the period men
to more than 500 per cent In this I'M
usual development 1t is argued the rail-
roads have played an important part.
Not until 1852 was there a railroad down
the peninsula from Richmond to the sea.
In that year, however, the Chesapeake

DEATH OF MR.. cHEsTERMAN.

In the death of Mr.. Edwin Bruce Ches-
terman, the city loses a good citizen and
the newspaper profession a most valuable
member. Mr.. Chesterman was one OF the
best all-round newspaper men IN the
State. He had the journalistic instinct.
He knew what was news and he knew
how to write the news in such a way
us to bring out all the points and make 1t
attractive to the reader. He was one Of
the most ntrutrIous news gatherers Rich
mond ever knew When he went after a
public man for piece Of information
he was sure to get It, He was never off,
cous or offensive. but he was Irresistible.
More than all, he was conscientious, accu-
rate and reliable He did not take things
for granted. He made 1t n point to verify
his reports, as far as possible, and when
he made a positive statement in print,
it could be depended upon.
He excelled as a correspondent Of OUT
of-town newspapers, which work was his
speciality, and his letters were always en-
tertaining and instructive. Several years
ago when polltlcal excitement ran high
in Virginia. the letters Of Bruce" We're
always read with intense interest, as they
contained more information and more In
tellgent comment than the writings of
were unique. and they gave Mr.. Chester
man a Statewide reputation.
Nj Chesterman did what his hands
found to do and did it WELL No matter
what he undertook. he did his task con-
scientiously. and he dlgnifled the profess
sion to which he belonged. His death Is
deeply regretted by his brethren.

A SCIENTIFIC WOMAN.

One woman who is just now very much
in the public eye is Madame CurIe, wife
of Professor Pierre Curie who is incum-
bent of the chair of physics in the Uni
versity of Paris, In collaboration with
her husband Madame has been
making Investigations of radioactive
substances for the last four years, and
hns made known the wonderful proper
ties OF radium and nolonium. She is of
Polish descent, and was born in 1867. In
1891 she went to Paris and prosecuted her
studies al the university there. where in
time she received her masters degree in
physics and mathematics. She was mar
ried to Professor Curie In 1895, and has
been Of great assistance to him in the
prosecution Of his work,
