Cowles Is Unfortunate.

Washington is still talking very ser
 ously over the disaster of the Missouri Captain Cowles, the commander, being brother-in-law of the president and hay- ing been not long ago the target of d naval court inquiry concerning his con- duct in connection with the collision of the Missouri and the Illinois, naturally comes in for no little critical comment Certainly i'll luck seems to pursue this officer, for the records of the navy de- partment show that he was in charge of the Dispatch went she went to smash or the Assateague Shoals in 1901, whio headed fer Washington to carry the president, the secretary of the navy and other persons of importance to the ar morplate trials at Annapolis. Cowles vessel ran aground about mile from the beach and he with his crew had a mar row squeak for their lives. The court exonerated Captain. then Lieutenant Cowles, finding that the loss of his yes sel was due to the Assateague light be- ing mistaken for the Winter Quarter Shoal Lightship's light, but the court al- SO found that Lieutenant Cowles had fail. cd to comply with some of the regula- : tions of the navy. The horror of this re- cent accident in a time of peace has hn- questionably cast a gloom over the White House.

Frank French Count.

Another remarkable, who is said to be contemplating a decent on Washington societY Is the Count Alphonse de Campau who has been threading for some time the labyrinths of Chicago. The Count is one of the frankest trenehmen that has ever honored this pleoelan country with his county presence. lie says he is looking for a wife, but IS particular about the style She must not only have an income of $500o0 year In order to keep up properly his estate near Toulouse of which, for many years, the management has been like that city, pot she must have tall graceful figure eyes of azure and hair of gold Possibly, II she has more than s5000o year, he might dispense with the hair of gois.' but the eyes of azure are sine qua non and the graceful figure just as in- despensable as the other five figure or an- nual income. The count is rumored to be a distant relative of Dan Campau, the famous democratic war horse, of Mlehi- gan, and this is very likely true, Tor nc keeps at distance. De Campau, any
 way. is a fine old French name and the frankness of it's present wearer may com mend him to Washington favor

Seth Bullock Is Picturesoue.

Seth Bullock has been delghting cer-
 tain very select circles and talking not a
 little to his friend Roosevelt and others who knew him when he was the first
 sheriff of Deadwood, S. D.. and when the horse thieves and professional terrors of the Black Hills region arrived speedily at conclusion that there were safer places for them to live in. Seth is not so ready now to discuss the little encounters that he had with certain big
 shooters in the olden days. He tries to steer conversation away from the incl
 dents of that Homeric epoch, when Roosevelt was a plain plainsman and he
 and "Roose' were jolly good Chums. He prefers to dilate nowadays on the Black Hills Forest Reserve. of which he is the Federal Superintendent. or occasionally throw a whistling lasso of his tongue l over some of the enemies or critics of the Roosevelt administration, for Bullock thinks that Roosevelt, his old friend of the Bad Lands, Is even better fellow 1 than he was before he arrived at his pre-
 sent state of constant elevation. Bullock, though he can be rough with the rough
 and tough with the tough. knows how 10
 conduct himself in cultivated society,
 and when rigged out in fashionable ap-
 parel except for his rather strenuous l militant. melodramatic mustache, would
 not impress chance observer with any | suspicion that he had been an active
 sheriff in one of the most lurid localities l of the rndeVeoped west Having lived so l much in the saddle, however, his gait
 when he walks and the deep tan of his
 complexion marks him as a plansman l Apart from that, the only thing that hints l of his habitat is Montana hat. But 1 then, one sees a great many similar hats 1 worn in Washington by people who do
 not hail from Deadwood. It Is not true
 that the ex-sherff has over fifty notchcs
 on his gun. Bullock says that in pursuit
 of his duty and self defense. he was com pelled to kill only two men--in his lingo,
 send them over the range"-but these two, like Falstaff's men in buckram. have 1 leen increasing in number ever since the
 newspapers began to chronicle his eX- poits and build up his reputation. When at home he spends more than half the
 day in the saddle with fourteen assist ants In winter and about double that
 number In summer, who patrol dis trict of 70 miles by 70 with a content Of a million and a half acres of timber land Since he has became superintendent no considerable forest fire has occurred and, altholugh as much timber Is being cut as
 ever. it is being cut scientifically. so that
 the timber is reproducing itself and a
 hundred years hence or perhaps fifty.
 there will be just as much as now. If anybody wants to tease Seth. there Is
 one point where he Is open; all you have to do is to ask him about his friend Calamity Jane. Then he gets mad. But he doesn't stay mad very long.

Men of Genius.

Erom the New York World,
 Iiavelock Ellss studies or the origin and habits of the British men of genius show that most came from business life many from good families" so called and few from the clerical profession. Of 103 men of eminence in ten centuries thirteen were the sons of carpenters, five of shoemakers, five of weavers and four of blacksmiths Browning's father wds d clerk, and so was Bradlaugh's; Tur- ner's was a barber, Carlysle's was a ma son, Huxleys was a schoomaster, keate' a livery stable man, knoxs a peasant. Wolseys a grazier and Whitfeld's an inn keeper.
 Men of genius are long-lved Of these on Mir. Ellis list more died between siXty-five and seventy-fve than in any other period. Those living beyond seY- enty-five numbered 23O and those beyond eighty 130 and twenty lived past ninety.

CIRCUS FOLK HEAR SERMON.
Barnum & Bailey Chaplain Breaches to
 Freaks and Performers.

From the New York Times.
 The midgets, the giant, the bearded lady. the missing link, the dog-faced boy. the sword-swallower, and many of the circus folk who can earn their l1v- ing not because they are freaks, but because they are very nearly perfect physically, attended service Sunday morning in the freaks room at the Madison Square Garden.
 The odd congregation listened rever- ently to sermon of some length. These circus people, who risk their lives daily, are as a rule devout, and this is particularly true of the human curiosities, who lead a life part from
 leir fellow-creatures. The service was conducted by the Rev. w. A. Sneak, who on weekdays is the lec- turer on the various wild animals.
 The preacher chose for text John XIV, II: q am tho Resurrection and the Life" His sermon dealt with the promise of future life and the reality of hell as well as a heaven. It was most probable, he said, that those who went to hell would be more comfort able than they would in heaven. They would be with their own friends. Men who could not be dragged to church would not be content in a place of perpetual rayermeetings.
 At the end of his sermon MT. Sneak prayed for the safety of the company on its long journeyings, its preserva- tion from railroad disasters and acci- dents in the ring. Before pronouncing the benediction he said he did not see why circus people should not be just as good Christians as anybody else, and asked that they be regular in their attendance at worship. When he came down from the platform many of the circus people crowded about him just as other people do in church when they are pleased with their minister, shook his hand, thanked him and said they wished to be considered as members oI his congregation.

ODD SENSATIONS
Experienced in an Airship Described d
 By Sartos-Dumont.

From My Airshps.
 My first impression of aerial naviga- tion was l confess, surprise to feel the airship going straight ahead. It was astonishing to leel the wind in my face In spherical balooning we go with the wind and do not feel it. True, 2 in rising and descending the spherical balloonist feels the friction of the at mosphere, and the vertical oscillation makes the flag flutter; but in the hori- zonta movement the ordinary balloon seems to stand still while the earth flies past under it.
 As my airship plowed ahead, the wind struck my race and futtered my coat as on the deck of a transatlantic liner, though in other respects it will be more accurate to liken aerial to river navigation with a steamboat It is not like sa.. navigation, and all talk about "tacking" is meaningless If there is any Wina at all, it is in given direction, so that the analogy with a river current is complete When there is no wind at all, re may liken it to the navigation ol a smooth lake or pond. 1t will be well to understand this matter.
 Suppose that my motor and propeller push me through the air at the rate of 20 miles an hour l am in the position of steamboat captain whose propeller is driving him up or down the river al the rate of 20 miles an hour Inn agine the current to be 10 miles an hour If Ee navlgates against the cur rent he accomplishes 10 miles an hour with respect to the shore, though he has been travelling at the rate of 20 miles an hour through the water If he goes with the current, he accom- p.shes 30 miles an hour with respect to tho shore. though he has not been going any faster through the water. This is one of he reasons why it is so

difficult to estimate the speed of an airship.
 It is also .--e reason why airship captains will always prefer to navigate for their own pleasure in calm weather, and, when they find an air current against them, will. steer obliquely up- ward or downward to get out of it. Birds do the same thing. The sailing yachtsman whistles for fair breeze, without which he can do nothing; but the river steamboat captain will always hug the shore to avoid the freshet, and will time his descent of the river by the outgoing rather than the nicom- ing tide. We airshipmen are steam boat captains and not sailing yachts men.

 Much Interested A PICTURESQUE FIGURE Seth Bullock Former Sheriff of Dead wood, Is Close Friend of Pres ident Roosevelt, and a We'll
 Known Character.
A PICTURESQUE FIGURE
BY w. T. MANNING.

Washington April 23-.The bold effort of Merrimac Hobson, as Capt. Richard r. of Spanish War fame is familary called, to wrest the nomination for congress in the Sixth Alabama district from Repre- sentative John H. Bankhead, has excited great deal of interest in social as well as political circles. But then, all circles in Washington are con- centric in politics. The fact that the gallant young captain has come so near to supplanting Bankhead, lacking only a few hundred votes, of course has added to the interest, although pretty hears don't count in Washington as pretty dears do. l have known Bankhead a great many years, in exac; fact twenty, my first acquaintance with him being when when he was warden of the Ala bama penitentiary, a post he took in 1881 and held till 1885. He got elected to the fiftieth congres and has been contin- pously returned. I was employed to ir- vestigate the conditionof the convicts under Bankheads administration and was greatly impressed then with. his humanity and his executive ability. It is not generally known to the country for Bankhead is a quiet man and neither blows his own trumpet nor encourages others to do it for him, that he has been even more of a fighting man than the young captain who came so near beating him for the nomination. Bankhead serv- ed four years as private in the Confed- crate Army on a regular diet of parched corn, coffee. pork scraps and pone, with an occasional chicken when they did mt roost too high or his superior off, ceEs didn't get there before him. He came out of the war with three wounds and has been a first rate specman of a patriotic American ever since. Hobson l know too, and agree with the general feeling in Washington that, whereas his record as a naval constructor and officer Is highly ereditable, the fact of his speca- cular performance at Santiago hardly entitled him to be the choice of the vot- CTS in the Sixth Alabama District ln preference to a man like Bankhead, a veteran who has demonstrated his fitness for legislative life.
