 Qualified for Place.
 The Baldwin airship will henceforth make ascensions here every two or three days when the weather is pleasant until the end of November, performing all sorts of revolutions above the expo sition grounds. and making trips to neiRhborine towns It Is acknowledged bv the exposition authorities to have fully qualified for a place among the contestants for the s1O00oo prize, which VII be hotly disputed during the great aarona,1tlc contests Of November. Three other dirigtble balloons the Benbow, E.raneofs and Reynolds. of much larger size and entirely different patterns, are already here and will make ascensions as soon as the gas-g generating plant Is in working order. The Baldwin airship will not wat for that time. but will con- tinue generating its own hyarogen gas by the vitrsol method.
 Besides the dirigible balloons the Avery aeroplane is to make trial glides daily morning and afternoon from this time forward in the plaza of St. Louis, and the Baden-Powell man-lifting kites are to be opernted a little later on, so that the air sip of St. Louis will be more abundantly and adversely navigated dur ing the coming five weeks than that of any part of the world has ever been in an equal space of time.
 Substantial evidence of the real diri- gibility of ?. properly constructed aerial craft, even under diverse conditions have already been furnished; and MT. Bald win himself recognizes that some Of his rivals have hit upon principles or which he has never made use that are nothing less than epoch-making contributions to the aeronautc art
 It is extremely probable that the dem onstratiohs now being made at the Worlds Far will mark the beginning of a new epoch of serious and practical aerial navigation. The pioneers in this field suffer great disadvantages from the difficulty of getting competent workmen and the necessity of putting up with relatively crude and unsatisfactory me- chanical appliances. As the mechanism is perfected, through the lessons of ex- perience and by the subventions sure to come from the great moneyed interests when the business value of the idea and the entire feasibility of it's practical ap- pication shall have been generally rec ognlzed. the airship will become more and more safe and efficient, and will pass rapidly from the position of sci entific toy end popular wonder of use full means of transportation.

FORTUNE IN A PILLOW CASE.
How Mrs. Leonard Saved Thousand
 of Dollars From Moulded Notes.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 The money counters in the U. s. treas ury were startled one day by the appear anee of a remarkable looking fiat man" who entered the department and told a strange tale. He said he was an Ohio farmer and did not believe in banks, and so had buried his money in the ground for safe keeping. He had dug 1t up, and was mortified to find that it was slowly turning to dust, as notes will when long buried. Panic-stricken, he gathered the dlsntegratetd money into an old pillow case, bound 1t around his waist beneath his clothes and started for Washington. He travelled part of tho way by train. During the journey he never once took off the pillow case. He even slept with it on. The officials of the treasury department found 1t difficult to make him part with it. He did not want to go with a clerk to hotel for fear the clerk might rob him. but 1t was mani festly impossible for him to disrobe in the office he had finally to submit. They got the money at last, and the condition of 1t was so bad that Mrs. Leonard had to be called to decipher 1t. So great was her skill that the farmer lost only Q few hundred dollars out of $19.000.

 New York, October 22.-Revelations which clearly belong within the realm of romance, but which possess elements that bear induoitable evidences of au- sthenticity, are contained in a remarkable story written by Dr. Wolf von Scher- brand, the German author.
 Dr. von Schierbrand says that a long lost daughter of Kuropatkin, the great Russian general, who was supposed to have drowned in the Neva river, is in reality living in retirement and under the protection of religious order in the United States
 It was in consequence of an appeal made to Dr. von Sehierbrand by Mother M. Joseph Hartwell, of the Five Wounds, superintendent general of the Mission Helpers of the Sacret Heart. that he wrote the story. Mile. Kuropatkins fa- ther believes her dead.
 Strong intimations are made that the present czar was in love with the young Russian girl who Is said to be remark ably beautiful, highly accomplished, and exceedingly intellectual
 The mother of Mile Kuropatkn, ac- cording to Dr. Schierbrand died sudden ly while travelling in this country. It is hinted that her death was brought about III loul manner benerdl huropdlkil afterward married a titled Russian wom- an who was his wife's closest friend.

 It was made to appear that she met her death in the Neva, and q plot was laid evidently with her appreciation, by which she was spirited out of Russia and to the United States. General KuropatSin who was absent from home, was not In the plot.

LOSES ON TROUSERS.
Louisville Tailor Disconnected When
 Giant Is Attracted by Sign.

Louisville, Ky-R Funston, a tailor, has forsworn the exhibition of freak" signs. at least when there is any chance of repetition of a recent experience.
 MT. Funston called in a sign painter and after a whispered consultation the painter departed to return in a few days carrying an elaborately decorated 'tri- umph of the sign painters art This was soon posted in conspicuous part of the window and read
 Trousers. $1B leg; seats free; over coats at similar reductions.
 The sign caught the eye of several GUS toners and MT. Funston was performing all sorts of gymnastic gyrations in an effort to pat himself on the back until 10. J. Hansford q giant grocery drummer of the central part of the state, stepped into MT. Hunston's store.
 MT. Hansford tips the scale at 26C pounds and three tape measures are nee essary to span the length of his seven feet one inch. Stepping up to MT. Hun ston, MT. Hansford said:
 Just measure me right quick for a pair of those seat-free' trousers
 The tailor instantly lost his composure and was able to do little moro than gasp for few seconds. Finally summonins his courage he shouted for an assistant: Bring three tape measures and assist me in measuring this man. About a pound of chalk will be necessary. No, you needn't stand on the pedestal. Mr. Hans- ford"
 Silence for a moment and then the tailor began shouting the figures:
 Legs, sixty-one inches. It will cost us g to make up that leg'
 When MT. Funston figured it out he dis covered that 1t would cost just $480 to make the trousers, and he was beginning to feel that he was getting off easy, when Mr. Hansford said
 T guess I'll take one of those s1s.50 overcoats. Can you have the clothes ready in a weekr'
 The pieces of that sign now cannot be found with an eighteen inch telescope.
