ADVENTURE IN A BALLOON.
PARIS, July 3o.-Thousands witness
ed the most sensational event of the
week, the escape of the captive balloon
at Printanios Aerodrome at Porte Mail
lot Mrs. Elton an American, a boy and
eight other people who had assembled
in the balloon had the narrowest posi-
BILE escape from death.
During a tremendous windstorm that
broke suddenly the balloon was torn
from its moorings and went soaring
through space to a great altitude. Only
the courage and presence of mind of
the aeronaut in charge of the balloon
and OF his assistant saved the terrified
voyagers from being dashed to pieces.
The watching multitude saw the balloon
disappear in the clouds and reappear
later. Its temperance was due to the
action OF the aeronaut in opening the
upper valve OF the balloon and Sitting
the envelope. The balloonette, which
was kept under the balloon to keep it
steady. was also cut The Sitting of the
big silk bag caused it to take the form
of parachute and its rapid descent was
retarded. The balloon finally landed in
tree near Clichv and all the occupants
aighted safely, although badly fright
ened.
4 IRISH RESENTMENT.
| CHICAGO, July 3o.-Protests are
coming in from all sides against the
name given to the orang-outang at Lin
!, coin Park zoo, Miss Dooley. Patriotic
Irishmen in Chicago resent the selection
Of name so typical OF their race.
) Charles O'Malley, editor of the New
!, World. in an editorial in the current is
Sue, says:
1T is fact that caricaturists like
Mast, and, later. Opper, frequently place
ape faces on the pictures of Irish people.
In many American cities gorillas. orang-
outangs and other divisions of the mon
key family are given Irish names, be-
cause OF an alleged resemblance to the
Irish race. The practice is an insult to
every one with Irish blood in his veins.
Possibly those who are anxious to
. distinguish themselves might find some
thing worthy OF their best efforts out in
Lincoln Park. The case of Miss Dooley
, ought to be investigated and declara-
tons made which may result in change
OF that lady's name. Let her be named
Elizabeth Tudor, or Duchess of MARI
!, borough, or anything peculiarly English
if the Park Commissioners so desire;
but the Irish people surely must resent
her patronymic of Dooley. Personally,
we denounce this insulting intimation
that the Irish Countenance resembles the
face OF gorilla or orang- outang."
In an interview Mr. O'Alalley said &:
Such a thing stamp our race as one
OF very low order of intelligence, and
cannot see why the orang- outang was
called Miss Dooley unless that was a
slap at lrishmen,"
STRIKERS MOSTLY ALIENS.
CHICAGO, july 3I.-Of the 10000
striking meat butchers at the Union
stockyardS more than 1900 are of for
eign birth. Twelve thousand of these
are unskilled laborers. Their wages, at
, the minimum OF II I-2 cents per hour.
, average s.. 40 week. Single men live on
less than 81 a week, and in two years
Z save sufficient money for passage home.
Three thousand leave for home every
, year and their places are filled by other
immigrants. Few can speak English
: There are only 1000 voters in the colony,
| and great many of them do not intend
! to become Americanized The foreign
, colony includes Bohemians, Poles, Litll-
uanians and Slovaks. Their settlement
, is virtually city OF all nationalities
/ The 10000 men under consideration do
! not include the 1000 sympathetic strik-
; ers OF the allied trades. While most OF
the skilled laborers are native-born, a
: number OF early immigrants have attain
ed TO higher positions. The great bulk
: OF the laborerS take orders from their
bosses with the obedience of soldiers
1t is not their part to reason why heir
; English vocabulary may be limited, but
, they understand an oath, and the stock
yards has language OF its own.
