willie, Ohio.
Greenville, o.. Septe. Professor
Baldwin, . well known Indiana aero
naut, was blown to pieces high in the
air yesterday while making q balloon
ascension. His wife and children were
in the great crowd which witnessed
the accident.
Many Of the $4,000 persons who
went to the fair ground were At
tracted by the announcement thar
Professor Baldwin would make q bal
loon ascension and from the highest
altitude let loose in the air . wonderful
display Of fireworks and dynamite
bombs.
Professor Baldwin had been giving
as he had done at other county fairs
in Ohio and Indiana during the sum-
mer. Preparations for his ascension
his airship scared aloft the crowd
cheered and every neck was craned to
watch his performance. The balloon
rose rapidly. When 1t had reached an
altitude Of about 1900 feet q great
cloud of smoke suddenly hid the afr.

bombs had exploded simultaneously
and an instant later fragments OF the
balloon and the body of the aeronaut
fell to the earth. Then a groan of hor-
ror rose from the multitude. The air
ship had vanished. Searchers imme-
diately began looking for fragments OF
the wrecked airship.
A half mile away they found pieces

naut had been perched. Scattered
about q twenty-acre field were found
fragments Of Baldwin's body. The dis.
tance at which the airship fell was 80
great that the crowd had not seen tho
fragments fall. It Is supposed that In
igniting the fuse connected with the
dynamite he fred the gas in the bal
loon and that 1t exploded, causing the
dynamite to explode also.
Mrs. Baldwin. who with their chill.

screamed when she saw the smoke
and rushed In the direction in which
the wind had carried her husband. Be.
fore the crowd realized what had hap.
pened she had fallen in faint.
Professor Baldwin Is said to have
taken part in the Spanish h-American
war as balloonist and his exhibition
was supposed to illustrate how he ma.

carries twenty-five pounds Of dynamite
and explosives.
Professor Baldwin was about forty.

taken for burial
No trace has been found of a parrot
and monkey which made the ascension

WORK At THE IsTHMys.

Writing from the isthmus, staff
correspondent Of the New York Trib-
une, declares that the deepest cutting
required for sea level canal is thru
a hill onyl three hundred feet high,
composed. not of rock, to be blasted out,
but Of soft earth, which can be scoop
up ton or more at q time with steam
shovels. Nor is It generally under
stood, he says, how much Of value, in
work done and materials provided, this
country got from the French company
for the $40,000,000 which 1t paid. The
more the matter is studied, the more
economical and judioious appears the
bargain which was made.
1t is encouraging, too, to be remind
ed Of the amount of work that is be-
ing done at Panama, and of the thor
ough way in which it is being done.
We need not now dwell upon the mis-
takees that were made by the former
workers there in plan and methods and
execution. 1t Is sufficient to observe
that great mistakes were made, which
are now being carefully avoided, and
that the present work is being con-
Quoted with a painstalking thorough
ness which leaves only the minimum
margin for errors. The present direc-
tors Of the great work are not making
estimates. They are securing data for
estimates. But they are demonstrate
ing in the most convincing way that
former estimates erred chiefly in the
direction Of magnifyine, cost and time,
and they are giving, as our writer
shows, ground for lively hope that
the canal will be finished more prompt
ly and at less cost than most men have
hitherto ventured to expect.
The question of the plan of the canal
is one that must be decided in the near
future. Beyond doubt, sentiment in
favor of the sea level plan is strongly
growing. 1t would be too much to say
that the wisdom of 1t is already fully
demonstrated But the majority of
those who are nearest to the work and
who best understand it's conditions
and prospects seem to incline more and
more in that direction. De Lesseps
proposed such canal even at cost of a
shipp tunnel blasted thru mountain
of solid rock. Now II is seen that no
tunnel will be needed, but only 500
foot cut thru bark Of clay. The
enormous advantages Of such canal.
after it has been constructed. are too
obvious to REQUIRE comment. 1t Will

WAITING FOR JUSTICE.

Recent news dispatches noted the
settlement of a claim against the
United States that had been in litiga-
ton for a hundred years. The mere
fact that the claim was settled is Suf-
fcient evidence that it had justice be-
hind 1t and that something was justly
due to those who brought and urged it
But where are they and what Justice
can be granted them a century after
the claim was filed and probably more
than fifty years after they We're dead
and turned to clay?
A ten year old boy named Gagan
was hurt by a train at Cincinnati and
suit for damages instituted. His case
has just been remanded because he Is
now 81 years old and must sue in his
own name.
Twenty years ago a man named
Rudnik was hurt in Chicago. This was
In 1885. His case came before the
supreme court of Illinois last year and
the award of $4,000 damages was
confirmed. Perhaps there are ex-
IRENE cases but as the court record !,
will show they are only slightly extra
ordinary. Those who urge even just
claims against a state or powerful
corporation wait long for their dues.
While we are talking of amending
court procedure in criminal appeals,
amendment OF present practice in civil
suits like those referred to above? The
object of the law is justice, that of the
courts to enforce and administer the
law. 1t Is hard to see justice in pro-
cedure that keeps cripple waiting
twenty years for 100000 which the
courts have said was due him as COM
pensation for carelessly inflicted in
juries the day he was hurt. Outside
the cost of it's defence the defendant
company has not been mucted a cent.
The interest on the $4,000, which they
nave owed lne plalntl1L lOr twenty
years, has actually left it profit And
during all these years, what has the
cripple been doing?
In this country none should. be
obliged to wait ten, twenty or one hun
bred years for justice. Are the courts
becoming cumbersome? Is there cry
ing need of their reorganization, and
how is their delays to be remedied?

Paine, revamped and christened "sclen-
tilic."

Education in China is far different
from the intellectual process which is
associated with the term in America,
for in all but exceptional cases the
Chinese student aims only to enjoy the
honors and emoluments of otiiciai-
dom; knowledge for itself has no val
ue. Every three years ten thousand
or more students assemble in kun9-
chow for the official examinations.
These consist in large part of mere
Juggling with literature that has been
committed to memory and have little
relation to what we call knowledss.
One of the Chinese teachers told Il
representative of the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions that of the
10000 who take the examinations tri-
ennally. not more than one-third can
read unfamiliar matter and not more
than one fifth can understand what
they read.
When the examinations are in pro-
gress the town becomes veritable fair
ground The 10000 students are ac-
companed by $4,000 friends, merchants
etc, and the place is n human bee
hive, with a hundred people In every

deemed crowded with ten. The men
returning from the ordeal Of The OK
animation are languid and slow as they
pass thru the streets, laden with their
waste paper baskets. manuscript bags
lamps, fans, umbrellas and other i'm
pedimenta. and the newcomers hustle
about to find lodgings and get ready for
stores from Canton, and blue-curtaln
ed gambling houses from everywhere
occupy every available spot.
This gathering of the Educated"
affords an opportunity for the Amer
ican missionary to work with the class.
and the work takes, naturally, n much
different form from that followed in
other Chinese fields. Meetings held, as
described by a Presbyterian mission
ary resemble a debating society. The
room In which they are held is too
small for the purpose and hopes are
entertained that larger and more suit
able quarters may soon be obtained.
One hundred or more men crowd In
and the street outside is filled with
hundreds Of others, unable to find en-
trance except to take the places of
those who leave.
