5000 Feet.

San Jose, Cal, July 19.-Daniel Ma
loney, who had made numerous success
full ascensions with Prof. Montgomery s
aeroplane, fell 5000 feet to his death at
Santa Clara Tuesday. Maloney made an
ascension from the grounds OF Santa
Clara college in honor of the League Of
the Cross cadets, who are holding their
annual encampment. About 1000 per-
sons watched with interest the machine
as 1t shot upward from the college gar
den attached to a huge balloon. At q
height of 1000 feet Maloney cut loose
and began maneuvering the aeroplane.
He sailed gracefully about, then essayed
deep dip. Suddenly the machine
swerved and then turned completely
over. 1t righted itself, sank down con-
siderable distance and turned over
again. Maloney was clinging desperate
ly to his seat, and evidently endeavor-
ing to regain his control, but all his ef-
forts were in vain.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 19.-No ad-
vices, either from this country or from
abroad, have reached President Roose-
welt which would warrant, even by in
direction, a pessimistic view of the re-
suit of the forthcoming peace confer
ence between the plenipotentiaries Of
Russia and Japan. On the contrary, it
can be said that such advices as the
president has received indicate that a
sincere effort on the part of the repre-
sentatives of both belligerent nations
will be made to reconcile their differ
ences and negotiate treaty of peace
that will be permanent.

fact that the department is merely a
servant of congress and expends an.

dams and reservoirs at the headwaters
and submit such report to congress.
The board will be directed to ascertain
if the dams are at present menace to

An Irish "GintIeman" {"

Many were the stories of the Civil
War told by the late Confederate Cen
eral Longstreet, but none of them was
fuller of pathos and humor than his
"reminiscences of Private Pat Doolen.
1t was this Doolen, says the New
York Times, who, having been regaled
with buttermilk and sweet potatoes
by withered old countrywoman
whose cabin he and his comrades had
encountered in struggling retreat
made his adieus with:
"An' how much do owe We ma'am?"
"Nothin' at all, honey, If you-all
amt got 1t convenient" was the hos
pitable reply, "and not many of the
boys has these days. I've got three
of my own with Stuart this minute, If
so be the Lord'es spared them"
AN sure" returned Doolen, quick
as flash, "if this isn't the identical
loidy as-the saints forgive me, but
his names slipped me moind the min
ute!-but he told me to be sure look
out for ye eff we come this way"
ut warn't Joe Davis, war it?" Gag.
erly suggested the innocent old wo-
man.
THE very same, to be sure, Pat
Doolen's mimory'll niver save his
soul! Joe sint his love to his mither
an tould me to be- sure to give her
this" He brought from his pocket a
bulky wallet. The old woman fell on
his neck with tears of joy.
AN me jes' a-prayin' the good
Lord would send me some word of
him, an somethin' to see me through
the next little while. That there din
ner we-all jes' eat was nigh the las
they war in sight" wept the unsus-
pecting woman.
Pat, you liar" said one of his com.
panions as they walked away, aren't
you ashamed to deceive a creduloue
old woman like that? Where do you
expect to go when you die? You don't
know any joe? Davis and you found
that wallet at Manassas"
"Who knows that bettern' mesilf?"
asked Pat. But she'll niver know,

she'll be ready to forgive twinty like
