HUMAN METEOR GIVES
THRILLING PERFORMANCE
WOMAN AUToMoBILIsT DAsHEs
THROUGH SPACE
Mile. MaurIcIa de Tiers, With Barnum
G. RaIIey's Circus, Hazards Her
Life In Perlous Flight Through
MldaIr-To Be Given Here

Sensation has followed sensation so
rapidly in the circus world that the
public is prepared to receive, without
incredulity, the announcement of the
most startling and seemingly impossi-
BILE feats.
The latest thriller is known as the
"auto- bolide' and has been made
known in America by the Barnum &
Bailey circus. 1t is Paris Importation.
Literally translated, the name "auto-
bolide" means the "auto meteor"
In its wild fight through the air it
is said to suggest nothing so much as
shooting star. The auto bolide is
the legitimate development of the
aerial bicycle sensation, but it is so
much more dangerous and is presented
on such an ambitious scale as to COM
pletely dwarf all previous efforts in
this line.
To present the act requires an i'm
mense amount of apparatus. The
framework which supports the run
ways is as high as three story build
ing. 1t is constructed of the finest
steel tubing and weighs many TONS
The general shape Of the apparatus
suggests the hump of buffalo.
At the apex is a small platform. One
side Of the steel framework supports an
incline that curves inward at its lower
extremity like the tail of monster
letter IS" The other section Of the
framework holds a curved runway that
begins, half-moon shape, forty feet in
air, and straightens out into an easy
incline as it approaches the ground.
Between the extreme end Of the "S'
and the second incline there is yawn-
ing chasm of forty feet. 1t is this gap
that the automobile must cross with
it's daring rider. And it must be ac-
complished with the machine literally
upside down.
For two-thirds the distance down the
incline the machine remains upright.
AS it strikes the loop Of the "S', how
ever, its position quickly becomes re-
versed and for distance of thirty feet,
although still following the curve Of the
incline, 1t is upside down.
1t is in that position when it leaves

Race Against the Watch
by Associated Press.

READVILLE, Mass, Sept. 22.-More
than 5000 enthusiastic followers of harness
racing saw Audubon Boy pace one or the
most wonderful miles ever made under
adverse conditions at the. Readville track
today. Time, 1:59A, equaling the record
Audubon Boy started to beat 2:00A.
Weather conditions favored record time,
but the protracted rain earlier in the week
left the track heavy The assistance OF

having distanced his pace-maker before
the half mile post was reached. In maxi
ing the trial for the record, James Y. Gal
fused to use a wind shield or to have a
running horse draw cart with canvas
attached between the wheels in the lead.
1t was a little after o'clock when
Audubon Boy tried for the record. The
first quarter was made in 29 seconds and
for the half mile :5712 seconds. When the
time was announced the crowd cheered.
The third quarter was reached in 1:2713
but before this It was seen that whatever
the time of the mile Audubon Boy would
have to make 1t entirely unasssted, the
-pace-maker then being 100 yards in the
rear. Galcomb did not make a stirring
drive at the finish and was 3l% seconds
coming the wire, making the time for the
mile 159A, just equaling Star Pointers $
time, and giving Audubon Boy that mark
inasmuch as his attempt was for the pur
nose of beating 2:00A.
AS a result of Audubon Boys perform
ance today a match between the east and
the west is considered probable. Audubon

YIDDISH PLAYERS LEAVE
BEST FOR THE LAST
JEWISH "kING LEAR" PRESENTED
AT THE BURBANK
Mr.. Gllckman In Title Role SustaIns
Character With Marvellous Firm
ness-other Members Of Company
Appear to Excellent Advantage

Glickman's Yiddish Players saved
their best offering for their last and 1t
proved well worth waiting for.
The bill yesterday at the Burbank
was the Jewish king Lear" modern
lied method of telling the world fam
GUS story of the unhappy monarch.
Instead of the main character being
a king he was a wealthy merchant.
Like king Lear" he had three
daughters and servant took the place
of the fool in the other version of the
remarkable tale.
King Lear" gives his entire worldly
possessions to his daughters and jour
neys to Jerusalem where he discovers
that he is no longer the cherished IA
ther, the idolized guardian, but use
less old man, well rid Of. His heart
Is we'll neigh broken and but for his
faithful servant he would have perished
miserably.
The rest of the story Is very like unto
the other king Lear" showing his
return to the home he had left and of
the final reconciliation of father and
daughters.
Mr.. Glickman as king Lear" sus-
tanned the character with a firmness
that was little short of marvellous.
Eight curtain calls rewarded his efforts
after act three.
Clara Raffalo, Mat Finklestein, Eva
Katz, Jennie Abrahams, Hyman Weiss
man, Bernard Schoengold and David
Schoengold were seen to better advant--
age than in either Of their previous
offerings.
The scenes Of the play were laid in
Wilma, Russia, and costumed accord
ingly.
Mr.. Glickman seemed we'll pleased
with the reception local play patrons
gave the Yiddish dramas and only re-
grets the fact that Manager Morosco
was unable to grant him three evening
performances instead of three matinees.

LINCOLN HOTEL MUDDLE
RESULTS IN AN ARREST
DR.. z. F. VAUGHN ACCUSED BY
MRS. McWILLIAMS
Search Warrant Issued and Mirrors
Claimed by Woman Are Found.

On a complaint sworn to by Mrs.

Vaughn, an oculist and famed for re-
discovering the process by which an
clients tempered gold to the hardness
of steel, was arrested and taken into
Judge Austins court yesterday.
Vaughn was also mentioned in the
case of w. D. Montgomery who lost
control of the Lincoln hotel recently
and was tried on the charge of insanity.
Indirectly through the sale Of the
Lincoln hotel, Vaughn was arrested
yesterday. At the time of the sale of
the hotel which was In the hands Of
DR.. Vaughn, Mrs. McWilliams con-
Quoted a rooming house at 300 South
Hill street. 1t was when DR.. Vaughn
made Mrs. McWillams a bid Of $1100
for the rooming house that arrange
ments were made that she should con-
duct the place.
Vaughn was to pay all bills out Of
money collected, but according to Mrs.
McWilliams, he allowed the house to
run down and paid no bills.
Mrs. McWilliams became dissatisfied
and placed the case in the hands of the
sheriff, with the result that Dr.
Vaughn was ousted. Mrs McWdl-
liams suspected that some of her fur
niture had been taken but was not
fully convinced until taking an inven-
tory. Later Miss Mary Maester, step
daughter Of Montgomery, gave out
information that led to searching DR..
Vaughn's house.
Miss Maester was to receive GER
tain amount of money in the settlement
of the Montgomery affairs, but accord
ing to her story she did not receive
1t. She has entertained ill feelings
toward the Vaughns, and on this ac-
count swore to the search warrant.

tives Hawley and Murphy, gilt
framed mirror was found. A search
of the office of DR.. o. B. Loewentrout
in the Frost building disclosed another
mirror. DR.. Loewentrout explains it's
presence by the statement that Dr.
Vaughn presented it to him.
DR. Vaughn will be tried Monday.
He has entered a plea of not guilty.

DO WE WASTE WATER?
Statistics Show That American Cities
Use Tremendous Quantities

In view of the recent agitation con-
cerning the water supply of Los An
geles the following from What-to-Eat
has a special interest:
Residents of Buffalo, N. Y, use more
water than any other people in the
world. The average consumption In
that city is 440 gallons (more than
fourteen barrels) per day for each per-
son. The people of Louisville use less
water than any other in America, the
average consumption of the "kunnels"
of that city being but fifty gallons a
day, used principally as "chasers."
Chicago and Philadelphia rank next
to Buffalo, each person using 200 gall
Ions day, according to the average
Milwaukee averages a consumption of
nearly 15O gallons for each person,
which Is attributed to the enormous
amount required by the breweries.
Most of the water in st. Louis is also
being used for drinking purposes. The
New Yorker requires 120 gallons (four
barrels) of water day to satisfy his
needs.
Statistics show that the per capita
consumption OF New York is increas-
ing in proportion to the supply obtain
able. In 1880 it was seventy-seven gall
Ions per day; in 1899 1t was 119 gall
Ions; it is over 100 gallons now and this
condition has been the experience of
every city in this country and in Bu-
rope.
When one realizes that the city of
London uses from thirty-five to forty
gallons per inhabitant per day for all
purposes and that many of the best
European cities use even less, there
seems to be some discrepancy which
cannot all be ascribed to increased
cleanliness.

CRIMINAL WARNS YOUTHS
Banker Lewis, From Prison Cell, says,
"Don't Smoke, Drink or Bet
on HdCe'
IN The Harald-

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-From the Joliet
penitentiary Edward J. Lewis, convicted
real estate man and banker of Wheaton,
has sent solemn warning to young men
who may be following in his footsteps.
Lewis was taken to Joliet about Sep
tember 1 for the forgery of 100000
worth of mortgages. He says:
Remember, young man, that your
sins will find you out. 1 thought that
when 1 first sold a mortgage of $400
that 1 could easily repay it by a lucky
stroke or commission on real estate
deal. When I found 1 could not do
this, the person owning the mortgage
asked for her money, then had to sell
another and larger mortgage to make
good. Afterwards I thought this was
so easy I could keep up the crime for
ever.
Boys and young men, don't play
poker. Don't start when you are young
in the back of the barn with other
small boys and using grains of corn for
poker chips.
Don't smoke cigarettes.
Don't drink your first glass of beer
or whisky.
Don't take the chorus girls out to
supper.
Don't begin betting on the horse
races because you hear Of somebody
making some money that way.
"Be sure your sins will find you out.
II you knew the suffering have gone
through you would shun crime, untruth
and deceit as you would poison. The
person talking to you now has gone
through the mill-not one who talks
from theory or books, but one who has
sinned and is now paying for these and
paying very dearly"
