AERONAUT IN TROUBLE.
Motors Failed to Work and He De.
 scended With Ropes.

Brockton, Mass, Oct 4.-A. Roy Knabenshue, the aeronaut, met with an accident today on the Brocktop. fair grounds while trying to make an as- tension in his airship. The ship had risen about thirty yards when the motor missed a number of revolutions. This prevented steering and the great bag containing the gas struck a flag pole on one of the buildings, stopping the flight. Knabenshue shouted to his assistants on the ground and tossed them ropes. He was able to descend without injury to himself. The net ting covering the ship, however, was torn. Repairs were quickly made and the young man at once began prepara- lions for another ascension later in the day.
 Governor William l.. Douglas, staff and council attended the fair, this being governors day.

The democrats are talking of keep ing permanent quarters right along, equipped so that a few fellows could drop in there any time during the day or evening and have a chat about one thing or another. This Is just what the party needs. The republicans have two or three such places. but if demo- crats want to compare notes they have to arrange to meet on the sidewalk -or intrude upon some one at his office. There ought to be enough democrats in Waterbury to meet the cost of a club of this sort and there are If a few responsible citizens would take the initiative.

One Waterbury elector who voted with the majority at the city election and has watched what the papers have had to say as to how it happened. de- ciares that none of them touched upon the point that prompted him to oppose n continuance of the business admin istration. He said he drew the line at the idea of paying S1,200 or S1.300 for insuring the fire houses. With first class apparatus at their hand. an abun- dance of water and lots of trained men ready to pitch in at a moments no tice. he believed that the firemen could be trusted to take care of their own hunks. He was told that fire houses are insured in some other cities. but he didn't care about that and dismissed the subject by remaTking that this was about all the department of safety had to offer tn favor of the new departure. but he considered It no argument and came mighty near instructing his at torney to see what could be done to- ward preventing the board from pay ing out money for that purpose

A special from Havana says: Cen
eral Maxine Gomez died at s O'Clock
Saturday evening.

great leader OF revolutionists was
called by his countrymen, expired
at sunset in the presence OF his fam
lily and his old time friend, Estrada
Ialma, president Of the republic. The
end came quietly in the beautiful TEN.
porary home at the seaside in the sub.
urb of Vedado.
The distinguished patients illness
extended over forty-six days, although
his health had been failing for
months prior to that time.
The admiration OF the mass of Gu.
bans for General Gomez amounted a..
most to idolatry. His death admit
tedly is a severe blow TO any political
interest 10 which he was allied. He
was one of the most radical leaders
Of the national party. General Gomez
leaves a widow, five sons and one
daughter.
Only Saturday the secretary Of the
treasury delivered TO one of General
Gomez sons a check for 100000,
which had been voted unanimously by
congress for the generals benefit and
approved by the president. This was
in addition to the $4,000 previously
voted by congress.
General Gomez commanded the Gu.
ban forces during the insurrection
which broke out in 1895 and ended
with the complete independence Of
the island on May 20, 1902. He was
born at Bani Santo Domingo, in 1886,
and came of a Spanish family. He
began life as a cavalry oficer in the
Spanish army in Santo Domingo and
served during the last occupation Of
Santo Domingo by Spain. In the war
with Hayti Gomez distinguished him
self at the battle of Tome, where, with
twenty men, he routed a much supe-
rior force of Haytiens. When the
Spaniards were driven from the island

AM / MY BROTHERS. KEEPER?

Prof. E. A. Ross Of the university of
Nebraska answers that ancient ques-
ton in very modern as well as a
very striking way in an article on
New Varieties of Sin" in the Atlantic
Monthly for May:
'The sinful heart is ever the same,
but sin changes it's quality as society
develops. Modern sin takes it's char
acter from the mutualism of our time.
Under our present manner of living,
how many of my vital interests must
intrust to others! Nowadays the water
main is my well, the trolly car my
carriage, the bankers safe my old
stocking, the policeman's billy my fist.
My own eyes and nose and judgment
defer to the inspector of food or drugs,
or gas, or factories, tenements, or
insurance companies. rely upon
others to look after my drains, invest
my savings, nurse my sick, and teach
my children. l let the meat trust
butcher my pig, the oil trust mould
my candles, the sugar trust boil my
sorghum, the coal trust chop my wood,
the barb wire company split my rails.
The stealings and Sayings
that Turk in the complexities of our
social relations are not deeds of the
dive, the dark alley, the lonely road,
and the midnight hour. One misses
the traditional setting, the time-hon-
ored insignia of turpitude. Fagin and
Bill Sykes and Simon Legree are van
ishing types. Gamester, murderer,
body-snatcher and kidnaper may ap-
peal to a Hogarth, but what challenge
finds his pencil in the countenance of
the boodler, the savings-bank wrecker,
or the ballot-box suffer? Among our
criminals of greed, one begins to meet
the "grand style" of the great crimi-
nails of ambition, Macbeth or Richard
III. The modern high-power dealer of
woe wears immaculate linen. carries a

schiIler's Ideal Liberty.

All the highest human manifesto
tions presuppose freedom. Compul-
sorry loyalty, compulsory love, compul-
sorry worship, compulsory heroism-
the very terms are contradiction.
Human evolution is succession OF
emancipations: first from natural con
ditions, then from bodily servitude,
then from political ecclesiastical, So
cial economic, and Industrial tyran-
MES, from vicious habits, from disease
from ignorance. We stand only on the
threshold of the new dispensation Of
liberty; the old feudalities still con
troll many of our methods and tinge
Ctr ideals; but to her, il the world is
to grow better, the future belongs.
Because Schiller saw this and bore
witness to it, he is the best loved of
German poets. His voice, with it's bur-
den of liberty, finds an echo in every
heart; for no human being is too de-
based to understand that message,
which, like an orioles song of May
morning, needs no interpreter. That
Schiller identified himself with this
supreme ideal will long keep his name
alive. Posterity reveres it's enamel
pators, be they inventors or statesmen,
teachers or artists, prophets or poets.
1--WE are both idealists," Schiller wrote
few weeks before his death, to his
dear friend, Wilhelm Won Humboldt,
I'VE are both idealists, and should be
ashamed to have it said of us that we
did not form things, but that things
formed u.s." To that utterance every
spirit will respond which consecrates
itself to the service of liberty.-W. R.
