Marriage With Miss Davis.


About twenty years ago Lieut.. Brown

Henry G. Davis Of West Virginia, and one
daughter, Katharine, survives the couple
Mrs. Brown died three years ago.
After spending the past summer, as was
his custom, at Kingwood and Elkins Com
mander Brown returned to Washington, ar
irving about two months ago. He intended
to take up his residence at his apartments
in Stoneleigh Court, where he has lived
almost continuously during late years. On
the train en- route to Washington, however,
he became i'll, and upon arrival in this
city he was Immediately taken to the Gar
field Hospital At first it was thought his
old ailment, rheumatism, would yield to
the course of treatment adopted and 1t
was not until short time ago that
turn for the worse indicated that serious
results were to be feared.
When her fathers condition became Sc
rious, little Miss Katharine Brown was
brought home from boarding school, and
she, with a nephew, Clarence Dilley of
Kingwood, were among the members of the
family at the bedside this morning when
death occurred.

watched his complete mastery of the creature of the air.
 His course to the Capitol was di- rectly up Dexter Avenue. How such & big crowd could gather, on the avenue at a moments notice Is a mystery. No- body knew of his coming Nobody ex- pected the airship to visit the town. But before he was well started on his trip the broad avenue was throhged with people, They were running out in the streets, climbing on top of the galleries. ana mounting the topmost points of the buildings to see tho strange and wonderful sights. The fort unate possessors of field glasses rushed to get them. Followed by thousands of eyes, Hamilton made his graceful way over the city and over the Capi- tol, calling and receiving greetings from the crowds far below.
 On his return to the Fair grounds. over the same line on. which he had come, something went wrong with the big cloth rudder, and as he passed over the grounds and descended in a cotton field beyond the pine woods and per
 haps a mile from the grounds. Some small repairs were quickly made and Hamilton reascended the air. He then
 made a quick flight and graceful
 descent into the grounds.
 For the benefit of the Montgomerians
 who saw and wondered at the, aerial visitors, 1t may be said that the big
 gas bag of the air ship is AS feet long
 and Is feet in diameter. The bag Is
 made of Japanese silk. treated with three coats of linseed oil. In addition to the aeronaut, the ship carries five horse power gasoline motor closely re- sembling the motor used in automobile The frame which supports the motor an dthe aeronaut is supended from tho
 gas bag by a great many ropes and rods.
 The motor is for the purpose of turning a huge propeller which furn- ishes the power for forcing the ma chine through the air. The propeller has two blades and is fixed to the front of the machine rather than to the | rear. The propeller pulls the ma- chine through the air instead of push ing 1t, as Is the case in water vessels. It works on the same principal that makes it much easier to pull an infiat-
 ed paper bag through the air oy its
 mouth. rather than to push 1t through the air with the hand behind 1t. The
 machine is guided by a. large perpen- l dicular rudder made of f'Japanese silk. | treated with linseed oil.
 The people who saw the vessel in It's | flight through the air may be inter
 ested in the fact that the air ship op- orator they saw Is one of the most
 daring aerial navigators in the coun- try. He has made innumerable as- cents and in doing so has used every form of experiments in aerial naviga- tion. He has had no less than fifty seven falls, and in addition to fnnum- erable bruises. he has sustained eight broken bones.
 But still. he likes his job.

seat and speak to the people who thronred Dexter Avenue and with craned necks watched the strange creature of the air sailing through space under the control of the opera tor.
 As the strange and wonderful visitor passed over the business section Of tho city the streets filled with spectators almost instantly. So fast did they come and so many were they that Dex' ter Avenue seemed almost as crowded as 1t was last October when the Pres- ident visited Montgomery. Half in awe and, half in wonder the onlookers saw the birdlike creature of the air move over the Exchange Hotel, turn half around and sail, up Dexter Ave nue. The laughing operator. sitting in his bicycle seat. leaned over to good naturedly taunt and guy the people be- low who, with wide opened eyes. watched his progress through the air. As he passed up Dexter Avenue hc was nearer the earth than the dome of the Capitol so that when he neared the end of the Avenue and was approaching the grounds of the Capitol he tilted the nose of the machihe and ascended higher in the air so that he circled the o1d building without touching its high est point.
 The country visitors need no. fss' ashamed of any wonder or surprise they experienced during the flight. It was no less source of wonder and surprise to the people or Montgomery this flight of the airship directly over and almost touching the top of the city. Only those wno had witness ed the flight of the ship Tuesday af- ternoon knew the possibilities of the aerial vessel and they were not pre-

 Tt done 1t! it sho~ done 1t! I seen 1t when 1t done it." was the wondering and inelegant remark of a visitor. but his wonder was no greater than the wonder Of the people of the city.
 A negro stood on the Capitol ground and watched the flight of the airship as 1t took it's course back to the Fair grounds.
 "Dar it goes: yassir daf 1t goes des as straight as bee-martin to its gourd."
 The ascent was made in the Fair grounds in the early afternoon in the midst of the address of Commissioner of Immigration Sargent.

He hesitated a moment.
 What is the matter Am driving those people away asked MT. Sar- gent.
 It was explained to him that the air ship was making a flight and that no orator was eloquent enough to keep the attention of the people while they had a chance to see a real and true air ship.

FROM CUPID'S BOW.

In their first love women love the
lover; i'm the others they love love.
There Is no disguise which can
hide love long where it is, or feign
IL where II is not
1t is of true love as of the appari-
ton of spirits; all the world talks OF
1t, but few people have seen it.
1t is sometimes agreeable to hus-
band to have jealous wife, because
always he hears her talk of what he
likes.
Jealousy Is in some measure Just
and reasonable, since It tends only
TO retain a good which belongs to
us, or which we think belongs to us.
There are two kids o. consistency
in love. The one comes from con-
stantly finding new things to love
in the person we love, and the other
comes from our wish as a matter of
honor to be constant-La Rochefou-

ENDS CAREER
AT THIRTY.
MILLIONAIRE RHOADS HAS
WORKED HIMSELF INTO A
SANITARIUM.

The immense iron and steel inter-
ests of j. Walter Rhoads were today
sold out here and the collapse OF an
other famous young millionaire un-
der the dual strain of amassing
more millions and keeping up the
social race at the same time, has
been recorded.
With fully 100000 in his own
name, and being one OF two heirs to
an estate of S10,OO0,OOO or more
j. Walter Rhoads at the early age
OF 30 years is reported a physical
wreck, and at the orders of his ply
sicians is retiring into sanitarium
for at least one year. He seems con-
demned to pass the remainder OF his
life spending his millions.
This news was brought out here by
the announced closing of q $500
600 deal through Edwin n. Oil, vice
president Of the Cherry Valley Iron
Company. whereby the interests OF j.
Walter Rhoads and his brother.
William Baggally Rhoads. were ia
ken over by syndicate, the personnel
OF which has not been made public.
All papers in the case were signed
today.
The Rhoads boys mentioned in
the deal are the only children of Jo-
shua Rhoads, the famous multi-mil-
nonaire octogenarian, who was head
OF the Pennsylvania Tube Company
until the time the United States
Steel Corporation absorbed it. and
he still retains an active interest i'm

The collapse OF j. Walter Rhoads
has caused great sensation in Pitts
burg and will be sad news in East
ern cities, where he was a well
known clubman. Unlike other young
men of wealth who have collapsed
here under dissipation, young Mr..
Rhoads has gone down as one of the
city's bright and temperate young
men-one who spent 10 hours a day
In the Office mastering the great
problems in iron and steel which
solved by his father, made him one
