TO DEATH.
Fourth Of July in L'Anse Marked
BY a shocking
Fatality.

One OF the most appalling disas-
ters which has taken place In this
village -in some time, occurred at
about 4:30 o clock Wednesday after
noon, at which time Mildred, the
7-year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fine Goodreau, was burned to
death.

by one OF the little girls playmates,
they had found an undischarged.
fire-cracker on the street, and were
desirous Of exploding it, whereupon
one OF the children went to her
home and procured some matches.
Returning she handed them to
Mildred, who was then seated on the
walk opposite Thoresen' s grocery.
Taking one of the matches she
proceeded to light it by scratching
it on the walk. 1t is supposed that

longest A $500 purse the contribution of Chicago aoronauts, was the reward to the winner.
 With a cheer from the spectators, the assistants released the balloons and the big bags shot Up into the air, the two aeronauts clinging to their trapezes. When several hundred feet from the ground the ballons crashed together and an accident was narrowly averted. Me- Kinney was hurled from the fragile trapeze and, had 1t not been for the straps fastened to his belt would have fallen.
 Higher and higher the balloons ascend ed, neither seeming to gain much over the other, and in short time both were but small specks In the sky.
 In few moments, however, 1t was seen that Mattery's balloon had outdis- tanced his opponents, though both were still rising. Finally McKinneys balloon sprang a leak, and denso volumes of smoke and gas spurted forth, leaving the big bag in almost a state of collapse. Me- Kinney pulled the cord which released his parachute, and the little umbrella shaped apparatus, with the aeronaut hanging to the trapeze, shot downward. It was but few seconds until the para chute opened up, and McKinneys safe descent was assured.
 Mattery continued to ascend until he was almost out of sight. Finally seeing that he had won the race, he pulled the valve which released the gas, and his parachute shot into space. but, like Me Kinney's, it did not open up at once. However he had fallen only a short dis tance until it unfolded and he descended slowly. At this time it is estimated that he was more than 5000 feet in the air The parachute was almost directly above the park until it reached a dis tance of about POGO feet above the earth.
 At this point heavy wind commenced to blow from the lake and the aeronaut and his parachute were Swiftly carried westward toward the Illinois Central

THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Of Aeronaut Whose Parachute De-
 scends In Front of Train.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Battling with adverse currents of air. which were blowing him directly in front of an Illinois Central Express train, as he descended 5000 feet from balloon to the earth in fllmy parachute, William Mattery, a French aeronaut, yesterday fought for his life while 5000 people watched the struggle.
 The engineer of the train saw the aero naut less than 200 feet in the air above him, descending directly before his train He applied the air brakes, but knew that unless Mattery conquered the air currents he was powerless to save him from death The aeronaut fought with every muscle in his body. He swung himself back and forth on his little trapeze, kicked and made every effort possible to swerve his parachute away from the path of the train. Suddenly the parachute sank quickly to the ground, just as the train rushed by. Thousands of people ran to the scene expecting to find the mangled body of the balloonist. The parachute was crushed, but Mattery. by hinging himself from It at the last moment had escaped death under the engine by two feet. He rolled down an embankment and arose un- hurt physically, but suffering from the strain of the battle through which he had passed.
 Mattery and w. H. Mckinney, another aeronaut. had entered into balloon race at the Interstate Baseball park Sixty seventh street and Stony Island avenue. The winner of the novel contest was to be the one who remained in the air tho

JUDGE FEAGIN ON
 PROBATION PLAN Says Indeterminate Sentence System Should be Tried CHIEFS FAVOR THE IDEA Magistrate Says Men Should Not Be Thrown Among Criminals
 With No Hope of
 Freedom
CHIEFS FAVOR THE IDEA

Judge N. B. Feagin of the Birmingham police court has been for long time strong advocate of the indeterminate sen- tence system that was endorsed by the International Association of Chiefs of Po- lice at the convention at Hot Springs last week.
 In discussing the question yesterday Judge Feagin said:
 "rhe judges presiding oyer the criminal courts of the country ought to meet in convention like the police chiefs and dis cuss the best method of dealing with our criminal classes. As matters stand today too much attention is given to the en- forcement of the law according to the rules of technicalities, and too little to the subject of it's violation The object of the law-of all law. is not the punish ment of the individual, but the protection of society. and society can be best pro- tected by making good citizens out of bad ones when such a thing is possible; and 1t is often possible when the proper pro- cess is pursued
 States Have Systems.
 New York and Massachusetts both have a probation or indeterminate sen tence system and the records of it's suc- cess are interesting and gratifying.
 Liberty is the most prized of all human privileges and enjoyments; millions have fought for it and died for it: deprive d man of his liberty for life and you make an outlaw of him at heart but teach him that the same law that takes his liberty from him for misconduct will restore 1t to him on good behavior and you impress on him the justice and the mercy of the law.
 Under our laws a man accused of a vio- lation of the the law is deprived of his liberty and thrown among hardened crim- inals, if he is unable to make bond, even before he is tried.
 Will Have Effect.
 ''The hope of liberty will have an effect on any human being and there are many cases where its requirement will restore to good citizenship those who have fallen. People should be made to respect and love the law for it's mercy and it's jus tice and this can only be done by giving
