OUR A1RsH1p.

If some inventor should build an i'm.
mense balloon air-ship, and invite ou to
take ride in it. and offer as inducement
the fact that you could travel on it
through the realms of space at the rate
of a million and half miles a day, but
in further describing it he might also
mention that the thing was filled with ex-
plosives and fire, and while the most OF
the surface seemed perfectly safe, yet
it was all more or less dangerous, you
would probably thank the genius, but
would respectfully decline taking a ride
through the air on machine like that
even for the novelty of the great speed
promised.
And vet that is what you are doing
every day that yon live. Waking or
sleeping you go flying through space at
the rate of 1000 miles second on a
globe filled with fires. the crust OF which
is hardly thicker in proportion than the
silk or cotton covering Of gas bag on a
balloon.
An outside envelope of this airship OF
ours is not only very infamable in itself,
but it goes whirling about often destroy
ing property and life in its violence and
by its friction invoking the presence of
the fiery and destructive devils of
electricity.
Another envelope which we cali water
is also composed Of two gases that
make the hottest flame known when in

forming water. And sometime, il the
combination should get out Of whack,
the whole thing might explode at once
with. dire results that cannot even be

former three places he acknowledges
that he had not discovered single out
spoken "insurgent"-but at Neche he
made notable find.
1t was Peter St. Amour, young man
who was brought up in the general store
Of ]. LaMoure & Co. at Neche and is
now conducting rival establishment IN
the same village.
A1ew weeks since Neche had village
election, it was somewhat exciting and
the village polled seventy-one votes.
Mr.. St. Amour was the generalissimo OF
the minority in the fight and lost by a
majority ranging from five to twenty
eight. Mr.. ST. Amour told the Herald
reporter about the village election, The
feprorter was confessediy short of mater-
ial. He was sent to find '.insurgents''
and 1t was his business to find them
whether they existed or not. Here was
+, an opportunity, and straightway the
Neche village election was made the text

Really, the velocity with which Peter
has been sent to the highest political
attitudes in the windship constructed by
the reporter is truly remarkable, and as
Peter sits on his new political air ma
chine, and looks down from the dizzy
height to the earth, he must wonder how
he is going to get down again. If he is
looking for a soft place to fall, we sug-
gest that if he can guide his airship in its
descent SO that it strikes the reporters
head, that he may possibly avoid fatal
ity to himself and place the responsible.

In fact the whole story. reminds us
of the words OF that immortal poem,
familiar to all, which runs something
like ths:-
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater:
Had notion, needed keeper,
Put it in reporters, pumpkin shell,
And there it grew like--very well.

SAN FRANCISCO IN RUINS

The telegraph news:ot Wednesday
evening and Thursday give partial
accounts OF the disaster that has come
to San Fransisco and many surrounding
towns. Details are not yet known be-
cause the earthquake broke all telegraph
connections except one wire.
Briefly, an earthquake shook the city
at five in the morning. Many buildings
were razed and many badly wrecked.
The first shock lasted from two to three
minutes. The electric light and gas
| plants were wrecked and the wires and
mains cut. Water mains were broken.
Then fires broke out in many places.
There was no water and the firemen
were helpless. 1t was said on Wednes.
day that eight square miles of the bnsi-
ness portion of the city was destroyed
by the earth quake and the resulting fire
and included the, best buildings Of the
business part of the city.
The loss OF life is just guessed at, and
IS now thought to be over two. thousand
dead. Many people were ia the build
ings that collapsed, and were likely
killed outright.
There were two or three shocks dur.
ing the day. Severe shocks were felt as
( far east as Utah and Nevada.
San Jose has suffered considerably
losing some ins bniIding and several
ives from the earthquake.
That is the city il which w. C. Shori
n Is il business and about ten miles from
Los Gatos where he. lives. .;'55

and the decision of Judge Speer Is
that the proposed amendment be de-
MED, and the original libel be dis
missed.
The ruling settles two important
points In this jurisdiction, that there
can be no recovery for any man who
Is killed on vessel who is not an en-
ploye OF the vessel; that the ship Is
not liable to the stevedores for any
negligence as was the case in this in
stance.
Williams was an employee of the
sievedores. and was in the hold of
the vessel. A fellow employee stood
on the main hatch and signaled to the

lower the freight 1T was claimed by
Williams representatives that the
win Gilman failed to do his duty. The
declaration of the petitioner showed
that the stevedores were simply en-
ployes OF the charterers Of the vessel
and not employed by the ship. The
principal point is that the death of a
fellow workman Is not chargeable t.
the employer has prevailed, and in ad-
miralty 1t is decision that suit
cannot be amended and made a
suit against the owners, personally.

SHIP NOT LIABLE
FOR ACCIDENTS
DECISION OF GREAT INTEREST
TO VESSEL OWNERS AND
STEvEDoREs.

The Savannah News says: Judge
Emory Spe'er has rendered decision
in the admiralty case of Nancy Will
liams, colored, against the English
steamship LOwlands. that is Of consid-
cradle import to ship interests as well
as stevedores.
The point decided is a new one. It
is that neither the ship, nor the yes
sells owners, is liable for an injury
suffered by a person, not a servant OF
the vessel That Isl that the ship is
not liable to the stevedores for neg
ligence on the part of fellow laborers
Or any one else engaged in the work
that caused the injury.
The ruling was filed in the Office Of
the clerk of the Federal Court here
yesterday morning. 1t Is in the suit
brought by Nancy Williams for tire
death of her husband, Leander Will
liams. The petition was filed Isc
November, and $4,000 was the.
emount sought to be recovered. The
petition charged that Williams lost
his life through the negligent drop
ping of beam in one Of the dis
charge holds In which Williams was
at work. Twiggs & Oliver and Simon
n. Gazan, Esq, filed the suit. and Will
liam R. Leaken, Esq, represents the
defendant, the steamship Lowlands.
The case was argued before Judge
Spe'er, the defense contending that
there was no liability resting upon
the ship for the fatality. 1t was sug-
gested by counsel, and the court gave
leave, that an amendment be flied d.
recting the suit against the owners Of
the ship. instead of the ship itself.
Mr.. Leaken took the position that
such an amendment was not good in
law and cited his authorities. The

PENSIONS TO MOTHERS.

The Scheme Proposed by Mrs. Fran
ces Norton of Chicago.
One of Chicago's pioneer clubwomen,
Mrs. Frances Norton, strenuously adj
vocates the granting of pensions to
mothers by the state. She holds that
the state owes a duty to the mother
and that as each child Is prospective
citizen its entrance into the world
should be marked by a bounty from
the state which would free the needy
mother from dependence on an I'M
skilled or unwilling husband and give
her time to rear her children.
Mrs. Norton brought the proposition
to the petition stage before the Austin
Woman's club recently. This petition
Is to be followed by others at the diff
ferent Chicago clubs and will end with
q petition which will be sent to the
proper authorities for consideration.
The idea, which is not worked out In
detail as yet. takes q somber view Of
the subject. The rich will not hive
children, the speaker said, and there
fore 1t behooves the state to make 1t
possible for those who have children
and are in need to rear the children In
q way to make good citizens Of them.
France had met this necessity and pen
stoned parents; also there was fund
for educating the seventh son at the
government expense In some cases.
The condition which made this neces-
sary, although not yet upon u.s." Mrs.
Norton added, rs coming"
Mrs. Norton's plan provides that the
mother be paid q certain amount per
child for Its care till 1t reaches four.
teen. This" said Mrs. Norton, ''is the
only practical way to make the anti
race suicide theory effective. The mon
ey which could be saved from the ex.
penses Of the courts by giving each
child a chance for home and material
care would be enough to pay for the
work Of pensioning motherhood. There
would be fewer criminals II the chill.
dren and their parents had Z better
chance"
