FAR FROM LAND
AND OVER OCEAN
Airship Bore Aeronaut on Re.
markable Voyage.
WAS PICKED UP OUT AT SEA
His Life Was Saved by Fortunate
Shift of the Wind-Ascended July
Fourth and Travelled Over TWO
Hundred Miles.

Boston, Mass, July AFTER one of
the history of aerial navigation, Jas.
K Allen, the aeronaut, who made a
balloon ascension at Providence on
the Fourth of July, was brought 20
this port Friday night on the fishing
schooner Francis V. Sylvia. Allen
was picked up at sea II miles off
Chatham, eighteen and a half hours
after his departure from Providence.
Allen had narrow escape from
death by drowning, the winds that had
prevailed Wednesday, having blown
his balloon long distance from the
sh0le Until news of his arrival here
became known it had been thought hv
mad met h-5 death, as it was known
that a the last time he was sighted
on WcGIe ay evening he was trav.
cling out u sea.
That Alien is alive is due wholly to
a fortunate shift of the wind. When
he made his ascension at Providence
on Wednesday the wind was blowing
brisk breeze from the southwest.
The aeronaut was carried in his bal
loon in a northeastely direction, and
passed over the town of Attleboro.
Ee had his balloon under perfect con-
troll at that time, and while in the
vicinity of Attleboro he descended
twice.
From Attleboro the airship Travelled
in the direction Of Brockton, and the
last seen of the aeronaut by obsarv-
ers on shore was when he passed over
Scituate early in the evening.
At that time the balloon was head,
ed straight out to sea. When Thurs
day dawned without any news being
received from Allen ard it became
known that the last time - was seen
it was then believed that he would
never return.
After Allen passed over Massachu-
setts bay his plight was more peril.
Gus. Wednesday night he was over
ProvincetoTn. At this point of the
voyage the wind shifted from south
west to northeast, and from Province
town the balloon sailed down the out
er Cape Cod coast. At 1880 o'clock
the aeronaut was rescued u miles off
Chatham by the fishermen of the Syl-
via. The balloon was saved in good
condition, and was brought to Boston
on the schooner
During hts flight Allen covered a
total distance of about 200 miles,
nearly half of which was over the
water. The point where he was
picked up is about II miles from
Providence in a direct line.

OF interest To Women.

To such women as are not seriously out
of health, but who have exacting duties
to perform, either in the way of house
hold cares or in social duties and func-
lions which seriously tax their strength,
as well as to nursing mothers, DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has proved a most
valuable supporting tonic and invigorat-
ing neryine. BY its timely use, much
serious sickness and suffering may be
avoided. The operating table and the
surgeons knife, would, it is believed,
seldom have to be employed if this most
valuable woman's remedy were resOrted
to in good time The "Fayorite Prescrip-
ton" has proven great boon to expectant
mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy, and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but is MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOSE
TToN, full list of all it's ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottle
wrapper. An examination of this list of
ingredients will disclose the fact that it is
non-alcoholic in its composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-reined glycerine taking
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
in its makeup. In this connection it
may not be out of place to state that the
"Favorite Prescription" of DIR; Pierce is
the only medicine put up for the cure OF
woman's peculiar weaknesses and all
ments, and sold through druggists, all
the ingredients of which have the ,un-
animous endorsement of all the leading
several schools of practice, and that too
as remedies for the ailments for which
UFavorite Prescription is recommended;

hest of the "CapitaIistic" Class.
Denver, Colo, July Tt was learn
ed Friday night that the Socialist par
ty of Colorado held a convention in
this city on the Fourth of July and
nominated a full state ticket, headed
by William D. Haywood, secretary
treasurer of the Western Federation
of Miners, now in prison in Idaho for
governor.
Haywood is accused of being par
ty to the conspiracy which resulted
in the murder of Ex-Governor Sheun-
enburg, of Idaho, by a dynamite
bomb.
In nominating Haywood, John NJ.
Martin, of Denver, said:
Il do not rise to name a we'll
groomed business man or profes-
sional politician, seeking graft. Nor
do I name a labor leader who is dined
and wined at civic federation ban
quets. But 1 rise to name man
who, in executive ability is the peer
of the best and whose personal in
tegrity is without stain.
"a man whose hands have been
calloused by honest labor and whose
very heart throbs in sympathy with
those who toll A man who has
never been praised by the capitalists
press as the greatest labor leader,
in the world, but who, as labor
leader, has never betrayed his trust
nor sold out strike. A man who,
because of his Loyalty to the work
ing class, has been struck down by
brutal soldisry on the streets of city.
"A man who, for that same loyalty,
was kidnapped by the command of the
powers Of capitalism and contrary to
all legal forms and observanc3s was
carried to distant state and thrown
into a feIon's cell, where for months
he and his faithful comrades have
waited, demanding in vain the speedy
trial guaranteed to every citizen by
our constitution and laws-William D.
Haywood, the prisoner in Caldwell
jail"
Mr.. Martin declared that the work
ing classes of Colorado would rally
to Haywood and that he would be
elected. Concluding, he said
And if they refuse to release him
We may feel impelled to march to
Idaho and take our chief executive by
force if necessary out of the teeth of
the dogs of capitalism and carry him
in triumph to our statehouse."
