AMUSE PUBLIC.

WHEELING, Aug. 29-No matter
what attractions the county fair may
have in the line of nice fat beef cat
tie, good producing mich cows, strong
growing wool sheep, enormous swine.
the one attraction that will cause at
tention from all corners and prospec-

Knabenshue to give daily exhibitions
of his derlgibIe balloon during the en-
tire week OF the fair, commencing
Monday, September 10.
Knabenshue will make an ascension

returning to the original starting
point. The daring aeronaut will have
his ship on exhibition in a specially

not sailing around in the air, and will
take pride in explaining to the inquir-

The atrshlp Is not the only attrac-

devised for the amusement of those
who care nothing for racing and the
cattle and agricultural exhibits. The
midway, so-called, will present a var

public. There may not be as many
attractions at this as has been pres

Zionists Plans
FORM OF GOVERNMENT DOES
NOT ENTER INTO PRESENT
CONSIDERATION.

COLOGNE, Germany, Aug. 30.-The
form OF government to be established
by Jews in Palentine, whether re-
public or monarchy, in case the Zion
lists are able to carry out their cher.
ished plan of establishing themselves
in the territory which was once theirs
is question which does not enter
into the consideration of zionists at
present according to David VOLTS
sohn, president of the Zionist confer
ence now in session here Nor is the
restoration of the throne OF David an
active issue in the Zionist movement
in the opinion OF tn, head of the con-
gress.
President Wolfssohn discussed with
the correspondent of the Publishers
Press the aims of Zionlsts in Palestine.
He said:
"our ambitions are not over-reach.
ing. We have no desire to form a
monarchy or. even a republic in Pal
estine. We simply want to reclaim
for colonization the land which is sa-
cred in the history of the Jews and
win for It the worlds recognition as
Jewish national territory.
Political Obstacles.
"Polltlcal obstacles will prevent US
from setting up our own rule in Pal
estine. We cannot deliberately wrest
the country from the suzerainty OF the
Turks, but will be content to gain the
Friendship and support OF the Sultan.
In the furtherance of our aims we will
also strive to obtain as a guarantee
against possibly Turkish tyranny the
formal protection of our rights in Pal
estine by the great powers.
"The restoration OF the throne of
David is not an active issue in the
zionist movement. 1t is an article of
Hebrew faith on which no modern
spirited Jew attempts to put literal
construction. When we succeed in
establishing modified autonomy in
Palestine and can regard it as our
own territory wherein to develop our
ideals and work out our own saliva
tion, we will consider the restoration
of the throne of David at hand"
Among the prominent delegates to
the congress is Max Nordeau, who
was president of last years Zionist
congress at Basic. Three members Of
the recently dissolved Russian Douma
are also in attendance as delegates.

The Recent Yacht Race to Bermuda.

The unfavorable weather conditions on
the day (Nay 26) set for the start of the re-
cent yacht race of about 40-fOot boats from
Gravesend Bay to Bermuda, resulted in the
almost immediate dsmasting of the Lila
and the return of the Tamerlane to port
with her, the master of the Gauntlet, how
ever, deciding to take chances and proceed.
Two days later the two belated yachts sail
ed again, and with fair wind the Tanner
lane was able to set straight course, which
won her the race. Hard luck continued to
pursue the Lila, which vessel did not take
kindly to the big seas she encountered, and
bore away for Hampton Roads, abandoning
the race. The fact that the yacht Tanner
lane was able to beat the Gauntlet when
that craft had two days the start of her
demonstrates most emphatically that in
boat sailing wise judgment on the part of
the sailing master often counts for more
than brave ardor. The sailing master of
the Tamerlane was Thomas Fleming Day,
editor of that popular yachting magazine,
The Rudder. The prize was $1,000 cup.
