DROPPED FULLY FIFTEEN HUNDRED FEET
Member of the Grew Was Seen Working
in a Dangerous Positon--Richmond
Showed Marked Interest in the
international Contest

The great international balloon race
which started from st. Louis Monday
afternoon at four o'clock was the chief
topic of interest in Richmond today.
Balloons began passing over the city
at nine O'Clock this morning and d
continuous stream of them has contin-
ued.
The Palladium maintained watch
on the high tower at the rear of Mrs.
J. M. Gaar's residence on. North
Eighth street to note the passing bal
looms.
At one thirty this afternoon a large
yellow balloon passed over the north
ern part of the city and when directly
north of the tower it was seen that 1t
was in trouble. A man could lie seen
working around the big balloon on
the network and the actions
OF the balloon were decidedly
erratic. The man could be seen work
ing in this dangerous position for
about fifteen minutes when suddenly,
without any warning, the big balloon
began to settle earthwards and in the
course of only several moments it had
dropped about fifteen hundred feet.
The man who had been working on the
network about the balloon returned
hurriedly to the car underneath the
balloon and he and the other occupant
of the car. who could be easily seen,
began throwing out ballast The men
looked like two tiny specks, but it was
evident they were seeking to avoid
some danger not apparent to the tow
er watchers, by their frantic efforts to
tighten the weight that seemed to be
dragging the balloon earthward at
great rate of speed. After they had
thrown out great deal of ballast the
downward flight of their balloon was.
checked and >ster throwing out some
more ballast. the great gas bag slowly
began to mount again into the higher
regions Of the air. 1t is believed this
was the German balloon as the only
balloon entered in the race of yellow
color carries the flag of that nation.

PROBABLY AMERICAN.
Balloon That Appeared at 10 O'clock
Attracted Many.

A balloon. one of the entries in the
international balloon race which start
ed from St Louis at o'clock Monday
city this morning about 10 o'clock.
The country which this balloon rep
resents is not known bat it is believed
to have been one of the American en-
tries.
Hundreds of people in this city and
the southern part of the county saw
the balloon as it very gracefully
swept along on its north-eaSterly
course. The balloon was about two
thousand or three thousand feet above
the earth and moving along at speed
estimated at thirty miles an hour
When first seen by local people 1t
was a mere speck but the fast balloon
as it swept along on it's north-easter-
ly course gradually increased in size
until as it sped past the city about
two miles south of the southern limits
of the city. looked to be the size of
an ordinary hogshead
Headed Toward Greenville.
About IL O'Clock the balloon disap-
peared from view in the blue above
the eastern horizon. The balloon
when last seen appeared TO be head
ed in the general direction of Green
vile. O.. although the wind was be-
ginning to shift at that time to a
south-easterly direction. Several peo
pie witnessed the flight of the bai-
loon from the tower of the court
house. From this high point the ropes
to which the gas bag was attached to
the car could be seen indistinctly but
the two occupants of the car could not
be made out. Unfortunately none of
those who saw the flight of the bal
loon from the court house tower had
a pair of field glasses.
Over ConnersviIIe.
About three-quarters of an hour be-
fore he balloon was first sighted here
dispatch was received at the Postal
telegraph office from Connersville,
stating that the balloon had been seen
passing over Connersville and that
this balloon was headed in the direc-
ton of Richmond. The remarkable
fast time the balloon was making is
-Hnwn by the fact that it was sighted
- Richmond about three-quarters of
sour after it was seen at Conners-
Vile.
TIE older inhabitants of Richmond
recall the fact that in 1889 when Will
liam Hyde and John Wise established
the continuous flight record in this
country their balloon, which started
from ST Louis, passed directly over
Richmond On this flight Hyde and
Wise went from ST. Louis to Hender-
son, N. Y. a distance of $40 miles.

Of Religious History.
FINAL DAY WAS BUSY
ONE FOR DELEGATES.
Work O. the National Anti-Sa-
loon League Endorsed---
---Ohio Invited to Become a
Member.

The work of the Five Years meeting
is now history. The ruling body of
the Friends adjourned Monday after
noon. It's actions have been signifi-
cant in many ways. Mondays sessions
were marked by the unusual dispatch
of business.
The temperance question was the
subject of much debate, and particular
ly was this true when Timothy Nichol-
son presented a resolution to be adopt
ed by the Five Years meeting, endors
ing the work of the national Anti-Sa-
loon league, and extending to it the
sympathy of the Five Years meeting
This action was objected to by many
on the ground that other temperance
organizations had performed equally
good work, and the Five Years meet
ing should not select one above all 9TH
er organizations for commendation.
After much debate the original resolu-
ton was passed by the meeting after
several amendments were submitted.
The w. c. T. U. was also extended the
sympathy of the meeting in its tenn
perance work. temperance topics gen.
orally will be handled by the delega-
tion to the inter-church conference.
Fraternal delegates from London and
Dublin yearly meetings made short ad-
dresses, in which they extended 20
American Friends their sympathy in
the work being carried On. and thank
ed the meeting for the many courtesies
that have been extended to them since
their coming to America, and particu-
larly in Richmond. 1t was the opin-
ion of the meeting tnat correspond
ence should be entered into by the
committee on arrangements with the
foreign yearly meetings. to ascertain
whether or not those meetings eau
each time send delegates, as they did
this year.

An unexpected move was made when
it was decided to extend the Ohio year.

part of the Five Years meeting. This
was a surprise, in that it is the firs.
yearly meeting to be asked to enter
the American federation of yearly

to merely extend to the Ohio meeting
an invitation to send fraternal dele
gates. Fearing that this invitation
might be construed into meaning that

A Staggering Calamity

China is making most pltifnl
appeal for bread. Fifteen million
men, women and children are starv.
ing. The calamity is not one OF
their own creation. Rain fell,
without a break, for forty days
Hundreds of miles were overlooked,
submerging farms, destroying
crops. uprooting houses, leaving
despair, destruction and starvation
in their track. The area is forty
thousand square miles and fifteen
millions Of people are impoverish-
ed. Parents are killing their
children by poison and by throw.
ing them into rivers, and after this
take their own lives. The aged are
being drowned to aycid the agonies
Of starvation.
Parents sell their boys and girls
for SO or So in order to procure
food, then plead with the purchas-
err to return them. A woman with
her baby girl was . travelling in
search of elief. The mother weak.
ened and died by the roadside. For
two days the little living child was
left in the dead mothers arms. In
two districts. starving and desper-
ate people are eating their own
children, and human flesh has acs
tuallY been sold for food.
We urge upon every reader of
the Recorder to help before it is
too lats.
Let other organizations follow
the example of the Williamsville
school. Individual subscriptions,
no matter how small, can be sent
in by hand or by mail, and we will

We will make first remittance Of
funds on Friday, March 22nd, and

tribution worthy Of such cause.
