Voyage to London.


ny assotitieu i'TesS
LONDON October 5.-That the British
army has made practical progress in the So
luton of the problem of aerial navigation
was shown to the satisfaction of the Lon
doners when the dirigible war balloon which
has been given several trials at Aldershot
camp sailed from Marlborough. thirty-five
miles southwest of here. to London, and
after maneuvering over the city started
back to Aldershot.
The balloon crossed the Thames at Black
friars bridge and. making a sharp turn,
proceeded over Fleet street and the Strand
making a complete circle over the latter
thoroughfare. watched by thousands of peo-
pie. The balloon then went around Trafal-
gar square, over the war Office and past
Westminster Abbey and the houses of par
Lament. travelling at the rate of about fif-
teen miles an hour and being under COM
plete control
The appearance of the balloon was a great
surprise. as 1t had been announced that
changes in its construction had been found
necessary after the last trial and that they
would occupy some days
The balloon Is sausage-shaped, about 100
feet long by 80 feet in diameter. and has
lifting capacity of about one ton, which,
after deducting the weight of the car, en-
gines and other apparatus. permits carry
Ing crew of three men. The car of the
balloon. which IS SNAPPED ike boat, Is con-
structed of aluminium and canvas. The en-
gines are SO built that the exhaust vapor is
turned into gas and is carried up into the
balloon above by means Of tube. The ca
pacity Of the balloon Is $4,000 cubic feet
The petroleum for the motors is carried In
two torpedo-like cylinders above the car.
The envelope of the balloon Is parch-
ment-like material. similar to goldbeater's
skin. and is built up Of thousands upon
thousands of pieces few inches square
Joined together by secret process
There Is a large sail at the stern of the
car stretched on wooden frame fully
twelve feet square. which Is used as a rud-
der From the center of the car on either
side project a pair Of wings at right angles
to the balloon. which make it appear like
an aeroplane. and other wing arrangements
are attached to the rigging between the car
and the balloon.

Lena Rivers,

The play Lena Rivers at the Bijou this week. with Miss Beulah Poynter in the title role, was greeted on its first appearance last night by crowded and very appreciative house. The play Is one which will prove popular with Bijou audiences. and of it's character there will probably be none this season which will surpass 1t.
 The strength of the performance, how ever. is principally in its star, Miss Poyn- ter. She takes the part of an orphan, q little country girl taken away from her old home and placed with family of rel atives in Kentucky. With her girlish contrariness and simple love-making, Miss Poynter makes the charaster all that it is possible to make it.
 The story of the play is a somewhat complicated one. The first scene presents Lenas home in Massachusetts, and dur ing the progress of the plot the simplicity of life and the unbounded happiness O. the girl is portrayed She meets Dur ward Belmont and, of course, both are love-smitten.

and Abraham Lincoln, on prohibition.
 Following are some words from an. other one of our great Presidents, which should command the serious consideration of all thinking men:
 Our legislators are not sufficiently ap- prised of the rightful limits of their power: that their true office is to de- clare and enforce only our natural rights and duties, and take none of them from us. No man has a natural right to com init aggression on the equal rights of an- other; and this is all from which the law ought to restrain him; every man is un- der the natural duty of contributing to the necessities of society, and this is all the laws ought to enforce on him; and no man having natural right to be the Judge between himself and another, it is his natural duty to submit to the um- pirage of an impartial third. When the laws have declared and enforced all this, they have fulfilled their functions, and the idea is quite unfounded that on en- tering into society we give up any nat ural right Thomas Jefferson

Local Option a Great Calamity

 Houses that rented for $l5 it is inn possible to get $50 for now. There is one house here on the square; it was always tenanted. After prohibition it lay idle seven months. Last August it was taken by a firm at $35 per month, and given rent free till January so as to obtain a tenant Stores that two years ago had flourish ing business are today rented by small concerns who previously had upstairs
