Chimney Sweeps Close Shave.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mall.
The visit of the king and queen to Bur-
ton-on-Trent recalls a story that has been
told for generations past in Burton, but
which is so good that it is worth repeating.
During the latter years of the eighteenth
century, when George III was king, the re-
gent happened to visit Burton. and being
in an excellent humor with himself. and
also with Burton. he wished to knight
someb body in honor of the occasion, and
that somebody the first man he could lay
hands on. \ chimney sweep named Saltin-
stall happened to be the nearest person to
the regent when he formed his hasty resolu-
ton. and regardless of the SCOT that came
out of the mans clothing he seized the
sweep and told him he would knight him.
The man was too scared to utter word.
but as the regent was calling for a sword
with which to confer the honor the Marquis
OF Anglesey, the regents host. pointed out
that his solicitor. John Fowler was a
worthy recipient of the honor. The regent
was. after some demur. persuaded to alter
his hasty decision; the sweep was only/too
pleased to get away. and Sir John Fowler
worked comfortable practice for many
years, which still continues.

New Entry for international Balloon
Race.

Race.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February "a new entry
has just been received by the Aero Club Of
America for the international balloon race
at st. Louis, and the directors Of the club
will meet next week to devise methods
whereby it may be accepted. 1t comes from
Lieut.. Quoika of the Austrian army. He
states that he is the aefonautical instruc-
tor at the army headquarters in Vienna,
and if his entry is accepted he will apply
at once to the government for leave of
absence to come to America with a big
balloon for the contest.
Two difficulties, however, present them
selves for the formal acceptance of the en-
try, the first being that the entries closed
on February l, while the second is due to
the fact that Austria has no national aero
club, and under the cond. tons of the Cor
don Bennett international cup all entries
for the race must be made through the
clubs recognized by the International Aer-
onautical Federation.
Lieut.. Quokas letter indicates that he is
anxious to compete in the race" said
President Cortlandt Field Bishop today,
land we would be glad to have him among
the contestants. 1t will be necessary, how
ever, to obtain the consents of all the other
competing clubs, of the federation in
order to admit him."
Fifteen balloons have entered for the big
race, the foreign clubs being the French,
German, English and Spanish organza-
tons. Lieut.. Quoikas entry is an indica-
ton of the wide interest abroad in the
coming event.

MIMIC WAR RACED
RIVIERA TOURISTS THOUGHT IT
REAL TROUBLE.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS February 9.-Excursionists on
board the German steamer Meteor had
a fright not long ago which some OF
them may remember for the rest OF
their lives. The steamer was crowded
with passengers on their way to the Ri
viera, now at the height of the season, and
was nearing Villefranche. 1t was shortly
after dinner had been served and most OF
the tourists were on deck, when suddenly
a fierce cannonade was directed on the
steamer from all sides.
There were flashes from rapid-flre guns
on port and starboard, dark, ominous-look-
ing torpedo boats, whose outlines were only
now and then distinguished in the flashes
of the guns. were following the steamer.
The fright of the tourists only increased
when every member of the crew and the
deck hands were ordered to their posts as
in cases of serious emergency. The inof-
fensive Meteor was flying the German flag,
and at the time most of the passengers left
Hamburg the fatherland was not at war
with any nation on the face of the globe.
They were too far from the Morocco coast
to make it likely that Barbary pirates were
cruising in the neighborhood of Vile
franche. On the other hand. the men of
war that were pursuing them in the dark
were flying the French flag.
passengers IN Fau1c.
Could war have been declared, and were
they to be the first victims, were questions
asked with anguish by every one. Panic
reigned on board, women looked pale and
tainted and had to be carried to their
cabins. To their great relief the lombard
ment ceased as suddenly as it had begun,
and the steamer reached Villefranche and
anchored in the course of the night with
ont further mOleStatiOn
On the following day the incident was
cleared up. There had been no war de-
clared and no belligerent intention. The
French Mediterranean torpedo fiOtilla was
going through series of maneuvers. The
supposed enemy's ship was discovered just
near the spot where the Meteor was pass
ing. The order to fire blank shots was
given. and guns were fired just as they
would have been in real warfare. If the
tourists on the Meteor had only been in
formed beforehand they would have en-
joyed it immensely. Not If they had paid
double the price for their tickets could they
have been treated to more realistic spec
tace of what a torpedo attack is like in
actual war.

Trenton Bishop Asks Assistance Of
the State

TRENTON, N. j., February 9.-The Ri.
Rev. James A. McFaul bishop of the Cath
Ole diocese of Trenton, has issued a pas
toral on the Christian School, which is
to be fead during Lent in all churches of
the diocese. The bishop champions the
parochial school and gives statistics show
ing that the maintenance Of Catholic
parochial schools on a basis of the cost of
public schools saves the nation $4,000, 900
a year in tuition, Independent of about $3.50,
OO0,C00 that would be necessary for school
houses. He makes a plea for state assist
ance for parochial schools in return for
secular education furnished, providing the
secular education is up to required state
standard. The bishop argues that the teach
ing of religion in the schools is necessary to
the perpetuation of Christianity.
