Good Election Results.

Lovers of clean politics and the peoples rights
will experience great satisfaction in realizing the
significance of the election returns from New York,
Cleveland and presumably from San Francisco.
In the great metropolis mongrel union of If
reconcable forces had been made against Tammany
and it failed. With all its faults, Tammanys sue
cess is better than a triumph for Republicanism
masquerading the independence League of Mr..
Hearst and better than municipal ownership move
ment masqueradng Republicanism.
In Cleveland Tom L. Johnson that sturdy friend
of humanity, elected for his fourth term in
the mayoraty, despite the interjection of the per-
sonality of President Roosevelt into the contro-
versy In addition to the actual issues originally
involved including three-cent fare the street rail-
ways and a work toward municipal ownership of
public utilities there was sharp division in Cleve
land due to the attempt to govern the local affairs
of that city from the White House at Washington
The problems of the Nation large enough and
complicated enough for even the universal genius
who presdes as National executive, without any
attempt his part to designate his personal favor
ties for the various mayoralties of the republic
There something incongruous, too, in an oppo-
ston by Theodore Roosevelt to Tom. L. Johnson
Mr. Johnson was laboring for the reforms which
now Mr. Roosevelt calls his own, long before Mr.
Roosevelt was in public life, and Mr.. Johnson
Mayor of Cleveland has exerted all the power of
his office and all his personal popularity in the
achievement of his righteous aims. 1t ridicu-
lous anomaly for Mr.. Roosevelt to claim the sup
port of all good citizens in support of the party be-
of his so-caled work in the interests of all
the people, and yet to oppose another candidate of
equally high motives and achievements with
chine politician.
At the hour of present writing meager reports
from San Francisco indicate the election of Mayor
Taylor who selected for his present place after
the fall of Schmitz. Taylor stands for good gov
ernment and with the aid of District Attorney Lang
don, who has been reelected as the first reports
show, the Mayor will be able to restore San Fran
cisco to the respect and consideration of mankind.

Mr. Gdden may be right in thinking the time
near at hand when we shall order balloon
order a carriage-his prophetic gift has been ap-
proved as to automobiling- should hope his
forthcoming Aero Club of New England will broad
en- its interest beyond the field of sport 1t was
the successful concentration of great power IN little
space in the motors for automobiles that gave aero
nauts its recent very hopeful and exciting new
start and the automobiles really belong in the quest
for the practical "heaver-than-ar device for navi-
cation of the air.
The serious side of the study of aeronautics, the
problems of flight without dependence upon the lift
ing power of the unwieldy and dangerous gas bag,
was down in the prospectus of the recent exhibitions
at ST. Louis but did not materialize in the per-
formances after all Perhaps this it should
be- The principal experimenters engaged on the
real problems of practical, useful and safe employ
ment of the atmosphere as a navigable too
much in earnest, and perhaps too near the grasplng
of the inconceivably immense prize of success in
the world of the air, to lend themselves to any
popular spectacle or to any contest undertaken
largely for the sake of competition and the attendant
betting. AS Mark Twain taught many years ago,
Americans will bet on anything they match,
even leapng frogs, and they will load one of the
frogs with shot to win. The most important adj
vances in the navigation of the air of recent years
were not represented at ST. Louis in the public
displays at least and they could not well be, for
they are the preliminary experiments, the patient,
personal training in the practice of the management
of motoress machines. The experiments of Lien-
thai and those of Chanue, and the Wright brothers
after their initiative and the experiments of Pro-
fessor Bell in the lifting power of kites, the
type of studies that the right road-the
road where the end not in sight, much less already
practically reached, as is the with balooning.
There is whole liberal education in aeronautics
in the practising of the gliding flight with aeroplanes
by 1eaping into the air from height supported by
wing-ike structures of bamboo rods and muslin.
Lives have been lost in such flights, which have by
some awkwardness been converted into falls. From
this education in downward gliding the next step in
progression is to the upward flight in towed
planes A horse, an automobile or motor boat
may be employed to furnish the pull by which the
kite-lke structure is induced to mount like kite
with its human loading. The course of experiment
described by L. ]. Lesh for the Scientific American
will serve as good example of the daring and
skill required in this sort of work. Mr. Lesh is
expert who perfectly conscious that in all this
he is but preparing for the day when he bring
his acquired confidence and hardness in meeting
and dealing with the unexpected to bear aero
plane driven by its power and making for itself
the wind by which it rises. In this series of flights

POINT FOR "EDDYITES.',
Judge to Appoint Master to Deter
mine Leaders, COmpetencY.

Concord, y. H, June 10.-The defendants in the
suit brought by the next friends of Mrs Mary
Baker G. Eddy, the aged head of the Christian
Science denomination, asking for accounting of
Mrs Eddy's property successful in carrying
point to-day. when Judge Robert n. Chamberln.
Of the Merrimack Superior Court announced that
ne would within a week appoint a master to con-
duct hearings and take testimony to determine II
MIS- Eddy Is competent to manage her own affairs
Io-days proceedings were scheduled be a hear
ing on a motion on the part OF Mrs Eddy and her
three trustees, Henry N. Baker Archibald McIeI
ian and Josiah f. Fernald. to have the equity pro
ceedlngs brought by the next friends against
Mrs. Eddy's secretary. Calvin A. Frye and nine
other prominent Christian Scientists dismissed on
me ground that the action not brought in
GOOD faith. Shortly after General Streeter who
represented both the trustees and Mrs. Eddy had
begun MS address 10 the court, he announced that
ne would suspend the right to bring up the legal
questions involved at this time but would agree 70
the immediate settlement OF the matter Of Mrs
EddY's competency, inasmuch as he understood that
the court wished that phase of the case disposed OF
General Streeter asked that master be appointed
20 conduct the hearings the matter Of Mrs
hddys competency, while the ATTORNEYS for tho
next friends argued that Mrs Eddy's competency
be established before a Jury, or. as Dewitt c
Ho"e' or counsel for the next friends" expressed
1t TO the court, we wish her competency to be
tried as that Of any humble person would be tried"
A feature of to-day's proceedings was the declara-
ton Of General Streeter that tho suit for an &C
counting Of Mrs. Eddy's property was not brought
by her son, George ". Glover, OF Lead, S D, and
the others who appear next friends" but was
instituted at the instigation OF a New York news

GOULD MAY SUE WIFE.
P'cf0ry in fiction for Separation
~ oHtd Relieve Him of 4Emony.

interest was added yesterday TO Mrs Howard
GouId s suit for separation from her husband
"leh II was rumored that Mr.. Gould would
oflhg similar action against her. It was said
lilat ne would give his grounds her alleged
temper habits and extravaganza. If Mr. Gould
brought such suit and was successful he would
escape paying his wife any alimony, and this
ruInor is said to have caused much excitement
among Mrs Gould and her friends.
Both Delaney Nicoll, Mr.. Gould's attorney
and Clarence ]. Shearn. representing Mrs. Gould
submitted briefs to Justice Mccall yesterday
relative to the motion made last week by Mr.
Nicoll TO strike from Mrs. Gould's bill of COM
paint certain allegations being irrelevant and
scandalous The briefs contain the authorities
that both counsel cite in support of their claims
Justice Mccall took the papers and an early
decision is looked for
1t is expected that Mr.. Shearn will apply this
week for alimony for his client while the suit
Is pending. 1t was said good authority that
the amount asked Tor would he over $500 900
a year. or about one-fourth of Mr.. Gould's al
legged yearly income. A referee will be appointed
TO decide the amount of alimony, $ such
demand by the plaintiff is certain to be met with
bitter fight.
Mr.. Gould is taking active part in the fight
and spends most of his afternoons the Office
Of his l-gDscl He has determined TO remain in
New FORK all summer, 10 be near Mr.. Nicou
The case Will not come TO trial until late in the
fall and by that time those of the Gould family
who viii be called upon 70 testify Will have re-
turned 10 this country from abroad.

VAR on HIGH SIGNS.
O7cners Of BHlbords Hill Fight
Test Case.

Advertisers on signs on buildings in Manhat-
tan Borough yesterday up against the first
Of series of prosecutions to be brought by John
Z. O'Brien, Assistant Corporation Counsel 70
enforce the ordinance OF the Buildings Depart
ment, which regulates these signs allowing
maximum height Of nine feet. This test case
was brought in the Municipal Court and was
fought by the sign people, whose main conten-
ton was that SO long as the signs were safe the
city had no ground for suit. The sign selected
as a test belongs 10 NJ Weinburg & Co. and is
20 feet long and % feet high. The sign proper
that IS, independent OF the supports. Is about
fifteen feet high, the braces making up the diff
ference. These braces are Of steel and are
supposed 10 insure the stability Of the sign
This particular target of the Bureau Of Build
ings Is al the corner OF Broadway and 34th
street.
AS stated. the Buildings Department requires
through ordinances Of the city. that the signs
on buildings shall not be more than nine feet
high. In the prosecutions to be instituted by
Mr. OBren. stress will be laid the element
of danger in the signs. In the suit before Judge
Moore yesterday there effort made by
Mr. O'Brien to prove that the sign dan
gerous. in so far that heavy wind might blow
It down The fact emphasized that the sign
was higher than the city ordinances permitted
The defence was conducted by Henry w. Hodge
who has occasionally been employed by the
city who called attention TO the fact that there
was no question as TO the safety OF the sign.
But the Assistant Corporation Counsel referred
10 recent decision Of the Appellate Division Of
the Supreme Court in case in Rochester, in
which It had been shown that the sign was safe
but the prosecution clearly proved that the
height OF the sign greater than that al
lowed by the city. The court decided against
the owners Of the sign after listening TO the
argument. Justice Moore reserved decision
This is but one of many cases on the calendar
to be brought by the city. The sign ereCters,
Mr.. O'Brien said. have been absolutely indtf-
ferent to the city's requirements basing their
disregard upon the theory that safety is the
main thing to be looked out for
There is not big sign on Broadway or in the
adjoining streets that is not likely TO come I'M
der the ban should the city win in yesterdays
test case Should the city lose the case will be
appealed, and the same course Will be pursued
nv the billboard defendants. II Justice Moore
decides against them. CORPORATE ton Counsel Eli
son has given instructions that the ordinance
against the erection OF the gigantic signs that
now line THE Great White Way" or that face
the North and East Rivers. shall be tested In
court and If the law holds good. the signs will
have TO come down TO the nine-foot level The
nenalty for violation of the sign ordinance
