Balloon Garb the Latest,

Even though women of fashion may
be scared at the thought of ballooning
they probably will keep their fears to
themselves and not show the white
feather, for they would have to be
timid indeed to forego the aerial sport
now that London tailors say practi-
cal yet becoming dress for balloonists
has been designed. One west end tai
lor shows highly attractive costume
of palest green, with a long silk veil
and Canadian mittens. Such zgarb, he
asserts, is just the thing for the ven
turesome woman who wishes to go
sailing round the moon. We all re-
member the craze among women to
wear automobile garb though they
never had ridden in a motor car. May
be similar silly donning of the giants
robe will be seen In the case Of women
who never get higher in the air than a
fat house roof.

ANECDOTES OF DR.. AKED.
Famous -Rritishsr Who Will Preach to
John D. Rockefeller.

hheV. LII. SQdTleS CTcutilCh aheu,
former pastor at Pembroke chapel In
Liverpool, who recently arrived in
New York to take up his duties as
pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church, is an athletic type Of man. and
his manner reminds many of President
Roosevelt. 1t is told of DR.. Aked that
when he was about to take the pas.
torate of Pembroke chapel, Liverpool,
he went fishing at 3 O'Clock one morn
ing and, finding suit Of clothes on
the bank, jumped in to save a sup
posed drowning man. He brought out
the mans dead body. AS result of
the incident Pembroke chapel on the
morning that DR.. Aked preached his
first sermon was crowded to the doors.
People wanted to see a preacher who
had gone fishing at a. m. and who
had jumped into the water to save q
man.
When interviewed somehow the con-
yersation turned first to John D. Rock
efeller, and DR.. Aked rather resented
the idea that he was to be the pastor
OF "Rockefeller's church"
II know nothing of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler." he said, land 1t is rather hard to
Rockefeller's church. He is only pew
holder in the church,
Here some one managed to get in
question as to tainted money, and DR..
Aked frightened up.
81 am not talking now on tainted
money" he said. But perhaps you
| feel like the negro. The story goes
that two negroes were talking when
one OF them asked whether he had
heard that Il certain rich man had
| tainted money.
"'What is this tainted money! ask
ed one
what said the other. 'ain't you
heard what dat is? Well, 1t faint
yours and it faint mine"
| When the Transvaal war crisis be-
gan to approach, lin season and out of
season. to use his own words. .'Dr.
Aked denounced Chamberlain's policy"
When the war began he was the first
and most fervid of the pro-Boers. On
a Sunday, after disastrous week TO
British arms. he announced lecture
in Pembroke chapel dealing with the
South African war. The police expect
ed what would happen and had 200
men at the chapel.
After the service DR.. Aked, his wife
and a deacon got away safely in cab
by Il side entrance. Before the cab
reached the minister's house it was
overtaken by the mob and partially
| wrecked. 1t managed, however, to
reach the house.
DR.. Aked sprang out, fought his way
TO the door, opened it and fought his
way back to help his wife from the
cab TO the house. One man stood in
his way Dr. Aked dealt with him IN
the fashion he has applied to all his
fights. He did not speak to him, he
did not wait to see if the man would
really offer violence-he was in the
way, and Dr. Aked knocked him down
like log
When the minister and his wife were
safe inside the mob amused itself by
wrecking the house from without, MOI
leaving pane of glass unbroken. Fol
five weeks this scene was repeated
every Sunday. For five weeks DR.
Aked denounced his own country under
police protection. Three hundred pc
lice guarded the house and chapel, ant
all the way between the two, back anC
FORTH Dr. Aked was handed from plaiI
clothes man to plain clothes man.

have received positive information and not
to have trusted to his own opinion as to
what the custom should be.
The evidence clearly shows that his ig-
norance Of post orders as to his absence
from duty on the Both Of August was a
willful and nurtured ignorance. 1t is unfor-
tunate that young officer would jeopar-
die his commission and injure his reputa-

contentious disposition in the perform

shown in this case. The department COM
