TRIES MARRIAGE AT 72 YEARS.
NJ. N. Forney Takes Bride Who Has
Seen Sixtv-Three Summers.

BALTIMORE. June 26.-Mrs Annie Vir-
ginia Spear. widow of P. Forney Spear,
was married yesterday to Mr.. M. N. For
ney of New York. The ceremony was per-
formed at the home of the brides sister,
Mrs. H. A. Elliott. That sentiment and
romance have greater endurance than the
average body, was proved by the fact that
the groom has passed the allotted three
score and ten years by two. while the bride
is but nine years younger.
Mr.. Forney is a native Of Pennsylvania
He is mechanical engineer, and was prom
inently connected with the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Illinois Central railroads.
Later he became one of the owners and
editors of the Railroad Gazette, and made
his home in New York after 1870. He is
the author of book on the locomotive,
and has written many other publications
of note about machinery. Mr.. Forney is
the inventor Of the "Forney' locomotive.
which was exclusively used on the elevated
railroads In New York and other cities for
a long time.
Until today" said Mr.. Forney, IT have
lived bachelor all my life, and though
I admit the number Of years I have en-
countered. feel and believe I appear much
younger than that chronology would in
dicate.'

CLOSE CALL FOR BEACHEY.
Airship Worked Well at Start, But
Collided With Buoy

NEW YORK, June GA big cigar
shaped airship sailed across the bay from
Staten Island yesterday, circled around
above the high Office buildings in Brooklyn
and then swept across East river and
alighted gently in the midst of crowd
numbering thousands which had gathered
in Battery Park. A few moments later the
operator set the machinery in motion again
and the ship rose to an altitude of about 500
feet and started northward over the sky
scrapers Of Manhattan Island.
The ship was in charge of Lincoln Beachey,
who seemed to have perfect control over
the big machine from the time he left
Staten Island until it had disappeared from
sight to the north on its second flight
From the starting point on Staten Island
the ship rose to a height of nearly LOCO
feet. Suddenly the ascent halted and the
balloon began to move steadily across the
bay toward the Brooklyn shore. With the
land under him once more, the operator
allowed the ship to descend several hundred
feet and began slowly to circle around over
the highest buildings In the Brooklyn hill
section. After g. few minutes of name uver-
ing Beachey headed the ship across the
river straight for Battery Park He was
then about 800 feet high and circled around
several times before allowing the ship to
descend.
When he came down on the grass plot In
the park a crowd of LOCO pressed around
the ship and so hemmed In the aeronaut
that for some time he was unable to get
out of the car.
After the crowd had been forced back by
the police Beachey again entered the car
and moment later the big machine was in
full flight over the skyscrapers.
After passing over Manhattan Mr.. Beachey
sent his airship out over the East river to-
ward Long Island sound. N some manner
he collided with spindle which marks
ledge at the Sunken Meadows, his airship
was badly damaged and he was thrown into
the water. He was rescued by a boatman
when much exhausted.

LOST FOR THIRTY HOURS AT SEA.
Ihrfll1ng Experience Of New Workers.
in q Gasoline launch.

NEW YORK, June 2e.-After giving
themselves up for lost, when they found
that their tiny gasoline launch had drifted
out into the open ocean in the sudden fog
that swept over the Long Island shore on
Sunday evening, William Masaud man.
ager of the Alhambra Theater of Harlan
and his wife were picked I'D late Monday
night in a semi-conscious condition nv the

where in sight, the occupants of tie launch
practically gave up hope. and gradually
sank into stupor in tie bottom Of the
launch Then the returning tide caught uu
the little craft and slowly swept it back
into the beaten track.
When the launch was sighted nv the can
tain of the Helen and Frank McAvoy there
was no sight Of life on board and it was
not until the latter craft was actually
picked up that the presence of the theat-
They were revived to full consciousness
with difficulty and cared for by the crew.
Mr.. and Mrs. Masaud started out on an
aimless cruise off Bergen Beach Sunday af-
ternoon. They intended to go to Rock
away Beach for dinner, and took no sup
plies from the beach cottage which they
have rented for the summer When some
distance off shore they came across James
Mcintyre of Mcintyre and Heath Of Ham
Tree" fame, who had a party of friends in
his launch, the Random.
Mcintyre saw the fog rolling in and adj
vised Masaud, who did not know the coast,
to keep the Capitola close to the Random
The fog settled down over the two launches
and for a time they kept together, healing
for Rockaway Point. In some manner they
became separated. After an erratic course
Mcintyre, in the Random, finally made

drift. When daylight came and land was
nowhere in sight he decided that he had
turned around in the fog and steamed out
to sea during the night.
According to the theatrical man, he and
his wife gradually lost consciousness dur
ing the agonizng day, and long before they
had drifted back in sight Of the coast they
had given up hope. They did not know tina
the tide had carried them back over their
erratic course Of Sunday night, nor did they
think of putting out distress signals. The
Helen and Frank took them to Canarse
where they spent Monday night. They were
taken to their Bergen Beach cottage yes
terday, and their physician says in a few
days they will be none the worse for their
thirty-hour drifting experience.

tial Campaign.

HAVANA. June pa duel was fought
Monday in the town Of Calbazes Havana
province, between Miguel Hernandez and
Gabriel Lopez Garcia, the first a partisan
Of Senior Zayas and the other partisan of
Gen. Gomez. The dispute began in a dis
cussion about the respective merits of the
presidential candidates. when Garcia used
strong language against Zayas. Then they
decided to fight it out. The weapons used
were revolvers. and Garcia was shot
through the left arm.
The official report by Gov Nunez of Ha-
vana says the cause of the fight was a
political discussion. and that both men
struggled long time with their fists before
resorting to arms. Hernandez was we'll
known leader In the revolution against Pal
ma. Garcia is prominent liberal also.
This same personal animosty between Zay-
assists and GomeZists prevails in every city
and town on the island. though the ma
jority of the people are Indifferent to such
Quarrels.

TEACHERS HARRASSED.

The Board of Education, it is be-
lieved, will adopt strictly business meth
ods during its existence and place all
the schools upon a strictly practical, bus
mess basis. The Boards attention IS
called to the harrassing methods OF per
sons who have been delegated a little
authority and seem to exercise that au-
thority upon helpless and inofenslve
teachers. 1t is common thing for Ne
gro supervisors to harrass teachers. 1t
is hoped that Assistant Superintendent
Bruce will see to it that the supervisors
under him do their duty and respect
their teachers.
The next Congress will be asked to
abolish the offices of supervisors. Ihey
are expensive and unnecessary.

The Washington bee., 1907-08-17

has been rent asunder For nearly one
year the D. G. L. No. 23 of Alabama
has been on the verge of being torn
to pieces by a set of oficeseekers,, job
hunters, grafters and corrupted politi-
clans, who are trying to assume the reins
of government without consent of the
people
Believing that We (the people, are
right. and fully convinced that the laws
of order vests the power Of representa-
ton, legislation and election in the SOW
erign people, and not in the oficeseekers
and peace destroyers who would break
up the peace and happiness of every
lodge in Alabama for few paltry dol
lars, we desire TO be heard. Politics
being foreign to our purpose. only the
greatest good to the people most in
terested is what we desire. To those
who are groping in the darkness, let US
lead you into the light by presenting
these facts:
We the members Of Alabama, through
unremitting toll, and years of great sac
rifce and the superhuman efforts of Our
matchless D. G. NJ. c. A. Howe, have
built up an Endowment System that now
stands out pre-eminently at the head Of
all beneficial and fraternal associations
of Alabama, and is the pride of every
true Odd Fellow in the State; in fact,
so well was the grand old order pro-
crossing that it attracted the longing
eyes and itching palms of the politician.
Six months before the sitting Of the D.
G. L. which met in the city Of Florence,
Alabama, August 8 to 10, 1906, there
met in the city of Birmingham, Ala. a
gang of politicians who styled them
selves as Odd Fellows, and organized a
campaign; drew on the different candi-
dates who were aspiring for office, and
created a campaign fund, after deciding
on the amount that each candidate must
pay They hired men to visit all the
lodges in the State where they thought
they could predominant over the election
in the subordinate lodges (without pro
test of the members) and see to it that
men were elected that would support the
gang at Florence. After the gang had
exhausted the fund, sending men through
he State, and flooded every lodge in
