L. Hart, city treasurer of Wilkesbarre,

himself humorously as an unknown
hero being a democrat from the state
of Pennsylvania
Following the serving of refreshments
Mrs. Martha S. Million of Alabama gave
selection in the negro dialect, and Mrs.
LaSalle Cabell Pickett gave a recitation
Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood. introduced by
Mr. Early as the Daughter of the Regi-
ment, made brief address.
In his address of welcome Mr.. Mac
farland said:
The District government is very glad
to have you in Washington" sad Mr..
Macfarland in welcoming the guests. 1T
hopes that you will come oftener and
stay longer We believe that you feel
the same interest in the National capital
the same pride in its present the same
desire to make it's future greater and more
beautiful, which we who live here feel
We are glad to believe that your influence
multiplied as it is by your pens to mag
nitude thousands of times greater than
that of the influence of the average citi-
zen, will be eXerted in support of the pans
for the development and establishment of
the nations city. Every intelligent Amer
lean wants to visit Washington, but mil
lions OF them have never been able to do
so.
You can tell them its history, its con-
dition, Its prospects. and can stimulate
their patriotic endeavors to make 1t more
pCiicCt Piiy ana morally. Many OIL
them know very little about Washing
ton, although they wish it well in every
respect Many of them believe that the
national government pays the whole ex-
pense of maintaining the National capi-
tai. They apparently approve what they
think to be the fact. You can tell them
that the national government pays only
half. while the $4,000 people living
here pay the other half, and that prior
to 1873, when the present form of the
District government was established the
District taxpayers paid it ALL
"Government by Opinion"
"You can tell them of the proposition
that the District taxpayers should pay
reasonable taxation, while the national
government should pay all the rest of the
necessary expense. whatever it may be.
Many of them think we have universal
suffI age here. You cen tel! them that we
have not. but that we have self-govern-
ment by public opinion, which expresses
itself not once "a year through ballots cast

HANGING FROM TRANSoM.
New York Domestic's Suicide Fol-

Trust thysef to Jesus when conscious

The body was found hanging from
transom by piece of clothes line today
by the physicians wife.
The girl had been detected stealing
small articles and the police were noti-

The trophy offered by the Scientific
American is also for this latter class,
known as heavier-than-air machines. II
any of the aeroplanes survive the first
contest they will probably try for the last
named trophy
In the drgible balloon event the con-
teStants are required to sail around q set
course in continuous flight, and those
making the fastest time secure the prizes.
In the contest for the heavier-than-air
flying machines, the prizes are to be
awarded to the competitors making the
longest or best continuous flights. In
making Its decisions the committee has
the power to take into consideration
height distance and speed-speed In fall
ing from specific height not, however,
to be considered. In this contest no ma
chine is entered in more than one con-
test, as it is considered a bit uncertain
whether it would be in a condition to
make the second flight.
Notable Visitors.
An interesting feature In connection
with the present tournament Is the series
of experiments that are being made to
determine the air currents. They have
been in progress for the past two weeks
under the direction of Prof. S. P. Fer
guson of the Blue Hill (MassD observa-
small balloons in that time, each with an
instrument attached and what the aver
age st. Louisian doesn't know about the
breezes that are now blowing about his
head isn't worth while.
a feature of the tournament will also
be the work of the ar bicycle, which will
be sailed by it's fourteen -year-old inven-
tor, Cromwell Dixon.
Among the notable persons in attend
ance at the races, but who will not at
tp poY,t Vlr Low, y,fI Gro,
ham Bell, the inventor of the Bell tele-
phone, and John II. White. president of
the International Life Underwriters As
Sociation. 1t is understood that both are
here for the express purpose of gather
ing statistics Dr. Bell has already in
vented a number of airships and ex-
poets to determine during the present
tournament the most scientific method of
flying. Mr.. White has prepared a table of
insurance risks which comprises every
possible hazard. and is now endeavoring
to discover by actual experience whether
or no the rate on balloonists should be
raised.
1t may be interesting information to
those who have watched from afar the
ascents made by Capt Baldwin's Califor-
MIA Arrow to know that there are physi-
cal reasons why the celebrated inventor
has never been able to sail his own ship
He tips the scale at 210 pounds and the
ships he has heretofore made have been
designed for lighter men. His latest Ship
however, is plenty large enough to carry
the inventor, provided the hydrogen gas
furnished is pure and well dried.
Starting Time Fixed.
Four o'clock was fixed as the starting
time for the first balloon in Monday
afternoons race for the James Gordon
Bennett cup. The time was determined
on at a meeting of the contest commit
tee at the Hotel jefferson
The interval between the starting of
the differept balloons, it was decided, will
be five minutes.
This will mean that, unless air currents
are very rapid, most of the balloons will
be In sight at once from the aeronautic
concourse on Kings highway.

parting he declared at his hotel that
the literature he has sent out regard
ing his particular hobby, together with
his personal efforts has already gained
1000 new members in the New York
city orchard for the Apple Club of
America, which had its inception in the
Windy City where, he belongs.
To be an Appleite you must either
have or acquire an appetite for ap-
pies, for you must first take a solemn
oath to assimilate at least one apple n
day. You also have to pledge your
self to urge all your friends to Join

If eating one apple a day will make
a person healthy, Tomlinson's ruddy
cheeks and stalwart frame would ind
cate that his daily allowance is at least

viewers yesterday he at once extended
to them hospitality in the shape u a
