SIX CONTESTANTS FOR INTER
NATIONAL TROPHY END voY-
AGES IN THE SEA.
HAVE NARROW ESCAPES
OUT OF TWENTY THREE, GER
MAN BALLOON BusLEY ONLY
ONE NOT REPORTED.

Berlin.-Only one of the twenty
three balloons which started in the
race for the international trophy Sun
day from Schmargendorf is unac-
counted for. This is the German bal
loon Busley, under the command of
Doctor Niemeyer with Hans Hiede,l
mann as assistant.
Dispatches received here Wednes-
day from Cuxhaven announced that
the Spanish contestant, the Castella,
dropped into the ocean six miles north
of Heligoland, and that the navlgators,
Montojo and Robero, were rescued by
fishermen. MontojO said:
1.-The balloon for more than an hour
was sometimes in and sometimes out
of the water near Heligoland. Finally
we saw fishing boat and we spranG
into the water, where we remained
for some twenty minutes before being
rescued. Two other balloons passed
over Hamburg in our company"
Wednesday evening a dispatch was
received from Mode. Norway, telling
of the descent of the Swiss balloon
Helvetia to the ocean and the rescue
of Colonel Schaeck and e. Messner.
The dispatch says:
Fishing boat this afternoon rescued
occupants balloon Helvetia at the last
moment as they were sinking, the gas
being totally exhausted. The balloon
was saved Schaeck and Messner will
,f,rh& nv,A Tn
Christiansands tomorrow"
Mode is only thirty-two miles south
west of Christiansands, and to reach
this point the Helvetia must have tray
eled about $50 kilometers or 775
miles in direct line, and must have
Travelled over the Skager Rack, or the
still greater body of the North Sea.
This is by far the greatest distance re.
ported to the credit of any of the CON
testants, the majority of whom either
took somewhat circular course or
were compelled to descend on account
of their proximity to water.
The Helvetia is the fifth balloon
among the international contestants
to come to grief; the Conqueror and
and the ST Louis and Castella were
wrecked in the North Sea. Although
TO casualties followed these disasters.
the escape of the ten men who were
in the unfortunate balloons was al
most miraculous.
A second report came from nolde
late Wednesday night, stating that an
other balloon was reported to have
landed in Norway, about the same
place as the Helvetia. The Aero club
officials here are doubtful of this and
believe the report is simply another
version of the Helvetia's landing.
A report received here from Wan
gerloog island. in the North Sea. says
a balloon passed over there Tuesday.
Fourteen German torpedo boats are
searching the North Sea for the miss
ing balloon.
N. H. Arnold and Harry J. Hewitt,
the two American aeronauts OF North
Adams, Massachusetts, who were res
cued from their balloon, the st. Louis,
in the North Sea Tuesday, arrived in
Berlin today. Mr.. Hewitts right hand
was badly lacerated by one of the an
Choir ropes of the balloon, but other
wise neither man sustained any harm
on their adventurous trip.

Pennsylvania New York Tunnels.


Sixteen and half miles of tunnel

the center of New York city were
completed when the second of the
two tunnels through the Bergen hill
in Jersey City was holed through.
The two single track tunnels under
Bergen hill are each more than a mile
long aud portions were driven through
very hard trap rock, necessitating the
use of $40 tons of dynamite and three
years of work.
AS the tunnels approach the Hudson
river they are so depressed as to con.

into the proposed new station at
Thirty-third street and Seventh ave-

From that station eastward tunnels
extend across Manhattan island and

STATE Highway Commissioner Hunter
advocates a trunk highway running
through the state, north and south and
east and west, and adds: "There should
be roads traversing every county or man
road. These trunk roads and primary
roads should be paid for and maintained
entirely by the state and be exclusively
under the supervision and control of the
state authorities. All roads tapping these
trunk and primary or main roads should
also be built and maintained by the state,
while strictly local roads that do not at
any point touch the trunk or main roads
should be built, maintained and con-
trolled as at present by the authorities of
the townships in which they lie. One
thing which should be done by the next
legislature is to give the state highway
department, without regard to petitions
from supervisors and county commission
ers, the right to build connecting roads,
that is, sections to connect two or more
stretches of good roads already con-
structed."

THE League of Republican Clubs Of
New York, to ascertain the sentiment OF
the voters on the Presidency, has just
completed a canvass of the State, the
seventh it has made in fifteen months.
1t shows that Roosevelt is the almost
unanimous choice, less than two per cent.
of those who sent replies to questions
asked them having expressed opposition
to the President or preference for another
candidate. The general elefappears to
be that any of the Republican candidates
can be elected, but with Roosevelt lead
ing the ticket every doubt both in the
State and Nation would be removed.

EX-SENATOR j. W. LEE died suddenly
at his home in Pittsburg Monday night
about 10 o'clock, from heart disease,
which trouble had affected his health for
several weeks although Lis condition was
at no time considered critical. In the
death of this able man the State loses one
of its noblest specimens of humanity. A
man of strong will, yet tender hearted as
a child, an able lawyer, broad minded,
energetic, full of life, and above all abso-
lutely incorruptible, his taking off is in.
deed deplorable from a human stand
point. The country has few such as Mr..
Lee to spare, and the passing of one like
he leaves gap which is hard to fill. Sem
ator Lee was aged nearly so years, being
born at Sharon, July II, lsi5. He is sur
vived by his widow and one daughter.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal condition

PHILOSOPHY from the Punxy Spirit
The man who boasts that he believes in
no sect or creed, or is guided by no ethi-
cal system save his conscience, is mis-
taken about it. He is Pharisee. AS a
foundation for conscience-presumed to
be mans guide in the matter of upright
eousness ofcharacter-he must have some
authority which he recognizes. To get
his morals from his environment is dan
gerous, for his environment may have
low standards, and such man is likely
to go wrong at any time.

THE postoffice department issued an
order permitting any firm after duly reg
istering, to perforate stamps with initials
or devices so small as not to greatly de-
face the stamp and yet large enough to be
easily observed. This is a step in the
direction of preventing the continued
theft of postage stamps from large corpo-
rations. 1t is we'll known that many
employees have way of abstracting post
age stamps in large quantities and selling
them. Burglars always look on postage
stamps as potential cash, for they can
always be disposed of The object of the
new regulation is to brand the stamps so
that any person buying them does so with
the full knowledge that they are stolen
property. This makes it more difficult
to dispose of the stamps, although, of
course, it will not fully prevent theft.
The stamps will he perfectly good, no
matter by whom affixed, but they can be
traced little more easily and may be of
use Ia detecting fobbeties.
