Slight Accident Put Edmonia's Rival

Mrs S. was in a Richmond hos

the advent of very black and very
languid maid, who came in one morn
ing to wipe up the floor. Some one
new to talk to, so no time was lost
Il have not seen you working here
before Aren't you new girl?"
Edmonia willingly let the cloth slip
back into the bucket, and sat fat upon
the floor before answering.
"Yas'm, Is new. Is jest washin'
up de floor; but l don't work, Is ed
jikated."
And where were you educated?'
was the next question.

of confidence: There was me an an
other girl workin' in house. She was
cook and l was chambermaid, and

GIRL WAS DELIRIOUS

"An eruption broke out on my

doctor, and he pronounced it to be
eczema of very bad form. He treated
her, but the disease spread to her back.
and then the whole of her head was
affected, and all her hair had to be cut
off. The pain she suffered was eXcru-
ciating, and with that and the heat
and tingling her life was almost un-
bearable. Occasionally she was deliri-

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
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-
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 navigators,
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 Molde, 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 We're sinking, the gas
being totally exhausted. The balloon
was saved. Schaeck and Messner will
remain here over night and go to
Christiansands tomorrow"
Molde is only thirty-two miles south
west of ChTistiansands, and to reach
this point the Helvetia must have tra,-
eled about 1850 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 HelveGa is the fifth balloon
among the international contestants
to come to grief; the Conqueror and
tllt DuISl at IL iiSil ditltuuS'
and the st. Louis and Castella were
wrecked in the North Sea. Although
no casualties followed these disasters,
the escape of the ten men who We're
in the unfortunate balloons was al
most miraculous.
A second report came from Molde
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 Helvetias landing.
A report received here from Wan
gerloog island, in the North Sea, says
balloon passed over there Tuesday.
Fourteen German torpedo boats are
searching the North Sea for the miss
ing balloon.
N II. 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.. Hewitt's 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.
