Wright regained consciousness at
the hospital and dictated a cablegram
to his brother Wilbur at Lemans.
France, and requested the same mes
sage to be sent to his sister and
father at Dayton, Ohio, assuring them
that he was all right Two thousand
persons were at the aeronautical
testing grounds at Fort Myer this
afternoon when the accident happen
ed. Several days ago Wright an
nounced that he would take Lieuten-
ant Selfridge, who is secretary of the

aeroplanist himself, in his next flight.
Lieutenant Selfridge was scheduled
to leave on Saturday for Fort st.
Joseph, Missouri. where he was to as
sist Lieutenant Fouler in operating
the Baldwin airship at the coming
army maneuvers.
After Wright told him to get in the
machine, Lieutenant Selfridge took
off his coat and hat and took his seat
next to that occupied by Wright. The
latter started the motor by means of
a storage battery, his assistants, Tay-
lor and Furnass, turning the propel-
lers to get them going. At STA the
aeroplane was released, but it was
noticed that it did not rise as quickly
from the ground as on the previous
two-man flights Selfridge weighed
about It's pounds. making greater
weight than the machine ever carried
before. After gliding over the
ground on runners for thirty feet the
machine rose gradually and had gain
ed height of forty feet when 1t
passed over the starting apparatus for
the first time. There was a six-mile
wind blowing, but the aeroplanist.
however, apparently had complete
control of the aerial flyer, which rose
70 height OF seventy-fiye feet as he
completed the second round. This
height was maintained for the third
round. While the machine was turn
ing at the southern end of the field

tators, some one shouted, Whats
that? something fell" Immediately
all eyes were on the aeroplane and II

complete turn came sweeping to
earth In cloud of dust No effort on
the part of the navigator could pos

In Memory Elvira T.. Smith.

She is sleeping, calmly sleeping, in a
new made grave to-day;
We are weeping, sadly weeping, for
our darling gone away.
One by one the gentle Shepherd gath
ers lambs from every fold,
Takes them to his loving bosom with
tenderness untold.
She Is singing, sweetly singing, in
the Paradise above,
Where celestial courts are ringing
with the melody of love;
One by one the Saviour gathers
earthly Ministries for his own,
And our Elvira joins the chorus Of
the angels round the throne.
She is blooming, brightly blooming,
mid the fairest flowers Of light,
In the garden Of sweet Eden, where
ths flowers never blight.
One by one the Father gathers choic-
est flowers, rich and rare,
And tranSplants them In His garden;
they will bloom forever there
She Is waiting. ever waiting, for the
friends she loved the best,
And she'll gladly hail their coming to
the mansion of the blest.
One by one the Lord will call us, as
our labor here is done,
And as then we cross the river we
may meet her, one by one.
