Pianist Wright Expects to Complete
Official Trials Within a Week.
To Try for London Prize.

No flight was attempted with the
Wright flying machine at Fort Myer this
morning. There was a strong wind down
| the starting track and little prospect Of a
| let-up during the day. though the weather
may moderate and the wind go down with
the sun, in which case flight may be
attempted this afternoon
Mr.. Wright planned to go to Fort Myer
| this afternoon to make several flights
for the development of speed. He is ex-
perimenting with spare set of propel-
lers, but will probably replace the two
screws which he has used thus far be-
fore making the official speed trial. When
asked if he would attempt to break the
record again if Wilbur Wright should ex-
coed the record of 1 hour IA min
utes and "a seconds, established by him
Saturday, Orville Wright smiled and said:
Il would be strongly tempted to do so,
and l think 1 would
Mr.. Wright expects to complete the
official trials at Fort Myer within week.
There are two important prizes that Mr..
Wright will probably attempt to capture.
The London Dali Mail offers a prize of
10000 for flight in a heavier-than-air
flying machine from London to Manches-
ter, allowing two stops for fuel. The
Russian government has Just annouced a
series of aerial contests for heavier-than-
air machines, to be neld at St. Peters
burg from July 1 to August Is next.
Mr.. Wright has already signified his in
tention of trying for the London Daily
Mail prize. There have been many
prizes offered for aerial flights he said.
but most of them cannot be won. They
have strings attached to them. l will
investigate the offer of the Russian gov
eminent. From what hear it will prob
ably be worth trying for"

C1ereland, the Commoner.

OF all the heterogeneous celebri-
ties whom It has been my business to
meet, / have never known one as
simple and unaffected as Grover
Cleveland. He had absolutely none
of that veneer of vanity which make.
most great men ridiculous.
He was the only Democratic Presi-
dent since 1861; and mo career in
American history had been more tri-
nmphant and sensational than his:
yet he continued to the last to be as
simple-natured and as ready to listen
to the small talk of the people as
though he had spent his life raising
chickens on a bush farm.
The older he grew the more at
tached he became to the simple life
of the country. He was fond of old
clothes and loose slippers and the
soft grassy earth. Once he told me
with great gusto how George Wash
ingto fed to his farm from the fat
teries and intrigues of public life.
"In 1897" he said, when tho
country demanded that Washington
should leave HIS farm and return to
public life, he squealed like a pig.
He always preferred his farm to the
White House."
He had no aristocratic instincts
not one. He was a commoner to the
core. Every man was man TO
Grover Cleveland. The richest in
dividual had no glamour; and the
poorest had not smudge in his eyes
One morning while he was debating
an interview, a very ragged tramp
came up the path to the house. Mr..
Cleveland opened the door, listened
TO the mans story and sent him away
with half q dollar and good luck
to you" -i-.-.---- ..,--.

"That is a poor man out OF a job.

Jack ashore has put the prophets

had to combat have been great. At

such favors depended upon their be-

to certain extent the honor of their
country was in their keeping.
