he could scarcely realize such a

ated the hospitality extended him by
his former patients and friends.

MORE AIRSHIPS FLY
SUCCESSFUL ASCENSION in FRANCE BY
AMERICAN AERONAUT
Aeroplane Travels a Mile a Minute 5O
feet from Ground

Iemans. France, Aug. 10.-W1lDur
Wright. the Dayton (Ohio) aeroplan-
ist. made a successful ascension here
shortly before 8 o'clock this even
ing, The machine flew about two Kill
ometers 1.24 miles, in 1 minute and
AZ seconds. official time. Owing to
the lateness of the hour Mr.. Wright
decided not to try longer run. The
flight was viewed by several thousand
people.
The evolution were carried out with
the same ease and mastery as those
of Saturday. Mr.. Wright caused the
machine to swerve out of direct line
of flight and to describe two loops
like a great figure eight. He sailed
I'D and down the field at varying
heights, and finally landed directly in
front of the grandstand to the accom-
pani1nent of a burst of applause.
M. Delagrange, the well-known
aeronant. who was the first person to
seize Mr.. Wright's hand after the
exhibition, told the Associated Press
that Mr.. Wright certainly was a mar
vel. Leon Bollee, another expert, was
of the opinion that the Wright machine
showed the greatest perfection of any
he had seen. Il consider Mr.. Wright
a genius" added M. Boliee. "His only
mistake lies in his trying to make
all the parts of his machine himself,
for with the aid of experts in their
manufacture he undoubtedly would
have a finer and better whole"
Mr.. Wright has been offered 100000
for the sole right to manufacture ma
chimes in France according to his
patents.

Do Not 'DOctOr" Trees.

State Zoologist Surface, of Penn
sylyania, has given an emphatic an
swer to man who wrote to him to
ascertain if placing medicine, such
as calomel, in trees would not be
beneficial in cases where trees are af-
fected with scale.
DR.. Surface wrote: There is moth
ing that you can put into a tree that
will enter into the sap and have any
effect in killing the scale or other
pests on it. l have tried various sub
stances just to disprove the common
belief in this fallacy. 1t is remark
able how general is the belief that
something can be injected into tree
that will help it, whereas it should
be remembered that all such sub
stances are quite foreign to the tree,
and it is the nature of the growing
trees to refuse rather than assimilate
such foreign matter"

EDISON PLANS AEROPLANE.
Henry Farman Thinks Machine Is
Better Than His Own.

New York, Aug. 10.-Thomas A. Ed
ison has planned flying machine,
which Henry Farman, the French aero
pianist, thinks is better than the ma
chine he brought from France. So
interested was the Frenchman that he
went out to the Edison laboratories
today to talk with the inventor about
it.
Mr. Edison sent to Mr.. Farman yes
terday plans for a ship that would
ascend from the ground straight up to
the height at which it's flight might
begin. Mr.. Farman's machine, like
that of the Wright brothers, is handi-
capped by the necessity of rising with
RUNNING start on wheels. With the
plans came an invitation to the aero
pianist and his wife to visit Mr.. Edi-
son at Orange. So, with his wife and
William J. Hammer, of the Aero Club,
he went out today.
The main principles on which the
Edison machine will rise and then fly
have been settled by the inventor. He
is satisfied that little more is left
than to put the parts together and
start the flight.
The subject came up the other day
when Augustus Post, of the Aero Club
who is friend of Mr.. Farman, called
on Mr.. Edison. They talked of Far
man and airships, and Mr. Edison sat
down there and then drew a rough
sketch of an airship which he believes
will rise and fly. Mr.. Post brought
the sketch over to Mr.. Farman.

UNION MILLS.

Work on the new bank building at
this place is progressing rapidly un-
der the supervision of John Eline, con-
tractor, who has a number of brick
layers from Hanover, Pa. The brick
work will be completed, if the weather
is favorable, in few days.
The school commissioners are max
ing extensive repairs on our public
school building in this place. Paul
Case, of Westminster, with large
force of workmen, is now engaged on
the work. This building, Carroll
Academy, was erected by private sub
scriptions and donations by our faith
ers and grandfathers IN 1887 not only
for school purposes but for a place
of public worship, and was used as
such until church was erected here
in 1880. Originally 1t contained but
one room, but it could not accommo-
date the increasing number Of school
children and in 1879 an additional
room of "a feet in length was built
in the rear. The structure is of stone
and is the most substantial building
in this village and bids fair to stand
for generations. It IS located in the
center of the village upon Il acre
lot, surrounded by a number of shade
trees, some of which were planted by
our fathers when the building was
erected. If this ground was properly
kept, as it should be, it would make
a fine park. The school children es-
pecially and the public generally of
this place owe a debt of gratitude to
the commissioners of the county for
the comfort and fine appearance of
the building when the repairs are
completed.

IF SOUTH HAD HAD AIRSHIP.
English Expert Thinks COnfederates
Would Have Won War.

Washington, Aug 10.-"If the Con-
federate Army could have had at the
first battle of Bull Run dirigible war
balloon as good as the one that Cap
tain Baldwin has brought to Fort
Myer, your Civil War would probably
not have lasted more than months, %
declared Col.James Templer (retired)
Of the Royal Engineer Corps, who was
until recently in command of the
British army ballooning establish
ment.
Colonel Temp1er, one of the fore
most British authorities on military
ballooning, declared that with dirigi-
bles in their present advanced stage
Confederate observers would have
been able to catch splendid balloon
glimpSeS of the retreating Federal
Army and could have followed up the
Union forces, pressing them hard in
to Washington.
'"The balloon is going to figure in
the next great war. We had more
than so balloons with the British
troops in South Africa, but they were
captive fellows, and not dirigibles."
Colonel Templer arrived on the
Mauretania last Friday. Lieut. Frank
P. Lahm was assigned to take him to
Fort Myer for an inspection of the
Baldwin balloon.
Colonel Templer built the first di-
rigible for the British Army, known as
the Nulli Secundus, and also had
charge of the making Of army diri-
gible No. 2.

Brother Scott Lloyd lost very val

horse was hitched to mower and in
crossing ditch the other horse gave
a sudden jump, breaking the breast
chain, causing the mower to run on

him. This makes the second horse
that Mr.. Lloyd has lost since winter.
Arthur Sittig, of Uniontown, who
expects to take charge of large
creamery in the future, has been max

the past two weeks at Smallwood
creamery. Mr.. Sittig had very un-
pleasant experience Tuesday evening
about o'clock. AS he and Miss Ma
bel Claridge were returning from Win
field they were commanded to halt by
two men. The command frightened
the horse, and after Mr.. Sittig had the
horse under control he seized a cudgel
and went back to the place of hold up
and searched for the miscreants, but
failed to find them. No doubt it is
well for them that they escaped, as
Mr.. Sittig is quite an athlete. Just
imagine his feelings. Miss Claridge
screaming with all her might and
the horse rearing and plunging, and to
add to the confusion, about ten empty
milk cans tumblfng about made a din
that was unbearable.
