Cut Off with Shilling.

We often hear the threat of being
"cut off with a shilling" by our pecu-
liar and crochety relatives, but the fol-
lowing clause OF win is literal execu.
tion Of 1t which would not be consid-
cred by many of us to be very ef-
fective salve for the pain attending
their demise:
Whereas, 1t was my misfortune to
be made very uneasy by Elizabeth
M, my wife, from our marriage, by
her turbulent behavior, for she was
not content with despising my admoni-
tions, but she contrlved every method
to make me unhappy; she was so per.
verse in her nature that she would not
be reclaimed, but seems only to be
born to be a plague to me. The
strength of Samson, the knowledge OF
Homer, the prudence Of Augustus. the
cunning OF Pyrrhus, the patience Of
Job, the subtlety Of Hannibal, and the
watchfulness of Hermogenes could
not have been sufficient to subdue
her; for no skill or force in the world
could make her good; and as we have
lived separate and apart from each
other for eight years, and she having
perverted her son to leave and hctH-
ally abandon me, therefore, Egive her

AfR0PLANE FLIES
LIKE GIANT BIRD
Henri Farman Gives Demon
stration With His Heavier
Than-Air Machine.
AT SPEED OF EXPRESS TRAIN
Photographers Knocked Flat by Breeze
From Propellers When Farman
Tests Motor.

New York, Aug 2-Rising from the
ground like a giant bird and darling
through the air at express train
speed, Henri Farmans aeroplane, the
heavier-than-air flying machine he
brought here from France TO demon,
strate his ability to fly, made it's in
itial flight in this country late yester-
day afternoon at Brighton Beach. 1t
rose from an especially prepared run
way at the will of the inventor and
after attaining height of twenty-five
feet, flew straight ahead on direct
line, finally alighting with exquisite
grace when the noted air pilot dimin-
ished the motive power.
Farman is Rugged.
During the brief space of time in
which the aeroplane was skimming
over the center field of the race
track, the few hundred spectators,
most Of whom were friends of the in
ventor or rival aviators, watched the
flight with breathless interest The
instant the trim looking machine land
ed cheers rent the air-cheers far
more enthusiastic and vociferous than
those of race track crowd Farman
was surrounded and literally Rugged
by the jubilant aeronauts. Members
of the Aero Club of America, under
whose auspices Farman will conduct
his public flights at Brighton Beach,
wanted to carry the successful in
ventor off the field Oh their shoulders.
Photographers ToppIed over.
Newspaper photographers crowded
around the aernoaut to get pictures
of the machine as it was about to
make it's first flight in America, and it
cided to make another test of the mo-
tor before flying. He instructed his
French mechanics in their native
tongue to hold fast TO the aeropane
while he turned on the power. In
stantly the propeller began to revolve
at the rate of 1.400 revolutions to the
minute and breeze equal to small
cyclone was created. The photogra-
piers were knocked flat and plastered
to the ground until the power was
turned off. SO great was the violence
of the breeze that several willow trees
were bent double. Farman laughingly
said he guessed the machinery was
working all right.
Shoots Into the Air Like Magic.
Then, when the crowd had been
waved back. he gave the order, Let
60" and away sped the aeroplane
over the plank roadway 1t ran swift
ly along on it's wheel for 24O yards
and tlien Farman turned a lever
which sent it into the air like magic,
and away it flew. The propeller made
whirring noise as it turned 500
times to the minute. Only $50 yards
were covered in the air in this flight,
but few minutes later Farman made
another try and travelled $50 yards in
the air. He could have gone much
further he said, but feared striking a
pile of lumber.

MEETS MEET S AWFUL FIAIIIEE!N ACCIDENT!
j. Winthrop Sands, stepson Of W. K.
Vanderbilt, Is Killed in
France.

Paris, July 31-In one of the most
,ia1sible automobile accidents in many
fs in France, G. Winthrop Sands,
b stepson of W. K. Vanderbilt, was
killed yesterday morning just outside
the grounds of Mr.. Vanderbilt's Beau
tiful country seat, the Chateau st.
Louis de Poissy, twenty miles from
Paris.
Mr. Sands was driving his fifty
horsepower car along at terrific
clip, in desire to reach the chateau,
where Mrs. Sands and her infant
daughter were staying. He had al.
ways been known as reckless
driver, and as he had been delayed
at railroad crossings, he opened the
throttle wide as he approached the
chateau grounds.
Wrecked Car Takes Fire.
Almost Immediately a tire burst
and the machine crashed into tree,
turning turtle and burying MI Sands
under the forward part and pinnlng
the chauffeur, Pickins, to the ground.
An explosion followed and in mo-
ment the car was in flames.
Peasants working in the adjoining
fields were the only witnesses to the
accident. They rushed to the rescue,
but fearing a further explosion OF
the gasoline tank and deferred by the
sweep of the flames they stood idly
by, not knowing how to give assist
ance to the injured men.
Torn, Bleeding and Burned.
Finally they managed to raise the
rear of the car and release the chauf-
tight, and little later after beating
down the fire, they dragged out the
torn, bleeding and burned body of
Sands.
Help soon arrived from the chateau,
which is in the center of Mr.. Wander
bits great breeding farm. The in
iured men were carried to the house,
where it was found that Sands was
beyond hope of recovery but that the
chauffeur was not seriously injured.
PitifuI Human Wreck.
A doctor summoned from Poissy ar
rived soon afterward, but Mr.. Sands
was beyond mortal aid. Never had
he seen, the doctor said, such a pitt
full human wreck. The stump of a leg
had been burned to a crisp, the face
and body were black and scared with
flames. In addition to terrible inter-
nal injuries, Mr.. Sands right arm and
shoulder were broken. The physician
could only try to alleviate his suffer
ings with opiates. Several times the
man regained consciousness and cried
out in agony, his last words being a
cry for water.
The chauffeur says that the car was
travelling at the rate of about seventy
five miles an hour when the accident
happened.
