BALLOON RACE A THRILLER.
San Antonio Travels 800 Miles and
Lands in Canada.

San Antonio Travels 800 Miles and
Lands in Canada.
Chicago July 6.-Spectacular to an
almost unparalleled degree and full Of
thrilling incidents was the race for
aerial honors which came to an end
at 5 o'clock last night, when the Field
ing-San Antonio, with DR.. F. ]. Field
ing and Captain H. q. Honeywell in
the car. dropped at West Sheftord, IN
the province Of Quebec, distance OF
approximately 500 miles from Chicago.
While the Fielding-San Antonio failed
to establish q new record for long dis
lance flight, she kept the air five hours
longer than her closest rival, the llli-
nois, and was declared the winner.
The two balloons had followed an al
most parallel course during their long
flight in the air, and both were sighted
from Picton, Ont. at 1880 o'clock In
the morning. Shortly afterward the
Illinois was seen to plunge rapidly
downward. Below stretched the ex-
panse of the Bay OF Quinte. small
body of water about five miles from
Picton The cars pilot, j. L. Case, and
his assistant, C. H. Perrigo, emptted
said desperately in an attempt to keep
the balloon in the air, but her flight
was over and their efforts proved fu-
tile. The men were plunged into the
waters of the bay, whence they were
rescued by the crew OF a pleasure
craft.
The most spectacular features OF the
long distance event, however, were
furnished by the French balloon, Vile
de Ddeppe, and the Columbia The oc-
cupants OF both escaped death by so
narrow a margin that If the flight were
considered from that viewpoint alone
it would be notable.
The Vile de Dieppe fell into Lake
Michigan at a point about three miles
directly off the west shore and her pill
OF, Captain A. e. Mueller, with his 10
year-old assistant, George Schoeneck,
battled in the darkness for three-Quar-
tiers on an hour half submerged in the
water. BY a display of extraordinary
GOODNESS and skill Captain Mueller
contrived to save his own life and that
of the boy and to bring his balloon
ashore intact.
To do this he sacrificed every ounce
of ballast, cast loose his anchor and
his ground rope, and took his chances

The story Of his escape from what

Of bravado.
The United States, the Chicago and
the Columbia came down dn adjoining
counties in the Province of Ontario,
Canada, soon after daybreak Sunday
morning. at distances ranging from
400 to 500 miles from the starting
point. The Cincinnati, which bumped
into electric light wires as 1t was leav-

Leslie Haddock at Covert, Mich, on
the east shore Of Lake Michigan not
far north of Benton Harbor

Yesterday an alleged man drove
his horse and wagon up to the side
walk while he went into store to
transact some business. The horse
was suffering from a barb wire cut
on the ankle, and shifted from one
foot to the other. After few
minutes the owner came out, ap-
parently angered by something
which had occurred in the store.
Seeing the horse in misery, he
walked up and deliberately kicked
the wound. The horse trembled
i'll fear and agony, while the hu.
man fiend got in his wagon and
drove away. A man is invariably
judged correctly by the treatment
he gives animals in his charge, and
when that man is utterly devoid
of the nobler attributes of sympa-
thy and kindness, he deserves a
place in the chain-gang, where
his diabollcal proclivities can re-
ceive proper attention.-Amarill

THE RESULT.

We once knew business man
who made it point to ask every
person who came into his place
who he was supporting for presi-
dent. 1t made no difference how
big deal he was on or who tho
other man was, at the very first
opportunity he would say, "What
are your pol.tics?" Sometimes
the other man would answer and
sometimes he would evade the
question. If the stranger wasn'
fright" according to the ideas of
the business man, he would set
forth, in eloquent argument. to
make him see the light. That
business man failed, and his as
sets didn't pay forty cents on the
dollar. Across the street from
him was another business man who
was an ardent church member.
Whenever a man came into his
store be would ask him to what
church he belonged, and if he
didn't think the Bible was inspir-
ed. The first thing he wanted to
know about a customer was his re-
ligion. If he didn't get a satisfac-
tory answer he at once turned
evangelist and tried to convert the
wanderer. That man failed the
week after his political neighbor
stepped down and out Both
were good men, but they failed to
grasp the idea of the eternal fit
ness Of things. Politics is all
right on election day, but that
comes only once in two years.
Religion is essential, but few men
have enough for their own use, let
alone giving any of it away.

THEFAULTFINDERs.

It's to be hoped you're not one of the
chronic kind-who never could find any
thing else. But, after all, it does some
times seem necessary to find fault.
When one hears man continually find
ing fault with everyone and everything,
it makes you want him to shut up or
go way back and sit down." We've
heard men who never paid any taxes
never paid cent towards the towns
improvement, and never were credit
to it as citizens-kick about the city Of
ficials, the police force, the fire depart
ment, the streets, the sidewalks, the
business enterprises, the tax rate.
ETC., etc., and it made Us mad clear
through to think that the Lord didn't
give such men sense enough to go some
where else to live.
Moral Don't kick your town. 1t
furnishes you livelihood; it is the
home of your friends and their friends.
But, If your disposition is such that you
can't say good word for it. why take
back seat and saw wood That's all.

FOOL OR WISE MAN

There is said to be somewhere in
this great country an old man who
has q small piece of land, a little
cottage and an income of only IS
week, aud who, nevertheless,
claims to be the happiest being on
earth Doubtless ninety-nine hun
dredths of the population would
laugh at his pretention and call
him a simple old fool, but he is
probably nearer the goal than any
of those who are trying to buy
happiness with money or are 9TH
erwise racing after it with fevered
eagerness, for has he not food,
shelter, clothing, labor, and con-
tentment?
Those who run after happiness
in the usual manner find that when
they've got it, like the Irishman's
flea, it isn't there; for, after all,
happiness, like the kingdom of
heaven, is within the seeker after
it; not in riches, or pleasures, or
power, or fame, or any other ex-
ternal conditions surrounding
him.-Macon Telegraph.

Dear Sir: A few years ago, New
York daily got-up a great agitation for
dollar gas, and got it. The State passed
the law, and the people liked it, of
course, till the bills came.in. The bills
were bigger, not less; the law didn't
say what the gas should be.
The price of gallon of honest paint
is $l.75; but there's paint" all the way
from 35 cents to $l.75. A popular price
is $l,25; there are scores OF paints" at
that price. Like dollar gas.
If S1.75 is the price of gallon Of hon.
est paint, you may be quite sure there
are scores of paints" at all prices from
that down, with paint enough in them
to pass for paint. And what are you
going to do about it?

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

In the State of Georgia there
has been a foolish sentiment
against sending to the national
convention men filling high polit-
zeal positions. Other States send
their best men, Georgia should
do the same. We therefore place
in nomination for the four places
at large from Georgia to the ma
tional convention Governor Hoke
Smith, Congressman VIM. G..
Brantley and Senators A. o. Ba-
con and A. S. Clay.
1t will not matter who are sent
from the different congressional
districts if the men we have named
are sent from the State-at-large.
If our suggestion meets with ia
vor, Georgia will be represented at
the national convention 80 ably
that there is every reason to be.
lieve that the delegation will have
much to do with the writing of the
platform and nominating the can
didates.
They are men with national rep
utations. Their opinions are re-
ferred to by democrats and repub-
licans alike all over this land.
They are men of high character,
strong intellect, great powers of
leadership, and will represent
Georgia as no other men in the
State could, Dublin Courier-Dis-
