Only One Aeroplane.

ngton.-From present indica
tions it looks as if the Wright brothers
would be the only contractors to build
a heavier than air flying machine for
the signal corps and that instead of
having three aeroplanes this year only
one will be completed.
A. NJ. Herring of New York has not
signed his contract with the signal
corps, although his offer was accepted
by the government. II is said he may
not be able to fulfill his expectations
and may withdraw.
]. f. Scott of Chicago, who offered
to build flying machine for $1,000,
has now announced his intention of not
keeping to his promise, on the ground
that the work will be much more ex.
pensive than he imagined.
This leaves the Wright brothers
alone in the field, as they have signed
their contract with the signal corps
and have already begun work under
the specifications as laid down by the
War Department.
The machine they are to build will
cost $25 1000. is guaranteed to remain
in the air at least one hour, carry two
persons of a combined weight of $50
pounds and have speed of thirty-siX
miles an hour.
The Wright brothers machine must
pass severe tests before it is accepted.
The trial flight of this machine will
take place at Fort Myer. Virginia, not
later than August LIST next. 1t is be.
lieved that the machine may be com
pleted before that date, which will be
gratifying to the government.

TO be dunned" is phrase more
familiar than popular. Yet "to dun"
can claim an ancestry equal or supe-
rior to good many Of the sprigs Of
nobility that frequently land on our
shores. 1t is said that the verb orig
mated in the name of John Dun, a
bailff of Lincoln. in the time OF
Henry VII of England; that it became
proverbial to say of any one who was
slow to pay. that the creditor must
dun him." that is, send Dun after

Dogs in Mohammedan

Dogs in Mohammedan countries
have even more freedom than with us,
not because Mohammedans love them
more, but because it is impious to
kill or molest an animal, however

and yet not be able to eat much be-

for instance, in the case of batcs
of about 10000 little Chinook salmon
that were Matched out at the New
York aquarium.
These young fishes, each about two
inches long, would eat so much that

and yet to feed the whole 10000 took
daily only one pound of liver and a
quart of herring roe, both chopped

sense and good understandings; cum

DEFY THE GOVERNOR.
Mays Landing Grand Jurymen Rail al
 Law Enforcement.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 29.-On the heels of Governor Forts proclamation that he would call out the New Jersey militia and order special session ui the legislature if necessary to put an end to violations of the excise and gambling laws at this resort the astounding defiance by the grand jury as delivered to Judge Trenchard at Mays Landing came like thunder bolt and caused a great sensation throughout the state.
 "The present grand jury" said the foreman, lis made up of representative men recognizing their duties and with the courage to say that such duties have been faithfully performed, no matter what any official might say. be he governor, attorney general or judge. We fully appreciate our rights, and nobody has right to question our deliberations"
 This hurled in open court and in bold defiance of the governors ex- pressed determination to force obedi- ence to the laws of the state relating to the sale of liquor and to gambling aroused situation full of possibilities. Assistant Attorney General Gaskill at once told Judge Trenchard that the grand jurors had violated their oaths of office and had failed to find indict. ments on the evidence submitted. The court immediately discharged the grand jury from further service. Be fore this action had been taken, how ever two indictments had been found in the gambling cases. They are against the alleged proprietor of the so called Millionaires' club, in Chelsea, and a dealer in picture postals.
