LOOKS NO MORE LIKE A BIRD

no tail, has no head, no feet, neither
feathers nor comb, neither breast
nor back, nothing, in fact, that could
be called a body, except the man who
sits in between the two canvas
planes and steers it. Certainly he
doesn't look like any bird or part of
a bird. What the whole thing does
look like, If it looks like anything
except an aerOplane, is man in a
steam grain harvester, except that
he is a little higher off the ground
and when you look under his ma
chine there are no wheels holding
it up.
PrOpellers Like Rakes ON
Harvester.
The two big fan-like propellers be-
hind, which twirl and buzz, resemble
the large revolving rakes on the har-
yester. The pictures of the chariots
in the air, in which the Grecian gods,
or of the one in which Elijah went
up to heaven. except that there is no
fire raging all round it, is a far bet
ter likeness to an aeroplane than
any bird that ever navigated the at
mosphere. But the essential thing
is it flies; the man himself with it's
assistance flies. This man is not
buoyed up by a balloon containing
gas SO that the man, together with
the gas bag and all the fixtures, is
lighter than the air the whole dis
places and must necessarily stay in
the air, but he takes a continuance
weighing 100 or 500 pounds, besides
his own weight, and flies about in the
air like man swimming in the wa
ter. And like the man swimming
in the water he must keep a kicking
to stay up.
Mr.. Wright demonstrated this
week that he could stay up in the
air; that is, that he could keep kick
ing, for good long time, mucn
longer than the average man can
keep swimming. And he has practi-
cally demonstrated that he can stay
up there as long as his fuel for the
engine lasts. The 65 minutes and
| so seconds he stayed up yesterday
will be beaten, of course The next
longest flight of Wright's was some
time back-20 minutes.

A FOOLHARDY ACT.
Man Touched Match to Powder and
Whole Carload Exploded.

Seven persons are dead and thirty
injured, four of whom are not ex-
pected to live, as the result of an
explosion of car of black powder at
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas sta
ton at Windsor, Mo. ~.
When it became known about town
that a car of powder was on the
tracks at the station a number of
curiosity seekers, a majority of
whom were negroes, assembled.
A. f. Hershberger, Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas freight conductor, be-
came annoyed at their presence. In
moving key of powder some of the
explosive fell over. Seeing it on the
ground Hershberger remarked: "I'n
show you how to scare negroes"
He lighted a match and threw it
into the powder. Instantly there was
an explosion that shook the town,
knocked one end off the depot and
shattered windows and stopped clocks
for miles around. The car contain
ing the powder was hurled in every
direction.

HEART THROBS OF NEGROES
FIND RESPONSE IN THE BOSOM

Says He Inherited His Sympathy For
the Race, and Deplores the Utter

anCeS Oh some Public Men,
September 18th. was the fifty
first anniversary of Mr.. Taft's birth.
He delivered an address in Cincin-
natl to an audience of ministers com
posing the Ohio conference of the
African Methodist Episcopal church.
In his address he said he was
there for the purpose of expressing
his sympathy with the negro race
in its struggle for better things. "a
sympathy" he said, which l have
had from the time I was small, for
l inherited it from my father, AL
phonse Taft, in whom the colored
race never had better friend.
Sees Need of Higher Education.
He said he had not always been
in favor of higher education for mem
Ders OF the negro race, but after a
full consideration of the need of the
race l am convinced that | was in
error"
On the subject of race prejudice
and mob violence Mr.. Taft said:
Il don't know that the race bit
terness is any stronger today than
it ever was For a length of time
it seems to be altogether abated and
then there will be an outbreak, a
mob will be formed, developing the
most fiendish cruelty and manifest
ing itself in the blindest and most
unreasonable assaults upon perfectly
innocent people, simply because of
their color. 1t is only fair to say
that such british exhibitions are not
confined to any one section.
1t is impossible to read accounts
of this sort without having ones
blood boil with Indignation that there
can reside in the human breast such
savage and beastly impulse and mo-
tive"

$4,OOO IN BANK
Copservslor For Woman Is Who
 Charged Wlih vssrancy.

It is not often that woman with almost s4,000 in the bank will be charged with yagrancy and sent to the Brookside home for thirty days. But such a thing happened in this city yesterday when Mrs Mary Ryan was taken to Brookside. Hearing that she had money in some one or the local banks Superintendent Mor- ris of the charity department began an investigation and to-day found that Mrs Ryan has $3,S53,55 in the Citizens bank. Moreover when she was searched by the matron at Brookside SAT In bills was found in her stocking,
 Mrs Ryan's relatives are now be- ginning to take interest in the wom- ans affairs. To-day an application was made by Eugene Connerty of Derby to have conseryator placed over the woman. This step would in all probability have been taken by the city had not MT Connerty made the application.
 In addition to the money already located by the efforts of Mir Morris 1t is thought the woman has more money somewhere. One of the wom- en who claim to know her well said to-day that she must have a few thousand more in some bank. The woman has been doing housework in this city for. some time and of late any place she happened to stop was home to her.
