Uncle Same Airship.

At last the United States govern
ment has been able to secure an air.
ship that promises to be of actual
service. One Of the three machines
built recently for the war department
has demonstrated that It meets the re-
ouirements Of its designers contract
with Uncle Sam. With two men and
$50 pounds Of ballast Captain Thomas
s. Baldwin's dirigible balloon has
proved that it Ear travel at q speed
Of twenty miles an hour for at least
five miles. "A slightly lower speed
ran be maintained for two hours or
more, and obedience to the helm has.
been shown to be possible. This air.
ship has kept itself right side up dur
ing all the official trials, and that is a
big thing for an airship to accom-
plish. Both Captain Baldwin and Un-
Gle Sam are to be congratulated on
IT'S satisfactory performance.
OF course the showing made by the
Baldwin airship is not quite as bril-
liant as nlat afforded by the Won Yep
pelin aerial fier, which has outstrip-
ped anything ever recorded in the air
navigation line. Nevertheless it shows
progress, and American progress at
that, which is one Of the most graft
flying features of the whole business.
This dirigible balloon. may never be
employed for the purpose for which it
was intended-heaven grant that it
may not!-but it will serve an end
quite as important. It will be used
for educational purposes. The chief
signal officer will train soldiers in the
use Of it, so that when the time Of
need arrives his aeronautic staff will
know how to handle it properly. In
the meantime it is likely that other
and larger airships will be built for
the government, although it is the
present opinion Of experts that an air.
| ship of moderate size will be of more
practical service than a larger one.
The trial and acceptance Of the Bald
win airship do not mean that the bust
ness of testing these aerial vehicles is
over. There are still other airships to
be given an exhaustive trial at Fort
Myer, and their movements will be
followed with great interest by the
public. The Wright brothers of Ohio
will be the next to show what they
have accomplished in the art Of soar
ing through the ether. Mr.. Herring
was assigned the date now given to
the Dayton aeronauts, but he has
asked for an. extension in order to per-
feet some point in his invention, and
the Wrights have been advanced to
his date. Within the next six or eight
weeks there are likely to occur some
remarkable feats in air navigation. 1t
will be exceedingly gratifying If some
one Of the contestants should succeed
in complying with the war depart
ment's demands-develop a speed Of
forty miles m hour, provide storage
for fuel for a flight Of 125 miles and
be able to ascend and descend at the
will Of the operator.

JEROME E%xoNERATED.
Referee Declares Charges Against
Him Unfounded.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 26.-W. T. Je-
rome, district attorney of New York
county, is e~xonerated.
Richard L. Hand of Elizabethtown,
who was appointed by Governor
Hughes to take testimony and report
his findings upon the charges filed
against Jerome by a minority stock
holders committee of the Metropoli-
tan Street Railway company, in a re-
port submitted to the governor, finds
that not one of the series of charges
is proved. All are d%isproved upon the
evidence. He recommends the dis
missal of the charges.
A request was made for Mr.. Je-
rome's removal.
Governor Hughes has not acted on

BIG BROKERAGE
FIRM SUSPEkDS
Failure Of A. 0. Brown { Co.
Of New York Announced.
LIABILITIES ARE HEAVY

Concern at One Time Transacted the
Largest Business in the Country
and Had Branches in Many Cities
Effect of the Suspension on the
Stock Market Not as Violent as
Had Been Expected.
New York, Aug. ga. o. Brown
& Co., n of the largest brokerage
houses In this city, announced thei
suspension on the stock exchange.
The transactions of the firm in the
remarkable stock market of last Sat
urday have been under investigation
by the authorities of the stock ex-
change and it was announced that
transactions had been made for the
firms account under the rule which
provides that where a firm is unable
to deliver stock sold to another broker
the purchaser may buy in the stock at
the pen of the firm failing to
make delivery.
At the height of the boom markets
of several years ago A. o. Brown &
Co. did an enormous business, said to
have been larger than any other bro
kerage house at n time. There were
five branch offices in this city n
many others throughout the country,
but after the panic of last fall many OF
the out of town branches we're closed.
At the present time, however, the
firm had offices in Buffalo, Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit, Erie, Utica, To
ronto and Paterson, N. ]. Tha firm
was organized in 1902. Its members
are A. o. Brown, G. Lee Stout, b. F.
Buchanan, Samuel c. Brown and W.
Rhea Whitman. A representative OF
the firm of A. O. Brown & Co. gave
out this statement:
Affairs Badly Tangled.
"The affairs Of the firm are badly
tangled and it was felt necessary to
suspend in order to s%traighten them
out"
d. w. Noel has been named as as
signee for A. O. Brown & Co. No
statement of assets and liabilities is
available as yet, but it is presumed
that the figures will be very large, as
the firm is generally supposed to have
had a heavy interest in the market.
The effect of the suspension upon
the stock market was not so violent
as anticipated by those who knew
how large an amount of stocks A. o.
Brown & Co. owed to other firms.
cc'he volume of trading increased rap
idly, but prices vacillated and there
was no general movement in either
direction. Houses to whom the sus-
pended firm had failed to deliver
stocks sold were left short of stocks
tc fill their own contracts and the
buying in of such stocks to satisfy
their contracts ordinarily would u
an advance in prices. In this case
there was apparently considerable
selling Of stocks because of the un-
usual occurrences of the past few
days and the uncertainty as to what
might be involved in the suspension.

Race Riots Cause Of Death.

Chicago, Aug. &c. w. Williams,
colored, who murdered Mrs. L. B.
Briggs recently by beating her over
the head with a chair, died of starva-
ton and exhaustion in the county jail.
Williams mind, already impaired.
gave way under the excitement of re-
ports of the race var at Springfield
and the murder of Mrs. Briggs fol-
lowed. At the Jail he raved contin-
uously, refusing food and fighting his
guards. His death ensued.

Now that the Netherlands has been
given permission to go ahead and
spank Castro it is not at oil unlikely
that the autocrat will recede from his
high and lofty position with as much
grace as he may be able to assume.
Castro is no ignoramus, and he cannot
but realize that the Dutch hand is pc
culiarly adapted to the operation Of
spanking.

Vice Consul Ernest vollmer reports
that one Of the constantly growing i'm
ports into the Chinese province of
Shangtung through the port of Tsing-
tAu ts old horseshoes, which leads him
TO give the following particulars: ~one
steamer alone in November brought
BOO tons Of this scrap iron from Ham
burg. The market for these wornout
shoes seems to be almost without lim-
It Chinese iron dealers buy the horse
shoes and sell them to knife and tool
manufacturers all over the province.
It is claimed by the Chinese that the
temper Of this class Of iron makes II
the best obtainable for knives and
