UP AMONG THE CLOUDS.
Some OF the Novel Experiences En-
countered by BalIoonists.

Balloonlng, delightful as 1t Is in
some of its aspects, is not all beer
and sktties. Capt Charles De F.
Chandler, winner of the Lahm Cup
and one of the contestants in the re-
cent international race, says that he
and his companions, in the course
of their long flight. were fred at
thirty times by farmers. The ball
looms frightened their chick ems.
Some of the shots struck the Oal-
loon but did no damage because Of
the long range Poultry even at
night seemed to have sense of the
passage of the oalloon, making an
outcry CT alarm which could be heard
by the aeronauts. The moonlight
which prevailed during the race
prod iced beautiful effects by its
shining on masses of clouds below
the voyagers. All scientific records
for low temperature were broken
during the ssfsgsts sfr9m st. Louis.

A Peculiar Name.


There Is post haniet In Cass
County, Missouri, with nothing pc
culiar about II except IT'S name, and
that is Peculiar. Its origin, accord
ing to local traditions was as fol-
lows:
When the settlement had become
sufficiently populous to need post
office. one of the prominent citizens
sent petition to Washington to have
one established. In due course the
petition was granted and ne was ask
ed to suggest name that would
please the people. He replied, rThe
people are not particular SO longs as
the name is peculiar"
Thereupon the pestofflce was
christened Peculiar. and the name
has never been changed.

SKIES FRIGHTENING
In Financial World and Prospects For
Abundant Resources For Further
Flotation Are Good.

New York, May 11-Specuative sen
timent today was still under the do
minion of frightened outlook for cor
poration financing. which has been the
ent rise in stocks. The piling up of
bank reserves and the declining rates
for money promise abuntint resources
for further fiotation of new capital is
sues and executive officers of rail-
roads feel correspondingiy relieved OF
anxieties which enveloped them dur,
| ing the paralysis of railroad credit.
The stimulating effect OF PennsyE
vania's bond issue is expected to be
seen in further additions to the list
during May sufficient to bring the fig-
ure fully abreast Of last years figure
and the opinion is advanced, in view
of this showing, that the total ne cap
ital authorized during 1908 will not
fall short of the s2,l02 $4,000 author
lied in 1907
A perusal of the Saturday bank
statement was impressive in its dis,
closure of the measure of resources
available for new borrowing. The ST..
257, 934,90 deposits held by clearing
house banks Saturday form absolute
record and $G3,SS3, AS surplus above
legal requirement of cash reserve has
never been exceeded except in the
after-panic period 1894, when forces
of same nature were at work to cause
accumulation as are in operation now.
Confidence in the money outlook
founded on this showing, was little al
tered by the prospect of a resumption
of gold exports and large Withdrawals
of sub-treasury on account of return
of government deposits by banks.
Outside of the money outlook there
was nothing in the days developments
to prompt hopes of enhancing values
The stock market showed new stocks
being pushed upwards which have not
been prominent in the rise before
There was heavy realizing at the same
time in the recent leaders of the al
vance. Constant irregularity of tone
was the consequence.

THE OLYMPIC GAMES.
THE III ARATHoN RACE

On Friday the great event of the Olympic
Games was decided. The competitors, So in
number, started from the East Terrace of
Windsor Castle at 2.33 p. m, at q signal
given by the Princess Of Wales. Some Of
the British runners led during the first few
miles, but ere long had to give place to
othors, and fer some time before the finish
on italian representative, DorQndo, was in
front, closely pressed by Hefferon. a South
African, aid by a United States competitor
named J. J. Hayes. The race was over 26
miles of road ftOm Windsor to the Stadium,
and the road through al these miies-with
one or two unimportant exceptions in the
real county where for q few hundred
yards there was only & sprinkling of specta-
tors Was lined with people. Ia some cases
there was q single row perhaps, in others
three or four rows in the towns which one
passed through, Windsor, Slough, Uxbridge,
part Of the course, when one got on to tram
lines and between rows of houses, the spec
tators were packed as tightly as possible,
and then only leaving q part of the road
open, but enough to ensure no discomfort to
the competitors. And every one excited to
see the runners go by.

THE TURKISH PARLIA MENT OF
1861.

On his acces sion in August, 1876, Abdul
Hamid found himself confronted with a
situation of the utmost gravity, owing TO the
state of his European provinces ana the
interest taken in them by Europe, not 10
speak of the war with Servia and Monte
ne gro. In the beginning of December, 1876,
a European conference was held IN his cap
ital to put matters straight. 1t was an
utter failure, and is chiefly remarkable for
the attempt which the Sultan made to I'M
press the delegates by appointing the re-
former Midhat Pasha Grand Vizier and
proclaiming q Constitution. By this pro
clamation Parliamentary institutions were
set up and every sort of liberty conferred on
his people. Two months, however, had not
elapsed before Abdul Hamid showed the in
sincerity of his promises by arrestin8 and
banishing Midhat Pasha, the author Of the
Constitution. In the meantime the cOncen-
tration Of Russian troops on the Pruth as
sumed formidable proportions the Protocol
of London urging Turkey to disarm was re-
ceived by tho Porte the European Con-
ference in Con8tantinople, having proved o
signal failure, broke up, and with it the con-
cert of Europe. The elections for the
Turkish Parliament, nevertheless, took place
throughout the Empire. I'll old edifce in
Stambul called Dar-el-FuDun was renovated
to serve as q Parliament House, where, ON
the conclusion Of a shortJived peace with
Servia, the elected Deputies assembled.
On March 10, 1877, the Sultan convoked
them to the Palace Of Dolmd Baghtcle an
a Idres ed them in a speech from the Throne,
IN which, after declaring the Parliament
open, he reviewed the situation and made
p~rofu8o promises OF liberal reforms and of
military ind naval reorganization. On the
following day the Senators and Deputies
took the oath and Their seats in the Darrell
Funun and began to prepare an Address in
reply to the Speech from the Throne.
On April % Russia declared war, where
upon the Sultan telegraphed to his generals
in command of the Danube and in Anatoiia
a high-soundin9 proclamation, and on May
"a martial law was proclaimed. A month
later the Parliament was abruptly closed,
and although it reassembled once more at
the end Of the year, its independent attitude
again alarmed the Sultan, and he took adj
vantage Of the arrival Of the British Fleet
for the protection Of his capital against %
Russian advauca in order to rid himself
once for MI Of a popular institution for
which he no longer had any use. The
Parliament was dissolved on February Il,
1878. Even then Abdul Hunid did not
venture formally to ablo9ate the constltu-
ton. 1t was declared 10 be "suspendad'ond
suspended it has remained tor 80 years.
