AER0NAUT BROWNS.
Falls Into River While EnvelOped in
the Stars and Stripes.

New York, June 1.-.Entangled in
the folds of a large American flag,
which he had waved as he made a
parachute drop of 1000 feet, from a
balloon at Hillside park, near Passaic,
n. J., Frederick L. Wood, an 1S-year-
old aeronaut of New Haven, fell help
less in the Passaic river and was
drowned.
presence Of 1000 persons. AS the
American flag which he waved to the
people below.
Near Nutley, the balloon had risen
to a height estimated at 1000 feet
and Wood decided to descend. Cut
ting loose the rope that held the para
chute to the balloon and clutching
the rope of his horizontal bar, Wood
plunged downward. Slowly the
parachute opened and then with mod
crate speed continued the descent.
Nearing the earth Wood saw he
would fall in the Passaic river and
waving his flag as a last salute, he
prepared for a plunge into the water.
1t was at this moment while the
parachute was only a hundred feet
above the river, that a puff of air
caught the floating flag and wrapped
it around Woods legs. The aeronaut
struggled to free himself from its
enveloping folds but failed, and with
his limbs still bound by the flag Wood
plunged into the river. He arose to
the surface and cried for help but
before the spectators could come to
his aid Wood sank and was drowned.

MURDERER is CAUGHT.
Man Who Killed a Woman in Church
Is Captured.

Fond Du Lac, Wis, June 1.-Grant
Poole, who shot and killed Mrs. E. H.
Orvis at the Methodist church at Oak
field yesterday as the congregation
was dispensing, was captured late last
night by farmer named Morgan near
the village of Ladoga, eight miles from
Oakf1eld. The prisoner was brought
to this city and placed in Jail early
today.
Poole has been madIy in love with
Grace Orvis, the daughter of the dead
woman and his attentions toward her
family, or the young woman.
Five years ago Poole tried to COM
nit suicide by shooting himself, but
was prevented. He was arrested and
sent to the state hospital at Oshkosh.
After three years at that institution
he was paroled.
Miss Orvis was employed in the
Bank of Oakfield and Poole hung
around the bank a great deal, seeking
to renw his attentions to the young
woman.
His victim was so years old and
daughter of Abel Bristol, the banker.
Grace, the daughter, is 81. Mrs. Orvis
was the social leader of the village.
The Shooting.
Oakfield, Wis, June 1.-While at
tending services at the Methodist
church Grant Poole, aged 35 years,
shot and killed Mrs. E. H. Orvis, a
leading resident of the village Rev
Sabine Halsy had completed the SER
vices and had gone to the vestibule
door to shake hands with the mem bers
as they left the church. Poole occu-
pied pew in the church directly in
front of Mrs. Orvis, and followed her
to the door. Mrs Orvis was about to
shake hands with Mr.. Halsy when
Poole pulled a revolver firing three
shots in rapid succession, one bullet
entering the heart causing instant
death. Mrs. Orvis fell into the arms
of her husband.
Mr.. Halsy asked the congregation
to remain and offer player for the dy-
ing woman. The congregation was,
however, panic striker and fled in
haste. The pastor remained and pray
ed over the body.

DON'T QUIT TO WE'D.
Women Teachers Resign to Enter
More Profitable Callings.

New York, June 1.-The popular
idea that women teachers leave the
public schools to get married and for
no other reason is not borne out by a
study of the statistics of the board of
education. A partial list compiled of
the teachers who have resigned to en-
ter upon lucrative business occupations
shows that the young women who are
bright enough to teach are bright
enough for vastly more profitable
work.
The first years salary of a school
teacher is $500 or $1.66 day with an
annual increase of about ten cents a
day until after II years the maximum
salary of $1,240-less than SZ2 a week
is reached
The salaries paid to women in the
other city departments are greatly in
excess of these, and telephone opera
tors receive more than many school
teachers, though it does not require
fourteen years of preparation to mas
ter the mysteries of the switchboard
Scores of former teachers are now
filling much more lucrative positions in
other lines of endeavor.
