FRENCH PRESS IS
seeming TROUBLE
Sees Menace in Visit OF -.!,-
peror William.

Paris, Sept. IA renewal of the
tension between France and Germany
and possibly an acute international
complication is feared. French Off
cial circles, however remain calm,
and it is announced that France in
tends to pursue her policy as already
outlined.
The French press is displaying day
by day more irritation which has
been increased by the expulsion yes
terday of Pierre Adigard, member
of the French Chamber of Deputies,
from the German maneuver grounds
in Alsace-Lorraine. Furthermore, the
report received today that Emperor
William intends to cross the French
frontier from Alsace-Lorraine to view
the landscape from the top of a noun
tain in France furnishes fresh occa
sion for the more sensational journals
to cry "provocation.
La Patrie says: The presence OF
Emperor William on French soil at
the same time that a French deputy
is driven from the annexed territory
looks like defiance and bravado."

OrvilIe Wright Continues to
Smash Records in Aero
plane Flights.
PERFORMANCE YESTERDAY.
MADE IN FACE OF WIND THAT
CAUSED MACHINE TO PITCH
DER CONTROL.


Washington, Sept. Ii OrviIle
Wright yesterday broke the worlds
record for time and distance for a
heavier-than-air flying machine which
he established yesterday. In a flight
requiring great skill on account of a
ten-mile wind, he circled around the
drill grounds at FIT. Myer fifty-eight
times in 65 minutes and 80 seconds,
exceeding the time of Wednesdays
onds The flight was witnessed by
nearly 1000 persons.
The wind was blowing about three
miles an hour when Mr.. Wright pre-
pared to make his flight.
At sos Mr.. Wright signaled G. E.
Taylor, his mechanic, to release the
machine. The aeroplane rose from the
ground almost Immediately after leav-
ing the single starting rail. 1t contin-
ued to climb higher with each sue
cessive round of the field, until it
reached an altitude of seventy-five
feet For the first thirty rounds the
machine flew as smoothly as on its
previous flights. but from that time
on it was seen to pitch at the turns,
as the breeze from the west struck
it.
Whenever the machine pitched 1t
could be plainly seen from below that
it responded promptly to every move
of the levers by the operator.

Mr.. Glover would seem to have reckon

minute accuracy of the following de-
scription:
"a most prodigious Creature, much
resembling man, only somewhat lar
ger, standing right up in the water
with his head, neck, shoulders, breast
and vast, to the cubits Of his arms,
above water; his skin was tawny, much
like that of an Indian; the figure Of
his head was pyramidal, and slick,
without hair, his eyes large and black,
and so were his eyebrows; his mouth
very wide, with a broad, black streak
on the upper lip, which turned upward
ut each end like mousta choes; his coun-
tenance was grim and terrible; his
neck, shoulders, arms, breast and vast
were like unto the neck, arms, shout
ders, breast and vast of a man; his
hands, if he had any, were under wa
ter. He seemed to stand with his eyes
fixed on me for some time and after
ward dived down, and little after ris-
eth at somewhat Il farther distance and
turned his head toward me again, and
then Immediately falleth little under
water and swimmeth away so near the
top of the water that l could discern
him throw out his arms and gather
them in as a man doth when he swim
meth. At last he shoots with his head
downward, by which means he cast
tayl above the water. which exactly re-
sembled the tayl of a fish, with broad
fame at the end of it."

A NATURAL DIXIE.
The Volcanic Formation Along the
Course of Fall River.


Nature is full of strange freaks, and
her agents-rains, storms, winds and
even dust-produce results that might
often be mistaken for the works of
human hands, though frequently on
colossal scale.
Volcanic activities are mighty fac
tors, and through them some wonder
full phenomena are wrought. One OF
these may be seen along the course or
Fall river, in northern California. This
stream is of considerable size, and the
work of natures gigantic forces may
be seen between the upper and lower
cascades of the river.
1t is what might properly be called
a volcanic dixie" This dixie extends
for some distance along Fail river,
near its banks and nearly parallel to
the course 1t bears close resemblance
to roughly constructed wall. The
top Of this dixie is very ragged and
the height of varying attitudes. In
some places it is twenty feet high and
several feet in thickness, and again
may be easily clambered over. The rock
of which this wall of nature Is COM
pOSeQ Is OF very porouS CuaioS
bearing some resemblance to pumice
stone, though much more solid and OF
greater specific gravity.
That entire region is Of volcanic orr
gin and evidently was once the scene
of great eruptive activity. Scoria and
lava abound, though the face of the
country is now thickly clad with timber
and bruSb The dixie begins and ends
abruptly.
The wall of the dixie is evidently the
result Of volcanic forces, and has nc
doubt stood for many centuries. II
stands clear from clinging rocks, has
a narrow foundation, with vertical
walls, and is very straight, The mys
terry Is what forces Of nature could
have piled up or left standing this
rock formation so uniform. This dixie
has puzzled not a few biologists who
have visited and examined it.-Ameri

How q Picture Is Composed.

In examining such a picture as Mum
kacsy's Christ Before Plate" or De
taille's 'Saluting the Wounded you
are inclined to think that the painter
saw the scene as a whole-that he ar
ranged his models and straightway pro
ceeded to delineate the scene on virgin
canvas. But, alas for this theory, were
you to take a knife and commence
scraping that same canvas you would
hnd a pathetic record of figures once
alive and now forever blotted out-the
soldiers or the Pharisee who once
stood prominently here now stands OBJ
securely there. This tree or house was
yonder, and yondersfgure's place was
once filed by post or a detail of
landscape.-Strand Magazine.

WESTCOTT SET THE MARK.
SHOWED UP AS BEST AMATEUR
INTEREST IN THE EVENT WAS
MARKED AND LOCAL CLUB WAS
COMPLIMENTED.

After two days of the best shooting
that has been seen in Richmond for
a number of years the registered gun
tournament held under the auspices OF
the Richmond Gun club closed yes
terday afternoon with Charles G.
westcott of Leavesburg, Fla, former
ly of this city winning the high aver
age with BIT out Of 400. The shooting
of Mr.. Westcott was excellent at all
times and the fact that he won the
high average without a tie shows his
remarkable shooting. l.. H. Reid and
r. Heiks tied for the high professional
average with 391 out of 400 which is
exceptionally fine shooting and Is
claimed by many that it is the best
that has ever been seen in Richmond.
j. R. Taylor was second high average
with 388 out of 400. G. l.. Baker made
the second amateur high average with
376 out of 400 end F. Cain made the
third high average 2 out of 400.
The Richmond ID is very
much pleased wi , tournament.
Marksmen who represent some shell
or powder firm and make it their
business to attend the different con-
tests over the country were held to be
professionals. 1t was tho general
opinion of the visiting marksmen that
this was one of the best conducted
registered tournaments they have at
tended The shooting was good at all
times and no one made very low
score.
The purses were awarded on a per-
centage and were Westcott $40, c. l..

"They had no rain here for a fort

to induce the belief that it never rains

 Rev. Jas. Thomas, long accused of be- ing Otto Brock, is vindcated of the charge and settlement made between him and Hester, who made the charges against Thomas. All Methodist people and many others who love harmony in the church will rejoice at the news. While definite charge may not have
 been made against Thomas until recent ly, it has been rumored and has been in the press for several years and the general effect was the same. Thomas, at least should have answered the ques- tions propounded to him by the church, in satisfactory way, even though he did not owe it to the public generally.
