CHICAGO WINNER
OF BALLOON RACE
Huge Bag Lands at Point SO
Miles From st. Paul.
Lifting Gas Power Was Inferior, and
Therefore Long Flights Were
Impossible.
OTHER BALLOONS DISTANCES

ST. Paul. Minn, July 20.-All OF
the FIVE balloons which started from
st. Paul. In an effort to break
the worlds distance and endurance
record, have landed, the Chicago
owned by @. A. Coey, of Chicago, win
ming the contest by travelling a dis
tance of 73 miles on an air line.
The Pommern, which was the last
to report, landed at 1890 near War
saw. Mimi. about 90 miles from St.
Paul. The Chicago. the largest bal
loon in the race, came down at noon
near Blooming Prairie, MINI, about
S5 miles south of ST. Paul.
A. Leo stephens. director OF the
race, in explaining the failure of the
aeronauts to sail greater distances
than they accomplished. said that the
uplifting power OF the gas was not
as great as they had counted on and
that consequently the balloons were
unable to carry near the amount of
ballast necessary for long flight.
The table OF air line distances
travelled by the balloons that have
landed, is compiled as follows: King
Edward. "a miles; United States, 55
miles; America, 5S miles; Chicago. 7S
miles: Pommern, 50 miles.
None OF the aeronauts are reported
to have encountered any accidents.
as was the case in the last race.
which started from Chicago recently.
The balloons are said to be in good
condition and none the worse for
their flights.
The Chicago. winner of the contest.
is the biggest balloon now in this
country and the huge bag is OF the
finest quality of silk. The capacity OF
this balloon is 10. 900 cubic feet, and
had the gas used been OF the quality
expected there is no telling how far
the monster airship might have
sailed.
II was generally expected that the
Pommern, winner of the international
cup race. which started in st. Loui,
last spring. would make a bettei
showing than she did, but as the fig
ures show, these expectations wer,
, not realized. although the German
contestant was the last to be reporte,

PITTSBURG FLOOD RECEDES
DAMAGE CAUSED MAY AMOUNT
TO SEVERAL MILLIONS.
Thousands of Persons Whose Houses
Are Inundated Suffer Severely
Drowning in Ohio.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 17.-After reach.
ing thirty and seven-tenths feet at
noon Sunday and remaining at that
stage for three hours, the high water
in the rivers is now slowly receding
The danger mark in this city is %
feet
The damage and suffering caused
by the annual flood is widespread
A remarkable feature, however, is the
absence of fatalities. AS far as is
known there has been no sacrifice of
human life and this is attributed to
the early warnings of the local United
States weather bureau.
Live stock has persisted in consider
able numbers and there are many re-
ports of persons having narrowly es-
capped death in endeavors to save
their property and live stock.
The actual monetary damage can
not be ascertained at this time, but
several million dollars.
The suffering caused by the high
water is intense. Thousands of per-
sons are living in the upper floors of
their homes, using skiffs as means
of transportation. The lower portions
of their homes are filled with water.
In many instances the household
goods were not removed, owing to a
lack of time.
To add to the suffering of the vic
tins, the weather grew cold Sunday
and snow fell. The gas connections
of the houses have been disarranged
and in their present damp condition
life is made miserable for the unfor-
tunate occupants.

Our Merchant Marine.

The total merchant tonnage
launched in the United States in the
calendar year 1907, O2,5OS gross tons,
has been exceeded in a twelvemonth
but twice in our maritime history, de-
clares the Boston Transcript In the
fiscal years 1854 and 1855 the aggre-
gates were respectively 536,046 and
$3.50, the latter figures remaining
still the record The difference be-
tween now and then is that very little
of our new tonnage is for foreign
trade, whereas so years ago American
ships were found on every sea, and
the Stars and Stripes was familiar in
old world ports where it is now a
stranger. Last year but two steamers
of any considerable dimensions were
launched from American yards for for
eign trade, and these were for Cuban
service which has the benefits of the
postal subsidy. Without some such
measure of federal assistance there is
no inducement for Americans to build
steamers to "go foreign

The argument advanced against 'tfe-

of higher womanly, feminine and lady

answerable from one standpoint. 1t is
undeniable that horses, cows and pigs

classed with cook ladies'" Accord
ingly, the public waiting rooms for
ladies were changed to waiting rooms
for women. In Godfrey, however, ed

ladies and feminine, provided they
avoid being females as far as possible.
This shows that, though it has cut
loose from zoology, the ethical view

the heights.

cHILEANs SEE THE sATTLEsHIPs
Fleet Reviewed by President Mont
in Valparaiso Bay.

Valparaiso, Chile, Feb. 15.-The
great American fleet of 16 battleships,
under the command of Rear Admiral
Evans, passed Valparaiso Friday after
noon and continued on it's voyage
northward for Callao, Peru, the next
stopping place.
All Valparaiso and thousands of per-
sons from other cities in Chile wit
messed the passing of the fleet. Presi-
dent Mont and the other high officials
of the republic went out from shore
to greet the battleships, and almost
the entire Chilean navy exchanged
salutes with them as they swung
around Curaumilla Point and into
Valparaiso bay in single file, headed
by the Chilean cruiser Chacabuco and
five Chilean torpedo boat destroyers.
The day was perfect and the spectacle
of the feet stretched in great semi
circle as seen from the high hills
around the bay was magnificent.

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says It Weakens the Heart.

TN my opinion" says a well known
German physician, mo one can truth
fully say that coffee agrees with him,
as it has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in
furious, poisonous substance which
weakens and degenerates the heart
muscles.
"For this reason the regular use of
coffee, soon or late, causes condition
of undernourishment, which leads to
various kinds of organic disease.
Convinced of this fact, have often
sought for some healthful beverage to
use instead of coffee. At last found
the thing desired in Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee, whose hearts were affected,
have recommended Postum as bev-
erage, since it is free from all injuri-
Gus or exciting substances. know
this from results in my own family,
and among patients.
Hundreds of persons who now use
Postum in place of coffee. are greatly
benefited thereby" There's Reason.

.PERISHES FIGHTING FLAMES
BIG HEARTED CHARLEY KRUGER
OF NEW YORK DROWNED.
Brave and Beloved Deputy Chief
Meets Death in Smoke and
Water-FiIIed Basement.

New York, Feb. 15.-"Big hearted
Charley" best beloved of New York's
fire fighters, met Friday the death he
had defied for SO years.
From the day, in 1872, when a lad of
20 years, he entered the department,
Deputy Fire Chief Charles w.
Kruger had never known physical fear.
charmed life. Something of this feel
ing may have possessed the deputy for
when the uniform was removed from
the lifeless body Friday a newspaper
clipping told of a seemingly miracu-
lous escape from death in early boy
hood and the story bore the headline:
'"This boy wasn't born to be killed"
Not since the death of Chief Bres-
nahan has the department felt blow
as keenly as it did this last stroke
of the ill-fortune which has been with
it ever since the Parker building fire,
in which three men lost their lives,
and the recent Worth street fire, in
which two were killed.
1t was a common remarks that
Kruger never sent" but always lied"
and when his CHEEKY call, Come on
boys" rang out for the last time a
dozen men were at his heels. The
situation was desperate The build
ings at 215-217 Canal street were in
flames, and the whole block was
threatened. Chief Croker had refused
to order his men into the buildings,
but had consented to Kruger's ven
ture. "Chief, there's no hope of get
ting into the basement of 217," the
grizzled deputy had said. "Our only
chance is to go down into the cellar of
215 and cut hole through the separ-
ating walls. Come on, boys"
Into the cellar filled with water,
smoke and fumes from melted gas
pipes the men threw themselves.
Cropping in advance, Kruger stumbled
through a trap-door and presently was
floundering in six feet of water. I'm
able to see, the other men heard a
splash and then cry: Save me,
Andy" ANDY" had driven his chief
to his first fire and Swallowed him into
every succeeding danger.
Ten minutes later the unconscious
form of big Hearted Charley" was
stretched on the pavement and Chief
Croker, on his knees beside it, begged
the department surgeons, For Gods
sake, do something" Resort was had
to every expedient, but before his
last fire had burned itself out the SCOT
grimed fighter was dead.
