Samuel ]. Miskimon, for seven years

died at the home of his father in New
York Monday night He had been i'll for
a year from hardening of the liver and
had gone to New York for treatment. He
was well known in Washington, having
many friends here. He came into particu-
lar local prominence at the time of the
great Baltimore fire, when it was largely
through his energy that it was possible
to print the Sun in this city on the
presses of The Evening Star and distrib-
ute it to its subscribers on the morning
after the fire.
On that occasion Mr. Miskimon and the
force under him rescued the books and
labels of the Sun before the fire reached
the office of that paper. He loaded all
his rescued material on the train and
came to Washington. where temporary
offices were secured. The paper was run
off on The Stars presses and sent over to
Baltimore and distributed usual.
Before entering the Sun Office Mr. Mis-.
kimon was the circulation manager of the
Baltimore Herald. He leaves widow
and three children beside brother, sister
and father. The body will be taken tc
Baltimore for burial

STANDS WITH CLUTCHES.
orville Wright Takes a Few Steps
Airship Plans.

Orville Wright was allowed to stand
with crutches at the Fort Myer Hospital
yesterday afternoon for the first time.
He is progressing nicely and expects to
be able to depart for Dayton, Ohio, Sat
urday His experiment with the crutches
consisted of only a few steps, with hos
pital attendants supporting him. The
surgeons are having a shoe made with a
sole about an inch thick. to be worn on
the we'll side to prevent any possibility
of the injured leg touching the ground.
They say that to guard the weak limb
from injury now is the only thing neces-
sary to insure complete recovery.
Experiments are being made with new
propellers for the Baldwin airship. The
motor is being run attached to a spring
balance to determine the thrust of three
propellers that are in readiness for use.
A new propeller has been sent from tn ,
Curtiss shops at Hammondsport, n. Y.
and it will be tried either today or to-
morrow. 1t is hoped that additional
speed may be made with the ship after
the new propellers are tested.
