HOLLAND WILL SAY
IN HER REPLY TO PRESIDENT
CASTRo's LAST NOTE.
Did Not Do Anything That Should
Not Have Been Done, and
Venezuela Did,

LONDON, August 31.-The reply Of the
Netherlands government to President
Castro's last note will, 1t Is understood.
be in substance that the Dutch cruiser
Gelderland did not salute the Venezuelan
flag upon entering La Guaira because
under international naval practice a war
vessel does not salute dag in a foreign
port il she had entered that port and sa-
luted within a year. The Gelderland had
done this.
Besides, it is declared, 1t was not known
whether the forts would reply should the
Gelderland salute them. and all chance
of further embarrassment was saved by
the cruiser keeping within the interna-
tional precedent of saluting once within
a year.
AS for the alleged insults to the vene-
zuelan consul at Willemstad. Island OF
Curacao, the gentleman SO entitled. 1t Is
stated. was never accepted by the Neither
lands government as consul, hence ne
could not officially be styled consul and
was in Curacao simply as citizen OF
Venezuela.
The. Dutch colonists at Curacao ex-
pressed great indignation. when. follow
ing the arrest of a man distributing
leaflets denouncing the Holland govern
ment, the man said he was hired by the
so-called Venezuelan consul.
Shouldn't Have Expelled Reus.
In conclusion 1t is said the treatment
of NJ. de Reus, the Dutch minister at
Caracas, who was expelled by President
Castro, was irregular according to inter-
national etiquette. as President Castro in
stead of sending NJ. de Reus his passports
and expelling him from the country
should have informed the Netherlands
government that her minister was no
longer nersona Rrata and should have re-
uuested his recall. The method President
Castro preferred to follow was offensive
and in violation Of diplomatic procedure.

MONUMENT MAY Be CIRCLEO
BALLOON TO TRY LIGHT FLIGHT
HERE TODAY.
Wright's Aeroplane Unable to Make
Trip Until Thursday-Boys
Fly Box Kites.

There will be final flight of the Bald
win dirigible balloon at Fort Myer this
afternoon.
Afterward the gas bag will be debated
and packed for shipment to st. Joseph,
Mo-, where it will be the star attraction
at the military carnival The big tent
that has housed the dirigible will be
taken down and sent with the balloon
This will leave the Wright aeroplane
without a shelter. But preparations were
made today for putting up a frame shed
for the aeroplane. Lumber was received
on the ground this morning and construc-
tion commenced at once.
This house will require about three days
to finish So there will be no chance
for a flight of the aeropiane till Thurs
day or Friday.
1t is to be hoped. if there is a flight Of
the dirigible this afternoon, that condi-
tons will permit of trip TO the WASH
ington Monument.
The motor has been acting well. If there
is not too strong a wind there seems no
particular reason why the flight should
lot be made.
Lieut.. Selfridge probably would run the
engine and Lieut.. Lahm would handle the
rudder in this event. Capt. Baldwin. who
has been in New York, returned to Wash
ington yesterday and went out to Fort
Myer this morning. He will be present
at the trial this afternoon and will super
intend packing and shipment of the bal
loon TO ST. Joseph.
Aeroplane Near Completion.
The work on the Wright machine has
been going on slowly. but satisfactorily.
The prospect now is that the plane will be
ready for flight before the house on
the drill ground is ready for it.
This shelter could have been erected
long ago. 1t is stated at the signal serv-
Ice that the authorities offered to erect
a house for the aeroplane before it came
TO Washington and that the offer was de-
cIined.
The only news Of Wilbur Wright re-
ceived in Washington has been OF a mega
tive sort. a cable from him recently said
he was not making any flights just now
on account OF a series of high winds.
The contract under which he is working
specifies that the aeroplane need not be
operated in a wind of more than a given
velocity. He has already flown in a
breeze as stin as the contract calls for
and is not taking any unnecessary
chances.
An interesting little sidelight on how
the aerial navigation bug has bitten the
population Of Washington is the fact that
the children are now going in for box
kites discarding the old-fashioned fat
variety.

This is not scientific form of con-
struction as some of the kites the weather
bureau Is using. but 1t answers the
purpose and flies we'll.

have hitched several of the bags to-

thereby built up quite imposing cellular
structures that fly steadily in either a

Still Lots Of Noise.

A lawyer who recently complained of
the noise of cars crossing the track inter-
sections at 9th and G streets does not like
the way the railway company remedied
conditions at the Objectionable crossing and
says so plainly in q letter to the District
railway commission. He says he first
complained August Is and promptly after
that a gang Of workmen began to make
changes at the crossing. New fishplates
and new bolts were put in, he says. but
these alterations made little Improvement.
There should be a radical improvement
and it is earnestly and respectfully re-
quested that this makeshft be not &C.
cepted as satisfactory treatment of the
subject he wrote to the commission to-
day.

over a de luxe edition Of The Story
OF the Hat" by the veteran Edward NJ.
Knox, the successor, and in some re-
spects the superior, of Genin as the ar
bitter of American styles, ] find from
the carefully authenticated illustrations
that our derby hat was popular in the
Twelfth century, our slOuched hat in
the Thirteenth century, and that the
up-to-date Merry Widow hat, then
called the PetasOs,' was worn during
the reign Of Alexander the Great. 1t
is only fair TO the fair sex TO admit
that men have always exceeded them

A Woman's Theater.

Miss Lillian r. Matthews, in charge
of the work of the Associated Chart
ties, has a plan for combating the al
legged evil influences of the very cheap
theaters. 1t is her idea that a theater
for representing plays of an
ennobling character and charging only
a moderate price for admission would
prove q strong counter attraction to
the cheap burlesques and melodramas
which she considers so harmful. No
doubt a theater of this sort would be
interesting, but 1t is doubtful If it
would prove so Irresistible as she
thinks. The preachy play is apt to be
dull, and the evil effects Of the melo-
drama are not obvious. In such plays
justice is dealt out with no uncertain
hand, vice or wrongdoing never tri-
umphs and in the last act the villain
and adventures always get their de-
serts, something which cannot be said
of the highly finished dramatic crea-
tons that are billed at some high
priced and FASH heaters. A the
alter such as ews proposes
might have it's uses, seems that
the most important requirement for its
success would be that the audiences
must first be educated up to 1t.

James A. Garfield.
BY ). n. ".
From the fOw-
path to the pres
ideney is a long
ascent.

UNO the poor boy looking for an In
spring example the career of
James A. Garfield furnishes an
ideal and an incentive. From
the towpath to the presidency is a long
ascent. He had no outward helps
in making that climb, but rose only
through the strength Of his own char
acter. Not only did he rise himself, but
he formulated a gospel of success and
gave 1t to the world. He was not with
out the qualities that appeal to the in
qualities that appeal to the heart. Gen
erous and warn hearted, yet cool and
unimpassioned, strong without harsh
ness, self reliant without boorishness,
righteous without phariseeism, reli.
gious without priggishness, witty with
out wounding others, possessing good
fellowship without letting himself down
to things ignoble or unworthy, Garfield
was great In his goodness. While pos
sessing much will power, he was not
rigid and by some was considered
weak. He did not overawe others and
force his way by sheer ability, but
rather drew men to him and won his
points by persuasive arts. His nature,
while rugged, was not rough, but was
mellowed by a great kindness. In his
presence men felt him to be greater
than the things he did or said. There
was In his very atmosphere that indie
Enable something which inspires con-
idence and esteem. Without being daz-
zling or supereminent in any line he
did all things well. An inspiring teach
er and minister, a brave and
full soldier, a winning and eloquent
speaker, a broad minded and efficient
legislator, he was far above mediocrity
In every field. Had he remained a SOL
der to the end of the war he might
have been one of our greatest generals;
had his life been spared he might have
been one of u most illustrious presi-
dents. Concerning these things we can
only speculate. But 1t was his great
ness as a man that was felt by the
world rather than his especial accom-
plishments in any field of endeavor.
Here is one saying of Garfield's that
Is typical of the man:
Poverty is uncomfortable, as 1 can
testify, but nine times out of ten the
best thing that can happen to a young
man is to be tossed overheard and
compelled to sink or swim for himself.
