NO MORE EXHIBITION FLIGHTS
WRIGHT BROTHERS TO ATTEND
STRICTLY TO BUSINESS.
All Their Efforts to Be Devoted to
Exploitation Of Machines
Commercially.

NEW YORK, October 5.-Unless some
change of heart shall alter a decision an
nounced today by Wilbur Wright. the
spectacular flight made here over the har
Dor and up the river yesterday by the
daring Dayton aviator is the last which
he or his brother Orvllle propose to make
in public.
thereafter" said Mr.. Wright on his re-
turn from an early morning visit TO Gov
errors Island. whittier he had gone to
superntend the taking apart Of his dam
aged aeroplane, I'VE shall devote all our
efforts to the commercial exploitation of
our machines and only fly as a matter OF
experiment to test the value Of whatever
changes we decide to make in their con-
structiOn."
Not in the Show Business.
Mr.. Wright added that neither he nor
his brother wished to be looked upon as
showmen and that all offers to fly for
exhibition purposes would be rejected by
them.
The flight Of yesterday" said he. was
more than an exhibition. 1t was more
like the taking up Of a challenge or the
making of a record to stand as mile
stone in the history of aerial navigation
l would have done better than l did had
not the blowing out of a cylinder OK my
machine prevented me from making
second flight; but, all things considered.
aw satisfied with my performance OK
the morning
Mr. Wright did not know exactly what
method he and his brother will adopt in
putting their aeroplanes on the American
market, but thought it likely that a stock
company would be formed of which he
and his brother would retain majority
control. He will leave this afternoon for
Washington, where he is to begin at once
the instruction of those officers of the
Signal Corps of the army upon whom will
deyolve the duty of operating the Wright
machine recently purchased by the gov
eminent.

en-year-old boy, was drawn up a 15o-
foot cliff on the bank of the Costumes
river near Plymouth Sunday.
While hunting on the banks of the river
young Miller stepped out on a large rock
on Eagles Nest bluff, which suddenly
gave way and precipitated the boy down
the bank to the waters edge A COM
panion ran to Plymouth. distance of
three miles, for assistance. Believing
that Miller was dead, a coffin was taken
along by the rescue party.
After much difficulty two men were
lowered, with the casket, over the bluff.
The boy was found alive, but uncon-
scious, and terribly injured He was
placed in the coffin and raised to the top
of the bluff.
The rescue work was hazardous and re-

through the adoption of an amenonent "
the House rules proposed by Mr.. F1tz-
gerald of New York. The incidents con-
.nected with that action were these:
After the House had chosen Mr.. Can
non Speaker by strict party vote, al
though twelve republicans had voted Tor
candidates other than MI. cannon, the
question was upon the rules TO De ap-
piled. Mr.. Dalzell offered resolution
That the rules of the previous Congress
should be adopted. and on that he de-
manded the previous question On
roll call the previous question was or
.dered 1914 to 1SS.
The question then required on the
abortion of the rules. The House, by a
vote Of 1913 to 49, refused to adopt the
rules The republican insurgents had
Joined with democrats to vote down the
organization rules. Fitzgerald and his
New York democrats stuck to their party,
as did all the democrats. except Brous-
sard and Estopinal. Immediately there
was the utmost confusion. The republic
cans were dismayed. and the democrats
and insurgents jubilant.
The whole question of the rules was
open. The House would not have the
old rules: anybody could propose sub
stitute. The minority leader, Champ
Clark. was prepared for this emergency.
He offered a resolution to continue the
old rules in effect during the extra SEES
sion, with these modifications-that the
Speaker should appoint only the commit
tee on ways and means, on printing, on
accounts, on mileage and on enrolled
bills. The committee on rules was to
he elected by the House, and the resolu-
ton named those to be chosen. That
committee was to exercise the duties
usual to 1t during the session. and was
also to frame a complete revision OF the
rules. to be reported next December
The committee selected by Mr.. Clark
consisted Of six democrats. four insur-
gent republicans and five regular repub-
licans. The House Organization would
be outvoted 10 to on every proposition
1t looked very simple to the democrats
and the insurgents. But note the make
up of the democrats on the proposed COM
mittee: Champ Clark Underwood of Ala
bama. Ollie James Of Kentucky. Hitch
cock of Nebraska, Hay of Virginia and
BurIeson of Texas All Bryan democrats,
and with New York left out. There were
murmurs at once In the New York and
Georgia delegations.
Clark Voted Down.
Mr.. Clark demanded the previous aues-
ton on his resolution. and the House. by
q vote of 2O3 nays to lie yeas, refused
to order the previous question. 1t was
on this vote that the Tammany and the
southern democrats rallied to Mr.. Fitz-
gerald. The Clark resolution was open
to amendment, and Mr.. Fitzgerald. being
recognized by the Speaker, offered a SUBJ

to be in line with the demand for reform.
1t was this resolution which was
adopted by the HOuse-211 to 172-with
the aid Of the New York and southern
democratic votes. and which continued
the old rules with the Fitzgerald modifi-
cations, and saved the day for the repub-

ELECTED TO YALE FACULTY
PROF. VANCE MAY GO TO NEW
HAVEN.
Not Yet Officially Informed of His
Selection as Professor of
Testamentary Law.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. October Sat a
meeting Of the Yale corporation gift OF
$425. 600 from William d. and Henry T.
Sloan of New York for the erection and
equipment of university physics labora-
tory was announced. Announcement also
was made of the gift of SO GOO from AL
fred G. Vanderbilt toward the general en-
dowment. A subscription Of $4,000 was
received from George Hewitt Myers, a
graduate of the forest school. toward the
endowment OF that department. This sub.
scription will enable the university to full.
fill it's conditions with the general educa-
ton board. from which the university is
receiving assistance.
Prof. William r. Vance, dean Of the law
department of George Washington Uni
versity. was elected professor of tesla.
mentary law In the law school and will
assume his duties next year.
Speaking today of his election to a DO
sition on the faculty of Yale University,
Prof. Vance said he knew that his name
would be brought before the Yale cor
poration at its meeting in October, but he
has not yet been Informed officially of
the action which the press dispatches in
dictate. Prof Vance probably will receive
"a letter from President Had.ey of Yale
later today or tomorrow and he said
ample time will then remain to consider
the matter. The statement that he had
been selected professor of testamentary
law probably is in error. because Prof
Vance, by request. submitted to the sec
rotary of Yale corporation a list of the
subjects which he would be willing to
teach and testamentary law was not one
of the number. and it is assumed that new
members of the faculty of the Yale Law
School are elected messy as professors OF
law, and the assignments of subjects is
not made until shortly before the opening
of the school year. If he does go to New
Haven, Prof Vance will take up his dli-
ties there with the beginning of the term
| of 1901.

TO IMPROVE PUBLIC SQUARE.

The County Court has in view the
Improvement of the street around
the Public Square, establishing q
Uniform grade, putting In substan-
tial foundation and macadamizing
and graveling that half of the street
next to the Court House.
This movement of the County
Court should be promptly met by
the owners Of property on the Pub
lie Square. To do this, majority
of them should at once petition the
City Council for an ordinance order
ing the property holders to improve
In like manner, under the direction
and plans Of the city authorities,
the street In front of their respective
properties.
Pennington has an excellent
system OF concrete sidewalks, but
its streets are anything but credit
to the town. Put the Public Square
In a good condition, and il willprovs
an incentive for the property holders
along other streets to petition the
council for similar improvements.
Under the law, as we understand 1t,
the property holders on any given
street must pay for the work In pro-
| portion to their respective property
frontage, but before the city council
| can order such work done il must
have the consent by petition Of a
majority of the property holders
along the street or that portion Of it
to be improved.
Every street or portion of II street
thus put in good condition will be
/ an incentive for it's extension, and
/ for other streets to follow the eX-
/ ample, just as the construction of
/ few concrete sidewalks started the
movement that has given the town
its present splendid stretch of good,
smooth sidewalks.
Another thing the County Court
| is considering is the placing on the
Public Square two automatic water
ing troughs II the city will furnish
the water for the troughs. This
would be of great benefit to farmers
and others coming to town with
teams and something that Farming
ton ought not to he without. We
have no doubt that the city council
will meet the County ucpft half way
in this important matter.
