RICH PRIZES FOR AERONAuTS
PLANS FOR INTERNATIONAL
EXHIBIT IN FRANKFORT.
Three-Month Exposition to Be the
Most Remarkable Enterprise Of
Its Kind Ever Organized.

Special Cablegl am T." The Star.
BERLIN, July 5.-The International
aeronautic exhibition, which opens at
Frankfort July 10 for three months, will
be the most remarkable enterprise Of the
kind ever organized In any country. A
fund of S250.OUO has been guaranteed and
prizes amounting to $JO.ODO are offered.
At first eleven different sections of the
exhibition were planned, but these not
proving exhaustive Of everything connect
ed with aeropianing, several new sections
large collections of objects having refer
ence to the history Of the conquest of the
air, the literature on the subject, and an
ornithlogical group showing the flight OF
the original teachers, the birds and in
sects, with photographs and other illus
|trations-haye been ADDED.
Every kind of machine for progress
through the air Is, OF course, represented,
including arlships, balloons, aeroplanes
and all the appliances connected win
their construction and propulsion. Not
even the proper dress is forgotten, for in
some of the balloon cars dolls in practical,
and not too airy, costumes show ladies'
what they should wear when sailing In
the sky.
Many German Airships.
OF the airships competing, the German
specimens are naturally the greatest in
number, and include all the systems that
have hitherto proved best, except the
Gross military balloon, which is not COM
ing-for military reasons.
There are, however, two Parseval bal
looms, also purchased by the German gov
ernment; a. motor alrSnip, constructed by
Herr Clouth Of Cologne; another, built by
Herr ErDstoer, who works with the as
~
the Zeppelin, the favorite of all, and,
among many others, one Of a new shape,
like mushroom, built by Herr Rodech
Of Munich-one of the most interchangeable
and clever OF German aerOnauts.
The two great rival firms, Erhard and
Krupp, both send exhibits. Krupp sends
guns that reach balloons and airships in
flight, and also guns that can be carried
In balloons, probably resembling those
shown at Paris in December, which were
mitrailleuses. Erhard sends armor-piated
flying machines.
Balloons Always Cruising.
There will be something of special in
terest to see every day. The balloons
will always be cruising about, thus CIV
ing an idea Of what the world will look
like when flying machines become general
On at least sixty days there will be races
and competitions of different kinds.
There will also be great marine
spectacle, winding up with a battle of the
future--a naval aerial contest between
ships and vessels of the air.
II the visitors desire they can either
take part in long flights in motor-balloons
(and many such trips are planned to
places in sthe neighborhood of Frankfort
and to the Taunus mountains at cost
of 500. or they can indulge in a $l.25
voyage in a captive balloon and take
bird's-eye view of everything going on.

The history of Yonkers begins with the
arrival from Holland of Adriaen Van der
Donk, who came over in 1641 as sheriff
or steward for the great Patroon Van
Rensselaer, at Albany. Van der Donk
was a man of enterprise and ability. He
accumulated money rapidly. and In 1867
obtained what was known as the Nepper-
haem grant, which extended from Spuy-
ten Duyvil on the south to brook three
miles above the railway station in Yon-
kers. The people called 1t DE Jonkheer's'
grant, which means 1.-The young lord S.

There are few pastimes known to the people of Morocco that are not con- nected with religion" writes a traveller. :.Children play football of q kind, and leapfrog. and practice wrestling and fencing. They also pursue rabbits with curved sticks and throw these with ex- traordinary skilL Some few experts claim to be able to kill cartridges with the same simple weapon The great game of the adult Moor is the label barood, or powder play. This exercise is taken on horseback, and to see a body of Moorish horsemen come down at the charge with guns high above their heads to a given spot, where they fire their weapons and then pull their horses up on to their launches. is a sight that will never be forgotten even by those who have seen cavalry ma neuvers in Europe. Moors are very proud of their horsemanship and with reason"

DEMOCRACY'S HOPE
 AS SEEN BY BRYAN
WANTS DEMOCRATS TO MAKE NEXT FIGHT ON TARIFF
 FOR REVENUE zsf.ss ONLY s=. iE

Lincoln, Aug. 27.-Mr. Bryan de clares in today's Commoner that the next light of Democracy must be along the lines of C1eveland's victory. He says in part:
 s~phe time is passed for sham battles on the tarin question. The only victory we have won on the tarif in recent years was the victory of 1892, when we attacked the principle of protection. No real fight can be made until distinct line is drawn between the op- posing forces.
 fsThe progressive Republicans can not make a successful fight against the Aldrichs element because both factions fn the Republican party claim to be protectionists. It is only question Of derree, with no way of defining the 1s- sue So with those Democrats who shy at a tariff for revenue only, they cannot state their position without borrowing Republican phraseology. Whenever a Democrat begins to de- fend protection he throws away his arnag and joins the ranks of non-com- batants.
 sTaxation should be for revenue on- Iy. Taxation Of the many for the ben efat of the few is robbery under the form of law, whether it is invoked to aid the manufacturers of the East or the producers of raw material in the Wegt and South
 ssTarfn reform by the friends of pro- lection has turned out to be a fraud. Tarin reform by protectionist Demo crats would be just as disappointing TarfH reform by the friends of the tar fir is impossible. Tarin reform by the enemies of high tarih is not only req sonable but necessary.

Cured by Miracle,
 NonageBarian Says

New York, Aug. 27.-After a fall
 rom a window at St. Mary's Star of he Sea Roman Catholic church, Bay pnne. N. J.. last Sunday. in which he received injuries believed at the time to be mortal, Patrick Moriarty, S4 years old, was able to attend service at the church yesterday morning.
 Moriarty has attended every mass celebration at St. Mary's for the last quarter of a century, three on week days and six on Sundays. He came here from Ireland nearly three-quar- ters of a century ago.
 He was trying to close a window in the church last Sunday when he lost his balance and plunged to the pave ment, ten feet below. He was uncon- scfous when picked up, and there was a Jagged cut in his head near the base of the skull, which, the physicians said would cause his death.
 Moriarty said he believed he was cured by a miracle.

Epidemic in Brownsville
 Of Infantile Paralysis

New York, Aug. 27.-Brownsville is the center of an outbreak known as in fantjle paralysis, a disease for which, according to pr. M. J. Battelba um of 345 Stone avenue, Brooklyn, the med ical profession have found no success full treatment. The epidemic broke out about three weeks ago. pr. Battel- baum said last night, until now more than 200 children between the ages of 1 and years, are down with the ill., ness.
 It's symptoms are high fever and temperature, often followed by convul- sions. Then comes relaxation of the muscles, leaving the hands and feet, of the sufferer paralyzed. In many cases the victim is left a cripple for life. pr. Battelbaum said that the electric battery has helped in some cases. He said he informed the Brooklyn depart ment of health some two weeks ago it would be advisable to isolate the taken of the matter except to ask him to make thorough report.''
 Dr. Battelbaum said that the last known outbreak of the kind occurred in Rutland, Vt in 1894, when 119 cases were reported, all being children un- der five years of age. Eighteen deaths occurred.
 Dr. Blauvelt, assistant superinten- dent of the Brooklyn Board of Health said last night that a doctor from Brownsville had telephoned to the de- parument, but that no official report of the outbreak had been made. When this is done, he said, the matter will be taken up.

IDLE PRISONERS
 HAVE GONE MAD

Pittsburg. Aug. 27.-The announce ment is made that convicts are going insane by the wholesale in Riverside Penttentiary. Idle prisoners frays with fellow convicts over real or inn aginary wrongs. their plots to escape, and the sullen attitude toward the guards, together with the melancholia which has terminated in dementia for many of the inmates, have forced War den John Francies to take the first step toward decreasing the poDulation of the Western Penitentfary by rid ding it of nearly three score of con- victs who have become mad since their incarceration.
 The Warden will ask that every county which has prisoners in the inquire into the sanity of it's convicts and take away those who are hope lessly insane.
 It is hoped in this way to get rid of more employment for those who re- main. likeness, enforced by the Penn sylvania laws. which prohibit convict labor outside of the prison walls and restrict the use of machinery even in the prison. is responsible. the prison authorities say. for the condition of most of the demented convicts.
 Warden F'rancies hopes to have the that whenever a convict loses his mind he may be taken away from the othsr prisoners and may be put in an insti- tuition for the insane.
 There are at present about 1900 con- victs in the Western Penitentiary. Only 30 per cent. of them have work. That means that over 300 are idle. They work in turns. and when a prs- oner has finished his allotted time of work-about a week-it is more than forty days before he again has em- ployment. During the interval the un- fortunate convict sits and broods in his cell. and in many cases becomes insane

Hardening Steel.

In hardening, bright steel should not be exposed naked to fire or flame. 1t may with advantage be placed in a covered box containing bone dust or animal charcoal in some other form, or another plan is to smear soap all over the article to be hardened. Water or oil is the medium generally selected for plunging the article in to cool it. Petroleum is recommended if extra hardness Is desired. Either mercury or salt water will give great hardness. but the steel Is rendered brittle. Oil is the best medium for hardening steel if toughness is required.
