the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition

which, from every standpoint, was more

The sun shone bright, the flowers were

brilliant show.

Mnlai Hatld aoads spain.

Paris, Oct. 1S.-The Mathis CORE
spondent at Oran, Algeria, telegraphs
that Muiai Hafid, the sultan of Morocco,
has sold the Riff mines, which were the
cause of the trouble between Spain and
the Moors on the Riff coast, to a German
company. The correspondent explains
that such a transaction was now per
fectly feasible, as the Spanish held the
mines by reason only of a payment of
$4,000 to Roghi, the pretender, who
was recently put to death by the sultan.
Consequences of the gravest character
would appear inevitable.

London, Oct. 49," Francisco Ferrer

Teherkesoff, Russian liberal and news
paper writer, today. "He was the
modern Pestalozzi of Spain. He was
ardent with enthusiasm, yet regular and
hard worker. This was the secret of
his success in creating in Spain, espe-
cially in Barcelona and Catalonia, a
great popular movement for free ma
tional lay schools.
81 first met him and his beautiful
young wife four years ago at Brussels,
in the home of the great geographer,
Elisee Reelus. Professor Ferrer then
said:
1T is evident that I shall not be
allowed to conduct our national schools
in Spain. but here in Brussels or in
Paris l shall continue my pedagogie
work. Capable and devoted friends
will take my place in SPAIN
professor Ferrer fastened back to
Spain, owing to illness there of little

FRENCH AVIATOR
AST0UNDS PARIS
Count de Lambert Reaches Height Of
1900 Feet.
Travels Frsm Juvissy to Paris and
Return, Making 81 Miies-Circits
Around EIffel Tower, PERI, r.ning
Greatest Feat Since Memorable
Flight of Santos Dumont.

Paris, Oct. 19.--Count de Lambert.
French aeroplanist, just before dark to-
night accomplished one of the most re-
markable and daring feats yet credited
to heavier-than-air machines. Starting
from the aerodrome at Juyissy, he flew
to Paris, about ID miles After maneu-
vering over the city at an average
height of 400 feet, he assembled in grad
uaily diminishing circles, and passed
several hundred feet above the Eifel
tower. He then returned to Juvissy.
Thousands who watched him hardly
could credit their senses when they saw
the aeroplane, tiny object, gliding
swiftly far above the tower, and the
sensation created was more profound
than when Santos Dumont circled the
structure in his dirgible balloon in 1900.
Count de Lambert was given a ire
mendous ovation on his return to Ju-
vissy. Orville Wright rushed forward
and wrung the hand of the aviator as
he alighted. He was led to the pavil-
lion, where his health was drunk, the
crowd meantime cheering Justify and
crying: "Long live Count de Lam
bert" Long live Russia,' De Lam.
bert being of Russian extraction. The
count held up his hand and shouted;
"Cry long live the United States, fol
it is to her that owe this success"
The aviator said that the only incon-
venience he suffered was from the throb
bling of the engines and from difficulty
in seeing toward the end in the gloom
The official time of the flight was 4s
minutes, 80 seconds. The distance wa.
roughly estimated at 81 miles, and the
height varied from 300 to 1900 feet.
Count de Lambert and Mr.. Wright
left the field together in an automobile
Dragons were obliged to clear a way
through the crowd, in which there were
many enthusiasts, who showed desire
to carry the aviator in triumph on theii

Barrie offers Sacrifice.

London, Oct. Isl. M. Barrie, novel
ist and playwright, did not enter suit
for divorce, it is now asserted by his
friends, until Gilbert Canaan, whom he
named as correspondent, took solemn
pledge to marry Mrs. Barrie after the
decree had been granted. Moreover,
as Canaan is not well provided with
money, Barrie made a handsome settle
ment on his wife before he fled his
petition for separation, making her
financially independent Throughout
the whole affair Barrie acted with the
greatest generosity although he was
grievously afflicted.
