A large New York dry goods store has
opened a department for the sale of
goods made by the blind. They include
a large catalogue of staple articles rang
ing from wooden boots and baby socks
to rugs and hammocks. The department
has opened well, and if it proves perma-
nently successful it will afford many
blind workers the means of maintaining
themselves in comfort by their own
labor. The idea is one that with good
effect might be put into practice else

SECRETARY OF WAR APPROVES
AUTHORIZES LEASE OF FIELD
FOR AIRSHIP SCHOOL.
Location Not Specified, But College
Park Tract Likely to Be Selected.
The Wrghts' Plans.

Word was received at the War Depart
ment today from Secretary Dickinson ap-
proving the lease of a tract of land for
training ground for the signal service
officers who will handle the Wright aero
plane. This approval simply calls for the
lease of tract of suitable ground, and
does not specify the tract that has been
under consideration at College Park If
suitable terms can be made with the own
ers, however this tract will be selected
1t is expected that Wilbur Wright will
return to Washington Monday, and tine
trial flights for the benefit of the army
officers will be commenced as soon after
that as possible.
Considerable amusement was caused at
the War Deparime today by the state
ment, attributed to Gen. Allen, that the
Wright machine would be open to the use
of any one interested in aviation who
wanted to try it. What Gen. Allen did
say was that the Wright machine while
at the flying grounds could be seen by
any one who wanted to look at il, this
remark being brought out by the fact
that comparatively few people got close
view Of it while it was at Fort Myer.
The announcement that Glenn III. Cur
tisS had sailed from New York TO take
part in the international races at Rheims
was coupled with d statement that he
would take with him both one of his own
machines and one of Herring's. Her
rings contract with the War Dep artment
has been annulled, and if he enters ma
chine in the races at Rheims it will be
the first time that the mysterious Herring
machine has ever been seen. Curtiss will
be the representative of the Aero Club of
America while abroad, and will enter the
races for the heayier-than-air machines.
He has attached a bigger gasoline reser-
voir to his machine. and wants to try for
an endurance record. If this is satisfac-
tory he intends to enter his machine in
the race from New York to Albany at the
time of the Fulton celebration In October.
This race is open to both lighter and
heavier than air machines Among the
entrants in the former class is Capt.
Thomas S. Baldwin, who is well known in
Washington through having sold the
small dirigible balloon to the government
after the trials at Fort Myer last year.
1t is feature of the rules for the New
York to Albany race that two landings
are to be allowed. so the 140-mile flight
is broken into three sections, and it is be-
lieved that this is well within the capabil-
tiles of several of the American machines
that have been tried out this year.

HARTMAN IN ROAD BARTER.
May Get Old Turnpike in Trade to
Insure Privacy.

MIDDLETOWN, n. Y, August Sc.
Fl. Hartman. who has spent about a
million dollars in the construction of a
mansion on Tower Hill. above Arden, now
proposes 10 trade roads with the town of
Woodbury. in order to secure greater
privacy for his estate.
The arrangement, which it is believed
will be contaminated by the town authori-
ties and representatives of the great rail-
road magnate before his return from Aus
tria, will give Hartman several miles of
what is known as the old turnpike run
ming from Central Valley to Tuxedo. past
the mansion. The road which Hartman
gives in exchange is of the same length,
and was built by him. 1t is said that the
road is much better than the old road,
being shorter cut for the town and free
from railroad grade crossings.
Having built one of the finest mansions
in the world, Mr.. Hartman is determined
to spare neither pains nor wealth to rem
der his estate strictly private.

MILLIONS FOR SIDEWAYS.
English Contractors Have Looked
Over Field for Investment.

NEW YORK, August 81. Bower Du-
nellan, who is known as 1.-The contractors
lawyer" left here today for London
where he will meet Sir Edward Page and
other titled Englishmen to discuss a pro-
posed investment of several million pounds
of British capital in the building of
bridges. aqueducts and subways in New
York city and its vicinity.
Mr.. Dunellan says British capitalists are
anxious to engage in contract work on
this side of the Atlantic. They consider
that the public Improvements field here
offers better opportunities for investments
than anything they can get abroad
Sir Edward Pages idea is to form a cor
poration under the laws of New York
state and by investing several million
pounds sterling secure some of the coll
tracts for the big public improvement
works which are constantly being started
Much of this corporations money, says
Mr.. Dunellan, will be used for the con-
struction of subways.

Safeguard Against Earthquakes.
rom the Wide World Marazine

run tAt w luz W
remarkable fact in Japan is that pa
godas built hundreds of years ago en-
body the principle of the modern seis-
mograph. which is to minimize the effect
of earthquake motion by the combination
of an inverted pendulum with ordi-
nary pendulum: or, in other words. by
the union of a stable and an unstable
structure to produce a neutral stability
which renders the whole building least
sensible to earthquake shock.
In the hollow well of every five-storied
pagoda a heavy mass of timber lis sus-
pended freely. like an exaggerated
tongue. from the top right to the ground.
but not in contact with it. and at the
shock CT an earthquake this large pen
dulum slowly swings, the structure
sways, and then settles back safely upon
its base.
This is also the principle followed in
the construction of all bell-towers
throughout Japan, where the bell acts as
pendulum and the roof, supported by
posts. forms an inverted pendulum, as in
the seismograph.
When an earthquake occurs, pagoda
or a beethoven may be rotated or dis
placed. but it cannot be overturned as a
whole. In Simla the motion of the
ground April 4, 1903, was about two
inches, and it would require a motion of
several feet to overturn big body.

Because Of jealousy.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, August 5.-Herman Bell

withstanding the fact he is married

ly loved the girl for the past six years
Bell became enraged when he saw the
girl and her sister talking with sew
eral young men near her home. A quar-
rel followed. and Bell drew a revolver
and fired five shots. Three bullets took
effect, causing wounds from which Miss
Bell died soon after being taken to the
County Hospital. Bell attempted to
escape after the shooting, but w; ar

Ventilate the Public Halls!

OF
l would suggest in the interest of the
public health, as well as the comfort and
pleasure of the people. that all inclosed
places of public entertainment should be
thoroughly ventilated for one hour before
opening to the public. and one hour after
closing. Any one who has breathed the
fetid atmosphere Of most all places of
entertainment and of public halls of all
description will surely agree with me.
Wash them out with good fresh air. /
do not suppose we could ask for them to
be washed out with water. Did any one
ever hear of q place of everyday use for
public gatherings being washed out with
soap and water? DO not spit on the
street is a ridiculous rule when you
think of public halls that are never
washed or ventilated. If Washington in
PRODUCES this reform the whole country
will applaud. 1t would seem that any
sensible community would not submit to
such an outrage on health and comfort.

Our Novels.
From Puck.

Our novels are usually much ado about
nothing. The ado is we'll done, on the
whole, but still it's about nothing.
The people in them aren't So atrociously
bad, only they do make themselves seem
rather unreal by the seriousness with
which they take the tangled web we
weave when we practice to write a seller
When nature is too MUCH for us. we
hold the mirror up to a species of super
nature. conceiving demigods of lath and
plaster. and making material of their
queer loves and hates and hopes and
fears. That is tolerably safe ground, be-
cause nobody understands the psychology
Of demi-gods and one mans guess is as
good as another.

challenge to the administration to call
another extra session of the Legisla-

Constitution in q form which will be
clearly understood and about which
its advocates themselves might agree.
/ And when at the climax OF his con-

offer at the opposition. there was q
shout OF enthusiasm from the big
crowd that comfortably Allied the
large opera house.
aBut they will not do. they dare not
do IT," added the distinguished Mont.
gomerian. "for few of them have the
moral courage to have an extra ses-
sion for this worthy purpose and none
OF them have the political courage to
do IT,"
The address OF Mr.. Rushton was
well received and the anti-amendmenf
forces have added to their already
boistered hopes.
The leaders declare they will carry
the city by at least three to one and
promise the state committee that the
county will maintain the same or .
greater majority.
The enthusiasm Of tonight's meeting
would indicate the pne-sided nature OF
the contest here. And the crowd. ac-
cording to the estimate CT conservative
residents who attended both meetings
out-numbered by two to one the au-

On the stage surrounding the speak.

in the applause quite as heartily as
