WRICHTS MAKE NEW RECORD.
Aeroplane Manipulated by Orville

OF One Hour. Twenty Minutes and
Forty-five Seconds Duration, Cow
esing a Distance of About 10 Miles
at Height of 200 to $50 Feet.
Washington. July 2O.-Establish-
ing IL new record for aviation in
America, Orville Wright in the Wright
aeroplane late today at Fort Meyer
made spectacular flight Of / hour,
20 minutes and A. seconds duration.
His longest previous fight was IA
minutes made by Mr.. Wright at Fort
Myer last fall
During the entire flight the machine
was under perfect control, but several
times appeared to the spectators to
be on the point Of diving forward.
The machine Travelled a distance OF
about 10 miles, it was estimated by
Wilbur Wright, and at one time dur
in the flight the height attained, be-
tween 2GO and $50 feet, exceeded the
highest point ever attained by a
hea VERT han-air machine on this con-
tinent.
The most wonderful part Of the
flight was the execution Of three COIN
plete figure eights," which required
careful manoeuvering in directing the
machine.
A thrill passed through the specta-
tors us the white flyer, apparently
beginning to dive to the earth would
regain it's equilibrium and speed on
ward around the oval above the pa
rade grounds. After rounding the
course half hundred times the avia
tor directed the machine around the
course in small double circles of
figure eight" 1t was the first time
this season and the second time dur
ing his career he has executed this
Vancouver.
To the amazement of the crowd the
machine described a second eight and
then n third one, after which it was
guided back to it's former course OF
large OvalS.

Southern scholarship is accorded
fresh recognition in the selection of
DR.. Charles Alphonso Smith for the
Roosevelt professorship at the Uni
yersitv of Berlin for the season of
1901. DR.. Smith is a doctor of
philosophy of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity and has pursued his special
studies at the University of Paris and
the University of Berlin. For several
years he has been the head of the de-
partment of English language and
literature in the University of North
Carolina, and recently was elected
Edgar Allan Poe Professor of Vir-
ginia. The new honor follows fast
upon the heels OF his selection for
this important position in the facul-
ty of the famous Virginia University.
DR.. Smith is a fine representative
of Southern Scholarships man of
thorough training, whose learning is
unshadowed by any cloud of pedan-
try. He should prove an excellent
ambassador from America to the
universities OF Germany.

Danger in Tennessee Justice.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta
Tennessee legal produce, as exem-
plitied in the decision rendered by the
Supreme Court of that State granting
new trials to the night rider murder
ers of Captain Quentin Rankin, pre-
sentsin marked degree the extremely
dangerous end to which technicality
and legal bubble may be used to
bring about the miscarriage of
justice.
When Tennessee took prompt hold
OF the night rider outrages, put the
militia into the field and arrested the
leaders of this band of assassins, and
convicted them, sending the ring
leaders to the gallows and some of
their associates to life terms in the
penitentiary, that State was applaud
ed for the evidence of it's purpose and
determination to suppress Outlawry.
But the Supreme Court of that
State, by stroke of the pen, has large
ly nullitied the good work then done,
for no other reason than the alleged
failure of the trial court to follow
the strict letter of the law in the
selection of grand and petit juries.
1t cannot be credited that the good
people of that state willcondone this
refusal to punish the most fragrant
and outrageous murder in the recent
history of Tennessee.
If human discretion, lodged in men
supposed to be capable OF interpre-
ting the law, will not protect society
from the consequences of that class
of technicality invoked solely for the
purpose OF defeating the ends of JUS
tlce, then the law should takes hand
and abridge that discretion to the
point at least where society might
be reasonably safe.
Where unassailable evidence justi-
ties verdict, as was the case in this
instance. techlicality should not be
permitted to interfere with the execu-
ton of it.
There has never yet been tried
an absolutely fawless case. Some
where in every court record will be
found more or less error Then il
technicality is to be permitted to
override Justice, administration of
the law will lie in the hands of the
strong and there will be no need of
courts.

RIGGS WANTS TO
 BRING TEAM HERE
Argenta Club is Due Money and May sBlow- the State League-Pine Bluff Lacks Enthusiasm.

A. s. Riggs, manager of the Ar genta baseball team of the Arkansas embarrassed and which has been State League, which is financially taken over by the League in an eff fort to prevent it's failure, is in the city in an effort to get the local fans to take hold of the club for Pine Bluff for the remainder of the sea- son. If no arrangements are made Argenta will be dropped from the League, and Fort Smith will be com pelled to quit business, permitting the other six clubs to compose the League for the remainder of the base ball year.
 Riggs team has been up among the leaders all season, and now holds second place in the official standing. He declares that he has pennant- winning aggregation, sober lads and energetic ball tossers. He is con- ferring with local fans in an effort to bring about some kinl of arrange ment for the transfer of the Argenta team here.
 Some weeks ago the fans organ ized here for the purpose of securing State League franchise. and they meant business. At that time Riggs felt the approach of the financial troubles, as his men were not get ting their salaries regularly, and he wanted to come to Pine Bluff to as sure them of continued League life. !" A proposition was made to the State League, but President Hurst could not see any troubles ahead and did not encourage the movement The result was that the enthusiasm died out, and it is as dead as a door nail" now It is not very probable that
 anything definite will be accom- plished here by Riggs, notwithstand- l ing his persistency.
 l Past experiences on the part of the local fans in the State League and Cotton States League were so costly that they are afraid to "try it again. If Sunday baseball was permitted here, there are several hundred men and women of means who would back a team individually in this city, but without it they prefer to fight shy" of the baseball business.

LIVING WITHIN ONES MEANS

Helen Watts Newly in the Commoner
The greatly increased cost of the
plainest living is working a great hard
ship on the families of moderate in
comes. Many families have an income
of but ten to twelve dollars week, and
these parents make great sacrifices in
order to give their children common,
living comforts They are willing to
live poorly and dress plainly to keep
together; but what if the income is ten
dollars, and the expense twelve? You
will say, "Curtail expenses but you
can not curtail the cost of a five cent
loaf of bread when you can get it for
no less, and with meat at almost prohi-
bitive prices, the family of moderate
means gets very little of it. Vege-
tables are almost as dear as meat, and
fruit Of any respectable quality is out
of reach of small wages. Rents are ex-
orbitant, the cheapest clean, healthy To-
cations are taken so fast that nothing is
left, an ithe poorest shelters in the

working people have squeezed their
few dollars until they can squeeze no
more. The question of clothing and
incidental necessities seem utterly be-
yond solution. The increased cost of
living and the absolute inability of par
ents to meet their obligations to their
children are conditions that break up
homes, separate parents from children
and play larger part than anything
else in the so-called race suicide prob
lem. It is not only the shiftless class
that suffers; now, when it is claimed
to be a period of great prosperity, we
see many honest toilers ready to give
up the struggle, while homes are mar
rowing down to room OF rooms in
tenement houses, small, uncomfortable
flats, and mere sheds for shelter be

Lake Charles American: An event Of
more than passing interest to the $4,000
Louisiana Baptists and their friends, is
their "Orphanage Work Day" planned
for November 6. on which day they
hope to raise $4,000 for their orphans
home at Lake Charles
Upon call from the orphanage board
of trustees, an effort is being made to
have every individual Baptist in the
State make a contribution of what he
earns on this day.
To aid i'll making the effort success,
the Baptist Sunday schools in the State
will make mite box contributions on the
9TH, using mite boxes made by the chill
dren of the orphanage. And under the
direction of Mrs. F. NJ Hollingsworth
of New Orleans, president of the Louis
lana Baptist Woman's Missionary I'm
ion, all of the ladies societies in the
State will give some kind of an enter
tainment on this day, and devote the
proceeds to the fund
This amount is needed to pay of an
Indebtedness on the property and a
deficit in running expenses incurred
during the last two years. 1t is no small
matter to raise $1,000 in one day from
small Contributions; however, the unit
ed and well organized plan is securing
shc,l Enthusiastic coop .sati II all ever
the State that the friends of the insti-
tuition are hopeful of realizing their
fullest expectations on this day.
The Baptist orphanage is a worthy
benevolence. In the nine years of its ex-
1stence it has cared for over $50 BOYS
and girls. One of the commendab1e
features of the work done in the insti-
tuition is the industrial training given
the inmates.
There are seven distinct departments
of training, viz: Stenography printing,
store, bakery, poultry; dairy and gar
dening, by which the children are pre-
pared to take care of themselves when
they leave the home.
Such work done for the helpless or
phan should commend itself to every
individual as being worthy Of liberal
support, and it is to be hoped that the
$4,000 will be raised
