There is no rest for the street
sprinkling man,
For he keeps at work as hard as he
can.
He sprinkles by night and he sprin-
kles by day
In order that the dust nuisance he
may allay.
While the dusty condition of the
streets in the residence portions of
the city has been something fright
ful for the past few weeks the NUS
ance in the business district has not
been so acute by reason of the liber-
al use of water. Last week the
sprinkler was operated day ana
night in order to keep the dust
down. 1t was kept busy on the busl-
ness streets in the day and at night
portions of streets in some or the
residence sections were sprinkled.

rado Springs is to deliver four lee
lures during the conference.
Edward w. Peck, state secretary for
the association for Minnesota, is in
charge of the music and singing, and

for London. l had passed him on the
road, without knowing him. l re-
turned to London. Sir Peter had seen
several members of the government,
meanwhile, and had been privately in
formed that the king was suffering
mentally; and although hopes were en-
tertained that the spell would pass
away, without the necessity of inform
ing the country or parliament. still,
access to him was refused to all by his
physicians, except the members of his
family and immediate household, and
they were charged not to mention busi-
ness to him: it would be impossible to
approach him.
When Sir Peter told me this, be-
came so weak was forced to sit down.
After a few minutes of agony, desper-
ate resolve came to me. l rose, and
said:
Il have a acknowledgements. but
not impossible. Go with me to the
prince of Wales. He is at Carlton
houue but goes back and forth to
Windsor"
Sir Peter jumped at this poor chance,
and we agreed to 90 Immediately.
We had left York on Friday, and
had reached London on the Monday.
Two days had abeen lost in the jour
ney to Kent; and it was now late in
the evening of Wednesday. We had,
luckily, brought our uniforms along;
and dressing ourselves in them-Sir
Peter with all his orders sewn on his
coat-we called a hackney coach and
drove to Carlton house.
When we got there it was about ten
o'clock in the evening. The windows
were brilliantly lighted up, and it was
about the hour that the prince of
Wales was known to be in his best
humor-but the hour when he most
hated to be disturbed.
We descended, and the sentries
passed us through on account of our
uniforms and Sir Peters decorations
on his breast. We reached the door
and knocked. The porter opened the
door gingerly, when Sir Peter, giving
it kick, walked in, followed by me.
The man attempted to arrest our prog
ress, but Sir Peter said to him.
fercely:
DO you think, you damned lackey.
that you can be insolent to an admiral
in his majesty's service?" The man
apologized humbly and ushered us into
large reception room on the first
floor, saying he would call the gentle
man OF the chambers.
We seated ourselves. Even in that
time of agony. 1 noted the beauty Of
the room-indeed, my senses seemed
preternaturally acute, and every in
cident of that dreadful time is deeply
fixed In my mind. The ceiling was of
gilt, while around the walls were paint

the people. What no one knows is the

might be $500, 100000 in hidden gold
alone. OF silver there may be even
more in proportion, as the silver rupee

CHAPTER lx.-Continued.

The evidence being all in. and the
arguments made, recess was taken.
We were not the only ones who paid
our respects Immediately to Giles
Vernon. Many persons went forward
and shook his hand, while l think Sir
Thomas did not receive a cordial greet
ing from single man or woman in the
hall, although he was known to every
one present.
We got hurried dinner at the tav-
ern, and returned at once to the hall.
1t was about half-past four in the win
ter afternoon, and the day being dark
and lowering candles were required.
The lord Justices instructions to the
jury were then read, and my heart
sank, as in dreadful monotone, he
eNpounded the law to them. Alas! AS
long as the statute against the abduc-
tion of an heiress remained, Giles Yer
non was guilty of capital crime; and
not one word uttered by any one of us
who testified in his behalf did aught
but prove the more strongly that he
had carried Lady Arabella off against
her will.
The jury retired. and, the day having
been fatiguing, the lords justices de-
termined to wait in their retiring room
for an hour, where they could be
called, If the jury promptly reached
verdict. This troubled me-this ex-
pectation of quick decision.
The judges having retired and sus
pended the sitting of the court, we at
once went over and sat with Giles
who maintained perfectly his manly
composure. He laughed with Sir Peter
over some of the events of the fight
between the Ajax and her two enc
mics, complimented Lady Hawkshaw
upon her triumph over the laws of the
land relating to evidence, and said
many kind things TO Daphne.
While we were in the midst of a
cheerful conversation, and not observ-
ant of what was going on in the other
part of the hall, We suddenly heard
the crier proclaiming the entrance of
their lordships, and at the same mo-
mpnt Sir Thomas Vernon entered by
another door. Hanging on his arm
was Lady Arabella Stormont. And
then the jury filed in with solemn
faces, and what followed all seemed
to me like some horrid dream.
Although several persons were
moving about, there seemed to me a
dreadful silence; and although the
candles burned, and great hobgoblin
of moon peered in at the windows,
there seemed an awful darkness. And
after a time, in which l was oppressed
by this ghostly silence and darkness,
] saw the senior lord Justice put on a
black cap and sentence Giles Vernon
to be hanged by the neck until lac was
dead, that day fortnight.
My eyes roved aimlessly around and
fell at that moment on Lady Arabella
Stormont. faint smile flickered on
her lovely mouth.

ORViLLE WRIGHT IS IN THE AIR
AN HOUR AND TWENTY
MINUTES.
FLIES SEVENTY MILES
COULD HAVE CROSSED THE ENG
LISH CHANNEL AND RETURN
ED WITHOUT STOPPING.

Washington. - Establishing a now
record for aviation in America, Orvifle
Wright, in the Wright aeroplane late
Tuesday at Fort Myer, made spec.
tacular flight of one hour. 20 minutes
and As seconds duration. The longest
previous flight was "A minutes made,
by Mr.. Wright last fall.
Several thousand people were given
an exhibition which included the most
daring feats of avivation yet accom-
plished. The machine travelled about
seventy miles, it was estimated by
Wilbur Wright, and at one time during
the flight the height attained be-
tween 26O and $50 feet, exceeding the
highest point ever reached by heav-
ier than air machine on this continent.
The most wonderful part of the flight
was the execution of three complete
figure eights," which required care,
full maneuvering in directing the ma
chine.
The machine was released from the
starting point at $40 o'clock. After
travelling several hundred feet only
about five feet from the ground. the
aeroplane rose gradually to rs feet be
fore making the first turn. After pass
ing the starting point the aviator sent
the machine up on each turn to about
$50 feet, which was maintained until
toward the end of the flight. When
making a turn on the sixth round of
the field the aeroplane began fitting
perceptibly, but Mr.. Wright brought it
down on an even keel again before
reaching the third turn.
After he had been in the air half
an hour, making complete round of
| the field each time. Mr.. Wright ma
neuvred the machine through several
short circles, some not more than 500
feet in diameter.
After circling the field fifty-four
times, the machine started cutting the
figure eight" much to the delight OF
the crowd. The aviator started to
make showing in regard to heigh
The aeroplane rose on each lap until
it was between 260 and $50 feet in
the air. At this altitude the machine
flew half a dozen rounds and then
gradually descended. On the last lap
before the landing Mr.. Wright ap-
preached within twenty feet OF the
earth and made successful and easy
landing after completing eighty-three
rounds of the field.
Mr.. Wright met every requirement
set forth by the government except
that of carrying one passenger and
making the five-mile straightaway
run. Both of these requirements
probably could have been met, but it
is the brothers intention to get their
machine in perfect condition before at
tempting the official flights.
The Wrights declared the machine
is working much better, but that they
want to have several more trials be-
fore the official test. Wilbur Wright,
replying to comment that the flight
Tuesday would have covered the
width of the English Channel, which
Herbert Latham unsuccessfully at
tempted to cross Monday, said it
would have been possible for his
brother to cross from France to Eng
land and to return to France again,
without landing. He also remarked
that it would have been easy to con-
tinue Orville's flight as far as Balti-
! more.
