FRENCH AVIATOR
ASTOUNDS PARIS
Count de Lambert Reaches Height of
1900 Feet.
Travels Frsm Juvissy to Paris and
Return, Making 81 Mles-Circles
Around Eiffel Tower, Per forming
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 Juvissy, he flew
to Paris, about 13 miles. After maneu-
vering over the city at an average
height of 400 feet, he ascended in grad
ually 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, a 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 tre-
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, for
it is to her that I owe this success"
The aviator said that the only incon-
venience he suffered was from the throb-
bing of the engines and from difficulty
in seeing toward the end in the gloom.
The official time of the flight was 49
minutes, 80 seconds. The distance was
roughly estimated at 81 miles, and the
height varied from 800 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 a desire
to carry the aviator in triumph on their
shoulders.

LovETT SUCCEEDS HARTMAN.
Man Chosen by Wizard" President
of Union Pacific.

New York, Oct. 22.-All doubt as to
Edward II. Hartman successor was
set at rest today, when Robert S. Lovett
was elected president of the Union Pa.
cifc road at the annual meeting Of the
directors. In connection with his cleo
tion it was stated that he would soon
be elected president of the Southern
Pacific, of the Oregon Railroad g. Navi-
cation company and Of the Oregon
Short Line.
The sole difference in future con-
ditions, compared with past conditions,
will be that Mr.. Lovett will devote his
entire attention and energy to the Har-
riman lines proper. The annual report
shows that, inasmuch as it discloses the
fact that the Union Pacific has sold its
stock holdings in several other railroads
for which Hartman was credited with
reaching out, it can be stated with Ger.
tainty that Mr.. Lovett was the man Sc
lected by Hartman to succeed himself,
and that he is highly acceptable to the
officials of all lines. The officials, in
fact, many of the rank and file who
knew Mr.. Lovett as a humble attorney
in Texas, regard him with the keenest
affection and respect.
The other men mentioned for the Har-
riman places, among whom were Edwin
S. Hawley, Messrs. Kruttschnitt and
Stubs, John d. Spoor, president of the
Chicago Union Stockyards company; L.
f. Loree and William Newman, were
never for a moment considered by the
board. Messrs. Kruttschnitt and Stubs
knew before Hartman died who would
succeed him, and neither ever aspired to
the position.
More even than Hartman, Mr.. Low
EFT was familiar with the details of the
great system which the "Napoleon -
Of the railway world had builded. Bet
ter than any one else Mr.. Lovett knows
how to carry on and to perpetuate the
system which made Hartman the rail
way king of his time.
Mr.. Lovett will also, as the meetings
of the directors take place, be elected
president of the steamship companies
and other corporations at the head of
which Hartman stood.

Carriage Builders Say Their Business
Is in Doldrums.

Washington, Oct. 90 Automobiles
have displaced carriages to such an ex-
tent that carriage builders are obliged
to retire from business or devote their

buque, Ia, president of the Carriage
Builders National association of the
United States, which convened here in

PLAN FORTS FOR CANAL.
Taft Wants Great Waterway to Be I'm
pregnable When Completed.

Washington, Oct. 2l.-The important
work of constructing Notifications for
the entrances to the Panama canal, it
was said today, will be given careful
by joint army and navy
board during the coming winter. This
board will visit the isthmus and go
over the entire ground, investigating
so that congress may be pre-
pared to act intelligently.
Colonel Goethals, chairman and chief
engineer of the canal commission, has
promised that the canal will be ready to
be opened by January /, 1915, and the
president and his cabinet feel that the
work of placing that waterway in an
position should be finished,
or at least well under way by the time
the canal is ready for practical use.

CHAPTER TWO.
Selecting the Home Site

Of my southwark journey it is need
less to speak; suffice it to say that
arrived in due time in Jacksonville, then
as now. the gateway of Florida, to which
al roads lead, whether from the North,
South, East or West AS to the date of
my arrival, however, [ would like to fol-
low the example of younger scholars
than I, and "speak piece" and that
right earnestly too, because of the mis-
conception that still exists, though not
so universally as in the past, as to the
true inwardness of Florida's summer eli
mate, and the danger of coming into the
State at that season.
[ first set foot on the soil of my
adopted State on the first day of June.
It was in the year 1885, but it is from
the month"; not the year, that [ take
my text.
My departure at the very beginning
of summer had met with the strenuous
opposition of my friends, who were not
as Florida wise as Mollie and myself.
They had not studied the subject as
we had done; we knew, while they ar
gued from ignorant standpoints, and so
we paid no heed to the dire predictions
of disaster that were hurled at us on
every side.
In those days, even more than in the
partially enlightened present, Florida,
while known as an ideal winter home,
was generally regarded as a hotbed of
malaria in the summer. It was said that
