THE institution will have it's own work

inn and tests of all kinds clearing
upon the subjects upon which instruction
is given) will be carried out. Finally a
trial ground will be procured, where aerial
machines made in the workshops or the
college by students, or aeroplanes and dir

students taught to fly"
Arranging for instruction.
The Aerial league has further arranged
for a course of lectures to be given in a
number of the leading public schools.
The governments invitation to the
| Wright brothers and the setting aside OF
a considerable sum from the new naval
estimates for the building OF an aerial
warship and experiments In aerial naviga-
ton are accepted as an indication that the
naval and military authorities are gradu-
ally waking up to the fact that they are
being left behind by France and Germany.
It is true that for some time the military
authorities at Aldershot have been carry
ing on experiments with tho Cody aero
plane. but the series of mishaps which
has befallen that unfortunate machine
has not led the public 20 hope for much
from it. Every trial has had It's accident,
and although the machine actually accom-
plished a short flight on the last occason
the feat was marred by it's erratic behavior
and its final fall to the ground from a
height OF a dozen feet.

suitable conditions under which he has
had to conduct his experiments, the space
OF ground placed at his disposal being much
too small for the purpose.
A things considered" says the Times,
"Mr. Cody has done marvels in building a
machine to withstand the rough usage II
is subjected to, and he has certainly
evolved one OF the most carefully and
stanchly constructed aeroplanes yet pro-
duced." Which is praise-of a sort.
Government Laying Low.
The government has made no detailed
statement OF It's aerial policy. Minister
OF War Haldane has announced that the
army council proposed during the ensuing
year to consider the machines of private
inventors, but it would be premature to
forecast what experiments are to be made.
For this purpose $4,000 have been put
aside. France last year expended s., J0,O
on it's balloon battalions. and Germany
sos, 755.
1t is understood that the Admiralty is
deeply interested In an aerial warship now
being constructed at Portsmouth under the
supervision Of two naval officers, the de-
signers of the machine. Much secrecy is
being observed in the undertaking, but II
Is known that the framework is of very
light. hollow steel tubing and wood, and
the large boXlike fans, which are intended
TO serve as wings, will be covered with
patent prepared silk. The motive power
will be furnished by a ~forty-horse power
petrol engine. 1t will be some months be
fore the machine will be ready for its
trials. which will be conducted by the Ad-
miralty.

CLERICALS FIGHT PAPERS
FOR BELITTLING MIRACLES
Mexican Newspapers Charge Priests
with Manufacturing ApHritiOns
to Brighten People.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, April 3.-Arch-
bishop Ortiz and the priests of the Catholic
church here have declared open war
against the anti-clericals here, the latter
of whom are seeking to belittle the mirac-
ulous power Of the Virgin Mary. An anti
clerical newspaper charged the priests with
manufacturing apparitions' in order to
brighten the people into believing that the
Virgin Mary was appearing at various
places. The archbishop, in a sermon, de-
Tended the doctrine of miracles and adjured
all members OF the church to remain firm
in their faith. The attacking paper was
reinforced by two other newspapers, which
rallied to their support, and in retaliation
the cIericals started a boycott against all
three publications and in addition posted

sc, !. Hood Co., Lowell, Mass.
Gentlemen: / believe l can give Hoods
Sarsaparilla as good a recommendation as any
one, for / have seen its wonderful effects upon
my own little daughter. She was entirely blind
for two years, and Hoods Sarsaparilla cured her.
1t is wonderful, and do you think it surprising
that I feel very grateful to this medicinef
"My story is, briefly, as follows: We had
her vaecinated, SO that she could go to school.
Pretty soon, however, before her arm healed, she
began to have sore eyes. They kept getting
worse, and we took her to the doctor. Prstty
soon she was blind in one eye, and could see very
little with the other. They told us she had ulcers
on the ~eyeballs, and we had five different doctors,
some of the best specialists, and paid out over
5000 for her treatment. They told us she would
lose her sight. She could not stand the least
particle of light, and so we kept her in a dark
room for weeks at a time. Occasionally she would
be a little better, but she became so poor and
nervous that she could not sleep, and / did not
know what on earth to do, and was just as dis
couraged as could be when my mother said to me:
Il want you to give her Hoods SarsapariIla.' I
did not think it any use, but l did as she rec
commended, and 1 am glad l did. When / had
given her eight bottles her eyes had SO much inn
proved that she could not only stand the light,
but was able to 60 to school for the first time in

her life. You see why it is that 1 cannot say
too much for Hoods Sarsaparilla. She is just
as much pleased with a new bottle of Hoods as
with anything We can get for her, and if / forget
to give it ! her, she will say: Now Mamma.
give me my new Hoods
"To think that once we thought she could
never use her eyes, and now she can do the
finest needle work! 1t is wonderful, and we can
not praise Hoods enough" Mrs. Jennie Boards
ley, 2l2 Homer street, Elmira, N. Y.
We wish we could convince you Of the alb
solute truth concerning the testimonials for
Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Careful inquiry would prove to you beyond
a doubt that every testimonial we publish is as
reliable as if it came from your most trusted
n%eighbor; that we have more testimonials than
we can possibly publish; that every one we use
is genuine and truthful as far az we can learn,
and entitled TO your entire confidence.
We say this much in presenting the letter from
Mrs. Beardsley, printed above. This is only one
of thousands Of letters We have, telling of won
derful cures.
There is not the slightest doubt that as a
thorough blood purifier at all times of year and
for all blood diseases, Hood's Sarsaparila is the
greatest medicine that has ever been discovered.
Do you wonder at Mrs. Beardsley's enthusi-
asmf You should certainly take Hoods Sarsa-
Parilla for your spring medicine. Get it today.

The day after the fire. nevertheless, the
volunteers are careful to go around to the
houses Of all Christians in the neighborhood
to levy blackmail, declaring that to them
was due the stopping OF the conflagration's
ravage. A wealthy house owner may be
called upon by the chiefs OF ten or a dozen
OF these brigades. And as the volunteers
number always the most desperate OF the
local brigands it may be dangerous not to
reward them TO some extent, say a tenth
of what they first demand.

Jewish youth wearing a fez came up to us,

be wise TO leave the scene. 1t has been

What is the Future
of Austin Mill?
fCoudersport Enterprise ]

A report was sent out to some of the
daily newspapers in this section last
week that the Goodyear Lumber Com
pany, which has large timber tracts in
the Potato Creek region, was prepar
ing to erect a big mill at Liberty in
Mexican county. However, investiga-
tion does not seem to bear out this re-
port.
The Goodyears already have mills at
Austin and Keating Summit and are
building railroad down into the Po-
tato Greek section for the purpose of
getting its hemlock timber to the above
mentioned mills. Frank Greco has
the contract for the construction of this
extension and has big force OF men
hustling the work to completion.
Then again if.the company erected
new plant at Liberty it would practi-
cally mean idleness for the big plant
at Austin. 1t is understood that peo-
pie in Mexican county have made an
offer to the Goodyears for the pur-
chase of the hardwood timber on Po-
tato Greek and if it should be accepted
then no doubt the hardwood would be
worked up by new mill placed in the
tract, as it could be utilized cheaper
there than by shipping it to the plants
at Austin or Heating Summit. If the
sale does become effective it will be
sad blow to Austin as the big Goodyear
mill there would of necessity have to
close down inside of two years for
lack of timber to work. Then it is
claimed that there is possibility that
the hemlock would also be worked
up at the Mexican county plant rather
than at Austin.

wedding junction and spends three
hours writing it up and tells lies prais
