FLIGHTS AT ST. LOUIS
DuigibIes Vim Honors OUe'' Hero
pIaneS-CurtisS Has accident.

ST. Louis. Oct Glenn H. Curtiss made three
aeroplane flights here to-day In he covered
more than a quarter Of a mile. The shortest was
about 30 yards This witnessed by four hun
dred thousand persons. who had waited for hours
in Forest Park
Curtisss last performance of the day cut
short by his engine failing when he about
twenty-five feet from the ground The machine
glided to irregular landing place and rudder
guy snapped Curtiss said the machine would lie
ready for service Tomorrow
In the flights to-day Curtiss used biplane. witls
a 25-hOrsepower motor Few people witnessed the
first two flights. the morning mist still
dispelled. stiff wind this afternoon delayed him
until dusk
George Francis Osmont. who is with the
Farman biplane, which the endurance prize
at Rheims attempted three times at dusk to
satisfy the crowd that he could fly. He circled the
field several times but not fast enough TO enable
him TO leave the ground.
~monOplane built ghe lines of Latham's
machine by L. A Robinson. Of st. Louis. was alsc
brought out but the motor failed 10 develop suf-
hcient power, and no attempt made to go into
the air
The really successful navgators of the air were
Roy Knabenshue, Lincoln Beachey and Thomas
Baldwin in dirgibles. Baldwin made extended
flight when motor trouble overcome him and he
was forced to land in the crowd His second fight.
after repairs had been made, was greeted with
great applause.
Knabenshue however. was the favorite with the
crowd. He and Beachey thrilled the spectators by
mounting simultaneously and flying about two
miles side by side Knabenshue left Beachey's air
ship in the rear when the latters motor became
overheated. Knabenshue then swept out over the
park a great circle.
Curtiss and Osmont will make fights tomorrow.
and it is expected Robinson will make another
trial.

ERIE KEPT THEM AT WORK.

Without any intention of confirm
ing the statement made by officers of
the Erie railroad as to the amount
or Improvement that is being done
by that company, the State Labor
Commissioner of New York, in ac-
counting for the falling off in the
demand for labor for the year 1908
as compared with former years, saws
that II 1t had not been for the thous-
ands of men employed by the Erie
railroad Company last year in MAX
ing improvements in this state and
in New Jersey there would have been
much suffering among that class of
laborers who depend for living up
on railroad construction. Thus from
an unexpected source, the Erie road
gets confirmation of the fact, that
while the upstate Public Service
Commission was considering Wheth-
er or not it should permit the COM
pany to issue $30,000,000 worth of
new bonds for redemption and i'm
provements, the company was going
right along and making the better
ments anyhow, confident that in due
time the commission would see the
wisdom of permitting the company
to capitalize its necessary work of
expansion. When the Erie has
completed it's general plan of i'm
provements in the way of cut-offs and
easier grades, it is estimated that
the betterments will effect wonder
full economies in the matter of haul
ing freight and thereby increasing
both its gross and net returns from
an enlarged freight business, not to
mention the increased passenger
business that will naturally follow

THE DWINDLING
WAR VETERANS
The Grand Army Now Only Half as
Large AS it Was Twenty Years


When the veterans of the 6,057
posts of the Grand Army of the Re-
public assemble for roll call on
Memorial Day on Monday next, the
gaps in the ranks will be greater
than ever before, for the records
nearly $4,000 comrades have
passed to the last muster The
Army now numbers barely 100000.
Less than twenty years ago there
was double that number and even
on Dec. 81, 1907, the various de-
partments showed a total member
ship of 225,157. One by one, how
ever, and two by two, the men who
fought at Gettysburg and Chancel-
lorsville and Antietam, have drop
ped from the ranks and each year
fewer voices have answered to the
roll call. The death rate that twen-
ty years ago was less than one per
cent. has now increased to five per
cent.
Slowly but surely the ranks of
the equally brave Confederate vet
Grams, have dwindled, until to-day
but a tithe remains Of Early's men
and Morgan's troopers and the al
most invincible armies of Lee and
Beauregard. Not all the survivors
are included in organizations, how
ever. The rolls of the government
still carried on the first of this
month the names Of 601, ,699 veter-
ans of the civil war. Illinois has al
ways been prominent in the coun-
ellis of the G. A. R. The first post
of the Army was organized in that
state, at Decatur, April 6, 1866.
New York state leads in the number
of posts, with sos, followed by Penn
sylvania, 526; Ohio, $40, and Illi-
nois, SIS.
The Association of United Con-
federate Veterans was organized
June 10, 1889, and has 1900 camps
with a membership of about 10000.
Since the war many of the veterans
have scattered and camps are now
located in the northwest and on the
Pacific coast as we'll as in the south
ern states.
Capt. James Ham Post, of Homes
dale, mustered one hundred and
forty members in 1889, and or
Monday next barely thirty veterans
will answer the roll call.
