Accident Follows Two Most Successful
Flights, and Causes Slight Delay

is LAID TO MISCALCULATION.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 3.-The.
Wright aeroplane met with an accident
Friday evening which caused the thou
sand or more spectators who were view
ing its tligut to fear for the life of Or
vile Wright. When 60 feet above the
earth the motor which propelled the aero
pane suddenly came to n standstil. The
machine swooped down like a bird upon
us prey, striking i'll its course a tree
ana swerving around with such force
mat the sklds were broken and the right
wing badly ripped. Mr.. Wright how.
ever, was uninjured
The machine was on its way around
the Fort Myer drill grounds for the ninth
Time III It's second flight when the motor
stopped, exactly in the same place where
the propeller blade broken last Septem-
Der, which resulted in the fatal accident
that terminated the trials at that time.
Sails Higher and Faster.
The two flights We're the most success
full that Orvlle Wright has made nj
Fort Myer since his return to complete
The government trials. On the first at
tempt he flew about the field twelve
times III IL minutes and 80 seconds ana
on the second trial he had gone around
eight and one-half times when the flight
was terminated by the mishap He had
been III the air for IL little more than
eight minutes. During both flights Mr..
Wright went higher and faster than in
the trials of the two previous days. 1t
was estimated that his speed was about
thlrty-seven miles an hour on an average
although the machine probably exceeded
forty miles when flying with the light
breeze blowing from the south.
The glide downward, which covered a
distance of perhaps 200 feet, was beau
ltul 10 behold, there We're few
among the spectatu. who did not fear,
for Il moment that they were about to
witness repetition of last years acci-
dent Orville and Wilbl inspected the
machine closely to see WHAT caused the
motor to stop. They did not announce
the result Of their investigation, but said
that the aeroplane would not be ready
for air flight before Tuesday ut the earli-
est, because it would be necessary to
send to their Dayton shop for cloth with
which to repair the damage to the
planes.
Laid to Miscalculation.
My motor stopped just as | was over
the aeroplane she'd" said Orville Wright
after the machine had been returned to
the shed. When you are over bushes
and trees you can't judge their height,
and it was due to miscalculation on
my part that the wing hit the tree and
swung the machine around, causing it to
land sdewise on the skids If it hadn't
been for the tree | would have landed
safely. 1t was too bad the accident
has happened, because the machine was
going fine. 1t was making better speed
than Thursday, and more than the ma
chine | used last year. | should judge
the machine was going over forty miles
an hour at certain times

DEMOCRATS.
Senate Weary of Oratory.

Even more significant than the victory
for the Aldrich leaders upon the one
fight where insurgents had placed then
last hope, is the temper the Senate dis
played in ordering the vote. There Is
no longer any doubt that it is weary
OF the flood of words which have been
poured forth day after day by the Chau
tauuua screamers who had nothing &c
say, and therefore said il again and
again.
For twelve days now Washington has
been under a sizzling siege of torridity
that has sent the thermometer on daily
excursions over the 100 mark. And III
the furnace of the Senate chamber the
nations lawmakers have Sweltered and
chafed in vain under the strain of sena
toria courtesy. But that courtesy was
broken Friday, when Senator Aldrich
forced the issue to a vote despite the
feeble flibustering tactics Of few Dem
orrats and a few insurgents. The Senate
backed him up. and when it was over
most Of the senators kicked themselves
that they had not broken down the re.
straint long ago.
Income Tax Dies, AS to 81.
The first vote was upon the motion r.
substitute the corporation tax amend
mcut for the Lodge 'onntcrvailing duty
amendment, and this prevailed by a vote
of ~ to 81. The affirmative vote was

taken on motion to substitute the cor.

an exact counterpart of the vote on the
previous roll call.
Next in order came the vote upon thu
corporation tax upon its own merits. but
before this ballot could be reached Mr.

Debate Is Cut Off
The first Of these amendments pro

against which Mr.. Aldrich made his first

The effect of the point of order was IL

Of the expression seemed to incense the

Lace Dressing Net Unhealthy.

Lace dressing has ben considered necessarily unhealthfui occupation on account of the intense heat required to be maintained in the room. In some cases the temperature exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit and much moisture is eyaporated from the wet fabric. The evidence brought forth at a recent investigation in England, however, shows it to be an exception ally heaithful pursuit. New hands are often temporarily upset at the begin ming by the high temperature, but no cases could be found where health had broken down. On the contrary. some ailments-colds, for instance were found less prevalent among face dressers than among the workers in other branches of the industry. Time keepers books showed few absences from illness. No special tendency toward lung diseases could be found, notwithstanding that most of the workers lived in poor and insanitary localities and held irregular lives. Many lace dressers now enjoy yigor- ous old age after doing this work from childhood

HARD LIFE OF A wAsHEawoMAss.
Net Very Gay When She Supported
 Sick Husband on e1.5o Day.

A New York man took a notion to interview his washerwoman about the cost of living. She earns $1.50 day and supports a sick husband The man reports results in the American Magazine
 Our washerwoman dreads Sundays and holidays" he says. ITO her such days mean no pay. She was glad to come and wash for us on the Fourth of July"
 "All summer she worked every Sun day in a hotel-from noon until II o'clock at night. In two years she has not had day of what we call fun--no theatergoing, no trip to Coney Island.
 "She seldom has company at her home in the evening. And she is glad of it. She Is busy. and company takes up time Besides, she meets people and talks with them while she is at her work.
 Nov about clothing. In all. only e1l.50 has been laid out in money in . year for clothing for both the hus. band and the wife. By far the greater part of the clothing they have givea to them by employers and others.
 The wife has no relatives or near friends in this country. The husband has TO relatives or friends who could give him . dollar if he needed It. So I asked the wife how much money she ever has in hand at any one time. She replied that for two or three years she has never had mors than s1s at any one time."

 GIVEN GREAT TRIAL
Che Hundred Acres in Sulphur Springs District Are Now
 Being Planted

James Brophy, pioneer of the Sui- phur Springs district, resident of Lowell and would be farmer, pro- poses to make the supreme test CT the Sulphur Springs district in dry farming. Beginning the first of next week, MT Brophy will plant one hun dred acres in the Sulphur district in sorghum, miilet, Kafir corn, milet. maize and beans.
 To Mr. Brophy, the work is signifi- cant of just one thing-it will conclus- lively settle the question as to whether Or not the dry farming process in the territory is success or failure. The experimental ground lies thir- teen miles east of Bisbee and fifteen miles north of Douglas.
 It is exceptionally heavy ado5e land, considered the best in the ter ritory for dry farming purposes. After having finished the contract Of grai- ing the new railroad from Douglas fo Courtland. Mr. Brophy transferred the teams to his new farm and had 1t all ploughed to a depth of ten inches.
 This is the first extensive dry farming experiment in this section of the country and will be watched wItn undue interest by the farming ele- ment in particular.
