David tells me that there was strong
fight of woodcocks last night. You

Then we chatted about alder-cover
and swamp until Pierpont came out of
the house and it was time to part.
EAU revoir," said Barris, buckling
on his kit; come along, Pierpont, and
don't walk in the damp grass"
'If you are not back by tomorrow

and David and hunt you up. You say
your course is due north?"

There is trail for two miles and
a spotted lead for two more" said
Pierpont.
(Which we won't use for various
reasons" added Barris pleasantly;
don't worry, Roy. and keep your con-
founded expedition out of the way;
there's no danger"
He knew, of course, what he was
talking about and 1 held my peace.
When the tip end Of Plerpont's

alone with Hewlett. He bore my gaze

We spoke of the murder of Prof. La

Drummond's request, of the certainty
who had done it, and of the possible
alertness of the gang.

Barris; "but they don't know that the

that this wonderfully beautiful country

Its like those splendid stretches

"Exactly-and heaven alone knows

She Was a Real Orator.

Senator Beveridge during recent
visit to Portland talked about oratory.
1.-THE campaign" he said, has given
us oratory more remarkable for guam
tity than quality. True oratory Is that
which brings results, is that which
converts an audience Of supporters.
Such oratory is rare.
II have a friend whose wife, 'suf-
fragette,' is great orator. Her
speeches from the platform are won

day gave me an illustration Of the
efficiency of her private speeches.

NOTE HAD PERSONAL FLAVOR.
Directions Considerably Astonished
Good Man In Pulpit.

The minister had Just finished a lit
tie opening talk to the children, pre-
paratory to the morning service, when
Mrs. Berkeley suddenly realized, with
all the agony of careful housewife,
that she had forgotten to turn the gas
off from the oven In which she had
left a nicely-cooked roast, all ready
for the final relocating. Visions of a
ruined dinner and a smoky kitchen
reused her to immediate effort, and,
borrowing a pencil from the young
man in front, she scrubbed a note.
Just then her husband, an usher in
the church, passed her pew. With a
murmured Hurry" she thrust the
note into his hand, and he, with an
understanding nod, turned, passed up
the aisle, and handed the note to the
minister. Mrs. Berkeley saw the act

she saw the minister smilingly open

expression of dismay was fully equaled
by the look OF amaEement and wrath
on the good mans face as he read the
words: GO home and turn on the
gas!"-Lippincott's.

GLENN CURTISS TRYING TO BEAT
 WEIGHTS RECORD
Special from United Press.) ]


 Mineola, L. l.. July 16-Glenn H. Curtiss who is trying to beat the aero plane record held by the Wright broth CTS, made two ascents in his aeroplane over the Hempstead Plains near here early to-day. The first time he re- mafned in the air twelve minutes and came down for breakfast. The second time he stayed up thirty-one minutes and declared he could have remained in the air an indefinite period.
 The aviator made his first flight shortly after five o'clock when it was still foggy and an eight mile wind was blowing. He was soon lost in the fog and after circling the grounds a few times he came to earth in the same place that he started from. He de- clared that his engine was at all times under perfect control and that he had simply wanted to try it out.
 After he had eaten his breakfast and the fog had lifted, Curtiss rose again A crowd had collected by this time and when Curtiss' machine rose evenly from the ground he was cheered.4 He kept the aeroplane within the course and described circles and the figure eight several times. When he had re- mained in the air more than twenty minutes. his former record, the crowd cheered wildly and he waved at the people below. Then he circled a few more times and came easily to the ground.

Bridgeport Drummers
 Beat In Contests
Take Three Prizes In Con
 tests at Poughkeepsie.

bers of the American Graphophone Drum Corps of this city, entered in
 the contests at Poughkeepsie, N., F., and three yesterday captured prizes.
 The local corps did not expect to take any prize for number, as they are small compared to some of the corps New York can put out. What they lack in quantity they make up in quality. Corps make a special of en- tering in contests. and have never come back to Bridgeport without a prize. Robert Donahue, who conducts a saloon at 99 State street and who entertained the corps at supper, Wednesday evening, received a tele- gram from Tom Jones, an employe of the Adams Express Co.,, informing him that he had captured the first prize for bass drumming, and that two other members of the corps had also cap tured firstS.

DENSMElR HELD
 ON TWO COUNTS
Bonds of Man Who Fooled Pawnbrokers Fixed at
 $500

James Densmeir, the fake diamond operator, who succeeded in getting $SO from Nathan Glasner, the pawn | broker and $40 from Graves loan of | flee. was bound over to the next term ! Of the Superior court this morning by
 Judge Foster. The bonds were fixed
 at $z50 for each of two counts. MT. Graves testified that Densmeir on Thursday. June "A, and told a story of having been in a spree for several days, and as he needed mon ey he would like SIS on a ring which $40 and departed. promising to re- turn in a few days and redeem it. Four days passed and Densmeir did not return. Mir. Graves found the ring practically worthless.
 Attorney Greenstein, who appeared for the defendant, asked for contina- ance this morning on the ground that the date in the complaint had been changed from June 2S, to June A. Witnesses had come from New York to prove that Densmeir was in that city on June 26, the date originally given in the complaint as the day on which Densmeir pawned the ring at Graves loan office.
 The court decided that the whole case should be heard today. Attorney Greenstein argued that one of the es- sential clements of false pretences as defined in law was lacking. The law clearly states that in a case where one has to depend entirely on the state ment of the person intending to de- fraud, the charge of false pretence may be set up. but in this case the pawn brokers were careful to disregard the statements of the accused and made a minute examination of the rings and depended on their own judgment.
 Judge Foster found probable cause and bound the accused over to the Su- perior court under bonds of $500. He furnished bonds and immediately de- parted for New York

ASKS COURT TO
 BIND HIM OVER
Roberts, Charged with Swindling, Makes Unusual
 Request in City Court.
DELANEY ON BOTH SIDES

An unusual request was made this
 morning in the city court when Will liam Roberts, charged with obtaining
 money under false pretences. asked
 Judge Foster to bind him over to the
 next term of the Superior court. His request Twas granted. but not until
 the demands of legal procedure were conphed with. Prosecuting Attor-
 ney Delaney was in charge of the sbut also as attorney for the defen- idant, as he was directed by Judge Foster to draw up demurrer to the
 charge, which was signed by the pris-
 promptly overruled and probable cause found. Roberts being bound over to the Superior court under bonds of $1,- eco. Roberts claimed that he had not had tine to secure an attorney, all though he has been in jail since his sarrest June 26. His case had been continued four times previous to this mornings trial; he was first heard on ?, and to-day his case was disposed Of for all time as far as the city court Is concerned.
 He seemed rather familiar with legal methods. but in being bound over to the higher court without an examina- tion. he has failed to get whatever the State contentious may be. Had he se- cured an attorney all this would have been brought out, and a defence pre- pared for the later trial. Judge Foster warned him that whatever he might gay in regard to the charge against him between now and the time of his trial would be used against him. He thanked the court and was taken to the County jail for the rest of the summer.
