Stony Point, n. Y, Oct. "A mon
ment to the madness of Mad An
tnony," the Revolutionary general
who led a successful attack against
apparently hopeless o6ds, on Great
Britain's Stony Point Gibraltar, $50
years ago, was dedicated here today as
one of the opening vents Of the Up
State HudSon-F'ultOn celebration.
The monument, a great memorial
arch built Of rOught stones, over which
Wayne led his Colonial troops, stands
one a commanding eninence OF the
rugged promontory where the battle
occurred. The site is now a State
park. The arch is the gift Of the
Daughters of the Revolution.
Governor Hughes, the principal
speaker today, said in part:
w celebrate today the madness
that makes histories and empires, the
madness that has given us the Amerl-
can Republic and will aus it to en-
dure: the madness that must permeate
the American people and rescue them
from the pitfalls of their oEerWhe1m-
ing prosperity.
"On his spot occurred one Of those
rare exploits in which strategy ana
bravery reached their highest level
Of attainment. No finer exhibition
of ~unflinching courage and Of supreme
devotion 10 the cause of liberty has
been given to the world.

such as this il We regard them as the

tion is here today brought face to
face again with it's obligations and its
privileges. AS q nation, we are try
ing to work out before the world the
great new problems of institutions
recognized equally before the law.
Let US go forth resolved to win as
Wayne wOn-effacing self and fear

go forth resolved that in our day and

Burglars Enter Office of the
Sheriff and Register of Deeds
Entrance Gained Through Window
in Sheriff'S Onice-DraWerS Prized
Open, But No Money Was Secured
No Clue as to the Guilty Party.

One of the 5oldest attempts at rob-
berry ever known in this city was COM
mitted late Friday night, When thieves
entered the Wake county court house.
Entrance was gained through a win
dow in the sheriff's office, in the north
side of the building next to the post
office. The window, which was not
locked, was priced open, affording
an easy entrance. From one Of the
count drawers the thief or thieves
tool q chisel and priced the money
drawer open, tearing it to pieces in
the effort; but the drawer contained
neither money nor anything else Of
value. Nothing else in the office was
disturbed or tempered with.
The robbers then proceeded to en-
Ter the office of the Register of Deeds
in the same manner that they enter
ed the sheriff's otfice-thrOugh a win
dow. Two unlocked drawer OF the
desk were opened, but they contained
nothing of Value.
AS yet the officers AVE no clue as
to the identity of the guilty party, or

There were three cases tried in the
court yesterday, and at midday a re-
cess was taken until Monday morning
at 10 o'clock, Judge Allen going to
his home in GoIdsboro to spend sun
day. During the day the report of
the grand jury was received by the
court.
Their Should Be a Trial.
Set for trial on Friday OF the past
week was the ease on appeal from the
Police Court Of the notorious Bertha
Brown, a red light character of Raj
eigh, who openly haunts herself in
opposition to the law. But Friday
has passed and the Bertha Brown case
has not been called for trial. Delay
at the present time is what best suits
the purpose of the woman, and there
is the open question as to whether
or not she will be tried at this term.
There should be no delay n no
putting off in this case, as being out
under bond Bertha Brown continues
as a menace to the morals Of this city.
That she should be permitted to have
her way in Raleigh unchecked while
great crowds gather during Fair
week is just cause for indignation
among the best citizens Of this town.
The court should not adjourn until
this woman is tried. and there be

The cases disposed Of yesterday
were

with selling whiskey. He was found
not guilty in one case and IN the
other two the State took a nolle PROSE-.
Tom Horton plead guilty 10 the
charge of cruelty to animals. and
Judgment was reserved.
Ralph Mial, first indicted for en-
bezzIement, and later for false pre-
tence. was found guilty on the latter
charge and was sentenced to the
roads for twelve months In a second
case judgment was suspended.

w and all other records for high
flying. He reached the unprecedented
height OF more than sixteen hundred
Feet, although an official measurement
was not taken.
He had a red letter day in a double
sense in his experience as an aviator,
taking up Crown Prince Frederick
Williams as a passenger and more
than doubling the altitude record,
which he made recently over the same
field.
The Crown Prince had been con
Stantly urging Wright since he first
saw the American fly, to take him up
as a passenger. Wright eVaded this
responsibility while making flights at
the course, owing to the unfavorabie
winds, but since the beginning of the
present series of flights, the prince
had been telephoning the aviator every
morning, asking him if he was ready
TO crafty his request. Wright finally
consented today.
The prince reached the field at 4:3O
IN the afternoon without his adiutant.
After drawing II his overcOat at
Wright'S suggestion to save his uni
form from being despatched with oil,
the prince took his seat alongside the
aviator and the machine rose in the
air, Wright kept it at a height of
about twenty feet for a brief period,
but the crown prince exclaimed:
Higher, higher Finally the aviator
went up about sixty feet and the
crowds heartily cheered the prince,
Who waved back his acknoWledg ment.
The ~aeroplane g1ided back to the
starting point ten minute later.
The crown prince congratulated Mr..
Wright on the easy and safe motion
of the aeroplane, presented him with
a souvenir Of the occasion, q iamOn
and ruby pin, composing the letter
w. and crown. He watched the dar-
ing aviator make his high flight.
When he returned to the earth
Wright, speaking of his marvellous
flight, said:

All Hope OF Saving Lives OF
Men On Submarine Gone

Sevastopol, June 13.-All hope Of
saving the lives Of the crew Of the
Russian submarine Kambala, which
was sunk in collision with the battle
ship Rostislav during maneuvers Fri
day night, or Of recovering the wreck,
is gone, owing to the great depth OF
water. Two divers have died in the
attempts to rescue the men on &C
count Of the immense pressure. Others
have tried repeatedly and heroically
to pass chains around the wreck, but
finally came to the surface utterly
exhausted, having accomplished moth
ing. All operations have been abandon
ed.
The chances of saving the lives OF
the imprisoned men were recognized
from the first as very remote, although,
under normal conditions, the sub
marines have an air capacity Of three
days. The Kambala type Of submarine,
however, is weak structurally and FOR
this reason cannot normally make q
descent of more than 100 feet.
The Kanbala went down in 15(
feet of water, and only untrustworthy
bulkheads stood between the men anc
death after the boat was struck by The
Rostislav's ram.
