EIecting Members Supreme Court.

Next year there is to be an inter of elections said a prominent attorney
 'The terms of Justice Denson and Jus tice Anderson expire and their success sors will hold for the full term of six years. Chief Justice Dowdell, who was raised to the chief justiceship by appoint ment, Chief Justice Tyson having re- signed, must stand for election for the tice Sayre, appointed for the four years unexpired term of Justice Dowdell to whose place he was appointed, must stand for reelection. The law Is that where a vacancy for an elective office occurs within six months or longer of the time of a regular election the vacancy must be filled by an election for the unex- pired portion of the term.
 Thus far there is only one announced candidate for one of the full terms the positions held by Judges Denson and Anderson-that of MT. Orville M. Som merville, whose candidacy was announced few days ago. It is not probable that Chief Justice Dowdell or Justice Sayre will have opposition as their elections will probably follow by confirmation and courtesy from the bar of Alabama.
 "A friend of Judge Thorington, who recently resigned as dean of the law school of the University of Alabama to take up the duties of one of the mas ters in the matter of keeping an ac- counting for the federal court in the railroad regulating cases, is authority for the authorized statement that Judge Thorington will not be a candidate at the next election for the supreme bench. tue contrary"

UNIQUE NATURAL MONUMENT
by Presidents Proclamation Freaks
in stone Perpetuate an Army
0hicer's Memory.

President Roosevelt has. just issued a
proclamation creating the Wheeler national
monument i'm Colorado TO commemorate the
name Of a brave army officer. and to save
from vandalism a marvellous collection of
nature freaks situated IL 900 feet in the air
In Colorado, almost at the crest Of the
continental divide. 1t isn't every army Of
ficer whose memory is kept fresh by a
monument two miles in7ihe air by eXecu-
tive proclamation. Few ot them are blessed
with such lasting fame as will be passed
down TO posterlty with The name Of Cap
tain George NJ. Wheeler, corps Of engineers.
for there are few such %6nderlands on the
continent as is included in the 800 acres
taken by the presidents order.
Canyons and plnnacles. peaks and buttes,
caves and figures strangely resembling men
and beasts, are scattered over the area in
the greatest profusion and make a never
firing museum for the tourist. All the for
nations were cut by the action Of the
water on soft stone and. softer earth, and
the work OF erosion Is still going on, Cap
tain Wheeler was one Of .Iherfirst engineer
officers to visit that region, and between
the years 1869 and 1878 he tTaversed the
territory very thoroughly and made a greai

AIRSHIP TO CROSS THE OCEAN
Prospective stunt with Giant war
Craft that VIII Garry
Hundred Men.

An aerial warship 700 feet over all and
80 feet beam. able to carry 100 men and an
armament of guns and ammunition. and
food and fuel enough for a trip across the
Atlantic. Is to be built at once in the Nixon
yards at an estimated cost Of 100000 by
the Aerial Navigation Company OF Amer
lea, now in process OF organization in New
York, according to Mr.. Pennington-"Air-
ship" Pennington. as Mr.. Lewis Nixon calls
him.
This may look something like military
domination OF the air, but there Is another
aerial weapon under way that may make
Il useless. 1t is the discovery Of Mark An
thony and is nothing less than a dirigible
air torpedo, steered and controlled by wire
less electricity for a distance OF from ten
to twenty miles.
Mr.. Anthony is an electrical engineer OF
this city, who began to study and expert
ment with the wireless control of airshipe
three years ago.
He has discovered. he says, that an air
ship can be controlled perfectly by wire
less electricity, and his system has now
been perfected to a point where a balloon
twenty-five feet long, with a capacity for
500 cubic feet of gas, Is moved about
through the air entirely at the will OF the
operator, who remains on the ground and
merely manipulates an electrical keyboard.
So positive are the inventor and his
friends that a great discovery has been
made that they are now having a large
balloon built and are arranging to give
official tests before government officials
at Washington.
Mr.. Anthony and several witnesses de-
clare he has demonstrated a perfect con-
troll OF the balloon at a distance OF more
than ten miles, and that with the balloon
100 feet in the air, near Newark, he has
placed his wireless apparatus on the top of
a skyscraper in Manhattan and for nearly
an hour caused the balloon to perform all
sorts of evolutlons as easily as II a man
we're actually sitting in the frame and
guiding its movements.
Concerning the aerial warship to be con-
structed in his yards Mr.. Lewis Nixon
said:
THE ship will cost something more than
100000 When completed it will probably
weigh 40 tons. 1t has been most carefully
thought out in every detail by Mr.. Pen.
nington-'Airship' Pennington.
We have been working every day on
the design for the ship. l have been asked
to act as consulting engineer.

NOTED AND NAMELESs TRAMP
CbRlks "a No. I" on Guide Posts
and Cars as He Hikes or
Rides Along.

A clean-cut, wide-awake, athletic-looking
man something more than 10 years old
was sitting one day in the private office of
the late A. j. Cassatt. the great railroad
president, talking to him easily and passing
jokes. The clerks all marveled that Mr..
Csssatt had so much time to spend In mere
visiting, but still he paid no heed to the
chief clerk who was nervously changing

"A tramp answered the chief clerk with
out taking his Eyes off the clock.
The filing clerk gasped. but he nearly
tainted a moment later when the president
cordially bade the vigorous, wide-awake
man goodbye. But the railroad official
did not call him by name-no one does that.
The tramp is the most celebrated one in
the world, and is on intimate terms with
more railroad presidents than most of us
ever saw. He is a railroad wanderer. cele-
