YET WILL MAKE HIS
 MACHINE FLY

Riker. of the Iocomobile Co.,, who tested it. declared that it was 75 horse power. If MT. Beach buys it after two weeks I shall build another one as intend to keep going on my own hook until I succeed
 This is the second engine Beach has got away from me. The first was a 20U horsepower cylinder motor. He agreements had to make with him in order tc keep going. This engine he put in boat called the Sea Otter owned by William Cnaki of this city. It was a light. engine for a flying ma chine and Beach put it to such a severe test that he spoiled it. The second engine he got by throwing me in jail. I was told he could keep me there until September and what could I do. I let him have the engine for two weeks. I wanted to go on with my work
 ''One of the reasons I took MT. Beach on was that I thought he would help me by giving me an occasional notice in the Scientific American Beach kept publishing from time to time that he had a flying machine in the works, but there wass never word about Whitehead who was doing the work, My former partner. the late Prof. Her man Iinde, who went, mad before he died recently in Denver, treated me the same way when it came to the matter of publicity It was always
 
 Whitehead was mentioned in connec- ton with it he would fly into a rage. i"When I started to make flying ma chimes 15 years ago everyone thought I was crazy but the recent achieve ments of the Wright Bros. prove that I had the right ideas about the matter. But the Wrights had to go to Europe before this country could see them. 1 made four flights of a half mile each in 1901 at Fairfield, but I could not get publicity enough at the time to attract the attention of anyone with capital. Those four flights were made with a 30 horsepower engine weighing 450 pounds. The machine I have built for the 75 horsepower engine taken by MT. Beach is the largest flying machine in the world. I am going to make it fly"
 MT Whitehead has a number of photographs of his machines in the air. Some show a passenger aboard The pictures are by amateurs, but show that the inventor has done more toward the development of his ma chimes than the public has given him credit for doing.
 The letter he received to-day from President Burridge is as follows:
 May 27, 1909. MT. Gustav Whitehead,
 Bridgeport, Conn.
 Dear Sir
 We understand that you have built a very light and efficient motor in which MT. 5. Y. Beach has some ln- tereSt.
 Assuming that we can get MT. Reach's consent we would like to know what arrang gementS we could make with you to have this motor sent to Morris Park for the use of members We are in great need of a good motor for the several machines that are being built by members and hope you will consider this offer carefully and let us hear from you as soon as possible thereby obliging-
 Yours very truly.
 The Aeronautic Society,"
 l.. s. Burridge.

LEOPOLD TO RESIGN THE THRONE OF
 BELGIUM

AGED MONARCH SELLING ALI
 HIS PRECIOUS TREASURES, IN
 DICATTNG HIS INTENTION TO N ABDTCATE IN FAVOR OF
 NEPHEW, PRINCE ALBERT.
 Brussels, May 2s-Leading polite ians are today convinced that the thoroughness with which King Leopold is selling his personal belongings in dicates the aged monarch's intention shortly to abdicate in favor of his nephew, Prince Albert, son of Leo pold's younger brother, the late Prince Philippe. The popular surmise is that the King suspects that there may be some question whether he holds the property he is dfsposing of in his pri- vate and personal capacity or as an official of Belgium in which latter case he would be compelled to turn it over to his successor.
 Not only are the pictures in His Majesty's private gallery being clear ed out to the last one but all his Egyptian antiques presented to him in 1854 by the Khedive Ismail, the prec- ious stones and jewels given him as decorations. and the portrait of his wife, Queen Marie Henrietta, either have been sold or are now for sale. Leopold, who is "A years old, will make his home in Paris, after resigning the throne, 1t is understood.

FALSE BOTTOMS
 SMUGGLING TRICK

New York, May 29.-Collector of Gus toms Loeb is now sure he has discov- cred the method by which large amounts of dutiab1e goods are brought into this country by society women. The collector today repeated his order to the inspectors to carefully examine trunks for false bottoms. This fol- lows the discovery yesterday of about $2,500 worth of Frepch gowns, furs and jewelry in a false bottom in the trunk of Mrs. Chesborough. wife of a veal thy ship owner. Early this week MT. Loeb received word that great sums of duty are avoided by European tour ists by means of false bottoms in trunks and immediately issued orders to customs inspectors to watch for the fake trays.
 The collector is we'll satisfied with the bearing out of his theory and he expects to put a stop to that method of smuggling entirely within a short time. Inspectors will now make spec ia1 tests of all steamer trunks in search of false bottoms and false sides.

WIFE PROSTRATED
 HENDERSON TRAGEDY

Paris. May 29.-An inquest will be held today over the body of Joseph Henderson of Jersey City who last night shot and killed his daughter and then turned the gun on himself. It is believed he was mentally unSound, having suffered from neurasthenia for some time. By odd coincidence the tragedy took place in a restaurant called the "Pere TranquiP' or tranquil father. The bodies of Henderson and his daughter will be taken to Switzer- land for burial
 Mrs. Henderson. who with her other two daughters, Olga and Gladys, were in the eHrestaurant when the tragedy oc- cured, is prostrated. She is under the care of physicians, in a. a.nearby hospital, it having. been impossible to remove her to her home.
 The murder mania developed by the father was wholly unexpected so far as the official investigation has dis closed. Henderson was a man of wealth and divided his time between America and the European continent.

twice what I am paying now. The board of health says that 3S per cent.
 tion and urges public collection of ashes as a remedy. Should the re- maining 62 per cent who keep their premises clean be submitted to the payment of more taxes because the Board of Health throws up it's hands and says that it cannot keep the yards in Q sanitary condition. My yard Is cleaner than 1t would be if ashes were carried through it two or three times a week. My ash boxes are lined with zinc to prevent their taking fire if the tenants should put hot ashes in them and the lids are fastened with
 good hinges, and kept closed. I think that the majority of the small home owners keep their property as tidy as do. I invite the board of Health to
 bring their bateriologist over to the East Side and run his microscope over the interior of my ash box.
 ''The man who empties my ashes carts coal when he is not carting ash es, or when he is not teaming for the city. There are a large number of other teamsters in the city who do the same thing To let general ash col lecting contract would drive a large number of these Independent carters out of business.
 People who buy building lots where the ground is low would be deprived of making an arrangement with these teamSters for 'filF which they can now
 buy cheap. With one contractor. in
 control of the, ash collection he would have a corner on a. very valuable com modity and those who wanted to fill in a piece of ground would have to pay the price he demanded.
 Anyone who has lived in a city where the municipality collects the ashes and has seen the ash cans placed on the curb every morning knows of the uptidy condition of the streets be- cause of the daily disturbance to say nothing of the dust and dirt that blows when the ash cans are emptied. h. stead of the front of a house being untidy two or three times a year as is now the case the Street is filtered up every day.
 make the drivers for contractor keep the covers their carts when even now there are carts going through the street filled with ashes, and. the dust blowing in every direction in violation of the city ordinance? (Ask the street sweepersO The board of health can't enforce the ordinances already enacted and still it has been to the legislature for more power. With live officials in the department it ought to be able to make everyone have proper ash boxes, and prevent the carting of ashes in uncovered carts. The boards of health of the past have been used to saddle worthless crematories upon the city and let us hope that this one will not be a party to starting lot of talk about public collection of ashes in ord CT to hand someone a fat contract at the expense of the taxpayers. The electric light company had friends at court when it handed the city the lemon contract the merchants are just waking up to- Has some contractor got friends at court in the board of health?"

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION

Take two quarts of compact mullein leaves picked from stalks that have never lowered. Place these in a stew pan and put enough water on them to just cover them we'll Let them sim mer, not boil, until the strength is all out of the leaves. Strain this juice add a cup of brown sugar and simmer again until a Sirup is formed; then add a pint of Jamaica rum. Take a table spoonful of this sirup three times a day, or. if thought better, take a less quantity whenever obliged to cough.
 The above remedy has been tested and found Invaluable in many cases.

 reer.''-W. w. Porter.
 A good story is told by Main St., business man of well dressed, come ly woman coming into his place of business one day recently, and seating herself comfortably, calmly announe- ed "she was going to faint.' He hur- riedly prepared a stimulant. which he noticed. she readily swallowed without the slightest difficulty and soon her danger @ was over. She was profuse in her thanks as she left the store. without disclosing her identity. Judge of his surprise, a few days later, when. the same woman again entered. and taking her accustomed seat, cool1y in- formed him. she "kpew she was going to faint @sOh. no;'' he quickly answer ed. you don't have any more feint faints here, so move on." Needless to say she moved, and the chances are that other drug stores may come to know her. It seems incredible that any woman could so degrade herself as to resort to such practices to grat- ify her appetite for stimulants, but the experiences of many of our mer-s chants in this line would prove a startling chapter could they be re- corded.
