cAsslus NJ. CLAY CENTENARY

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Oct. 19.-Today
marks the centenary of the birth of
Cassius II. Clay, politician, diplomat,
abolitionist and journalist, and in
many respects one of Kentucky's most
distinguished sons. The fact that Mr..
Clay has been dead but few years
he died in 1904-at the age of 81
makes 1t somewhat difficult to realize
that he was born one hundred years
ago.
Mr.. Clay was born in Madison coun-
ty, this state, Oct. 10, 1910, and after
graduating from Yale engaged in the
practice of law. Between 1885 and
1910 he was three times elected to the
Kentucky legislature, but was rejected
by his constituents in 1S41 on account
of his strong anti-slavery opinions. In
lS45 he established in Lexington an
anti-slavery paper, which, after being
suppressed by mob, was revived and
republished in Cincinnati. Mr.. Clay
supported Lincoln in 1860, and was ap.
pointed the following year as minister
to Russia. On his return in 1862 he
was made major-general of volunteers
He was again appointed to Russia in
1863, and remained there as minister
until 1863. The latter years of his life
were spent at his home at White Hall
near Richmond XIV

yesterday east of Cape Hatteras, he
insisted that sky voyage to Europe
was feasible.
Three causes contributed to tho
failure of the expedition. In the firs'
place the equilibrator proved hin.
drance as it dragged In the rough sea
and jerked the airship in manner
that threatened to wreck it. Further.
more the dirigible leaked gas to such
an extent that it was found necessary
to throw overheard nearly the whole
supply of gasoline to tighten its bur.
den and keep the dirigible 9float. This
made it impossible to drive the airship
to Europe or even to return TO Ameri
ca. Then one of the engines broke

OF the dirigibe. Driven helpless, al

could not have been kept above the
surface of the sea much lc..ger. and
it was drifting directly toward the
storm that was raging on the south

that Wellman decided to give up the
voyage and call for aid

Steamer Wonder
Of the World

BELFAST. Oct. 19.-An ocean
steamer that will rank among the won
ders of the world is to be launched to.
morrow at the yards of Harland and
Wolff, in this city. The steamship is
the Olympic and close by is her sis.
ter ship, the Titantic, which will also
soon be ready to take her initial
plunge in the deep.
While nothing seems to be impossi-
hle with shipbuilders, there are many
bold enough to prophesy that, so far
as size is concerned, these steamers
are the last word in the building OF
merchant ships. They are being built
for the Oceanic Steam Navigation com
pany, more widely known as the White
Star line, and will ply between Liv-
erpool and New York.
The new vessels will have a dis.
placement of $4,000 tons They are
to be $50 feet long, with beam of
80 feet, and the boat deck will be
more than 60 feet above the water
In both tonnage and size they will
surpass the Mauretania and Lusitania,
although they are not expected to do
50 in speed. The lines of the new
ships are not designed for great speed
u knots being the average aimed at
as against the % of the giant Gu
narders. An immense amount of space
which in fast boats is devoted to ma
chinery, will thus he saved for cabin
accommodation. The carrying capac-
ity of the Olympic and Titanic will ex.
ceed that of any ships afloat today by
at least one-third. Each ship will car.
ry, under normal conditions, more
than 5000 persons all told.
