Altitude Record in Little Wright
Roadster.

New York, Nov. ii. Armstrong
Drexel, the Pittsburg millionaire avi-
ator, resigned in a huff today from
the Aero Club of America because Of
the alleged partiality shown by its
officials to American aviators in the
recent Belmont Park meet. Drexel
is piQued because the committee de-
cided not to give the Englishman.
Claude Graham-White an attempt to
fly to the statute of liberty and re-
turn in competition for the Ryan ten
thousand dollar prize which was won
by Moissant. 1t Is understood other
aviators stand with Drexel, and that
other designations may follow. White
tried to make flight once but gale
prevented him. Personally he is un-
popular, but it is felt that he has not
been accorded Justice.

A "baby" Wright roadster. with
Ralph Johnstone at the wheel. glided
gracefully to earth in the twilight In
the close of the meet at Belmont
Park last evening with the barograph
registering a new worlds record for

35 horsepower. had been UP s714 feet,

Awaking this morning to find his
bedfellow dead was the unpleasant
experience Of Mike LOTUS. a laborer.
who has been employed in digging
the tunnel through Horseshoe curve
at Coe. The dead man is Frank
Fahey, also a laborer. who has been
employed at the same place. Lotus
and Jack Gleason. another laborer
and companion Of the dead man. were
arrested this morning and are being
held as witnesses for the coroner's In
quest to be held at o'clock this
evening.
It was first thought that another
murder mystery had appeared. but
that SNOW was the cause Of death 10
now the opinion held by several Of
those who have followed the Develop
ments in the somewhat mysterious
case. "Snow" is the dope fiend's
name for morphine.
Money Made 10 Spend.
In company with his two compan-
IONS Fahey came to Pendleton from
Coe yesterday morning They were
each possessed Of a limited amount
of money and apparently they wers
also each possessed with q desire to
spend 1t. Fahey spent a part OF his
money for a pair Of shoes and to-
bacco and then proceeded to spend
the remainder for near beer and 9TH
er obtainable beverages. according to
the testimony Of witnesses Along In
the afternoon they were heard to re-
mark that they were going to buy
some SNOW" The witness says he
did not know what "snow" Ia. but ac-
cording to DR.. Waffle It 10 the name
applied to morphine by users of the
drug.
According to Ole Oleson, proprietor
of the Queen Chop and Roomine
house. the three men came to tiil
place about 8 O'Clock last evening. Al
that time Fahey was 20 far under
the influence Of liquor or something
else that ne had to be helped to his
room. When Oleson left the room
tho three men were together.
This morning LOTUS came down
and greeted the proprietor Of the
place with the statement, you've go'
a stiff UP there" An investigation
revealed the dead body Of Fahey In
the bed with his clo,Ses on. The or
ficers were Immediately notified. Cor

son into custody.
Not Dope F1end.
Apparently Fahey was not usel
of morphine and the opinion seems tc
prevail that being unused to the drue
he undertook to consume as much al
his companions, who probably wer'
accustomed to its use with the result
that the combination Of near beer and
morphine was too much for him.
The dead man was unmarried ant

The Order Pleased the Cook.

The following story is told on mis- sionary of the China inland mission, a bachelor keeping house for himself in the southern part of China: One morn ing in ordering his dinner he wished to tell his cook to buy a chicken. h. stead of saying ''ye" for chicken he aspirated the word, saying, Buy me a 'che'" His cook thought that was an eminently proper command and went about his marketing in high good hu- nor. At noon the missionary found no chicken cooked-in fact, no dinner at all, for his cook had not returned. About dark the man came back, say ing: ""This was not good day for buy ing wives, and I have been all day looking for one, but at last I found one for you. She is rather old and not pretty, but you can have her cheap. l have nromised $40 for her.

Romance of an Inkstain.

Pens and furniture used in the sign ing of famous treaties and documents recall Archibald Forbes experience after Sedan. After witnessing Napo- Icons interview with Bismarck at a wayside cottage and his subsequent surrender Forbes and a fellow war correspondent slept at the chateau which the fallen emperor had occupied the night before. The bedroom was just as Napoleon had left it and by the bed the open book with which he had read himself to sleep. It was Lytton's Hast of the Barons." Sitting at the adjoining writing table, Forbes wrote his dispatch, while his companion gnaWed at a ham bone, their sole re- mainder of food. Irate at the little eating it furnished, he flung it across the room and upset the inkstand into which Forbes was dipping. When Forbes revisited the chateau a month or so later the inkstain was pointed out as caused by NapoleOn's rage on learning the German terms of peace!- London Chronicle.

A Short Lived Newspaper.

The first newspaper ever published in America never got beyond its first issue. It was called Publick Occur rences and appeared in Boston Sept. 25, 1690. It contained a promise to publish in it's next issue the names of all the liars in Boston, and the author ities, taking cogniZance of the threat, wisely forbade the publication. The Boston News Letter was the first jour- nal to be regularly published on this continent. It was started in 1704 and was followed by the American Weekly Mercury in Philadelphia in 1719. Eng fish journalism is only thirty-five years older that American journalism, the London Gazette, an official publication, having been founded in 16G5.-San Francisco Argonaut.

FEAR OF CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
NOW HANGS OVER ROME
Several Suspicious Cases Have Been
Detected Since Wholesale Ex-
odus From Naples.


ROME. Sept. 2S.-Fear of a cholera
epidemic In Rome became acute TO.
day. A number of those who have
fed to Rome from Naples, where the
disease Is widespread, are being held
here for observation.
Most Of the thousands who have
left Naples are women and children
and of the wellto-do class. Several
suspicious cases OF sickness have de-
veloped since their arrival in RorIc
and should they be diagnosed as chol
era, the city will quarantine against
the Naples district.
The government today sent warn
Ing to the Naples authorities to guard
her ports against all emigration and
to exercise still more rigid quaran
tine of the infected parts OF the city
II Is probable that several regiments
Of soldiers will have to go TO the as
sistance of the Naples authorities, az
the latter have said they were wholly
unable to cope with the situation.
Few vessels are now stopping al
Naples. and travel into the city by
rail has been practically abandoned.
Officially there have been but eight
new cases and four deaths In Naples
In the last "a hours. and one death
In Apulia. Private advices, however
say that new cases are developing al
the rate of 100 a day, and that there
have been rs deaths since Sunday
Secret burials are being ordered FOL
scores OF those dying OF the disease
while at the same time the authors
ties do not announce that the deaths
were from cholera.
