TEDDY SEES AEROplAsE FLY
AVIATOR HAS MARROW ESCAPE
FROM INJURY.
Elaborate Fetes at Versailles Given
For Last Day In
Paris.

Paris, April 27.-FOr the first time
In his life ex-President Roosevelt saw
an aeroplane fight. It was very
short one, and the aeronaut, Emile
Dubonnet, had narrow escape from
injury. Colonel Roosevelt journeyed
to Issy les Moulineaux as the guest
of the Academy of Sports. There a
large crowd had gathered, including
cabinet ministers and noted aviators.
Unfortunately strong wind was
blowing, and 1t seems as though the
promised flight would have to be aban.
doned. Not wishing to disappoint Col.
onel Roosevelt, Dubonnet volunteered
to go up in the face of the gale. He
had recently made a sensational flight
over the city of Paris, and it was
thought if any one could give a good
account of himself, that one was Du-
bonnet.
The ex-president was deeply inter-
ested in every detail of the start and
he pressed forward as the machine
left the ground. It was evident, how
ever, that this was no day for flying
and the aeroplane had hardly gone $50
yards when 1t came down with a
swoop almost capsizing as 1t struck
the ground. One of the wings was
broken, but Dubonnet was not hurt.
Colonel Roosevelt rushed forward
and offered him his hearty congratula-
lions. The aeroplane sheds were then
visited, and Count de Lambert and
Hart o. Berge, European managers for
the Wrights, explained the operation
Of the Wright machine. Count de
Lambert planned to make flight. but
the wind had increased 10 such vio-
lence that that was found impossible.
Prior to his return to Paris. NJ. de
Villeneuve Of the Academy of Sports
presented to Colonel Roosevelt as
honorary president, a gold medal.
For Third Place Conference.
During the course of the afternoon
Mr.. Roosevelt received deputation
from the French parliamentary group
for International arbitration. headed by
former Premier Leon Bourgeois and
Baron d'Estournelles de Constant.
The latter in addressing the ex-presi-
dent, said he counted upon Mr.. Roose-
velt's influence in the holding of
third peace conference at The Hague.
After a visit to the Luxembourg gal
lery in the morning Mr.. Roosevelt
was conducted to the famous revolu-
tionary prison in the wing of the
Palais de Justice known as the Con-
ciergerie, where he inspected the dun
geons, among others that in which
Marie Antoinette was confined prior
to her execution.
Ambassador and Mrs. Bacon gave a
dinner of % covers in honor of Col
onel and Mrs. Roosevelt.
The last day in Paris of the Roose.
welt party included visit to Vincen.
mes, where under the direction of Gen.
eral Dalstein, the Paris garrison was
put through series of evolutions. In
the afternoon there was an excursion
to Versailles where fetes had been
arranged, and in the evening Colonel
Roosevelt was the guest at dinner
at the ministry of foreign relations.

GOLDEN RIDGE.

Well, Northern Star is back after a

disappointed to not find any Golden

an almost impossible affair to the fam

Golden Wedding Celebrated.

capt Rucker was thirty-eight years
old when he married his second wife and
she lived long enough to celebrate her
golden wedding with him in this city in
1900. This circumstance in itself gives
vivid notion of the great period of time
covered by the life of the old soldier.
Nearly all the material things which are
regarded as making up what is called
modern civilization have come into ex-
istence since Gen. Rucker was grown to
manhood Railroads. steamboats, the
electric telegraph, the telephone, the
sewing machine. submarine boats, airships
and flying machines were as yet un-
dreamed of when he was boy The
age OF mechanical invention indeed
which has produced such countless mar
wells, had scarcely begun when he was
commissioned an officer in the army
The lapse of time since his birth is most
wildly realized when it is considered
that Cen Rucker lived in every presi-
dental administration since the govern
1nent began, save only three-those of
Washington, Adams and jefferson. He
was born only thirteen years after the
death of the first President, and among
his friends and acauaintances were many
people who knew George Washington.

he would not accept the money which the
company declared he was entitled to un-
der his policy. And so far as known he
that attitude to the end.
Kit Carson. the great Indian scout, was
with Rucker on one OF his expeditions
against the Indians. In fact, the scout
and the soldier shared the same tent, and
the stories of Carson which the general
stored up for future recital were full
of the interest Of frontier warfare in the
early days. Rucker thrashed the Utes
in several fights and then they came in
and said they would be good Indians.
Never on Sick List.
In all the years of the active service
of Daniel H. Rucker his name did not
appear once on the sick report. The army
was to his liking. and It's fresh air and
its freedom for long period from the
restraint of any walls save those of his
tent gave him the vigor and the strength
of body to live nearly twenty-eight years
beyond the Psalmist's allotted limit of
three score years and ten.
The records show that he was the old
est man that had ever been in the mill
tary service of the United States.

rank of captain in that service. He
served against the Indians in the west
and southwest. and in the Mexican and
civil wars. He commanded a squadron
of cavalry at the battle of Buena Vista.

gallant and meritorous services in
that engagement. In September, 1861,
he was appointed brigadier general of
United States Volunteers. was brevitted
major general of volunteers and was
repeatedly commended for faithful and
meritorious services during the civil war.
In August, 1S49 he was transferred to
the quarternaster's department, and in
1882 he was made quartermaster general
with the rank of brigadier general. In
the same year, after having given forty
years of his life to the army of his
country and being more than sixty-two
years old. Gen. Rucker. at his own re-
quest, was transferred to the retired
list. Since then he made his home at
1924 Jefferson place in this city. Though
away from the active work of a gov
eminent branch with which he was
connected for many years he contin-
ued TO take a deep interest in every
thing pertaining to the army.

heing left widower. Capt. Rucker as
he was then, took a second wife, who

Resented the Company's Action.

Yes, they admitted the general had the
appearance of being alive. His presence
in the Office was good evidence in support
of such a theory. But in technical
business sense he was dead. They did
their best to show him that from q life
insurance viewpoint he had passed away
and that the policy on his life had to be
paid. They told the general that they
would pay the money to any one he would
designate and expressed regret that he
had been annoyed or inconvenienced in
any way by the simple execution of one
OF their standing rules. The general posi-
lively declined to be considered even
