Richmon, Va, June 15.-The new
automobile law passed during the
last session of the state legislature
OF Virginia went into effect today
and the clerks in the secretary of
state office were overwhelmed with
applications for license from auto
mobile and motorcycle owners and
operators in all parts of the state
The law is similar to the new auto
law of Maryland and much more
strict than the former law. Autos,
under the new law must be register
ed annually and the fees are graded
according to the indicated horsepow-
er of the machines. The law contains
unusually strict provisions in regard
to speed limits, operating machines
on the public highways, ETC., and
permits appeals to the circuit court
of the county in which an arrest for
violating the law was made.

100000 People Watch Help
less Aeronaut in New
York.

New York, June 15.-Frank Ow-
ems, an aeronaut, had wild ride
yesterday when he attempted to
pilot a huge dirigible balloon over
New York in a half gale. Owen lost
control of the dirigible and was at
the mercy Of the wind, which dash
ed the balloon and car against var
ious buildings. One hundred thous-
and people watched the mans fight
for life. He landed finally in tan
gle of wires in Brooklyn and escaped
serious injury.
Owens left Belleville, N. j., and
passed over Jersey City en- route to
New York. He crossed above sky
scrapers and sailing low, grazed the
roofs of the tall buildings. The aero
naut reached Park Row in safety
and then circled the flagstaff on the
city hall.
When he stopped his engines and
attempted to make landing Owens
lost control of the dirigible, which
became a winds plaything and ran
away. The gas bag bobbed up
quickly and crashed into chimney
on the city hall. This destroyed the
machinery of the dirigible. Owens
leaped into the netting and tied the
rip cord" so that the balloon would
not become torn and lose its gas.
The wind carried the balloon on
flight across Park Row. 1t mar
rowly escaped hitting the World
building and Brooklyn bridge
tower. Owens meanwhile hung help
lessly to the netting of the car.
Finally the dirigible rose and was
carried across the East river to
Brooklyn, where it landed in cleo
trio wires.

Mckinley and the Spanish War.

While discussing the naval appro-
priation bill in the senate, Senator
Heyburn said the people did not
want wars, but were usually COM
pelled by their rulers to submit to
them, says the Observation-Disclosures
Senator Depew said such was not
true in the case of this country's
war with Spain. President McKin-
ley, he said, was opposed to the war
Il know of m yown knowledge, -
said the New York senator, that
Spain was prepared to abandon Cuba
and Porto Rico to prevent humil1a-
ton if she could be assured in adj
vance of the acceptance of the pro-
position"
James Boyle, private secretary to
Mckinley when Mckinley was gov
ernor CT Ohio, supports Senator De-
pew's view by reference to negotia-
tions looking toward settlement of
the controversy between the two
countries, and adds that war would
not have occurred but for the hot
heads in congress and the yellow
press" Moreover, Boyle credits Nc
Kinley with saying that failure to
prevent the war was 1.-The greatest
sorrow of his life"
William Mckinley was man OF
peace and h emo doubt believed fol
som etime that differences between
the United States and Spain could
be peacefully composed. No doubt
he died believing hat they ought te
have been settled without resort te
arms. But what he had believed te
be possible and right in this matter
was not to be.
Public sentiment had become in
famed. Everywhere in the natior
could be seen evidences of a grow

How to Treat Thorn Before Laying on

How to Treat Thorn Before Laying on
the Coat of Paint.
Knots and sappy places in boards
are hard to cover with paint so that
it will stay for any length of time,
says Popular Mechanics. 1t has al
ways been a problem with painters to
efectually treat such places before lay

Is to cover them with one or two coats
Of shellac and sometimes apply alu.
minimum leaf. but this is not sufficient.
especially II they are in a position
where the rays Of the sun will fall
upon them.
The only way to kill bad knots and
sappy places Is to draw out as much
sap as possible before covering them
up with paint This can be done with
a gasoline torch such as Is used by
painters and electricians. Hold the
torch with the fame striking the knot
or sappy place until the wood sur

the outside surface around the edge Of
the knot to transfer the charcoal mark

out on the marks. thus making hole

on the wood so 1t will cover all the
