Harmon Flies Over
Long Island Sound.

New York, Aug. 21.-Clifford b. Har-
mon In flight of 26 miles late Satur-
day afternoon from the aviation field
at Mineola, over Long Island sound to
Greenwich, CT, won the amateur
championship of the United States as
a long distance aviator and at the
same time won the Doubleday cup for
a flight by an amateur acros the
sound. He made the trip in just 30
minutes.
Harmon landed on the estate of his
fatherinlaw, Commodore f c. Bene-
dict, and although he injured the
chains of his machine in alighting, he
was unhurt. He alighted in some tall
pines that fouled the skids and wheels
and broke the frame support, or chas-
sis. on which the biplane rests.
That was as much as was learned at
Mineoula after his arrival there ex-
cept that Mrs. Harmon, who had been
anxiously watching for her husband
after she had seen him alight, rushed
to the Spot-about mile from the
hOuse--in an automobile and after a
fond greeting whisked him to the Ben
edict home, where the daring amateur
was warmly greeted.

PAYING THE ROYAL BILLS.
How Accounts of British Ruler Are
Kept and Discharged

When King George came to preside at
| Marlborough House his Majesty imme-
| dately gave his attention to systematic
| ing the keeping of the numerous ac-
! counts of the royal establishment A
clerical department was formed consist
ing of three clerks under the control of
| the Treasurer. Sir William Darlington
Gockets of goods bought for the kitchens,
storekeepers' and buffers departments
| had to be made out by the head of each
department. who was responsible for the
orders which were sent up to the clerk S
office.
Each tradesman who has the royal
custom must send in his bill at the end
of the month, when it is compared with
his ledger account and if it Is found to
be correct is discharged during the first
week of the month No discount is asked
for off any of the royal accounts; a
tradesman who receives the royal Gus
tom is informed that he must supply
goods at the lowest reasonable prices and
there is never any attempt at bargaining
by the official of the royal household.
All the servants wages are paid
monthly the upper servants, holding i'm
portant and responsible positions, are
paid by check, which is sent to each
from the Treasurers Department; the
other servants attend at the clerks office
to receive their wages. The Kings ac-
counts for clothes, cigars. theater
tickets, newspapers. books and other per-
sonal articles are sent in to his secretary
and are not dealt with at all in the cleri-
cal department
every month, but King George always
likes to see them before they are paid
it was once a rule that they should be
initiated by His Majesty before being dis
charged, but this is not done now. Roy
altieS very rarely buy anything for cash
over the counter. though King George
has done so on more than one occasion.
Samples of goods which royalties may
desire to buy are in the ordinary way

LAUNCHING Today
Of Torpedo Boat Destroyer
Drayton at Bath.
Miss Emma Gadsden Dfayton

Boat Is Sister TO the Paulding,
Launched April IL.

Bath Me, Aug 2l-The second

afternoon at l 80, when the Bath Iron
Works VIII send overheard the new
torpedo boat destroyer Drayton, a sis
ter ship to the Paulding. launched
April II, and which is to be given her
official tests next week, beginning
Tuesday, to see if she will meet her
contract speed requirements of 20 5
knots an hour.
The Drayton is practically ready for
her speed trials which will follow
those of the Paulding. The craft is
named for Commodore PerciVal Dray-
ton, who was at the time of his death
chief of the bureau of navigation.
His niece. Miss Emma Gadsden,
Drayton OF Washington, the youngest
daughter OF the late Gen. Thomas Fen
wick DraytOn Of Charleston. S. G.. is to
perform the christening, using cham
pagne. The bottle will be incased in a
silver frame and appropriately marked,
that it may be retained by the sponsor
The Drayton and the Paulding are
burning craft and it is expected
they will prove naval greyhounds, as
did their predecessors, the coal-burn-
ing destroyers Flusser and the Reid,
built by the same concern year ago.
In their final trials off the Florida
coast last spring the latter reeled off
nearly Sc knots an hour, thus making
| them the fastest naval vessels in the
world not designed especially for
speed.
The overall length Of the Drayton is
293 feet, 1912 inches, and between per
pendiculars $50 feet The extreme
beam is 2G feet AZ inches and the mean
trial displacement 742 tons, while the
trial draft is feet 4 inches.
She will carry a battery of five three
| inch 14-pOunderS) semi automatic guns
| three fivemetrp hy 45 centimetre torpe-
do tubes on deck ana two 50-caliber au-
| tomato guns.
| The machinery consists of a three
shaft turbine installation in one com
partment, capable of developing 10 000-
! shaft horsepower at Il steam pressure
of 240 pounds The center shaft will be
operated by the high pressure turbine,
while the low pressure and cruising
turbines will be fitted on each Of the
side shafts
There are four water tube boilers of
a total CRATE surface of PAT square feet
and a total heating surface OF 16,177
square feet, Tanks with an oil capacity
of $4,000 gallons take the place of the
coal bunkers of the Fmsser and Reid
| The hull of the craft is extremely
| thin, composed of both mild and hard
| steel. the latter owing to its tensile
strength, being used for the principal
fore and after strength members. The
plating carries from p. inch to 3-16 inch
| in thickness.
The craft win carry four officers, and
| they will be quartered in the fore
castle, while the crew of IS men will be

SONS OF PREACHERS.
Facts Show Most of Them Prove Sue
cessful in Life.

A French scientist has made an in
vestigation to show that ministers
sons make up a disproportionately
large number of the men in all con-
spicuous callings. BY study of the
statistics and by an even cursory OBJ
servation, we can easily see how strik-
ingly true it is, especially in our own
country and Great Britain, ana, at
the same time. how inaccurate and
inexcusable the fiippant disparagement
of preachers sons one often hears.
One glance at the men in public life
proves the contention true. The three
most eminent instances to-day are
Gov. Hughes of New York, Gov. Har-
mon of Ohio, and eXGoV. Fold OF
Missouri, while the late Justice Brew
er, whose place on the United States
Supreme bench Mr. Hughes has been
chosen to fill, was son of missionary
and borns in Syria. 1t is no trouble
to call up scores of them, kho"hhs
that they will be only a small part OF
the total list. . There are Senator Doi-
liver, Mr.. Norton, secretary OF fresi-
dent Taft: Mornay Williams, ollle
James. Levi p Morton-but the mum
Der is too large to write down
Three members of the Asquith MN
;strv are ministers sons-David Lloyd

1t is not difficult to find the reason"
