them. Wherever the restless Anglo.
Saxon dominates the love Of sport is
dominant The Americans are ut

this virlle race, and nowhere is The
love Of sport SO much exhibited as Ii
this country. Our people are patrons
Of horse racing, Of baseball. or golf, OF
football, Of all out OF door sports as ne

sportsmen. but not to the extent that
Americans are, for the reason that the
opportunities are greater here.-Nash-

best means, it was decided. would be

being upset any moment by the long
equilibrator of the balloon-a string

links from the America.
Airship Lifeboat Launched.
after careful preparations the life
boat was lowered and launched. While
the launching was under way, how.
ever, the brisk wind caused the equili
brator to sway violently and to strike

were lowering themselves. They were
not seriously injured. The equilibrator
at one time swung against the frail
lifeboat of canvass and mahogany ve-
| neer violently enough to knock a hole
in the side of the lifeboat. The hole
| was too small to cause serious trouble.
Upon being free of the weight of
the crew the airship Immediately shot
| skyward as the lifeboat was taking the
water. The sea that was running at
the time was moderate and the aero
nauts had very little difficulty in
reaching the Trent and boarding the

William H. Berry. the Keystone
Party nominee for governor, has up to
date failed to reply to the charge that
he made deal with liquor men and
representatives of liquor interests s,
both prior to and at the Allentown
convention. to win the support of sa-
loonkeepers and others affiliated with
the liquor traffic in his effort to win
the Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
tion.

Of certain delegates in the Democratic
convention, Mr.. Berry has made no

The charge Is now made that during
the gathering of Democrats at Harris.
burg, when the date for the state con,
vention was being determined upon,
Mr.. Berry met representatives of the
Lackawanna county Democracy. who
are largely interested In the whisky
and brewery business, and gave them
such assurances that he was promised
the votes of the delegates to the Dem.
ocratic state convention.
When the Lackawanna delegation
reached Allentown they wanted di
rect interview with Mr.. Berry. and
they were closeted with him In a room
on the Hotel Allen for some time. Then
and there Berry assured them that II
he was elected governor he would do
nothing to further the cause of local
option and they could depend upon
him to be absolutely neutral
So satisfactory were the guarantees
given them by Mr. Berry that every
man In the delegation when the roll
was called in the Democratic conven-
tion voted for William H, Berry.
Liquor Men For Berry.

saloonkeepers and one collector for a
