AIRsHIP CAUGHT FIRE.
But Aviator Reached Ground before

lHUNIIIHt NUTIHVttUs
BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
BLACKPOOL, Aug. S.-A. " Roes, a
newcomer in the field of English
aviation is nothing daunted to-day
after his thrilling experience on the
local aviation field last evening when
his tri-plane, a machine of his own
design. caught fire while he was flying
az a great height.
Roes pointed his machine TO the
earth and at a speed that threatened
every moment to overturn the aero
plane he reached the ground just be-
fore the machine collapsed. The
planes were completely burned away
and had the aviator been fifty feet
higher when the flames broke out. he
would probably have been dashed to
death.

THOMAS c. PLAT.
Death of Once Notable Fig
ure in National Politics
Sketch Of His Career.

Thomas Collier Plat. formerly
United States Senator from New
York and for many years a Ma
tional figure in Republican, poll
ties, died at his home in New
York Sunday Of chronic and
acute Brigh-'s disease. The re-
mains were inferred yesterday at
Owego. \. Y. the birthplace of
| the deceased. The following
sketch OF MS career is given in
dispatch OF the 9th from New
York:
Thomas Collier Platt, the easy
boss Of earlier and brighter days,
was for many years no- only the
leading Republican of his State,
but figure in national politics
shoulder to shoulder with men of
such rank and reputation as the
late Mathew Stanley Quay of
Pennsylvania.
Both were men Of exceptional
intellectual attainments, and both
turned them. with signal success
to party organization. Quay died
still a power: Platt outlived his
time and felt himself in late
years out Of touch with the NOV
ing spirit of everts.
| Twice n lis HE Pa ---c-as IT,
center Of the national stage
once when he resigned With Ros-
coe Conkhng from the United
=, States Senate ard was ins tantly
nicknamed Me Too Platt, and
once when he induced Theodore
Roosevelt to run for Vice Presi-
dent with Mckinley, very much
against Rooseyelt's better judg.
ment and III the face Of his re-
peated declarations that nothing
could induce him to accept the
nomination. There could not be
a better instance of Platt's skill
in persuasion and manipulation
| or of the irony that Knocked his
ripest wisdom. Mckinley was
shot, Roosevelt became President
; and the days of Platt's dominion
in the State lapsed into senility.
His bodily strength declined rap
|: idly. He made a second mar
riage which ended in the courts
and he Was sued by Mae Wood,
: formerly a clerk in government
employ, for a divorce, on the
, strength of a third marriage new
, er proved to have taken place.
Plat was first elected to the
Senate in 1881. He and his col
league Conkling became embroil-
ed with President Garfield in a
bitter controversy over appoint
ments. Finding themselves in a
hopeless deadlock Platt and Conk-
ling both resigned.
In 1897 he was elected a second
! time to the United States Senate.
succeeding David B. Hill.
Platt was born in Owego. TO-
, ga county, New York. on July Is.
1888. of Puritan ancestry. He
entered Yale College with the
| class of 1849 but left in the mid
. die of his junior year because of
|, ill health. A brief apprentice at
! literature was succeeded by more
congenial employment in bust
ness.

LESSON FOR SOUTH AMBoY.

With a little girl burned to death
and a boy with his eye blown out, 1t
would seem as IL South Amboy
might begin to give some considera-
ton to the safe and sane" idea of
a Fourth of July celebration. LIE
our sister city across the river take
a tjp from Perth Amboy. Hundreds
of her citizens doubtless saw the
good time we all had over here on
he Fourth. South Amboy a do
1t. too. The ~irecracker, the toy pis-
Aol and children playing with
Matches is passing in this country.
kErom all sections we heal of the
Improvement in the celebra-
ton of the Fourth this year, where
the .'safe and sane" style has been
adopted. Perth Amboy is delighted
with her first experience and there
Is every reason to believe that the
celebration will be repeated again
next year. It would seem that South
Amboy ought to have had enough
with her experience this year. If
no change is made in the celebra-
tfon whose little ones will be the
victims next Year, Who wants a
daughter burned to death, or a son
with his eye blown out?

PLACES OF RECREATION.

The plan of Alderman-at-Large
William D. Voorhees, for a place OF
recreation at the foot of High street
is an excellent one. 1t should meet
with hearty approval by the people
of the city. Tho beauties and at
t~factiyeness of our harbor have long
been neglected. High street makes
an ideal spot, easily reached from
all sections and the plans as out
lined at the council meeting Tuesday
night provide for ample room for a
park of suitable size for a water
front view. 1t is to be hoped that
nothing will happen to prevent the
scheme being carried out. The city
badly needs such a recreation place
along the water. The High street
Improvement should not be the only
one.
In this connection, what has be-
come of the plan advanced last year
to put the Market street hill, be-
tween Water and Front streets, In
condition? There was some talk of
having the hill, which is too steep
for vehicles to travel, terraced and
seats provided for the accommoda-
ton of the people who wanted to
ried out along with the High street
If the High street improve
can be done for $4,000, the
street park would probably
cost not more than $500, and it I
nlgn' y Vacation Nnpe~A
8 81 the hill is most
unsightly, being used as a dump
heap. 1t reflects no credit for the
city to have 1T in the condition 1t is.
Their lis nothing the people of
Perth Amboy need more at this
time than places of recreation.
Small parks distributed throughout
the city are most to be desired. The
High street and the Market street
sites make excellent beginnings.
The ultimate outcome will be one
large~central park to complete the
System. The poor farm suggestion
and the old Eagleswood water works
are in line for this. 1t is gratifying
to know that the aldermen are
aware of the necessity of such i'm
proyements and that some definite
steps are being taken along this line
