LIFE SKETCH Of
AMERICA MOST
DARING AVIATOR
Glenn II. Curtiss Was Member
of First AerOnautical
Association
Captured Gordon Bennett Prize
at Rheims, France, August
70, 1909

NEW YORK, May 29.-Glenn H. Cur
tiss. like all the other successful avia-
tors. is young man. being only 80
years old. He was born at Hammonds-
port, N. Y, and became interested in
aeroplanes through the construction Of
gas engines. AS boy he sold news
papers.
From making motors for bicycles it
was an easy step to try the construc-
ton of light gasoline motors for flying
purposes. His little shop at Ham
ymondsport became the headquarters for
aeronautieal students and aerial flight
received it's first impetus, next to that
given by the Wrights, when DR.. Alex
ander Graham Bell in November 1907,
organized his Aeronautical Experiment
association with Curtiss as one of it's
six members.
Meanwhile Curtiss had been learning
lot about flying and the making Of
light, compact motors. 1t was his motor
that was used in the Silver Dart, which
made such sensation by its long
flights at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, in the
early winter of 1904. The young avia-
tor won his first big Iaurels by cap
turing the Gordon Bennett international
aviation trophy at Rheims, France,
August 2S, 1909, by covering the pre-
scribed distances. twice around the
course, 12.42 miles, in 16 minutes and
50A seconds, beating his closest COM
petitor, Bleriot. by 3-5 seconds.
Since that time Curtiss has done
nothing of particular note up to today 3
flight to add to his fame, his appearance
at Governors island during the Hudson
Fulton celebration last October being a
disappointment. In the meet at Los
Angeles in January he was distanced
in all the leading events by Paulhan,

quickness of starting

PARIS OPERA EXPENSES
WERE 4,1O7, ,436 FRANCS
More Than Million Dollars
Spent by Board

At the general meeting of the opera
house board in Paris a report was pre-
sented which showed among others
these figures: The expenses for the
season were 4.107, 436 francs. The cost
of each of the regular performances
was 20,25S francs and the extra per-
formances about $4,000 francs each
There were evenings, however. when
the expenses ran much higher. Thus
it took 10000 francs to pay for the
new Faust" decorations, and those for
"Monna Wanna" exceeded $4,000 francs,
while the extra stage cost of "Gotter-
dammerung" was S2,500 francs.

Although the many beautiful f1lmy

where, says the Garden. they could

delicate, refined beauty would not fail

Colonel Wm. R. Stuart.

Colonel VIM. R. Stuart, of Bluefeld,
died at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
W. R. Dawson, in that city on last
Thursday morning at o'clock, in his
seventy-frst year. His end was very
sudden, he having been i'll only two
days.
Colonel Stuart was born at New Hope.
Augusta county, Va, and while still a
boy his parents moved to Lewisburg,
Greenbrisr county, now a part of West
Virginia. In 1890 he moved to Rich
lands in this county where he lived for
several years, moving from there to
Bluefeld, W. Va, where he resided un-
til his death. He was one of the family
of Stuart's that helped make Virginia
famous, and relative of Hon. A H.
Stuart, who was member of President
Zachary Taylor's cabinet.
Colonel Stuart was a gallant cavalry
man in the Confederate army. He en-
listed at the age of twenty one in the
Fourteenth Virginia Cavalry, and was
soon promoted to adjutant and after
wards to major. This regiment was
one of the brigade that did valiant SER
vice under General Rosser.
During one period of the war Colonel
Stuart was detached to the infantry
service and served as an aide to General
Patten. After the war ended he lived
for a time in Baltimore, where he
served as Lieutenant Colonel of the
Seventh Maryland regiment and where
he got the title by which he was famili-
arly known.
Colonel Stuart was a splendid speci-
men of a rapidly vanishing type-an old
Virginia gentleman. Courteous and
kindly in his intercourse with his fellow
men he was beloved by all with whom
he came in contact.
The funeral took place last Friday
afternoon from the Bland Street Metho-
dist church, where the Masonic ritual
was followed. The Knights Templar
and Confederate veterans attended in a
body. He was laid for his endless rest
beside his wife in the Maple Park ceme-
terry in his home city.
He is survived by four children-Ed-
ward, of Whitewood, Va; ]. Price,
Mrs. w. r. Dawson and Miss Lucy, of
Bluefeld. Two sisters and three broth
ers also survive him. They are: Mrs.
Edmond Sehon, of Huntington; Mrs. T.
P. Bowen, of this place; DR.. F. T Stu
art, of Huntington; A. B. Stuart, of
Richlands, w Va, and Judge ]. H. Stu

Rev. 7. S. Hamilton, pastor of Grace
street Methodist church in Bluefield
says he is seriously considering the IS p
aration of the men and the women who
wear large hats in his church. He feels
that to certain extent the falling off in
attendance on the part of the men is
due to the fact that the women wear
such large hats that men are unable to
listen to the sermon with interest. Mr..
Hamilton says such a procedure would
not be unusual, and cited instances
where churches are now conducted with
the men on one side of the edifice while
the women sit on the other. He said
he would have taken the stand some
time ago, but on account of the winter
season felt that perhaps it would be
better to wait until the cold weather
was over
