CAREER OF MRS. R. H. SAVAGE
Distinguished Authors Widow, Who
Was We'll Known az q Lecturer.


Was Well Known az q Lecturer.
Mrs. Richard Henry Savage, widow
Of the celebrated author and soldier
and herself well known as lecturer
and critic, who recently died In her
home at New York, was the daughter
of a court chamberlain In Potsdam,
Germany, and an intimate Of many of
the present royal heads Of Europe.
She was Josephine Soluble, daughter
Of Charles Soluble one of the "kitch-
en- cabinet" of the father of the pres
ent emperor Of Germany. When the
present emperor was born Mrs. Saw
age, then Miss Soluble, was a mature
young woman, and she delighted In
carrying the young prince around in
her arms. At the time of her death
Mrs. Savage was sixty-seven years old.
For the last thirty years she had
been identified with movements for
womans rights. Five yeS-s ago she
added lecturing to her other occupa-
lions, having already gained note as
a writer. She belonged to the Eclec-
tic, Sorosis, Entertainment and other
women's clubs.
Mrs. Savage had had a remarkably
interesting career. At the age of six
teen she was married In Germany to
Gustave Soluble, n cousin, and several
years before the civil war the young
couple came to America to look after
cotton plantations in which they were
Jointly interested The husband died
shortly afterward in this country, and
the young widow became a great ia
vorite in Washington society.
In 1873 Mrs. Soluble married Rich
ard Henry Savage, young army Of
ficer, who, after his retirement with
the rank of major, entered upon brill
liant literary career. He volunteered
at the outbreak of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and received a commission as

Savage then continued her husbands
work in the literary field.
In her life in the capital and the
large cities of the United States ard
Europe Mrs. Savage met many of the
distinguished persons of her time. All
the presidents since Lincoln, Prince
Bismarck, Count Tolstoy, Victor Hugo
and others more or less distinguished
were her friends.

We can do little tipping and have an
aerial lark ourselves-or at least we
can If the Wright brothers do not en-
join us.
The Wright brothers are the ones
who did the trick. We can abuse
them all we want to now, call them
dogs in the manger and get peevish
on account of their lawsuits and In
functions, but we are bound to admit
that they are the original aeroplane
boys. Langley and Chanute worked
practical. The Wright brothers by
the use Of flexible tips to assure equili-

possible that they were then planning
to take out these very patents which
are now causing so many grouches
among other aviators. Until they had
perfected their machine and had the
patents safe In their inside pockets
they were not going to let anybody
else steal their ideas. The chief item
of their patent was the flexible tips
which are used to keep their craft on
IN even keel. Any one who has watch

and tip his wings to maintain his eQui-
librium. That Is Just what the Wright

Of these planes downward tips the

the natural movement for him to

gets speed. 1t would take rather
husky bird to fly from Albany to New
York In one forenoon or to go from
New York to Philadelphia and back in
one day, yet the aeroplane manages
both with seeming ease.
Abandonment of the Balloon.
For a century or more the aeronauts
confined their attentions to the balloon,
finally perfecting the dirigible. which
reached its highest standard under
Santos Dumont In France and Count
Zeppelin in Germany. The aeroplane
Is an American invention. Since its
advent the balloon, dirigible or other
wise, has become a back number. The
gas bag, which rises on the same prin-
ciple as does a bubble in water, may
be all right for county fairs. but for
real air travel it Is out OF 1t, passe and
a has-been.
The mechanical arrangement OF the
aeroplane is simplicity itself For ex-
ample, take the machine used by Glenn
II. Curtiss in his fight from Albany to
New York, a distance Of 80 miles.
The same principles are involved In
this as In the Wright biplane, as EVIL
denced by the suit of the Wright
brothers against Curtiss for infringe
ment of patent. The two sustaining
planes Of the Curtiss machine are
thirty feet from tip to tip and four
feet apart. The seat Of the operator
and the engine are situated between
these planes, the screw propeller being
just behind the engine. The steering
wheel is Immediately in front Of the
operator and controls both the eleva-
ton planes. which are ahead, and the
steering rudder in the rear. The eleva-
ton planes are controlled by back

mobile. The equilibrium planes are at
the ends Of the main sustaining planes
and are controlled by a movement OF

A Few Aeroplane Thrillers.

Since the first public exhibition by
marked advance and accomplished
many thrilling feats. In France VIII
bur Wright had the kings and nota-
bles Of the world his eager spectators.
Afterward Orville Wright at Fort Myer
fulfilled all the government require
ments, making a straightaway flight
to Alexandria and return without
alighting, also breaking the record by
remaining In the air with a passenger
for more than an hour. Later In Ger
many Orville repeated the triumphs OF
Wilbur in France, making at one time
q 1000 foot ascension, the highest up
to that time. Another notable aero
plane feat by the Wright brothers was
Wilburs circling Of the statue of Lib
erty and Grants tomb during the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration in New York.
OF late the Wrights have settled
down to manufacturing and training
operators. They never did fly in prize
contests. Their whole purpose now is
to protect their patents and perfect the
aeroplane as a commercial proposition.
Their dropping Of the thrill making
line has not been followed by other
aviators, however. Count that month
lost that does not break some aviation
record. Louis Bleriot's feat OF cross
ing the English channel was afterward
beaten by another Frenchman, who
went over In shorter time, and this in
turn was cast in the shade by the Eng
lishman Rolls, who, in a Wright BIZ
plane, crossed the channel and back
without alighting. Louis Paulhan has
made some of the most wonderful Of
all the flights recorded, going from
London to Manchester. a distance Of
1856 miles, covering 1T miles without

After starting the motor the opera

meantime hanging on to the machine
until given the word to let go. Then
lhe aeroplane starts forward on its
three wheels until It gains sufficient
momentum to take the air. By pulling
the steering wheel toward him the
operator lifts the elevation planes, the
machine shoots upward, and the Jour
ney is begun. After that 1t is a mat
ter of guiding. finding the proper ele-
walton and keeping an even keel. When
ready to alight the operator chooses
his landing, which must be an open
level field, shuts off his engine, turns
his elevation planes downward and
goes earthward with q swlftness which
takes the breath Of the groundlings
below. At the proper distance from
terra flrma he elevates his planes
sharply, which serves both to check
the motion and break the descent. The
result is that he glides forward and
lights as gently as bird.

Charles X. Hamilton In a Curtiss bi-
plane recently did some surprising
stunts. Cutting figure Fights In the
air were among his most commonplace
performances. One of his most dare
devil feats was stopping his engine at
a great height and dropping to the
earth. When 1t seemed that he would
be dashed to certain death he would
start his engine again, elevate his
planes and glide away. He would also

Business of Correspondence School

Commerce by Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The business OF
a correspondence school with pupils In
various states is interstate commerce. such
was the opinion of the supreme court OF
the United States announced today by JUS
tice Harlan in the case of the International
Text Book company of Scranton Pa
against A. r. Plgg of Topeka, Kan.
In the same case the court declared un-
constitutional section 1888 of the laws OF
Kansas, requiring corporations seeking 10
do business in the state to file prescribed
certificate with the state official and upon
failure to do so close the doors of the state
courts to them.
The International Text Book company
employed an agent to solicit students IN
Kansas to take correspondence courses in
its school in Pennsylvania, Pigg executed
a contract in 1905 in Topeka, Kan, to take
such a course, but subsequently failed TO
pay all the tuition required.
When the suit was brought against Pigg
the answer made was that the company
was a foreign corporation for profit and
that 1t was transacting business in Kansas
without having complied with the REQUIRE
ments of the state of Kansas of such cor
porations
Justice Harlan, in the opinion of the
court held that "in our judgment in It's
essential character there was commerce
among the states within the meaning OF
the constitution"
He held the section of the statute inter
fered with interstate commerce.

Men and women interested in altruistic
phases of human endeavor had opportunity

prominent workers and speakers were to be

That working women of the country and
immigrant women coming in are in greater

is the view of Rev. Charles Stelzle, super
intendent of the Presbyterian department
of church and labor in his address at the
Young Mems Christian association Tues

ingmen and Their Conditions"

words, the speaker set forth the most dis

II appears in the great cities of the coun-
try.
THE problem Of the future is the city,"
declared Mr.. Stelzle. From the scene Of
their oppression in Russia and through the
various stages OF their Journey to America,
Mr. Stelzle, with his pictures and narra-
tive traced the course of the Russian inn
migrants. These, he said, formed the great
est horde of any one nationality seeking
the shores of the United States as a haven.

finding life scarcely better. IL at all, than
what they left behind. He spoke of unsan-
tary tenements, grinding poverty and the

children are forced to take a part as fig
uring dsastrously in the condition of i'm
