AN UNLUCKY AERONAUT.

A little incident which, thanks to
Is not wholly depressing, in spite Of
Its tragic side, is quoted by Alfred E..
Pease from letter of his Quaker
great-grandfather Edward Pease. AS
an illustration of the old gentleman S
caution of expression and description,
as we'll as his sensitiveness as regards
responsibility, the extract is worth
preserving. 1t deals with a balloon
ascension.
1t is to ascend from my small field
next to my garden, SO that you could
have seen it very nicely, and the gen.
tleman who goes up with it.
I did not much like to let him
have my field for the purpose, and
told him must have time to consider
of it, before I could give him leave,
neck, and then I should be ready to
consider some of the blame would
rest on me. He said he had been up
one hundred and fourteen times, and
did not fear
I wished him to look for another
place, and would give him half a
sovereign to have nothing to do with
it. AS he could pitch no other spot,
and finding it would be a great disap-
pointment to him and the townspeo-
pie, reluctantly gave him leave, tell
ing him 1 would not take any pay for
the use of the field, and should he
be killed by falling from very great
height, as a gentleman at Newcastle
once did, would be clear of it.
The gentleman l have Just named
was to hold down the balloon until
it was ready to be let off, and being
busy cracking nuts, he tied the string 6
round his arm, so when it went up
he was entangled in the string, and
when so high as to be almost out of
sight his arm got loose, and he
dropped down, feet foremost, into a
garden, but fell with so much force
he sunk to the knees in the earth and
was quite dead.

THE showing on our recent swim

then we must expect such a result at
first. Captain Brown. of the sixth
Precinct; Secretary Cox. of the Police
Board, and Patrolman Gafney, of the
First Precinct. have given me able
support in this.
Sergeant STICKY then gave a list
of possible events to be decided at the
coming meet.
Half mile and mile walks" he said,

well rs dashes for men weighing 22O
pounds and over, and a 100-yard run
for men who have been fifteen years
or more in the service. BY dividing
the events into classes we will increase
the interest in the games, for 1t VIII
give all a chance, young and DID.
think the broad jump and hop, skip
and jump are good features, but we
will probably have to cut out the high
lump and pole vault. From what
have observed I don't think we would
make a very good showing in these
events, therefore it is just as well to
have them eliminated.
"A tug-of-war and relay races be-
tween the different precinct would also
prove interesting. l would also ike
to introduce wrestling and boxing, but
that can wait until we get the regular
field events going"

DECREASE
IN UNITED STATES.
Census Bureau States 1909
Rate Lowest Ever.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S.-The death
rate in the United States in 1909 was
fifteen in each 1000, according to a bull
Ietin about to be issued by the Census
Bureau, and this is the lowest average
ever recorded for this country. The
figures cover only the cities and States
having laws requiring the registration
of deaths, and these represent an esti-
mated total population of As, 1888, or
55.3 per cent. of the estimated total fof
the entire country
Many States were included in the
summary.
The total number of deaths recorded
was 1872, 5SS, of which 398.597 or over 81
per cent. were males. The greatest
mortality occurred in March, and the
lowest in June. In 1908 the rate was
1874 per cent, he last year indicating
a falling off of almost half of / Der
cent.
Excellent as the showing is 1t vas not
so good as was made In England, where
the rate was only t41s to the thousand.
The low rate In both countries Is at
tributed to the absence Of widespread
epidemics.

NEWARK CLERGYMEN WISE
TO SWINDLERS' SCHEME.
Local Rect0rs Not Soft Snaps
for Travelling Fakirs.

That the Rev. James M. Mcdonald,
Of st. Luke's Methodist Church, is not
the only one whom Ralph w.
Graham" sought by the police, and
his accomplice tried to swindle vas
made plain last night when the police
received word from the Rev. w. H.
Thompson, rector of Trinity Episcopal
Church, stating he had received a LETT
ter from the %swindler, also. He saw
through the game and did not hand
over any money.
Both ministers were handed letters
purporting to be from preachers. THE
Rev. DR.. w. A. Wriston, of fremont
Street Church, Boston, was supposed
to have signed DR., McDonald's. The
local ministers were asked to give the
bearer, a youth. some money to help
him on his way to Lancaster. Pa,
where he was going in the hope of get
ting back his health on a farm.
The letter presented to DIR. Thompson
purported to come from the Rev. Rob-
ert e. Roseneau, of Boston. Both let
tiers were written in a matured hand
and by an illiterate person, the spell
ing being so poor that it would not de-
ceive a %schoolboy.
"Ralph w. Graham was named as
the bearer of the letters, and was re-
fered to in them as a consumptive VINO
had been paroled by the district at
torney in Connecticut, after he had
been sentenced to Jail for two or three
offepses.
Directly following this the writer
stated he was a good, honest lad.
worthy of aid and asking help from
his ''brother ministers" The letter
was calculated to move a stone. DR..
Wriston has been communicated with
and saws he wrote no such letters.

wants a day designated as an annual
field day.
In discussing the matter today the
sergeant said:
II have been trying to get this thing
under way for some time. but as yet
l have been unable to accomplish any
thing definite. 1 would like to get the
Police Benefit Association interested
In 1t and secure their support.
1.-THE question has been brought up a
number Of times and was approved,
but the association officers do not want
to handle 1t as a part of the organiza-
ton, but as a separate matter. This
will not do, for II it is taken up by
the P. b. A, at all it must be handled
as a part.
Success Crowns Efforts.

Next spring will see a field day in
Newark for the police department. The
commissioners are favorably disposed,
but what is lacking now is the sup
port of the men. But / think they will
now arise to the occasion.

The discussion current in stock market

was prepared to assert that the stock

The acceptance of the probability of de-

tvity. The effect was to suggest other
causes for the suspended animation of

The gold export movement is assuming
was regarded as an effect rather than a
cause of the stagnant speculation. The
languid demand for money is allowing
interest rates to recede in spite of the
material inroads making on the slender
surplus reserves of the banks
Today's engagements reached the sum
of $5,000000. which, added to yesterdays
engagements, measures fully up to the
actual surplus of the banks as it was
counted in the weeks statement of condi-
