THE COURT OF PEACE.

Many silly suggestions are sent ou
from Washington to spread over the
land and among the latest and the
silliest is that Of establishing a
Court of Peace. over which Theo-
dore Roosevelt is to preside.
This man to father a peace move
ment who disturbs the rest Of the
wild animals of Africa and the peace
Of every nation he visits. why not
Mac Buffalo Bill in charge of the
salvation Army? Make j. p. Nor
gan general superintendent Of the
Sunday School system of the world
Hariiman, president of the Tuskegee
Institute? Weston the master OF d
colony of snails? The Car Of Rus
STA commander in chief of a society
Of reform and for the reduction OF
the expenditure of peoples money!
And commit the baby to the tender
care and keeping Of the heels OF the
mule?

s,ua.n, and co.Ed DROWNED.

Considerable mystery surrounds the
ending of the bodies OF two students
Of Ursinus college in the Perkiomen
creek near the boat landing OF the col
lege which is at Collegeville, about
tewnty.fve miles from Philadelphia
The dead students, who were last
seen alive when they entered boat
for a row on the creek, we're Edna
Thomas. seventeen years old. OF Roy
ersford. this state, and Frederick l..
Fogelmann. Of Munhall, which Is near
Pittsburg. The girl was a sophomore
and the young man a senior.
How they came to their death Is
nuzzling the authorities, though the
fact that the water about the college
landing is deep and that the young
man could not swim lead to the belief
that in the darkness the girl may
have fallen overheard while trying &c
step from the boat to the landing. This
being true. the authorities think 70
eelmann may have been drowned II
irving 10 rescue his companion. 4
rigid investigation is being made, how
ever. there being talk Of foul play or
suicide pact.

Aviator Crossed and RGCTOSSsd
Channel Without Stop.
TAKES LAURELS FROM FRENCH
captaln Rolls AeeompIishes Unpreee-
dented Feat and Makes New heeo'o
For over-Water Flight.

Captain Charles Stuart Rolls, the
English aviator, few from Dover Eng
land. to Sangate, France, and returned
without stopping across the Engisn
channel.
This is an unprecedented feat. LOUIS
Bleriot and Count De Lesseps crossed
the channel from France to England
but never before has a continuous
fight between England and France
and return been made.
Rolls reached the French coast IN
splendid time. He circled twice over
-sangatte Cliffs. near Calais, and WIN
out stopping his engine turned MS
aeroplane back to the British shore.
The distance across the channel Is
twenty-one miles. so Captain Rolls ac-
complished an over-water flight oil
forty.two miles. making a new record
for this particularly dangerous course.
The weather was perfect The pro
gress of the aviator was watched win
the aid of glasses until he was witnih
two miles of the French coast Wheh
the aeroplane vanished from view
After circling the cliffs of Sangatte'
Rolls headed straight to sea and maze
the return at a rapid pace.
Three torpedo boats which had been
strung across the channel in anticipa-
ton of the fight started simultaneous
" with the bird-man when he set out
for France. but though the boats were
driven at full speed they we're soon
overhauled and passed by the aviator
The Englishman's aeroplane Is a
Wright machine, built in France, Win
an American Wright engine. The
plane has two seats. giving accommo-
dation for passenger.
By making the return trip he wins
the Rouat prize of $500.
For two weeks or so Rolls has been
preparing for the double channel flight
and the Inhabitants Of the French
shore have been anxiously awaiting
the trial
Thousands Of the 10000 people Of
Calais went to the surrounding points
the fact that an Englishman was a.
last going TO attempt the feat twice
= performed by Frenchmen attracting
wide attention.
When Rolls left Dover he circle'
around once after his machine left th'
earth. then darted straight out to SCI
at express train speed The weathe
was very clear and his progress wa
visible until he had arrived within
two miles of the French coast

Wilkes-B Barre, Pa. was found hidden
behind a clump of bushes at a desc
