Aerial Navigation

A regular passenger service
through the air is now an ac-
complished fact. Last week in
Germany, Court Zeppelin, sew
enty-two years old, inventor OF
the dirigible balloon was the
commander and chief engineer
for his airsfip Deutschland" on
her first trip of three hundred
miles from Friedricshaven to
Dusseldorf carrying eleven pas
Singers and nine in the crew. The
trip was made in schedule time
in about nine hours with an aver
age speed of thirty-three miles
an hour, and is the beginning OF
regular service of which fare
of fifty dollars is charged. The
passengers report that the yes
sci was absolutely steady and
the panoramic view OF the
country is magnificent. The
average altitude on the trip was
800 feet. She provides her pas
senger with a luxurious cabin,
trimmed with mahogany and a
we'll appointed restaurant. with
buffet service. On this trip the
ship carried dead weight OF
eleven thousand pounds, which
is only one-fourth of her capac-
ity.

Two Family Birthdays.

Prof. w. E. Bailey and Ben

days. Prof. Barley was 60 years
old on Tuesday and Mr.. Linken-

TO HELP HARMON.
The Democratic Press Bureau of
Indiana May Kill Marshalrs
Chances for President

Indianapolis, July 2.-The es-
Enlistment OF campaign press
bureau at this time to furnish
campaign news to democratic
newspapers OF the state may yet
be the rock ON which THE demo-
cratic party I'M Indiana will be
split. y new phase was given to
the matter by a Democrat, who
IS in a position to know what he
IS talking about at all times
when It comes to state political
affairs. He world not allow his
name to be used, although he
was willing to give out the story.
He says that the idea of the
Taggart crowd in bringing about
the establishment OF a press bu-
reau is to boost Governor Har-
NOM OF Ohio for the Democratic
presidential nomination and to
kill off whatever chance Cover
nor Marshall may have to land
the nomination for himself. He
says. this will begin to crop out
within a short time. and that
then it will be seen that Tom
Taggart is still the same old willy
politician that he has always
been and that he will make a
desperate effort to lead Indiana
into the Harmon column when
the time comes to make a NOM
inatiOn for president two years
hence.
This interesting situation has
been discussed to some extent.
but it was not until yesterday
that anyone could be found who
would say that such a plan was
being worked out by the Taggart
crowd.

HOBBLE SKIRT FAVORITE
Americans, Chief Users of the
Skinny Garment, Adding
to Sights of Paris.

New York, June 30.-Mrs. Jas.
A. Stevenson, society woman
of this city, who arrived ON the
Maiser Wilhelm Ill.,, said that,
although the hobble skirt is a
Partisan creation, American wo-
men are the chief users of it in
the French capital.
" persons on this side of the
water" said Mrs. Stevenson,
'1have not seen the hobble skirt
in all its glory. Where the or
binary garment is four yards
wide this is but one. The result
is that women can scarcely walk
and when they alight from car
riages must lift the skirt above
the knee.
This syle is much favored by
the maids and matrons of the
United States. The display OF
feminine charm as sa!tfsult of the
hobble skirt style has added lau-
relS to the name of Paris. already
famous for such things"

JEFFRIES GIVES REASON.
Says He Lost Fight Because Old
Time Dash Was
Gone

Monday evening after the fight
James ]. Jeffries said:
Il lost my fight this afternoon
because | did not have the snap
of youth | used to have. | be-
lieved in my own heart that all
OF the old-time dash was there.
but when | started to execute
the speed and youthful stamina
were lacking. The things | used
to do were impossible. For in
stance. | used to shoot in a
rlght-hand body punch, sort OF
short-range blow, that never
used to fail me. But when |
tried it today the snap was not
there and it was only love tap.
| suppose most OF my trainers
and helpers will say that did
not box often enough. 1t would
not have made any difference it
| had SPARED a dozen times Of
tener than | did. | simply was
not there and that's all there is
to- it.
| guess it's all my own fault.
| was getting along nicely and
living peacefully on my al
falfa farm, but when they started
calling or me and mentioning me
as tine white mans hope /
guess my pride got the better of
my good judgment. AT that, I
worked long and hard to condi-
ton myself and | was fit, so far
as strength goes. but the old nee
esssary snap and dash. the will
ingness to tear and crush were
not with me-"

THE PRIZE FIGHT.

The great fight about which
so much had been written and
talked for months proved to be
a pitiful tragedy for the white
man who was once a powerful
fighter. Jeffries was out-fought,
outLboxed, out-scienced and very
easily whipped by the negro.
who played with him for seven
hounds and then knocked him
out in the sixteenth when it was
evident that re could have finish
ed the fight in five rounds ii he
had CHOSEN to do so.
Tens of thousands OF dollars
were lost and won because of
sentiment Men bet on the man
they wanted to- win, not as their
judgment would have dictated il
they had used heir reasoning
powers. They bet as most men
bet on elections Jeffries never
had a chance and whatever he
might have Thought few weeks
ago, he knew Re was whipped
before he entered the ring while
the negro was confident of win
ming. The pugilists who saw
the fight believe that Johnson
could have whipped Jeffries in
his palmiest days. Through all
the combat he showed marvellous
speed and aggressiveness. He
fought carefully, fearlessly and
inteliigently, won easily and
there remains no living man to
dispute his title as worlds cham
pion OF the prize ring. The
fight may prove a blessing in dis
guise. 1t may turn the attention
of athletes to something better
than prize fighting 1t is appar-
ent now that prize fighting is
an ignOble pursuit in which no
white man, who has any respect
for himself should engage.

Medical Standards.

a recent bulletin issued by the
Carnegie Foundation, in the
main critical and condemnatorv
of the medical schools and col
leges of the country, has aroused
"a good deal of indignation
among supporters of the schools
criticised as we'll as among other
members of the medical profess
sion.
Abraham Flexner, a professional
critic of educational matters,
who claims lat it is based on
personal investigation of every
medical school in this country
and Canada finds that the insti-
tutions are with few exceptions,
inferior and inadequate. Their
methods are defective. and their
standards low. Also there are far
too many schools and most II
them are distinguished by a de-
ficiency of facilities for teaching
in the way of apparatus.
The report is severe and the
resentment against it grows in
part out of the fact that in its
criticisms the Carnegie founda-
ton is assuming a sort of super
vision of the Medical schools,
which 1t does not possess and an
authority to speak which it was
not asked to take. The New
York Medical Record makes a
point however that what Flex-
ner sets forth has long been
known to medical men and that
they have so deplored these con-
dltions that they have set about
improving them.

Illinois Supreme Court Decides

Women who wheedle their
husbands out bf PROPERTY by
making false representation con-
corning their devotion can be re-
quired to surrender their gains
according to the decision OF the
supreme court OF Illinois in the
case of Basil Fischer against Ba-

The Fischers were married In
1898. He was 20 years old and
crippled; she was forty. She
promised to care for him for the

him to turn over his property.
Then she advertised in the
newspapers for a good German
man in middle years; good home
to the right person. She got a
man named Schmidt, who usurp-
ed the place of the aged husband.
Fischer brought suit for divorce.
He got it, but failed to obtain
the return OF his property. The
supreme court, however, holds
that this should have been in

ed the old man relief.

MAN DROPS TO DEATH.

Muncie, Ind. June 30.-Wllen
the parachute in which he was
attempting to come to earth after
a balloon ascension at Albany,
twelve miles northeast of Mum
Gle, faibed to open this afternoon,
Ray Bradley twenty-four years
old, whose Gormer home is said
to have been at Kansas City,
dropped 1900 feet and when the
horffed witnesses of the accident
reached the spot where Inc fell, a
short distance from the Missis-
sinewa river, he was dead. Death
was instantaneous, it is believed,
as practically every bone in
Bradley's body was broken. He
used a double parachute outfit,
coming part of the way down in
one and them finishing tre de-
scent in the other.
Bradley reached a height OF
about 1000 feet and cut loose,
coming down 500 feet in the first
parachute. When he started to
get away from the second, how
ever, the big canvass sheet failed
to open.
Ih'e catastrophe was witness
ed by about 5000 people. Brad
lev ioi1ed the carnival company
at Mentone about year ago. An
uncle and an aunt of the young
man, whose names are unknown
are believed to reside at Lima,
Ohio. Nothing definite toward
locating relatives however, has
been accomplished.

Can be Made to Work.

Amos w. Butler, secretary OF
the board OF state charities has
received a letter from Samuel NJ
Foster, president OF the associat-
ed charities OF Fort Wayne
making inquiry as to what
can be done with Jail pris-
oners in Allen county to keep
them from remaining idle while
sdrvingttime in jail. Mr.. But
Ter says he has also received
similar letters from many others
cities in the state, letters having
come recently from South Bend,
L.aporte, Evansville. and other
places all seeking information
along the same line.
Il have told all inquiries" said
Butler, that the county commits
sioners have authority under the
law to remedy the condition.
The commissioners may adopt a
resolution directing the employ
ment of prisoners on public work
on roads, streets and alleys or
they may build a work house for
the county and put the prisoners
to work there. Some counties
have already provided them
selves with work houses. One
county bought barn, put bars
on the windows and locks on
the doors and its Jail prisoners
are kept busy breaking stone for
road work. 1t is gratifying to
see the interest of the people
aroused in this matter, for it I'M
doubtedly means that something
will be done to remedy the pres
ent condition."

Equal Suffrage Missionaries.

The equal suffragIsts, who are
autonobiling northwestern Hi
nois seems to have found at last
the road wllich may lead to VIC
tory. 1t has dawned on them
that while there is less personal
discomfort involved in sitting in
a cool Office building and sending
.out literature, no appeal which
pamphlet or tract can make has
so much force as that of the
spoken word. We know what
generally becomes of documents,
congressional and educational.
They go TO make curl papers for
the hair OF beauty. to- light the
family fire, or to wrap up little
purchases OF butter or tea.
1t may not be true for fernn-
inc intuition is sometimes at
fault, that the touring suffragists
are making a thousand votes a
day for their cause. But they
are opening the minds of more
than a thousand, getting them
to take in the fact that there is
such a question as woman suf-
frage and that some women are
intensely devoted to it. When
