Apples and nuts play an important
part in Halloween frolics. Apple bob
bing calls for a complexion and front
hair that Will stand water, and the sue
cessful apple bobber may be consider
ed to be devoid Of self-consciousness
and vanity. If girl goes in enthusi-
astically for apple-bobbing, it might be
wise for a man to lead her aside and
propose to her at once, without waiting
for any supernatural information or ad-
vice. The chances are she would make
a good wife. -.

propellers added to its speed, and
within few minutes after ascend
ing it was lost to view.
Wellman and his crew carried a
food supply to last them Is days
as q precaution against their en-
gines breaking down and their bal
loon being carried by adverse
winds into desolate regions. It Is
equipped with wireless outfit, a
retarder, motor sledges, non-sink-
able steel boats and a reserve gas
supply. It Is estimated the speed
Of the balloon is 40 miles an hour.
CROWDS ENTHUSIASTIC.
The crowd gave q big shout as
the gas bag slowly lifted, propelled
forward by the swapping, barking,
whirring motors.
Pleasure craft berthed at the
piers cast loose their lines and
raced seward after the speeding
dirigible, which gathered a faster
pace as she moved along. A fleet
of small boats wer the first to give
up. The yacht Olive, at full speed
ahead. kept up the race for a time
and when she finally gave up a
string OF signal flags was broken
from her foremost, bidding those
aboard the aerial craft Good luck
and victory" Aboard the Olive was
Colonel Thomas Potter. one of the
principal hackers of the Wellman
enterprise.
f; The crowds on shore watched the
balloon until 1t faded into the mist
and many remained silently and
with straining eyes long after the
airship had vanished. Attention
then centered about the wireless
station, where reports from the
America" were expected. The first

The crowd roared when the mes.
sage was announced. The second
message. telling of the weather con-
ditions aboard, was read and spread
from lip to lip.

a ROBBERIES IN
LAST TEN DAYS

A second robbery was reported
from the butcher shop of George 8.
Young. 203 First street. where a
cleaver and other butcher tools
were stolen.
Andy Daily of Moab, Wash,
went to sleep In a saloon at PIG
Stevens street last night and $42
was taken from his pockets.
R. H. Sylvester had a watch
stolen from his pocket while asleep
in the Rix bar last evening.
Nearly 500 worth of tools and
telephone supplies were stolen
from a supply care of the Home
Telephone company by some per-
son who broke the box open.
This morning at 1920 George
Duffy, aged 80, was found lying
about 25 feet from the end of the
Division street car line, and was
taken by the crew of Washington
Water Power car No. 118 to the
drug store at Indiana avenue and
Division street, from which place
he was removed to the emergency
hospital. Duffy's head was beaten,
a large cash cut over one eye, and
his eyes badly discolored. He was
evidently left for dead by his as
sailants.
The police are now trying to fig
ure whether he was attacked by an
enemy or by highwaymen who were
frightened away after striking him
down. They have made no arrests.
Now isn't this a record for any
police force to be proud of? Four
teen crimes of robbery and vio-
lence reported within the past 10
days, and what have the police
done?
They have made arrests in only
one case, and then the victim went
with them and pointed out the
men. On their own merits they
have not captured one of the men
who have been holding a carnival
of crime in this city.
What Is the trrble? Can't they
handle the situation, or don't they
care?

Andy's case Is In the most serious
OF stages.
This afternoon the doctor and
Mrs. HI. H. Estby, who has been
largely instrumental in keeping
Andy alive during the past year,
and as well as q few persons who
have become interested in the case,
will meet at the B. M. R. hotel, 235
Front street, where Andy has been
staying, and the doctor will make
m examination of the case with a
view to determining just what can
be done.
Enough interest has been
aroused in this case, through the
story in The Press last night, to
insure that Andy will be sent home
to his parents IL nothing can be
done for him, and that IL there Is
any hope Of recovery he will be
given chance.
Spokane has q great, big. throb-
bling human heart, full of sympathy
and always ready to assist the
brother or sister in districess, II
the case is put before the public
In such a way as to arouse this
sympathy.
:. Andy's case has stirred the pub
lie heart, and he is to be given
Z chance to live. or to die at home
with his own people, II it il found
that he cannot be cured.

DUKEDOM PROPOSED AS
BRIBE FOR WASHINGTON
Suggestion Made to British
Secretary of State

Some new light, not. on General
Washington's character. but on certain
English views of his character. is
offered in a volume just presented to
parliament Of the historical man
uscripts commission, says the New.
York Sun. It is volume IL of the re-

sTnptonshire, and deals with the most
important part of the Stopford-Sack

lating 70 the American war of inde-
pendence.
Lord George Sackville, to whom most
of the letters and papers in the col
lection We're addressed, was the British
secretary of state for the colonies from
17f5 TO 1882. One of the papers is a
long one by Sir John Dalrymple writ
