ANOTHER BALLOON TURNS TURTLE
IN MID-AIR KILLING FIVE MEN

Near Pascheid one Of the balloon
nets, of which there we're 12, set in
a rigid frame like water tight COM
partments of a ship, burst and the
gas bag it enclosed exploded. The
other bags were ripped to pieces, and
the aluminium car with It's passengers
and heavy engines dropped like a
plummet.
The car turned over before thase
inside could leap from it. The en-
gines, which were attached to the
car, were driven into the earth by
the impact of the fall, and the men,
caught in the descfending car, were
half buried in the earth.

CHICAGO TO TEACH
CHILDREN TO SWIM

Chicago, July Every boy
and girl ought to know how t.
swim. said Mrs. Ella Flagg Young
superintendent of public schools TO
day, and recently elected head of the
National Educational Association
"and every boy and girl attending the
public schools will soon be compelled
to learn to swim, just as he or she
is taught to read and write in the
regular grammar course.
Every teacher ought to know how
to swim, and the first step in accom-
plishing this fact will be the intro
duction into our teachers training
course at the normal school of a
course in swimming.
Eventually we will establish
swimming tanks in each of the high
schools throughout the city and the
children attending the various gram
mar schools can be brought to the
high schools to receive their prac-
tical training.
instruction in the proper way to
swim can be given in the class
room, but the actual practice will
have quicker results and will rob
the water of whatever terror it has
for some of the more timid,"

POCKET PICKED BY TwIG.
Watch Found Hanging to BOugh
Year After Loss.


A pickpocket has been discovered
in the woods near Riverhead, N. Y,
but was not arrested. It was a
twig.
In December, 1908, L. NJ. Raynor,
of Riverhead, was in the woods, and
unknown to him at the time a twig
picked his pocket, neatly extracting
his watch. He did not know of his
loss until he reached home, and he
did not know what had become of
the watch. Walking in the woods
recently, Raynor saw his watch de-
pending from a twig about the level
of his head He believed he must
have bent the branch down while
passing and that his pocket was
picked at that time.

LOST HER SLIPPER,
FOUND A HUSBAND
Story Of Cinderella, With
Variations, Comes True
in New York

NEW YORK, Sept. 3-The story Of
Cinderella, the shoe and the prince
has come true in this city, with vari-
tions.
Miss Mildred Mermelstein was any
thing but a Cinderella in her home,
215 East One Hundred and Thirteenth
street. She was a smart little steno-
grapher. Nor was the slipper made
Of glass. II was a real American
girls slipper, tiny and elegant.
The lover was not a prince, either,
but he was wealthy and very much
in love and all at first sight.
But the ball was real and the slip
per was worn at it and was much
admired. On its way home, on a
Madison avenue car, II slipped off
Miss Mildred's foot. Miss Mildred
did not miss il until she put her silk
stockinged toes to the cold, hard pave
ment She called to the conductor,
but the car sped on.
On the car was Samuel Newman, a
shoe manufacturer, $40 Wendover
avenue. He picked up the slipper
and hastened back, hoping to return
It to its owner, but Miss Mildred had
limped away. Next day the prince
advertised for the maiden whom the
slipper would fit. Miss Mildred
answered.
And, just as I'm the story, too, the
prince found that the owner of the
slipper was fair TO gaze upon and
charming in her ways. That was two
months ago.
The announcement of their engage
ment was made to-day. The marriage
is to take place next week.
Miss Mermelstein said to a re-
porter:
yet, it is quite true about my los
ing my slipper, and l did feel SO
mortified How was / to know that
1t was going to bring me a prince!
What size was the slipper? What
questions you ask 1t was a No.
2. We are going to have it put i'm
a glass case in memory of the happy
occasion"
Mr. Newman is "a. He said:
There's a lot of character in a
shoe, even in a slipper, and I said I
must win the hand of the girl that
owns the foot that lost that slipper.
They say it's lucky to find a horse
shoe. don't know about that; but
it's lucky to find a slipper"

Matthew Tobin is still some cop. The
great big policeman who has captur-

sent one of the fellows up for ten
years, is still doing business at the
old stand. He read in a Philadelphia
paper yesterday that a young man
had been missing since Wednesday
and that when he went away he rode
a horse belonging to the Aldine Rid
ing Academy. Between Z and 8
o'clock last evening a young man
rode into town and put up at the Gill
pin House. oIIe was placed under ar
rest a few minutes later by Tobin.

Marshall and his age as fourteen
years.
He said he had been employed by

he left Philadelphia and wanted "a

notified the Philadelphia authorities
TO come for Marshall and the horse.
Marshal told Mayor Boyd his par
ents died when he was a small boy.
He denied that he was here two weeks
ago with another horse. A youth
answering his. description rode
through here then and inquired the
road to Delaware City. He said last
night he expected to take the horse
back to Philadelphia tomorrow and
return It to the stable.
