AIR MAN AT CAPITAL
WHITE CALLS AT WHITE HOUSE
IN AEROFLANE.
He Makes Ascent Between High Walls
and Fence-Then Scars Around
Washington Monument.

Washington.-In a narrow street
upon a precisely selected spot, after
an aerial flight of more than six miles
across the city, Claude Grahame
White, the English aviator, Friday
dropped his aeroplane at the side doc
of the White House.
He landed where the slightest ievia'
ton from his course would have I'M
paled him upon the spikes OF the iron
fence around the White House
grounds at his right or smashed MIN
against the granite wall at his left.
The airship struck the asphalt paved
street sQuarely in the middle and
rolled 200 feet. Admiral George Dewey
was on the spot to offer congratula-
lions. Other officials of the army and
navy, includi0 Acting Secretary OF
War Oliver and Maj.-Gen. Wood, add
ed their words of commentator.
White started shortly after II
o'clock in the forenoon. He rose to
a height of 500 feet by circling about
the grounds, and then darted away to-
ward the city, six miles distant. Max
ing his object point the towering
Washington monument, the air man,
upon reaching this point, turned his
machine n%orthward and sailed directly
over the White House.
He then sailed directly toward Elk.
ecutive avenue and with a quick de
scent brought the biplane to the pae'
ment. The flight had occupied only
ten minutes.
Having paid a formal call upon Brig.
Gen. Allen, White was invited to par
take of luncheon with officers of the
army and navy ar a nearby club. In
an hour he was back again.

STORM SWEEPS COAST
MANY LIVES LOST, MILLIONS IN
PROPERTY DESTROYED.
Wireless Communication With Yes
sells Along Florida Coast Has
Been Cut Off.

Tampa, Fla.-With communication
with all points south of here cut of.
wireless stations out of commission
and the increasing danger of the inter
ruption of communication with the en-
tire world, Tampa and all that terri
tory between Tampa and the Florida
Keys is being storm swept. 1t is I'M
possible at this hour to estimate the
damage, no reports having been re-
ceived from nearby towns.
With a steady gale blowing seaword
at the ate of fifty miles an hour, and
increasing in intensity every moment,
the tide in the bay is lower than ex-
listing records show. Many small craft
anchored in the vicinity of the Tampa
Bay Hotel are stranded, and a few
pleasure craft are lying on their sides
with more or less damage. The storm
has blown the water out Of the bay,
causing a tide at least seven feet be-
low low water.
Chief alarm is felt in the damage to
fruit and truck in the section between
here and Punta Gorda ana further in
land. Indications at a late hOur are
that the center of the storm will pass
a little to the southwark of Tampa.
This means that it will spend itself
perhaps somewhere in the Everglades.
Grave fears are entertained here for
the safety of forty-six members of the
Plant City Artillery company, which is
encamped at Egmont Key. Consider
able fear is also entertained for resi-
dents at Passe-A-Grille, a y%ear-rOund
resort on the bay. There are at least
fifty persons at that point, where, II
is believed, the full force Of the dis
turbance will be felt.
Fortunately, the four days warning
given by the weather department has
served to put all shipping on guard.
Not a boat has gone out Of here in
that time, and o n has come in.
The schooner Brazos, which sailed
from here several days ago, is be
lieved TO have been lost, as no things
of her have been received since she
LEFT. She was bound for Cuban ports
loaded with lumber.
Untold damage has been done or
anges, which gave promise of a large
crop.

LAST HEARD OF DIRIGiBLE 1T WAS
PROCEEDING WELL.
Carries Provisions for a Month and Is

Copyright. 1900

Atlantic City, N. J.-Walter Well
from Atlantic City to blaze the way
for future to Europe by the
air route. Unexpectedly to his friends
and TO the pubic, he cut loose the
hanger of the ship America and sailed
to sea in a dense fog in which the
balloon was lost to view in three min
utes by the watch.
Striking boldly out from the coast,
the airship headed for the other side
of the Atlantic, bit wireless messages
which were picked up here first report
ed the America off Staten Island, and
then she was sighted at sea some dis
lance from the coast, headed north
ward. That is in line with his state
ment before starting, in which he said
he would follow the coast toward the
New Foundland banks and then head
the dirigible across the narrowest
point from land to land.
The first word received from Well
man by wireless was 10 the effect that
the America was making fifteen miles
an hour. Later he said the ship was
driving at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour steadily, and that he expected
a better record would be reported If
the gale which vas announced to be
sweeping the coast would turn sea
ward and pick up the America.
Starting from the beach a few min
utes after s o'clock, the big air craft
was soon out of sight of the cheering
crowd that had gathered for the as
cent. Since then no one, with the
exception of ships at sea, has seen
the strange craft, and the only word
from her came by means of the wire
less telegraph.
The men VINO are making aeronaut
ic history in the first oveer-ocean figh'
of an airship are: Walter Wellman
commander; Melvin Vaniman, CHIEF
engineer and next in command; F
Murray SimondS, navigator; ]. K. Ir
win, wireless operator; John Aubert
and Albert Louis Loud, assistant en-
gineerS.
The start of the America was one
of the most dramatic ever occurring
in this care-free resort of frequent sen
SationS.

Abiding In Christ.

The consciousness that one is abid-
ing in a divine Lord lends life its
sweetness, strength and enduring
hopefulness. If our fortunes are
merged In 'Christ's fortunes, nothing
can defeat us; II his life is our life,
no diminution or destruction OF our
10y and hope is possible. The early
disciples went forth "conquering and
to conquer" because Of their conf
dence in him who said, II am with you
AWAY, even unto the end of the
world" The presence of the Lord Is
the power of the disciple-it has al
ways been so, it is so now. That man
is never weak, though he may seem
so in the eyes Of the world, whose life
is hid with Christ In God.

Fearless Service.

There is a world of practical philos-
ophy in Christ's teachings about
losing ones life to save it. Only as
a man spends himself in unselflsh
toll for others does he gain an in
sight into the true secret of exist
ence. Not until he is lifted up on
a cross of sacrifice can he obtain the
broad vision of lie, the clear under
standing Of brotherhood, and the
full perception Of truth that are the
richest rewards the human soul car
know this side of heaven. II you
would save your life from smallness'
meanness, selfshness and death, then
lose it by fearless service.

hand" said the governor, "and already

BALL PLAYER IS AN
INVENTOR At TIMES
Fred Clarke, Pittsburg Captain,
Has Secured Valuable Pat
ents and Wants More.

Fred Clarke, manager. captain and
left fielder of the Pittsburg worlds
champions, may win fame in the realm
Of science when his days Of usefulness
on the ball field are ended. The Kan
sas farmer is of an inventive turn Of
mind. and when he Is not playing on
the diamond devotes his spare time to
thinking out plans to help his fellow
men und to add something to the fam
lily treasury. which Is already well
filled.
His first fling in the invention line
netted the baseball world a patent can-
vas covering for the infield, which is
guaranteed to nah 1t possible to play
livery day on which rain Is not actually
falling at game time. sThe cover has
already been put In use at Pittsburg,
Cleveland, New York, Cincinnati and
several other cities.
Now Fred has something new. It is a
cap specially designed for sun field
ers," those unfortunate mortals who
are compelled to field fly balls with
old Sol pouring his binding light right
into their eyes.
For years sun felders have worn
ordinary smoked glasses. 1t was i'm
possible to see a ball leave the bat with
these over the eyes, hence the glasses
were worn far down on the nose until
the sphere rose In the air, and then
the player pushed the glasses up over
his eyes. one day Clarke, in making
this move, jabbed a finger into one Of
his eyes and that set him thinking.
The result Is a a with a long
aluminium peak, to which a pair OF
smok glasses are fastened with a
hinge. There is also a strong spring
arrangement, n when not In use the
glasses lie up against the peak Of the
cap in a horizontal position. All that
Is necessary to make them fall over the
eyes is a touch Of the finger, and this is
far easier than pushing an ordinary
pair of glasses from III point Of the
nose upward.
The glasses have been tried and
pronounced a success. When the
Giants played in Pittsburg recently the
sun field greatly affected the work of
Josh Devore, who up to that time had
been going like a house afire. His
batting slumped as his fielding fell off,
and finally Manager McGraw pur-
chased for him a pair of Clarke's pat
ent sun glasses. The little fellows
work picked UP In all departments at
once,
