BALLOON ADRIFT.
Zeppeiin's Dirigible With Passengers
Aboard, Drifting Helpless Before
Gale.

Dusseldorf, Germany, June 2S.-The
Zeppelin dirigible balloon, Deutschland
with crew and 20 newspaper men
aboard, is drifting helpless before a
strong gale. One OF the motors is
broken and the great air liner has found
it impossible to land Grave fears are
entertained for her safety.
When last seen the Deutschland was
being driven by the wind above Osno-
brueck.
The air liner assembled at an early
hour this morning with a score Of
newspaper men as guests, the intention
being TO make a voyage over the
countryside and return in two hours.
Already the Deutschland has been
aloft ten hours.
When the heavy wind arose the pilot
tried to turn the Deutschland back TO
her anchorage in this city, but he found
it impossible to manoeuvre the ship
successfully owing to her broken motor.
He then tried in turn TO land at bort
mund and Muenster. Both attempts,
however, proved to be too dangerout and
we're abandoned.
Messages have been sent to all ports
OF the country over which the Deutsch-
land will be likely to pass and troops
have been ordered to hold themselves
in readiness to aid the vessel in case she
comes near the earth

Ex-President Roosevelt.

New York, June 28.-Although the
roads leading from Oyster Bay were
dangerous from the heavy rain fall of
last night and this morning, Mr..
Roosevelt annexed another record to
his already long string. In his new
fifty horsepower touring car he covered
the distance from Sycamore Hill to the
Grand Central station, New York, in
just forty minutes.
On his arrival he shook hands with
all the porters in sight as well as the
engineer and fireman Of the train that
was to bear him to Boston. Just as he
was entering his state-room he was
stopped by letter carrier gray and
bent with years.
Well, / declare, " exclaimed Roose-
welt patting the old man on the back.
Here is my old friend jerry he
continued turning to the crowd that
had collected. Jerry elected me to
the assembly just 2S years ago and |
never shall forget that day"
Taking the old man aside he whisp-
cred something in his ear. Evidently
it pleased the aged letter carrier inn
mensely, for he Strengthened his warped
form and with his face wreathed in
smiles marched proudly down the plat
form.
Seating himself comfortably in his
stateroom Roosevelt spread the current
issue of the Outlook on his lap and set
tied down to an interrupted peace, for
the newspaper correspondents were on
his trail and soon discovered him.
We'll, by George said Roosevelt,
issuing from his comfortable quarters
to greet the melancholy club, / GER
tainly am glad to see you boys and
give you parting word"
Il wonder" he added, who started
that outrageous story concerning the
operation that | was about to have.
The author of such a story must have
very elastic conscience.

The Coming Fight.

Jeffries's Training Quarters, Moano
Springs, Reno, New, June 26.-One
feature OF the coming fight between
Jeffries and Johnson that is engrossing
attention has to do with the altitude,
despite the fact that both have shown
that the air does not affect them. 1t is
admitted, however, that one punch in
the stomach. 5000 feet above the sea
level, will be far more hurtful than at
sea level. The heart does not respond
with the same speed and tap in the
mid-riff that short clinch would over
come in San Francisco or New York
might prove awfully dangerous in Reno.
So the question naturally arises,
will Jeffries or the black land the
first wallop to the stomach. "
That this blow will have much to do
with the outcome of the battle is the
general conclusion, and in this connec-
ton it is pointed out that Jeffries is
trying to perfect his long left to the
stomach as well as his Earring right at
close quarters For days he has been
working his eye on the stomach punch,
with Armstrong and Burns as his tar
gets. 1t has not been Jeffries's idea to
land, but to guage his punch to such a
nicely that he can step in and with
either hand deliver the blow with a
minimized chance of receiving return
such as Johnson's deadly right upper
cut or a ripping straight left.
Jack Johnson's Training Quarters,
Rick s Resort, Reno, New, June Is
The reports that are being noised
around from Jeffries camp that John
son is showing lack OF speed in his work
don't find favor with the trainers Of
this camp, and all combine is strenu-
ously denying them. Reno is simply
boiling over with thrills equalled only
by the days of the gold rush. The
chunks CT money wagered on the scrap
only increases the excitement. In this
camp there is about 81 900 exclusive Of
what Jack may bet, to be put up at
better than l to 2. Frank Sutton, Of
Pittsburg, said today he has $1,000 to
wager on Johnson but wants odds Of
10 to 4. With the fight a week away,
Jack s trainers are showing the strain,
cut Johnson himself, to all appear
ances, is the least concerned man in

NnlIar Gowns.

New York, June 2S.-Fashionablo
modistes who last night attended tn
graduating exercises at the Washington
Irving High School hope that the inno-
walton of the sweet girl graduates will
not spread. The 243 girls who re-
ceived their diplomas we're attired in
handsome gowns which cost them from
70 cents to $1.71 each. the average cost
OF the graduating dresses being one
dollar. Not a soul in the audience
which filed the auditorium would have
known that the girls had set a new
standard of economy, for their dresses
were as pretty and fluffy and bewitch-
ing as the $40 and $50 dresses Of other
graduating classes. The idea Of the
dollar gown originated with Miss Muriel
Willard, of the dress making depart
ment, and the girls heartily concurred
in the scheme. The dresses were made
OF lawn and muslin, purchased for
almost nothing" at bargain sales and
made by the girls themselves. Miss
Neva Pratt achieved triumph for only
rs cents, Miss Isabella Schwartz was
more extravagant, as she spent 96 cents
on her gown. Miss Berthe Moysumer
spent 81. 10 and Miss Hilda Holland
actually threw money away. She ex-
pended $1.71 on tunic gown.

they used freely and many were hurt.
Several other riotous gatherings

Chased BY a Mob.

Wilmington, Del, June 2S.-Chased
by a mob, which wouldshaye used him
roughly had not members OF the Lib
erty Fire Company came to his rescue,
Isaac Miller, colored, is locked up at
the police station charged with assault
and battery on Mrs. Anna Devine.
Tie rolice later learned that the sup
posed assault upon the woman was an
accident.
1t appears that Miller was protect
ing himself from the attack OF dog
belonging to the Devines with stick,
and Mrs. Devine got in the way, and
was struck. The details OF the affair
we're not known to the crowd which
chased the negro, however, and had
it not been for the firemen he would
have met with severe punishment.

Charlton Arraigned.

Jersey City, N. j., June 2S.-Porter
Charlton, confessed murderer Of his
wife, whose body was found in Lake
Como, Italy, was arraigned before
Judge Blair, in the Court OF Oyer and
Terminer, today, and remanded TO the
county jail until July 8, after promise
from his attorneys that no effort would
he made to secure his release on writ
Of habeas corpus or lunacy writ before
that date.
The delay was sought by Charlton's
attorneys to ascertain what steps the
State Department will take in Charl-
tons extraditjon to Italy and TO allow
the alienists further time TO study the
prisoners mental condition.
Charlton was present in court. He
showed no interest in the proceedings
and kept his e.res fastened on the floor
during the EN- ire i.:.aring.
The prisoner objected TO having
handouts pla ,ed on him while being
taken from the Hudson county jail to
the court hodse, as Sheriff Kelly took
him in charge personally and led him
by roundabout way to the court house
to dodge the photographers.
Court was delayed for some time by
the non-arrival Italian Acting Consul
General Gustave di Rosa and his at
torney, Umberto Molassi, who will in
sst that Charlton be sent back to Italy
for trial.
As soon as the case was called,
Edwin Smith, one of the attorneys
for the prisoner, asked for post
ponement until July 8. Prosecutor
Harven objected, declaring the delay
was wanted to learn the attitude OF
the State Department and to give the
alienists more time. Smith thereupon
agreed not to ask for a writ of habeas
corpus or an insanity commission be-
fore July 8, and the postponement was
allowed by Judge Blair.
Charlton was thereupon rushed back
to the jail.
After the hearing r. Floyd Clark,
OF counsel for the prisoner, declared
he did not believe Charlton would ever
be sent back to Italy for trial.
Clark cited the case Of Caldwell, the
great American affidavit maker, "
who was a principal witness in the
English suit for the estate of the duke
of Portland, whose alleged heirs de
clared he led dual life. Caldwell
fled to America and England asked his
extradition on the charge OF perjury.
Caldwells relatives declared he was
insane and he was never sent back to
England.

SERIOUS FIRE
Half a Million Dollar Fire-Riremen
Buried Under Failing Walls-Thriii-
ing Rescue.

fhf s,~'e~
Paterson, n. j., June 2S.-Fire,
which was not extinguished until late
hour this morning, threatened to de-
stroy an entire business block in the
centre OF Paterson, injured four hremen
and caused a property loss OF $500, 900.
Many narrow escapes were reported.
The fire started at IL O'Clock last
night in the Van Dyke furniture store,
one OF the largest in New jersey. Be-
fore the firemen arrived the blaze was
threatening the block surrounded by
Main, Market, Cross and Ward streets.
The fire was soon beyond the control
of the Paterson firemen and aid was
summoned from Haledon, Clifton and
surrounding towns.
Every building in the block was
soon mass of flames. Days moving
picture show went up like finder.
Then Donahue's cafe and bowling alley
burned. A shift in the wind sent the
flames into the Opera House and Lock-
woods furniture store. The Opera
House was saved. A big three-store
te lement next to the Vandyke building
was soon blazing and the fremen had
to take the occupants out Of the burning
building on scaling ladders.
A back draught threw down the wall
OF the building and four fremen we're
buried under the ruins. They we're
soon dug out by their comrades. Their
iniuries are not serious.

Wardani, nationalist student. whose
assassination early in the year Of
Premier Boutros Pasha, called for a
scathing denunciation at the hands Of
Theodore Roosevelt, when the latter
spoke before the students Of the uni
versity OF Egypt, was hanged here to-
day for his crime.
The execution occasioned intense
excitement, owing to the fear of a
demonstration by the nationalist. The
government, however, made ample
provision against this, and there has
not yet been the least disorder, although
the nationalists are holding meetings
throughout the city. Wardani ascend

since the commission of the crime. ]

were his last words. The hanging was
secret, even newspaper men being
excluded from the prison yard where
the scaffold was erected. The prison
was entirely surrounded by troops,
while hundreds OF troops patrolled the
streets and mingled with the crowds on
the streets. No large gatherings were
permitted.

CHURCHES TO maintain member
shin must offer inducements that will
get people to attend services, " suggests
Rev. H. A. Jump, pastor of the South
Congregational Church, New Britain
Conn. and propose to make South
Church popular place this summer.
The pastor will have his sermons Sun
day evening illustrated by motion pic
tures. Amusement managers who
have been barred from showing moving
pictures Sunday nights, are talking OF
getting out an injunction. The xperl-
msnt will be tried next Sunday. The
fact that the attendance at churches on
the part Of men is on a gradual decline
is realized by many interested in the
propagation OF the gospel, but 1t has
been truly said if secular amusements
are used for the purpose OF drawing
crowds the church will come out sec
ond-best every time, as experience has
shown that the latter cannot compete
with the world.
