A BEAUTIFUL FLIGHT

In shape for the flight. Between
four and five O'Clock, in front of the

along the ground on It's wheels for
short distance and then lifted and
rose gradually as gracefully as a

side the race track. 1t was certainly
sight worth seeing and was en-.
joyed by all who saw it.
The attendance at the Fair
Grounds was much smaller than was
anticipated, the crowd being between
900 and 900. On account of the
novelty Of the air machine flight,
the first that has ever been pulled
of here, it was thought more would

only other attraction at the Fair

Albany Homes Nsar Ruins
Are Vacated.

.-N
Albany, March 31.-work already has
begun on the east end of the burned
capitol OF preparing a habitable home
for the several departments that the
fire left In a state OF ruin. Clerks are
busy clearing away the wreckags and
removing the records to places of safe
ty. In other parts Of the capitol IRE
men are still soaking the walls and
debris, where occasional bursts Of
flame start. 1t will require Mt least a
weeks work by 300 men to clean up
the unburned parts Of the building sui.
Aciently for any offices to reopen.
A dozen independent state depart
ments were scattered In private apart
ments, while others that bore the
brunt of the fire, like the state library,
have n been able to resume busi-
ness. Bills have been introduced In
the legislature for an appropriation Of
100000 to make immediate repairs to
the building and for the tearing down
OF walls believed to be In danger OF
falling.
John FalIon. inspector Of public
buildings for Albany. has cleared the
houses directly opposite the capitol OF
their occupants for fear one or more
of the blackened and heat loosened
walls might topple over on these
dwellings. AS a result a dozen or
o families have been disconnected.
State Architect Franklin B. Ware
says that he has assigned portions Of
the building as to it, safety and the
possibility Of making early repairs to
some Of the rooms.
The exterior walls of the pavilions
on the northwest and southwest cor
ners and the westerly gables appear
to be plumb. Some OF the interior
walls Of the library are In a very dam
gerous condition and should be shored
up Immediately. The dormers on the
southwestern pavilion are also In a
dangerous condition and will require
Immediate snoring or tearing down.
The state architect gave instructions
to the superintendent Of public build
ings to keep all cellar drains and man
holes open to afford easy outlet for
the tons Of water that are being pour
ed into the building. All Of this water
is being taken OF by the sewers. and
SO far as 1t can be ascertained none Of
1t can affect the foundations.
Examination of the assembly ceiling
made by the state architect shows
that the westerly portion Of 1t has
been badly damaged by fire and water.
The damage affects primarily the pam
els between the beams. which can be
taken out and replaced. although In a
few instances the beams themselves
will have to be renewed.

Ham Stewart and wife disagreed, and
Mrs. Stewart went to live with a mar

ing seurrilous sentences about his
wife on heps' eggs and drew many
cartoons on the eggs, she being the
central figure.
The appellate court decided that a
husband cannot use eggs for belittlng
his wife and affirmed a decree Of d.

the doctors acts were as bad as II hs
