ROSARY OF GOLD NUGGETS
Knights Of Columbus Give Present &c
Cardinal Gibbons

Baltimore, Oct 16.-An interesting
feature in connection with today's cell
ebration OF the Cardinals golden jul
bilee was the presentation in the hall
Of the Knights of Columbus of the
rosary of nuggets OF gold.
The rosary was the gift of a miner
to Sister Mary Clare of St Johns, n
f., and was afterward bought by the
Knights of Columbus. Sister Mary
Clare will apply the purchase money
to the erection of a home for orphan
girls in ST. Johns
The Cardinal arrived within few
minutes Of the hour appointed for the
ceremonies and was accompanied to
his place by committee of honor. He
wore a black cassock bordered with
red and over this a light crimson
cloak. John H. Redding of Denver.
national director of the Knights. read
from a memorial volume an account
of the finding of the nuggets and of
their disposition afterward.
The touch OF pathos wanting to
complete the romance is unconscious
ly supplied by Sister Glare. For
many years she has been the victim
of disease that is slowly sapping
away her life Her constant prayer
is that she will be spared to see the
good work at least begun before she
is called away
Sister Clare who is engaged in
work among the poor fishermen's
daughters Of St Johns. received the
rosary as a Gift from a miner to
whom she had done some service
The entire rosary is of geld. The
beads are made from nuggets taken
from q placer mine in Alaska. The

FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Pull
BENNINGTON, VT. OCT. IS 1871

Probably the youngest licensed
hunter in the state is Philip George,
aged ten years, of Stowe. He is four
feet and one inch tall and weighs 56
pounds.-News Items
And if little Philip lived in the
state of New York he would have TO
wait four years before he could take
out hunters license. Ordinarily
New York has appeared to follow the
lead of other eastern states in pro-
gressive legislation but in two recent
instances, the fixing of an age limit
under which no boy can secure a
hunters license and the law prohib,
iting the carrying of revolvers with
out license, the Empire state has
quick-stepped up near the head oil
the procession.

Flying to the Pacific Coast

c. p. Rodgers, who is travelling
across country in the direction of the
Pacific coast in his aeroplane, is Civ
ing a remarkable exhibition OF the
usefulness of the heavier than air ma.
chine in competent hands, but wheth-
er he is breaking the record for long
distance flight is a matter of opinion.
1t is not possible to be dogmatic
about 1t one way or the other. Ac-
tual time of flying and the interval
between the start and arrival at a
point where a claim is made that
the long distance record is broken
can hardly be left out of considera-
ton IN estimating the merits of
cross country flying. If these things
are not to be taken into account then
an aviator who takes three months
to reach Lawrence, Kan, from New
York City has improved upon the per-
Torrance of a rival who reached Kan
sas City in thirty days.
Mr. Rodgers began his cross coun-
try journey ON September II, and at
the end of ten days was still in New
York State, owing to accidents to his
aeroplane, and to the fact that he
was under no compulsion to fly and
melted by no offer OF prize money to
attain any goal On October II.
twenty-seven days from the time OF
his start, he reaches Kansas City af-
ter flying 1883 miles. The time he
was actually in the air has not been
stated. Harry Atwood in laying a
course from St Louis to New York
city, 1865 miles in length, or 21S
miles less than the distance claimed
for Mr.. Rodgers, was eleven days in
reaching his destination and reported
2S hours and nine minutes as his time
OF actual flying Like his rival, Mr.
Atwood flew when he was in the hu.
NOR aud when the weather suited
him
These performances should be com.
pared with the achievement Of NJ. An.
DIRE Beaumont Lieutenant Conneau
OF the French navy who in race
with other aviators in England over
a course of 1910 miles from Brook
lands, near London. 10 Stirling. Scot
land, and return, was 22 hours rs
minutes 10 seconds in the air and
leaving designated stations at a pre-
scribed time finished first in the race
In less than four days: Nedrines. an
other French aviator. being one hour
nine minutes and AZ seconds behind
him. AS the contest was held under
the auspices and regulations OF the
Aero club the result constitutes an
official record
IL is said TO be the purpose of Mr.
Rodgers 10 continue his flights tow
ard the Pacific coast and endeavor tC
reach San Francisco. II he were sue
cessful II would be a remarkable. in
fact, an amazing performance. be

mountains winter will have set in

does not appear to be humanity pos

TO which the fragile aeroplane would
be exposed, The aviator might gC
