With greater glory now thy soul shall
shine
Shorn of its mortal habiliment of
clay,
Like precious ore brought from its
dark confine,
With all the baser substance fused
away.
Or, as a stately flower in gardens fair,
Crushed to the earth meath Times
relentless feet,
Gives forth a sweeter fragrance to
the air,
So now thy spirit-being is complete.
Or, as a harp, with some discordant
strings
Touched by the master hand of Art

Makes perfect music, as an angel

So now thy soul is harmony sublime

Next Friday night the 1st of a
series of games between Seelyville,
last years county champions and the
Rink Five, will be played at the
Rink. The rivalry between these two
teams is keen and as both are con-
fident of victory there promises to
be an exciting game.
The defeat of Mathewson in two
games has brought forward a group
of critics, who believe that Matty has
reached the parting of the ways with
the big leagues" says Jack"
Coombs. 'But it is a mistaken idea.
l believe that Matty is still as great
as he was when he carried the whole
pitching burden of the Giants. But
he cannot work with such frequency
as he did years ago. He must be
groomed and saved and not called
upon to pitch every second game.
Still, he Is good for twenty-five games
a season, and with any kind of a
break in luck he will win at least
eighteen of them"

RACE GOES ON.
Vedrine Covers 279 Miles in Three
Hours and 80 Minutes.

Paris, May 22.-Pierre Vedrine, I'M
dismayed by the wreck of his own ma
chine yesterday, just prior to the dis
aster in which the French minister of
war was killed. again started in the
Paris Madrid race early this morn
ing.
NJ. Train, who in trying to avoid
crashing into a squadron of Cuiras
sierS, galloping across the military
field, caused yesterdays tragedy, and
who was entitled, under the conditions
of the race to make another start in
the international flight contest an
nounced that he had no heart to do SO
because. of his terrible mishap. Four
other aviators, Weymann, Frey Gar
nier and Aerrept, also retired from the
race.
Vedrine at half past three this
morning took a preliminary flight
ineaux for the purpose of testing his
moter and then, at Ali o'clock rose
high in the air and disappeared swift
ly in the fog towards Angouleme, the
cheers when the aviator started on his
flight, the people seemingly being
stunned by the accident attending the
opening of the event. The crowd and
the Judges, however. remained on the
aviation field throughout the morning
and received kilograms from the Off
cial timekeepers along the route of the
flight.
Ne0r1ne arrived at AngOuleme at
7:50 O'Clock. having covered the 279
miles in hours and 80 minutes. The
running time of the Southern express
between Paris and Angouleme is 5
hours and 1S minutes.
The judges announced that Vedrine
had broken the record for the long dis
tance cross-country flight His time
was all the more extraordinary when it
was considered that the airman had
made a stop at Etampes. S. miles from
Paris, to regulate his motor The avn
ator arrived at Angouleme in good con-
dition though he suffered considera bly,
from the cold. NJ. Garros was the only
contestant out of yesterdays four start

astrophe on the Issy field decided to
proceed no further.

ing lost his way in a fog. Beaumont

NO VALID COAL CLAIMS.
In Alaska, 200 Have Been Investigated
and Turned Down.

Seattle. Wash. May 22.-Final report
has been made by the field division of
the general land Office on 700 of the HOO
Alaska coal claims, and notice of the
findings will be sent to the claimants
in due course.
The contents of the report have not
been made public, but the whole situa-
ton may be summarized as follows:
So far as known, none of the claims
in the various Al -skan coal fields has
been found valid. In the Tanana field.
all the locations have been cancelled
because no application for patents was
made. In the Cape Lisburne field,
where a bluff of coal overhangs the
shore of the Arctic ocean. all but two
of the locations have been cancelled.
The remaining 400 entries are now
under investigation, which is progress
ing as rapidly as circumstances will
permit. This condition of affairs, land
office officials say, is a sufficient reply
to the charge that the government is
delaying the opening of the Alaska coal
claims.
In a number of the coal claim groups
remaining to be investigated, the claim
ants have declined to be interviewed
by special agents Of the general land
office and also, according to these Off
Gals. have refused to furnish any in
formation concerning their entries. The
work of investigation, it is said. has
been greatly delayed by these refusals
of information.
In the indictments returned by United
States grand juries at Detroit, Chicago,
Spokane and Tacoma against the pro-
lnoters of various Alaska coal groups
charges are made that large groups OF
coal claims in Alaska are controlled by
q few persons and that the individual
locators have no interest whatever in
the claims. 1t is alleged in the indict-
ments that most of the claimants are
dummies" whose names were used to
secure title to valua BILE coal lands and
enable the promoters to speculate in

altogether and it dashed violently into

the wreckage of the monoplane lay

+ scene of frightful confusion fol-
lowed. From all parts of the field
arose cries of alarm and disTnay and
tens of thousands of persons broke
through the lines and moved toward
the scene. The cavalry, by repeated
charges, managed to clear the field
and the injured men were given first
aid treatment by field surgeons. 1t
was seen that Mr.. Berteaux was fatal
~ hurt and that M. Monis was seri-
usly injured. After the ministers had
been cared for the surgeons dressed the
wounds of those who had received
minor bruises.
There were various versions as
to the cause of the accident, but all
seem agreed that it occurred with such
rapidity there was no time for M. Ber-
teaux, M. Monis and the others to
escape.
M. Hersand, a nephew of former
Premier Dupuy, whose newspaper, the
Petit Parisien, arranged the race, said:
m. BerteauX was just asking me
who would be the next started, and l
was consulting my program to answer
him, when, glancing upW ard, saw the
monoplane plunging and careening to-
ward US.
Look out,' 1 cried, and the next
instant the wing of the aeroplane
saw the minister of war lying in

ribly crushed and blood was flowing
from a cut in his throat

downward. thought him dead. M.

NJ Monis, jr., said he thought he
saved his fathers life by pushing him
violently to the ground the moment ne
saw the machine plunging through the
air. The ministerial party was hid
den from the pilots view by de-
tachment of cuirassiers. In avoiding
these. Train crashed down upon the
group like a bolt from the sky.
M. Dupuy imm ediately after the dis
aster gave out word that the race had
been suspended. M. Lepinc issued a
formal order to that effect, saying it
would be impossible to continue, for a
large part of the aviation field was
covered by vast crowds.
