FIRST FLYER DEAD.

Wilbur Wright, the airship inventor
died at Dayton. Ohio, Friday morn
ing. Of typhoid fever.
Wilbur Wright, with his brother,
orville dreamed Of building a craft
that would dart through the air with
the speed OF a hawk, that would defy
the storm. that would transform the
art of warfare and revolutionize
methods of transportation. In the
nine years that followed their first
successful test at Kitty Hawk, N. c.,
they have seen their aeroplane driv-
en- more than two miles up into space
have heard the purr of their ma
chimes as they whirled on their way
across the continent, and have
watched great crowds stand aghast
in anticipation as a graceful bi-plane
scared threateningly over the fighting
mast OF giant warship which might
have been sent careening to destruc-
ton by a bomb from the tiny ma
chine lowering above It.
When death smote Wilbur, he and
his brother still were dreaming of
further achievements, their interest
being centered in the making of
that would possess greater
ability and increased carrying power.
They had the good sense, however,
70 let the other fellow do the flying.

then Kern proposed as a substitute

announced that he would accept the
Craftsmanship, and the convention
went wild.

BRUNSWICK MADE
A CALLING PORT
PANAMA. BOUND VESSELS ARE
TO STOP BY HERE TO TAKE
ON MAIL MATTER.

Brunswick is to be one of the two
south Atlantic coast seaports to be
made calling ports for Panama bound
mail, which, in short, means that
steamers carrying mail, bound from
various ports to Panama will call by
at this port at stated intervals, prob
ably once a week to receive mail des-
tined to Panama.
This matter was first taken up by
the Retail Merchants and Business
Mems association over a year ago,
and Congressman Brantley was re-
quested tC lcok after Brunswick's in
terest and make this place calling
port if possible The congressman
at once went to work, with the result
that Brunswick is to be one of the
ports and Charleston the other, at
which the Panama bound steamers
will step for mail. Advertisements
for proposals are now oeing published
and the requirements Of the contract
call for stops at both the ports men
toned.
In view of the fact that Savannah,
az usual, has put up strenuous kick
and is making every possible effort
to have the plans changed, making
that port a stopping point, the Re
tail Merchants and Business Mems
association yesterday wired Congress-
man Brantley, congratulating him on
his success and urging him TO see
that no change in the present plans
arc made.
Brunswick's new board of trade, at
its organization meeting las night,
lso took up the question, and similar
kilograms will be forwarded to the
congressman today.

one of the greatest efforts of his life,
and was rounded out from start to

kerchiefs, threw hats into the air
and shouted temselves hoarse.
The band finally drowned them out
and when the enthusiasm finally sub
sided Bryan launched into his speech
recalling his old time form Of sin
cerity which has swayed conventions
in the past.
Mr.. Bryan first stated that he had
worked hard for harmony, put that
the national committee did not seem
to want it. He lauded Kern as a
man who had stood by him in his
fight for the people for the pas six
teen years. He said that the lrinci-
pies for which they had been fighting
though scorned at first, are now re-
spected by both democrats and re-
bublicans, because the common peo-
pie have forced them to do so.
The speaker was interrupted occas-

there was some disorder Thomas
