CODY MONOPLANE
 WRECKED BY COW

London August s.--tSpecial.)-Mr S. F. Cody's monoplane has had but a short life. Launched on it's first trials four weeks ago, it astonished everyone by its great speed and easy handling. The other evening. when a rapid descent was made on Laffans Plain, after a successful fight a COW ran under the aerop1ans, which struck the animal. The machine was badly smashed, and the COW was killed. Mrs Cody was thrown clear Of the wreckage and luckily escaped
 The monoplane was built on quite new principles. It was shaped like a huge dart, and was propelled by an engine of 129' horsepower, the propeller being geared up to a great speed. Mfr. Cody had designed and built it for the war of flee competitions next month. but he does not think he will be able to reconstruct 1t in time.

ONE MEAL A DAY

London, August 3.-(Special.) )-The ec- centric Dr. Fordyee. we'll known pro- lessor of chemistry of the 18th century, believed that man required only one meal Q day, and for 20 years he practiced what he preached. At four, the Daily Chroni- cle states, he would present himself at Dolly's chop house in Paternoster-row, and immediately upon his arrival the cook would place a pound and half of rump steak upon the gridiron. While 1t was cooking the doctor would amuse him self with some such trihe as half boiled caron or plate of fish, and a glass or two of brandy. Then came the steak, with full accompaniment of bread and po- tatoes and a quart tankard of strong ale. This was followed by bottle of old port, after which he would stroll to his rooms in Essex street, where he met his class and gave lectures on chemistry.

lrrange those 1OoO voters In table:

Total ............................ HUI
 Assuming that this ratio of the distri- button of the republican vote in the state of New York will hold good 1t will be seen that Governor Wilson will take from the republican strength and add to the democrats 13,200 votes out of every 100000 votes boiled for Taft in 1908. If the third party has separate set of electors for the state of New York, and the vote for Roosevelt holds to anything approximate ly close to the test vote taken in this case Taft will lose New York by over half million vQtes But even should they make a compromise and fuse the electors, as has been proposed in Pennsylvania, and taking the vote of the last presidential election as a basis, then Wilson will win over both his opponents, combined vote by close to 200. 900 majority.
 Under the state laws of New York t will be next to impossible for an arrange ment to be effected whereby the electoral vote may be delivered to either Roosevelt or Taft, providing the common electors selected by them receive plurality over the democratic electors, and at the same time the voters showing their preference for the one or the other as between Taft and Roosevelt. Roosevelt is experiencing some trouble In even getting his electors on the ticket in New York, and should the bull moose party adopt plan Of vot- ing for common electors with the republi cans, wherever it can be done, 1t will not be effective In New York.
 Roosevelt himself is very much opposed to this plan. He wants to cut loose en- tirely from the old party and build up new one from the discontents in the two old parties. He declares that the populist was failure largely because it was not content to fight its battles alone, but fused with either of the old parties wherever there was a chance to win thereby.
 He is opopsed in thls by the "bosses" in various states. and 1t remains to he seen whether the Colonel is a big enough boss to run the steam roller over the bosses who have taken service under his flag in his convention in Chicago.
 Right now the democrats are hoping that Colonel wins out and succeeds In cutting his ship entirely free from the republicans, for this programme, if con- sistently followed by the bull moose crowd would be great contributing fac tor to democratic success. They are will ing to take chances on Roosevelt's claim that he is going to break Into the solid south and build up strong party there fin opposition to the party in control, and they are wishing him every success in his avowed intention of stumping the south ern states with this end in view.

GAINS BY GOV. WILSON
By C. E. STEWART

Washington, August 3.-(Special. )-Straw votes and the polling of certain precincts and communities are sometimes ridiculel as a poor and unreliable method Of se- curing a general idea of public senti- ment But it must be admitted that the records of such a method of finding out in advance how certain counties and states might go in elections. as conducted by the big newspapers, have been success full to a marked degree, and the wise ones who decry it are usually those who are lined up on the wrong side of the prediction.
 The remarkable success that the big newspapers of New York have had h the past two or three general elections In naming the successful candidates far in advance, based entirely upon the results obtained from such a campaign as men toned Is beginning to create a whole- some respect for this method of prog nostication.
 Last week the editor of the New York Press sent private letters to republican voters. selected a. random from readers on it's mail subscription lists and not hv- ing in New York city. or other large cities The main part of the letters was
 For which of the following do you in tend to vote:
 Taft.
 Wilson.
 Roosevelt.
 Are you in favor of the plan proposed by the former President of breaking up the present republican party and forming new one
 For whom did you vote in 190S?' Of the 1000 first replying virtually all voted for MT. Taft four years ago. Of the 1000 replying 442 said they would vote for MT. Taft this year, 335 for MT. Roose- velt 132 for MT. Wilson, and 91 said they would not vote at all or were undecided.
 Most of those declaring they would vote for Mir. Wilson gave as their reason their disgust with republican sfactionalism. Some were voting for him as the surest way, In their judgment, to defeat the Col onel and prevent him from breaking up the republican party Some of those in the not-voting class said they might vote for MT. Taft or MT. Wilson if it became necessary, in their Judgment, to do this to prevent the Colonel from breaking up their party. Some of those recording themselves for MT. Taft lamented his nomination. but would vote for him to prevent the Colonel from breaking up their party.

Preparing For
The Certain Growth.

Recent Mardi Gras crowds and the
increasing tourist travel show conclu-
sively that Pensacola is going to lose
yearly unleEs something is done u
take care Of these crowds. There was
a time when the San Carlos hotel was
not needed; later the new hotel was
large enough to amply take care of al
the increasing travel. but that time is
past, and unless something is done
people win be forced to stay away
from Pensacola next year for the lack
of hotel accommodations.
Other Florida cities are not neglect
ing this important part OF city build
ing. They realize that hotel accom-
modations must be adequate at all
seasons to take care Of the traffic or
it win go to other sections.
Nothing advertises a city better
than good hotel service. and so far
Pensacola has been advertised to ad-
vantage on account of the excellent
one can be built the demand viii be
here for another one ten or twelve
stories in height. Tourist travel is
with us now six months in the year
and the new railroads building to Pen
sacola which viii be completed within
q year viii more than double the COM
mercial travel.
In planning for bigger and better
Pensacola, ample hotel facilities ought
not to be lost sight of. In the mean
time, the sixth floor of the San Carlos
should be finished In the very near
future, and work on it should begin at
once.

Eatin' I'm
Alive.

John Graft, president o. the Ala
bama Oyster Commission. says oysters
should not be eaten alive and that
putting hot sauces upon them and
piercing the freshly shocked. delicious
morsels with a fork is nothing more
nor less than cruelty to animals. Tell
ing the oysters tale of woe. Mr.. Graft
says:
The poor chump Of an oyster seems
to be in bad. 1t has as much life and
feeling as any animal. It deserves the
same sympathy as should be shcwn a
human biting. lust imagine the excru-
ciating pain the oyster experiences
put on the table. and the diner. after
pouring sauces and salt and pepper
upon 1t, pierces 1t with a double
pronged lance.
A fresh oyster that has just died is
better than one still alive. This is
explained by simple and wen under
stood natural laws. Humane persons
as well as those acquainted with food
hygiene, readily will see the reason Of
this.
That oysters have some sense OF
feeling We all know. but we rather
doubt that an All Wise Creator gave
them nerves which entitIe them to be
given the same sympathy az shown to
human beings.
AS delectable as Pensacola oysters
are. If they really have nerves and are
subject to pain few persons would
care for them to eat, but we have en-
idea that the Alabama man has pre-
sumed too much in this instance.
We call on Gus Soderiind for the
facts.
