Glenn Hammond CIrtiss.

Glenn Hammond sCurfiss, the avia- tor and inventor of the waterplane, was born at Hamnondsport. N. Y-. thirty-six years ago to-day. MT. Cur. tiss has devoted much attention in the Hast year to the problems presented by a transatlantic fight and he con- siders it not at all improbable that the $5o. .o0O prize offered by the Lon don Mail for axo-aeropIane trip across the Atlantic may be won be- fore the year is over. MT. Curtiss favors a descent in the course of the journey from Ireland to Newfound land for the purpose of obtaining gas-l oline and other supplies from liner.
 He said that one American who was preparing for the feat would attempt however. to cover the distance in thirty-six hours without stop. Mr. Curtiss has been involved in long legal battle with the Wright inter- ests. The suit was begun in BuffaIo in 1909 when the Wright brothers sought to restrain Curtiss and his company from misunderstanding their machines on the ground that they were infringernents of the Wright pat ents. The contention of the Wright company was upheld by the United States circuit court of appeals early this year.

Mabel TaIiaferro.


 Miss Mabel Taliaferro, the accom- pIished actress, who Is Mrs Thomas J. Carrigan off the stage. is a native of New Fork city and was born twenty y-sever years ago to-day in a house not very far from Broadway. Miss Taliaferro and her gifted sister, Edith, recently appeared as co-stars in ssY oung Wisd or, ,s,-the first star ring tour of sisters since the days of the BateMan sisters who appeared in society dramas some forty years ago. Sister acts are common in vau- devilIe, but it is very seldom that there is enough dramatic talent in one family to enable sisters to play as joint stars on the metropolitan legiti- mate stage. Before their recent en- gagement Mabel TaIiaferro starred in
 ssSprin gtifne, T, and Miss Edith had a very successful season in London with her own company playing Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm 2
 Miss Mabel TA1iaferro's first mat rimonial alliance was with Frederick creator of Luna-pr onounced Looney Park at Coney Island. They were married in 1906 and divorced in 1913. I4ast June the lovely widow became the spouse of her leading man, Tom Carrfgan. The ceremony was per- formed in an idylIic and romantic spot in the deep woods near Lapeer, Mich. MT. Thomp pson also found consolation for his bruised heart by marrying a New ork rnodiste, SeIene Pitcher. Mir. Thompson admitted to the reporters that the wed ding was the result of a boy-and-girl love affair. He ex- plained that while a student at the University of Nashville he we'll in love with the chance1Ior's pretty daughter. She tilted him, and he went to the present Mrs. Thompson for consola- ton. They drifted apart however. but after the culmtnation in the di- piness of MT. Thompson and Miss Ta- Iaferro the former turned again to the sweetheart of his youth. and was not refused the balm he sought for his poor, bleeding heart. Miss Taliaferro was mere che-ild |swhen she made her first appearance on the stage, and played juvenile roles with Chauncey OIcott, James A. Herne, and other stars and near stars. She made her first pronounced hit at the age of twelve as Esther in s'The Children of the Ghetto ? After sew eral minor successes and a year spent in study she was engaged to create the role of Loyey5 Mary in Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.'' She remained in that part for two years and a half. At eighteen she support ed Arnold Daily in You Can Nevor

Steel Rails.

SLGGl 1NdllS. 55gs9 The first modern steel rails. of the
 type which made hfgh-speed railway
 operation possible. were designed by PIimmon Henry Dudley, who was
 born at Freedom, @0., seventy one
 years ago to-day. He. became a civ il and netallurgical engineer. and af- ter four years as chief engineer of the
 city of Akron. O.,he turned his at tention to railroading and tranHpor- tation problems. His first invention. the dynograpa. was made In 1874. He perfected the track indicator in 1880, and three years later designed the first hve-inch steel rail used in America. Tn 1892 he introduced the first six-fnch 100-pound rails. Anotll5 l CT of his inventions which made the l famous flyers of to-day possible was the stremmatosraph. an instru- ment for obtaining and registering strains in rails under moving trains. Dudley gained an internationaI repu- tationsa as the worlds foremost author ity on the subject of steel rails. and was delegate to the 1nternational
 Railway Congress held in Paris in Ii900.

THE DEATH OF REV. FATHER McELRoY

T~HE DEATH of Father Charles J. McElroy
 1 leaves gap difficult to be filed He. was 8 priest of devoted quality, to whom the spiritual facts of life were an ever present real ity. An excellent administrator, and one who kept his parish always in order, he yet was less an executive than pastor, and more apostle than disciplinarian and organizer.
 He was such as inspires faith in the faithless hope in the hopeless and respect in the minds of those little given to reverence.
 Teaching the truths Of religion and belev- ing in what he taught, he was enabled to in spires many with religious feeling. gained much for the church, did much for humanity and de- served much of his fellow men
 Never physically robust man, he did more than the body permitted though less than his own strong soul craved to do. He died in the ripe heyday of his mental and spiritual pow CTS, through the inability of his human frame to carry the burdens he laid upon it.

recently pulled off by old Ma'am
Celie" Duke, who lives on MIR T j
Phillips place. She had been COM
planning of the hag' riding her at
night, so to shy this she devil'
away, she put half dollar of silver
money in her mouth and soon after
fell into a somnolent slumber and
thence into a fast sleep. Then the
hag got astride for an evenings ride
and down went the money into the
old woman's throat as far as nature
could send it by the swallowing
process, and there it lodged. DR. E
T Kelley was summoned and sue
ceeded in passing it through the
esophagus into the stomach. At
present the ancient dame is feeling
"porely", but appears to be quite

the highest praises for the very cor

that place, who made every effort to
give them a most pleasant day while
among them. Notwithstanding it
was hot and dusty, Saturday morn
ing when our team left here en-
route for Nesmith they had quite a
number of lady friends to make the
trip there to see them keep up the
record of coming off victorious. The
morning game was closely contested,
quick and spirited, with Benson in
the lead when the last inning was
played.
Then came that delicious spread
of good things to eat and every ball
player had a coming appetite.
This bountiful supply of edibles
must have been Nesmith's trump
card, for in the afternoon the game
was slow and the home team piled
up scores on the visitors to their sat-
isfaction.
The rub game will be played at
Benson Saturday, June Is, when a
lively time is expected. w S.
