Von Abercron feared that they were passing entirely beyond the lines of civilization and it was that reason that prompted hin® to land. Colonel Schaelck of the Helvetia came down for the same reason. He had enough ballast to last forty-eight hours, he said. Tt had been generally believed that the balloons couid not have been kept afloat later than Wednesday. night, but the evidence of Von Aber- cron and Schaeick has exploded this theory, and if the America II kept them company on the journey into the far north her crew may still be struggling through the almost impassable forests of the Ungava district, many hundrad miles from succor. ‘Dusseldorf Il Landed Wednesday. A despatch from Kiskisink indicates that G. B. Gericke, pilot, and Samuel F. Perkins, aide, of the Dusseldorf II, also endured severe privations.

FREE ACADEMY ¢ 5 BUILDING FUND Those Who Have Gontributed Form Small Part of Those Who Have Been Benefited. No better philanthropic work can be done than by making a contribution to the Bulletin's Free Academy build- ing fund, which is to be used toward the cost of the new building, ‘so as to avoid the inroads into the invest- ed funds, which it will mean unless the full amount is raised. There have been contributions previous to the fund to the amount of $52,000, and to the fund of nearly 32,000, so that there remains $46,000 more to be raised. All Norwich, and many besides, have been benefited by the finstitution, which has been the leading educational insti- tution east of the Connecticut river in this state since it was started over a half-century agé. Today it saves the town from the expense of main- taining a high school. The contribu- tions are as follows to date: Contr/ utions. Norwich Mornic g Bulletin. . Charles H. and Lucius Brown....

A, B. Hall. In T. A. B. hall Dr. Blumer gave a lecturs to a large number Saturday upon the wonderful cures by the psy- chopathic dodtors. No matter how bad the case may be of rheumatism, blind- ness and deafness, as well as ma) other affections, a wonderful benefit if not cure is promis=d. There have been many excellent resulis accredited to the psychopathic doctors. Referring to Mrs. Nightingale of No. 106 Summit street, he said that up to last Monday she couid not even get a meal for her husband and family’ and | had to have her feet elevated on = | chair at all times. She had been treat- | ed by local doctors and had been at the hospital here at various times. Her| case of inflammatory rheumatism is | now nearly cured. She comes into th 2ll nearly well and tells her ow as she tells it. She| can attend to her household duties and the imorovement is a revelation to her neighbors and herself. Another remarkable case is that of a man named Privee of Baltic. who told | the audlence that he could not take a step without his cane, in which con- dition he was for &ixteen months, until he callad on the psychopathic docto: He has now abandoned his cane and is going back to work. The doctors are to give a big demon- | stration Wednesday evening. A STRAW HAT Caused a Foreigner No Small Amount of Guying Sunday.

Cornelius Sullivan, Following a lingering illness, Cor- nelius Sullivan passed away Saturday arternoon at his late home in Meridian | street, New London. Mr. Sullivan was | born in Irelana, but had lived in this country for a long number of years, residing in Norwich for a while, and for several years past in Now London. He was well known in this city, where he had a large number of friends. He is survived by eight children, ®even’ daughters, Mrs. James = Foley, Mrs, B. A. Hawthorn and the Misses Nora, Julia, Katherine, Margaret and Lillian’ Sullvan, and a’son, T. J. Sul- livan. A sister, Amelians, who is in St. Catherine's 'convent in Hartford, also survives.

New York, Oct. 23.~There were two smashups, no flights and 7,500 disap- pointed spectators at the second day of the international aviation meet at Belmont Park, L. L. The wind was so strong_that only two aviators, Gra- hame-White and Moissant, cared to dare it and both of them_came to grief, though without personal injur- es. Layout of Course Not Satisfactory to Frenchmen. : But much as the management r gretted to send away a good crowd, it was more concerned with the dissatis- faction of the threc Frenchmen for the Gordon-Bennett speed race, Alfred Leblanc, the champion cross-country flier of France; Emile Aubrun, his pupil, and the only aviator who fin- ished with him in the recent circuit De I'ist, and Hubert Latham, all com- plaining’ that the course is not laid out according to the rules of the Fed- eration Jggernationale, and Leblanc wrote to'$he Aero club of France ten days ago,lasking if the French téam should compete. They expect instruc- tions by eable tomorrow or the day after, at the latest. The other four Frenchmen here to compete for the altitude, duration and distance prizes are not affected. but the Gordon-Bennett is the red-letter event of the aeronautic calendar. It brought the international cup to this country and with it this, the second international meet in the history of aviation. To have the I'rench cracks default would tob the tournament of more than half its interest and so far as its most important event is con- cerned of all its compptitive zest. What the Frenchmen Contend. The course for the cup is five kilo- metres long and must be circled twen- ty times. It is called the outer course because in the far turns it continues beyond the inner course of 2.5 kilo- metres, used for the hourly speed con- tests each day, The Frenchmen contend that the rules of the Federaiton Internationale prescribe a course on which any avi- ator may alight at' any time and wherever he chosses. They say that, because of the proximity of the sta- bles and the interference of the trees, they would not be free to alight for repairs as they are privileged to do under, the rules and that the house mentioned above stands so close to one of the pylons that the aviasor has on= 1y thirty yards in which to pass be- tween the two. Kurthermore, they point out that a racing monoplane, driven by a 100-horsepower engine, has to take the turns so wide that would pass over the roof of the randstand, which is an “infringement of the rules and disqualifies the avia- tor. Latham stood Mumm, his'managi tions in English. “Whst do you think about it?” Latham was asked. He re- plied in a volley of impetuous French and his hearers understood him to say “Do you want me to commit suicide?” But Mr. Mumm, as_interpreter, ex plainted that what he intended was more nearly to be translated after this wise: “If I should tell you gen- ilemen half of what I think about ihe course it would be equivalent to committting suicide,” or at the least to murdering all the niceness of La Politesse. \ Waiting Advices from France. James A. Blair, one of the aviation managers, admitted that he had heard some mutterings from fhe French- men, but added that nothing had been submitted in writing and that no no- tice would be paid to informal com- munications of any sort. And there the matter stands until advices from Paris_determine decisive action from the French camp. When the bomb and bugle sounded for the first distance event this after- by while Walter - exnounded objec | noon, the official code signal gave the wind at from twenty to twenty-five miles an hour and it was freshenging every minute. The sky was clear and it was painfully cold. Four starters were announced but after eight min- utes’ delay only Grahame-White and oissant came out. White rose cau- tiously. He needed all his caution, for even at a height of not more than for- ty feet he pitched like a ship In a torm and in alighting careened 5 to one side and splinters went fI into the air. His whirring propelier had touched and both blades were smashed to flinders. Moissant’s Machine Smashed. Moissant never got off the ground, but his machine was much more badly hurt. The wind picked it out of the hands of the mechanics and let it fall again. Both his planes were crum- pled, his rubber broken and his crank shaft beni. White said his damage could be repaired in a couple of hours. Moissant hoped to have his machine repaired next Tuesday. Thirty Miles an Hour Wind. After these two accidents the code Sgnal, “Wind a littie too gtrong, went up on the announcement board. By this time it was a stiff whole-sail breeze, rated at 25 to 30 miles an hour and though the official automobile raced over to the hangars, not an avi- ator came out. The Wright team, Hox- sey, Brookins and Johnstone, were all willing and anxious to fly, but Wilbur Wright allowed none of his men to go out. More. Trouble for the Aviators. New York, Oct. 23.—The following letter was sent to all the aviators to- day, signed by William Ellison, a. con- suiting and examining surveyor: “Dear Sir—As you are probably aware, the promoters of the aviation meet are provoking the antagonism of owners of adjoining property by erect- ing canvas screens designed to block the view of your flights by said owners of said property. “Now, this is to notify you that T am instructed and gm amply ‘supplied with means, if these ‘obstructions are not at once removed, to ‘block vour fBghts if attempted at any but a very consider- able elevation over these properties,and I will be regretfully compelled to do 80 by legitimate and scientific means.” Senator Aldrich’s Condition Improved. _New York, Ogt. 28.—The condition of United States Senator Nelson W.

FLUSHED WITH VICTORY The Troops Are Showing Extreme In- dependence—Impatient to Gather the Fruits of the Victorious Revolution. Lisbon, Oct. 23—The republican gov- ernment is somewhat uneasy over the attitude of the regiments which made the revolution possible. Although not openly insubordinate, the soldiers, flushed with victory, are showing ex- treme independence, and are cham- ploning the maintenance of strong power in the hands of the military. Danger of a Military Rebellion. The government's real reason for granting leave of absence for most of the soldiers who took part in the up- rising,- with full pay; is the desire to break up. the. regiments temporarily and remove the danger.of a military Tebellion. The majority of the sol- diers, however, have refused to accept the offer, saying that they were not to be duped by the deceptive liberality of the cabinet. The minister of war visited the barracks and pleaded the necessity of patience gnd forbearance during the trying moment of the re- public. The attitude of the military. includes e First artillery @nd the Sixteenth infantry, in addiiton to a battalion of marines, is being adopted by the militant civil revolutionists who are impatient to gather the fruits of their triumph. On the other hand the monarchist of- fice holders who have sworn allegiance to the republic insist upon retaining | their positions. Separation of the Church and Stai The minister of justice is framing a bill looking to the separation of the church and state. The republican press declares that the presence of Monsignor Masella, whom Monsignor Tonti, the papal nuncio, left on guard at the nunciature, when he departed for Lome, is a parallel case to that ©of Monsignor Montagnini, ex-secretary of the papal nunciature at Paris, who was expelled from France, and insists that, like Montagnini, Monsignor Ma- sella should be expelied. A decree will be published in the Official Journal tomorrow providing for the laicisation of all the schools and subjecting to the penal code all priests attacking the government. which JUDGE BALDWIN DENIES STATEMENTS BY ROOSEVELT Made in a Speech at Concord Satur- day. . New Haven, Conn., Oct. 23.—Judgo Simeon E. Baldwin tonight-denied ever having made the statements, attribut- ed to him by Theodore Rooseveit in a speech at Concord, N. H.. Saturday. In his speech Colonel Roosevelt is al- leged to have said in speaking of the workingmen's comgensation act: “The democratic “party of Connec- ticut have nominated for governor a man who whide judge occupied the most retrogressive possible position on this question of workingmen's com- pensation, a man who took the viey that it was competent for the work- ingman, when driven to accept any | employment, to bind himself not to | be compensated. if he lost life and limb | in_that occupation.
