MORMONS Latter Day Snints Change the Loca- tion of Their P Grounds, For several days strong pressure has been brought by the Unifon park people and the managers of the races there to get the Lat- ter Day Saints to release their claim upon the park, or at least the portion of It now used for racing and stabling the horses. An offer was made to them to use the fifteen acre grove that is enclosed by a high board fence and entirely cut off from tho tra:k. The matter was finally settled erday by the church people voluntarily releasing their claim upon the park and accepting the offer of Colonel Reed to go to Manawa. Colonel Reed mado them a proposition to turn over the Grand Pliza to them free of charga and to put on enough trains to carry all the people who desire to go down. The offer includes all the buildings in the plaza and grounds for stabling all horses that may be brought, and all the room necessiry for the tents of campers. The offer was ac- cepted at once and the meetings will be held on the lake front. The pavilion will be en- closed by canvas and will be used for the meetings. The race track peonle agreed to pay for the electric lights, and their propo- sitfon will be accepted. The only change that will _be required will be the ere:tion of a number of sheds for horses, and that work will be commencad tolay, so that by Thurs- day, when the meetings begin, there will be ample accommodations for all the teams that may arrive.

Phelps has just returned from Chlcago, where he heard of an opportunity of securing a sugar beet factory if the farm- ers of Pottawattamle county are willing to subscribe to a bonus, which is to consist en- tirely of land. The man at the back of the scheme 1s a French capitalist, who s now in Chicago. His plan, it seems, is to securo grants of land In forty-acre pieces, which shall become the property of the company 80 loug as the factory shall be kept running. Land to the value of $150,000 is to be fur- nished in this way and the company will plant it in beets. “A plant to cost $400,000 Wil then be bullt and operated. No direct proposition of this sort has been secured, but the French capitalist, it is understood, 18 a generous sort of fellow and will be will- ing to make one. The scheme has been laid before a number of prominent business men, some of whom think the benefit to the farm- ers of the county in increased market for a valuable commodity would be sufficient to pay them for the portion of their land which they would give up to the company. Cor- espondence has been commenced with a view to finding out upon just what terms the en- terprise could be secured for Council Bluffs, and If a favorable reply is recelved the Mer- chants and Manufacturers assoclation will probably be called upon to do something, GVE UP TO THE RAC EXCURSION, DBURLINGTON ROUTE, $10.75. $16.75, $10.75.

A Men of Thirty Years Ago Meet with Hustlers of The hoary headed Young Men's Christian assoclation boys of thirty years ago and the boys of a gencration later held a meet- 1ng at the assoclation rooms yesterday. The former indulged in a ot of interesting remn- inle and even whea the hour was audience refused to be dismissed, calling aloud for others to speak. , the secretary, presided over and the first part of the ex- e much the same as on ordinary Mitchell singlng a song entitied in addition to the usual hymns pentug remarks Mr. Curtls stated that In the early years of the organization, about the time the boys In blue were res turning from the wer, many of the honored business men of the city were enrolled, and it the association of today sends out as noble a band of men as the old, he would be sat- isfled. There were two things he invied the old assoclation, and they were, first, the noble manhood, and second, the noble library. Much Interest had been manifested among the smaller boys of the association as to what this meeting was to b like. Some of them inquired whether the '65 boys would do turns on the bars. He replied, while smothering a smile at the thought of Brother Bloomer on the parailsl bars, Brother Dodge clambering hand over hand along the ladder, and Captain Hight doing the high kick, that in the old days the association had 'no gymnasium, and the meeting would only be a gospel one. 3 Secretary Curtis sald further’ that the average attendance at the meetings during the past three months had been between 110 and 120, which was equivalent to a mixed audience of 500 or 600 at the usual ratio of men and women In such audiences, Sat- urday night there were fifty men and boys at_the rooms, some of them playing games, others enjoying the music in the parlors, and still others reading the papérs and maga- zines. A lot of them wers exercising in the gymnasium, and the bath rooms were full. Ninety baths were furnished last Saturday, and the secretary thought that if the asso- ciation did not another thing than keep thosa ninety fellows clean, it had fulfilled a large part of its mission. Seated around the north end of the room were quite a company of representatives of the association of '65, whose hoary heads contrasted strongly, with the younger faces about them. Among them were: D. B. Clark, Rev. G. G. Rice, Rev. T. F. Thick- stun, D. C. Bloomer, Josiah Fisk, J. H. Westcott, Captain B. W. Hight, A.'S. Bon- ham, Dr. E. I. Woodbury, J. Mueller and others. After a few remarks by Rev. Mr. Thick- stun, who was the first called out, D. C. Bloomer gave some interesting facts in con- nection with the early history of the asso- ciation. It was organized December 14, 1867, in the Empire block, across the street from the quarters it now occupies. A library was formed by contributions from the various members and Henry Delong installed as librarian. In 1869 the building and the con- tents, including the precious library, were all burned. In 1871 the second edition of the association was started in a room at 374 Broadway, on the site occupied now by N. P. Dodge's of- fice. After it had been operated here for some time the library was turned over to the newly formed library association, and the Young Men's Christian assoclation ftself grad- ually dropped out of sight, after taking up a temporary abode in the Woodbury building, on_the present site of the Grand hotel. J. Mueller then made some remarks, after which Rev. G. G. Rice described his early tribulations while trying to run a Congrega- tional church in the midst of a hotbed of Mormonism. The first Mormon meeting he attended was presided over by Elder Orson Hyde. There was some excellent singing, some of the best orthodox hymns being sung. A good share of the service, however, was taken up with the reading of secular notices, such as announcements of the sale of real es- tate and the like, which rather grated on his orthodox nerves. ' Elder Hyde preached a ser- mon that was full of surprises to his gentile listener, saying, among other things, that it the ‘curtain could be drawn aside God would be found to be just such a man as any of the men present. ~He also said that he himselt expected to be a God some day and make & world. Henry Delong made one of his characteris- tie speeches, recalling the war days, when he used to get even with his fellow soldiers who swore by flopping down on his knees and praying. He said he had as good a right to pray in public as they had to swear in pub- lic, and acted accordingly, a unanimous vote that he was right having been first taken by lis comrades. One day John Dunn was ar- rested for something or other and sentenced to hold up the fifth wheel of a cannon for awhile, When he was through the ordeal he expressed his opinion of army rules in words that were plentifully sprinkled with a picturesque style of profanity. Delong dropped to his knees and said: “Dear Lord, help us to be good for Jesus' sake, but don't hear John's prayer, for if You do he'll be a goner. Amen,” He followed up this little anecdote with a talk as interesting as it was original, and the meeting was closed by a few short talks by various members. AT THE BROADWAY CHURCH, 01d settlers’ day was observed at the Broad- way Methodist church in place of the regular morning services. The church was well filled, many snowy heads showing above the backs of the front pews. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Dudley, referred with much feeling to the number of old people present and the many more who were too feeble to come to church. He also referred to the fact that there were very few who had been raised in the church and had grown old in the consolation of Christian faith who felt that age was a bur- den, The faithful Christian does not feel that he has outlived his usefullness and has little left but to die. Thelr lives are full of beauty and usefulness. “Give me the con- sciousness,” #ald he, “that I am still useful and I will be happy.”” He referred to the ripe old age that had blessed Dr. Raymond of the Garrett Biblical institute, where o many of the Methodist ministers had re- ceived their clerical training. After more than 84 years he is still active and vigorous in the discharge of his duties. Bishop: Tay- lor, the great African missionary, was another instance of a ripe and blessed old age, whose life of four score years had not decreased his usefulness. Rev. C. Hoover was one of the speakers whose head was silvered, but whose spirit was as strong and buoyant as ever. He did not deprecate the coming of age. He was learning to love the perfect ripening brought. He pleaded for the honoring of old age. “The world today,” said he, “is not what we have made it, but what our fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers made for us. We have come into a heritage left by them.” He detalled in a very interesting manner the trials of an early day Methodist circuit rider. When he left the old log cabin that had been his home since childhood and went forth into the world his own man his earthly possesslons amounted to $1.60. He had lived sinca then forty years and still had as much in his pocket as he started with. He came into Iowa thirty-four years ago, and when he took his first appointment he had to ride 150 miles on horseback to reach it. His circuit was only 100 miles around and he had only ten appointments. His salary was proportionate, a dollar a year each mile. But they were good days, and happy days. Before. the end of the first year a great finan- cial panlc swept over the country and all manufactured goods doubled in price, and the former prices were three or four times the present cost. The second year his salary was raised to $200 a year. From this he paid his board and kept his horse. He came to the lowa conference twenty-four years ago. His first appointment was near where Oak- land now stands. There were only little clusters of houses here and there over the great prairie. Many of the farm houses on his circult were twenty-seven miles apart Ox teams and rain and mud, bridgeless streams and trackless prairies were formid- able obstacles, but people overcame them and were happy in doing it. In 1573 the Des Molnes conference contained a membership of 15732; now the membership was over 45,000, Then the entire church property in the conference amounted to $289,000; now it was $1,067,000. Then the Council Bluffs ctr- the but kept Harry the meeti ercixes we days, Ned “Anchored" In his ¢ cuit had 1,807; now it was over 7,000, an in- crease of nearly 500 per cent.

The livery barn of Norman Green, at the corner of Broadway and Union street, has been looked over and found to be suitable for making over into a church building.

A subscription list is to be circulated among the friends of the church this week, and it is hoped that the necssary funds will be raised before the week is over, in order that a report may be made at the coming session of the presbytery. el Moy AN INDIAN ROMAN overs Hidden in a Canyo sleged by a Posse with Guns, There is intense excitement at the Round Valley Indian reservation, near Ukiah, Cal., and it 1s all over the attempted elopement of two members of the aboriginal 400 of that picturesque valley. Wahtoki, the son of a well known sub-chief of the Sanels, is now hiding in & canon on Mad river, surrounded by a band of Yokayos, who vow that the dusky young warrior shall never escape alive from his present place of concealment. Last year Pahtuki, chlef of the Yokayos, brought down a band of Indians from the reservation for the purpose of assisting the hop growers of this valley to gather their crops. He was accompanied by his young daughter, Wilmeto, a beautiful maiden of 17 summers. Wahtoki of the Sanels was employed in the same fleld and before the season was over the two young Indians had become lovers. Pahtuki, however, had other views for his daughter. He is the owner of a fine ten-acre farm In the valley and had st his heart on the marriage of his daughter t5 Sam Jones, a well-to-do half-breed who owns ten acres adjoining Pahtuki, that he might join the two farms. Wahtoki was in- formed of the chief's determination and re- solved to nip the scheme in the bud. As Is thelr usual custom, the Round Val- ley Indians made engagemente to pick hops in this valley this year, so Pahtuki gathered up his household effects Tuesday last and the band started for this city. They had not proceeded far, however, when the father dis- ccvered that the charming Wilmeto was not of the party. He promptly dispatched a mes- senger to secure the presence of his daugh- ter. The messenger returned shortly with the Information that Wilmeto had disappeared shortly after thte departure of the band in company with young Wahtoki, who had ar- rived the night previously from Hopland and remained concealed until Pahtuki and his warriors had left for the hop fields. Upon discovering that his daughter had been abducted by the young Sanel, Pahtuki went Into camp on Eel river and dispatched a band of elght armed braves to pursue Wah- tokl and regain possession of the malden, even though it was necessary to shed blood to do so. The elght warriors immediately be- gan the pursult, but the elopers were several hours in advance. Wahtoki and Wilmeto were vell mounted, but the superior dili- genca of the trallers soon brought them within s'ght of the fleeing couple, wha, when they found they were being pursued, headed for one of the most inaccessible points on Mad river, near the Trinity county line. The elopers entered a deep canon on Mad river just a few hundred yards ahead of the pursuers, who began firing as soon as they came within gunshot. The couple found shel- ter in one of the numerous caves in that vi- cinity, and at last reports the pursuers were guarding every pathway leading from the canon. It can be but a question of a short time when Pahtuki's band succeeds in stary- ing out the young lovers and it is thought by many of the old residents that summary vengeance will be taken on Wahtokl, as Pah- tuki 1s a man of great influence as well as of very severe dispositio S — Chilian Romance. During the rebellion in Chill one young girl had the chance of distinguishing herself at a moment of danger and hesitated not an in- stant in embracing it. This was the daughter of John Claudio Vicuna, and her father thus described the story of her heroism to the author of “Dark Days in ChilL:" “One evening at 6 o'clock, during my ab- sence, my daughter was writing some lotters for me at a table. Suddenly she heard a crash of broken glass, followed by a loud explosion at the street end of the room, and there had been so much bomb work of late that in- stinctively she gusssed what had happened. “Before she could collect herself sufficiently ta rush for the door a second bomb was hurled in and rolled almost to her feet, provi- dentlally without exploding. This she picked up and threw from the other window into the court below. Then, seeing that some brown paper was smoldering in a half open box of riffo cartridges, she quickly dashed a large jug of water over it. “By this time the servants had rushed in and succeeded In extinguishing the fire, which had caught the curtains and furniture. “But my brave girl, remembering that I bad gone out unarmed, took my revolver and started out alone to meet me on my way home, and it was not until I had been pro- vided with the weapon that she told me what had happened. Owing to certain maliclous reports clrcu- lated by the Viscount de Cholseul, Mme, de Stael had fallen out with him. One day the lady and viscount met in company, on which occasion good manners required that they should speak to each other, Mme. de Stael commences “We have not seen you for a long while, il M. de Cholseul." ““Ah, madame, I have been I had a narrow escape from being poisoned.” *‘Alas! Possibly you took a bite at your own tongue,' This little joke fell like a thunderbolt on the viscount, who was a notorious back- biter and mischief maker. The lesson was a severe one, but he richly deserved it and had not & word to say. INTEREST IN U?.ia POLITICS — Ooming Election in the Next State Hinges on Many Things, BOTH PARTIES STRIVE FOR ITS CAPTURE Mormon Vote a Question Recelving Much Solicitous Attention from ¥ De= elde t Result, SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept. 8.—(Speclal)— National politics, and especially the control of the United States senate, is the chiet tople here now. The result of tho coming election of a legislature, which s to elect senators for the new state of Utah, is being studied carefully by politicians the country over. One question which is being asked with -much anxiety ls as to the attitude of the leaders of the Mormon community in regard to na- tional polities. The fact that nearly two- thirds of the voters of Utah—threc-fifths at least—are Mormons or subject o Mormon in= fluence, makes this an important question. Not only o, but the Mormon influence ex- tends far outside of Utah. There are Mo mon communities all through the adjoining states and territories. The Mormons are es- sentially an agricultural people, and when they have in the past found a fertile spot un- occupled in any of the adjoining territory their policy has been to occupy it. Little bands of young men and women have been sent out year by year to “occupy the lend,” and have done o, persistentiy, faithfull The result is that there are thousands of Mormon votes today in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico, TWO WAYS OF TALKING, Talk on the street corner with any poli- ticlan and he will tell you loudly that his party will surely win, Talk with him pri- vately, however, and you find him admitting that, other things being equal, it is natural that the Mormons should cast their lot with the republicans. They are naturally protec- tionists. The recent democratic legislation taking the tarift off of wool was a serious blow to them, for Utah is a great sheep and wool producing country. Then, tco, the repeil of the bounty on sugir was a serious blow to the Mormons. They had established a beet sugar industry and just got it on a paying basis, and with prospects of great succe:s, when the democratic congress swooped down upon them and fook the bounty away. Be- side this, the three leading men of the church, Willlam Woodruff, Joseph Smith and George Q. Cannon, are republican in senti- ment. The first two are outspoken repub- licans, and it is understood that Mr. Can non's srmpathies and views are with the re- publicans, although he sat upon the demo- cratic side when a delegate in congress. Nobody can determine yet what the atti- tude of the Mormons is to be on this subject of national politics. Probably they do not fully know yet themselyes. But there can be no doubt that it s in the power of the leaders to determine whether Utah shall be republican or democratic at the coming elec- tion. They will tell you that it probably lies in the hands of the women of the territory to determine the result of this election, and that the tendency among the women is toward democracy. - But there can be no doubt of the power of the Mormon leaders to influence the votes of the women, if they choose to da so, and to also influence the votes of a large portion of the men in_ the church also. There are probably 15,000 women in Utah who were plural wives and who were put away by the order which re- quited each polygamous husband to take as his legal wife the one he first married, but to continue to support and care for the others. A beautiful ‘‘home” was erected by the church for such ‘of the discarded wives as might need public care, but nobody has needed its shelter, so eompletely and thor- oughly have these men cared for and sup- ported their ex-wives. They have given them homes, supported and. cared for them, and done all they could in their behalf, and the women have loyally lived single,’ none of them remarrying. WOMEN WILL PLAY A PART. The woman vote in Utah is to play quite an important part In the coming election, and might prove quite a serious factor in the ad mission of the territory as a state, and in the admision of senators to seats in the sen- ate. The situation is a somewhat complicated and interesting one. Women formerly voted in Utah, but they were disfranchised several years aga for the purpoze of making the con- trol of polygamy less difficult. When the constitution for the proposed new state was framed it provided that women should have the right to vote in the new state—should have all the rights that men have in voting, holding office, etc. This new constitution is to be voted upon at the November election, and at the same time the voters are to vote for officers, a governor, members of the legi lature, etc., who are to assume the duties of the offices, provided the constitution fs adopted and the president issues his procla- mation making Utah a state. It s assumed that the women have the right to vote at the election at which the propossd _constitution is to be voted upon. It is only that constitu- tion which makes them voters if adopted, yet it is assumed that they may vote, not dnly on fts adoption, but also for members of the legislature, governor and other state officers at the approaching November election. This proposition has been submitted to the court of the territory and the judge has decided in favor of the women, The case has been ap- pealed, for the sake of a final decision before the election, to the highest territorial court, and the decision is now awaited with much interest. Meanwhile the women are register- ing and preparing to vote. What the effect of this may be, either on President Cleve- land’s proclamation admitting the state or on the reception of the senators elected by a legislature chosen by the aid of women's votes under these peculiar curcumstances, fs hard to say. It might result in a contest of the seats of the senators, in case either party see any advantage to be gained by it, DEMOCRATS MORE HOPEFUL. To say that either of the great parties is confldent of securing the control of the legis laturé and the subsequent election of United States senators, would be inaccurate. To say that both are hopeful, would be true, On the whole, the democrats exhibit more confi- dence than do the republicans. The fact that the republicans have not been accustomed to success here, except in last fall’s election, adds to the confidence of the democrats, while the current belief that the vote of the Mormon women will be adverse to the republicans is another important or in the conclusions which are reached. Bestdes, all Utah is for free silver, and while there has been little in recent democratic history to encourage the silver people, there fs a feeling among the friends of sliver that if either of the great parties is to do anything for them their only hope is in the democracy. In addition to this, there is apparently more bitterness among the republ'cans, and more strife over local offices and local mat- ters, One of the mgst strongy marked fe tures of this condition, grows out of the can- didacy of Colonel Jsage Trumbo for the United States genate. Mr. Trumbo is & na tive of Utah, of Mormon descent. He was formerly a resident here, but a decade or so ago transferred his residenca to San Francisc where he is sald to, have accumulated con- siderable weaith. When he faw that Ut was about to come inas a state he returne took the most promient and costly residence of the city, known as the “Amelia Palace and announced himself as candidate for the United States senate, He spends money lay- ishly, and s sald to represent, or to hav some business relation with the great Cen- tral Pacific rallroad fnterest. His candidacy has awakened bitter hostility, especially on the part of the only republican paper of the city, whose editor, Judge Goodwin, is looked upon @s a senatorial aspirant. the Tribune, while the only republican organ of the city, is somewhat out of harmony, alone with the Trumbo followers, but with many of the republicans, thus adding to the complications of the situation. CANDIDATES ARE NUMEROUS The fact that it appears to be “anybody's race” makes the supply of willing patriots on both sides very large and varied. Gu- bernatorial candidates, senatorlal candldates, legislative candidates, aspirants for judge- ships and other state offices are plentiful and active. All state officers are to be chosen at the November election, and the legislature then elected will be called together probably DAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1895 C———— a8 moon as the president fssues his proclama- tion admitting the state and the struggle for the senatorship begun. The fact that each party has strong hope of capturing the legisiature has produced a large and growing crop of candidates for the United States senate. On the democratic side the most prominent are ex-Delegated Caine and Rawlins. Both these men did the territory excellent service in congress and have a very strong personal as well as polit- ical following. Of course the railroad inter- ests are not fdle, and the Union Pacific candl- date for the senate on the democratic side is P. L. Willlams, who has been the attorney of that road here. On the republican side there are more can- didates and consequently less harmony. One of the strongest and most highly respected of the republican candidates is Hon. C. W. Bennett, formerly of Chicago, but for many years a’ leading and active republican here He is a “gentile,’” or non-Mormon, Judge Goodwin, the editor of the Tribune, formerly of Nevada but for twenty years a resident here, is also a candidate. He is not popular with the Mormons, having fired hot shot into their ranks for years, Hon. Arthur Thomas 1s also another prominent candidate. Frank J. Cannon, who is the recently elected dele gate, I8 aiso an avowed candidate. He is a son of George Q. Cannon, the real head of the Mormon church. In addition to these there 1s a well defined helief that George Q. Can- non himself would like a seat in the senate. He remembers, apparently, not with bit- ternes but ' with a very distinct recollection, the fact that he was refused a seat in the house be- causge of polygamy, and it is believed that he would like to round out his care with a term in the senate, now that polygamy is a thing of the past And it {s not improbable, as it now appears, that if the legislature s republican Frank J. Cannon may step aside and transfer to his father the Mormon and other support he has and elect him to the senate. et NAVIC 1B AIR. tx In the Science fox. ile we must needs take the statement of a New York newspaper that it “has settled the question that man can fly" with such grains of salt as are indispensable in these days of sensatlonal journalism, there seems to be a general apprehension among sclentific men that a great advance in the navigation of the air by man is at hand. The claim made by cri of cur New York contemporar ys the Baltimore Sun, is that under its pices the well known aeronaut, Prof. Carl Myers, has built an airship which is halt balloon and half flying machine. In this air- ship he claims to have solved the difficulty of moving through the air in any direction anl at any desired he'ght, either with or against the wind. 1t is sald that a system of ordinary bicycle pedals, worked by the pro- fessor's feet, drives a rotary sail rapldly around, much after the manner of the pro- peller of a steamship. This imparts a for- ward motion to the alrship, and the stesring of it In any desired direction is claimed to be effectively provided for by a pair of aero- planes extending outward on either side of the navigator, A public exhibition of this nove! airship is promised to be given in New York City shertly, and when it takes place it will be much safer to pass an opinion on its merits, It is worth noting that a writer in the cur rent North American Review, Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, an eminent Englich phy- siclan and scientist, says: “I have sugzestel for many years past that the end of these cfforts (of expert cyclers) will be a transition to the domain of flight and that a gsod flying machine will ultimately come out cf the cycle. The cycle, in will develop into the flying machine through the Intervention of wings, which will be workable by the power of the individual aione or aided by some very light motor.” This prophecy may not have been realized as yet, but it is a curious co'nc'dence that almost simultane:usly with its appear- ance in print a claim should be put forward that the bicycle-balloon is an accomplishel fact. The science of aercnautics has a h only a little over a century. The Montgolfier brothers ent up the first ballocn from the French town of Annonay on June 5, 1783. In the October follow'ng the first human Le'ng who ever sailed skyward, M. de Rozler, a young French naturalist, did o in a captive balloon, 1. e., fastened by ropes to the earth. A month later the same man made the first ascent in a free fire balloon from the Bo's de Boulogne. It rose to the height of 500 feet and camo down about 9,000 yards from the point of departure. That was the begin- ning of the airsh’p. Its pareat:ge was French and the largest results were predicted from its development. Yet there has not been much real aeroratic pregress made elther in France or other countries in the 1i% years that Lave since elapsed. The Montgolfier brothers went up in a balloon with a pirty of French noble- men on board In January, 1784, frem Lyons, and reached a height of 3,000 feet. That d's- tance has since been greatly exceeded and a record of five miles made—and that is about all. The problem of maintaining human life at any higher altitude s unsolved; the greater problem of steering the ship of the air as ships are steered at sea, €0 as to make them g0 one way while the wind is going the other, is still unriddled. Very quaint reading, indeed, are the ac- counts of the first balloon ascent made in England, that of Sig. Vincenzio Lunardi, sec- retary of the Neapolitan ambassador at Lon- don, who sailed away from terra firma in that city on September 15, 1784, while the prince of Wales (afterward George 1V.) and 150,000 spectators looked on. Lunardi, like many others since, believed he was going to solve the steering question. His balloon was composed of 520 yards of oiled silk. It was 102 feet in circumference and was Inclosed Wwith a strong net, from which an open car was suspended by means of forty-five cords. It was originally the intention of Lunardi to employ both wings and oars. They were In the form of large rackets, covered with loose flounces of oil silk, and with these he expected to steer his balloon. His com- panions on the trip wero a dog, a cat and a pigeon. He passed over London In a north- erly direction and first descended In a corn. field, where he parted with his cat. He then rose again and finally landed in a meadow near Ware. He found out that his steering device was not effective, and he died without inventing a better one. According to a chart recently publ by the German Aeronautical association the highest point ever reached by a balloon was scored by one sent up by the French sclen- tists, Hermite and Besancon, the second high- est point by Glaisher and the third by Ber- son. The car of the Hermite balloon was empty and reached the highest altitude, 16,000 meters, as its automatic registers showed Its instruments recorded the lowest tempera- ture at an altitude of 12,500 meters, namely, 51 degrees Celsus. At that point the ink in the registry pen became frozen and remained s for a considerable while; at 16,000 meters it thawed out and registered the temperature of 21 degrees, The famous Glalsher reached the highest altitude ever achieved by a man In 1862, when he rose 11,270 meters, his barome- ter registering 175 millimeters and his ther- mometer 24.5. Dr. A. Berson, In his bal- loon Phoenix, ascended to a helght of 9,150 meters in December last. The Phosnix car ried 2,000 cubic meters of gas, consumed two hours and twenty minutes in reaching the altitude 9,150 meters, and landed back tory of of upon earth within the space of exactly three hours, Two other notable efforts to advance the science of aerial navigation are now on foat besides the one just announced in New York. One is the project of our American aeronaut, Prof. Henry A. Hazen, who proposes to reach a point in space ten miles above the carth in an alrtight steel car, fitted with a parachute, and also with a bottom and steering gear, 5o that If it drops into the sea it can serve as a boat. The other is the projected balloon expedition to the North pole, under the di- rection of the Swedlsh acronaut and sclentist, Mr. Andree, which he Is planning to carry out next summer, starting from Spitzbergen and intending to make the whole distance to the pole, 3,700 kilometers, in about six days M. Yon of Paris is now at work building the great airship for this expedition. Its construction will be such as to give it an abundant supply of gas for thirty days, enable it to carry three men, a large number of sclentific instruments and provisions for four month's use. These are ambitions projects and if they succesd the mystery of the north pole will be solved, the next great war will be largely fought in the air and the best fortified cities, like Paris, will be indefensible, and airlines to Europs will in o few years be beating the records of our fastest ocean steamers, e A Shooting with Thelr Eyes Shut, Admiral Meade, the well known naval of- cer, who recently had sort of a catch-as- !

The other day he related a story told by Major Howell, brother of the editor of the Atlanta Constitution. Major Howell was littie more than a boy when the late war broke out. He heard ““Bob” Toombs make many flery ad- dresses and tell how he would call the roll of his slaves on Bunker Hill. Other fire- eaters preached about the picnic the south would have in promenading from Dixie to Canada. Theso orators declared that the Yankees wero no soldiers, that they couldn't shoot for shucks. In fact, every time a ‘ank” pulled a trigger he shut his eyos. Young Howell drank in all thess stories and entered the confederate service. A couple of years later the battle ground was in the Shenandoah valley. Toombs was a major general, Howell a captain. The fight was a lot one and the enemy was suffering dread- fully from the small arm fire of the union army. Captain _Howell, finding himself closo to General Toombs, said: “General, 1 thought those Yanks always shut their eyes when they fired?” “So they do," answered the doughty Toombs, and then profanely added: “But they shoot a d—ad sight bet- ter with ‘em closed than our fellows with their eyes open.” On His Dignity, A little while ago I was introduced to an officer of the United States army quartered at Fort Schuyler, says the New York Press. He is a surgeon, and though his rank was mentioned at the time, I could not remember anything but “Doctor,”” and while we were together T addressed him as “Doctor,” which he did not seem to resent. He is a dried up little man, welghing about 120 pounds, with a typical Yankee face, small and shrewd gray eyes and an agreeable manner. A day or two ago this gentleman passed me, and I said cheerfully: “Hello, lieutenant.” Though only five feet from me, and entirely alone, he did not turn his head. It was as dead a cut as I ever received. I said to myself that he might go to the country that Theseus visited with great advantage. ~Next day I informed the person who introduced us that I was in- clined to dislike the doctor, who seemed a trifie proud of himself and stuck on his pro- fession. “What asked. “I saluted him, and he id not notice me.” “Surely he did not see you. He fs the politest little man in the world, What did you call him?” “I sald: ‘Hello, lieutenant.’ " at Scott! ~ Of course he did not notice you! Why, he's a captain! You might ¥hout lieutenant at him all day and never get him to turn his bead. He believes in discipline. He would not turn if you called him doctor. The War department lssued orders that army surgeons shall be addressed by their proper rank, and the captain will not budge for anything less.” Ob, if T only had her complexion! ~ Why, it is easily obtained. Use Pozzonl's Com- piexion Powder. T Tne Devil's Pump. One of the greatest combinations of nat- ural and artificial curlosities on the coast of California is called the Devil's Pump, says the St. Louls Republic. The pholas or shell miners, a specics of mollusk which ex- cavates Immense caverns fn the very hardest e, have tunneled the entire coast in the vicinity of the pump. Water rushes into these caverns with each succeeding tide flow, and, In this particular case, finds vent through a cylindrical opening some dista from the water's edge. It is esumated that this hole, which connects with the sea- cavern, is seventy-five to 100 feet in depth. Every time the tide rushes into the cavern beneath, the “pump” throws water to the height of a full 100 feet above the mouth of the opening. The Indians formerly called it by a name which signified “fairy water gun,” but the irreverent white men have given it the title of the “Devil's Pump,” and by that name it will probably be known to future generations.
