TO LieutenantSelfridge Killed Or ville Wright Badly Hurt. One of the Propeller Blades Snappec Off and Hitting Some Other Part or the Mechanism Caused Machine ti Overturn In the Air and Fall to thi Ground Wright Waa Pinned Un der the Motor. After huving drawn the attention o: the world to his aeroplane flights a' Fort Myer and having established nefl world's records for heavler-than-alr fly ing machines, Orvllle Wright met wltl a tragical mishap while making a two man flight. The aeroplanlut was accompanied by Lieutenant Thomas E. Selfridge ol the signal corps of the army. Lleuten unt Selfridge was fatally injured an died at 8:10 o'clock Thursday night. Mr. Wright was seriously injured but Is expected to recover. While the machine was encircling the drill grounds a propeller blade snapped of! and hitting some other part of the in trlcate mechanism, caused it to over turn in the air and fall to the ground enveloping the two occupants in th doh lis. Soldiers and spectators ran across the field to where the aeroplane had fallen and assisted In lifting Mr Wright aud Lieutenant Selfridge front under the tangled mass of machinery rods and shreds of muslin. Mr. Wiighl was conscious and said: "Oh, hurry and lift the motor." Lieutenant Selfridge was uncon scions and had apparently struck the ground with great force. His head was covered" with blood and he was choking when the soldiers extricated him irom under the machine. Dr. Wat tern, a New York physician, was ono of the first to reach the spot and rendered first aid to the Injured men. When their wounds had been bandaged Mr. Wrlr' ' and Lieutenant Selfridge were taken to the Fort Myet hospital at the other end of the field. Mr. Wright had lapsed into a state of semi-consciousness by the time h reached the hospital, while Lieutenant Selfridge did not regain consciousness at nil. He was suffering from a frac ture at the base of the skull. After a hurried surgical examination It was announced that Mr. Wright wai not dangerously injured. He is suf fering from a fracture of his left thigh and several ribs on the right side are fractured. Both men received deep cuts about the head. Mr. Wright re gained consciousness at the hospital and dictated a cablegram to his brother at Le Mans, France, and re quested that the same message be sent to his sister and father at Dayton, O., assuring them that he was all right. ENTERTAINS VILLAGERS. President Roosevelt Proved Himself an ideal Host. President Koouevelt proved himself the Ideal host when he entertained tho residents of Oyster Bay at his summer home on Sagamore Hill. Each one of the 2.000 or more persons who went to see the president was made to feel that he or she had been especially honored. For each ct his visitors the presi dent had something of particular in terest to that person to say. It he was shaking hands with the father of a large family the president would in crease the pressure of his hand; if he was greeting the mother of a large family he wouli grow even more en thublastic, and when the children of the village finally managed to press through the crowd the president beamed with pleasure and patted the youngsters on the back with an affec tionate little tap as they filed past him. Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. W. Emlen Roosevelt and Mrs. Reeves Merritt as sisted the president In receiving the guests. Refreshments, consisting of punch and ginger snaps, were served on the lawn, and every one was in vited to make himself perfectly at home. CANDIDATES FRATERNIZE.

Hughes and Lieutenant Governor Lewis Stuyves ant Chanler, with their political paths Bet In diametrically opposite directions by the Saratoga and Rochester con ventions, met within comparatively a few hours of their respective nominations for governor by the Re publican and Democratic parties and fraternized in their official duties as first and second officers of the present Btate administration. With them at luncheon and In so cial intercourse during Hie day were State Chnirninn Timothy L. Wood ruff of the Republican party and State Chairman Conners of the Democratic party.

DISASTER AIRSHIP ASIATIC CHOLERA. Disease Spreading With Alarming Ra pidity In Russia. St. Petersburg Is In the grasp of the Asiatic cholera, which exceeds in leverlty the visitation of 1893. The Unease Is increasing daily at an alarm ing rate and unless the authorities show In the future a much greater de gree of ability to cope with the situa tion than they have In the past there is every reason to fear that It will get out of hand. The government's threat to declare martial law has driven the municipal ity officers to greater energy in clear ing the city of the scourge. The al dermanic council Sunday voted $250, 000 to enlarge the hospital space, to purchase and distribute disinfectants nd to expedite the interment of bodies. The dead houses are over crowded and many corpses He un buried. The prefect of St. Petersburg has prohibited the sale of liquor here until Sept. 22 In order to diminish al coholic excesses, which very material ly Increase the liability to cholera In fection. A beginning was made when sev eral public schools were transformed Into hospital wards and 4,000 of the students were sent to their homes. The department of war has opened Btores to Mipply immediate need and army field kitchens have been dis patched to the poorer quarters to dis pense free food. Germany and Austria have taken precautions to prevent the plague crossing the frontier and other nearby countries have declared a quarantine against Russia, and France is ready to meet any exigency that may arise. $10 FOR STOLEN KISS. Man Who Paid It In Police Court Thought Price Too High. Stolen kisses are getting to be a drug on the market in Chicago, from a pretty girl of 18 against her will and It only costs you $10 It's a Bign that the kissing market Is 'way oft. Once It cost $100. Just in order to show that the "masses" are entitled to cheap kisses Municipal Judge Lantry on Friday as sessed Michael Slick, a boiler maker, $10 for kissing Miss Emma Otto, 10701 Buffalo avenue, at a picnic held at Lakeside grove on Labor day. Slick claimed that he was not trying to live up to his name. He asserted that he did not believe that a girl really objected to being kissed any way, and besides he did not kiss Miss Otto. "A kiss Is not worth the money at that," said Slick ungallantry",' as he paid his fine. Miss Otto, with many blushes, told how Slick happened to kiss her. She said she attended a picnic at Lake side grove on Labor day and when she got off the train Slick walked up to her and asked her if she came alone. She said she had and he asked her if he could dance with her. The music proved alluring and the couple were soon two-stepping. Later Mr. Slick grew bolder, escorted Miss Otto home and at her door Implanted a rousing smack on her Hps she asserts and was promptly slapped and later ar rested. New York State Nominations. The Republicans at Saratoga re nominated Governor Hughes and nom inated Horace White of Syracuse for Heulenant governor. The rest of the ticket follows: Comptroller, Charles H. Gaus of Al bany; attorney general, Edward R. O'Malley of Erie; secretary of state, Samuel S. Keenig of New York; Btate engineer, Frank M. Williams of Mad ison; treasurer, Thomas B. Dunn of Monroe.

Whalen of Monroe; attorney general, George M. Palmer of Schoharie; comp troller, Martin H. Glynn of Albany; state engineer and surveyor, Philip Farley of Kings; treasurer, Julius Hanser of Suffolk. Judge Albert Haight of Buffalo was renominated by both parties for asso ciate Judge of the court of appeals. Forest Fires Spread. Fresh forest fires are being reported daily from the Adirondack and Cats kill regions, and unless there is a heavy rainfall soon the damage may approximate that of the destructive fires of 1903, when over 450,000 acres were burned over, entailing a loss of $SOO,000 in standing timber, logs and pulpwood. Some of the fires thus re ported are burning within the flre wept areas of 1903, so that the dam age In these sections will not be so great. Succeeds Sherman as Attorney. H. J. Cookingham of Vtica was on Friday of last week appointed by the state commission In lunacy attorney for the I'tica state hospital for the in sane at an annual salary of $1,200. He succeeds James S. Sherman, the Re publican candidate for vice president, who for years served In that capacity but who resigned after his nomination. French Kill 1,000 In Congo. Dispatches to the government at Paris from the governor general of the French Congo state that a force of 1.600 French troops under Captain Jullled have routed the Ouadai tribe, whose territory is the center of the trade in slaves and contraband arms. The tribesmen's losses number a thousand. Y THE G. 0. P. SHOULDWIN OUT Able Presentation ot Issue at Outset ot Campaign. PROUD RECORD OF GREAT PARTY It Stands For Expansion, For Progress and Prosperity, Is Constructive, It Organizes the National Will, Is a Party of Statesmen, and With Taft and Sherman As Its Standard Bearers Is Bound to Be Successful at the Election to Be Held In No vember. Special Correspondence.! New York, Sept. 8. In meeting the issue "Why the Re publican party should be successful next November," the Republican con gressional committee sought the brightest literary minds In the country to present the case In a brief and for cible manuer, and from among 200 articles upon the subject submitted, that written by Frank Hendrick, of New York city, was awarded the first prize of $150. This Is what Mr. Hendrick wrote: The Party of Expansion. "The Republican party was founded upon the principle that this govern ment was established to protect for all times the rights and opportunities of every Individual from abridgment. That principle It has successfully main, tallied. Through the Civil War It con secrated a reunited country to free and equal American citizenship. It has kept the channels of Interstate commerce open for all, through the national bank ing system, the refunding of the na tional debt, resumption of specie pay ments, the gold standard and the emergency currency law, has sustained the life current of national integrity. "As trustee of the national wealth, It has Investigated mineral regions, surveyed soils, developed waterways, including the Panama canal, Irrigated deserts, conserved watersheds, and husbanded the public lands. Protecting American labor by regulating immi gration and by taking at the custom house, to pay American taxes, foreign capital's advantage from low wages, it has preserved to American Industries the home market of eighty millions of the world's greatest consumers and so laid the surest basis for American com petition in foreign markets. Uniting capital and labor, thus, in a common prosperity and common source of In creased reward, It has created oppor tunities, Improved conditions of em ployment, brought about a higher standard of living, and more wide spread distribution of wealth and well being, and made expansion moral as well as material. "Intrusted with Insular possessions, It has brought them peace and pro gress, and provided for the extension and protection of American trade, for the national defense, and for the hon orable discharge of the responsibilities of world greatness. Maintaining peace at home, with foreign nations and among them, It has given American rights and American opportunities new meaning throughout the nation and throughout the world. The Party of Progress and Prosperity. "Promising progress and prosperity, it has been politically sincere. It has never had a candidate of a section, prejudice, or class, nor a platform of negation, scheme of repudiation, pro gram of scuttle or doctrine of despair. It has never lent Itself to a demand for revolution, to be followed by reaction and retrogression, it has stood firm for evolution by constant, steady and enduring progress. Finding trusts, giant-born, flourishing under supposed conflict of state and national law, the double prohibition of existence serv ing but to foster their development, it has never, In an attempt to destroy trusts, withdrawn, In state or nation, the protection of law from prosperity, but has. through executive Investiga tion and resort to the courts, resolved the conflict which had silenced law and given trusts existence. "It has never proposed to advance American workingmen and American institutions by banishing American In dustries and building up those of other lands, and scorned to Insult labor with an llluslonary promise of Immunity from law. Yet It passed the pure food law and the employers' liability law. secured equal accommodations on rail roads, aided agriculture, created the civil service, established free rural mnll delivery, reduced foreign postage and Increased pensions. Continuing naturally marked-out progress, It will keep Its pledges of tariff readjust ment, currency reform and develop ment of the merchant marine, and make the United States the financial centre as it has made it the Industrial centre of the world. "In the evolution by which party government has become the extra constliutional method of securing re sponsibility to the people, the Republi can party has become their traditional representative and the Democratic party the organized aspiration of Indi viduals for power without responsibil ity. Fairly tried, from 1893 to 1895. the two Democratic houses and the Demo cratic president were a 'wild team' and a helpless driver. Democracy agitates local differences. Republicanism or ganizes the national Idea. In 18t!3 the people were committed to the cause of human liberty; the Idea of 'Liberty and Union' expanded for the first time Into the reality of the nmrlcan na tion. "In 1879 money was committed to a specie basis; specie was at once, until 1893, no longer sought, and govern ment bonds went to a premium at the reduced rate of Interest. In 1896 busi ness men were again committed to con fidence; before a single statute was enacted prosperity set in and in ten years bank deposits almost trebled a permanent gain which the recent panic, a 'state of mind' now completely dispelled, scarcely touched. In '1906 business was committed to fair meth ods; without compulsion violations largely ceased. "The Republican party, at each period, sounded the public conscience, felt the national pulse, framed Its poli cies in response, and realized in law the dominant American Idea. Its con structive past assures Its constructive future. It is today as it always has been, 'The Party Fit to Govern.' The Party of Statesmen. "The party of statesmanship. It has been the training school of statesmen. Its policies have been forged in the heat of public discussion, tempered in the deliberation and shaped in the con flict of many trained minds, and drawn and finally wrought for the country's welfare. Dominating its members through principles, It assures unity In government; its staunchest partisans have made the greatest contributions to national progress. The roster of Its leaders Is the national roll of honor of public service. "Republicanism stands today for progressive policies in safe hands. By solving the constructive problems of world power In the last two adminis trations, William H. Taft taught the world our capacity and us his own. In all constructive legislation for twenty years James S. Sherman has been a leader. In the records of the Republi can candidates as well Is In the plat form are written the story of the na tion's progress and the reliance of the future. "A Democratic president or a Demo cratic house would turn back those pages; thereafter Bryanisni would re cord 'Destruction.' This the Republican senate could not prevent. Under Taft and Sherman and a Republican con gress the great progress of the past will be held and the greater progress of the future will be assured." CLEVELAND'S LAST WORD TO PARTY Praised Taft and Galled For Elimination of Bryanism. Special Correspondence. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 8. Pennsylvania Bryanites are greatly exercised over the publication of Grover Cleveland's last political doc ument, In which he forecasted the election of Judge Taft and recorded his opinion that the national Democ racy will never regain Its prestige un til Bryanism shall be eliminated. There is no doubt that these de clarations have had far reaching In fluence among the conservative ele ment of the Democracy of the Key stone State. The Cleveland article was (he first of a series which the late ex-president Intended to write, but which his death cut short. It was copyrighted by the New York Times after permis sion to print it had been obtained from Frederick S. Hastings, executor of Mr. Cleveland's estate. In this article Mr. Cleveland among other things said: "With the other parties disorganized, redeveloping and procreating, the Re publican party is certain, though with a considerably lessened strength, to move on to a safe victory sustained by the popular support of reforms which should not redound to Its glory solely, those reforms having been tho work of decent men of all parties. "Personally and officially I have had the opportunity of knowing many things concerning Mr. Taft that were not a matter of general knowledge, and with a keen Interest I have watch ed his large share In the conduct of our national affairs In very rerent years. His excellence as a federal judge in Cincinnati is something not to be underestimated or overemphasiz ed, for should he come to the presi dential chair the qualities which made him a Judge of high ability, which I know him to have been, will be the most needful to him as president of the United States. His high ideals of honesty and of relative justlve. his great capacity for severe labor and his humorous wisdom In the face of the serious problem are attributes equally valuable and commendatory to a people, seeking him In whom they may repose the trust of their collec five Interests while they turn their In creased attention to their pressing Individual demands. After discussing problems resulting from national expansion, continuing, he said: Has Important Qualifications. -"These questions are fruitful of trouble and perturbation, and the pri mary requisite of the man or men who must deal with them is an abundant knowledge of the people of the outly ing domain. That Mr. Taft Is posses sed of tills knowledge as Is no other man In the country Is hardly to lie denied; granted that he has had ex traordinary opportunities, he has shown himself able to Improve those opportunities In a manner which it Is not extravagant to say will be his broadest claim so far to enduring tame when the acute visual distortion of the present and opportune shall have given place to the Inexorable per spective of history In which the re'a five values of public deeds to public duties are completely clarified and r.nnounced to posterity."

Chicago, Sept. 22. Boot and shoi manufacturers are up in arms ovei a new rule of Western railroads whlcl under present conditions means an In crease of 50 per cent in freight rate on their product. A storm of protest lias been caused with the result that tho railroads hxvi consented to a conference with th manufacturers this week to adjust tht difficulty. The new requirement is that .uann faclurers must use cement-coated nails in boxes containing shfpments o' boots and shoes or be subject to a 51 per cent Increase in the first claw rate. The rule was adopted at tin 'last meeting of the Western olasslfi cation committee and becomes efTec tlve Jan. 1. Manufacturers object seriously ti using cement-coated nails unless a re dnctlon Is made in the rate. So ten aciotis are the nails that a box must bi hacked to pieces In order to open it thus preventing Its further use. The railroads defend their action bj saying that, with the possible excep tion of whisky, no other article Is m frequently stolen from boxes In trans It as boots and shoes. Damage clalmi are showered upon the railroads foi the missing arileles. When ordinary nails are used a Uilfl! is able to pry off the box cover wltl little difficulty, sile"t a good pilr "I shoes and fasten the cover on within' leaving any visible trace of the theft Cement-coated nails are said to bi burglar proof, however, and an u must be used to get at the contents ci a box.
