FOUR BALLOONS
MAY BE LOST
RERUN. Oct. 14.
Four of the balloons that started in j
the international race are still miss- j
ing, and today little doubt remains [
that they have fallen either into the
North Sea or the Raltic and theirdar
luk aeronauts drowned. A report jnst
received from Heligoland Fa.vs that the
Oastilla fell into the North Sea near
that city, and that both of its aero
nauts were rescued with difficulty.
One of the patrol boats sent to watch
the balloonists effected the rescue. The
Oaetilli was piloted by Senor Montojo.
HARDLY IN THE AIR. ;
T! e Castilla was one of the three
balloons that sailed in the James ]
Gordon Bennett cup race on Saturday j
her competitors being the German
Busley ana the Swiss Helvetia, both
of which are still missing. It is con
sidered impossible that they are still
in the nir. If they alighted on the
land, it is believd, word would have
been received from them. The Busley
was piloted by Dr. Riemeycr, the
Helvetia by Colonel Schaecb. Each
balloon also carried an assistaut.
TWO GERMANS MISSING.
The German balloons Hegersell,pilot
ed by Lieutenant Toertsch, and the
Pluin, in charge of Herr Hackstetter,
which started in the endurance race
Monday, have not been heard from.
Their capacities were respectively L
-450 and 1,696 cubit meters and this
amount of gas could hardly keep them
aloft more than forty-eight hours.
BRITON HAS BEST RECORD.
The British balloon Banshee,report
ed in these dispatches yesterday as the
probable winner of the Bennett cup,
still has the best record. It came down
at Hidding, Schleswig-Holstein, [435
kilometers from Berlin.

MR. McHENRY'S SPEECHES.
Hon. John G. McHenry's speeches I
on banking and currency questions are'
commanding the widest attention aud j
commendation from men of all sec- j
tions and conditions. Last week we ■
quoted from a letter written by Hon.
John Sharp Williams, the gifted aud
courageous leader of the minority in j
the House of Representatives at Wash-!
ington.on his Bedford Springs' speech, j
Below will be found a letter from the
Rev. H. J. Whalen,Pastor of the First
Baptist Church, New Castle, Pa., on
the same subject. The statesman of
the south and the clergyman of the
North come together in their estima

My Dear Sir:—l beg the privilege of
writing yon my high appreciation of
two of your recent addresses upon the
banking question. I refer to your ad
dresses before the Grange Bankers at
Troy and before the State Bankers'
association at Bedford Springs, 'jj
Forced by my position to be a stud

MESSAGE FROM
FARTHEST NORTH:
NEW YORK, Oot. 14.
The first message from Dr. Frederick
E. Cook, the Arctic explorer, since he
started for the pole from a point north
of Etali on February 26 last has been
received in this city. It was brought
here by Rudolph Franke, who accom
panied Dr. Cooke on the early stage of
his journey aud who received it from
the explorer by messengers whom he |
sent back to the winter base after he
was well on his way to the Farthest
North.
The message was written on March
17 last, about three weeks after Dr. j
Cook had started on the last stage of j
lilb journey. It was dated "Polar Sea.
north of Cape Hubbard," and said;
that up to that point everything had
gone very well, although the weather j
was extremely cold. He was making
a straight line for the pole at that
time, he said, and expected to be back j
at the base late in May.
"I am making a straight course for i
the pole," Dr. Cook wrote. "The |
boys are doing well and I have plenty <'
of dogs. I hope to succeed. At any j
rate I shall make a desperate effort.
While I expect to get back by the end
of May, still I wish you to be ready
togo to Acponie, the island off North j
Star, where the whalers' steamers
come, by the fifth of June, and if ij
am not back togo home with the j
whalers. I think, however, we will j
be back."
Audience Was Well Pleased.
Those who have ever read the book
'Graustark," by George Barr He-
Cutcheon, aud a mighty interesting
novel it is, dealing with a subject
ever new, yet ever old, that of love,
must have been much gratified if they
attended the dramatization of the j
novel «t the opera hoase last night. .
when Stephanie Longfellow as the |
princess,ably supported by Burt King,
the adventuresome young American i
prince, gave it most excellent rendi
tion, supported by a powerful com- j
pany.
"Graustark" the play is several'
leagues ahead of "Graustark" the j
novel. Of course, the story of the
piece is familiar to readers and theatre
goers, and the play-wright has follow
ed the novel rather closely, Improving
where she has changed. It's well
staged and capably acted aud is pre-
sented with vim and dash. Stephanie
Longfellow as Yetive was winsome
and gracefal,forgetting the dignity of
the princess in the gracious and warm
impulses of the woman. Burt L. King
was a handsome American lover, and
the other characters were capably tak
en. The stage effects are excellent.
Robert Sifug, of Bath, Northampton
county, broke hiß collar bone while
playing foot ball and John Sensbangh,
a student at Muhlenberg college, Al
lentown,sustained severe scalp wounds
on Saturday. ZZT
fully brought the intricacies "of the
currency question within the giasp of
the people.
Your district is to be congratulated
upon being represented by oue whose
utterances in the last Congress, and
whose recent addresses are shaping
public opinion upon oue of the im
portant issues of the present campaign.
Vour position of the guarantee of
bank deposits is invincible, while the
down-right honesty that permeates
your every address, marks you plainly
as a man of the people—and such a
man as the times demand.
Very Sincerely,
H. J. WHALEN.
It would be impossible to form a
higher tribute to the services of a pub
lic official than that expressed in the
letter of Mr. Whaleu to Mr. McHenry.
Every voter in the Sixteenth Congress
ional district ought to be proud of the
fact that our Representative in Con
gress is BO generally praised by men
of the highest intelligence in all sec
tions of the country. When men are
making estimates of representatives
they also form ideas of the citizenship
of the c<m>rumiiiiv iu which tliry live
and it cat) be safelv said no mean
jupiuion is held of a community which
| i« represented by au official who coiii
i mauds such admiration mid approval.
Oil F; 100 HIKERS
AREESTOIIP
VIENNA, Oct. 14 .
Over one-hundred miners are en
tombed iu the Koenig coal mine in
Silesia. The catastrophe was caused
by an explosion.
No hope remains of saving any of
the imprisoned miners, as the fire has
shut off the work of rescue.
Six charred bodies have been recov
ered and their condition shows that
they were burned to death rather tliau
killed by the explosion.
It is believed that there are nearly
200 men entombd, and that they will
I all be burned to death.
The fire originated in an upper gal
' lery and spread so quickly that the es
j cape of the miners was cutoff. Rescu
ing parties attempted to enter the
I mine bat were driven back by the
| flames and fames. Great crowds of
frantic friends and relatives- of tlie
| miners surround the mouth of the
imine. A number of the wives of the
| victims became uncontrollable from
their grief and were only restrained
from entering by armed guards.
Rejoice that yen have health and
let the other fellow worry over his
i wealth.
Making Good.
I Th»re is no way of making laattna
i friends like "Making Good;" and Ddetof
; Pierce's medicines well exemplify this,
1 and their friends, after more than two
| decades of popularity, are numbered by
I the hundreds of thousands. They have
"made good" aud they have not mad*
! drunkards.
A goixl. hoiie-t. square-deal medicine of
known composition is Dr. Pierce's Uoldca
Medical Discovery. Xt still enjoys an iin
moiiM' Mile while most of the prepare
\ tions that have come Into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
"gone by the board" and arc never mofe
heard of. There must bo some reason for
this long-time popularity and that is to
j be found In Its superior merits. When
oner- given a fair trial for weak stomach,
or tor liver ami blood affections, its supe-
I riiir curative qualities are soon manifest;
! hence it has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of less meritorious
I articles have suddenly flashed into favor
fur a brief period anu then been as soon
forgotten.
j For a torpid liver with its attendant
| Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per
} haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite.
| with distress after eating, nervousness
! and debility, nothing is so good as Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
i Its Ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper
j —no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug.
therefore iton'f accept a aubstitutf that
j the dealer may possibly make a little big
i ger profit. Intint on your right to have
j what you call for.
Don't buy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion expecting it to prove a "cure-all." It
Is only advised for woman's special ail
ments It makes weak women strong and
j sick women well. Less advertised then
| some preparations aold for like purposes.
Its sterling curative virtues still maintain
i its position In the front ranks, where it
stood over two decades ago. As an In
vigorating tonic and strengthening nerv
ine it is uneoualed. It won't satisfy those
who want "booze," for there is not a drop
of alcohol In It.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the orioi
ruil Little Liver Pills, although the first
pill of their kind In the market, still lead,
and when once tried are ever afterwards
In faver. Easy to take as candy—one to
i three a dose. Mush imitated but never
equaled.
