WOMAN AVIATOR IN TUMBLE. Pluckily Remarks She Will Begin Con struction of Another Machine. Mlneloa, N. Y., Oct. 13. The gusty wind that swept over tho aviation field tere wrecked two aeroplanes and tumbled one woman aviator nnd one manbird to the ground. Neither of the victims was hurt, but they will have to get new machines. Mrs. Bessie Ralche, wife of Franz Raiche, head of the First American Aeroplane company, .started up In a machine mado by herself and modeled on the Curtiss aeroplane. She soared to a height of twenty feet nnd was get ting nlong bravely when n treacherous gust caught her machine and tipped It till the right wing touched the ground. Tlie weight of the engine caused tho wing to crumple and the aeroplane turned over on the left wing, ruining that one also. Mrs. Ralche tumbled out of the ma chine from a height of six feet, but wns not hurt and laughed merrily. She said she would at once begin tho construction of another aeroplane. Five minutes later Harry Harkness, In a big Antoinette monoplane, met with an accident exactly similar to that of Mrs. Ralche.

ROOT If GET II ELECTION RESULTS AWAITED. Chances For Appointment Depend Largely, It Is Said, Upon Results In New York No Definite Decision Has Been Reached Yet. Washington, Oct. 13. President Tnft Is considering United States Senator Root for appointment ns chief justice of the supremo court. No decision linn been reached yet by Mr. Tnft In re gard to the chief Justiceship, but Sen ator Root Is regarded by him nt this tlmo with as much favor ns any other man. There Is good reason to believo that Mr. Root would accept the place If It were offcrod him. This was learned on excellent au thority. Senator Root's chances for appointment will depend largely, how ever, on tho result of the coming elec tion In New York state. If a Repub lican legislature Is elected the senator's chances will bo Increased, for his ap pointment under any other circum stances would mean tho surrender of his seat to the Democrats. It would moan, too, that Now York stnto would be represented iu the sen ate by two Democrats, Senator Chaun cey M. Depow's term expiring on March 4 next. It Is understood that President Tnft will wnlt until after tho November election before settling tho chief Justiceship.

This state annually pays out much money for the advancement of agriculture. At the same time it legalizes the per petuation of rabbits tho most de structive pest with which farmers have to contend. The past year has been a particularly busy one for rabbits. During the deep snows of the winter they chewed the bark off the fruit trees as high as they could climb and as far down as they could dig. When spring opened they attacked the new wheat and watched the farmer plant his gar den. When the peas were about ready to blossom the rabbits discov ered how good they were and In sev eral places of which report is made the farmers have been unable to raise peas. Young cabbage plants also attract the scavengers. Rab bits have increased very rapidly. Nearly every hrushpile and tuft of grass conceal one or more of them. They have been protected by law un til the number killed does not come anywhere near the number produc ed. It is unlawful for a farmer to kill a rabbit at tills season and use the flesh for food. If he finds the rabbit in the actual destruction of crops he may shoot the animal but If he eats it ho is liable to arrest and fine, even though the killing were In his own dooryard. There is little of justice In a law like that. It Is framed, passed and maintained In the interests of men living in towns and cities, who later in the I EVER INCREASING. - KOOO - H - OCO - I A bank account is like a snowbaII--roll it gently along and it will get larger (almost without your noticing it) as the days go by.

AMUSEMENTS. "A Gentleman From Mississippi" will bo presented here Tuesday even ing, Oct. 18, by William A. Brady. This famous comedy drama wns tho laughing sensation of New York for moro than two years, playing to crowded houses oven on the most torrid and oppressive nights of tho summer months.
