BALLON STS
Ten Begin International
Gontest From St. Louis.
MANY DELAYS- IN STARTING.
Bennett Cup and $4,750 Are Prizes Of
fered Schaeck and Armbrustcr
Seek Their Air Line at an Alti
tude of 2,500 Feet.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 18. Ten monster
rncitiR balloons, representing four
countries, have starteil In the anuunl
international race, for which the prizes
nro the James Gordon Bennett cup anil
?4,750. .
All stnrtlnp heavy, as the aeronauts
say, with the exception of Schaeck nnd
Arnilirustcr lu the Helvetia, wjilch got
awny light nnd sought a better nlr Hue
at nu altitude of 2,1500 feet, the ten
Walloons headed north by northeast and
north when they left the nscenslon
grounds.
The balloons starting last had not
only the ndvantago of the twilight and
cool gas, but also of a better air direc
tion, for as one by one the aeronauts
rose they pointed more and more to
the north.
There were so many delays In start
ing, due to the pilots' inability to In
flate their balloons promptly and so
have time to hook up, weigh and lire
pare for the gctawny, that the sched
uled starting time was abandoned and
the balloons sent away in order as
promptly as possible.
Three of the foremost pilots in the
race were ready to start when their
turn camn and went off within a period
of three and one-hhlf minutes. They
were Leblnnc, in tho Isle de France,
balloon, No. 5; Honeywell, in the St
Louis IV., balloon No. 0, and Schaeck,
in the Helvetia, balloon Xo. 7.
These three were thus closely
bunched.
To, experts who watched the start of
all ten it seemed that those three and
Messner in the Azurea, balloon No. 3,
and Hawley In America II., balloon
Xo. 0, made the most propitious starts.

LIQUOR INTERESTS
On Local Cption Platform But
Pledged Not to Vork For It.
HYPOCRISY OF THE MAN
Accuses Both. His Rivals, But Cannot
Deny That He Made Compacts With
Saloon Men.
William H. Borry, tho Keystone
Party nominee for govornor, has up to
date failed to roply to tho charge that
ho mado a deal with liquor mon and
representatives of liquor interests,
both prior to and at tho Allontown
convention, to win tho support of sa
IoonkeopcrB and othors afllllatod with
the liquor traffic in his effort to win
tho Democratic gubernatorial nomina
tion. Although it Is somo time slnco
Mayor Llebcl, of Erie, formally charg
ed Mr. Borry with holding a confer
ence with "Jim" Mulvlnill, tho liquor
men's state representatives, at Allen
town, with a view to getting tho votes
of certain delegates in the Democratic
convention, Mr. Berry has made no
specific denial.
The chnrge is now made that during
tho gathering of Domocrats at Harris
burg, whon the dato for tho stato con
vention was being determined upon,
Mr. Borry mot representatives of tho
Lackawanna county Democracy, who
are largely interested in the whisky
and browcry business, and gavo them
such assurances that he was promised
the votes of tho delegates to tho Dem
ocratic stato convention.
When the Lackawanna dolcgation
reached Allontown they wanted a di
rect interview with Mr. Berry, and
they wero closeted with him In a room
on the Hotel Allen for some time. Then
and thore Berry assurod them that if
he was olectod govornor ho would do
nothing to further tho cause of local
option and they could depend upon
him to bo absolutely neutral.
So satisfactory wero the guarantees
given thom by Mr. Borry that every
man in tho dolegatlon when the roll
was called in tho Democratic conven
tion voted for William H. Berry.
Liquor Men For Berry.

Thousands of British Workmen

Many thousand British workmen are on a strike or havo been "locked out"
by their employers. Instead of destroying property or creating disturbances,
tho English workers held quiot conferences near tho scones of their labors to
try to convlnco their opponents of the necessity of Joining in the movement.
The pictures show groups of workmen talking over tho situation, while- an
enthusiast endeavors to persuado some of them to quit work. Tho employers
locked out 38,000 men in the northern shipyards because they 'were tired of
constant petty strikes nnd breaches of the national conciliation agreement
signed by the employers and tho men's loaders in March, 1000. Tho employers

Would havo sacrificed oven those they

actively with tho commuuc, deluging
what public buildings they could with
petroleum nnd then setting light to

out in Paris ou tho entry of the troops
originated through their action. They
went down into the streets nnd fought
at the barricades, showing superhu

Tho ofTcnco of leso majesty bids

A Beautiful Alloy.
Dr. Roborts-AuBton of England ha
uccecded in ranking out of gold and
aluminum a compound metal or al
loy which Is said to be the most
brilliant known. Its general huo 1b a
splendid purple, but as It Is turned In
tho light it reflects bright tints of
ruby color.
A llttlo more than three-quarters
moro accurately, 78 per cent. of tha
alloy is gold, the romalnder being
aluminum,
Certain of tho expectations with
respect to the possibility of substi
tuting aluminum for steel and iron
are not likely to be realized, but that
metal Is proving of great uso in com
bination with others, and tho discov
ery by Dr. Roberts-Austen, is expect
ed to lead to the production of very
beautiful effects in Jewelry. Harper's
Weekly.
Health In Cities.
Municipal responsibility for the
health of the people is a well estab
lished proposition. But the cities hold
to the theory and, despite all that la
actually done, disregard the fact In
many ways. There may bo some
clash of departments, a case of over
lapping or disputed Jurisdiction, and
insanitary conditions are allowed that
aro more detrimental to public health
than all the efforts that are made to
obviate disease are productive of
beneficial results. Often the case Is
one of pure neglect, Ignorance or In
difference. Only recently havo tha
school authorities In American cities
undertaken to lessen disease at Its
source among the children of tho
schools. Yet not half has been done
that might be done; indeed, not a
fraction. Baltimore American.
Tacoma's Great Stadium.
Tacoma's High School, which playa
an Important part in Pacific Coast
athletics, Is the only high school in
America having an Olympic stadium,
if not the only one in the whole
world.
' It is a ponderous mass of steel and
concrete, Just comploted at a cost o
more than $100,000, in a gulch at ono
side of the high school building. The
gulch happened to be Just the right
shape for the stadium, so but little
excavation was required. The struc
ture Is shaped like a horseshoe, with
tho open end overlooking Commence
ment Bay. It will seat 25,000 people,
has a centre sufficiently large for
baseball, football, track and field
events, nnd will also bo used for out
door musical concerts and entertain
ments. Spare the Invalid Nerve Irritation.
Silk petticoats, starched wearables
and creaking shoes should be avoided
by tho attendant in an invalid's
room. Whispering Is intensely irri
tating to a sick person, who naturally
concludes that his symptoms are so
had that they havo to bo discussed
in nn undertone. Conversation be
tween tho nurso and visitors should
bo in a low tono of voice, but quite
distinct; If there Is anything to be
said that tho Invalid must not hear,
it would better bo said In the hall,
entirely out of his sight, earshot and
imagination. A small tablo in tho
hall, outside the sick room, will bo
appreciated by the nurso and by who
ever has to deliver and call for tho
invalid's food tray. Detroit News-Tribune.
Tho Shakespeare-Bacon Controversy.
Tho Shnkespeare-Bacon controver
sy is still on the carpet No, it has
by no means boen settled that Bacon
wroto tho Shakespearean plays. It
cannot even be said that a strong
presumption of the Baconian author
ship hns been established. The writ
ings of Donnelly and othors on that
side show a great deal of Ingenuity,
and prove that they havo given to the
subject a vast amount of patient re
search; but npart from that their
work counts for nothing. It has not
been proven that Shakespeare did not
write tho plays bearing his name, nnd
until that is dono tho "Bard of Avon"
remains In possession of tho honor of
tholr authorship.
Sir Walter Scott's Debts.
You nro wrong In thinking that Sir
Walter cleared tho slate before his
death. Tho Ballantyno failure threw
upon Scott the responsibility for
130,000 poundB, or $050,000, and tho
grand old man immediately sot about
tho mighty task of paying it, but, not
withstanding tho most heroic efforts
on his part, ho nover succeeded in
paying it all. Ho did the best he
could but he had to depend solely
upon his writings, and tho task was
moro than mortal man could accom
plish. As his powers failed he bo
came possessed of tho Idea that nil
bis debts were paid and that ho was
a freo man; and in this belief he hap
pily remained till his death.
A Prank of the Sea.
Somo yenrs ago a certain Captain
Hodson, nftorwnrd an Inspector In tho
Honolulu customs force, had a ro
mnrkable experience when tho schoon
er of which ho was In command was
caught in n storm.
While Hodson stood with tho mnn
nt the wheel, to sco that tho schooner
was kept ahead of the wind, nn enor
mous wave swept tho vessel from
stern to bow, throwing tho wheelman
flat on his face and tossing tho cap
tain overboard.
As Hodson was s'opt over tho sldo
Into the foaming water tho ropes
holding , boom hroko and let tho
hook drop to tho deck, with ono end
hnnglng out over tho side of the
schooner. A broken rope dangling
from this end hit tho captain on tho
hoad, and Instinctively he seized it.
Tho speed of the vessol dragged him
along besldo her. Presently the ves
sel gave a tremendous lurch, and her
bulwarks went under water, whon a
gigantic wave tossed tho captain
aboard again. His presonce gave tho
man nt tho wheel n terrible shock,
for he thought the captnln had been
drowned. They finally weathered tho
storm and brought the schooner and
her cargo safely to port.
It Is thought that this Is the only
instance of record of a man having
been washed overboard and then
washed back again.

Irish Bulls.
The origin of the word "bull," as
tho definition of a confused utterance,
I', doubtful. Somo philologists say it
comes from the French boule
"fraud"; and others that it is de
rived from tho Icelandic bull "non
sense." Many definitions havo been
attempted, but the best probably is
that of Sydney Smith. Writing of tho
difference between wit and "bulls,"
ho says, "Wit discovers real relations
that aro apparent, 'bullB' admit ap
parent relations that aro not real.
The stronger the apparent connection
and the more complete tho real dis
connection of tho Ideas the greater
the surprise and tho hotter the 'bull.' "
