r Highest of til in Leavening absolutely pure MAN MAY YET FLY. Wonderful lllrdtlkn Mwhlna Ci.ntrnrld by rnfr"i)r l.lllrnlhMl. Can o wan fly? Leniiieil professors o. the sciences of aeronautics iifrreo. that he Daiuint, awl a formidable eommfsainn of txMt appointed by the German government to investigate into the pos ibilitieHof aerial navigation have final ly and decisively ami officially said that It I Impossible, .''tin an ingenious nun observant Gorman of t lit nanio of Otto Lilicnthiil. nfter a Ions series of experi ineiits and in thofaceof the decisions of Iho eminent soientihts, has succeeded in nrovimr that a clever niiui can fly, and flv for considerable distances too. Professor Lilientlial, like most men who have solved difficult problems, has gono clear away from the principles to which other men have found limitations. When he decided to fly, in other words, he left the possibilities afforded by the balloon entirely out of his calculations Balloons, said he, are exude affairs, dau serous, not to be depended upon, lion dirigible aiid clumsy. There is nothing in nature bnilt upon tho principle of the balloon, vet there are tilings in im- tnre which can fly, and fly much better than the best balloons. Those things are birds. To the birds, then, I will go for the model of mv frying machine. And to the birds he went. From these same birds it was thnt Professor Lilientlial learned tho true DriiiciDles of aerial navigation, which principles he has succeeded to a degree in adapting to the uses of man. He first learned that it is the concave shape of abird'swingthat enables it to soar, rul ing or falling at will without muscular exertion in the teeth of a high wind. Then he learned that a bird's wing bones are constructed similarly to those in a man's arm. Knowing these things, ho built his flying machine, or, to be more correct, his soaring machine. Ho made for himself of light but impervi ous ootton cloth and split willow wands two immense wings 28 feet from tip to tip, and a practicable if not highly or namental rudder or tail. He preserved in their construction as nearly as possible the form of a bird's wings and tail, increasing the parabolio curve of the bird's wings to the exact proportionate degreo for his larger ones. These wings and tho tail, weighing in all only 25 pounds, are so constructed as to fold up like tho wings of a hat. Having completed them, tho professor adjusted them to his arms, took a run along a hilltop and calmly and confi dently jumped over the side, spread ing his wings as he did so. He soared some distanco and alighted in sufety and comfort. He repeated his experi ment many, many times, learning huw to control his apparatus, how to change direction, how to rise or descend at will. Ho improved his wings and tail and kept on practicing until now he can soar for several hundred yards, rise to a much greater height than he Min ted from and fulfill moat of tho functions of a big bird, save only that of propelling himself in still air and starting his flight from level ground. These two things a man is not strong enough to do, the bird poasessing much greater strength for its size and weight than t lie most muscular man. But what Profes sor Lilienthal lacks in strength he has made up in ingenuity, for he has now constructed a little motor, operated by carbonic acid gas, which, while it adds scarcely anything to the weight of his flying apparatus, is capable of develop ing continuously two horsepower, or more than enough energy to work the Wings. Indeed in the first trial the lit tle motor developed too much strength and broke the wings, putting a stop to further experiments for the time. If Professor Lilientlial succeeds in perfecting tho great invention, theprac ticability of which ho has already dein oustrated, and in making aerial navi gat ion on the simple principles favored by the birds safo for mankind, he will have achieved a notable triumph over the wonderful foroos of nature us we as the world's greatest scientists. Anil he seems very likely to succeed, unless he should grow cureless in handling his experimental wings and perehaneo fall victim to the awful fato which overtook the lamented and legendary Icarus, the first man who attempted to fly. Chi oago Times. THE BALLOON CYCLE. The Lateat French Army Meanit of Carryiuff War IIUpatcheK. There floated over tho hamlet of Til leneuve la Garonne the other afternoon in midair a balloon. Suddenly it ;i peared to burst and fell rapidly toward tho earth. Fearing thut a disaster had occurred, the terrified folk ran to tin spot ut which they expected the aerostat would reach the ground, when to their amazement they saw a parachute detach itself from the cur and descend gently. Immediately the earth was touched one of tho passengers jumped upon a small bicycle which lie hud brought with him from the aerial regions, and he disap peared in the direction of Lovullois, in the neighborhood of Paris, as rapidly as the machine could cany him. The explanation of this singular oc currence is simple. The balloon was the Caliban, and the ascent was made from Levallois by Captain Capaua and M, Hervien, the latter being the cyclist. Their object was to test the possibility of a balloon being used for carrying war dispatches, and they assumed that an enemy succeeded in destroying it. Yet they proved that by means of tho para chute they would be able to make good their escape and to outdistuuee their pur suers with the aid of the portable lu cycle. London Telegraph.

The report Of Mr. Secretary Dewey to the board of regents of the university 000 tains D great deal of information re garding the progress of the secondary ami higher education in the Kmpire Stale. Of special interest is the light thrown OH the position occupied by New York among American commonwealths With respect to the facilities afforded for tho nciidcinitiil, collegiate and pro fessional Instruction of women. It appears from the statistics collect ed by Mr. Dewey that there were last year in the secondary schools of this stato 19,080 girls of academic grade and only is.-.' I. 'I boys. Of 438 honor credentials issued, 21)8, or more than two-thirds, were gained by girls. In our colleges the number of women gradu ates roso to S.li'.'a, one being reported from Columbia, 8H from the city uni versity, "til from the coeducation col leges nnd 2,07s from tho eight women's colleges. In the professional and tech uical schools there were 4.04:1 women, including eight in law schools and 21(1 in medical schools. The ITniversalist seminary at Canton reports threo fe male students in theology. By the so culled special schooli 8 868 women were returned of these, S, 780 am credited to Pratt institute, 2"il to the Teachers' college, 1!I to the State Normal college, 808 to the Woman's Art school, 1HN to the Grand Conservatory of Music ami 121 to tho Cooper Union night schools. So fnr as the United States are eon- corned. New Y'ork has always held the first place in woman's education. In deed the Albany Female academy cluinis to bo the first instiution for the higher education of women over founded in the world. This is no doubt true as re gards establishments exclusively design ed for the female sex, but it must be remembered that in the middle ages women were permitted not only to study but to teach ill Italian universities. n t urlv and well known rival of the Albanv institution was Miss Km ma Wil- lard's school at Trov. It is the boast of Klmiru college that its charter of April 18, 1888, made it the first degree conferring eollegesolely for women, while Vassar, which started with a generous endowment on Jan. 18, lKdl, immediately acquired a recog nized leadership as the first of the gn at establishments for I lie higher instruc tion of women. Thus it appears that all four claimants to the honor of first hav ing done effective work on a large scale for woman's education are New York in stitutions. Another fact la Warta record ing: Although New York n ports six colleges for women mid four for eoedu cation, only Yarsar, Cornell and Syra cuse are included in the national asso ciation, yet these three alone furnish about 40 por cent of the list of women holding degrees from recognized col-; leges. Teaching is still tho favorite profes sion of luglily educated women. Ac cording to tire census of IWHI, there were in the whole Union 118,880 men and 238, 111) 7 women teachers. Of the teach- rs in tho New Y ork common schools : 2(1,8(1!) nre women. Hut woman's teach ing is no longer limited to primary i grades. She bus steadily won her way through grammar schools, high schools and colleges to chairs in universities. It should not be inferred, however, that a majority of the graduates of female col leges nre animated with the purpose of pursuing any professional calling. Tho remarkable development attained of late years by New York institutions for the higher education of women is duo to a widespread recognition of the fact that a college course wisely planned and in dustriously followed affords tho best preparation for tin. Intelligent discharge of the functions of wifehood and moth erhood and tho duties of home life. Tho movement to which we have here referred is increasing at B surprising rate. The number of girls in this state who entered college last year from schools saporvlsed by the board of re gents was 84 per cent greater than it WM the year before, and the Dumber of those now preparing to enter will show, ns we ure informed, a similar augmen tation. Tho best colleges for Women are fur from being able to receive all the qualified applicants. New colleges are continually being founded, and, what will prove of even more utility, the old er colleges and universities are rapidly opening to women their facilities for in struction. In American colleges gener ally the proportion of female students is considerably larger than it was even a few years ago. For instance, the at tendance of Women at the University of Michigan rose last year from 88 per cent to ,')7 per cent. The author of this report expresses the belief that early in tho next century our colleges will grad uate more women tliun men, jiist ns the academies do now. New York Sun. I i I In Tliaxler. Mrs. Cells Theater, us any reader of "An Islund (liuden" would know, is a true enthusiast in her love of nature. To a visitor recently to her lovely islund homo at the isles of Shoals she confessed that she was often in her beloved gur- len us early as !l o'clock in the morning. The garden is further described as ir resistible in its wealth of loveliness. On the right were the larkspurs and day lilies, a radiance of "white and gold mid azure. tlicre, too, were nods ot liril- limit poppies, and everywhere was a mass oi lragrunr nio.mi. Among tin. novelties of the garden were the water lilies growing ill large tule., the pink Capo Cisl lily, the Kgyptiau lotus, and on the step at the very feet of the gar- n's queen was the fringed and tufted parrot s feather growing m a wiaslun pnil of water, with a Ut of mud in it.

A company of gentlemen sat in the office of the Hotel Pal ares in Pomona the oilier evening waiting for a late train to U)S Angeles. RSjOh one of the parly knew every one Isi , cigars were freely passed around, mid ull we en 1 joying u talk about early experiences on the frontier, ami atpeoiaUjr in southern California, before railroads were built in (his region The ls st story of the evening wis told by Colonel John Wil liamson, one of the most important orange growers in southern California. "From IS?.'! until 1878," ho said, "I wns engaged by a Chicago lunilier company to tnvel through the country from Denver to St. Louis to look up openings for lumber yards, it was my business to visit mw tow ns and settle ments, and When 1 found men of Capi tal in them to fndnoe them to go into tho lumber business and buy of the Chi cago concern. At that time Oguhilla, on the Union Pacific railroad, was fa mous throughout the country us the tOUghesI place iii the we st. Then Dislge City, Kan., came Into prominence for its cowboy episodes and the rough, lough and desperate character of a large portion of its residents. 1 pursed u night ill Dodge City in October, 170, and I assure you that I came quickly to the conclusion that life in any other town Would be tame and without excitement in comparison with (lie pleasures that place could afford. "On one side of the railroad track stooil a big barn like building culled the Ajneri oo Mexican hotel, and on the oth er l row of 20 or !!0 one story frame boOSOS, almost every one of w hich was a barroom, with a gambling house at tached. Over the doors hung such signs in 'Cowboys' Retroat, ' 'The Divan' and The Frontiersman's Delight.' Behind the town, on top of the hill, wusthecity graveyard. An immense cross stood at the top of tho bill and served as u land mark for travelers for miles and miles across the barren prairies. That grave yard was the pride of every man who lived in Dodge City. The inhabitants wstched it grow and pointed with pleas ure to the fact that there was hardly a inuii taking his final rest there who had not come to his death by violence. "It was toward Si tern OOP when I halted my horse in front of the Amcri 00 Mexican hotel after a 10 mile ride. Heavily armed men stood about in groups. The looks thrown at me were far from reassuring, but 1 pretended not to see them and hastened into the ho tel. Hardly had I taken my seat in the dining room when four men, evidently forming a delegation, approached me. They demanded to know what brought me to Dodge City in a way which left me no alternative but to answer. My answers seemed satisfactory, and one of them informed me the reason of their curiosity. They had some idea that I was a deputy sheriff and frankly told me that if I hud been 1 should have been escorted out of town, as no gov ernment officers were wanted about Dislge City that night. They further informed me that there was to bo one of the pretliest lynching beisintowu thnt night that hud ever taken place. "Threo men hud como to Dodu'o Cilv 10 weeks before and had taken the town By Storm, They hud made their head- quarters at a tavern almost opposite the ' botel nnil liail levied 11 lav on everv one who entered. Anybody who objected to paying or standing treat was beaten, uud when resistance was shown pistols were used. Ten men hud received death wounds from these threo men, and tho town had determined lo set un example to all such characters by hanging the three without ceremony. It wns not easy, however, to accomplish this, as tho men were intrenched In the barroom and refused to come out or allow any one to enter. It had been determined to dislodge them that night in spile of all resistance, uud I was invited to take part in tin- affair. The men were named Hank Martin, Jack Willis and Wat SimmOttS and were desperate outlaws, with large sums upon their heads, "Just at dark the citizens of Dodge City prepared for battle. The attacking parties Were divided into two forces. Ono approached the point of attack from the rear, while the larger number inarched up to the front. All the citi zens wore handkerchiefs over their faces. I was in the main body of attackers, or rather behind it. We were brought to u sudden halt by u rifle shot from one of the windows of the besieged house, mill i one of our leaders fell. Various means were fried to dislodge the three men, but to no purpose. Every limn the ' slightest advance was made their rifles rang out, and some one on our side drop ' ped. At lust a small man slipped up in J the shallow of the adjacent building and throw a lighted can of kerosene under the building. Soon it begun to burn, At last ii was enveloped in games, and the three men were obliged to rush for their lives. They were half blinded by the heat and smoke of the burning building, so they were quickly captured, "Then all the citizens of Dodge City, not excepting the women snd children, formed in line ami marched down to the cattle pens where an old tree stiKxl that bad served several times us a gal lows. A rope had been brought along, and it was quickly thrown over a branch, and everything was ready for the hanging. It was at first intended to dispose of all threo at the same time, but tlicre was not enough rope, so it was decided to hang one al a time. Jack Willis was the first to be strung up. His did was hastened by S dozen bul lets, Which were tired into the laidy while it was still writhing. Wat Sim mons was then disposed of. "Next came the turn of Hank Martin, and all held their breath when tho boldest despi rai In know n on the plains ill those days was brought out. .Inst as the big, powerful fellow was led under the tree be made a sign that he wanted to say something. The gag was removed from Martin's liioinh. ami he said: " 'If you will take this rope from round sty need msd slightly loosen Usees bonds, l will tell you men something tii.it will total est you all. ' "There seemed no danger, with so many on guard, so his n quest was com plied with Winn his fetters Were loosoued, he rose, stretched himself and begun his speech: " 'You are a set of villains,' he yell ed, 'and you can all go to hell!' "He kiiiaked down the two men in art st to him ami made a dash for the sagebrush on the open prairie. All the horses w ere left outside the b.irr i when the desper.nlia-s were captured. A few men dashed into tho s.ige after Martin, which made it imjaatsible for the men onder tbe tree to use their guns, lost 1 1 1 v lul some ol the pursuers. After ail hour's useless chase the hunt was given up for the night, "At daylight the next morning a ranchman rode into D,nign City ami slsotrifled the town by saying he had seen .Mull in in-ai Foil ,iiuy, I" miles below He said he bad just flnislied bis breakfast win ii ii hat less man, whom he recognized as Martin, came in and demanded shelter. The ranchman sus. poo ted something wss wrong from the nun's milliner mid ut once started for I lodge City mill guve the alarm. Thirty men immediately suddled their horses and stalled in pursuit of Hie mini Ihej had avowed to hang. As they appi'oacli ed iho hut u man appeared in the door with Winchester rifle III his hand. Without a word he opened fire on flic advancing party. Two men dropped from their saddles, nnd as Ihu re. I oi the parly put spins to their bOSW I and dashed Inward the hut Martin, who hud done the shooting, rushed down the bill and plunged into the Fox river.

All iho horsemen drew up along (lie hank ami waited in readiness to slio.,! Martin should he by uny chance get across. They waited half an hour, mid us there w as no sight of him tin y retained to Dodge City. Thut af ternoon the other two desperadoes were buried ill what is known as '.Murderers' row,' and beside the graves was placed a board, "l'o the memory oi Hank Martin, drowned iii the Fox river while escaping rapt are. ' "Two years ufter leaving Dodge City I chanced to bo in a little Texas town that i don't want to mention here, A man passed mo on the street one duy whoso face was strikingly familiar.

He told me that Martin came to the town curly in 8;(), when it was first started. He in vested money in town lots and made a fortune. He was u promoter of schools and churches and was talked of for the next mayor. That night I was at my hotel when a tall man, with n slouched hat, walked in. He looked round and then ciinie struiglit to me, " 'Are you tho man, ' ho said, 'who has been telling u yarn about Hank Martin being lynched?' "I acknowledged that I was.

A MERCHANT IN POLITICS. M llllnnnlre Jiihn I . H urst Stands For fiov ernnr of Maryland. Mr. John K. Hurst, Democratic can didate for governor of Maryland, is a leading citizen ami one of the riohest mer chants of Balti more. He has never held office and has not tukeu avery active part in politics. Mr. Hurst comes of an old Maryland family and wus born ut Ware Neck Farm, near JOHN Hi HuBST. Cambridge, in Dorchester couuty. His father, Stephen Hurst, wus a successful farmer nnd a local preacher in the Meth- '"list Kpiseopal church. Young Hurst entered Cambridge academy in 1847, nml two years later went to Baltimore to begin his business career. His first employment was us clerk iii a retail dry goods house, but wholesale business being more to his tusto he soon allied himself with a wholesale firm. His progress wus rapid, and in 1 8.57 ho established the firm of Hurst & Co., With his cousin, William It. Hurst, ns a partner. Siueo then he has prospered space and is now lit the head of one of the largest importing und jobbing In. uses in tho south. Mr. Hurst has been active in other business enterprises. Ho is a director in the Baltimore board of trade, vice pies ident, of the National Exchange bank, a trustee of the Johns Hopkins hospital and ex-president of the Merchants uud Manufacturers' association, und is iden tified with other local commercial and benevolent Institutions. Mr. Hurst lives as befits a millionaire in a fine double mansion on Cathedral street at the west end of Mount Vernon place. During the summer he resides ut his country seat, Hurstleigh, six miles from Baltimore. When in Baltimore, he attends St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal church, of which ho is a vestryman. Tho wife of Mr. Hurst was Miss Mary R. Hell, a daughter of Dr. Ephraim Bell, and ono of his daughters. Miss Nancy Hurst, was wedded lust June to Lieutenant W.

Mrs. Mary Agin s Wolf, .'!.' years old, died at berbome on Wednesday evening Dr. J. A. Bonders, who bud lust attended lier, wrote .1 certillcute thai death was ne 10 inanition ami heart trouble and excessive grief. The board of health re leoted the ccrtilicalc, nnd it came to the coroner's office. At the liome of the dead woman it was said thai she lived with her fans bund, George Wolf, an employee of the .Metropolitan Traction company. Mary Melviu, the aged mother of the dead woman, had -hand their humble apart ments since the time of their marriage, five years ago. The mother and daugh ter had l i eu constant companions all (heir lives. Melvin, who was an Eng lishman, died when Mrs. Wolf was an infant. Lust October Airs. Melun was strick en with n slow but filial disease. Duy ami night the daughter waited upon her till her death, in dune lust. For u few days Mrs. Wolf wept iuces antly.

Her hus band talked willi her about the folly of keeping the memory of her dead mother ill mind, but she would not be consoled. She Stopped going out uud gradually reused to purlakc of food. After a time she became so weak thut she was obliged to take to her bed.

An Instance or it Toward a Hero of tbe I'ranen-lierntaii War. A pathetic story of national ingrati tude hSJI been going tint rounds of the London papers, which is interesting enough to be repented, especially as it concerns thnsu days of intense interest during which Paris was last in siege. Publicity has been given it by the fact that the hero of the incident has just gone info a French hospital In poverty, there to die, Tho Pall Mall Gasette thus tells the tale: "When the German lines In the au tumn of 1870 were gradually ( losing their boa constrictor grasp round tho doomed capital, Durnof was tho hero of the hour. An experienced aeronaut, who had time times been dashed into the sea and hud run many other narrow es capes, hu proposed, wi Hi his balloon, Nep tune, to carry a mail out of Paris and to run tho guntlet of the beleaguering armies. At daybreak on Sept. 89 ho set out on his adventurous journey, the di rector of tho posts assuring him ns he handed in the dispatohesnnd the pigeons that his courage ami devotion would meet with n splendid reward. Durnof succeeded in his task uud landed saio and sound at Bvrenx, but the poor old Neptune was never fit for another as cent. " Twenty-two years elapsed, but the Unhappy aeronaut never received a ponny from successive governments, (Even ii is claim for tho value of his bal loon, which had been used till it was destroyed by tho military authorities, tailed to obtain the slightest reoogni tion. Alter :i couplu of decades ho got tho bronze medal accorded to all who carried dispatches by balloon, and Inst year n small monthly grant was made, which barely sufficed to keep him from starvation. Swindlers and impostors of all kinds laid I ho foundation of future fame and fortnno in the siego of Paris, but the tlr.-t man who opened up com munications between the imprisoned In habitants and the outer world seems likely to dio in dishonor and despair. Extraordinary Longevity In Chile. The lust census of Chile furnishes some interesting statistics relative to longevity of certain representatives !f tho human ruce, who live in thai far away corner of "Latin" or "Spanish" America, According to tho figures in question, in the 2:! provinces of Chile the enumerators found 211 men and 27:1 women who had passi d the century milestone.

RENEWAL OF YOUTH A STRANGE STORY FROM A NE BRASKA VILLAGE, Villager Kxelled liter the Ineieaaetl Vigor of l lie Ohler I nlinlill.o.u Bspsnsass or tmo "Vets." Kroni the Urn 1.1 Herald, Omaha, Nib. A World-Herald reporter was in fracted by the SVidenOS of renewed ac tivity of some of the older inhabitants of the village of liruoc, a suburb of OmahSi Nob. , and inquired the cause. Mr. Andrew Finkeukeler, who was a member of Company n of the F'irst Iowa Volunteers during the war, made the following explanation so far us he himself is conceruud: "in July, I8t)0, while my company was on tho march through to Austin, Texas, 1 whs attacked with rheuma tism of the worst kind in one leg, ut Alexander, Louisiana. Hoiug weak, I was sunstuek and remained uncon scious for several hours. Kvery sum mer since I have boon unable to stand the heat of the sun, and have been compelled to give up my work. There was in my head u bearing -down feel ing, which increased until it seemed my head would burst, and it caused a ringing in my curs, and palpitation of the heart set in, so that the slightest I noise would set my heart thumping. Several limes it has rendered me un conscious for from seven to ten hours ' ut a time. In addition to this the rheumatism extended up my entire side until it drew my head down oil my shoulder. 1 lost my strength and flesh and was totully unfit for work. "For twenty-eight years I have eon- suited physicians and taken their pre scriptions without deriving any muter- ial benefit. My ailments increased in intensity until 1 was assured that there was no hope for me. I hiring lust year I went into the butcher business, but the dampness from the ice used in creased my rheumatic pains to such uu extent that 1 wus not only compelled to quit the business, but wus eouliued to my house and lied for nearly six mouths. "In November lust 1 read in the World-Herald a cr.se of a man who had been entirely cured from the ailments from which 1 was suffering, by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People. On November 28 1 purchased II box. In a week 1 was astonished to know that I felt better thuu 1 hud for six months past, and before I hud used half a box the ringing in my ears be gan to lessen in volume and finally left me. The pain from the rheumatism gradually left me, so that within one week from the time I took my first pill I was able to sit up in bed. On Jan uary 1st I was able to go out and walk around a little. The palpitations of my heart entierly ceased. On Febru ary U I was so thoroughly cured that I accepted 11 position as night watchmaii in the Forest Lawn cemetery, remain ing out of doors from 0 P. 11 until (i A. M. I have gained in weight from 144 pounds, which I weighed in No vember hist, to 172 pounds, which I weigh now. For nerve building and for enriching the blood Pink Pills are unexcelled.

"What is (ho probable loss from the flro on pipe Stumpage throughout the tate" was asked of a leading logger. "The loss is in one sense nominal, " replied he. "You understand, flro does en: burn tlie body of u piuo tree. It only burns i ff the bark and foliage. The trunk of the burned tree is as good as aver it was, with this exception tho tree, after it is burned, must be cut the Mice; eding winter, else it will become i worm eaten and worthless. "This tire is a blessing in disguise to labor. Every owner frf burned pine Stumpage must go to work this coming winter and cut every foot of it, and many of those owners are forced to (tut perhaps hundreds of millions of feet of ; stumpage they would not otbl rwise have cut for years to come. They are, you 1 see, forced to employ Immense crews of men tiny would not otherwise have had use for. " St. Paul tilobe.
