How to protect the medals award
ed by the Carnegie Hero commis
sion and keep them from falling Into
vulgar handB, such as money lenders
and unappreciative persons, Is a prob
lem confronting the commission, and
efforts are making to cover certain
contingencies as to their possession
after tbe death of a hero who bas
received an award.
Wuile the question has been before
tbe commission at several ot Its
meetings no plan has yet been
evolved whereby It can maintain con
trol over . medals after they nave
once been awarded. In the event of
the death of a bero possessing a
medal and leaving no heirs no way
has yet been found whereby the com
mission can prevent the medal from
being sold or hypothecated or falling
into possession of persons for whom
the award of honor bas no signifi
cance.
Several plans have been devised In
outline by Secretary Wilmot ot the
commission, but these have been
found to invite litigation and red
tape It Is desirous to avoid. The
subject probably will again receive
the attention of the commrlslnu at
Its next meeting in October
No contingency of this nature as
a remit of the death of a Carnegli
hero has yet arisen, although there
have been several Instances where
the i-eroes have been rather impecun
ious and others where the medal has
been tbe object of litigation S3 u
personal asset. It is recognized that
the intrinsic value of a medii rather
than Its sentimental signifi.v.nre
n.Uhl appeal to the recipients at any
time tinder trying circumstances, und
that the actual cash which might be
realized on the medal might be of
more real use than the medal. It is
to be prepared for such emergencies
and tc protect the dignity of the pos
session of these awards th.it the com
miss on Is now striving.
The subject was brought np bt this
time by the first reported death nf
a Carnegie hero, which was received
yesterday. The hero was V llllam L.
Wclff, aged 25, of Camden. N. J.,
who died of uremic poisoning sr. his
home In that city on July 20. Wolf!
wus awarded a bronte medal and
$500 on May 16. 1306. Wollt was
a il'ckhand on a ferryboat and on
September 22, 190.1, saved two nion
from drowning In the Dela.v.ire ri
ver, where their boat bad capsized.
Wolff swam 75 feet, placed one man
on th capslzde boat, while be
dragged the other rrom under it
and then swam to shore, pushing the
boat before him.
The money was given Wol I to buy
a fishing yacht with which to Increase
his means of livelihood. In this case
a widow is left and the medil natur
ally falls to her.

BOY INVENTS AN AIRSHIP.
Inventors of aeroplanes, airships
and flying machines will have to
reckon with a serious competitor In
Willie Holt, of 1664 St. Mark's ave
nue, Brooklyn.
Willie Is 17 years old. He lives
with his father, mother and five lit
tle brothers, all of whom are in
clined mechanically. His father Is
a first-class mechanic and Willie
takes after his "dad." He got his
father to build him a workshop, and
with the help ot his little brothers
started to build a flying machine.
He got his brother to let him have
a small alcohol engine that was
used to run a toy stone crusher, and,
taking Borne tin, sticks of wood and
fans, he commenced to build his ma
chine.
For many weeks he worked. All
the disappointments of an Inventor
were his. Sleepless nights and anx
ious days he spent, until at last, yes
terday afternoon, Willie determined
to give his machine a trial. He took
it out Into the back yard, placed the
body of the machine on a box, and,
with the rest of the family watch
ing from the windows, started It go
ing. With a whirr It was off. Willie,
amazed at his success, stood speech
less, the spectators applauded and
all of a sudden something happened.
Willie had neglected to straighten
the rudder of his machine, and, ris
ing from the box to the height of
the boy's head, the airship made a
turn about the yard, ramo back like
a boomerung to where Willie stood
gnplng and bumped Into him.
The youth dropped like one shot,
while the airship, after making a few
more turns, descended gracefully to
the ground beside the young Inven

After a fierce battle with a large

Mrs. W. J. Cole succeeded In de
spatching the animal with a club,,
says the Marsh field Times. Just
how she did It she does not know.,
the fright causing her to forget the

by the animal.
The battle took place In the hen
house on the Cole ranch. Mrs. Cole
went out to gather the eggs to the
afternoon and while she noticed that:
the chickens ran out of the henhouse
before her approach she did not
think anything was wrong. She had
no sooner entered the henhouse than
she noticed the large panther
crouched In one corner just ready
to spring. She dropped the basket
and grabbed a large club which hap
pened to be lying near the door.
While she does not remember, It
must be that she struck Just as the
panther came bounding through the
air at her. Her blow was true, for
tho animal fell at ber feet. In fall

While the first blow probably dis

any chances, but continued to ply the
club until there was no possibility of.
the panther being alive.
