The craze for flying has hit this
city hard and even women and chil
dren are now grappling with the pro
blcm or ome of them at least of
the conquest of the air. This week
has seen the organization of the first
feminine flying club, whose mem
bers are very much in earnest in as
serting that wives have just at good
a right to fly as husband. Juvenile
interest is being encouraged by the
Aeronautic Society which' is to of
fer a scriet of prizes for kite flying
competition by school ; chldren,
While kite-flying may seem to be
but distantly related to man-flying,
thi it by no mean the case. One of
America's ' foremost aeronauts, . Dr
Alexander Graham Bell, has experi
mented for year with kites.: So in
offering prize for juvenile kite fly
ing the Aeronautic Society , is not
only stimulating interest in a very
important detail, but is furthering
the chief purpose of it organization,
which it to arouse interest In flying
among all claw. .To thi end it of
fers the free use of its grounds and
shops at Morris Park to budding
aeronauts. Instruction in flying will
be given at the . same place, where
the city's first flying school i locat

pretty thoroughly Infected with tfi

ing interest ana enthusiasm it may

to give to awaiting world thd 'first

quenter of the large hotel along

at present in examining their jfinger

atsfactorily, A noted , college pro
fessor lia caused thi worry by an
nouncing that if labor saving devi
ce' continue to invade all fields of
daily life' the human being will soon
lose all incentive for independent ac
tion and will become only an animat
ed automaton, which will go through
life pressing buttons, and dropping
coins 'in the slots of automatic ma
chine. Country .people, this scientist
holds, need not fear an early ap
proach of thi evolutionary change,
since they are less fully supplied
with self-working appliances. It is
rather in the big cities, and particu
larly in the large hotel, that he sees
the near approach of a race hope
lessly dependent being. When a
man doesn't even have to open a
door for hhmelf he hold that the
automatic age has surely arrived.
These observations on the part of
the professorial reasoner were In
spired by the installation in the Ho
tel Astor of an electric motor which,
by the mere pressing of a button,
turns the doors without effort on
the part of the person entering or
leaving the hotel. On the other
entrances for a good many years do
not seem to be either alarmed or
hand, New Yorkers, who have had to
push heavy revolving door at hotel
changed by the innovation. Mr. F.
A. Muschcnheim, the manager of
the Astor, is the Edison of hotel
men, so far as the use of automatic
device go, but he doesn't take any
stock in the professor's alarm over
the ill effects of the multiplication of
self-operating machintry. "There
will always be plenty of big thing to
keep people busy in New York," he
say, "and you can't blame them if
they like to save trouble in dealing
with small things in, every , possible
way, by the use of automatic device."
The "Little Church Around the
Corner," probably the most famous
church in the country, has just pass
ed its sixtieth birthday. Known in
literature! and even in song, it is the
one church in Amerca which hat a
national reputation!' Few persons,
however, know the origiri of the pop
ular name,-or the correct name of
this church. Its proper designation" is
the Church of the Transfiguration.
It jwas originally orgaijied by twen
ty persons in 1848, and had its first
home on Twenty-fourth Street, just
west of Fifth Avenue. Today it has
nineteen hundred communicants, and
within (he last jen yean the "original
pastor, Dr. Houghton, was succeed
ed as vicar by his nephew, so" that
the church has had men of the same
name at' 'its pastors ' thnnuhout ' Its
history, it was not until the early
rentiesthat .the church attained
the nickname by which it is :ttow
generally known. On the day of the
death of George Holland, the actor,
his friend, Joseph Jefferson, now al;
so dead, went to a certain church on
Madison avenue to arrange for. Hol
land's funeral. Prejudice against
the stage - was stronger then than it
is now and the pastor refused, to
read the funeral service over an ac
tor. He told Jefferson, however,
that there was a "little church around
the corner" where the funeral might
be conducted the Church of the
Transfiguration. Holland's ' funeral
took place there and .the incident
spread broadcast. Ever since then
this famous church has been known
as the Little Church Around the
Corner.": Many eloping members of
the Four Hundred have been mar
ried' there and most of the famous
actors and actresses who have died
within the past twenty-five years
have been buried from its portals.

POOR RELATION TOMORROW.
Lee Willard in Leading Role, With
' Excellent Cast, Makes Big Hit
Never before has Lee Willard ap
peared to' greater advantage before a
Salem audience" than last: night in
the role of Noah Vale, a seedy
geniti9, in Edward E. Kidder's mas
terpiece drama, "A ' Poor Relation,"
which was presented at the Grand
opera house by Lee Willard and his
company. This wai the first per
formance of the season and it was
greeted by a good sized and highly
pleased audience. This comedy drama
was the great favorite of the cele
brated actor, Sol Smith Russell, and
Mr.: Willards' characterization of the,
leading role, Noah Vale, certainly did
credit to his much revered predeces
sor. ' The cast of characters through
out was the' best that the, theatrical
market can afford and, judging from
the number of curtain calls accord-
ed the, leading characters, if , Mr.
Willard should live to favor a Salem
audience with his appearance again,
he will most ccrtainfy fill the house
to overflowing Salem Statcman.
. THE HONEYMOONERS
Of all the pretty girls who ever
left Broadway to go on the road Geo.
M. Cohan ha enticed away the pret
tiest forty for "The Honeymooncrs,"
which come to the Astoria Theatre
next Sunday, It would be a shame
to let any but beauties wear such
adorable costumes and the result is
the stunningest- chorus on the road.
It i a hard working chorus for there
are no les than 20 musical num
ber and a they are mostly big bits
the encores are numerous. "The
Honeymooncrs" is Cohan' pet song
show; he wrote it for himself to
have a safe and certain vehicle for
an all summer run on Broadway and
he loaded it up with hi best. - The
result was a record-breaking engage
ment last summer at the New Am
sterdam Theatre and a production
that was hailed by the critic as the
best thing Cohan has ever done. The
New York Herald declared that it
was the "Big Cohan show." "The
Honeymooners" comet with a pow

there is but one cause fermentation
of undigested food. , .

wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
