(BMTft Kswi by UmsMt Laajwd Wlrs.) , Parte, Nov. J. Ths moat Interest Ins; . sportlnir went of' ths winter : la Europe will undoubtedly be the great International aeroplane contest -which is to take place between the dates of January I and March 24. neat year, and In which the contestants will have to cross a stretch of open sea six times. The course fixed is from the port of Monaco to Cape Martin and back and the prises to me competed for amount to JO,090. Each competitor will have to travel over the course three, times. This mtmmm that the three Journeys will each . represent nearly six miles above the sea, , ... , The prince of Monaco, who will In augurate his museum of ' oceanography about this time, has accepted the posi tion of president of the aeroplane meet ings The prince has placed at ths Ine. The prince has placed at the dis- poss.1 of the committee the spacious quay of the new port. Arrangements will be triade by which, if an aviator Is unable to start his machine he can land without danger. If, on the other "hand, he starts' without falling, he will be In full flight at 18 feet above hThe "terraces which dominate the bay will provide ample accommodation for the thousands of people who will watch the contest. It is stated that M. Delagrange will compete and it is hoped that several American aviators will take part It Is with a feeling of pride that the French government points to the strik ing unanimity with which the leaders of all parties barked it up during the re cent crisis resulting from the Casa- - Manca Incident, which showed the world that patriotism In France, in spite of party fights, is as strong s ever. The - jirerent ' demeanor of the average Frenchman Is clearly defined by M. Gaston Calm ette In the Figaro. He " points out that the desire of humiliating France is the sole object of Prince Buelow and that French men who talk of peace now would no longer be pa ctflntes, but tools. "If the quarrels of Prtnee Buelow oontnue," -he adds, nhese Frenchmen ; will become the majority In the exas perated country. We must not deceive ourselves, and he among us who would like to calm his patriotic anarr would be swept away like a straw. Indignation creates heroosl Attention!" Paris telephone subscribers have long been at odds with the department and the recent great fire at the Gutenberg exchange embittered the relations. As a result of the disastrous fire the sub scribers were deprived of communica tion and naturally they were not dla . . posed to pay the full amount of the sub- scription. The government officials ikwere appealed to as to whether any reduction would be made and the reply was to the effect that the postoffiee department Intended to Insist on full payment When this reply was made known the . subscribers went on strike. They re fused to psy, but they were not threat ened with legal proceedings so from the department's apathy In the matter they concluded that the authorities were anx- Ions to avoid trouble. The Marquis de Montebelle, as the champion of the telephone subscribers' cause, took legal advice in the matter and offered M. Slmyan, the head of the . department, half as his telephone sub scription in full payment of the quar- ; ter due, but his offer was refused. The subscribers are now wondering what is going to happen. The telephone depart ment Is in a tight corner, since legal opinion has It that the contention of the subscribers that they should, mot pay i for what they have not received Is " sound. A curious story of poisoned wine eomes from St. Etlenne. During Sep tember a couple residing at St. Paul en Jares got In a stock of wine. When they began drinking it they became ill. The husband died on September 30 and his wife followed him s week later. Two nieces became ill In turn. One was taken to a hospital and died, the other recovered. - 'These successive deaths caused a r sinful sensation in the neighborhood, t occurred to the daughter of the dead couple that something might be wrong with the wine. A chemist was called In and his an alysis revealed the presence of arsenic in the liquid. The man who had sold the wine was now communicated with and it turns out that he himself is seriously ill and not expected to recover An Inquiry was instituted. The wine dealer's father-in-law had been charged with the duty of bottling the wine tn the absence of his son-in-law. The liquid appeared to him to be less clear than It ought to be so he decided to add tartaric, but the bag he emptied Into the barrel contained arsenic. (Special Dlapateh to Tfc Jocm.aU Washington.

LAST OF OLD-TIM MEDICINE MEN DIES Ilut-cho-nn-pah, Who Claimed Power Over Lightning, Led the Final Creek Rebellion in 1880. Guthrie, Okla., Nov. it.

For half a cen tury he had been one of the most tur bulent spirits among the Indians in Oklahoma. He maintained his sway until his death. Hut-cho-nu-pah led the last rebellion of the Creeks in 1 RS0. His faction was subdued bv the Creeks themselves be fore the United States troops go there. A battle was fought, Hut-cho-nu-pah's band of 60 was annihilated and he was condemned to death.

Of smart stature, and with a high pitched, almost feminine . voice, the lecturer did not look the nart of an ad venturous African explorer and admin istrator, his remarks netrayed rather tne scnoiar ana scientuio student than the adventurer. "Americans have done just as much as the British in opening the vast re gion of the Congo," he said, "but they do not herrecelve the-recognltlon and honor they should. Your discoverers are more honored in England than in the states. "The Americans who have aided so materially In this danserous work are the missionaries. - I attach the greatest ethical value to the Influence of the missionaries. Their splendid work is really beyond any ordinary meed tf praise. "The Congo Is one of the most Inter esting and valuable regions of the world. Here the flora and fauna take you backward through time. Animals and plants and men are living in the Congo as they did at a time antedating ine siono age in uruain ana me con tinent They are the living counter parts of the fossils we have preserved to us of the life of that early date in other portions' of the earth."
