Season Will Be Interna

Competitors to Trarel
Over Course Three Times.

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.

last of the medicine men, is dead
in the Snake hills of the Creek nation.
He was 95 years old. 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.
But so great was the awe tn which
the old medicine man was held that no
one could be found to be his exeoution

a friend as chief, and was pardoned.

(Special Dtopatah to The Journal.)
Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-irSlr Harry
Hamilton Johnson, the most eminent
English colonial authority since Cecil
Rhodes, African explorer, a-lhor and
scientist, delivered an lllustra Ml address
in the museum of the ITnfterslty of
Pennsylvania upon "The Congo State,
Its Fauna and Its Peoples."
Dr. Johnston for he la a doctor sev
eral times over, as well as a knight
arrived in this city from Washington,
where he was the guest of President
Roosevelt, and gave the president in
formation regarding the regions through
which the president Intends to make his
hunting expedition,
In his address Dr. Johnston touched
upon the portion of the Congo In the

president may be induced to go. since.
though very unhealthy, it contains the
most valuable specimens or African
plants and animals.
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."
Sir Harry leaves for an extensive tour
of the south, during which he will visit
Tuskogee and Hampton. He will revisit
this city about March.
SAYS LIFE AVEKAGE
SEVEN YEAES LONGER
(Spectal DUnatch to Tb Journal.)
Philadelphia, Nov. 27. "Every man is
an experimental station."
"The stomach is the secretary of the
Interior."
"The average of longevity has in
creased seven years In the last 10 years
slnoe man has learned to exercise com
mon sense in eatinar. drlnkina and in
other acts of life."
These were some of the nolamant re
marks made by Rev. Dr. Charles I.
Kloss. pastor of the Central Congrega
tional church In an address at the cen
tral branch of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association on "Psychotherspy."
The address was one of a aeries of
12, covering in general the same sub
ject, of the relation between mind and
body, and the effect the mind wields
over the physical system. The address
was upon "The Demand for Health,"
and was in the nature of an introduc
tory speech, covering the whole sub
ject. The Revr Dr, Kloss- al -he-4 not
posing as a mental healer, but is rather
presenting the relation that necessarily
exists between the state of mind and
that of the body, which, he said, is
the fundamental underlying true relig
ion and the happiness of mankind.
