"I flrat met bim and bis beautiful

"Professor Ferrer bastoned back to

SOARS AT 1,300 FEET
French Aviator Firlerms a Most
Asfw RdlBg Feat.
CIRCLES AROUND EIFFEL TOWER
Receives Tremendous Ovation Olves
United StateiJGredlt Greatest
Feat Since Dumont's.
Paris. Oet. 10. -Count do Lambert,
French aeroplanlst, just beforo dark to
night accomplished ono of tho most re
msrkable and daring feats yot credited
to beavier-than-alr machine. Starting
from tbe aerodrome at Juvlssy, bo flew
to Paris, about 13 miles. After maneu
vering over tho city at an average
height of 400 feet, be ascended In grad
ually diminishing circles, and passed
several hundred feet aboro tho Eifel
tower. He then returned to Juvlssy.
Thousands who watched him hardly
could credit their senses when they saw
tho aeroplane, a tiny objeet, gliding
swiftly far abovo the tower, and tbe
sensation created was more profound
than when Santos Dumont circled tho
structure in his dlrgible balloon in 1000.
Count do Lambert was given a tro
mendous ovation on his return to Ju
vlssy. Orvllle Wright rushed forward
and wrung the band of tho aviator as
ho alighted. He was led to the pavil
IIod, where his health was drank, the
crowd meantime cheering lustily and
crying: "Long live Count do Lam
bert I" "Long live Russia," Do Lam
bert being of Russian extraction. Tho
count held up bis hand nnd shouted:
"Cry long live tho United States, for
it is to her that I owe this success."
The aviator said that the only incon
venience be suffered was from the throb
bing of the engines and from difficulty
In seeing toward tbo end in tbe gloom.
The official tlmo of tho flight was 49
minutes, 39 seconds. Tbe distance was
roughly estimated at 31 miles, and the
height varied from 300 to 1300 feet.
Count do Lambert and Mr. Wrieht
left tho Held together In an antomobiio.
Dragoons were obliged to clear a way

ROADS ADOPT PLAINER TICKETS.
Simplicity Main Point Stopover Priv
ileges Cut Oat.
Chicago, Oct. 19. A feeling of relief
has been' experienced by tho Western
roads over the way the question which
for moro than four rears has baffled
all attempts at solution, seems at last
to be approaching a settlement through
out tho country, and has just been Anal
ly disposed of, as far as the Westers
Passenger association lines are c'oa
corned. The difficulty which had so long
proved insurmountable was presented by
the inability of tbe railroads to arrive
at an agreement as to a standard form
of ticket contract to cover all contin
gencies. The roads of the Western
Passenger association have Anally sig
nified their acquiescence to a revised
report of tho committee on standard
ticket contracts, and steps will begin
immediately for the gradual substitu
tion of the new forma of tickets.
It is understood that Central Passen
ger association roads have llkowisa
taken an affirmative action in the mat
ter. The new ticket will be conspicuous
by its simplicity. Efforts will be di
rected to eliminating every useless word
and making the ticket so plain and
brief as to be understood by any pas
senger. It Is proposed to cut out near
ly all stopover privileges now permitted;
10 cut our an veroiage and make me
ticket a plain contract by the railroad
and its connections to carry a passen
ger from ono point to certain other
points for a certain sum of monoy with
ing a certain tlmo.
