Nov. 15.—Mail carrying by aeroplane on a large scale will be undertaken tomorrow and on the two following days. All is in readiness for the projected revolutionary flights. Aviators Lincoln Beachey, C. C. Wit- mer and Charles Andrews adjusted their Curtiss aeroplanes today and de-. dared that everything looked auspi cious for the success of thei;* efforts. The three birdmen will endeavor to carry mail from the Speedway, several miles outside of Atlanta, to a notnt near the Atlanta post ofiBce, where it will be turned over to the post office employes. The experiment is being undertaken in connection with the convention of the Georgia postmasters, who will at tend the meet in a body and witness the operation of the aerial mail ser vice. It is planned to carry some 75,- 000 pieces of first-class mail matter, each bearing a special stamp showiug that it has been carried by aeroplane from the point of mailing to the At lanta post oflice. In order to make a test of this ser vice on ?. large scale. Postmaster Gen eral Ritchcock has instructed the At lanta postmaster to co-operate wiMi the Curtiss flyers, collecting the mail from the boxes that have been rigged up on the aviation field, putting it into the bags and turning the bags over to the aviators, who will make one or more trips daily, according to the volume of mail matter to be carried. A great crowd journeyed out to the Speedway today to watch the air loen at work on their craft, assen;bling them and making tuning up !ight3. There is a trementious interest by the general public in their intended feat, and it is expected that tomorrow wiii witness the greatest crowd at th'S Speedway that has ever turned out for any attraction In Atlana. ■ ;;rn. r. ■f'S department John H.

Washington, Nov 15.—Miss Olga Roosevelt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Roosevelt, of New York and Washington, today became the bride of Dr. Breckenridge Bayne In one of the largest weddings of the year in Wash ington. The father of the bride is a first cousin of former President Theo dore Roosevelt. The ceremonies were held in St. John’s church and many notable persons were in attendance. Following the ceremony there was arranged a large reception at the home of the bride. The attenants to the bride were Miss Katherine Shaw, of New York, maid of honor; Miss May Ledenburg, of New York; Miss Elise Ladew, of New York; Miss Mildred Peer, of New York, and Miss Dorothy Christian, of Richmond, Va. Mr. Elijah Theall, of New York, was the best man, while Murray Copb, David Kenneth. Louis Lehr, Louis Fuller and Dr. A. F. Hop kins were the ushers. It was expected by many persons anil rep that Mrs. Robert Roosevfelt, the youth tangible property nor has any sc^r ^ step-mother of the bride, would act the unexpected claims was of such a character that the administrator was compelled to admit them, but that of about *500,000 worth was disallowed. The courts will-be asked to rule upon these and if they are admitted the de ficit will be much larger than $80,000. Among the liabilities of the estate are several notes, one for $2 400,000 made by Mr. McDonald jointly with Mr. Stallo. The adminis tering trust company says the whole of these must be paid by the estate, because io far as it can Stallo himself is not possesed of any of Income sufficient to enable him to pay his share Business Man and ■ 1'-'reels Post,” t)y of Indiana.

On a recent trip to Germany*, Dr. Harvey Wiley, the government’s pure food expert, heard an allegory with ref erence to the subject of food adultera tion, which he contends, should cause Americans to congratulate themselves that things are so well ordered in this respect in the United States. The German allegory was substan- tlpiU’^ at? follows: Four flies, which had made their way into a certain pantry, determined to have a feast. One flew to the sugar and ate very heartily; but soon died, for the sugar was full of white lead. The second chose the flour as his died, but he fared no better, for the flour was loaded with plaster of Paris. The third sampled the syrup, but his six legs were presently raised in the air, for the syrup was colored with aniline dyes. The fourth fly, seeing all his friends dead, determined to end his life also and drank deeply of the fly poison which he found in a convenient sau cer. He is still alive and in good health. That, too, was adulterated.—Lippin- cott’s. Kindness to Animals. A Mixed Drink. A cafe at Peoria which was famou* for its Pllsener. was owned by a Bo hemian and conducted actively by his son and nephew. The old man seldom had occasion to go behind the bar, or to deal directly with the public in other ways. One day, however, all hands were out of reach, when a man came in to get a drink. To make the situation acute, he ordered a cocktail. The proprietor knew of such things vaguely; but in a pl^ce where every body came to drink Bohemian beer a cocktail had no place. First-he took a lemonade glass and put some ice in it. Then he poured from every bottle behind the bar and set the mixture before the customer. “There.” he said. ‘You have every thing but the license. Drink- it.”— Chicago Evening Post.

Fortune favored them that An toine was just and not unfriendly to the whites. Fisher boldly told him the, object of their search. The old warrior regarded them gravely J!or a time in stolid admiration, and then stated that the four Indians who com mitted the crime were in his camp. Their surrender was instantly de manded, Antoine considered again in silence and then had the four brought in. Obvfously the murderers were un wholesome citizens, even of an In dian camp, but surrendering them as prisoners to white men put a heavy strain on, the chief’s authority and conferred no protection on the cap tors. It burdened them with the ad ditional problem of keeping their pris oners and their own scalps. With his tribe scowling around them the chief advised the whites ta take the four back "across the line and to deal with them there. He was too crafty to risk experimenting with penalties in sight of the camp. The three whites roped up their four reds and filed out of the village to ward the southern mountains. They had their m^n to do as they would. The general understanding of the situation by the Indians was that thef our would be lined up and shot at the first favorable opportunity, un less the white men previously met the same fate. But the white men were keenly familiar with the game they had to play, and were playing it as it had to be played to win. The pioneer pros pector lived by his knowledge of woodcraft and nerve. The three brought their prisoners back across the line. Remorseless execution and speedy flight offered now the safest re course. The Indians comprehended this and met it with the pretense ot pleading for the'ir lives. It was pretense purely, for Montana puts lit tle of the yellow in her human pro ducts, white or red. From plodding along in stoic assurance of being vengefuily rescued, the prisoners of fered to show where the murder ed men’s supplies had been cached if their lives were spared, and inti mated that one member of the five might still be found alive. Understanding -Indian nature as they did, the three prospectors ac cepted the chance of truth in this. They moved on, one in the lead an other among the prisonfers and a third in the rear. The Indians probably reasoned that apparent acquiescene in their pro posal indicated relaxation of purpose and vigilance on the part of the white men. On this theory one of them managed to slip his hands loose and grab a gun from a pack horse. He probably never realized the error, for Fisher’s rifle belched in the same instant. They went into camp, three whites relentlessly cautious, three In dians murderous and helpless and not beyond the range of sensations of any sort. One of the Indians weakened try. Dead or alive, there would be no prospect of finding him. One In dian described how the doomed min ers had been ambushed, shot and burned, somewhat because of red hatred of whites, but largely because of the cabin’s store of food. Cochran cocked his rifle as he listened and his companions displayed similar sen timents, but the six were all on the trail again at daylight. Waiting to be killed, however, it is something not even Indian indiffer ence is long lequal to. In the after noon of the second day two of the re maining prisoners began a sullenly hopeless attempt to free themselves. Warnings were only wasted on them now. The white men were in a position to consider but one other alternative. They had every turn of the trail to watch with their own lives sta*lied on the consequences of a single over sight. Men under a strain ot that di mension are precarious persons to trifle with. The two Indians effected their freedom through the medium of a lariat suspended from a limb. The third remained passive until they came back to the old camp. Re alizing then that the ruse of finding supplies long since devoured could be no longer kept up he struggled to reach a gun as they lifted him off a pony. In consequence he died on the spot where he had helpe^i kill men lately buried there. Three of the white victims and. their four murderers had been ao-. counted for.J The fourth white manj was found later In the bushes neafj camp. A bullet had broken his leg; and he crawled into hiding to starve' to death. Fisher, Cochran and, McDougallj went on prospecting up the Kootenai, j They found fortunes in discovering! the Wild Horse mining district. A cruel, bloody story of neither use nor ornament? Rather unyielding, deadly circuitt* stances, wrought in time and place' where the white man had to be true' to every predominating impulse of his, kind or cease to be a pian of any, sort.
