New York Special An aeroolane flashed Dist the white dome of Grant's Tomb, to day, then turning gracefully in mid-air over the watera of the Hudson, shot like a falcon back to Governor' Island, ten miles away. Wilbur Wright, of Dayton, Ohio, thus placed his name in the rank with Hudson and Fulton to day in one of the most spectacu lar feats in the history of aero nautics. Over the masts of warships from whose decks hoarse cheers i of the sailors were borne up to him in his elevated seat, he flevv for twenty miles ten miles up and ten miles back remaining in the air for thirty-three min utes and thirty-three seconds and alighting at the aerodrome with out mishap.

The wind was blowing a bout ten miles an hour, while an overcast sky added to the uncer tainty of the weather. Amid the clatter of the machine's exhaust which sounded like musketry fire, Wright climbed to his seat in his "ftr itpjiSi ft moment th machr ine was off. With the planes tilted slightly to one side the man-bird slowly ascended into the air, rising to a height of barelv twenty feet, while it swooped in a semi-circle toward the waters edge. Here the presence of many craft, all iiysLeritctiiy tuuiin men wins- ties, caused him to ascend furth-: er into the the mouth A I mo gainst the gray-banked clouds, the machine soared past old Cas tle William and soon entered the anon made by the giant sky scrapers of Manhattan Island and the Jersey hills. 'Over the warships of four great : powers he passed, his progress marked by cheers from the sail ors of his own country and those of great Britian, Germany, France and Italy. When the air vessel reached the British cruiser Argyil, an chored an eight of a mile above Grant's tomb, Wright described an easy and graceful curve and ; started on his return journey down the river.

THE CASE OF A COOrfSKIIf CAP. How a Tragedy Tear Aro Wislesalt af a tnaaf e la tie Coastrflclioa r Fed eral statute. Collier' Weekly. A man entered into a contract with a railroad company to furn ish wood and ties to the company, to be. taken from timber lands in the Mississippi river bottom. In this bottom, perched upon stilts, he built a log cabin, and, with his wife and an old negro man who assisted him, lived there and worked for five long years. The railroad company was impecun ious, and had paid him on ac count barely sufficient to buy meal and bacon for subsistence, when it went into the hands of a receiver. The woodman went in person to the Federal Court with his claim. He wore a coon skin cap. He was long past the meridian of life, and too poor to hire a lawyer. He told the Fed eral judge the company owed him over $700, all his little fortune. The last item in his account was ll months old when the railroad defaulted.

Judge Caldwell is now living in honorable retirement after 40 years of continuous ser vice on the Federal bench. The case of the man with the coon skin cap he never forgot. He found that much of the law was judge-made law; that here was, . !.

C, has been doing recently. He aided Pastor C. C. Arring ton at Pine Grove in a meeting the last of July. Had about thirty professions and twenty additions. This church is situated about four miles from Dobson, N. C., in an anti-missionary section. The re sult of this meeting is the oeople are united and are building a new church and everybody in the community is taking a part in this building. The church they now have would not seat half the people who attended these meet ings. His next meeting was with the Oak Ridge church; he aided pas- tor J. A. Joyce. Result: Thirty j tented, peaceable, honest and profession? and sixteen additions. , hospitable, without rules and This church was also greatly re-1 withort ambition for fame or pow vived, as it was the first revival j er. They live almost entirely on here in yars and the greatest in ' raw animal food, and this ex- located in Stokes County, in vie- inity of the noted "Smithtown." ...... .. . u.c mawij-yi uiciuuiu.. xv n.

Semetalar af the Habits and Cattoms of the rcople Who Helped to Dlsctrer the fferth folc. New York Preaa. The Esquimos are the filthiest people in the world. They never wash, not even the face and hands. The smell of their fur clothing and secretions from the skin causes a stink about their persons and especially in their ingloos and tents, tnat i3 unbear able to tenderfeet. Living in huts of stone or ice in winter, in sealskin tents in summer, Esquimos never marry in the sense wa use the word, but mate like animals. Swapping of mates for indefinite time is common. Furs are used for the common family bed, and every body from father to babe strips stark naked before retiring. Esquimos are all children, con- j of diseases which are common to j j civilization.

Icnlaflons For Moint Airy City Schools. For th uniform government of the schools, the Board of Trus tee have adopted the following regulations, which are intended to promote the safety and best interests of all the pupils, in the performance of their school du ties. The necessity for regulation number one is found in the fact that the assembling of a large number cf children before the times to treat every teacher con hour of admission into the build-. nected with the school with cour ings is attended with danger totesv afd respect, to obey the them, both from themselves and , regulation, herein specified, to from inclement weather. It is , father with such others as may especially requested of parents ' De announced by the superinten that the children be required to'dent o teachers. Failure to leave home in time to reach the 'compiy with this requirement schools buiidings not earlier than ' will subject the pupil to summary 8:30 A.M. That gives them a ! discipline, or to expulsion from margin of ten minutes which .'j j the schools. amply sufficient for differences in time.
