Record ?Sailed Aloof Ortr the Hiatorlo Hudion?Not a Single Accident New York, Special.?rGlenn H. Cur ties flew from Albanjr- to New York City in an aeroplane Sunday winning the $10,000 ptize offened by The New York World, He <*ov?*rfcd tb# distance of 137 miles in 2 houre and 32 min utes and came to earth as candy nntV as lightly as a pigeon. His average speed for the ditttance?54.06 miles an hour?surpasses any record ever made by an aeroplane in long distance flight. The start waa made from Albany at 7:03 o'clock under woatber con ditions as near perfect as the most fastidious aviator could demandl One "hour and twenty-three minutes later he had made his stopping place near Poughkeepsie, where there was an ?hour's - TntdimtMffn". ' 1^8uining his flight at 0:26 he sped southward aud landed within the boundary of Man-; hattan Island at 10:35. Paulban's flight from London to Manchester?180 miles?exceeded the Curtiss feat in distance but not in speed and danger. The Frenchman's average was 44.3 miles an hour, and below him lay English meadowland. Curtiss followed the winding course of the historic Hudson, with its jut ting headlands, wooded slopes and treacherous palisades. He(swung high over the great bridge at' Poughkeep sie, dipped at times within 50 feet of the river's broad surface and jockey ed like a falcon at the turns. Only once did his craft show signs of rebelling. This was off Storm King near West Point, where at a height of nearly 1,000 feet, a treacherous gust struck his planes. The rilachine dropped like a rock for 40 feet and tilted perilously. But Curtiss, always Cfpl> kept both his head and his seat and by adroit manipulation of his levers brought renewed equilibrium <0 hia steed. Costly Typographical Error.

Sonth Carolina will very likely, be represented atithe expositions which are to be held at Cincinnati and Knoxville. It is thought that some arrangement can be made whereby a part of the South Carolina exhibit, which will be greatly improved, wiil be shown at these two expositions. Tobacco Short at Florence. The tobacco crop of the Florence [section will be cut at least 25 per "eent., is1 tho estimate of those in a position to know the situation. This is largely due to the wire wwm, which infested the crop during the cool spell and so destroyed the-.young plants that the farmers gave up the crop, ploughed their fields and replanted in eotton, which promised to bring a goodprice.

State Secretary Power W, JJethea ;his issued the ?announcement that the seventeenth annual eonfereqpe of the , South Carolina Epworth league of f-Methodist ~ ' Will be 1 MasbinQton A sub-committee of the House Committee on Labor reported favor ably a bill prohibiting the transport* tlon in interstate commerce of good* made by convlot labor. Against Con- There Is a considerable vict Labor, demand for this legisla tion from Btates which do not permit the producta of thejr own convicts to enter into competi tion with free labor, but which are powerless to prevent the admission of the products of convict labor from other tttate*. It is believed that the full committee will promptly report the measure, although It Is decidedly questionable if it can be brought be fore the House for a vote at this ses sion. ? ? ? Representative Tawnoy has suc ceeded in securing the adoption of a {?rovlslon his committee has inserted n the sundry civil bill by which the . sale of oleomargarine col OWo a ored to resemble butter Criminal, will bo made a penal of fense. It was supposed by the authors of the law which re quires that revenuo stamps be affixed to all oleomargarine that colored to resemble butter paying a much higher tax, that the statute made-it a penal offense to cell oleomargarine colored as butter, but, according to the Internal Revenue Commissioner, Royal B. Cabell, the courts have so construed the law us to eliminate the crlmlhallty, and as a result the manu facturers of oleomargarine affix the necessary stamps and sell to the re tailers uncolored oleomargarine, and these In turn color the product and sell it as butter, and the present law is Inadequate to reach such violations of the spirit of the statute. * ? ? It is asserted by officials of the For* est 'Service that a state of consider able disorganisation exists in that service, and that for practically three yearfohe broader prob Forestry lems of conservation Disorganized, have taken precedence of the practical admin lst. itlon of the Forest Service. These men insist that abundant credit should be given to Olfford Plnchot as the pioneer in the forest conservation movement, butthe^Intimate that Mr. Plnchot was ifiore successful In the preliminary propaganda than in the more tedious and exacting work of executive administration, and that re cently he had been so absorbed In the promotion of the general conserva tion movement that he had little time for the purely executlve^ork which formerly engaged his attention.. His subordinates, It Is asserted, have re sorted to the expedient of Including vast areas of range lands In the forest reserves, deferring as long as possi ble the elimination of the land not suitable for forest purposes, and have sought to make a creditable financial showing by renting as sheep , ranges the lands so Included. It is asserted that sheep pasturage Is fatal to re* forestatlon, and that only an anxiety to offset extravagant methods of ad ministration by enhanced pecuniary receipts could ever Induce a genuine forester to admit sheep to the nation al forests. , The Treasury Department is going, to wash the microbes from $1 silver certificates so that they can be re* stored to circulation and not destroyed aa at present. The Will Save scheme is a product ot the $1,000,000 brain of Assistant Secre a Year, tary Norton. He sub mitted the idea ot wash ins the paper money to Director Ralph, of the Bureau-of Engraving and Printing, and later to a commit* tea consisting of C. 8. Pearce, of the division of loans; Q. K. Leet, his pri vate secretary, and Brandon 8mith, the Department chemist. The com mittee found that about eighty per cent, of the paper money now de stroyed can be saved by washing and put back into circulation after It is properly sterilized. Only silver cer tificates can be washed, because the Ink in yellowbacks and national bank notes will not permit of such an oper ation. "The laundry machines will cost between $500 and 91000 each, and the Government may save through thalr use about $1,000,000 a year. One machine will be Installed at each Bub-Treasury. * * ? No Information has been received on this side of the water to the effect that ex-President Roosevelt is look ing for any outlet for hla energies other than hla editorial New Job For work, but there are a Roosevelt, good many persons in Washington' who would llk'e. to see him take hold of the long discussed but never attained National University proposition, ot whloh they believe he could make a notable suc cess. It is declared that abundant funde would be immediately forth coming were Mr. Roosevelt to consent to 1mcome president of such an In stitution. In fact, it Is known (hat two years ago Andrew Carnegie ex pressed a wlllingneaa to contribute $17,090,000 to* the endowment of such an institution. It is appreciated thai such -a university would be op posed by some of the larger universi ties, such as Harvard.

The legislature adjourned Bine die, but the final gavel had scarcely fallen In Senate and As sembly before the Capitol corridors became alive with rumors that the members would aoon bo called back. The Governor'a proclamation follows! "Pursuant to the power veated In me by Section 4 of Article IV. of the Constitution, I hereby conveno tho i i;ii mi' In extraordinary session nt tho Capttol In the cjty of Albany on Monday,> the 20th day of .Tune, 1910, nt 8.30 o'clock, post meridian.

A majority of tho legislators had already left Albany when the Oov ernor ma/io public his Intention. Those wPorpmalned felt none too happy ovorthe prospect. Speaker Wads worth and other leaders of tho oppo sition freely expressed tho opinion that thero would be no change In the legislative verdict, on the Governoor's plan, whic'h baa been beaten twice In the Assembly, first through the defoat of the HJnman-Green bill and later ^through the defeat of the to-called Cobb compromlso bill, which did not go quite so far In carrying out tho di rect primary principle. It may be predicted on good au^ thorlty that the recommendations of Governor Hughes when the Legislat ure convenes for tho extra session will call not for a compromise meas ure, but for a bill that will provide for the State-wide application of the direct primary principle, substantially along the_llnes of tho rejected Hln man-Green bill; The Governor feels that there In a strong and broad sen timent for the passage cf Just such a measure, and that the urgency that pome primary reform be had at ouco Justifies him calling the legislators back. At ttye conclusion of business In the Senaterthe gavel was turned over to Majority Leader Cobb and to. Lieu tenant-Governor Whlto was present ed a jrlchly engraved silver vase from the members. Senator Cobb received a silver tea service and a similar to-, ken was given to Senator Grady, mi nority leader, who. it is expected, will retiro from legislative life during tho present year.

"For four years I carried tho se cret, It was so great that I did not dare.believe it myself. Night and day for years I have demonstrated over tnd over again In my laboratory the wonderful process. I have tuken base metals of four different kinds and successfully transmuted them from proportions of one part silver and ninety-nine' parts of base metal Into sliver of the utmpst purity. I sent the resulting metal to New York City, Philadelphia, Boston end Chicago, and in every case/received a report from the assay that the substance as Bayed was true silver. I sent It to the analysts of the big silver-dealing houses of the country and from them came word that the substance stood every-^teat for silver and showed traces, well defined In each Instance, of gold. "When Mr. Dickinson saw the transformation take place ho was elated. He Jumped to his feet, and Insisted on looking Into the furnace. The gases arising from the furnace mado him slightly ill.

"It was very cold," said the ae cused, "and I had no overcoat, so X suggested that we go back to the warm hall. Alice and Orvls, how ever, said they wanted to walk around the pier, and Jane would not return without them, so we stood waiting for the couple near the wave motor. "I finally suggested to Jane that we go back into the hall to wait for the two, but Bho would not go. I started in and had gone only a short distance when I heard her call 'Alice' three times In a natural voice. I thought it waB a shame to leave her alone out there and went back.
