L AT THE HEAD OF ??c ?Cartoon by W PASTORFINDS i WRECK OF HIS Robbad ol Brida by Drowning Accident, tended For His Regeneration-Sermon On Day Set For Marriage Clergyman Tei Winthrop, Mass. ? Miss Alice C. Loud, of Roxbury, who was drowned here three weeks ago, was to have been married to the Rev. Hiram Vroonian, of Providence. Instead of the wedding invitations that would have been sent Mr. Vrooman has gathered about him his philosophy and issued something like a sermon, his bereavement serving as the text. The essence of his reflections on the tragic event is that the young woman perished, by divine will, in order that he might be purified by fire and proceed further upon the road to regeneration by being given a perception of his own worldliness. The statement, or sermon, reads: "To-day was to have been the day of my marriage to Alice C. Loud, whose sudden death by drowning occurred three weeks ago to-day. It is true that from all earthly points of view this providential occurrence is altogether inexplicable, but when spiritually considered there is sufficient ecplanation to dispel every doubt of its beneficence. "Both practically and ideally Miss Loud seemed to be bringing to me the largest measure of personal satisfaction that this world has in store for any man. She was bringing not only the most devoted and purest feminine affection that was ever revealed to me in a woman, but also that complex of countless physical, mental and spiritual values which promised to multiply my usefulness. "At first, upon learning what had happened, all my ardent love for her, which had already given me the rarest happiness that I had ever experienced, turned, as it were, against me to torture me with vague anxieties for her and indescribable pity. Pollowing this, and second only to it by INDUSTRIAL, WORK Future of Race Depcuds Upon clety S; Chicaeo.?The subject of women (n the workaday world was the chief theme before the meeting here of the American Academy of Medicine. Several men physicians read papers deploring the fact that too many women unsexed themselves by forsaking home life for industrial work, and asserting that the future of the race depended upon the checking of "this widespreading evil." Dr. Helen C. Putnam, of Providence, startled the audience by declaring she was in favor of woman suffrage. "Every woman," she said, "has the right to develop her best faculties, to become educated, and to enter a business field, where she meets many men, so she can select the father for her children. I favor establishing a stuay or nome-maKIng' in the public schools of our country." Dr. Emma Culbertson, of Boston, said: "Co-operation of the two sexes alone is needed to settle the question of the place of women in business life." Conditions had changed during the last hundred years, Dr. Edward Jackson, of Denver, asserted, and women should be allowed to change their habits and occupations. Better Servants Than Shop Girls. Dr. Otto Juettner, of Cincinnati, said: "The lack of housewives and domestic servants is disrupting society and home life. I have no sympathy with women who work in stores or other industrial institutions for starvation wages, when there are thousands of homes in which they can get respectable employment bet - " - * *? 1. j i ter fitting tnemseivesior marneu mc. Women competing with men simply lower the wage scale, cause a lack of support by men and a tendency toward singleness."

Washington, D. C.?That the Wright brothers have several machines practically ready for service, and that they only await the clearing up of a little obscurity in their Government contract before beginning public exhibitions is good news.

His Bitter Straggle With Despair. way of contributing to my suffering, was the despair of personal disappointment. Apparently, I had been deprived of that one satisfaction without which nothing else besides could be satisfying. "A belief that has not been weakened by doubts in the fact of the divine providence, and which has been inclusive of the unquestioning conviction that what the Lord had done was for the best and permanent interest of every one of us concerned, has given a certain interior peace and sense of security, even while the external or natural affections were being tortured and tempest torn. "Indeed, the suffering has been tempered and greatly modified by these counteracting influences from within. It has seemed to me at times, and I have permitted myself to believe, that I was sensiDie 01 a work being wrought by the Lord in my ruling love, causing it to become a little more unselfish than it had formerly been. Indeed, it is the resurrection of les3 selfish loves from more selfish loves in such times as this that verifies the revelations In the word of God of immortality, and confirms the certainty of the resurrection of the beautiful unselfish girl whom I loved and still continue to love. "I am thankful beyond measure that I have experienced not the slightest feeling of rebellion against the unalterable fact. My suffering has been a revelation to me of the great distance that I have yet to go in the regeneration. I have felt unconcerned whether I live or die. I feel sure that I am suffering less and receiving greater spiritual blessing from it than many persons who have sustained similar loss." UNSEXING WOMEN.

Dr. Burrell advocated educating the public in sanitation, and urged extensive publicity for all questions of hygiene.

FIRST DESCRIPTION 1 OF 1I6HTIBSBIP Inventors Give Details of the Ma-| chine's Construction. I HAVE PERFECT FAITH IN IT' I I Confident That, Barring Accidents, It i Will Satisfy the Requirements of | the American Government in the I Tests in August. Dayton, Ohio.?Orville E. Wright, one of the Wright brothers, declared that he and his brother have solved the aerial navigation question to the extent that barring accident they are sure to fulfil their contract with the Government for a flying machine that will stay in the air one hour and travel a distance of five miles and return at a rate of forty miles an hour. Mr. Wright said that he was confident the Wright aeroplane would make a successful flight at Fort Myers, notwithstanding the condition of the test ground, which could hardly be more unfavorable. "I believe that our machine is the nearest approach to the practical flyer in existence," said Mr. Wright. "The French, who claim to be the greatest illvesiigciiUi'5 ul acnai uavigauuu, a&c modeling their machines after the 'Wrightype' as nearly as they can without infringing on our patents. "With the exception of a few details of construction that had necessarily to be kept secret in order to preserve the commercial value of our invention, practically every part of our machine has been patented In every country in Europe and in America. "In a few months our patents will be complete. Then a full and detailed description of our machine will be made public. "To date neither my brother nor myself has issued a description of our machine of any sort. I understand that a New York paper is publishing a description of our machine, under the signatures of my brother and myself. We are not parties to the deal." Here is Mr. Wright's description of the machine, which difTers from other flyers, in that it is much more compact. Approximately it consists of a box-like frame forty feet wide, seven feet long and seven and on^-half feet deep, made of spruce and ash. At the centre and to the front is a "front rudder," a feature which the Wrights introduced and which has proved superior to the ,old method of a rear 1 rudder. ! In the centre to the rear is the | tail" oi r.ne macnme, u^jjiuaiuicilcj.'' twelve feet in length, less than onethird the length of those <?n French flyers. This consists in different models of one or two vertical cloth-covcred frames. At the rear, balancing the machine, and as near the centre as possible, are two propellers. Below the framework and toward the front is a "skid" similar to run- , ners on sleds. This is used for landing and differs in this particular from j the French machines, which are equipped with wheels. Regarding this particular device Mr. Wright says: "With the wheels arrangement the French find it dangerous to effect a landing on smooth ground with a machine traveling at a rate of more than ten miles an hour. "With our 'slcid' we can land safely on any ground other than absolutely hilly while our machine is traveling at a rate of fifty miles an hour without any particular danger to the machine or the persons operating it." In the centre of the machine, at the bottom, Is a small double-wheel trn/?v -arViiph lMinnine' on a mono-rail. ia used while the machine is acquiring speed enough to leave the ground. The mono-raii is easily movable in any direction. The Wright machine weighs about eight hundred pounds, and in addition to its own weight, including a four-cylinder motor of between twenty-five and thirty horse-power and made by the Wright Brothers themselves, can carry men and fuel enough to drive the machine 300 miles. It can carry enough fuel with one man aboard to travel 500 miles. In the tests at Kitty Hawk the t achine made a five-mile flight, travelog as high as $ixty miles an hour. The Government's test is away below the machine's limit, according to Orville Wright. He says that the same model used in the Kitty Hawk trials will be usod in the Government tests. 'The tests will have to be successfully made before August 2S. I ADOLI'HE STEINHEIL STRANGLED Taintcr and His Mother-in-Law Found , Dead in Taris.

Watertown, N. Y.?Leon La Salle is now In custody at Cranberry Lake, in the Adirondacks, after having telephoned to Nylle Hyland, Sheriff of St. Lawrence County, that he had murdered Charley Jonchas, a French Canadian, who worked for him in a lumber camp on the Grasse River, St. Lawrence County. "Come to the woods and arrest, me;'I have murdered a man," was the message La Salle called over the telephone to the Sheriff's office in Canton, fifty miles away, and he gave the message after having followed a wiisi ftttq!rr/i milfla from tho Inm. vrnu uau tnviTv *?wm. v?v %??. ber camp to the nearest telephone station, at Windfall Settlement, a clearing a few miles from CranberryLake. La Salle committed the murder shortly after noon, and a few minutes later hit the long trail to the telephone. Arriving at Windfall he got into communication with the Sheriff and the District Attorney's office, and telephoned the nearest constable, Herbert Deane, who lives at Cranberry Lake Settlement, asking him to come and take him in charge until the arrival of the Sheriff. Following this preliminary preparation he directed the hotel keeper in Windfall to lock him up. Constable Deane took La Salle to Cranberry Lake Settlement late in the afternoon, and he Is locked up in the jail there awaiting the arrival of SherLT Hyland. La.Salle had charge of a lumber camp in the Grasse River below Cranberry Lake. Upward of twenty French Canadians were working for him in the camp. Sunday was their holiday, and some of them went out to the clearing, got a sack filled with whisky bottles containing whisky, and the orgy was on. La Salle attempted to control it, but was not successful. Affairs reached a climax at the dinner table next day, when Jonchas failed to heed La Salle's warning and overturned the long board table, throwing all of its contents of pork, beans, beef and black bread into a heap on the floor. Words ensued. Jonchas is said to have threatened to strike La Salle, arid La Salle pulled his gun and fired the shot which killed the Frenchman. CARLETON READS TO SAILORS.
