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

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

Women competing with men simply

that teachers in public schools received

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."

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

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.

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.

There's a Hare in the Moon.
"Equally famous with the man In
the moon and the woman In the
j .gioon Is the hare in the moon," says
' the author of one of the new spring
I books on astronomy, Mr. Garrett P. .
i Serviss, in his "Astronomy With the
| Naked Eye," which the Harpers have
I only just printed. "The original is
[ fc Buddhist legend. The god Sak|
kria, disguised as a Brahman, pretended
to be starving and went to
:he animals for help. The monkey
got him a bunch of mangoes; the coot
' picked up a fisherman's neglected
string for him; the fox stole him a
pot of milk. At last the god ap
proached tne nare. 'i nave noining
but grass,' said the hare, 'and you
can't eat that.' 'But your flesh i?
good,' suggested the pretended Brahman.
The hare assented. 'Then/
said the Brahman, 'I'll kindle a Are
at the foot of this rock and you jump
off into it. That'll save me tha
trouble of killing you.' The har?
assented again, but as he leaped from
the rock the god caught him in hia
arms, and then drew his figure in the
moon as a perpetual reminder of the
excellence of self-sacrifice."

Rolls.
Bells are understood to hare had
their origin In China, but at so remote
a time that no precise date can
be given. Their first use was to clear
the air of evil spirits and ta drive off
the storms. Old European records
tell how the toiling of bells kept the
devils from assaulting believers;
hence their connection with churches.
Bells may be traced in Europe back
to the sixth century, but were not
generally introduced into the Western
church much before the eighth
century.?New York American.
