He Establishes a New World's Rec ord-The Ten-Mile Record Was Also Smashed Again, Young MacDonald Going lt In 6.15. Ormond, Fla., Special.-The greatest automobile meeting ever held in this country or any other country so far as smashing records i? concerned, clos ed hero Tuesday afternoon. The last performance was the running of- a. mile in 32 4-5 seconds by H. L. Bow^ his twin 60-horse-power car. after the day's events had beei ed. Ke asked permission of cials to try for the kilometer record, and the course waB oles him. He took a good flying st?? as he tripped the wire of the time machine, the crowd ex] new world's r?cbrd, for the going faster than the speed ricane. Unfortunately, the time was not caught on the al but several watches gave it seconds, the world's record bell The previous mile record was] considerably until the epeninj meeting. It was 39 flat, mi year by W. K, Vanderbilt Last Arthur E. MacDonald trimmed it down to 34 2-5, and soon after Mr. Bowden knocked off another fifth. Since then he expressed the opinion that he could go 33 seconds or under. He did it. Young MacDonald was also to have tried for a world's kilometer and better mile record, but certain parts bf his engine became strained; He made the attempt, however, making the kilome ter in 25 2-5. The automatic failed on the mile, which was not taken. It would not have been ? record. The 10-mile record was again smash ed. It was in the final of the Ormand derby for the Major Miller trophy. Young MacDonald, who won the tro phy, covered the 10 miles in 6:15. The record before this meet was 6:50, made by W. K. Vanderbilt here last year. Last week Mr. Thomas trimmed this down to 6:31 4-5. He was second in the 10-mile Ormond derby this morning finishing in 6:18 J>5, beating his own fine record Of ? few days ago. It was after "-his race that MacDonald's ma chine "bent a bar, which interfered with the proper handling of his machine. The fifth mile race was devoid of any special interest, although some world's records W?TQ made. It seems the order of things now for world's rec ords to be established each year on the Ormond beach. These records are tried for at other meets at home and abroad, but it remains for new machines to come here and lower the records. All are agreed that there is not such a speedway on earth as the stretch along this coast from here to Mosquito Inlet. Two Women Cremated, Burlington, N. C., Special.-News has reached here from Tony, Caswell county, 20 miles' north Of Burlington, of the burning of the home of Mrs. Sarah A. Florence, mother of Mr. A. G. Florence, of the mercantile firm of Florence & Walker, of this place, in which Mrs. Florence and her daughter, Miss Bettie Florence, were burned to death. The fire was discovered about 1 o'clock in the afternoon afid an alarm given. Upon the arrival of neighbors Miss Florence, who was in the yard at that time, ran into the house, when the walls gave way, entombing the two women. The charred body of Miss Florence was taken from the ruins, but that of Mrs. Florence was burned to ashes. Two hundred and seventeen dollars in gold coin was taken from the ruins. The Statehood' Bill. Washington, Special.-The Senate Tuesday continued the consideration of the joint statehood bill with Mr. Nelson as the principal speaker. A number of bills were passed, including one largely increasing the fees for in coruoration of stock companies in the District of Columbia. While this bill was under consideration, Mr. Bacon made inquiry as to whether it-intended to curtail thc evils relating to corpo rations which had been pointed out by the President, and Mr. Gallinger replied that it would have a beneficial effect on regulating corporations organized in thc future, but would not in any way regulate existing corporations.

While Irish potatoes may be eaten more extensively than any other American vegetable, it may not be generally known that they are cap able of reduction to an excellent flour. In Austria, according to a government rep'-rt, the manufacture of this flour ir. un important industry. Corn starch is largely unknown in Austria, potato flour being substituted. It is stated to be cheaper than wheat flour and makes a beautifully light cake. The pctatoer are machined in such a man ner that the starch is separated from the cells that contain it. Water is u&ed freely, carrying away the starch into settling vessels. It is then ro fined, cleansed and dried. The resi due is fed to stock and also used in distilleries, breweries and sugar fac tories. Potato flour is largely used by the Israelites in this and other countries during the Feast cf the Pass over, for as wheat flour is a strictly forbidden article during that festival, potato flour is a welcome assistant to the housewife, who, in her preparation of "Posach" dainties, finds it capable of transformation into delicious cake, -Mana F^m?r.

Maxim (rorky will be put on trial on political charges, but whether before er confessor read the prayers for the dying, Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers, who was sentenced to die upon the gallows Friday for tte murder of her husband, listened with amazement to the an nouncement of High Sheriff Henry H. Peck, that Governor Bell had granted her ? reprieve 6f f??r months. Preparations for the execution had been perfected. The gallows had been erected in the west wing of the prison, a heavy black curtain hanging from tho guard room windows shutting the gruesome machinery of death from public view. Sheriff Peck carried the news of the reprieve to the prisoner. Mrs. Rogers was seated at a table writing a letter to her mother. Ap parently supposing that the sheriff had come to read the death Warrant, she arose and moved toward the" door", Sheriff Peck had never seen Mrs. Rogers before that moment. Walking up to the door,' he said: "Mrs. Rogers, I am the sheriff. I have brought you good news." "I am glad to meet you, Mr? Sheriff;1' said MrS; Rogers as she extended her hand through the grating. "What is the good news?" "Governor Bell has granted you a re prieve until June 2," replied the sheriff. Mrs. Rogers remained like a statue, as though unable to comprehend the meaning of the words. Without a sign of emotion, she gazed at the sher iff a moment, and then saidi "I had given up all hop?, hut I am glad that the Governor has granted me more time. He is a good m?n:" Mrs. Rogers then thanked the sher iff and his companions for the infor mation they brought her. She seemed unaffected by the tidings, and as the party moved away from the door of the death cell, she retired to the table' and resumed writing. The Governor said he granted the re prieve in order that opportunity might be given for ? new trial, and only on the ground that Mr9. Rogers claims through her attorney that she has not had a fair trial and that the evidence presented against her was- falBe, Five hundred dollars was offered to Harold Harpin, a guard in the State prison, if he would carry a package of poison to Mrs. Rogers. The offer was made in an anonymous letter from Bos ton containing $250 in bills, which Har pin received recently. The writer offer ed to send the other $250 as soon as the poison was delivered to Mrs. Rogers. The guard turned the letter over to Supt. Oakes, who showed it to Governor Bell. Postal authorities have been asked to investigate the letter. Russian Defeat 6evere. Washington, Special.-The Japanese legation has received a report made by Field Marshal Oyama, giving the details of the fierce fighting from the 25th to the 29th of January, when the Russians were driven to the right of the Hun river. The. marshal says that the enemy consisted of at least seven divisions, one of which was a cavalry division. The Japanese casualties were about 7,000. Prisoners state that four regiments of Russian infan try were nearly annihilated. Many of tho companies of these regiments were reduced to from 20 to 30 men each. The field marshal expresses the opinion that the Russian casualties must have totalled at least 10,000. Russians Again Active. Tokio, By Cable.-Manchurian Head outers, telegraphing February 2, says,] that on that day the Russians re turned their activity in front of the Japanese left, and that there has been constant skirmishing along the fronts of both the opposing forces, exchanges cf heavy artillery taking place. The Japanese again charge the Russians with the mutilation of their wounded. Russians Lose 13,000 Men.

The Power and Endurance of the Famed Itlckshairmcn. The feats of which the Japanese fickshawmen are capable are almost incredible; ? remember some years ?go of being driven ashore iii a yacht in the Inland Sea during a typhoon. It was far beyond the treaty limits xvhich then existed, and foreigners were not allowed to travel outside those limits without special passports. But the Mayor of the nearest fishing village was kindness itself. He prom ised to supply the best rickshawinen which thc neighborhood could produce, so as to take us to a railway station some forty tuiles away, And he kept his word, foi' tile distance wai covered in less than six hours, including n halt for refreshments. Each rickshaw was drawn by twi mon. tandem wise, the Usual fashion when long c'.is tances have to be covered. The leaders in each went through the whole distance, while the wheelers, so ;o sprak. were changed half way. The road was over thc greater part of the distance little belter than a mountain (rack, and it was rain ing most of the time, but there was never a break iii our progress except to allow the coolies to tnk? off or put on their doilies. They prefer running iu holhing but it loincloth, and do so i Whenever they get safely beyond tho j eye of Hie noKee, who have orders strictly to administer the law against nudity. The fare paid for this prolonged journey was, if I remember rightly, about three shillings for each rickshaw, the extra shilling beir.g a gratuity thrown in for good service. I know that it purchased so many blessings on .my honorable head as cannot yet be quite exhausted. A ucl having made our farewells at the railway station, the coolies started ba?k at once for their own village.-London Mail. Dignity ami Influence, The influence of the editorial depends upou tlie character of the journal in which it appears, maintains Fourth Estate. If the newspaper notoriously lacks sobriety of judgment, decency and se riousness cf purpose, its editorials arc necessarily inconsequential, trivial, silly and of no interest to intelligent persons. The opinions of a mountebank, who stands upon his head and twiddles his toes by way of exordium and to attract attention, are not listened to with re spect, and it is not to be wondered at that in time lie should come to the con clusion that the people do not want opinions, and that toe twiddling is the only thing really worth while. In journalism, as in the law. politics, theology, science and philosophy, the value and weight of opinion, are in exact proportion to the character and reputation of him who pronounces it. If the readers of a newspaper have confidence in ils sincerity, serious ness, ability and fidelity lo what it be lieves to be the public j liierest, they do much more than glance at its ed itorials, and (hat newspaper exerts a very marked influence upon the thought of the community in which it Is pub lished, and ls recognized abroad as a reliable exponent of intelligent public opinion.

A Havre fisherman's wife drying codfish caught by her husband on the coast of France noticed that one fish had a hard substance inside. On in vestigation she found in the fish a golden bracelet. How the ornament came into its strange receptacle is, of course, not known; but it is conjec tured that it must have slipped from the wrist of some fair passenger .lean ing over the bulwarks of a transat lantic liner, and been seized by the cod on reaching tho water. As the shoals of codfish have only recently left tho Newfoundland Banks, and are just beginning to make their appear ance in French waters, it is probable that the bracelet has traversed the' Atlantic in the fish's interior.
