LAST PLIGHT LONGEST.
Wright Keeps His Air Ship Going
for 65 Minutes and 52 Seconds
! ?Breaks World Record.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 10.?Orviile
Wright today broke the world's
record for time and distance for a
heavier than air flying machine which
ha establishedyestorduy in a flight requiring
great skill on account of a
ten-mile wind. He circled around the
drill grounds at Fort Myer 58 times
in 65 minutes and 52 seconds, exceeding
the time of yesterday 's record
flight fry throe minutes and 37 see- |
onds. The flight was witnessed by
naarly a thousand people. Throughout j
the day the weather was threatening j
and Mr. Wright did not arrive at the ,
field until after 4 o'clock. At 5
o'clock Mr. Wright announced that
he-, was ready.
"Ave you going to try to break the
record which you made yesterday?"
he was asked. "No," he replied, "I
am going up just for a little practice.
I may make a flight of ten minutes in
order to determine at what rate of
speed 1 have been flying."
The aeroplane rose from the
ground almost immediately after leaving
the single starting rail. It continued
to climb higher with each successive
round of the field until it '
reached an altitude of 75 feet. For
tire first. 30 rounds the machine flew !
as-smoothly as on its previous flights,
but from that time on It was seen *
to pitch at tlie turns as the stiffening '
breeze from the west struck it. As *
the machine moved from the northern
end of the field to the southern end, ^
where tho "aero-gorge" for storing <
the aeroplane is located, Mr. Wright (
kept it. several ]>oints in the wind. A A
gust of wind unusually strong struck
the aerial flyer during the 42d round
and it. plunged sharply. Mr. Wright 1
then brought his machine Icrwer, but
in the 53d round lie had reached an '
altitude of 200 feet. Mr. Wright 1
came down at the northern end of the *
field at the end of the 58th round,
landing easily. 1
"I encountered a stiff breeze,"
were Mr. Wright's first words, llis
eyes were bloodshot and caused him
considerable, pain. "1 don't know
whether the wind or dust causes the
irritation of niy eyes. I had on a
pair of goggles, too. Flying in a
wind jus i did today is lots of fun.
It's more sport than flying in a calm
as on yesterday. The wind must have
been blowing fifteen or more miles
an hour, as I could tell by the quartering
of the machine. T kept much
higher than usual on account of the
wind.''
Signal eoi-ps otlicers of t he war tie- (
part me nt today expressed tho belief (
that Orville Wright will make a speed ]
of at least forty-two miles an hour (
with his heavier than air machine, (
which did such excellent work at Fort
Myer yesterday. If he does make |
forty-two miles ail hour he will be
entitled to a bonus ot' 20 per cent
over the contract price, which would
net him for his machine .$."{0,000, the
contract price being .$2.~>,000. The ofiicaJ
trials will be held as soon as
Mr. Wright annonccs his readiness

MISS MALONEY'S LIFE.
i
Tather Intended She Should Take 1
Vows as Nun?But Life Al- 1
lured Her. 1
1
Washington Star. '
Helen Maloney, daughter of Martin
Moloney, a Papal marquis, wife of <
two men. and denied annulment of the I
first matrimonial contract ' by the <
< lunch of Koine that she may make I
valid the second ceremony, i-. an i
Irish madcap who loves life, and per- 1
*
haps has been led to weave about
herself a tangled wob by the deception j
practiced on her father and made necessary
by his avowed purpose to make 1
her a nun, a fate she abhorred. ,
And here is the story of his young- <
est child, Helen Maloney: ]
At the time of the matrriage of her
sister, Margaret Maloney, Helen was !
a Blip of a girl, tall and well develop- J
ed for her seventeen years. She held 1
the promise of a beautiful woman, ]
and everywhere she wont, both be- 1
cause of- her personal attraction and I
the fact that she was the heiress to '
the bulk of Martin Maloney \s mil- i
lions she met flattery and adulation. i
^ Helen Maloney loved the world. !
She loved its pleasures, its light- 1
hear ted ness and everything in it that I
ivws beautiful and pleasure-making.
Hut Martin Maloney saw in his
routhful daughter only the possibili- !
lies, the protection and purity of a '
ton vent. He anticipated no defeat of (
us plan. It w<is at this time that he J
> fie rod to establish for Archbishop
[iryan, of Philadelphia, an order of (
inns whose lift; work should be the N
a e of aged men and women. Scran- '
on, I he old home of Martin Maloney, '
vhoro his Irish father and mother had J
>egun their humble struggle for exstance,
was ehosen as the home of 1
his order.
Martin Maloney made no secret of '
lis cherished dream; lie lot. it he 1
enown that above all other things he *
lesired his youngest child to enter f
Ins convent and consecrate her life
o this noble work. He saw in the ^
-'ears to come his "wee girl" the A
ady abbess of a convent, tlie mother X
>f an order whose life work was to ?
dicer the declining days of men and 1
vomen. s
She Loved the World. *
Hut Helen Maloney loved the world.
iler impulsive nature cried out for \
'rcedom and pleasure, always pleasno.
'i'lie sombre gar!) of a cloistered
inn struck terror to her soul and so f
lie pendulum swung the other way. 1
ll was at this time that Arthur Her>ert
Osborne c.aine into her life. The
itory of her elopement and her mar- ?
iage to Osborne has been told. This
'Corel was kept from Martin Maloney, '''
tl though during the European travels v
'I' last summer Mrs. Maloney was Ink- *'
mi into her daughter's confidence. J'
K was during a stay in Paris that \
Samuel H. Olarkson came upon the
icene. Mrs. Maloney is an English j
voman with a deep love for her moth- ?
-r oountry.
Clarkson was a fellow country man,
i soldier, and identified with English
mliturv circles. He won tlie friendship
of Mrs. Maloney and then laid
"ogc to the heart of her daughter. \
clarkson was entertained by I he Maoneys
in Paris, and he followed them K
o Naples and to Rome. He was a

to Montreal, where another marriage

steamers.
Helen Moloney could not bring herself
to notify her parents of what she

Grew Suddenly Old.
Mai'tin Maloney began to grow old
lie day his daughter's letter was put
n his hands. lie began to see the
!nd of all his earthly hopes. He was
itrong in the pride of his humble but
lonest and honorloving mother. He
:onld have stood tlie loss of all his
vcalth and all his power, and with j
lis genius for money-making could >
lave started all over again with the
'igor and enthusiasm of his youth,
nit when the whole truth came upon ^
iiin ho lost his grip on things. y
lie sought the church in the hope
hat its leaders might solve thr> pro- .
>lem. He hurried to France t.o bring ^
>ack the girl whose future had meant
ilmost everything in the world to
lira. For a long time his heart was
nil of bitterness toward Osborne, towvrd
all his friends, and especially to- 1
vard Sanniel Clarkson. He sought
nit the dignitaries of his church and
o a few of these he told the whole *
tory. His one desire was to have
lie marriage of Mr. Osborne annullid,
(iiul he vowed to do violence to *
Jr. Clarkson if ever the young Eng- :
ishman crossed his way. Mr. Maoney
considered as his enemies every
me who ever suggested a reconcilia- J
ion. He wished to wipe out of his
ifc mid I he life of his child every
no who had been connected with her _
ntanglement.
Many reports have been circulated J,
is to Helen Maloney's plans and Iter ^
rhereabouts, and most of these runors
have held that she and (Clarkson
iwaited only the annulment of her
nurriage with Mr. Osborne in order to x
e legally married. It lias been said
hat Miss Maloney and Mr. Clarkson (
uul already gone away together. None ,
>f these rejiorts have been either delicti
or affirmed by Mr. Maloney. i
