LAST FLIGHT LONGEST. Wright Keeps His Air Ship Going for 65 Minutes and 52 Seconds -Breaks World Record. Washington, D. C., Sept. 10.-Or v te Wright today broke the world's record for time and distance for a heavier than air flying machine which lestablishedyesterday in a flight re 4siring great skill on account of a ten-mile wind. He eireled around the drill grounds at Fort Myer 58 times in.65 minutes and 52 seconds, exceed ing the time of yesterday's record light by three minutes and 37 see onds. The flight was witnessed by xwarly a thousand people. Throughout t1 day the weather was threatening 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. "Are you going to try to break the record which you made yesterday ?" tie was -asked. "No," he replied, "I am going up just for a little practice. Lmay make a flight of ten minutes in order to determine at what rate of speed I have been flying." The aeroplane rose from the ground almost immediately after leav ing the single starting mail. It con tinued to climb higher with each suc cessive round of the field until it reached an altitude of 75 feet. For the first 30 rounds the machine flew assmoothly as on its previous flights, but from that time on it was seen to pitch at the 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 the "aero-garge" for storing the aeroplane is located, Mr. Wright kept it several points in the wind. A gust of wind unusually strong struck the aerial flyer during the 42d round and it plunged sharply. Mr. Wright then brought his machine lower, but in the 53d round he had reached an altitude of 200 feet. Mr. -Wright came down at the northern end of the field at the end of the 58th round, landing easily. "I encountered a stiff breeze," were Mr. Wright's first words. His eyes were bloodshot and caused him considerable pain. "I don't know whether the wind or dust causes the irritation of my eyes. I had on a pair of goggles, too. Flying in a wind as 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 en hour, as I could tell by the quar ter'ing of the machine. I kept much higher than usual on account of the .wind." Signal corps officers of the war de partment today expressed the 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 M*yer yesterday. If he does make foi-ty-two miles an hour he will be entitled to a bonus of 20 per cent over the contract price, which would net him for his machine $30,000, the contract price being $25,000. The of fical trials will be held as soon as Mr. Wright annonces his readiness. DR. LINDER ACQUITTED. Jury Concludes that he Acted in Self Defence in Killing Negress. News and Courier. Union, September 10.-In the court of general sessions today, Dr. W. L. Linder was tried on the charge of murder and found not guilty. In October last Dr. Linder shot Lucy Lipsey, a negro woman, three times, and the woman died two days later. It' was proven in the case that the Lipsey woman had several.months be fore shot Dr. Linder in the back, while in his office; that she was tried for this assault and convicted. She appealed to the supreme court, and was out on bond pending the appeal, when she was shot. The evidence to day established a clear and convice ing case of self-defence. H. T. Yates, who has been in jail for months under a charge of arson, was tried today also, and acquitted, the jury being out only a few minutes. Yates was accused of burning his own outhouse, and, thereby, burning the outhouse of his next door neighbor. No material testimony was adduced against 'him. MISS MALONEY'S ;IFE. Father Intended She Should Take Vows as Nun-But Life Al lured Her. Washington Star. Helen Maloney, daughter of Martin Maloney, a Papal marq~uis. wife of haps has been led to weave abou herself a tangled web by the deceptior practiced on her father and made nec essary by his avowed purpose to maki her a nun, a fate she abhorred. And here is the story of his young est child, Helen Maloney: At the time of the marriage of her sister, Margaret Maloney, Helen wa! a slip of a girl, tall and well develop ed for her seventeen years. She heli the promise of a beautiful woman and everywhere she went, both be cause of- her personal attraction ani the fact that she was the heiress t< the bulk of Martin Maloney's mil lions, she met flattery and adulation Helen Maloney loved the , world She loved its pleasures, its light heartedness and everything in it tha1 was beautiful and pleasure-making. _But Martin Maloney saw in hi4 youthful daughter only the possibili ties, the protection and puritu of convent. He anticipated no defeat oj his plan. It was at this time that h< offered to establish for Archbishol Rryan, of Philadelphia, an order o nuns whose life work should be the care of aged men and women. Seran. ton, the old home of Mart.in Maloney where his Irish father and mother hai begun their humble struggle for ex istence, was chosen as the home of this order. Martin Maloney made no secret o: his cherished dream; he let it b< known that above all other things h< desired his youngest child to entei this convent and consecrate her liff to this noble work. He saw in the years to come his "wee girl" the lady abbess of a convent, the mothei of an order- whose life work was t< cheer the declining days of men and women. . She Loved the World But Helen Maloney loved the world Her impulsive nature cried out foi freedom and pleasure, always pleas ure. The sombre garb of a cloisterei nun struck terror to her soul and s< the pendulum swung the other way. 'It was at this time that Arthur Her. bert Osborne came into her life. Th* story of her elopement and her mar riage to Osborne has been told. Thi: secret was kept from Martin Maloney although during the European traveh of last summer Mrs. Maloney was tak en into her daughter's confidence. It was during a stay in Paris thal Samuel B. Clarkson came upon th< scene. Mrs. Maloney is an Englis] woman with a deep love for her moth er country. Ciarkson was a fellow country man a soldier, and identified with Englis] military circles. He won the friend ship of Mrs. Maloney and then lait siege to the heart of her daughter Clarkson was entertained by the Ma loneys in Paris, and he followei then to Naples and to Rome. He was constant attendant there of the youn4 American heiress. Martin Malone: knew little or nothing of this friend ship. .When Mrs. Maloney and her daugh ter returned to their Spring Lakt home Martin Maloney began to hea: of the young Englishman. Every droj of his blood is Irish and he lookei upon his daughter's friend ship witi Mr. Clarkson with apprehension. H< made it understood that he did nol desire the visits of the young man t< his home and once more Helen Ma. loney chafed under the restraint Then it was that Martin Malonev ae companiedf President Roosevelt on his Western t-our. During his absence th< tragedy of Helen Maloney s life de. veloped. Mr. Clarkson was a housi guest at the Maloneys' Spring Laki mansion. When they took up theli residence in their town house ir Philadelphia Mr. Clarkson was a daily visitor. The Second Marriage. Helen Maloney was an enthusiastir autoist, and .she and Samuel Clarksor took almost daily rides around the beautiful country near Philadelphia No restraint was placed upon the young heiress at this time and hei love of adventure ran riot. Finall. came the day when Helen Malone) and Mr. Clarkson came to New Yorl "for an afternoon.'" She was ex pected home that night. She hai brought no luggage with her, al though Clarkson appeared at the Wal dorf that evening with his own valis< An engagement was made during thi course of the afternoon for a theatr< party that evening with some of Miss Maloney 's friends. Then Samue: Clarkson and his madcap Irish sweet heart went to the Waldorf for dinner Before the hour of the theatre party had arrived Helen M4,oney was indis posed and the matron of the hotel as sisted her to bed. According to the declaration of Hel en Maloney. The never had anyV inten t this end, and as she did not consider iI herself Osborne's wife, she yielded to - Mr. Clarkson's persuasions and fled to Montreal, where another marriage contract was entered into. The next day they sailed for London on sepa rate steamers. Helen Maloney could not bring her self to notify her parents of what she had done, but from New York she had written an appealing letter to Mrs. Ritchie telling her the whole story and giving a brief outline of her plans. Mrs. Ritchie forwarded the letter to her mother and then took the first steamer for London. There she found her young sister miserable and alone, and the two sisters made their way to Paris to await news from their parents. Grew Suddenly Old. Martin Maloney began to grow old the day his daughter's letter was put in his hands. He began to see the end of all his earthly hopes. He was strong in the pride of his humble but honest and honorloving mother. He could have stood the loss of all his wealth and all .his power, and with his genius for money-making could have started all over again with the vigor and enthusiasm of his youth, d but when the whole truth came upon him he lost his grip on things. He sought the church in the hope 1 that its leaders might solve the pro blem. He hurried to France to bring 1 back the girl whose future had meant almost everything in the world to him. For a long time his heart was t full of bitterness toward Osborne, to ward all his friends, and especially to ward Saumel Clarkson. He sought out the dignitaries of his church and to a few of these he told the whole story. His one desire was to have the marriage of Mr. Osborne annull ed, and he vowed to do violence to b Mr. Clarkson if ever the young Eng lishman crossed his way. Mr. Ma loney considered as his enemies every one who ever suggested a reconcilia- r tion. He wished to wipe out of his life and the life of his child every one who had been connected with her 1 entanglement. Many reports have been circulated as to Helen Maloney's plans and her whereabouts, and most of these ru mors have held that she and Clarkson V awaited only the annulment of her marritage with Mr. Osborne in order to be legally married. It has been said that Miss Maloney and Mr. Clarkson had already gone away together. None-~ of these reports have been either de nied or affirmed by Mr. Maloney. An Overvaluation. John K. Lloyd, the noted life-saver I of Long Branch, related some of his I life-saving experiences at a compli- i mentary dinner. "I have had dealings with very generous men,' said the veteran hero, and I have had dealings with very mean men. "Once, on a January day in Phila delphia, a man who was recovering. from a debauch fell from one of the i -Delaware piers into the cold wet river. I "Slipping off my overcoat, I plung- 3 ed in after him. I fished him up from the bottom. He was unconscious, E but I mianaged to get him to a big, I cold cake of ice, and on this cake of ice I supported the pa.ir of us till help I arrived. I "Well, I had saved the man's life, t and he said he was grateful. " Here, young fellow.' said he. f 'here's a half dollar. You saved'my a life aind you must be chilled through. I Go and get your self a p)int of whis- r "But I handed him a quarter back. I' "'No, no,' I said, 'a half pint's1 your price. You've overvalued your- F self.' ''-Washington Star. The Margin of Profit. "There was a general storekeep- a er,'' said a financier, "who was fore- ( ed to the wall by hard times and re- t solved to make an assignment. He fig- 0 ured out that he would be able to P pay 40 cents on the dollar. Well, a t certain wholesaler that he had dealt fl pretty heavily with hear-d of his plight 6 and came posthaste to see him. -'" 'What !' the wholesaler shouted. I 'Going to make an assignment!
