PERSONALS.

Dr. C. T. Ball Has moved his office from Beach block to the Savings bank building, on south Sixth street, taking the room just vacated by Dr. Glover.

Messrs. Cohen's new tailoring house, which they opened at 405 Main street only

laBt

week, has already become a

busy place. Their extensive line of spring fabrics elicits compliments from gentlemen generally, who have paid them a visit. Their very wholesome business tells the story viz, that they have struck the popular chord.

Spring may jump down upon us at any moment, therefore would it not be wise to look up the spring overcoat and have it renovated to look as fine as a splinter new one, and be ready in time! H. L. Reiner has considerably increased hie force of skillful workmen and can renovate, clean and dye all kinds of garments on the shortest notice and in the very best manner. He is at the old place,

Main street.

Messrs. Moore & LaDgen have bee,n on a "rush," as the saying goes, during the past week, and pedestrians, on passing their doors at almost any hour during the day or night, could hear the clank of presses. The firm have acquired a deservedly high reputation for producing first-class job work, and, as a consequence, they are kept extremely busy to turn out orders on time. But they are on time, "just the same."

Messrs. E. R. Wright & Co, proprietors of the "White Front" grocery, never cease in their efforts to keep their establishment right in the van of family supply houses, and they reach out in all directions to secure the choicest of everything the market affords, and pedestrians along Main street yesterday could not but notice the ample display of delicacies of all kinds, including fresh vegetables crisp and tempting. To the Public:

I wish to inform you that the wholesale whisky business is to take one barrel of good straight whisky and make four out of it. Take $5 worth of alcohol, $1.50 worth of prune juice, §1 worth of burnt sugar and fill up with distilled water, and then roll the barrel around two or three days and you have enough whisky to fill four barrels. The whisky in this decoction gives it the flavor, the alcohol the proof, the prunes the age and the sugar the color. Cobweb hall does not handle such stuff.

CAN MEN LEARN TO FLY.!

A Problem Agitating the Academy of Science—A Company to Boom Invention.

A few weeks ago an adventurous aeronaut succeeded in flying a couple of miles in the suburbs of New York, with the aid of a huge machine that had wings, and that seemed to use them with considerable success. For something like a generation the inventor of this Hying machine has been at work upon it, and had been laughed at because of it as heartily as ever the irrepressible Keely, of motor fame, was laughed at. But he was a Scotchman, who possessed true Scotch tenacity. He struck to his idea and finally had the satisfaction of seeing its great wings beat the air over Coney island and carry it a considerable distance before it was thought well to let it rest.

As a result of this there has been organized a company with a capital of ill,000,000, the object of which is to educate the public in the matter of llying, and to supply the wings that will be necessary.

Even the august Academy of Sciences says the New York Mail and Express, which once every week discusses subjects that most people know nothing about, and whose members know pretty much everything that mortal man ought to know, is taking some cognizance of the affair at issue, and in a quiet way are discussing the question as to whether or not man will be able to fly. Many of the learned professors insist that, as man has by aid of machinery been able to propel himself through the water, there is no reason why he should not conquer the air in the same manner. But many more of the professors shake their heads in solemn negation when this argument is advanced.

Still, the Scotch inventor's success has created an impression. His flying machine is cigar-shaped, some sixty feet in length 'and forty-two feet in diameter. Its wings work exactly like those of a bird by the aid of a propeller worked by electricity, and the passenger is carried just as the eagle carries its prey. It is a peculiar affair, but has been more successful than anything of its kind, and hence the arguments among the scientific professors. Most of these professors believe that man will be able to fly by means of mechanism only when that mechanism is made after that of the bird. One of these learned men, discussing the matter the other day, expressed this opinion: He said that from the earliest time the dominant wi6h of man had been to fly after the manner and method of the bird. Most models of the air-ships that have been attempted have been after the bird of flight, and particularly of the sea bird, whose ability for continual flight, owing to its power of lightening its body, is well known. "Should man ever fly successfully," said the learned man, "he will have to do it by means of mechanism modeled after the elastic and muscular form of the sea bird."

The authorities tell us that the tiying machine is of prehistorical origin. We are told also that some four hundred years B. C. a wooden pigeon was made to fly with considerable success. As this exploit was accomplished more than two thousand two hundred years before the trial of our Scotch inventor's machine we have not much to boast of.

Just what will come of the discussion at the Academy of Science remains to be seen. Nothing at all may come of it

in the end except a good deal of theorizing. But in the meantime Patrick C. Campbell, the doughty Scotchman, who is the inventor of a machine that made the recent successful fight through the air, is going right ahead and is terribly in earnest. He has worked nearly all his life on his invention, and now, backed as he is by a capitalized company, he thinks he sees success ahead.

VANDERBILT'S DINING-ROOM. W. H. Vanderbilt's dining-room is, perhaps, the most gorgeously fitted up of any room used for a similar purpose in America. The cost being about forty thousand dollars. This is a wholesome price to put into one room, and if the viands would have to conform, which it should, would make eating rather expensive therein. The furniture for din-ing-rooms at the present time consists of many beautiful patterns in tables, chairs and sideboards, showing the highest artistic taste. Not only in diningroom garniture, but in fact, furniture for all rooms of modern homes evince rare taste, design and finish, also in numerous improvements, one among which is the folding bed. This handsome piece of furniture has taken the public by storm, and instead of ye olden time bed-steads' which required a ladder to get into them, the folding bed is found in general use. A model of convenience, ornamental and compact, it is but natural that it would become a favorite in the home. Washstands, chairs, center tables, window stands, hall racks, luxuriously upholstered sleepy hollow rockers and so on, all bear the impress of wonderful improvements and advanced ideas. To properly appreciate the elegance of this class of goods is to visit the mammoth furniture rooms of Messrs. Wood & Wright at 23 and 25 south Fourth street. These gentlemen carry an extensive stock and aim to please by selling at very popular prices.
