Says That Uncle Sam Has Wot Yet Solved Aerial navigation.

BOGUS STORY IS AFLOAT ADMITTED THAT ORDINANCE BUREAU HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING, BUT NO STEPS TAKEN TO BUY A MACHINE. rPublishers' Press.J Washington, Dec. 1. General Crosier, chief of ordnance of the war department, is indignant, because he has been quoted as stating that the government is on the threshold of practical aerial navigation, and that he Kill be in a position to report tc the next Hague conference such progress as will make it practicable to drop explosives with such, certainty as to obviate the destruction of hospitals, churches, etc. He denies the assertions in toto, and declares that word3 have been put into his mouth which he never uttered. General Crozier admits that his bureau has been in communication with the Wright Brothers of Dayton. Ohio, who have experimented with an aeroplane, but he says that no offer has been mad? for the purchase o such a machine, and declares :.ha" the government will not furnish money for experiments. CHURCH AND CLERGY. An Illinois preacher has arranged to deliver, his own funeral sermon by means of a phonograph. To save Andover seminary it is pro pose J to make it a great training school for missionaries, home and foreign. Kev. W. S. Baer of Brooklyn called upon the police to remove from a fence opposite his church a theatrical poster ho considered indecent, and it wa3 done. The most benevolent church in America is that in Oklahoma whose membership is composed of 120 Kiowa Indians. Their gifts for benevolent purposes last year amounted to 1.0GJ. The second synagogue in the state of Vermont has been built in West Jutland. It will seat about l."0 people. Burlington is the only other city in Vermont which boasts of a synagogue. THE ROYAL BOX.

NAVY WINS AFTER FIVE LONG. YEARS With All Odds Against Them, Cadets Capture Annual Game With Army. WAS SPLENDID STRUGGLE NEITHER TEAM WAS ABLE TO S SCORE IN FIRST HALF BUT NAVY GOT TEN POINTS IN LAST PERIOD OF PLAY. Publishers Press. 1 Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Dec. 1 It was with a whirlwind finish that the doughty Middies eleven of the U. S. naval academy wound up the 1906 football season today by decisively defeating the crack West Point team in their annual gridiron struggle by a score of 10 to 0. Five years had elapsed since the navy lads had tasted victory in a game with WesJ; Point. They had accumulated an ancient grudge, and ' today they fed it" fat. Outweighed, and in the minds of all but the most partisan rooters, outclassed in the finer points of the game, the Middies trotted onto the field the short enders in the betting and the supposed prospective victims of a slaughter at ! the hands of the West Point lads who had played Yale and Harvard to a standstill. No Scores in First Half. With the wind against them the Middies fought manfully in the first half and prevented their line from being crclsed while in the second half with the wind helping them the sailor lads showed superior football. They could not gain against the heavy line of the Army but at k? "iking and the forward pass they did well. The first points scored by the Middies were the result of one of the most spectacular field goals of the season, Northcroft booting the oval across the bar from a difficult angle on the 44 yard line. The touchdown was scored from the 40 yard line by the most cleverly executed forward pass seen in a big game in the east this season, Norton on the army's 40yard line, tossing the ball 20 yards to Ingram who ran 20 yards more to plant the oval between the goal posts. TIM MURPHY'S VISIT WAS WARMLY . RECEIVED Despite Counter Attractions There Was Big Audience to Witness the Revival of "Old Innocence," Mr. Murphy's Strongest Play. Tim Murphy was at the Gennett last night and he was the same Tim Murphy of former visits. Despite numerous other attractions and coniirrg.In the midst of a full week . of plays, a good sized crowd turned out ! to see one of Richmond's favorites j in the revival of "Old Innocence." The revival is worthy one although Mr. Myrphy does not carry any extensive amount of scenery with him, not as much as on his first visit here with the piece. It seems that he is making his acting, that of his wife and his splendid company take up the attention of the audience. At the end of the third act, in response to hearty applause, Mr. Murphy told several of Lis stories. - - ...... .

On the other hand the women would most likely visit the homes of other families where children were. Dr. Bond said that the department had enforced rules as rigidly as possible. Tlie fumigation of- homes where the disease had appered, Dr. Bond said, was thoroughly done despite charges to the contrary. The health department declares that it is impossible to guard houses and keep neighbors from entering homes where the disease has appeared, which the board asserts Is largely responsible for the epidemic. Dr. Bond said that he believed the back-bone of the epidemic had been broken. "More cards are being taken down each day at this time than there are new ones going up" he said, "and this is a very encouraging sign.. The health department is now doing and has been doing everything possible to prevent the spread of the disease." SIRES AND SONS. M.

Senator John T. Morgan Tells of Fortitude of the Isle of Pine Residents.

UNITED STATES BLAMED ALL-3ES THAT THE EXECUTIVE COMf-ELS THE ISLANDERS TO SUBMIT TO "N TYRAN NY. Publishers Press. Washington, Dec. 1. Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, has sent a igorous letter to an American res lent of the Isle of Pines, in whioh ha discusses the grievances of the Americans there. Among other things he says: . ' - "Your people have borne repeated wrongs with wisa and admirable self control. You are between the upper and nether millstones, the Cuban runner being on top and tie executive of the United States compelling yen: to submit to the crushing, and your duty of protection to your families constraining you to make no forcible re sistance. In this attitude vou havo won the admiration and confidence of the people of the United States, and have given notice to Cuba that your obedience, even to the absurd edicts of a defecto government, Is proof of a more determined obedience to a high er duty when the time comes for its assertion."

Furnishing an Opportunity. A Milwaukee man with a great head aud some regard for the tender feelings that the young carry around in their bosoms has built a large apartment bouse, one side of which wf.l be rented to bachelors and the other to sweet and lovable girls. In the center will be a common meeting place, presided over by a chaperon with not too bright eyes. That should help some. The reason why more young people do not marry is that they do not have a chance to get acquainted. There Is many a bashful young man who would gladly assume matrimonial responsibilities If some one would lead him up to a girl and bold him there until he got acquainted. We hope the building will prove the boon that its owner Intends, but matters will be much facilitated if he will equip it with plenty of flre escapes and have a good fire about once a week.
