BAD GAS HINDERS CONTEST.
UNABLE TO SAIL THE DISTANCE BECAUSE OF THIS POMMERN, BIG GERMAN BALLOON, WAS DEFEATED.
St. Paul, July 20. All of the five balloons which started from St. Paul Saturday la an effort to surpass the "world's distance and endurance record, have landed, the Chicago, owned "by C. A. Coey, of Chicago, winning the contest by traveling a distance of 73 miles in an air line. The Pommern, which the last to report landed Sunday at 10:30 a. m., near Warsaw, Minn., about 72 miles from 6t. Paul. ' C. A. Coey, pilot of the Chicago, wired from Blooming Prairie, Minn., where he landed, as follows: "Landed on farm .of O. P. Brooten at 11:25 a. m. Our trip was the most enjoyable one yet. While we are somewhat disappointed in the short distance made, yet the slow pace gave us a most beautiful opportunity to see the country. Had the gas been good ve would at least have broken the endurance record, as the wind currents were favorable. At 10:30 a. m. we were traveling so low that our drag rope anchored us and held us prisoners for over an hour. "We broke loose by rocking the basket and soon were sailing on. At 7:27 tu m. we sighted Mr. Thomas in the Pommern. We noticed that he was In a strata moving north, so we rose above him and at an altitude of 1,200 feet we found a current which took tis southwest. "As the Pommern was below the clouds we lost sight of her. Have nothing to regret. We stayed up as long as we possibly could on account of poor gas." A. Leo Stevens, director of th race, in explaining the failure of the aeronauts to sail greater distances than they accomplished, said that the lifting power of the gas wa3 not as great as they had counted on, and that consequently the balloons wer' unable to carry near the amount of ballast needed for a long flight. The distance In a balloon race is ' measured in a line from the starting point to the landing point and not by the total number of miles traveled. A table of the air line distances traveled by the balloons that have landed, complied this evening follows: King Edward, 24 miles. America, 58 miles. United States, 33 miles. Chicago, 73 miles.

London, July 20. Dispatches from j
Madrid show that mothers-in-law are troublesome even in royal families, as the youthful King of Spain has discovered to his sorrow. It appears that the mother of his bride, the Princess Henry of Battenberg, endeavored to keep up with mother-in-law traditions and run the household of the royal couple at Madrid. First the jars in the married life were slight, but daily they Increased in violence until the King put his foot squarely down and gave his mother-in-law an example of Kingly temper that rather surprised the Princess. The quarrel tempestuous, the exchange of compliments being entirely outside the book of court conversation and the result was that the mother-in-
, law suddenly packed her baggage and
left the palace, vowing she would paver return.

Immense quantities of fruit have been blown from the trees by the highs winds that prevailed during the recent thunder storms. In many orchards the ground is covered with fruit and the prospects are for a very
small crop of applies, plums and pears. The pears weathered the late spring
frosts in better condition than almost any other kind of small fruit, but they have been unable , to withstand the winds. Fruit growers report plums
are being stung badly and that caterpilars have begun work on the leaves and branches of all varieties of trees.

MEN ARE RESCUED FROM SINKING SHIP
Campers Make Wild Ride in Autos for Help.
New York, July 20. While the steamer Chippewa of the Clyde line was pounding holes in her side on the rocks off Montauk Point, twenty-four men were taken from her by a camping party.
Three weeks ago the Chippewa, bound from Charleston to Boston, with a cargo of lumber and animals, went onto the rocks. Since then wreckers
and a part of the crew have been aboard, attempting to float the ship.
Sunday a heavy sea set in, and the twenty-four men aboar.l signaled for help. Campers saw the signals and, jumping into automobiles, they made a fast run to the Life Saving station, fourteen miles away, where they found Capt. Hedges and placed themselves under his command. A life gun was brought to the scene of the wreck, a line was shot to the vessel and the twenty-four men were brought ashore in the breeches buoy. It is feared the Chippewa will be a total 1C8B. She is valued at about $500,000. The animals aboard, including alligators and ostriches, were taken off.

Mexico City, July 20. The anti-foreign fight in Mexico is assuming large proportions and a bitter controversy is
being waged by the foreign and native press. La Patria yesterday printed an article in which it proclaims the time ripe for a policy whose rallying cry shall be "Mexico for the Mexicans." Most of the trade Is directed against the "Yankees," a term of contempt used by Mexican editors in designating foreigners. Among other things La Patria declares that if Americans think the Governments of Argentine, Chili or Brazil more enlightened than Mexico, they should journey to those parts, the sooner the better. After referring to the efforts on the part of foreigners against the proposed mining law, restricting incorporations in Mexico, the paper says: "We repeat our attitude toward foreigners. We are not Boxers, but patriots, and when we take a given decision we take it, not as against foreigners, but to benefit Mexicans. Thje minister of public works has submitted to the executive of the Union the draft
of a new mining law which incapacitates foreigners from acquiring mines in the frontier estates and also from acquiring mines in any part of the Republic."
ARCHIE GOES TO CHURCH DIRTY
Papa Rooseveit Sends Him Back Home to Wash.
Oyster Bay, N. Y.. July. "JO. Archie Roosevelt attempted to attend church Sunday with the back of his neck and ears all red with the Indian make up he had worn during his sister's fancy dress party Saturday night. His half red half white condition escaped the attention of his parents as he climbed into the back seat of the automobile in which the president and Mrs. Roosevelt were taken lo church. However, as Archie left the auto mobile several boys standing about the church door began to laugh so loudly that the President turned to see what was the trouble. He caught sight of his son's Indian make up and Archie was told to get into the automobile as speedily as possible and hunt up soap and water.
A NOTABLE DWARF.
The Witty Dabnt of Bsralwatkf, the Ffemetia Little Pole. A very notable dwarf was Boralwaski, the Pole, of whore debut the following story Is told: As a boy of fifteen, when be was just one inch higher than a two foot rule, he was presented to the Empress Maria Theresa, who was so charmed by his grace and good looks that she seated him on her lap and gave him a hearty kiss. "And what do you consider the most interesting sight in Vienna?" she asked the boy. "What I now behold," he answered. "And what Is thatr "Why," said the tiny courtier, "to see so little a man on the lap of so great a lady." Naturally a youth who exhibited such a ready and courtly wit had a distinguished career before him. From that day Borulwaski became the pet.'of the courts of Europe. He was a special favorite of Stanislaus II., who took him to England and Introduced him to George III. and his family, and for more than half a century be made his home in England. Borulwaskl, who at his tallest was a
yard and three inches high, bad a sister whose bead was just level wtth her big brother's shoulders. He was not only a handsome and courtly man, but a scholar of repute. He lived in five reigns and was laid to rest In Durham in 1837 side by side with the Falstaffian Stephen Kemble.
Are You a Good Housekeeper? Most good housekeepers know how to select meats, vegetables and groceries, but when it comes to laundry soap, they take any kind just so it Is cheap. A good housekeeper will take a soap between her thumb and fore
finger, if the cake is soft she casts it aside. Easy Task soap is the favorite with most housekeepers, its purity makes it as hard as marble, yet the slightest rubbing produces soft creamy lather, just try a cake next wash day.

A Brazilian Fish Story. Two youths went down to the river to fish, and one of them was surprised on turning round to see his companion with only his feet and ankles sticking out of the mouth of a huge Hah. Nothing daunted, however, he rose to the occasion and plunged his harpoon Into the tall of the ferocious animal, which promptly ejected the unfortunate youth on to the bank. Brazilian Review.
