After a long preparation and waiting for favorable weather, the opportunity came today, and Mr. Wellman decided early in the morning to make the start. Everything had been in readiness for some time, and only the final details of setting out upon the flight remained to be carried out. It was 10 o'clock in the morning when the great airship was brought out of its shed and the men took their places in the car. When the anchors were cast loose the airship ascended, the engines were set in motion and everything seemed to work to perfection. The big air craft was maneuvered for some time and answered the helm perfectly. Then its head was turned to the northward and it set out at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour. . Provisions Go Down; Balloon Up. Suddenly, after- having covered some thirty-two miles and when everything seemed to be going splendidly, the leather guide rope, to which was attached a thousand pounds of provisions and stores, broke away. The accident occurred just as the airship was nearing the pack ice of north Spitzbergen. ' Released from this great weight the airship shot upward until it was above the clouds. The pilots succeeded however, in' bringing her down near the earth, turned her about and set out to fight their way southward. The airship proceeded slowly southward to the edge of the :rk-ice where the steamer Pram was anchored. After much difficulty a tow rope was gotten aboard the Fram, which started Immediately to tow the airship to Spitzbergen. The strain was so great, however, that it threatened to tear the car to which the rope was attached to " and Mr. Wellman finally decidj bring the airship down to the surface of the water. This was effected without mishap, and the car rested on the surface of the water until all the members of the crew, the dogs i and the scientific instruments could bo transferred aboard the Fram. A fresh start was then made, and the America was towed back to the landing stage and within a short distance of where the start was made. Mighty Bad Luck This. But the ill-luck of the expedition was not yet at an end. Just as the airship had reached the landing stage and everything looked favorable for its rescue without serious damage a sudden gust of wind caught the big Inflated bag broadside and snatched it away from Its tow lines. It was carried careening over rough ice hummocks for some distance, and then It exploded. All the scattered parts of the airship were subsequently recovered, but the damage was so great as to preclude any further attempt to fly over the pole this year.

Veteran Goes To Gettysburg Decorate Grave of Left Leg
Lenox, Mass., Aug. 23. In pursuance of a custom that has come to be almost a solemn rite, Major George Tate, U. S. A., retired, has left here to make his annual visit to the grave of his left leg, shot off in action, which is buried at Gettysburg on the battlefield. Major Tate, who is now an Internal revenue officer attached to the New York district, served through the war with signal honor and distinction until MEDEARIS BIDS LUST FAREWELL TO ASSOCIATES (Continued From Page One.) at great length but could no doubt recount many interesting experiences- ia his life of 100 years if he had the strength. He attended the old meetings of the pioneer days when it was necessary to carry a gun as protection against the hostile Indians. He was one of the first settlers in Wayne county and when he first came here the country was very wild and the woods full of red men, the cruel deeds and tortures of whom are vividly recalled by him. Strange to say (that is strange from the doctors' standpoint) Mr. Medearis has been an inveterate user of tobacco all his life. He is only one of the many old characters who' have lived to a ripe old age even though they have not followed the doctors pet hobby in this particular.

A stone, subsequently erected, now marks the grave of the gallant Major's leg. Since then not a year has passed but that Major Tate, no matter how pressing his duties, has gone to Gettysburg to lay a red rose on the grave of his lost member.
TEACHERS ENJOY FIRST NUMBER ON A GOOD PROGRAM (Continued From Page One.) boy of dust and electricity." The life of the boys was divided into three periods, the first between the time of birth and the age of eight years, the second from eight to thirteen, and the third from thirteen to twenty. The first period was said to be a struggle for a constitution. It is a savage period. The lad shows a tendency toward cruelty, because he never has learned to fear death and has experienced no pain or suffering himself. The second period is one of "restful growth." During this time the boy seems to get along by himself and too often is neglected by parents. It is really a most important period, whea he needs plenty nourishment and love. The final period is one of physical revolution. The boy has lithe strength but rMnarkable endurance. He is like the serpent changing his skin. He begins to realize he is becoming a man and the question of morality is uppermost. Is From Kentucky. "I am from Kentucky," was the expressive introductory remark of Dr. Kinnaman when he took the platform to deliver his first address. This seemed significant to the audience, as there was a ripple of laughter passed. He said he came from a state which is reputed for the whiskey it makes and added "which is drunk In Indiana. " Briefly he discussed the conditions of education in Kentucky. The state stands forty-second in the United States In point of Illiteracy, but when the negroes are Included this is reduced to the rank of thirty-seventh. He explained this condition as due tc the fact that the negroes usually congregate in the towns and cities where there are better school facilities than in the rural districts. Kentucky was said to be about now in the same condition as Indiana was in 1830. Taking up his subject "The School and Some Schools, Dr. Kinnaman said it is a mistake to, let the word "school- mean only the pupils. He asserted the school most mean the

Every instance where there is a teacher and pupils is not a school. A church is not a school. There is teaching and learning, but it is the purpose of the instition that determines it. The physical culture class was not organized this morning but will be tomorrow. Miss Grace Lambkin will give a round table talk. Roy Horton of the Y. M. C A. will direct the physical exercises. Two extras have been added to the program. Dr. Spurgeoen of England will give a humorous ' lecture Tuesday evening and Friday evening will speak on the recent great revival In Wales. SUNDAY BIG DAY. Chautauqua Grounds Were Thronged All Day. Yesterday was the largest attended first Sunday in the seven years In which the Richmond Chautauqua has been inexistence. The crowd began arriving early in the morning so as to be present when the Sunday school services convened. It kept on coming and between 3,000 and 4.00O persons were on the grounds for the afternoon program. The capacity of the tent was exhausted. Extra supplies of chairs were made use of and they were banked up along the hill side so as to afford as near an opportunity as possible for the occupants to see and hear. Take advantage of your opportunities as they were made for your advantage might have been selected as the I theme of the sermon by S. A. Ackley of Jackson. Mich., for the morning hour. Mr. Ackley is a strong speaker and his subject was "A Neglected Life." "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation," was the minister's text. Must Be Careful. The speaker advocated every one doing his part and the largest part possible. He assured his hearers they must be careful to do all that Is expected or required of them. He denounced the common impulse to let things slip in a reckless manner, expecting to take them up some other time. It was the old lesson of procrastinatioi and "he who hesitates is lost." He spoke of the talents and abilities of man and what results can be accomplished when they , are applied. He Instanced the development of the rose from its forty-five original varieties to the present list of over l.OOO different species. All of this was due 10 man. He spoke of the spiritual chances offered to man. He said the Christian religion is offered and to him who fails to accept its teachings, neglect will bring Its own consequences and rewards. The City Band, the Whitneys tnd George R. Wendling, one of the best speakers who ever graced the local platform, entertained the throng in the afternoon. The Whitneys gave concerts In their customary delightful, manner. The band was restful and re

lieved the strain. The portrayal of the character of Jesus Christ by Wendling was different from the usual custom. He was not pictured as "meek and lowly," but lordly. The country of Galilee was described so that the audience might better understand Ihe significance of the speaker's subject "The Man of Galilee." Christ was pictured as the "perfect man." The orator showed an skillfully portraying his idea of the Saviour. He was not an lmpassionate speaker, but conservative oratory swayed the audience and kept it following his words as though they were the wands of the magician. A Prince of Men. Christ was described as " a prince among men." He was to be an egoist in fact the greatest in the world "Believe also in me I am the way, the truth and the life." But Christ, according to Mr. Wendling was unlike any other egoist in the world. He was absolutely unselfish. He possessed boundless love and never was swayed by the desire for personal aggrandizement. Without entering into an argumentative discourse, the speaker sought to convey to his hearers the fact that Christ was the greatest man in every way, who ever has been on earth. In the evening, the band and the Lamprell Whitney as a reader furnished the program. Mrs. Whitney read from "The Servant in the House," the beautiful drama. Her reading was accomplished. She entered Into the climaxes with dramatic fervor quite realistic MAKING FALSE GEMS Jewelry Trade in Paris Greatly Aroused at the Present Time. Is RESEMBLE THE REAL ONES (American News Service) Paris. Aug. 23. Considerable excitement has been aroused in the Rue de la Paix and other centers of the Jewel trade owing to the immense strides which have lately been made here In the manufacture f false gems. These resemble the real ones so closely that none but experts know the difference, and even the experts are occasionally deceived. Imitation pearls In particular have been sold in large quantities. A manufacturer of these gems told me today that he had sold his imitations to ladles well known In society In England. France and America, during the last six months. "To give yon but one example," he said. "A little while ago a millionaire bought from me a string of artificial pearl for 480. Genuine pears of the same size and lustre would nave been worth 120,000. If,
as I suppose, the pearls were bought as a present, and the purchaser forgot to say where he bought them, the present would certainly be looked on as a princely one. "A favorite use of the sham pearls Is their addition to necklaces of real pearls. We recently added a row of sham pearls to a three-row necklace of genuine ones, and their owner failed to discover which row It was." -"
