Sunday in Exciting Race at Rheims, Glenn Curtiss Wins Another -Race Despite Pen aiization. (LATHAM FINISHED A VERY CLOSE SECOND sfileriot's Machine Turned Over And Takes Fire and He Is Severely But Not Danger- , ously Hurt. Betheny Aviation Field, Rheims, August 30. A', twilight vision of 'a great white bird soaring above the iplain, so high i that it seemed to rise above the yelldw harvest moon just rising above thedistant hills, and the fleeting "Golden Flier," as the Curitlss machine hastbeen dubbed, smashing another world's record in the 'Prix Do Lavitesse, were the closing glories of aviation week. Tb.e victory of Glenn H. Curtiss, the sole American representative in the contests, coming on the heels of his great victory in the international cup Saturday, gives the United States the : lion's share of the honors of the meetling. The Prix De LaVitesse of 200,000 francs ($4,000),. divided into four prizes, was distributed to the four machines making three rounds of the course, SO kilometers, at the greatest i speed, the first, prize being won by Curtiss handily, notwithstanding his (Penalization. Curtiss only missedi winning the lap Bpeed contest from (Bier lot by a small i margin. Captured Second Place. He captured second place in that event, which wasoverfthe full circuit of 10 kilometers, or.' 6(21 miles, raising this total money winnings for th? i meeting to 32,000 francs, besides the International cup, which goes to the Aero Club of America, inscribed with his name. As In Saturday's cup contest, an accidentthe only serious one of the meeting, removed Bleriot, the American's most dangerous -competitor, from Sunday's three-lap speed contest. Blerlot'sescape froimdeath was a narrow one. He had passed the first "turn in the Prix De Lavitesse when the rudder suddenly failed to respond. The machine turned completely over three times, landing with such force that the petrol tank burst, and, catchling fire from theAot motor, enveloped the machine and pilot In flames. Be.fore Bleriot could extricate himself ihe was burned about, the face and hands, but, fortunately, not seriously. . With Bleriot out of the contest, Latham remained Curtiss's only serious Irival. The race was intensely excitUng. Curtiss Overhauled Him. Latham, with No. 13, started only four minutes ahead of the American, who gave chase. Curtiss overhauled him in every kilometer, finishing less than 400 metres behind the FrenchThe time by laps was: Latham, 8:47 8-5, 17:38 4-6, 26:32 2-5; Curtiss, T:50 4-5, 2-6. 24:15 l-S. The committee first posted Latham's time with one twentieth penalization as 27 1 2-5, giving Curtiss the victory, as the others who had taken part in the event had not approached the American's speed. Latham, however, refused to accept defeat, and brought No. 29. With this he flew considerably faster, his time being recorded as 8:33, 17:03, 25:18 1-C. The time, but not the amount of penalization, was posted, and there was excitement among the Americans, as the penalization, which was only one twentieth, would bring the time ta 26:33 1-5, seven seconds less than that made by Curtiss. No official information could be obtained beyond the fact that the Judges were awaiting reports from the field commissioner at i-aiY nftr which no start would be possible. ' Would Try Again. WIIWWi.MVWvtvii v been, obliged thrice to muffle his accelerator on the previous flight on account of pitching, declared his confidence to do 1etter in another attempt and decided to try it again. Within 'two minutes his machine was out and speeding across the line. He flew higher than he had ever gone before, keeping the throttle wide open and making each round at swifter speed than in any of his previous efforts. The first round he covered in 7:49 2-5; the watches showed 15:37 45 at the end of the second round and they were snapped at 23:2ft at the finish. With his penalization Curtiss's time stood at 25:4! 2-5 and this gave him the race by almost a minute mar- " gin.. But when "he learned that the second round had been traversed in 7:43-2-5, less than one second from Blerlot's lap record, he insisted upon making another effort, but failed to eqnal the Frenchman's time by four seconds. Two Text. ' A church In Scotland being vacant, ; two candidates offered to preach, their names being Adam and Low.

Some Things to Eat in Hot Weather

Cold luncheons are excellent when the weather is hot To begin with, they are more appetizing and when heat exhaustion makes any kind of food pall upon the palate, the moe attractive nourishment can be made the better for summer is a hard strain on girls who work, and it becomes important that they shall eat enough to keep physically well. Certain it is that unless they are properly nourished, complexions will become sallow and muddy, and drawn lines will appear about the mouth. In the middle of the day salads are excellent. A slipe of cold meat, on which is French dressing, fills all requirements, when bread and butter and lettuce, or some other crisp green is combined. The dressing piques the appetite and eating becomes less difficult. Good mayonnaise is one of the most wholesome articles of diet that can be Indulged in. The oil is extremely Mulshing, and the sauce is easily di

CORKY HARRIS DEAD

Former Polo Star Ends His Life in a Hospital at Muncie. DEATH DUE TO PARALYSIS Muncie, Ind., Aug. 30. Mott Harris, 36, better known as "Corky" Harris, a former roller polo star and bartender, died at the Muncie hospital after an illness extending over a period of six weeks. At that time Harris was stricken with paralysis. He was confined to his bed until a few weeks ago when he regained his strength to such an extent that he was able to' walk about the streets. Several days ago a turn for the worse transpired and he was removed to the Muncie hospital. With the last attack it was apparent to the friends and relatives of the deceased that he would survive but a short time. Harris was the son of Joseph Harris, of Indianapolis. He is also survived by a sister of that place. During the days of the polo raze in Muncie, Harris was one of the best goaltenders In the Western Polo league. His career began with the old Muncie Royals in 1888. He played with that organization for three years during which time he never lost a game. Sometime later he engaged in tending bar for several well known saloonkeepers but in 1900 he again donned his polo togs and three- years more were sient on the resined floor. "Oh, papa," tiieU Marie, "do you know the meanings of Christian names? 'William' moans good. I wonder what what 'Arthur' means?" And the girl blushed, oh. so prettily. Papa put on his severest aspect. "I hope Arthur means business," was the reply. gested. Cold fish of any kind is delicious when served with it, and a vegetable salad dressed with mayonnaise is a meal in itself. Potatoes, beets, beans, peas and any other vegetable j having body, when seasoned with on ion and garnished with mayonnaise, is one of the best luncheons a girl can have. There is this to be said, however, for mayonnaise an inferior quality should never be eaten, for it is apt to be made of rancid olive oil or a sub stitute for the real article and is in digestible. Cold boiled eggs should be on a luncheon dietary list; while cold rice is invaluable. Cooked so that each grain is separate, put into a basin with some berries or other fruit, su gared and creamed. It becomes delectable, nourishing and not too heavy for hot days. Variety is had in It by changing fruits and by doing this rice may be eaten daily without satiety. Any of the prepared uncooked cereals may be served in the same way.

Those Who Doubted Ability of Entirely Local Management To Handle Big Affair Much Surprised. SUPPORT BY PUBLIC WAS VERY GENEROUS It Is Estimated That There Was Between 25,000 and 30,000 Paid Admissions to The Althoigh the public A large was somewffat skeptical of tfii ability of local pfersons to take the management of kf Chautauqua, these (men have demonstrated, by the succlss of the seventh annual assembly ac-Ulen Mil ler park, which came to ajtclose yesterday, that they are capabjp of handling ie affair as well as a trained man.fFurthermore the mormy realized remafas entirely at hom, the city gettiitg half of the net receipts as a sinking fund for a naviliin for Olen Miller park, and the Yfung Men s Christfon Association, th remainder. The Rfkhnioud public, appreciating the fact that the management was inexperience, entered not word of complaint bocajise of a tew failures, such as the non ppearanc of some of the talent. That the public will support the assembly of 1910 in as generous a manner as they did this j-ear is assured. Already, the plans for next year's assembly are being considered and the management has announced that the character of the future assemblies will be continued on the same high plane. The officials expect to benefit greatly from this year's experience. Expect Good Profit. In review of the success of the assembly this year, compared with those of the past, it must be admitted that the attendance was not so large. The total attendance for the ten days will probably range between 25,000 and 30,000. Yesterday, which was the big day, about 5,000 persons were admitted while a year ago more than 8,000 attended. To offset the fact that there were more single admission tickets sold last year than this, the exact contrary is true of the season ticket sales. It is probable that the net re ceipts this year will be as large as last as expenses were cut down in many instances this year. Report as to the success of this year's assembly will not be made for two or three weeks. Following the winding up of the business the guarantors, who include local business and professional men, will hold a meeting and elect officers for the ensuing year. Plans will also be perfected at this meeting and George L. Goodwin, secretary of the assembly will include in his report a recommendation that a committee be appointed to investigate the advisability of erecting a pavilion in the park, to be used as a permanent headquarters for the chautauqua. He will also recuest that the committee will visit different places where permanent Chautauqua headquarters have been established and inspect the buildings. NO LIFE ON THE MOON. The Proof We Have That Oar Nearest Xelichbor Is I'nlnhnbii cd. The moon being much the nearest to us of all the heavenly bodies, we can pronounce mere definitely in its case than in any other. We know that neither air nor water exists on the moon in quantities sufficient to be perceived by the most delicate tests at our command. It is certain that the moon's atmosphere, if any exists, is less than the thousandth part of the density of that around us. The vacuum is greater than any ordinary air pump is capable of producing. We can hardly suppose that so small a quantity of air could be of any benefit whatever in sustaining life. An animal that could get along on so little could get along on none at all. But the proof of the absence of life Is yet stronger when we consider the results of actual telescopic observation. An object such as an ordinary city block could be detected on the moon. If anything like vegetation were present on it surface, we should see the changes which it would undergo in the course of a month, during one portion of which it would be exposed to the rays of the unclouded sun and during another to the intense cold of space.

3 12 Scene from "A Daughter of the People" Company POSTOFFICE MAKES APPEAL TO PUBLIC Ask Rural Route Residents To Have Post Boxes Painted White. KEEP SUPPLY OF STAMPS AND IF THERE IS A BAD PLACE ON THE ROAD, TAKE A LITTLE TIME AND PUT THE HIGHWAY IN GOOD CONDITION. Patrons of the Richmond post office who live on the rural routes have received notices from Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier, requesting them to paint their rural boxes white. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General P. V. Degraw, had requested Mr. Spekenhier to notify his patrons of the government's request. The notices will be of interest to rural roe patrons in general and are as follows: Spekenhier's Letter. To the Patrons of Richmond Rural Routes: The United States government expends nearly $000 to maintain your rural route. This is all that is required of patrons to whom this service is given: The proper erection of an approved mail box; sufficient patronage to enable the carrier to count S.OOO pieces per month. You, the patron, can do some things that will vastly improve the route and cost you very little. See that your box is erected breasthigh, measuring from the buggy track. This is the most convenient height for the carrier to serve. v Let the box be kept in good condition, sightly and weatherproof. Bad boxes are eyesores on a route. They are hard to serve. Please paint. the post white. Use the lock as little as possible. Boxes are seldom molested, for the United States government punishes severely those who molest mail boxes in any way. Time is an object with the carrier and the quicker he serves your box the better schedule he can maintain. Place a box in the mail box to hold pennies and save carrier time. A snuff box or potted meat box will do. This will be a great favor. Whenever possible, keep stamps on hand. Have your letters stamped when the carrier arrives. Better still, buy stamped envelopes with the return card. They are cheaper, better and safer. No lost letters when you use return card stamped envelopes. Register important mail matter. Get money order applications from the carrier, keep a few on hand. Meet him with the application filed out when you send off money. Cost of order is printed on back of application. If there Is a bad place in the road near your box, please take a little time and fix it It will help a lot and your neighbors will see what you do and do it, too. Then we will all be helped the carrier particularly. The better the road the better the service. Women aid Pins. It seemed as if it would take a whole paper of pins to mend that torn dress. The wearer appealed to her car neighbor. , "Have you any pins?" she asked. The woman had none, but passed the query on, and in a little while every passenger was feeling along concealed edges and turning back lapels. At last sixteen pins were produced. Fourteen of them were contributed by men. "We never need them as much as the women, bat somehow we carry them and they don't," said one of the latter. New York Post Early RaHroadlaa-.

Two large towers have been erected by English and Brothers, contractors in charge of the construction of the new high school building. The larger of the two. which is about a hundred feet high.

The tower is equipped with an elevator and instead of hauling the concrete to- different parts of the building in wheel bar rows. It will be elevated and distributed to different parts of the building by means of the shutes. The other tower, which is about 60 feet high, is located in the center of the building. It is equipped with distributing shutes. It is used for transporting the plaster and mortar to different parts of the building. An Exnens Saver. The contractors say that by the means of these two towers they can save the expense of twenty-five wheel barrow men. As the concrete and mortar passes down the shute, it is thoroughly mixed. It is often the case that machine mixed mortar delivered in wheel barrows is filled with air holes. If these form In the foundation, it renders the foundation unstable and often causes serious damage. The Stone Tree. There is a tree which grows in Mex ico called the "chijol," or stone tree. It is of enormous proportions, both in cir cumference and height. It has a num ber of branches spreading out widely and carrying leaves of a yellowish green color. The wood is extremely fine and easily worked in a green state. It is not given to either warping or splitting.
