Atlantic City, N. J., July 12.-Clen CurtUa get an American record for a fifty-mile flight In an aeroplane yesterday by covering a half hundred measured mile in. Ave mile lapa along the beach In elapsed time of 1 hour, 14 minutes, as aeconda. Curtisa was in the air 1 hour and SO mlnuteta, and spent 1 hour and 21 minutes and 5 seconds on the course, 0 minutes and (I seconds being deducted for the turn at the two ends of the two-and-a-half mile course. Walter D rook in a, who made the world's altitude record and Frank Cof fyn, his rival, dying the Wright machine, were among those who extended their congratulations over the splendid flight. In the early evening Curtl6S set a new mark for quick climbing by sweeping his machine 1,000 feet In the air In 5 minutes and SI seconds. After a wait of hours for a slowing down of the sharp southerly wind which swept in from the ocean Curtiss rose In the air at 3:22 p. m. After a short warming up spin he swung back over the upper mark made by the range flags on a board walk building at Massachusetts avenue and started on his long flight Hindered by Wind. Owing to the cross winds, which still held strong In the upper air, Curtiss sever reached a faster speed than 50 miles an hour, his average for the race being about forty miles. The time for each of the Ave mile laps was as follows: First lap, 8:10 4-3; second lap. 8:21 2-5; third, 7:37 1-5; fourth, 7:33 4-5; fifth, 8:33 1-2; sixth, 7:30; seventh 7:27 1-2; elgth, 7.-21); ninth 7.-21 3-10; tenth, 7:21 1-5. The course laid out by the officers brought Curtiss and his flying machine within view of people from the Inlet down to Ventnor. Practically all of Atlantic City was on the board walk
or on the beach watching the flight, and Curtiss was repeatedly cheered ai he swept over the heads of the crowds especially, In the vicinity of the big pier. At the end of his flight Curtiss declared that his engine worked perfectly and added his belief that the added weight khich he was forced to carry In the emergency apparatus in case of falling Into the sea and the necessity of running partly Into the wind to keep into the course held him back at least 15 miles an hour. Brooklns May Try. Curtlss's contract ends tonight, leaving Brooklns in possession of the $5,C0O altitude priie won on Saturday evening, when he made a world's record of 5,173 feet and which will be given him today. The Wright aviator has not yet announced whether he will go after the fifty mile prize of f3,0tx which otherwise will go to Curtiss. Brooklns started up Immediately after Curtiss landed from his long flight and described sharp curves and turns ending with his first exhibition of a triple turn that almost stood his machine on end. Brooklns and Coffyn then went up todgether with Brooklns driving the biplane, getting off well after a false start, caused by a loose running rail.
Later In the day Coffyn went upi
alone giving an exhibition of turning and swooping. During his lone flight Brooklns made a 1.000 foot sweep along the beach Just over the heada of the crowd, ending by driving his machine over the breakers hardly a foot from the surf. Measurment of Curtlss's quick flight

UooTIZ
A Marvel For Sore Fact. Acts Right Off.
It Is a Curious Fact That Most of Those in the "Front Rank" Class Come from the Rural Districts.
Sore Feet? Never After Using TIZ Good-bye - sore feet, aching fee, swollen feet, sweaty feet, smeWnj; feet, tired feet. Good-bye corns, callouses and buttons and raw spots. You've never tried anything TIZ before for your feet. It is different from anything over before sold. It acts at once and makes the feet feel remarkably fresh and sore-proof. TIZ is not a powder. Powders and other foot remedies clog up the pores. TIZ draws out all poisonous exuda tions which bring on soreness of tbe feet, and is the only remedy that does, TIZ cleans out every pore and glorifies the feet your feet. You'll never limp again or draw u; your face in pain, and you'll forcer about your corns, bunions and callouses. You'll feel like a new person.
If you don't find all this true after
trying a box of TIZ, you can get your
money right back.
TIZ is for sale at all druggists at 25 cents per box, or it will be sent you direct If you wish from Walter

feat was taken from the records of the same barograph used to measure the altitude reached by Brooklns ou
Saturday. The aviator started close
to the ocean pier and his turns were so
sharp and quick that his entire flight
was confined to the space between his
starting point and the million dollar
pier.
BUILT ELECTRIC LINF
Fred Lincoln, Killed in Philadelphia Yesterday, Constructed the Local System.
MARRIED A RICHMOND GIRL
Fred Lincoln, who built the electric
street railway system in this city, was
accidentally killed yesterday when be attempted to board a moving train at
Philadelphia which has been his home for the past 17 years. He lived in this city until about twenty years ago
when he went to Toledo for a few
years and then to Philadelphia, where
he became president of the street railway system, afterwards engaging in the manufacture of street cars.
Word received by local friends of
the accident did not give any details
He was a cousin of Mrs. Will Camp
bell, East Main street. Miss Gertrude Moore, of Philadelphia, who has been a guest at the Campbells, is a niece.
He was 44 years old and is survived
by his wife, formerly Miss Addle Long of this city.

BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. Washington, July 12. "Did you ever observe. remarked veteran employe of the house, "that the members ho are ranked as leaders on both
tides of the chamber hail as a rule
from what are termed country dia
rlcts? Of course not; for the reason
at when a member looms up In the ; jblic eye the people speak, of him
na of his state; not of his district.
Tint thA fart Is th mnmhai. alin la
I ?poken of as a leader, and so looked I ipon by his colleagues, represents a
'oastltuency largely composed of
j farmers. And this explains, in a meas--irr vhv thA aciHfniltnrsl olaea npr.
illy get the legislation they demand. "Now, there is Speaker Cannon. He
is the republican leader and for years
hze held a front rank position in the (louse. He comes from a country dis
trict. Then there is Mr. Payne of New York. His district is largely agricultural. He Is the republican floor
leader, and has held that responsible
position ever since the death of Mr.
Dingley of Maine. Next to Mr. Payne
In point of Influence, comes Mr. Taw
aey of Minnesota, and Mr. Smith of
Iowa. Farmers constitute the major
ity of their constituents, and it is the
farmers votes that keep them in the
house. Even Mr. Dalzell of Pennsyl
vania, while he comes from the great
busy city ot Pittsburg, part of his dis
trlct is agricultural, and it is in this
part of his district where the opposl tion to him is strongest.
"On the democratic side of the house you will find by glancing over the congressional directory, that minority leader Clark, of Missouri represents for the most part farmers. They keep him in the house because he knows what they want and knows just how
to get it. t Then there is Mr. Under
wood of Alabama. He represents the Birmingham district which contains
many craftsmen, but it's the men who
till the soil who keep him there. Mr,
Burleson of Texas, and Mr. Clayton of Alabama, who take prominent parts in the proceedings, belong, to country districts and .they have made good as
the record shows.
Now and then a member from a city district will be kept in the house until he quits of his own accord. And it
is but fair to say that in such in
stances the member from the city makes good in his leadership. The late Speaker Randall of Pennsylvania
and Representative Bingham of Penn
sylvania, is another of this class. He Is the father of the house by reason of
hia long continued service, and up to
within the last few years he took a mosf prominent part in the house pro
ceedings. If the cities kept their rep-.
resentativea as do the farmers the city
folks would fare better in the matter
of legislation. An official of the United States su
preme court, talking to a party of his friends on the subject of the recent
railroad legislation, made this observ
ation.
"It is a mistaken Idea to suppose that congress does not respond to the
desires of the people for laws to cor
rect abuses which exist in the mind3 of the voters. A close study of .the
statutes will show anyone that con
gress has never hesitated to pass laws
So far as the laws being constitutional
were concerned, the law makers never
lost any sleep on that account They
wanted to make a record that would meet the approval of their constituents; the court could pass on the con
stitutionality of the law.
That is what you will witness with
the railroad law before many moons. Questions as intricate as railroad control by the government should not be rushed through congress, but should
hA considered in all its phases. But
the desire to hurry up and get through the public business precludes the consideration that such an important measure should receive, and hence it follows that the courts will soon be called upon to pass judgment on the
rwork of congress. You will find this
true of nearly every important law enacted by congress during the past 20 years. The most .notable case, you will admit is the Sherman anti-trust law and its application to labor unions."
Please don't forget to bring home some end I'll have a good hug and kiss for you.

Congress proved to be rather liberal in the matter of public buildings for various sections of the country and authorized an expenditure of something like S25.000.000, but if the mem
bers who were successful in having
their little bills included in the omnibus public building understood the facta, they would soon get busy ex-
Dlalning to their constituents the con
ditions in the treasury department, ii may be interesting to know that out of the many public building bills that
nassed the house and senate during
the 69th and 60th congresses some 200
have as yet remained untouched: in
the office of the supervising architect,
in the treasury department. In the last annual report of the supervising architect issued last fall, the statement 'was made that at that time there were 263 public buildings annrooriated for, waiting their turn.
The delay in many cases in beginning
the work on plans and specincaxions Is due to the local fights in agreeing n a site for the building. The question of a site for a federal building often causes more work for the secretary of the treasury than does a bond Issue. Members who understand the slow action of the supervising architect in the matter of public buildings avail themselves of It by telling the people of their towns that next year thev will get an Increase In the ap
propriation with authority for a larger building. There is truth in this, as the bill which President Taft signed
the day before adjournment, contain
ed many authorizations for Increases
in the appropriations made tor ouuaings In the last congress.
"The member who will draw up a bill covering every pension case will
prove himself a benefactor, not alone
to the old soldier, but to
said Representative Martin of Colorado in discussing pension legislation. There are Quite a few old soldiers in my district and not a week goes by but I receive letters asking for pension legislation. Some of the members are so busy looking up pension matters that they have little time for anything else. Of the 27,000 bills and resolutions introduced In the house in the session just closed at least 90 per cent of them dealt with pension cases. I have not examined the statute books lately, but I am told by the older members that there are more laws relating to pensions than any other Bubject and yet it seems that of all the laws cases arise that require special acts of congress to mete out just treatment to some old soldier ready to 'beat out his last tattoo. The singular part of it is the number of private pension bills introduced in congress at this late date exceed by many thousands the bills introduced a few years after, the civil war. The member who wilj frame a general law covering all the cases we are now asked to consider will certainly make a name that will endure.

Musical Treat at the Murray. The man who arranged the great musical act, "Ye Colonial ' Septette" this week at the Murray, nrust have taken his time to find seven such people who combine dramatic abilities with finished musical inclinations. The whole production is novel and eminently artistic in conception . and staged in a manner worthy of the best scenic productions on the legitimate stage The action takes place in America before the revolution and the scenes are laid in a colonial mansion of the olden days. In the first scene is shown a baronial hallway. Two heralds enter who sound the fanfare on trumpets, upon which the butler steps out and announces that Mistress Priscilia will speak the prologue, in which she asks the spectators to imagine themselves at a Hallowe'en party in the old mansion. Scene two shows the exterior of the mansion, the guests arriving singing snatches of old time songs. The cavalier who arrives last, on reaching the postern sounds a call on the horn and the lights at the mansion are at once extinguished. In

the third scene is seen the Interior ol the mansion, the guests arriving, the minuet followed by a medley played by a string quintet formed by ths guests. Ad old time lore ballad is sun; by one of the men. the ladle joining in the harmonic effects on French horns. This is followed by a splendid cornet solo. The butler causes a diversion with the solo, "drinking" on" an enormous deep bass horn. Immediately following comes a big ensemble musical number by the full septette on brass instruments. A rousing march on the triumphal trumpets is both novel and beautiful. The other feature acts on the big bill this week are fine and together a wonderful excellent bill is presented for the patrons of Richmond's most beautiful playhouse.

"Is it intelligence or is it an inherited habit, as John Burroughs says, tnat induces the bears In the soo to carry their bread to the pool of water?" said an observing woman. "No matter by what name you describe bruin's mental state it is Interesting to watch him with a loaf of bread. He knows that it is dry eating, so he carries it in his mouth . to the pool and drops it in to soak. The gristly will take two or three loaves and put them in the water and then Jump in- him self and eat them. The big Kadlak bear throws fh several loaves and then goes fishing for them. The bears often fight for a piece ot meat, but rarely for bread." New York Sun.
