RAINS DELAY THE FLIGHT OF ATWOOD Young Aviator Will Not ' Leave Cleveland for East ! Until Late Hour. (National News Association) . CLEVELAND. Ohio, Aug. 18. Rains early today, followed by high winds, compelled aviator Atwood to postpone the resumption of his eastward flight until this afternoon, when he expected to make a ninety-five mile trip to Erie, where he will remain over night. At noon weather conditions were rapidly Improving. , At one o'clock Atwood said that he would again delay his start, this time to 3 p. m. ' Atwood is annoyed at the slow progress he Is making. He believes that his daily Jaunts should be of longer duration and that he should cut out some of the stopping places and get to New Ybrlc as rapidly as possible. , Whether he will do this was not announced, but it is believed he will leave one or two places out of the Itinerary. "Conditions have .been ideal," he said, "and I should have taken better advantage of them." The young blrdman gave' a novel explanation of aeroplane disasters to4ay when he declared that he believed several aviators lost their lives because they sneezed. ' ; "I sneezed once on the trip yesterday and although I was terribly careful. I can see how an aviator might lose control of his machine and proba bly Kin mmseif by sneezing. The sua- ' den Jar ' would cause a momentary toss of control, but that is enough to eause almost any kind of an accident believe me, I do not want to sneeze gain."

STUART A FEATURE Of the Chautauqua Here This Month.

One of the features of the Richmond Chautauqua will be George R. Stuart. George R- Stuart, one of the most popular lecturers and Chautauqua speakers that ever appeared before an audience In this country has laid plans for a gigantic enterprise in his home state of Tennessee. He is a Chau tauqua enthusiast and has conceived the idea of giving to the people of his home state an association surpassing even that at Winona, Indiana, and the mother Chautauqua at Chautauqua, New York. He is the promoter of a company which has purchased three thousand acres of land in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee, well supplied with lakes and running water, to which a railroad line is to be run. It is expected that It will take three years to bring the association up to its best height. The climate is much better than in other places, for the breezes keep the mountains cool, and delightful.- There will be good camping facilities and the lectures and entertainments will be unsurpassed. There are to be study courses In the Bible in addition to the regular Chautauqua courses. Mr. , Stuart is thoroughly prepared to carry out such a plan as this for he has been engaged in Chautauqua work for years. He appeared at the local Chautauqua four or five years ago and again last year, and the management was so well pleased with his lecture that they engaged him again this year. He will appear Monday night and his subject will not be "The Stumpdigger" as announced, but "Is Fun Divine or Devilish?" He is working on a new lecture entitled "Dogs." Anyone who Is at all acquainted with Mr. Stuart knows that on such a subject he will produce something worth hearing. He did not wish to give that lecture this year for it is not quite perfected, but the one he is booked for is great, and has the praise of Rev. Frank Gunsaulus, Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman and Rev. Sam Jones. The citizens- of Richmond are indeed fortunate to secure Mr. Stuart for this year. SERVED SINCE 1868 IN AMERICAN NAVY (National News Association) WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder, a conspicuous figure in the navy, was placed on the retired list today on account of age.

ASK TESTIMONY. OF WATER WORKS MEN Y. M. B. C. Committee Suggests This Action to the City Council Today. The special committee appointed by

the Young Men's Business club to investigate the water works situation has drafted the following resolution which will be presented to the city council at its next meeting: Gentlemen: The committee appointed by the Young Men's Business club on the water works matter, believe that before any further negotiations are carried on with either of the bidding compan ies, your honorable body should ask and demand that the representatives of the Richmond City Water Works appear and testify under oath as to the organization, construction, capitalization, amount of money actually in vested, return to date and answer any other questions that will assist in determining the valuation of the present water works plant. The right to such action was granted the council by an act by the 1909 legislature (H 577 Approved March 8, 1909, Section 3) and we believe the exercising of the powers therein granted should be the first step in further negotiations with either of the bidding companies. We believe that as soon as the exact valuation of the plant is determined, it will be a simple matter to adjust the rates and form a contract that will be fair to the city and at the same time furnish a reasonable return on the actual amount of money invested by the stockholders. Respectfully submitted, Albert Bavls, W. E. Russell, E. H. Harris, Chairman. FOR SALE. A new 5 room house; can be bought for a small down payment, balance monthly.

It is probable he will be transferred to the county jail to await committment to Eastern Indiana hospital. For several years he has been tending bar in this city. About two years ago he was in the hospital at Easthaven where he was treated for a mental disorder, but discharged after a short confinement as cured.

E30Y-l7lA I E3tn DlMttM In the summer people of all ages are very subject to "running of the bowels." Germs get into the food or water, find their way into the intestines and keep irritating them so that there is a constant desire to have movement. It is very USE weakening, destroys appetite, disturbs sleep mymm OAI niilCI I C an produces an itchv feeling that many sup- . , irJiJ pose to be piles. There are many "quick SYRUP PEPSlIe cures" for this aggravated form of dysentery, but they usually contain a narcotic, and that is dangerous. Others try salts and laxative waters, but they have no permanent effects. It takes a remedy with ingredients such as are combined in Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin to drive out the trouble-causing germs, to clean out the intestines, to strengthen the stomach and enliven the liver. Ordinary remedies cannot do this, but it is a well known fact that Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin does do it. Thousands use it every summer for this very purpose. Go to your druggist today and buy a 50 cent or $1.00 bottle and see what if will da for you. It is guaranteed to do what we claim or money refunded. It has enabled thousands of families to cure themselves of simple ailments. If you have never tried it send your address for a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE to DR. W. B.

A POWERFUL ENGINE Now Being Used . by the Pennsylvania Railroad.

(Palladium Special) PITTSBURG, Aug., 18. Comparisonbetween the largest passenger locomotives built for the Pennsylvania railroad and the oldest locomotive In America shows the progress made since the first railroad train was put into service at BoTdentown," N. J., on the Camden and Amboy railroad in 1831 eighty years ago. The oldest locomotive "John Bull" is still intact at the National museum in Washington. The locomotive which the Pennsylvania railroad has adopted for heavy passenger service is of the Pacific type, and it is the most powerful passenger locomotive In use on the Pennsylvania railroad. . , i . The locomotive and tender of the new Pacific type, or "K-2" as it is called when loaded with coal and water weigh about 430,000 pounds. The "John Bull," loaded for operation weighs 24,625 pounds, about one seventeenth as much as the new engine, which has six driving wheels 80-inches in diameter. The driving wheels of the old engine are only 54-inches in diameter. The boiler of the new "K-2" type locomotive contains 359 tubes, each 20.9 feet long, making a total of nearly a mile and a half of 24 inch tubes through which the flames and heat from the fire box pass on their way to the stack.- The heating surface of the tubes is 4420.6 square feet and, in addition, the fire box has a heating surface of 199.3 square feet. This space is heated to a high temperature to convert the water in the boiler to steam at a pressure of 205 pounds per square inch. The tubes in the "John Bull" are Hi feet long and the tube heating surface is only 213 square feet. With this new locomotive, the Pennslvania expects to handle its through passenger trains most satis factorily to the public and more econ omically to itself.

She said that upon their marriage on March 30 at Covington they Returned to Richmond to live. The girl is 19 years old, claims to have no relatives and is prosecuting the action as a poor person.

WRIGHTS DEMAND A

SHARE OF RECEIPTS Legal Contest to Collect Li cense Fee Will Not Stop Chicago Meet. (Xational News Association) CHICAGO, Aug. 18. The suit of the Wright brothers for a share of the proceeds of the great International avia tion meet in Chicago as a license fee for the carrying on of the meet will not stop the contests at Grant Field. Although the suit asks injunctions against the promoters from carrying on meets, no attempt will be made to interfere with the plans here. It was announced that the suit was more for the settlement of patent rights than to cause trouble. Actions may be begun against indi vidual birdmea, but this is a remote possibility. Air fans are losine their terror of falls and sudden death, caused by flying. Today hundreds of thoos who crowded the field declared that the meet was getting "tame" and that they expected a thriller or two for their money every now and then. Ap parently the two tragedies Tuesday evening only added to the attractive ness ot tne meet for the morbid. Lincoln Beachey. flyim? a Wriarht machine, easily Is the hero of th meet. He has performed a score of dare-devil feats high in the air and twice has descended from great heights with his engine out of commission. All the aviators are deluged with sweet notes from girls and women who want to meet and "go up" with them. Added to the general legal tangle of the meet almost a score of suits have been filed against the management and individual aviators on one score or another came the arrest of Jimmy" Ward, charged with abandoning hi8 wife and child. Jimmy was arrested at the conclusion of a sensational two-hour flight. "Jimmy is getting entirely too much glory,' Mrs. Ward declared. "I think it is time he supported me for a while." In five years there has been a wonderful change for the better in the operation and equipment of Chinese schools. HOME MADE BREAD Received Daily Both whole wheat and white H. G. HADLEY n OOL

Thursday Anniversary of the First Street Car. Although not observed. Thursday was the twenty-second anniversary of tbe opening of street electric railway service in this city and state. As far as Richmond is concerned it had nothing to celebrate over. On August IT, J889, the first car was run over the lines in this city and the excitement which attended the affair was almost as great as experienced by the Chinamen when, he first saw an electric ear and was moved to exclaim, "No pusbee; no pullce." John Shafer, now one of the wealthiest Chi. cago newspaper editors, was at the time superintendent of the street railway company. The horse car service had been in vogue here several years before. Wheeling, West Virginia, was the first city in the country to adopt the electric street railway service and Richmond followed in close pursuit. In fact capitalists In the larger cities watched the experiments here with a great deal of interest to ascertain the success of the undertaking. The first car which passed over the
