Tl was on Aug. 1, 1707. that the Scotchman Hlack of Edinburgh filled little bag with hydrogen gas and watched It rise to the celling of his room, and it was right then and there that the science of aeronautics wa born. Cavendish bad only a little while before proved that hydrogen gas rwas about eleven times lighter than 1 common air, and It occurred, to Black that, such be!ng the case, a light bng Inflated with It would ascend. The experiment In his room In Edinburgh showed that bis surmise was correct. It was not long after Black miule his demonstration that Montgolfler eat a silken balloon up Into the benv ns and watched it careening through pace, and the following year, 17ST, the Montgoltlers Joseph and Stephen made a successful ascent in a bal loon. The same year Charles ascend ed In a hydrogen balloon to the height of 0,770 feet. Ballooning was a sue cess, and in an amazingly short tinii It. became popular In all lands.-New lYork American. I Tennyson's Carelessness. j Tennyson, like Thackeray, seems t jhSTe been careless about his umnu iscripts. Some weeks after leaving hi I lodgings in Mornington place, Ilarap istead. he wrote to Coventry Patmon from the Isle of Wizht telling him tlin he conld not find a "book of elegiesi long, butcher ledgor-like book." and 'that ho bad some obscure remembrance of lending It to Patmore. "If so," lif concluded, "all Is well; if not, will you iCO to my old chambers and Institute p (Vigorous inquiry?" Patmore, not hav jlng the book, went to Mornington IPlace, but was assured by the landlady 'that no such article had been left there. He Insisted, however, on going to his friend's old rooms, "up two pair of stairs," to search, and there In a small cupboard where Tennyson bad kept 'bread and tea and butter he found the 'lost "book of elegies" the manuscript "In Memoriam." London Spctator. l A Post Who Dreaded Firs. Thomas Gray, author of the "Elegy," fluid a weakness In the form of a nerv ous dread of Are. Ills chamber at St Peter's college, Cambridge, being on the second floor, he thought It likely that In case of a fire his exit by the eta Irs might be cut off. lie therefore caused an iron bar to be fixed by arinx projecting from the outside of his win dow, designing by a rope attached thereto to descend In the event of o fire occurring. This excessive cautiou led to a practical Joke by his fellows. One midnight a party of students thundered at his door with loud crfes of , "Fire, fire!" The nervous poet flew to bis window and slid down thf rope to the ground, where he was hail ed with shouts of laughter. The win dow, with Its Iron apparatus, is stir, shown. It Is said. Gray's delicate nature was so shocked by this rough joki that he changed his lodgings. The Modest Paehmann. Asked . If he fouud European or "American audiences more agreeable to play to. Mr. Pacbmaun replied: "I am especially fond of English audiences. American ones are perhaps more receptive and warmer la feeling. English audiences are often cold, but they are never cold when I piny. Uow they lore and adore me! Too should see and hear them. Whn I come on the tag It sometimes takes four or five minutes before I can begin my playing, and when I am finished they shout and cream yes. they scream comme des brsbis.'

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

At times a more cheerful tons prevailed in financial circles. The labor outlook is less threatening and present indications point to . an adjustment of Western troubles without resort to strikes or other violent methods. There is also a decided betterment in the Moroccan situation, lndustral considerations . alone rendered war between Germany and any other great power improbable. Germany is preoccupied with great internal development and has made large financial commitments in consequence. War would seriously complicate, if not impaid, these obligations; cause serious financial distress, and throw large numbers out of employment. 'It is evident that some sort of an international adjustment is close at hand, and if Germany secures certain economic advantages in Morocco, together with assurances that no other power will lay hands upon that territory she will doubtless-be satisfied, and the present controversy soon pass into history. Within the last few days advices from the West have been more cheering. Discouraging news has subsided, and indications of moderate trade revival have already begun. This, of course, is due to the harvest, which is proving more satisfactory than at one time deemed " probable. September thus far has been a month of steady Improvement for crops in nearly all sections of the country. Recent reports of the Government on cotton and other crops were certainly unreliable, because they included an ex cessive amount of bias, which should have been carefully excluded by the Government experts. It is impossible to believe that the condition of cotton declined 16 points in August and the department officials ought not to have been misWI by tho extraordinary efforts in the South to exaggerate crop damage. This campaign of deception may easily prove a boomerang, for should the farmers find they have been deceived by the not disinterested advice to hold cotton for 14c they are likely to rush their holdings into the market when they awaken to the actual facts, which means a full if not very large crop. Better reports are forthcoming con cerning the iron trade, which show ed an increase of 133,000 tons in production of pig iron during August. There may have been some irregularity In prices, but concessions have certainly stimulated orders and this of itself is encouraging. Conditions are also unusually favorable for export trade, and it Is worthy of note that in July our exports of iron and steel were valued at $18,000,000, compared with $16,000,000 a year ago. In the seven months of the current year ending July our exports of iron and steel have amounts to $144,000,000, an increase of $32,000,000 over last year. Here is a Bafety valve of no mean importance, not only to the iron and steel industry, but also to the foreign trade of the country, which needs some compensation for the possible loss in exports of agricultural products. The latter are bound to decline as the population of the country expands; hence it becomes all the more necessary that we should be able to export manufactured products in order to pay for our neces RELLER JUMPS IN PROSECUTOR RACE The Republican primary campaign was formally opened on Monday when announcement cards were sent out by W. W. Reller, a well known young attorney, who will seek the nomination for prosecuting attorney.. From now on until February, the primary likely will be one of the most discussed subjects by the voters. Entertainment In the Home. A Louisville barrister escorted his wife and daughter to a lecture and then to his wife's intense annoyance disappeared. He was on hand, however, when the meeting was over. "Hello, there, Theodore," said a friend, meeting the barrister and hif "BKKW TO THTS X.EOTPBE?' family in the street car. "Been to th lecture?" The lawyer stole a sidelon; look at his wife's face. "No," be answered In a subdue stage whisper. "I'm just going to it.' Success Magazine. In the Match Lino. 'SVhen Edwin Gould took up th manufacture of matches seven years ago," said a New York banker, "hU friends were a good deal amused, ami many a joke was cracked at Mr Gould's expense. "I remember one June day at an open air luncheon at Tuxedo a superb four-in-hand dashed around a turn of the road, and we all looked up from our strawberries to admire it.

sary importations and to preserve our balance of trade. With the adjournment of Congress there is a welcome cessation of the, agitations and investigations which have so long harrassed the business world. Congress will not reassemble for another three months, during which period we shall have a rest from useless and Irritating political meddling. There are signs of reaction in the latter respect. Politicians in some sections of the country are awakening to the fact that the driving of capital into hiding by persistent attacks throttles enterprise and thus augments trade depression and the number of unemployed. Capital is necessary to the quickening of industry, and it would not be surprising if some of the states took the lead in moderating present unduly repressive legislation, especially in the South and far west. When congress opens there will of course be much talk about the tariff. The fact that it is the best available political asset makes that discussion inevitable. It is not likely, however, that there will be any serious readjustment of the tariff until after the next Presidential election. In all probability the tariff will be the burning issue in the coming gubernatorial campaign. There will be much talk and little action. The change of sentiment on the Stock Exchange was possibly somewhat accentuated by covering of a

rather extended short interest. Prices had shown a very heavy decline, from 10 to 20 points, and it was apparent that this shrinkage' discounted all known drawbacks. In addition there was a feeling that pessimism had been overdone and that at least a moderate reaction was fully due. Such views had been expressed in these advices for the past two or three weeks and recent events proved the accuracy of these conclusions. The market is still two-sided and favorable to moderate fluctuations In either direction. On every decline there have been conspicuous buying, especially of the better class of stocks, which are being quietly absorbed by shrewd inveestors on every concession. In August the amount of new capital issues was only a little over $51,000,000, against $63,000,000 last year and the $83,000,000 a year ago. It was the lightest August in this respect for many years and shows a welcome conservatism in the output of new issues, which had undoubtedly been so heavy as to temporarily induce congestion in the security markets. Another favorable indication was the starting of many cotton mills throughout New England. These had been shut down owing to the high price of cotton and the shrinkage in demand. The latter has lately been stimulated by price concessions, and the outlook for cheaper cotton than last year affords much needed encouragement to the manufacturer. New York is not the only place that is undergoing a change of sentiment. London, Paris and Berlin have also become rather more cheerful, mainly because of a change for the better in the Moroccan situation, but also from a belief that known drawbacks have been fuly discounted and that pessimism was being overdone.

GRAND JURY WILL SEEK TO DISCOVER BLIND TIGER DENS

Judge Fox in His Instructions to Jury Today Tells That Body to Hunt for Any Law Violations. (Continued from Pago One.) a license is obtained. But as the law now stands, townships and incorporated cities, acting as units, may by remonstrance or popular vote prohibit the granting of licenses to those who desire to engage in the liquor traffic. When this is done there can be no lawful retailing of intoxicating liquors within the limits of the territory where such prohibition is thus established, and any person who does so is a criminal and subject to sever penalties. Should Be Punished. "The theory of our government is that the majority governs. When a majority of the voters of an incorporated city, or of a township, by remonstrance or popular vote, decide that the sale of intoxicating liquors shall not be licensed in such city or township, there is an expression of the popular will that moulds the law. Of this all persons must take notice. If a person disregarding the law thus established and promulgated sells intoxicating liquors where it is thus forbid den, his offense is out of the ordinary. for in so doing he offends the community "and defies the public conscience, and if he is indicted, appre hended and convicted, he should be relentlessly punished. 'AH good citizens should co-operate in an effort tp punish those who en gage in the unlawful selling of intoxicating liquors. But here we are con fronted with the fact, that good citizens do not engage in the illicit sale or purchase of liquor, and so have no personal knowledge of such transaction. For this reason they can give no competent testimony against those who violated. Those who have such knowledge belong to a different class; a class composed of lawless and conscienceless persons, who, as a rule will unhesitatingly commit perjury in order to shield each other, and in so doing they commit a felony in order to conceal a misdemeanor for which they ought to be indicted and sent to the penitentiary. This, however, should not deter a grand jury from making a searching investigation in' cases where complaint is made."

WANT OPENING OF HOBTH FOURTH ST, Petition Was Presented to Board Today With Estimate of Damages. ... On petition of thirty-six businses men and property owners, in the - vicinity of the C. & 0.v depot, the board of public works on Monday morning took under advisement the matter of opening North Fourth street from Main to A streets. The petitioners affirm it as their belief that the seven properties which would have to be condemned could be awarded a total of f9,700 damages, although city officialdom is inclined to regard the estimate as rather low. However, the board will give the matter every consideration as it Is recognized by all, and particularly by the business men, that only by the opening of the street can the two steep grades be avoided in going to and from the C. & O: depot to the Main street business district. These

steep grades are the Main street hill and the even steeper grade on North A street from , Fourth to Fifth, but if j Fourth street is extended on from A to Main it will be but a gradual grade and will permit the hauling of heavier loads as well as expedite traffic. This proposition has been under consideration for many years, but not until recently, when the business in the vicinity of the C. & O. depot and the hauling to and from t he Pennsylvania freight depot has increased so greatly, has the expediency of opening the street been so generally agitated. Shippers are anxious that the street be opened because it will be a great aid to their business. Property owners in the vicinity are likewise anxious that it be done because it will mean greater property values. Estimate of Damages. The petition for the opening of the street was filed with city clerk Baltz Bescher on Saturday and presented by him to the board on Monday mornpresent, they allowing their petition to stand for itself. Supplementary to the ordinary petition blank, they filed an estimate of the damages which would have been awarded. These are as follows: Walter Coale, house and lot $1,000; Henry Ford, house and lot, $1,000; Jane Miller, part of lot, $300; D. P. Grave, lot and barn, 300; Sol Dickinson lot and barn, $500; Charles Estell, house and lot, $500; Marion Menke, house and lot, $1,200; E. C. Dickinson, house and kt, $1,200; Thistlethwaite block, $1,500. The total estimate of damages which would have to be awarded is $9,700. In order that different bids submitted by the A. Harsh Coal and Supply company for the furnishing of 10,000 tons, more or less, of coal for the municipal light plant for the fiscal year, dating from Sept 1, might be considered, the coal contract for the light plant was not finally passed '' upon. There were three bidders, Mather Bros., and Bullerdick and Sons submitting higher , bids than Harsh. Council to Meet. Mayor Zimmerman announced to the board there would be a special meeting of council this evening.- The city budget and the tax rate for 1912 will be the more important matters considered. It is also probable that an ordinance will be considered on first reading to bolster up the police department pay. roll, by taking $60 from the fund for, repair of bridges and $600 from the fund of the road roller. It is also probable that $21.20 will be transferred from the municipal league fund to the fund for office ex penses of the city controller. Palladium Want Ads Pay.

ORDERS ARE GIVEN TRACTION COMPANY

By City to. Lay Tracks on National Road County Plans Compromise. Decisive action was taken by the board of public works on- Monday morning when it issued orders that the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company should procoed without delay to lay its tracks in the middle of the National Road, from West Firm street 1 to the west city limits. For nearly six weeks the road, which is being improved for about two and half miles in the township, under the provisions of the three mile gravel road law, has been in such condition that the company could lay its tracks. However, the company took no action and to all r.ppearances has purposely delayed the work, the board of works believes. The roadway cannot be improved by Contractor Cronin until the street car tracks are located, so the board took decisive action in ordering the work done immediately. If not done at once the street will be impassable, until next spring, which condition the administration wishes to avoid. Superintendent Gordon of the street railway company and also his super iors at Indianapolis will be Informed of the orders.Unless the company com plies with the instructions the city law department will take legal action to enforce the order. At the meeting of the county com missioners this morning the traction matter was again taken up and the commissioners decided to make a trip to Indianapolis next week to see the traction officials before filing the appeal. The commissioners went into private session and consulted with their attorneys for some time but refused to give out any interview after the caucus. The commissioners are of the opinion that the Commercial Club compromise proposition, which was presented on Saturday, is too much one sided and that if a compromise is to be made they can secure a much better one than the one submitted on Saturday.
