Paulhan sailed at an altitudo of GOO to 1,000 foot over Rodondo beach, Vonico-by-tho-Sea and othor resorts, towards Point Flrmin. There wore no life buoys tlod to tho machine to savo them from death In .tho waves should they fall. Ho made his trip and othor portions flights this aftornoon, with tho easo of a run in a taxicab." Tho ono hundred and third anni vorsary of the birth of General Robert E. Leo was celebrated throughout tho south January 19. Roberts, Hall & Criss, of Now York and Cincinnati, woro forced to suspend as mombors of tho New York stock oxchango following tho two failures brought about by tho collapso of tho Columbus & Hocking coal and iron pool.

Now York dispatches say that tho ftugar trust has agreed to pay to tho government $050,000 on account of the sugar frauds. An Associated Press dispatch from I St. Louis JanuaTy 21, says: "Mis- l wrarl Pacific train No. 8, due in St Louis at 10:40 o'clock from Kansas ( City, was held up and robbed by E .masked men at 9:45 o'clock to night, one mile east of Eureka, thirty miles from St. Louis.

Thomas Taggart, national demo cratic committeeman from Indiana, was accidentally shot while hunting in Mississippi. Ho may lose the sight of an eye. Forty-eight pcoplo wero killed in a Canadian Pacific railroad wreck near Espanola, Mich., January 21. Fifteen men wore' killed by a pre mature explosion of ' nitro-glycerino in a tunnel, which is to form part of tho great aqueduct, which will carry water from tho Ashkokan dam, in tho Catskills to Now York. Fivo woro terribly mutilated, but were so near tho mouth of the tunnel that they woro rescued alive. The other fifteen woro found beneath a mass of rock and debris, literally ham mered by tho force of the explosion into a bleeding mass of heads, limbs and torsos. It is believed that one of tho workmen carrying a torch tripped and foil, igniting a fuse and sotting off a series of charges of nltro-glycerine. Tho organized movement to cut meat prices by abandoning meat eat ing, beginning at Cleveland, Ohio, spread to Pittsburg, Providence, R. I., Indianapolis, Milwaukee, St. Joo, Mo., and many other 'cities. In Baltimore they are wearing buttons bearing tho inscription "I don't buy meat, do you?" A Chicago dispatch carried by tho Associated Press says: "John Rorty, whoso death in the county hospital was caused by tho administration of stovalno, according to a previous statement made by the coroner's physician, Dr. Hunter, 'died from anaesthania.' This was the verdict of tho county jury today and stovaine was not mentioned. Shortly after tho death of Rorty, Dr. Hunter said ho believed the death was caused by stovaine." r An m ociated Press cablegram from Tokio says: "Tho reply of the Japanese government to the United States proposal for the neutraliza tion of tho Manchurian railway was n? ? Amoricm Amhassador O Drier i this afternoon. It is a polite declination. No intimation of tho contents of the memorandum of re- S, ieni ,but the best forma tion obtainable indicates that the communication is brief and that tho declination to accept tho neutraliza tion proposition is based on several grounds, the chief of which aTe: The American plan would bo of no ad vantage to Japan; it would afford no &Sta5f t0 ChIna' would not m'b, , a "nerciai situation in Manchuria, where Japan is adhering strictly to its pledges of an open dqof and equal opportunity. It is under stood that tho repl is couched In terms of friendly appreciation of the American purpose, but it is not of an argumentative character, and its conclusions are not qualified." W Bia has adopted the same course. An Associated Press cable from London, January 20? fonfw? 'Tht? stat?s of the parties, according to the returns received up to date in the erniornl QTrnt, i u"t.G lows: Unionists 163, liberals ii?t I laborites 29, nationalists 53. Gains, unionists 71, liberals 10, laborites 1. The returns received during the day from sixty-eight seats, of which fifty six wero polled Wednesday and twelve Thursday, show tho following results: Unionists 34, liberals 18, laborites 7, nationalists 9; gains, unionists 15. Thirteen of the unionist gains were in county seats, ono in Scotland and ono in Wales. If the unionists gain twenty-two of the 168 remaining seats the govern ment will be dependent upon the votes of the nationalists to legislate. Elections woro held today for forty soven seats," one In London, three in English provincial boroughs, twenty six in English counties, eight in Scot land, three in Wales and six in Ire land. Reports from only twelve of these were received. Old-fashioned English country people, With their rock-ribbed conservatism, their rev erence for the nobility and their prejudices against the new-fashioned socialism were heard from today and they gave a decided boom to the con servative stock. Tonight the union ists everywhere have taken cheer. The liberal government will return to power with a less convincing man date for its policies from the country than it counted upon, if the present tendency, prevails among the re mainder of the voters tho next few days. Its allies, tho laborites and nationalists will practically hold the balance of power, and the Irish party particularly will be in a position to dictate legislation. The proposal to reform the house of lords counted strongly among the country people, perhaps more strongly than did tariff reform. Respect for the old institu tions and the forms of government is more deeply rooted there than in the cities, with their labor unions, following the socialistic innovations, which are regarded with suspicion. Scotland and Wales, where non-conformists abound, stand by the liberal party." The Oklahoma legislature met in special session January 20 and lis tened to Governor Haskell's message asking appropriations for state insti tutions and executive departments aggregating $1,000,000. Ahout thirty hills will prohably he intro duced to carry ou.t the governor's recommendations. An election bill will be introduced to take tho place of the Taylor election law, which is now subject to a referendum. Members of the brotherhoods of railway conductors and trainmen have asked for increase in wages on account of high prices. They have been told that the increase .will not be granted.

The Way to Cure All Skin Diseases Tho Prescription is Simple: Purify tho Blood by Using Stuart's" .Cal cium Wafers and the , Rest is Easy If neonlfi onlv rfijiHzori Mia nftor absurdity of attempting to cure a liiuiijijr, vivivuy, uusiguuy complex ion by means of the many irrational and illogical methods employed in "beauty parlors," and also in the boudoir, thousands of dollars which are wasted every" year literally thrown away would be savod, and the complexion rendered clear and free from blemishes through consti tutional treatment, at about one tenth of one per cent of the cost of the "fancy" and exceedingly expen sive local "treatments. The idea of massaging the cheeks, and attempting to rub in a so-called "skin-food," is the height of non sense. Nature never intended the skin to be fed from the outside, but from the inside exclusively, and it is the blood which really feeds the skin, builds it up, and supplies it with, nutriment absorbed from the diges tive system. There is really no such thing as a "skin-food," any more than there is a, "heatf-frod," A& "lung-food," of a "brain-food." d The skin is a Water-proof, air proof envelope over the muscular system, and it has no power to ab sorb cold creams, or any other medi caments when rubbad over its sur face. While, of course, steaming tho face, or massaging with electricity' or by hand, will draw the blood tem porarily to the surface and produce an artificial glow, which may last half an hour or so, but such treat ment brings no lasting benefit, and will never cure wrinkles, pimples Psblackheads, or other facial th0Be0Si!feSi th freent treatment of the skin in the way which "beauty doctors" have those kneading, rub bing, "cooking" methods, making tho SSfJ0,'6 time being as red as a boiled lobster, also have the very un- "" desirable effect of increasing and chreeenkgshenlDg thG hairwthgon tSe The only logical treatment in ac quiring and maintaining a perfect complexion, devoid of all blemishes such as blotches, pimples, roughness' chapping, scaly patches, etc is tn go after these troubles from the in sideto strike at the fdundatinn the origin of the complaints -and that means, in other words, to thor- 2m??& purlfy the blod, by u?in STUART'S CALCIUM WAFERS These powerful little wafers as soon as taken into the system exert their wonderful, blood-purifyinf Sj " fects, and they never let un for a moment until every atom of lmpUr ty in the blood is eliminated anS in addition to that, they also bund up the blood, and strengthen the c culation through the skin's surface SSL8 ?ender Inkles and skin blemishes impossible of existence Secure a 50c box at once from your druggist, and send us you? name and address for free eaiSS Address F.
