^t^^&^$^t BALLOONIST TO BOOM SPORT IN AMERICA Noted French Aeronaut Will Sail the Air Between New York and Washington. Now York Herald Special Service New York, March 24.Count Henri de la Vaulx, the noted French aeronaut, arrived here today on the French liner Savoie. He ex Noted Aeronaut pects to make sev eral a sions Will Show while in this country and is How to Sail Air planning a bal loon trip from Denver to Washington, which he says is perfectly feasible. He thinks he could make the trip in forty hours. The count is six feet two inches in height, strong and muscular, with a heavy blond moustache and looks like a hardy Norsman. He has come to this country at the ihvitation of Augustus Post and Courtland Bishop of the Aero club to make ascensions in the interest of ballooning as a pastime. He is the holder of several world's records. In 3900 he made the longest trip ever made in a balloonfrom Paris to Kiev, Rus siacovering the 1,300 miles separating these cities in thirty-one hours. Count de la Vaulx is the only man that ever made a trip from Paris to Britain in a balloon, altho several balloonists have made trips from Britain to France. The count brought with him to America three balloons, one of which is a mon ster, called the Centaur, which has a capacity of 500,000 cubic feet of gas and can carry foity-five persons. It was in this balloon that he made his famous trip from Paris to Kiev. The other balloons, the Orient and Ludion, are comparatively small, carrying re spectively three and two persons. The count expects to make an ascension in the Orient at West Point some day within the next two weeks and an as cension later at Pittsfield. With several yards of rich lace con cealed under an automobile coat which she tried to give to a friend on the pier, Mme. Jeane Cathers, a Pari sian modiste, was detained a the French line pier today just after the Savoie was docked. Another large quantity of lace was found on her person when she was searched in her stateroom. The lace was confiscated. Mme. Cathers was ar rested after she left the pier and was later arraigned before United States Commissioner Shields. She has a place in New York. There was a dramatic scene when she threw the coat which she had been carrying over her arm to her friend as she embraced. Two cus toms inspectors approached the pair and separated them. They explained that they would like to examine the coat. The woman objected. Inspectors Donovan and Niermand insisted and in its folds they found the lace. Then a woman inspector took Mme. Cathers back to her stateroom and discovered more of the lace. According to the customs officials they have information which thev are now investigating that a gang of smugglers have been at work for months carrying expensive goods past the officials and as a result of today's arrest, others are to be made. Woman Is Caught Trying to Smuggle Lace An invitation was recently extended to Senator C. M. Depew, in behalf of the Montauk club of Brooklyn by its presi dent, Timothy L. Depew Too Sick Woodruff, to par take of the club's to Make hospitality as heretofore, on his a Dinner Speech birthday, to which Mr. Woodruff has recently received a reply from the sen ator, in which, after referring to his What Sulphur Does For the Human Body in Health and Disease. The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. It was the unversal spring and fall "blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and, mind vou, this old-fashioned rem edy was not without merit. The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur a palatable, con centrated form, so that a single grain is far more effective than a table spoonful of the crude sulphur. In recent vears research and experi ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drugstores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coated pellets and con tain the active principle of sulphur in a, highly concentrated, effective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health: sulphur acts directly on the liver, and excretory organs and purifies and en riches the blood by the prompt elimina* tion of waste material. Our grandmothers g$j3ia^ %knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and mo lasses every spring and, fail, but the crudity and impurity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare -with the modern concentrated prepara tions of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers is undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure con stipation and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike. Dr. B. M. Wilkins, while experiment ing with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says. "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when 'resulting from con stipation or malaria, I have been sur prised at the results obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have re peatedly seen them dry up and disap pear in four or five days, leavin? the skin smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers is a proprietary article and sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physi cians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin diseases as this remedy.'' At any rate people who are tired of pills, cathartics and blood "purifiers' will find inso-called Stuart' Cal cium Wafers, a far safer, more palat able and effective preparation. iauiiiffjiiii_iiii.il ii jiaii,iiift'rjX^^|W indisposition, he goes on to say: I have delayed answering your letter, hoping that this would pass away, so that your dinner would be one of the old kind, and I equal to its require ments, its hilarity and its spirit. Un happily, I am afraid that for the first time in fifteen years, the Montauk din ner is to be omitted. Of all the disa greeable things that have come to me, the first time that I have been sick in many years, this 'loss grieves me the most. With kindest regards to the Montauks and my love to you. Faith fully yours, Chauncey M. Depew.'' Perhaps Jack London, the picturesque author of "The all of-the Wild," and other stories, that show originality, is n6t aware of it, Deadly Parallel but one of his en tertaining bits of Drawn descriptive fiction strongly suggests on Jack London that the similar- ity of thought and phraseology noted in the comparisons between excerpts from his story, Love of Life," and "Lost in the Land of the Midnight Sun," by Augustus Bridle and J. K. MacDonald, is due to the tendency of great minds to run in the same channels. The deadly parallel shows similarly in manuy instances tho the language is different. GOVERNMENT TO START WORK ON SHIP CANAL Soo Water Power Company Deeds Land Necessary to Carry Out Many Pro- posed Improvements. Special to The Journal. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., March 24. An agreement has been made by which the Pandler-Dunbar Water Power com pany deeds to the government all the land necessary to widen the ship canal and for future developments planned in the interests of shipping in St. Mary's river. With these legal com plications thus disposed of, the gov ernment can begin work at once. The contract for widening the canal will be let within sixty days, probably by May 1. The sum available for the work, appropriated by the last con gress, is $1,020,000. The government is now in position to carry out all the proposed improve ments, including the building of a new lock. This will mean the expenditure in this city within the next few years of between $6,000,000 and $8,000,000, and give employment to hundreds of men. The new lock will be the largest in the world and will cost more than $6,000,000. PARMER DRIVES AWAY WITH DEAD MAN'S BODY Man Discovers Corpse Near Bachelor, N. D., and Returns with Officials to Find I Gone. Special to The Journal. Bismarck, N. D., March 24.A young man named Varty discovered the frozen body of a man lying on the ground a short distance west of Bachelor post office. The body was fae? downward, near the roadside. Varty examined the body and found it frozen stiff and ap parently lifeless. He hurried to Rolla to notify the officials, but on his re turn the body had disappeared. A search was instituted and a farmer driving a load of hay was questioned. He admitted that he had discovered the body and had put it into the load of hay, covering it up so that if there was any life left in it, it would be protected from the cold. The man was dead, how ever. He has not yet been identified. DEFENDER OF MOTHER FREED.

W, wm "ii.t^ i S ,ij^,1^,-^ .,r,'.'m at By W. W. Jermane. Washington, March 124.-Almost a million dollars, of American silver coin, mostly half dollars, quarters and dimes, is in circulation in Canada.. Until the present time, tnis subsidiary money has been welcome in that country, which had no mints of its own, and was. com-'' polled to send its gold and silver bullion to London for cpinage. But with the time drawing rapidly near when a Can adian mint will be in operation at Otta wawithin the next ten or twelve months, it is estimatedthe Canadian people are beginning to take steps to send the American money home, where it belongs. The collection of this money will be commenced this spring, and will be managed by the Canadian banks. After it has been all picked up, the money will be sent to Ottawa, from which place it will be forwarded to New York, to some correspondent of a Canadian bank, which will receive it and give credit for" it at face value to its Cana dian neighbor. The small amount that will be paid for collecting the coin in Canada will just about pay for the cost of that collection. The movement is not intended to result in large profit for anybody concerned. The new mint at Ottawa, which will be the most modern institution of its kind on this continent, will be a monu ment to Canadian spunk, brought to a head during the year of the St. Louis exposition and further intensified dur ing the exposition at Portland. Cana dians by the thousand came to both these expositions, their pockets bulging with cashof the Canadian variety, silver and paper. Strange as it appeared to these peo ple, who were the representatives of the best that Canada had in citizenship, their money did not circulate in the United States. Before they could pay even streetcar fare at St, Louis or Port land, they had to change Canadian money into American money, paying 10 per cent for the privilege. Bemembering how, at home, Ameri can money circulated freely side by side with Canadian money, these Canadian visitors made up their minds that they would set in motion, on their return home, an agitation that would give the United States a slap in the face. And so they got up the agitation for a Cana dian mint. The idea caught hold of the Canadian mind with a will, and parliament, with hardly a dissent, voted the appropria tion and work on the building, which stands on the bank of the Ottawa river, half a mile from the parliament build ings, was begun. It is now housed in, and will bo ready for the machinery by the middle of summer. By late* jfall, or early winter, it is hoped to have the mint in active operation, and then it will be good-bye to American money of all kinds in Canada. Officials of the United States treas ury department in this city say they have been advised unofficially of the situation, and that they will do every thing in their power to facilitate the return of a million of subsidiary coin to this country. The supply at home for several years has been too small for the demand, and congress is trying at this session to arrange to increase it. So, the Canadian movement, while providing a salve for the wounded pride of the good people of that coun try who came to the United States in 1904 and 1905, will be welcome to our own people, and so nobody will be hurt.

It has been apparent for a long time that this situation could not con tinue indefinitely. The little experience which Canadians had at St, Louis and Portland has simply* served to hasten the construction of a Canadian mint that is all. Without such a provoca tion, it is quite likely that the mint would have b,een provided for within the next five or six years. The rapid growth of Canada in population and wealth has resulted in a demand for halves, quarters and dimes which its own limited supply, even when supple mented by the free circulation of those coins from, the United States, has been unable to satisfy. ROAD MUST REPIAOE SWITCH AT OTISVILLE Sweeping Decision Is Rendered by Dis trict Court at Stillwater Against the Soo Line. Special to The Journey Stillwater, Minn., March '24.Judge Williston of the district court made a sweeping decision today in the case of the State of Minnesota, ex rel the State Eailroad and Warehouse Commis sion, against the Soo railroad, wherein the railroad company is directed to re store the switch at Otisville within twenty days, to the same condition in which it was for the year ending Aug. 10, 1905. Otisville is a small station on the Soo road in the northern part of Washington county, and a little more than a year ago a new town was started about a mile from Otisville, known as Copas. The railroad placed a switch at Copas and later removed the one at Otisville, which had been maintained since the road was built. Besidents of Otisville and vicinity became highly incensed at this and applied to the courts for relief. At the hearing, the railroad company contended that the switch at Otisville was only a tempo rary affair and had never been intend ed as a permanent one. The residents, on the other hand, furnished an abundance of evidence showing that Otisville had been regarded as a regu lar freight and passenger station, and Judge Williston upholds the view.

The bill introduced by the committee creates a commission with power to investigate the business of all companies, fire or life, local or foreign, reserve or frater nal. If the bill is enacted, a commission of five members-, two from the senate and three from the house, will be ap pointed to conduct the examinations.
