FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, July 14.—The Zeppelin airship made a successful de- partnre from its shed on Lake Con. stance at: 2:20 p. in. today on its much heralded trip through the air that is to last 24 hours. it started in the di- rection of Constance, and sailed males- tlcally away on its long journey. The king and queen of Wurteburg reached the vicinity of the floating shed on board the royal motor boat at 8 p. m. The airship soon emerged from her floating house. stern fore- most, like a vessel leaving the slip. She slowly reached the open lake, and was clear of her shed, and with her keel even with the surface of the water she hung i nthe air like a gigantic sea-go- ing leviathisn forced by some myster~ ious power out of her element. The supporting pontoons were withdrawn by a detachment of the balloon corps, and then, amidst roars of applause from the boats on the lake the crew and passengers. 15 men all told. step- ped on board the famous airship for the m, t remarkable voyage in the his- tory o viation.

The rear platform skimmed over the water at great speed for 200 yards and then the ship rose into the air. Count Zeppelin was at the helm and soon turned t e bows of the ship in the direction of ontsance. It is estimat- ed that the airship started out at the rate of 32 miles an hour. it easily out- distanced the speedy motor boats and the slower excursion steamers were soon left far bbhind. The Zeppelin airship is returning here. There is evidently. something wrong. It has~been in the air one hour and thirty-live minutes. .

Death came suddenly, last night, to Howard Hobart Smith, one (i the old- est and best known residents of The Norwalks, who has for several years made his homc'with‘his family at the Hotel Mahackemo. Mr. Smith had been suffering somewhat from the in- tense heat of the past few days. and had been cautioned by his physician to remain very quiet, and, he was can rying out the instructions. Last night about 11 o'clock he left his room in the hotel and went to a bath room, and shortly afterward was attacked with heart failure. and it Is supposed died almost instantly. Dr. Cbaiies G. B0~ balloon was summoned. but on his an rival he said Mr. Smith was dead. Deceased was born in Norwalk sixty- six years ago, and had resided here during the greater part of his life. He was a member of an old Norwaik fem» iiy. his father and grandfather having for years conducted the old Smith pot~ tery in Smith street, now the: plant of the St. George Pulp and Paper Com- pany. Mr. Smith and his brothers were also active members of the con- cern. which some years ago gave up business, being unable to compete with the cheaper products put out by the pottbry trust. Mr. Smith leaves a wid. ow and two daughters. Mrs. James Connors, wife of the proprietor of the liotel Mahackemo, and Mrs. F. Thorn- ton hockwood. of Rowayton. He also has a. sister, Mrs. Peck, of Norwaik. Mr. Smith had: a wide acquaintance, and by his quiet and unostentatious manner had won the respect and es- teem of all who knew him.

The doctor. upon departing. said: “Just let your husband take that and you'll find he will be all right in a short time." Next day the doctor called again. and the wife opened the deer, her face beaming with smiles. “Sure. that was a wonderful wee bit of paper you left yesterday," she exclaimed. “William is better today." » ‘ - "I'm glad to hear that,". said the much~pieased medical man. “Not but what I hadn't a. big Job to get him to swallow it." she continued.

TRISTRAM a “OEWARD’O FOLLY"‘ A WONDER.‘ Taking Back the Gold, Alaska's 0an ..mon Pack Yearly is Worth More l Than That Greet Land Cost Us. | The people or the United States long ago- recognised that “Scward's Folly." as Alaska was sometimes call- ed in the decade or two after its pur- chalk from Russia in 1867, was a rl-l diculous misnomer, merely deflecting the folly and shortsightedness of those who applied it. in reality the purfl chase of Alaska for a mere bagateile —-87.200,000 in gold—was one of the greatest strokes of statesmanship in the story of American expansion by peaceful acquisition. :What is perhaps not so well known is that even in its present comparatively undeveloped state Alaska is by no means an insig- nificant factor in our national assets. As shown by the recent report of Clar- ence L. Hobart. collector of customs for Alaska, our northernmost territory compares more favorably in the mat- ter of total volume of its business with that of our insular possessions. The figures for, the last lnoiilh of l007 are not yet available, but estimating the" business for that month on the basis of the preceding monthly average the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico did a total trade in 1907 of $67,821,684 and $57,307,808 respectively. while “Alas ka's total for the same period is 848.. 425.330. Eliminating the foreign trade and taking account only of receipts and shipments to and from the United States. Alaska makes a still better comparative showing, its total for 1907 being 845,609,947. while the] Philip- pines are credited with only $23,000.- 000 and POrto Rico with $49,500,000. it must be remembered also that while Porto Rico and the Philippines are old. settled lands whose resources. es- ' pecially in the case of the former, are well known and fairly developed. Alaska is a new country, whose prin- cipal development has been a matter of little more than a decade. Taking the list of shipments in de- tail. the principal items of Alaska's business embrace copper ore; fish; fresh, cured and canned; fish guano. fish oil. furs. gypsum. tin ore and cori- ceiianeous merchandise to the amount of $730,856. Of these principal pro- ducts canned salmon was shipped to the value of $7,721,749. and copper ore and matte to the value of $1,639,129. while the largest item in the list, gold. I amounted to $11,911,882, a decrease of' about $2,000,000 as compared with tn, output of the preceding yulr. This; decrease, however, was due to stdkes ' and labor difficulties. and the ilgurea' given also do not. include the midi shipped out bymail. in the last ten years in round num- bers Alaska has produced $266,000,000 in gold, and good judges say that in the next ten years at least three times , that amount will be taken out byI means of dredges. each of which rep-- resents a labor force equivalent to the work of a thousand men. miners, and prospectors are optimistic ‘ and it must be admitted that in the! dot their optimism. Alaskans eouli« dently look forward to the time when their country will lead 86th Africa in its yield of gold. The salmon industry of Alaska. also. seems capable of vast develo merit. Even at present the single ism of canned salmon yields a. yearly total for the'entlre territory. If not, a doi- lar of gold had been taken from Alas- ka its fisheries alone would have made t a commercial investment‘. There was a general falling off of» business in Alaskli in 1907 as com- pared with the previous year. the ex- planation being.fsb given by the cel- leotor of customs-,9 the labor troubles and also the ovorstooking in supplies in 1006. On the .whole, however, Alas- ka’s businessais in s sound'conditiolr and gives promise of great increase in the near future, when better roads BOOIII‘OII. wouto-ss lioness KlLLs .
