The Clermont began her slow journey up the Hudson at the mt( nf fnni" mlloa an hour on "August IT, 1807. She was a siaewneei steamboat and, compared with the ocean leviathans which lay at their piers, and the swift Monmouth nnri thsato to. ly sound boats and the busy tugs, all of men joinea in paying tribute to the memory of the discoverer of a new means of navigation, she was onlv a mrH study. The Clermont traveled to Albany In oo nours, ana each passenger paid $7 for the privilege of being aboard. Members of the Robert Fulton Memorial Association, at the hour when the brazen-throated salutes were being given, left for a trip on a Hudson river steamboat of th day line.

Observed In Baltimore. The deep of oceangoing ships, the shriller blasts of steamboats and tugs, and even the chirpy pipe of the gasoline launches, all combined yesterday to rend the atmosphere in honor of Robert Fulton, who.

made himself famous by successfully operating the first steamboat. It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon that the first whistle, loud and prolonged, started the noisy celebration. Every American vessel In the harbor took up the whistling, and for many minutes the noise was deafening. Not only did the vessels blow their whistles in acknowledgement of Fulton's fame, but they were dressed in their gayest bunting as well. The Light street fleet had all its flags flying from the many flag staffs, tugs flew flags from sooty masts, and gasoline launches, which it is a pretty safe bet to make were never dreamed of by Fulton, showed strips of bunting.

The steamer Porto Rico, of the New York and Baltimore Transportation Line, and the Baltimore and Carolina steamer George Weems were both gay with colors, the brilliant hued flags of the international signal code fluttered from halyards strung from both trucks. As a matter of fact the first steamboat was invented by a Marylander James Rumsey, of Cecil county. He built a steam vessel and It proved successful at Its trial on the Potomas river. That was 22 years before Fulton's Clermont attracted the attention of the world. SUICIDE AFTER ELOPEMENT Woman For Whom Newspaper Man Left Wife Deserted Him.

Cincinnati 17. John E. Owens, a well-known newspaper writer and traveler, whose Infatuation for Mrs. "Bonnie" Tucker, the former wife of a politician of this city, led him to desert his wife and home, committed suicide at a rooming house in this city late yesterday by drinks lng laudanum after he had had a brief interview with Mrs. Tucker, wherein he pleaded for a reconciliation, which was refused.

The tragic death of Owens was the cli max of his sensational escape with Mrs. Tucker In Mexico City, months ago. The two traveled some time and finally reached the Mexican capital. There Owens caused a sensation by appealing to the po lice to locate his "wife," who had deserted him. It was said that she had decided to leave on account of his insane Jealousy.

A few days later she went tq, Oklahoma City and on the same train was Frank Bal lard, an American hotelkeeper of Mexico City, at whose hotel the couple had stopped. Owens started In pursuit, asserting that Ballard had induced Mrs. Tucker, to leave him. He wired the police authorities of Oklahoma City to place the couple under arrest on a charge of smuggling. Owens charged Ballard with having stolen a revolver from him and was him self placed In Jail for threatening the woman.

Mrs. Tucker and Ballard were released. Owens finally got out of Jail, and followed the object of his infatuation. He effected a reconciliation with her on a train going to St- Louis, but they again separated. Owens was about 48 years old and was born in Wales.

He traveled In many parts of the world and was in South Africa dur ing the first Boer War in 1881. He came to this country about the time of the Jame son raid, in 1895, and worked on newspapers In a number of cities until he finally located In Cincinnati, where he was em ployed as -a writer until his elopement with Mrs. Tucker.

France and Germany, will leave for New York In a few days." SWIMMER PICKED UP AT SEA Went Out For Midnight Bath And Was Supposed To Have Drowned. New York. Aug. 17. A remarkable story of a man who went for a swim, disap peared and, naturally, was supposed to have drowned, and who now 'turns up at sea aboard a steamer, developed today.

Edward Hugo Colell, a well-known real estate dealer, of Brooklyn, disappeared from his summer home at Rockaway Park at midnight last Tuesday. He had started out for a swim and it was feared that he had been drowned. A wireless message was received by his family last night from the steamer Huron, a southbound Clyde liner, saying that he was on board that vessel. How he got there is at present a mystery. According to Mr.

Colell's family he nad been in the habit for years of taking a bath in the surf late, every night. When he left the house Tuesday night for the shore he wore only a bathrobe, an over coat and a pair of slippers. This apparel was found the next morning on the beach and search has been made ever since for his body. Colell was a strong swimmer ana nis family and friends believe, therefore, that he was carried out" to sea by a strong tide and managed to keep afloat until picked up by the Modern Education.

Waking early in the morning, before the sun is up, the men are stiff and sore from riding and the chill of dew. For the first mile the aches are painful until finally ridden out.

Later the. heat becomes oppressive, and the horses' hoofa send up stifling clouds of dus, or the rain pours down. For a while the ride becomes monotonous, broken only by the splashing of the mounts through some small stream. Next a stop will be made, cinches tightened and a few minutes' chat enjoyed. The troopers minds turn to recollections of the past the good times at Westminster, the Jollity of the farmers' picnic at Buckeystown or the festivities at Charlestown, where the boys still wish they had spent a second day, according to the original plans.

From the past realities of the present bob up, and the "Jog, Jog, Jog" again becomes monotonous, until someone Is cracked on the head with a green apple or Trooper Hoffman sticks the point of his saber in the ribs of the hostler, J.
