Karl Sloat and mother are hoarding nt L. D. Brown's. Roads of Two States. Even the casual reader of news- papers must have marked the differ ence In the roads of this state and New Jersey as Indicated in the dally reports of the reliability run of the Motor club of Harrisburg.

Boiled down to a sentence, the experience of this run is that southern New Jersey has splendid roads; eastern Pennsylvania has roads that nre execrable. Every Important newspaper from Chicago east has printed this, to us, humiliating truth, and the periodi cals devoted to the automobile will In all probability echo It to every corner of the country. The net result will be that Pennsylvania's already bad record for roads will be added to, while New Jersey will acquire a reputation for good roads that it Is In no wise entitled to as matters now stand. In New Jersey, however, there is a strong good roads sentiment which promises soon to bring the claim and the condition into line. This sentiment extends to every tax-paying in terest and it is so responsive that immediately after the Motor club of Harrisburg run Increased appronria tions were asked for road improvement in townships where the run In dicated roads to be defective, and sections that have not now good roads promise to come up to perfect condition before the summer is over.

No such spirit is discernible In this state. In Lancaster, Lebanon and Dauphin counties good men are try ing to point the way, but as yet there are few Blncere followers. The immediate consequence of this situation Is that southern New Jer sey will profit at the expense of i southern Pennsylvania. How much this will cost the business people of Eastern Pennsylvania It Is Impossible to sny, but a comparison with the Improvement In the business of the southern New Jersey establishments will show that money put In roads Is money well spent.

Of a man old soldiers and old settlers In Honesdale and Wayne county remember the "personal and pertinent" paragrapher of the Scranton Times says: "I notice that two members of old pioneer families, both born In Car-bondnle, and both well and favor ably known In the two valleys, havo died within a few days of each other. David Roe Burnham, U. S. A.

(retired), of Pasadena, Cal died in the Emergency hospital, Carbon-dale, last Sunday. Maj. Burnham was born In Pennsylvania In 1835 and served as a first lieutenant In the Sixty-seventh Pennsylvania volunteer infantry from AugUBt, 1801, until Jnnuary, 18C4, when lie was promoted to captain. Ho was honorably mustered out of the volunteer service on Sept. 15, 18C4.

July 14. The Interstate commerce' commission has determined upon the policy that It will pursue to. ward tlie recent general advances In freight rates by the railroads of practically the entire country. The commission will suspend nil rates which, in its opinion, have been advanced solely for the purpose of Increasing he revenue of the railroads. This will Include all the class rates.

As to tho commodity rates the commission will make certain distinctions. Rates which have been boosted for the purpose of readjusting schedules between localities and not on a revenue raising basis will not be suspended. Generally speaking, however, the more Important schedules of increases will be held up by the commission pending an investigation into their reasonableness. The suspensions will be announced from time to time between now nnd Aug. 1, the hitter being the date upon which most of the advances were to have become operative.

Th suspensions will affect all of tho railroads in the country with the possible exception of a few in the southeastern section of the United States. GIRLS IRRELIGIOUS. Professor Hall Says Lassies of Sixteen Haven't Much Religion. Greeley, July 14. Girls turning sixteen are Irreligious, according to Dr.

"The young girl Is absolutely Irre ligious in her nature. She is myotic, seeing the immediate present, where as a boy looks Into the future. Her life Is all emotion, nnd for thnt reason certain religious fervor Is likely to appeal to her. She should be protected from professional religionists. M0RANE UP 4,100 FEET.

Bunting of Benzine Tank Causes Balloon to Suddenly Drop Downward From Sky With Five Doomed Man Powerless to Escape. Cologne, July 14. The death of Captain Oscar Erbsloeh and the four members of his crew, with the destruction of the dirigible balloon for which much had been hoped, following closely upon the loss of Count Zeppelin's Deutseh-laud, bus caused gloom In aviation circles. The public hud scarcely recovered from the shock caused by the accidental death of Charles Stewart Rolls, the English aviator, when they learned that Erbsloeh bad been added to the long list of Germans who had lost their lives while ballooning. Erbsloeh was one of the most renowned of German's aeronauts and nvlators.

He won the International cup In the distance race for balloons at St. Louis In The distance Erbsloeh's dirigible fell Is estimated nt from feet to 5.000 feet. The bodies of the Ave men. crushed beyond recognition, lay beneath the debris of the wrecked balloon when those who witnessed the fall reached the spot where It fell. The accident was caused by the explosion of a benzine tankr Tbe dirigible Erbsloeh belonged to the Rhine Aerial club.

It resembled a mlnlnture Zeppelin dirigible, being but one-sixth the size of the airship of the famous Inventor. The Erbsloeh con slsted of twelve balloon nets placed side by side In a rigid and covered. frame like the watertight compartments of a ship. A long aluminum car for the engines nnd passengers wns swung below the gas bags. The cat contained two gasoline engines of high power, which drove the fore nnd nft propellers that gave headway to the airship.

The Erbsloeh was constructed last year nud had bad a dubious career. The first time it descended it crashed Into a clump of trees and Its occupants narrowly escaped Injury. A few days ago during a trial flight a propeller was broken. Tho dirigible had just been made over preparatory to the establishment of a passenger service between Elberfeld and nearby points. Yesterday It was Inflated for a final test by the crew.

The dirigible went nloft In a fog near Dusseldorf, from which point the 111 fated Zeppelin passenger liner start ed her Inst voyage. In the aluminum car were Erbsloeh and two companions, together with the two chauffeurs whose duty It was to take care of the gasoline engines. There were few eye witnesses of the accident. According to these the start was well made. The Erbsloeh rose gracefully, pushing Its way through the fog to a height estimated nt several hundred yards.

At this altitude a series of evolutions was begun. To the onlookers the airship appeared to obey her helm perfectly. Suddenly there wns a loud report and at the moment the fore part of the vessel crumpled up nnd the gondola was twisted about until It nppeared as though standing on one end. As the gas escnped from the forward com-partnient the prow swayed downward. I'-r a cash the airship fluttered like a wounded bird and then fell swiftly to earth.

An examination of the wreckage convinced experts of the cause of the accident. The benzine tank was found to have burst, tearing to shreds the rubber envelope directly above It. The destruction of this envelope caused the bow to collapse. The stern compartment was still tilled with gas when It struck the ground. The disaster In all Its details resembles the one which befell the French urmv dirigible several months ago.

when live French ollleers met death by the collapse of the gas bag. BANKER PAROLED. Illinois Board of Pardons Shows Mercy to Wrecker. Springfield, 111., July 14.
