on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Miss Leona Is a young miss scarcely
turned her fourteenth year, and yet she
and her little dog “Glpesy,” will taka
aa excursion np among the clouds at an
altitude that would make the bravest
heart quail, or the steadiest masculine
hand tremble.
The balloon will be Inflated at from
2:40 to 3:00 Saturday evening, requiring
twenty minutes to red-tv* a sufficient
volume of hot sir.
Then the ropes will be slipped, and—
away up among the clouds the young
lady will aril with s little dog her only
companion.
"Gipeey” will be out loooe at an atti
tude of 1,500 feet, and will make the
descent In a parachute.
Miss Leons will, however, far eclipse
this, soaring up to an altitude of 4,000
feet before she deserts the “ship of air,"
and entrusts herself to the paraebute.
In order to get a oiear conception of
the really great height, It Is only neces
sary to remember that a mils up In the
sir Is only 5,280 feet—and Just imagines
mile turned bottom upwaids.
Prof. Odell, the aeronaut, has bad
some thrilling chapters Is his life's his
tory that read Ilka pages In yellow-back
literature.
“It la expected by those in our pro-
feaslon, and when we break our lega and
arms, It la a matter of course.”
“What about the paraihute, and Its
guidance?”
“Well, the popular Impression that the
parachute la merely the toy of the cur

Is guided, io a material measure, by the
poise of the body, and I can very gener
ally choose my place tor alighting.”
•Over in Birmingham,” continued the
professor, “I made an ascension of 0,000
feet, which was pronounced by Prof.
Baldwin, of Quincy, HI., thf world-
famous aeronaut, to be the highest on
record for a balloon inflated with only
hotair. Once while exhibiting in Colum
bus, and at a great height, my balloon
burst and I had just time enough to out
loose with my parachute.”
Hundreds and hundreds of people will
be in America* Saturday to witness the
wonderful serial performance of plucky
little Mias Leona and her dog “Gipeey.”

Primary Election—A Photograph of tho
PloM This. Hereto*.
The vast and complicated machinery
of pollUoi.will bo eet In motion to-day,
and the complexion of municipal polities
will undergo s change.
The morning will dawn clear, cold and
crisp; the shades of night wiU gather
feet over three defeated aldermen.
Such i* the Inevitable nature of things,
as sore as the decree of destiny.
Chairman Windsor, of the democratic
committee, was seen last evening con
cerning the managers of the election,
and says: “The polls will open prompt
ly at • o’clock, closing at 4. The mana
gers will be selected in the morning and
will bo in control in ample time for the
voting.”
Polities was the all-ebeorbing theme
yesterday; discussed by old and young,
Irrespective of creed, clast or condition.
Speculation was engrossed In making
slates and spotting the lucky three.
Tbeguesees present a kaleidoscopic
variety, or the asms variety that exists
after the explosion of s powder mill.
All tba candidates will havo tickets
and a sort of “drop-a-niokle-in-tbe-slot”
and taka your cholco will prevail.
With the retirement of Messrs. Logan,
Williams and Williford, Americus loses
three solid and conservative aldermen,
bat with the present tickets in the field
there Is no doubt but that she will get
three io their place In whose bands the
city affairs will be satisfactorily at
tended to.
Polities are a queer game and there is
no telling what a shuffle ot the eards will
bring forth.
The registered dyed-in-tbe wool demo
crats alone can wield the ballot and they
will alone determine who will be the
nost aldermen.
Take enough interest in your city to
come out and cast s vote to-day In favor
of your choice, but, by all means, be
certain and vote.

Cambridge, Maes.. Dec. 1.—B;v.
James G. Spaulding, late rector of
ancient Christ church, this city, has
become a Roman Catholic. AH doubt
in the matter was set at rest, when in
u address of over an hoar’s duration
he took formal leave of hto flock and
rave his reasons for a change of faith.
The church was thronged. Stating
that he was not to preach s sermon,
announced no text, but said if there
were any words of tie Scripture which
be wonld like to quote as applicable to
hto position they wonld bo those of St.
Paul at the time of hto conversion,
"Where art Tboo, Lord? Lord, what
will Thou have me to do?" declaring
that be had acted in this important
matter ouly after long snd peaceful
consideration covering a period of years.
He said in brief:
"I will say at once that what first Set
me tfaiukiug in tbe direction which has
resulted thus far in my giving np the
rectorship war the rationalism, the free-
thinking niid tbe unbelieving in the
Episcopal und tbe entire Angelican
community. I wish here to correct a Now is the time to buv vour
misapprehension. It has been said by “ J C DU J J 0Ur
some that uy reasons retched their
culmination at the time of the recent
Episcopul election for bishop (Phillip
Brooks). This is a mistake. My action
would be- just what it has been if the
highest churchman in the land had been
made bishop. The ouly effect It bas,
this most recent victory of advanoed
thought, is that it emphasizes my so-
tlon, oud my action emphasises it.
After referring to the question which
arose in his mind as to whether the
Episcopal church had ths authority
claimed for it, he said tbe result of this
line of thought had led him to the con
viction that the Roman Catholic was
the true church. He said: "I found
myself so far advanced toward the po
sition of the Catholic church snd so far
removed from the Anglicon church that
I could not conscientiously continue iu
the discharge of my ministerial duties.
The result of my investigations has
been a steadily strengtheningprofession
of the claim of the Roman CathoUc
church. I may be mistaken; if so may
God further enlighten me. ”
Dr. Spaulding expects to engage in
educational work, but as yet has uo def
inite plans.

templated removal to the
