HOUGH later than Americans
planes the English are now enthusiastic over tho successful maneu-
vers of the machine which was tested at the recent naval rovlew In
Weymouth bay. It Is described as having "the powers of nn albatross.
ablo to fly over the water float upon it nnd rlso again" King George wntchotl
the evolutions of tho craft which located the royol yJreht In a thick fog and
later alighted op tho water near tho yacht and disembarked an otDcor who
delivered a messago to the king. The naval authorities declare that la tho new
lavontion for which an Englishman Is responsible. Great Britain has the most
remarkable and satisfactory macblno of Its kind in tho world "that other
powers havo boon loft boblnd In the raco for oerlat supremacy" and that "the
British watcrplane has already porformed feats completely altering tho condl
tlom poHlble In naval warfare." And yet a month or so before tho Weymouth
revlsw an American aviator. Frank Coffyn. performed foots equally remarkable
In New York harbor. Tho npper of the two photographs shows tbo watcrplane
towed on a boat tho lowor Just rising from tbo water.
II. A. HANCOCK BEAD.
Tho following of nn old pioneer of
Abilene Is announced through a let-
tor received by John Stinchcamb: "H.
A. Hancock for thirty years a tamiliar
Iguro on tho streets of Abilene leav
ing tho city about a year ngo for the
.ar East no doubt to Hvo and qle with
liis8on; RbbL Hancioclc "died oifthe 8th
day of June nt tho home of his son in
Concord New Hnmpshlrc." It spurns
as natural as "Tho Sunset of life gives
them mystical lore." "And as coining
events cast their shadow's before" to
turn their faces toward the old home
'.nd scencB of their birth to close their
earthly pllgramago.
This unique and remarkable charac-
ter left Boston af least fifty years
ago being ojip of the colonists bound
for "Bleeding Kansas' and the settlo-
lent at Lawrence Kansas nnd was
n and through all tho bloody struggle
attending tho formation of tbo Consti-
tution nnd mission of Kansas Territory
into tho Union. Then coming to Aus-
tin Texas and finally to Ablieno.
.Many beautiful specimens of IiIb archi-
tectural drawings nnd his artistic
3cenlc paintings are left as memorials
"( his fine taste nnd skill. As a son of
"The Village Blacksmith" immortal-
ized by Longfellow he was very proud.
Ait a neighbor and associate of Daniel
Webstar Oliver Wcndol Homes Ru-
fus Cboato nnd many other celebrities
or his youthful days ho often spoke in
'Slorlous terms and especially of tho
famous debate between Haines of
South Carolina and Webster. All the
old citizens or Abilene will feci tho
sorrow and cntor Into sympathy with
tho boreaved. A FRIEND
