stin Another Comet.

Prof. Swift, director of. the Warner
Observatory, Rochester. N. Y, has
just verified the discovery of anot her
comet, in the Constellation of Auriga,
made July 14th, by Prof. j. NJ. Schae-
berle, of Ann Arbor, Mich. This
new comet is apparently coming di-
rectly toward the earth, and, for G
telescopic comet, is very bright; in
deed, it can readily be seen with a
good opera glass. 1t is quite remark
able that it should be in just the spot
where the present largo comet was
first seen by the naked eye in this
latitude, and it shows that the two
bodies must have crossed each others
paths. This makes the fourth comet
discovered within ten weeks, cir
cumstance heretofore unknown in
history. Prof. Schaeberle has duly
filed his application for the Warner
prize of 5000, and as yet he is the only
claimant.

COnkling's Successor.

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
We repeat the following facts given
few days ago regarding Elbridge
G. Lapham, who was elected to the
United States senate from New York
yesterday to succeed Roscoe Cenk-
ling. He is the son of the late Judge
John Lapham, and was born in Farm
ington, N. Y, October 1s, 1914. He
was brought up on farm, and dur
ing the winter months attended the
public school. He spent some time
at the Canandaigua academy, where
he was classmate of Stephen A.
Douglas, and also studied civil engi-
neering. After spending some time
in work upon the line of the Michi-
gan Southern railroad, Mr.. Lapham
studied law, and in 1914 he was ad-
mitted to the bar. He settled at
Canandaigua, where he has since
practiced law. Soon after his ad-
mission to the bar Mr.. Lapham form
ed a partnership with Judge James
z. Smith, which continued until the
latter was raised to the bench. Mr..
Lapham was member of the Consti-
tutional convention of 1867 and voted
for the adoption Of the constitution.
In 1874 he was elected as a republican
to the XLIVth congress, and has
since been elected from the same dis
to tie XVII, XVIII than and %s}9vlIfes XGViits
congresses. Mr.. Lapham acted with
the democracy until 184S, but he sup
ported the Wihnot proviso and the
Van Buren ticket in that year, and
was delegate to the Buffalo conven-
ton.
Mr.. Lapham has always been
known as Conkling man, and was
nominated for that reason, as Mr.,
Conk1iDg could have no good reason
for opposing him. In the caucus he
received the support of the strong
anti-Conkling element. AS Mr.. Conk-
ling has bitterly opposed him and his
election was brought about by anti
Conkling influences, Mr.. Lapham is
not likely to show much affection un-
der the circumstances for his old
friend, and may be relied upon to
support the administration.

Very Convenient.

An exchange sagely remarks: 1t
is very convenient to have home
newspapers announce marriages and
deaths; it is very nice to have them
speak well and encourage enterprise
