TO UOn. Grocer CIcrelunR.
My DEAR SIH-I congratulate Won and
the people Of the whole country upon
your election to the Presidency of the
inited States. You owe your election,
in my opinion, to the acttk:; The people
believed you to be an honest man, and
not to any particular efforts made by
any faction Of either the Democratic or
Republican parties. Independent men,
who care more for good government
than for parties or individuals have made
you their choice because they were con-
ylnccd that your administration would
10 be for the benefit OF any political
organization or favored PERSONS, but for
the interest of the whole people. This
is Just the result which is most desired.
We have reached Il time when party
amounts to little. The country is above
"ll, and wants an honest government by
honest mon. The belief that ne will
find i; in you has led to your election.
Yours very truly,
W. II. Vanderbilt.

Evolution in mississippi,

In the Mississippi Synod, held last
week in Crystal Spring, the question of
Evolution coming up, the Rev. j. d.
West spoke for an hour in favor of DR..
Woodrow and his theory as to the orr
gin of man. But little was said on the
other side, members having made up
their minds that such discussions do no
good.
After Mr.. West had spoken, DR.. B. NJ.
Palmer, Of New Orleans, stated that he
had no desire to prevent any ono from
studying and favoring Evolution, but
objected to having it taught in the the
illogical seminarics and in churches.
AS for the manner in which Adam was
created, DR.. Palmer said Man knows
nothing about Gods creative power be-
yond what tho Bible furnishes us, and
never can know such things. 1t is be-
yond the reach Of nor of science.
The final vote on the resolution offer
cd in the morning by DR.. Palmer rcla-
tive to evolution and condcmning the
teaching Of it in scminarics stood DO

Historic Close Votes.

AS early as 1924, in the contest be-
tween Adams and Jackson, there was n
difference Of only 1N in Maryland's
vote on these two candidates in favor Of
Adams. -Four years later that State
voted on these sa,ne candidates, and
though there were nearly 25,UNO addi-
tional votes divided between them, Ad-
ans still led by 1,l81. In 1882, when
Clay and Jackson were the rival candi-
dates, Delaware gave Clay but 1876 more
votes than Jackson got, and in Mary
land there was an actual difference Of
only four votes, Clay getting 1880 and
jackson 1886. The vote in New Jer-
sey that year stood Clay 1892, Jack
son 1886, a triting, yet all important
difference of 4i4 votes, In 1856, when
Harrison and Van Buren, were the petit
TONERS for sutiragcs, there was a differ
encc in Connecticut Of only 76S votes,
in Louisiana Of 270, in Mississippi Of
POI, and i'll New Jersey Of 545. In 1910.
when Harrison ran against Van Burcn,
there was a difference in the vote in
Maine Of only All, in Michigan Of 1885,
in Pennsylvania of 1915, in u total vote
of 2S7 ,O97, and in Virginia Of 1892. Be
tween Clay and Polk in 1914, there were
differences in Louisiana Of 7O1 votes, in
New Jersey 1923, andin Tennessee, Folks
home. Clay led him by just Il3 votes.
In lS4S, between Taylor and CaSS, the
difference between votes for the two
was: In Alabama 2S1, in Delaware 523.
in Iowa LOCO, i'll Mississippi 6l5, and in
Virginia, l,4G2.
The race Of Pierce against Scott in
1882 was corrcspondingly close in some
States. the advantage being in Delaware
only 20 votes, in Louisiana 1892. in
North Carolina GS6 and in Tennessee
1850. IL the memorable and rcinarka-
bic contest Of 1860 lincoln only had
CSC votes the better Of Douglas in Cali
Iornia. In 1854 Mcclellan got only 6I2
more votes than Lincoln in Delaware.
In California in 1865 Grant received but
. more votes than Seymour, and in
Oregon but l64 majority. In 1872 again,
between Greedy and Grant, Delaware
held her party votes within 800 Of each
other. In 1872 Hon. Thomas \. Hem
bricks was elected Governor Of Indiana
by las MISUNDERSTANDING Inter-
Ocean.

a DREADFUL PIiOPHESY.
How the Moon May Bring the E:nrth
to II StnndStilI.

w a.
The tides are caused mainly by tie
moo as it were, catching hold of the
water as the earth ~rcvoives around on
its axes. This must cause friction on
the earth as it revolvcs. and friction, rs
every body knows, causes loss Of power.
There is reason to suppose that the nc-
ton Of the tides is slwoly but surely
lcsScninS the speed of the carth's rota-
ton. and consequently increasing the
length Of the day, and that this action
will continue until the earth rcvolvcs on
its own axis in the same time that the
moon takes to r~cvolvc around the earth.
Then the day, instead Of being twenty
four hours us now, will be about twenty
eight days, and the earth will be expos
ed to the full blaze Of the sun for about
fourteen days at n time.
The change this will bring about on
the face Of the earth can hardly be OK
aggcratcd. All life, both animal and
vegetable, will he destroyed, all water
will be cvaporatcd, the solid rocks will
be scorchcd and cracked. and the whole
world reduced to drcary and barren
wilderness. 1t is supposed by some
that the moon has already passed though
this, hence its shattered and bare-look-
ing surface. That the earth, being so
much larger. has more quickly acted
upon the oceans which oncc were upon
the room surface and stopped almost
entirely its revolution round its own axis
thus causing it to have Il day equal to
twcnty-cisht Of our days, and the heat
Of the sun has already done to it what
in future ages it will do to the GARTH

New Racing Rules.

Chicago, Nov.-The meeting of the
America Racing Association to-day
was devoted to a revision of the rules.
The most important action was in re-
gard to post book making. The rule
was entirely stricken out and an or
der was made that hereafter no book
maker be allowed to start or enter a
horse. Violation of this will cause
both horse and maker to be expected.
The scale Of weights was changed
only as 10 two-year-olds in fall
months, ten pounds being added. A
new rule was enacted prohibiting the
entry ola horse with changed name
and in action pools the selling of sin
gle horses against the field was abol-
ished.

ADY1cE TO THOSE USING GLASSES

ADVICE TO THOSE USING GLASSES.
Men engaged in literary pursuits
should read most by day and write most
by night 1t is worthy Of note that
reading causes hrore strain to the eye
than writing, and that copying work in
writing makes a greater demand upon
the organ Of vision than oH-hand compo-
sition. Twilight and mixture Of twi-
light and artificial illumination should
be avoided for any kind Of work. The
pale cobalt-blue tint is the best that can
be employed whom protection fpf tho eye
from intense glare is sought, as in the
case Of travelling upon snow-Aelds in the
bright sunshine. The green glass that
Is so often adopted for this purpose is
not by any means SO worthy Of conf
denoe. Reading in railway travelling is
Objectionable in the highest degree for
very obvious reason, The oscillation
Of the carriage continually alters the
distance Of the page from the eye, and
so calls for unceasing strain in the effort
to keep the organ in due accommoda-
ton for the ever-varying distance of the
dancing image. The exact fitting Of the
framework Of spectacles to the face and
eyes is Of more importance than is gen.
orally conceived. II the oenters of the
LENSES Of the spectacles do not exactly
coincide with the centers Of the pupils
of the eyes, the consequences il that the
images in the separate eyes are q little
displaced from the positions which they
ought to hold, and that . somewhat
painful and injurious effort has to be
made by the eye to bring those images
back into due correspondence for aec4-
rate vision. An incipient squint is apt
to be in this way produced. Mr.. Garter
recommends that people should look 70
the centering of their spectacies 10,
themselves. This may be easily done
by standing before looking-glass with
the spectacles in their place. II the I'll
| is good one the center Of the pupil
should then appear ip the center Of the
rim. Fully-formed spectacles are always
to be preferred to folding frames, be:
cause they permit Of more satisfactory
adjustment in this particular, and be.
cause they are more easily kept in the
right position With regard to the eyes.
The only advantage which tho pebble
enjoys over glass for the construction oI
spectacles if the immunity which it pos:
sesses against scratching aud trscturs
on account Of its greater hardness. -.
