How THEY FEEL.-Representative Skin
ner, of South Carolina, says his district
embraces great part of the Atlantic coast
of North Carolina. The people there re-
member very wildly that twenty -four years
ago the republican party came into power
and at once turned out every democratic in
cumbsnt Of a lighthouse and replaced him
with republican. They are simply mysti-
fed, therefore, that, the democratic regime
being renewed, republicans should still be
found trimming the light house lamps. The
worst of it is that to them it appears as if
these republicans were to keep on trimming
them. It would not be disagreeable to
them to be practically disatused of that
idea" And 80 say many others.

LUMINOUS BASE BALLs.-Charles Shelton
the leading druggist of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
has discovered compound which, when ap-
piled to base ball, renders that object lu.
minous. One of the draw backs of playing
baseball at night under the electric light is
the inability to see the ball when thrown or
:batted into the air with the black night
background Of sky behind it. By saturat-
ing it with Mr.. Shelton's compound the ball
while In motion is luminous. Arrest it does
not give out any light. The Illuminating
ball retains it's meteoric irritation for forty.
five minutes. Two or three, therefore,
would be required to play game of nine
innings and several could be Kept in pickle
