A nIsuNITEn PARTY.


 The united labor party, which was going to entirely change things in this part of the world, has been getting disunited very fast ever since it made it's most emphatic declara- tion that it was united. The latest indica- tions of the disunicn of the party are quite as interesting as anything that has gone be. fore. It hes seemed that if there were any union in this world of disintegration it ex- isted between Dr. McGlynn and Henry George. But the deceitfulness of appear ances was made very manifest when Dr. Mo- Glynn the other day said that Henry Georges recent declaration that the united labor party would not present candidate for the presidency this year, and that he would support Cleveland because of his free trade principles, was an attempt to side track the party by tariff tinkering and to make it tail to the Democratic kite. He had hoped to make Henry George the presidential can didate, but Mir. Georges action in deserting to the enemy just before the battle of course made that impossible. He would not wish now to have him for candidate, even if he should see the error of his ways and return. His candidacy would be more hurtful than helpful. If he should come back, said Dr. McGlynn, he must take much humber po- sition than heretofore.
 MT. George sweetly replied to this friendly utteranoe by declaring that he was pleased to hear of Dr. McGlynn's desertion of the party. He had stood by the doctor faithfully, though he had felt for long time that priest who had quarrelled with his church must be 8 burden rather than help to any party. And it is given out that now that Dr. McGlynn has withdrawn from the George ranks very happy solution of what has been difficulty has been reached. MT. George is relieved of 1 the burden of an ally who was obnoxious to 1 most Catholics, and yet, it is declared, he has observed all the obligations of friend ship, and is not to blame for the breach. ''The land tax theory will now appeal to the public for support on its scientific merits, l untrammelled by the religious prejudice which had become mixed up with it.'' It is also stated that more friendly relations will hereafter exist between the Knights of Labor and the Henry George people than hitherto. The number of Catholics in that powerful labor organization is very large, and it was possible for the leaders of the order to sane tion the land tax movement while excom- municated priest was one of it's leaders.
 And so forth and so It is very evil dent that the millennium is not to be brought about soon by the united or dis united labor party. If its leaders can't agree among themselves they can't expect to make many converts. And those they have made will be callino them bumhups soon if they are not already.

Shooting Stars.

From the Contemporary Review. What do we know as certain facts with regard to shooting starss 1. They are vastly more numerous than anyone has an idea of who has not watched them continuously for many nights Astronomers who have kept . record for many years assure us that the av- craze number seen by one observer at one
 place on clear moonless night is fourteen per hour, which is shown by calculation to be equivalent to 20, GOO, 900 daily for the whole earth.
 ?. They not terrestrial phenomena
 moving in orbits and with velocities con-
 parable to those of planets and comets.
 Their velocities are seldom under ten miles second or over ftty, and average about thirty,
 the velocity of the earth in it's orbit round the sun being eighteen.
 3. They arc of various composition con-
 prising both large majority of smaller particles which are set on fire by the as- sistance of the earth's atmosphere and en- tire1y burned up and resolved into vapor long before they reach it's surface, and few larger ones, known as meteors, which are only partly fused or glazed by heat, and reach the earth in the form of stony m masses.
 4. They are not uniformly distributed through space, but collect in meteoric swarms or streams, two at least of which revolve around the sun in closed rings which are intersected by the earth's orbit, causing the magnificent displays of shoot ing stars which are seen in August and Nov embsr.
 5. They are connected with comets, it having been demonstrated by Schiaparelli that the orbit of the comet of 1066 is identical with the August swarm of meteors known as the Perseids, and connections between comets and meteor streams have been found in at least three other cases.
 The fact is generally believed that comets are nothing but condensation of meteorites rendered incandegcent by the heat generated by their mutual collision when brought into close proximity.
 6. Their composition, as inferred from
 the larger Rleteors which reach the earth,
 is identical, or nearly so, with that of vol
 eanic eruptions. In each case they consist
 of two elasses,-one composed mainly of
 native iron alloyed with nickel, the other of
 stony matter, consisting mainly of com
 pounds of silicon and magnesium. Most
 meteorites consist of compounds of the two
 classes, in which the stony parts seem to
 have broken into fragments by violent col
 lision and become imbedded in iron which
 has been fused by heat into plastic or pastry condition.

cHILDLRssNEss AN EVIL.
Some Useful Hints Plainly Given t.
 Young Wives.

The wife can make no graver mistake com
 patib1e with true love for her husband than
 repudiation of the duty of child-bearing,
 writes Marion Harland The fault passes
 beyond the line of hlunders into the rank of
 positive sins. The desire of every man to
 leave representative of himself on earth,
 when he lies down to sleep with his fathers,
 is deeply grounded in noble natures. The
 fatber labors in the field of the world, with
 the strength of as many men as there are
 hostages to fortune in the home nest. The hope of maintaining children in comfort,
 bringing them up in responsibility and honor,
 and providing against possible want, strangles
 avarice, glori6es ambition. The words "wife and mother" go as naturally together as sshome and heaven"
 It argues fatuous and intolerable conceft when young wife deliberately assumes that she will be able in youth, middle and old age, to be sufficient to her husband in every phase of his many-sided nature as to compensate for the loss of what the lord of nature has declared is a necessity of his being. The pair are agreed not to under take the care and responsibility of offspring, we are generally told in such cases Then the wife should lift to her shoulders the heavier burden of keeping herself eternally Iaaf anu sprlghtiy; or nllng her spouse's heart and homo with mirth and music as time goes on, of supplying the clements of prideful love and hope he might have had in growing boys and girls; of being, in fine, a perpetual fountain of youth to the man worn with cares and years The principle of rejunevation, of growth into beauty and strength, the csass1ess novelty,
 stir and action that defy dullnsss and lan- guor, and keep parents hearts fresh under l the shadow of the almond tree, and only come and abide in the home with the children of ones very own.
 Childlessness is an evil. The dread sig ni6cance of the aphorism is too often not suspected until the summer of advent is past, the harvest time of education is ended, and the barren stocks stand uncomely and 1 uncared for in g desolate winter. "The l making of a true home is really our pecul- | jar and inalienable right, a right which no I man can take from us; for man can no more make home than drons can make & hiye," writes Frances Power Cobbe.

UnconscEousIy Revealed

"It's many day since have seen wom- an unconsciously disclose the secret of her makeup, as did one on Franklin street to- day." said a gentleman as he came in from airing his lilacs, yesterday afternoon. ''Well, it was this way" he said when pressed for the story "You see nicely dressed woman came tripping down Franklin street, near Allen. Part of a newspaper innocsntly re- posed on the sidewalk. She was stepping high and looking higher and did not notice it as she came along. She walked right over it, but the edge of her dress moved it and the rustic caught her ear. Heavens, can it be possible?'' her look said. The dismay pie tured on her face increased as she stopped still, looked around, saw the paper, and then what do you suppose! She actually felt to learn if her hustle was where it ought to be. Evidently it was, for her face br!ghtened as she went on,

Balloons intended for use by the Italian army in Africa were tried recently in the presence of several French and foreign off, cers and aeronauts. One is to be used at night and carries lamp equal to seventy candles in power. Each balloon with it's ap- purtenances is coiled up in box and placed in 8 four-wheeled vehicle, at the back of which is a pulley which lets out the cable and acts as an anchor. The cables are inter- laced with wires which enable telephonic and telegraphie communication to be kept up be- tween the aeronauts. As water is scarce in the Soudan, where the balloons will be used, generating machine for the manufacture of the hydrogen will be established at Naples and the gas will be packed in steel tubes and

It is hard work to suppress some men, es- pecially inventors. S. L. Barrett, an electri- elan, was sentenced to jail in Houston, Texas, fer period of twenty days for using pistol in the county court house. While in jail he invented an instrument that he calls micro detsoter. While in working position it will warn jailer if prisoners are attempting to escape by saving. filing or using any other adroit means. It was tested by number of citizens, they posting themselves in front room in the back part of the prison with doors closed. A clock was put in motion; every click could be distinctly heard in the room. A saw was used gently on the bars and produced a loud saving noise. The in- strument is worked by electricity on single wire, the various noises of the cells coming over it distinctly.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There is at least one Yankee in Missouri.
 A Missouri farmer recently learned that the
 grand jury was about to indict him for work
 ing on Sunday. He didn't try to evade the
 charge, but on the contrary had his four sons
 summoned as witnesses against him. He was
 fined S1 and costs, total of $5. But as the
 mileage and witness fees of his sons amount ed to $1O40 the family cleared $5.40 on the transaction.
 Those who have been blown upon by the east wind of Boston and have been chilled by Boston society know what charm there is about the place. Judge Tuley of Chicago, who has tried many divorce suits, says that assertions among the well-to-do classes are rare there except among women born in Bos- ton. t'I have divorced great many hus- bands for the sole reason that their wives refused to live anywhere else than in Boston. :" Wall street is very doleful place nova days, and it's do1efulness differs from that of former times in that it is the brokers who are | doleful and not the lambs, for there are none | of the latter to speak of. Few of the brokers | are making their office expenses, and there is very little trading by outsiders. On Saturday | the smallest business on record in the history
 of the exchange was done. There are many causes for this condition of things, but a
 prominent one is that ''the public" have been
 cheated enough and are taking a rest.
