does no: have to go out with the thermometer at
ninety-eight or ninety nine degrees IN the shade
Teas and receptions have subsidized, or perhaps
il would be better to say that the people giving
them have subsidized. The advertised summer
resorts, including Delano Beach and Long
Branch, claim their visitors. Some very pleas
ant times have been spent At Deiano Beach by
parties going from here. There one can battle
at times without being quite frozen to death,
although even at that resort the water Is some
times apt to be chilly. At Long Branch the water
is caught by food gates and allowed TO warm.
Interest in the Saturday evening Yacht Club
hops continues undated. The marriage Wednes-
day morning of Miss ouimette TO Mr.. Fratt was
largely attended at St Lakes church. The
decorations and pretty costumes were very
pleasing from an artistic point OF view Tennis
still claims the attention of large number OF
society people. The ladies' tournament was ex-
citing during the closing days this week.

THE COMET AND the EARTH.

CHICAGO. Nsy. 25.-If Biela's comet-if
the fiery wanderer in space which is now
attracting so much attention really is
Biela's ccmet-is TO collide with this
planet, the ceremonies will be over by 10
o'clock next Sunday evening. Professor
Colbert, who is observing the comet
closely, has this to say upon the subject:
IF any one is afraid of the consequences
of collision with the comet he may
reassure himself after 9:45 o'clock Sunday
night. As near as can be- computed the
earth will bs at that point in its orbit
which is crossed by Bieia's comet at $50
O'Clock Sunday evening, provided there
has been no shifting in tue position of the
plane Of the comets orbit in the last forty
hours. Ii there has been such Il change 1t
would be slight Interrogation, making
the latest limit OF possible contact earlier
than above stated. While | nave no
means Of knowing the exact position Of
the comet tonight owing 10 the cloudy
weather, it seems probable that the comet
is moving toward us. in spite of assertions
to the contrary, and that it must cross the
earth'> orbit, but possibly not till some
days after our earth has got beyond the
collision point. if there be any. The
comet ought to have moved more than a
degree in position between s o'clock
Wednesday night and the same time last
night. provided that it be due To cross the
earth's orbit not later than Sunday even-
ing; while iudistinct observation OF it
through the haze does not warrant the
belief that it has changed its position by
as much as one degree"

THE OHIO MIDDLE,

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 25.-It now appears
that Ohio may have gone for Cleveland by
a slight margin. The official count upon
the individual presidential electors has
been completed. 1t shows that Seward
has received plurality of 1,7l6 votes over
his Republican opponent. This seems
to lie due to misunderstanding
on the part OF the voters regarding
the regulations Of the Australian system.
The law was recently amended to direct
that crosses for straight tickets must be
placed in circle at the top of the ballot.
1t appears that mauy voters placed their
marks at the side OF TIA. ticket ut the top.
thinking that they voted straight, thereby
really voting for Seward. Abstracts of
five counties were sent back for correction,
ana it is probable that the corrected re-
turns may imperl the election OF two
other presidential electors.
