That extraordinary instructor Of youth
full minds at Yale. Lieut.. ToTTEN. U. 8. A., has
deserted moro signs and portents In the
heavens. and hnstens to warn careless world
that the beginning Of the end is at hand.
Readers who are curious to know what q
modern astrologer who is at the same time
deemed competent to teach the students
OF one Of our greatest universities,
Is able to prophesy by the aid OF
the stars. will find an interesting interview
with Lieut. TOTrEN printed elsewhere in this
paper. Therein they will DO informed that tho
beautiful phenomenon Of the conjunction of
Jupiter and Venus. occurring on next Satur.
day. is a most significant event. no less in fact
than "one OF the signs OF tho approaching
advent" With skill In the DEVELOPMENT of
mystery almost equal to that Of the celebrated
JOHN LILY. Lieut. ToTTEN links this innocent
conjunction Of planets with the &c. called Star
OF Bethlehem and tho NEUROLOGICAL signif,ca-
ton OF tho zodiacal consultations, until :he
effect produced is not unlike that which
arsos from the reading OF some of
tho quatrans of NosrEADANUs. The Lieu.
tenant also gravoly assures us that 1902
is prominently a year OF Mars" that
planet coming unusually close to the earth at
its opposition in August. This will be dis
couraging news for those who prefer peace nj
any price. for Mars has always been known as
the planet OF war.

Prior to the year 1872 the New York cleo

on the application OF friend or neighbor.

troduced In the Albany Assembly last
Thursday passes md becomes q law. the
last vestige OF registry by inference OF by
proxy will be done away with in New
York, md overy citizen desiring to
vote will DO by law compelled to at

election day. and then and there swear to

tradon days. during which the Board shall

State must appear In person before this
Board on one OF the four days.
Tho first measure for compulsory per-
sonal registry extended Its operations to all
cities Of moro than 1000 Inhabitants. In
1880 tho registry prerequisite OF suffrage
was established in all the cities of HE State.
Irrespective OF their populstion. Tho bill

That the inventive genius OF tho Ameri-
can people is even moro fertile in these times
than it was in other times is shown by the re-
port OF the Patent Office for last year that has
Just been sent to Congress. It is announced
that the number Of patents granted in the
year 1901 was 1924. or nearly 1000 for each
month OF the year. This Is marvellous rec
ord Of the patent crop. Very many of the in.
ventions thus patented were doubtless Of su-
perlative Importance and the results Of many
Of them will very likely raise establishment in
the great hereafter. Industries will be trans
formed and mankind will be enriched by them.
Glory to tho inventors!
OF course the Empire State OF New York
takes the lead Of all the States arranged under
the title Patents Granted" More than ono.
sixth. or nearly 1000. OF the 1924 patents
issued last year from Washington were grant
cd to residents OF this inventive State. Some
OF the other States. as. for example. Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania. have respecta-
BILE patent record. but New York Is far above
any Of them.
The Patcnt ONCE gives good account Of
Its financial condition. Its receipts for last
year were $131 .572 more than its expendi-
lures. and it has a balance Of over $4.OOOOOO
to its credit in the Treasury.
Commissioner SIMoNDs asks Congress- TO
adopt certain amendments to the Patent and
Trade Mark law. and We do not doubt that
they are OF desirable kind. for he is learned
and faithful Commissioner.

Any proposition to choose New York's
delegates to 0 National Convention under
any other plan than the fair and old-fash-
Toned rule Of majority representation Is re-
pugnant to every notion Of Democracy.
Tho majority must govern. and the minor
ity must acquiesce. To endcavor to have
IL otherwise would be to separate. dlsinte-
CRATE. and utterly destroy every representa-
tive force In party councils. and to nullify
the States great influence. The suggestion
Of such thing could proceed only from

New York will send solid delegation Of

A Tremendous Difference.

The difference between the Hon. ROGER
@. MILLS. recently the CLEVELAND candidate
for Speaker. who has declared his freedom
to fight his colleagues in the matter OF deal
Ing with the tariff. and the late SAMUEL j.
RANDALL. is this:
Mr.. RANDALL was moved into conflict
with the controlling influences of his
party out Of respect for two principles. One
was the natural resentment Of Demo-
Gratis against the ferocious effort OF
excited factionists to revolutionize the
party OF JEFFERSON and T1LDEN into
a party Of free trade. This was prop
osition SO outrageous and fanatical that the
Democrats who. with Mr.. RANDALL. had
labored and won for their party during tho
preceding epoch in politics. opposed it with
indignation.
Mr.. MILLS Is now bent upon precisely this
same disintegrating and contracting pur-
pose Of trimming the Democracy with the
free trade knife. His programme Is made
up Of n tariff bill eliminating every ele-
ment Of protection"
The other and more decisive reason for
Mr.. RASDALL's memorable resistance to
the transforming policy Of the free traders
was that it would beat the Democratic
party He was Democrat first and always.
Mr.. MILLS has reached the stage Of eco
nomic theorlzing In which the glories and
triumphs OF politics have faded. and. having
been defeated as candidate for the Speak
ership. he Is for smashing the tariff with
the fury OF Statesman Invested OF all
other hopes and responsibilities. His policy
would lead his party straight to defeat.
Between SAMUEL j. RANDALL as he was.
and ROGER @. MILLS as he has appeared
since rising into prominence in the days Of
CLEVELAND. there Is all the radical differ
ence between a Democrat and free trader

poe 70 spplyit % the nsxt Prudential
election. It 10 20 60 into erect In 1853.
That h sound conclusion. for II will great
ly diminish tho opposition to the measure.
Whether IL will dispose entirely Of the OBJ
jections Of those Democratic legislators
who represent constituencies the voters Of
which will be affected adversely by the
adoption of the law Is another question; but
at all events tho measure is free from the
reproach OF discrimination and partiality.
for It treats all tho electors alike. Whether
an annual personal registry is absolutely
needed to preserve the integrity Of the fran
chise In the thinly settled farming regions
OF New York is q question which will be an
swered one way by some. and otherwise by
others: but upon one point all may DO
agreed. and that point Is this: that the Re-
publican party will not sustain. ss the result
OF the adoption OF this law. the losses which
are apprehended by its leaders.
The computation has boon made that this
law will cut down tho Republican vote in
the State by 10000: but 1t Is quite GER
tain that 1t will do nothing Of the kind.
In the first place. the assumption that the
strength OF the Republican party in New
York Is chiefly and almost exclusively In
the backwoods counties is an error.
In the second place. II, as expected. the
Republican vote. after 1899. is diminish
cd in the villages Of New York on &C.
count OF tho new law. the party would be
compelled. by the adoption Of q more pro-
gressive policy. to look for recruits in the
big cities. and II the lesson Of the three
great States Of New York. Pennsylvania.
and Ohio counts for anything. the Republic
cans are. at this time. far more In the way Of
gaining supporters in the cities and towns
than they are in the farming regions.
These considerations Of party expediency
ought not. Of course. to govern the Legis-
lature In the determination OF a question
which affects the convenience Of great
majority OF the voters OF the State. Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike. But that they
will enter into the discussion is inevitable.
and for that reason the true facts Of the
case should DO clearly understood.

IN another column Of this newspaper an
esteemed correspondent expresses his disap-
prevail OF recent article In THE Sun. in which
tho story told by young woman on the lecture
platform. to the effect that she Is q native Of
East Greenland and escaped with other natives
from that isolated region by a sledge journey
to Iceland. was not treated as necessarily q
true statement OF facts.
The position OF our correspondent that the
world Is called upon, under any circumstances.
to accept as true the statements Of persons
assuming to como from unknown regions
with very remarkable and improbable stories.
unconfirmed BY satisfactory evidence. is not
tenable. Our correspondent has not called in
question the fairness and accuracy Of The
Suns statement OF this young woman's claims
Here is the gist Of her story in the words Of
reliable man. q manufacturer OF West
Winsted. Conn.,:
"This Young woman claims TO be . native Eskimo
from tho northeast coast OF Greenland Her story
that at the age Of 16 she ourneysd with her
and two other native families. in company with
shipwrecked Icesnd Sailors the leo slcdges from
Greenland TO Iceland: that she educated in Ice
land and came with smgrants from there to Manitoba
and from there to the United States whsre she now
lives"
II this young lecturer fortifes her story with
scintilla OF evidence. documentary. circum-
stantial or otherwise. that will pass muster In
this critical age. 1t Is worthy Of the widest
publicity.
This column could be filled with the testi.
mony OF explorers to the effect that Denmark
Strait. between Greenland and Iceland. is
never highway for sledGes. It Is a region Of
winter rains. Of high wind storms. and OF a
strong current. driving ice to and fro. It's
temperature is comparatively high. The
greatest cold experienced by HOLM during the
winter OF 1S84-5 was FL below zero (Fahr.l

4 NewberrY Sluggiag Match.

Newberry has caught the sparring
fever and on Monday afternoon there
was a stand-to between two Of the
Newberry youths. The town council
would not permit them to charge an
admission fee. but they had the spar
ring all the same and passed around
the ha. and took up collection:
The combatants were G. G. Stewart
and Robert T.. Kibler. The seconds OF
Stewart were Henry Caldwell and
Geo. 6. Jones the seconds Of Kibler
were Joe. Eddy and Jno. Blats. Ref
cree, H. II. Evans and time keepers,
n. L. Spearman and R. 81. Wearn.
Each round lasted two minutss with
one for rest.
The Herald and News was not present
but has gained the facts from eye wit
nesses. Up to the fourth round Stewart
seemed to have the best of it but at
the end of the match Kibler is said to
have been in the lead. There were nine
rounds and the game was called and
no one pronounced winner.
They say there was no science dis
played-it was simply a sluggiug
match.
It seems to US that these young men
might find better employment for the
exercise of their muscle.
There was pretty good attendance
and the hat collection amounted to
