The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-07-29

All, what is the matter down there
In Alabama? The State election comes
OF there next Monday. and there
seems to be an unnecessary amount OF
excitement, when it is tact that there
Is no wicked" Republican ticket in
the field. The Democrats are left to
have all the fun to themselves this
time, and they have divided of and
nominated two tickets, one of which
Ia called the regular" Democratic
ticket and the other the Farmers Al
lance Democratic" ticket Governor
Thomas g. Jones is the candidate of
the regular Democrats, and Captain
Kolb is the candidate of the Alliance
Democrats. Jones was elected two
years ago by $1,000 majority, but from
the excitement now raging 1t does not
look as II he would be elected at all.

against Republicans, why they are not

A telegram from Col. p. S. Gilmore
announces tina: he will arrive here
next Wednesday, afternoon with his
band of 100 pieces in time to open the
Exposition that evening. This is the
ninth annual exposition, and its eight
successful seasons easily break Ill rec
ords, and disprovc the oft-repcatcd as
sertion that IL is impossible to main
tain interest in local enterprise of
this kind. Last years attendance was
the largest recorded, and The indica-
tions point to still greater success this
year.
A band composed'of 100 skilled mu-
sicians, each soloist of established
reputation, is something the world has
seldom seen or heard, and the advent
of Gilmore's band in the West marks
distinct epoch in musical annals. The
great bandmaster completes an engage
ment in New York Tuesday morning,
and special train with banners and
streamers will bring him and his 100
players to the metropolis of the West
and Southwest. The Gilmore concerts
will be given daily until Oct. 90, and
the modest admission fee of 25 cents in
cludes these concerts, as well as the
grand displays of manufactured and
ornamental goods, the art gallery with
its thousands of valuable and choice
paintings, the electrical exhibition,
and indeed, every feature of the NAM
moth entertainment. A number of
other attractions are announced and
the program is very brilliant one.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. This is the sec

which will be repeated on Saturday
and Monday, and also on Sept. IS, 22,
and 90, as well as on Oct. 1, 4, 9, Is,
and 20. The display to-day was far
grander even than that of last week,
every set piece, panorama and arch
having been carefully overhauled, and
improvements made in the arrange
ments and apparatus wherever thought
advisable. The city is full of visitors,
and tourists are arriving every day
from all parts of the continent and
also from Europe. The special rail-
road rates are greatly increasing the
attendance and the carnival of 1892
has already made itself marked sue
cess as well as distinct feature in
national as well as local history. The
st. Louis electric car system is admit
tedly the finest in the world, but it
has been taxed to the utmost this
afternoon and evening. A large num-
Der of new cars are being constructed
and deliveries are expected immedi-
ately.

Millions of Miles Once Covered With

During the long Tertiary epoch,

Thames the earth was in the throes oil

Edinburgh Review. the Alps tn,

their glaciation. although 1t does not

America gradually. and as VIC may

to the extreme heat and pressure pre-
vailing in its interior. the earth is an
eminently elastic body. Its surface
actually bulges in or out with very
slight increase or decrease OF the
load upon 1t.
But the great ice sheet formed no
such visionary burdens as Atlas bore
upon his broad shoulders. Warren
Upham estimates that an area OF
about 4. 000. 600 square miles in North
America and another OF about 2, 000.-
600 square miles in Europe were
covered by ice sheets which in their
maximum extent had probably an
average thickness OF half or two
thirds OF mile. or perhaps even OF
one mile" The weight however of
