SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING oHAPAERs.

Simon Kenton, a hunter. whose deeds
along the Ohio and Kentucky frontier
were second only to those of the great
Boone, while threading his way through
the depths of the Kentucky wilderness
100 years ago, discovered that in spite of
his precautions to cover his trail, the
fierce Shawanoes, who, led by their
famous Panther, were in hot pursuit,
had traced him. With audacious cum
ming, yet conscious Of his awful peril,
he renowned trapper and Indian fighter
lodged behind the trunk of a tree. The
red men had seen him, despite his cum
ming. and before long, as we shall see,
KentOn was between two fires.
KentOn's adventure with the Indians
brings him in contact with young George
Ashbri6Fe, who is following the river
bank while looking for the fiatboat in
which are his father. mother and sister.
The smoke from a distant campfire
causes the pair TO be on the alert for

cumbersome fiatboat, with the long

into sight upstream.

Two Kinds of Physical Death.

There are two kinds of physical death
constantly going on in the world
molecular death and somatic death. The
first is expressed in other words by saw
ing that the whole of the body is con-
stantly being worn out and being re-
newed. Every action that we perform.
every breath we draw and every thought
we think is each accompanied by the
death of a certain amount Of muscular
or nervous tissue, so that molecular
death is a certain part of daily life
Somatic death is a. death of the entire
individual and is generally considered to
take place at the moment of cessation Of
circulation and respiration. This is not
an absolute test, however. as several
well known cases prove. A peculiar case
was that of a man who could by the

Antiquity of the THERMOMETERS.

Hero of Alexandria, who lived about
100 b. c., is usually given the credit of
having been the original inventor Of an
instrument for measuring the heat and
cold of the atmosphere. This early
thermometer continued in use until about
the close of the sixteenth century. 1t
was then reduced to more convenient
form by one Sanctonio. an Italian. Dur
ing the following century it was improv-
ed upon by several different persons,
especially Fahrenheit. In 1920 this man

other details which chiefly render the

instrument of practical utility which it
is at the present time.

The Minneapolis Journal Of last
Friday contains the following regard
ing the work Of the Minneapolis fresh
air fund workers in and around this
city:
Interesting and humorous scenes
continue to be narrated about the lit
tie ones arrival at the farms. A little
fellow of more than ordinary intelli
gence up at Redwood Falls discovered
hen on the nest and frightened her
off. The nest was a hidden one and
there were several eggs in it. He had
head of setting hens and when the
fowl few off he concluded it was set
ting. With considerable alarm he
chased after it and finally catching the
hen was attempting to force it to re-
main>on the nest when the farmer with
whom he was stopping happened in
and asked him wha: he was doing.
The little fellow explained and the
farmer could hardly repress his laugh
ter, but managed to do so fairly we'll
until he had explained to the lad that
the hen was merely laying an egg and
that she left the nest of her own ac-
cord. Many as amusing and peculiar
incidents happen every day.
The next party to leave the city will
go Tuesday to Amboy in charge of
Mrs. r. S. Smith. Next Wednesday
will be one of the liveliest days in the
history of the movement Two mar
ties,aggregating about As persons, will
return, one from Redwood Falls and
the other from Lake City. For the
purpose Of learning how the parties
are treated in the homes of those that
take them, Mrs. Mary D. Plumb, of
Hope Chapel, will go to Redwood
Falls the coming week and will remain
several days visiting the members Of
the party at that point now.

WANT SOME CREDIT.

Will not Friend Whitney, Of the
Marshall News Messenger, give Red
wood Falls just little credit for it's
crack battery, if it succeeds in win
ming the championship of the State
for Marshall? Redwood Falls can
turn down the Marshall club, but not
withstanding. this Marshall will have
the championship laurels, if the game
is won from St. James. In the last
issue of his great paper he writes up
prospectus of the game without ev-
en- crediting the battery to this city,
referring to the brilliant players in
the following complimentary Ian
guage:
Everyone knows what Dickson and
Buxton will do. Buxton is by all
means the prettiest and most effective
catcher in any amateur club in this part
of the State, while Dickson's work in
the box for the past is a sufficient guar
antee for the present. He has struck
out % batters out of u. and unless the
St. James men are phenomenal bat
tiers, he is pretty sure to retire at least
dozen of them on wind-pounding.
In his last game, with Redwood Falls
against St. Peter, he struck out Il out
of the ~ men at bat, and only gave
them three actual hits. Considering
that the pitcher has been handicapped
by being placed back six feet further
from the batter, his work holds up re-
markably. Dickson's only failing is an
aptness to lose perfect control of his
curves at an exciting turn of the game
and deliver straight balls, but this is a
fault he is rapidly overcoming.

Daddy's Darling.

A dear, quaint,eccentric, backwoods
old daddy, is George Paige, and a
beautiful rough diamond, eventually
polished, a regular Daddy's Darling
is Clara Paige. ''Daddy's Darling
was played Tuesday night. The story
is of the son of a wealthy New York
widow wedding beautiful, yet uned-
ucated girl of the Adirondacks, who
runs away from her husband, secures
an education, and then returns in all
the pristine glory of a city belle. Mr.
Paige, as her Adirondacks daddy min
giles pathos with humor, at times rich

of talent, rises from her backwoods
station to the cultivated girl Of soci-

of true artist, and makes Mercy"

one falls in love with. Mrs. Paige as
sumed double role of the wealthy
city mother and the old maid looking
for q husband with her usual success.
Billy Paige also took a double role,
and for the first time showed that his
stage talents were rapidly developing.
Mr.. Twitchell was an ideal Jack Hen

while Mr.. Grindell always kept the
eccentric character of Philander Potts
conspicuously before the audience.

SOME TRAMP WITTICISMS.

That species of man known as the
non-laboring journeyman is not with
out having it's masters of wit, and in
many instances it is real bright wit.
Happening around among three or
four groups of these fellows during
the past two OF three weeks the fol-
lowing was heard:
my two pards and l we're going to
work last week, just as the nights
were becoming cool. We hired out to
a farmer out west just as the sun
was going down. When we went to
retireour shelter was the canopy of
the heavens, and our covering leath-
er fly net for all three. We strayed
away during the night"

day by having one of these threshing

Man and Master.

Exclusive comedy, Or minstrelsy, is
the delight Of the American theatre
going public at the present time. Oc-
casionally, if . play runs red in blood,
the feminine portion will shiyer, the
rear and galleries will roar, and both
will return home lauding the enter
tainment. A comedy drama like "Man
and Master" was never written for this
period, but for an age Of study Of hui
man nature by all. The Paiges inter-
probation Of the beautiful romance is
almost as the author would have it.
Mr.. Paige makes alaughable Jerry AN
earnest Jerry, and musical Jerry,
just when Jerry should be that way,
and his Irish brogue is real Irish, and
SO Jerry's appearance is always looked
for. Mr.. Grindell has the physique,
the voice, for Jas. O'Neill, the perse-
cuted ex-planter, and his metamor-
phose into the hunchback jailor, is
excellent. Mr.. Twitchell is that kind
Of a villain that everyone hates, and
as Gerald Stone the hatred of the
audience was sufficient recommend
alton for his efforts. Mr.. King
should never attempt paternal parts,
because he was not intended for them.
Mrs. Paige,as Florence Sinclair, makes
a jolly hopeful daughter and sister,
with just enough dash to make the
part interesting, while the charming
soubrette Clara Paige, as "Chick, :"
mingles grace with vivacity, innocence
with knowledge, daring with right,
making "Chick" the most interesting
part of the play. The balance of the
support was better than with most
companies.
Stanley & Holmes constitute one of
the best sketch teams travelling. They
are all music, mirth provoking laugh
ter, and make a fitting climax to an
evenings entertainment.

A SECOND CONSOLIDATION.
The Francois and Commercial
Again Beat as One.

For second time the Commercial
and Hotel Francois have. consolidated,
and are now under the management
of A. w. Taber, who has been propri-
etor of the Francois for several weeks
past. The deal was consummated last
Monday afternoon, when Mr.. Taber
secured a five years lease of the Com
mercial, conditional that meals for the
patrons of both hotels, would be served
at that hosiery alone. The arrange
ment went into effect Tuesday morn
ing.
Mr.. Taber claims that he was losing
money on the Francois, and the only
alternative was to secures lease of the
Commercial, and run the two in con-
nection with each other
Mr.. Bailey will not reside at the
Commercial any longer. In what
house he will take.up his abode is not
known. He wants rest from the hotel

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1893-01-05

A very singular story is told coucern-
ing the vagaries of one mass of globe
lightning. A tailor in the Rue St.
Jacques, in the neighborhood of the Val
de Grace, was getting his dinner one
day during a thunderstorm when he
heard a loud clap, and soon the chimney
board fell down, and globe of fire as
big as child's head came out quietly
and moved slowly about the room at a
sa Ill height above the floor. The spec
titor, in conversation afterward with
NJ. Babbinet, of the Academic des
Sciences said 1t looked like good sized
kitten rolled up into ball and moving
without showing its paws. 1t was bright
and shining, yet he felt no sensation of
heat. The globe came near his feet, but
by moving them gently aside he avoided
the contact.
After trying several excursions in diff
ferent directions it rose vertically to the
height of his head which he threw
back to prevent it touching him
steered toward a hole in the chimney
above the mantclpiece, and made its
way into the fiue. Shortly afterward- -
''when he supposed it had had time to
reach the top" the tailor said--there
was a dreadful explosion, which de-
stroyed tho upper part of the chimney
and threw the fragments on TO the roofs
of some adjoining buildings, which they
broke through. Chamber journal.

Her Only Thought,

1t was one of the days when the wind
blows suddenly and sharply around the
corners, when tho dust whirls in clouds
and the air has hard, cold dainpness
which goes straight through any coat
except a fur one. Away up town on
one Of the western avenues where cheap
shops are kept on the ground floor Of
cheap fiat houses woman stood by a
window with a baby in her arms Her
dress was shabby and 80 thin that the
wind went through it as through sieve.
The baby had wooden frock and
worgted coat and cap, and seemed to be
warm enough as he burrowed upon the
womens shoulder and dug his sprawl
ing little fingers into her eyes.
In the shop window We're displayed
two kinds OF garments. On one side
were Women's woolen petticoats and all
kinds of heavy cotton Undertaking,
which looked warm and comfortable.
But this woman did not see them, for
slie was looking on the other side Of the
window, where We're shown little knitted
hoods and tippets Of white, fossv stuff
and babies inittens and babie8' shoes
and babies fancy caps, with ribbons in
them.-Gew York Times.

TEE WARNER MURDER TRIAL.
Judge Garrison's Charge-The Case in
the Juryt,s Hands.

MT. HOLLY, N. j., Jan. 5.-1he opening
argument yesterday for the prosecution in
the Wesley Warner murder case was made
by Prosecutor H. z. Budd, who after
briefly reviewing the evidence stated that
he would insist that Warner was guilty of
murder in the first degree. For the de-
fense Charles X. Chambers made u long
argument, in which he endeavored to show
by citations from the testimony that War
ner was so completely under the influence
of liquor for days prior to the murder that
he was incapable of wilfully committing
the crime with which he is charged. Il,
llendrickson made the closing argument
for the defense, ia which he said the state
had failed to prove that Warner was lying
in wait for any one, but 1t had proved that
he was in such II condition from drink that
he did not know what he was doing.

HARRITY ON THE NEW BALLOT.
Pennsylvania's Secretary Offers Sugges.
tions for It's improvements.

HARRISBURG, Jan. 5.--Seeretary Harrity,
in his annual report, refers to the defects
in the ballot law, and makes some sugges.
tions for the benefit of the legislature. He
thinks that nominations made by nominn
tion papers, which do not have attached
thereto the number of signers as required
forany state or district nomination s, should
not be certified to county commissioners
and sheriffs as directed in section 10 of the
act. The reason for this addition is that
no authority is given in any part of the
act TO any one to determine what is the
required per centum of the vote at the pre-
yious election in the district from which q
nomination paper purports to come.
1t is suggested that section 4 should be
SO changed as to set out clearly what polit
ical appelation may or may not be used
by parties making nominations by nomi
nation papers, and that the time for filing
objections to nomination papers and Gel
tificates be reduced at least one-half
Regarding the form of ballot he says:
I'm justice to the several political parties
compelled to make nominations by nomi-
nation papers, this section should be so
amended as to allow their nominations to
manner as nominations made by certificate
of nominations"
Further he suggests that the manner OF
marking the ballot by the voters could be
simplilied by. providing that one cross
mark opposite the party name or appella-
ton at the head of the list of candidates
shall be considered as a vote for all the
candidates OF that party.
