Special HERALD Correspondence
PoTTsvILLE, Aug. 2s.--The selection of
Burd W. Payne, of Ashland, as chairman
of the Republican party of this county
may be a wise one and the very thing
needed, since, am told he is not mixed
up with any Of the factions; but had either
Losch, Davis or Shoener been selected
believe all factions would have been
united and the satisfaction would have
been more general 1t would have been
rs an olive branch. As it is, have heard
1t intimated that Mr.. Paynes appoint
ment will not be of very great benefit TO
Stine, the Republican candidate for the
Legislature in the Second district. Why
il should be injurious to him no one seems
disposed to say. But the choice has now
been made. Ashland has county repre-.
sentation and it is the duty of every Re
publican to get down to work, so that if
the new chairman is made of the stuff
required the party may go to the goal of
victory, which is in sight and can be
reached with little trouble
One thing should be remembered As
the candidates must pay the piper it was
| no more than right that they should name
the gentleman who is to handle the cam
paign. IL he fails to come up to their eX-
pectations the lack of foresight will rest
with those who selected him. Meanwhile
Mr.. Payne should be given fair show
and the hearty support of the party.

Idea PeddIers In Chicago.

There are three men in Chicago
who make a fairly good living by
marketing ideas. That's their busi-
ness. Suppose a man opens new
restaurant. The idea" man goes
into the place and says: "Why not
put up sign that you'll give dish
Of cream free to every red-headed
mau2 1t would cause talk"
If the restaurant man adopts the
suggestion the "idea" man expects
to be paid for it.
He writes poetry for soaps and
patent medicines, and submits it to
the proprietors. If they like it he
names his price At the big retail
stores he drops in and confdes new
end startling schemes for advertis-
ing. He goes to the theatrical man
agcr and says: Here, wouldn't this
be a good catch l:neo"
Day by day he pokes into other
peoples business, and is we'll paid
for it, because, after all, there is
nothing more valuable than ideas of
the right kind.-Chicago Record.

1t Would Never Do.

Oh, no, it would never do to have
a husband and wife partners at the
whist table. 1t is a well-known fact
that people who have played part
ners in whist are forever after
either open or covert enemies.
Think, then, of the terrible conse-
quences in case the partners were
man and wife! The wife would
lecture her husband all night and
every night on how he ought to
have played, and the husband would
nuke q bear of himself, and all be-
cause she happened to trump his
trick or failed to return his lead.
Oh, no, 'twould never do. The d.
vorce courts are overworked as 1t is.

Survivors of NapoIeon's Army.

One of the French papers, which
has been devoting great deal of at
tention to Napoleon Bonaparte Of
late, has been entertaining it's read
ers by having a census made Of the
survivors of Napoleon's grand army.
-Four of these men only are now left.
The eldest is Jean Jacques Sabatier,
who was born on the 18th of April,
1892, at Vernoux lArdeche, where
he has lived in retirement for many
years. Then come Victor Baillod,
Jean Bousset and Joseph Rose,
aged respectively one hundred and
one years and one month, one hun
dred years and one month and one
hundred years and q few days.
It is said that all are as hearty
and vigorous as can be expected, in
spite of their experiences as long as
eighty-two years ago in that ter
rible retreat, when the beggarly
remnant Of the greatest army the
world has ever seen, worn out with
cold and hunger, angrily called to
the victor of Marengo and Auster-
litz to get off his horse and share in
the miseries of his men.

BEEHLER'S SOLAROMETER.
1t Was Praised In Europe and viii
Now Be Used In Our Navy,

Now Be Used In Our Navy.
Lieut.. W. H. Beehler, United
States navy, who arrived in Balti-
more recently from Bremen, brought
with him his solarometer, which
was tested in France and Germany
and on the voyage besides. Lieut..
Beehler and the officers of the
Weimar took one hundred and
eighty-nine observations of the sun
and stars at all hours of the day and
night, and the ships latitude,
longitude and compass errors were
ascertained by the solarometer with
accuracy. Upon arrival at Bremen
Lieut.. Beehler took the solarometer
to Paris, where he explained it to
M. Gautier, the celebrated Partisan
astronomical instrument maker,
who has q contract for making the
solarometers in France. BY request
Lieut.. Beehler also exhibited the
solarometer to the officers of the
French navy at the ministry of ma
rine ct colonies, in Paris.
At the German naval observatory
in Hamburg the professors and
astronomers evinoed the greatest
interest in the instrument, and ex-
pressed their approval Of It's prin-
ciples and their admiration Of its
mechanical design.
The solarometer now on board the
Weimar will be taken to Washing
ton to serve as a standard for the
tests of six solarometers now in
course Of construction. The iron
work observatory domes for these
instruments are being made. AS
soon as the six new solarometers
are constructed they will be put
into service. One Of them has been
ordered by the navy department,
and will probably be mounted on the
armored cruiser New York or the
flag ship Of the North Atlantic
squadron.-N. Y. Advertiser.
