Yesterday morning the news was re-
ceIyed BY tho city authorities here that
o gang Of commonwcalers, q remnant OF
Keiiy's industrial army that had dis
banded near Huntington, waI on tts
way up tho Ohio River railroad, and
would arrive about the noon hour. The
fact that hobocs were coming soon
became generally known over tho city
and the usual curiosity showed every
where. After d conference Of the au'
thoriLios it was decided not TO
allow the commonwcalcrs TO enter
the city in a body, and Chief
McNichol went down to the
county and city limo at FOrty.eichth
street With the night squad Of tho torce'
accom- panied by Mayor Caldwell. By
their direction the freight train which
carried the commouwealeEs was stopped
below tho county line, and admission to
the city refused. Tho good work oil
the police was highly crcditablo. the
mon turning out at short notice IN goo1
time.
The wanderers seemed glad TO got out
OF tho hot freight cars, aud when all
were out il was found that their ioFce
had been overestinatOd, q count chow
ing thore we're but twenty-five or thirty
OF them. When the gang boarded the
train below Parkersburg they number
ed noarly ono hundred, but q number
were left behind at Parkersburg and
others dropped of at Sistorsvillo aud
other towns above Marietta. When
they were out OF the cara most oil tnem
made break for tho Ohio, whoro thoy
were coon sporting with the waye1esS.
During tho afternoon tho hoboes 6e'
camo scattered. a North Bonwood man
paid the street car fares for ten. several
others sneaked their way up town, aud
others remained In North Benwood.
Ten were reported as having started
ION to Washington" via tho pike.
Those who remained in tho vicinity
we're provided with printed songs COM

Tho following is one Of the songs;
We've started out Tor Washington

Its protection is one of its valuable attributes.
A burglar was once asked by person visiting
him after his conviction what sort of weapon or
means of defense his fraternity most feared, "a
light he answered. More dreaded than the
electric burglar alarms, are the electric buttons
set close to the bed the pushing of which floods
the rooms and halls with brilliancy. A man
showing some friends over his new house. paused
at the top of the cellar stairs. "YOu hear noise
down there said he sententiOusly, you stand
on this landing press the button shoot your
burglar, turn off your current, and go to bed.'
1t is fact that burglars have to learn their trade
anew to combat with this Illuminating force.

How the World will End.

According to all probability notwithstanding
all the circumstances which threaten it, our
planet will die not of an accident, but natural
DEATH That death will be the consequence of
the extinction of the sun in 10000, 900 years or
mOre-perhaps 10000, 00O-since it's condensation
at relatively moderate rate will give it, on one
hand, II 100000 years of existence, while on the
other hand the inevitable fall of meteOrs into
the sun may double this number. Even if you
suppose the duration of the sun to be prolonged
to 40 100000 years it is still incOnteStable that
the radiation from the sun cOOls it and that the
temperature of all bodies tends to an equilibrium
The day will come when the sun will be extinct.
Then the earth and all the other planets of our
system will cease to be the abode of life. They
will be erased from the great book and will re-
volve, black cemeteries around an extinguished
sun.
Will these planets continue to exist even
then? Yes prOpable in the case of Jupiter and
perhaps Saturn. No. beyond a dOnbt for the
small bodies, such as the earth, Venus, Mars,
Mercury and the moon. Already the moon APP
pears to have preceded us toward the final des-
ert. Mars is much further advanced than the
earth toward the same destiny. Venus, younger
than us, will doubtless survive us. These little
worlds lose their elements of vitality much
faster imam the sun loses us neat. FROM cen
fury to century, from year to year. from day to
day, from hour to hour. the surface of the earth
is transformed. On the one hand. the CONT
nents are crumblng away and becoming covered
by the sea, which insensible and by very slow
degrees tends to invade and submerge the entire
globe. On the other hand. the amount of water
on the surface of the globe is diminishing. A
careful and reasonable calculation shows that
by the action of erosure alone all the land on
