AN ASTRONOMICAL PHENOMENA

Planets Which Are Now Visible Soon After
Sunset
Soon after sunset may now be seen in
the west, about 40 degrees above the
horizon, Venus in all her glory. About
degrees below appears the majestic Jupi-
ter, more than thousand times larger,
but appearing less, however, and above
her shines Venus. About degrees south
east is the fiery red planet Mars. the
three making an obtuse triangle, with
Venus at tho obtuse point vision of
splendor not often seen in this work-a-
day world by the busy dollar hunter.

THE LOST IS FOUND
Young Claude Gibbs Left Home Because He
Got Whipping

uot whipping
Claude Gibbs, an S-year-old boy who
ran away from his mothers home at 900
East Third street OH Wednesday. was
brought back yesterday afternoon by a
stranger who had picked MIN up at the
river bottom. The boy had been
given his breakfast at private house
near the me arcade aepof pfovlqbasy and
abouts from the nearest store he ran off.
Claude Gibbs is a truant, and according
to the neighbors had received a whipping
from his mother which was not to his
liking. and that may account for his run
ming away. Mrs. Gibbs is not a widow.
Her husband arrived yesterday forenoon
from Redlands. The neighbors claim that
the woman leaves her two children locked
up every night in her room while she at
tended mission till half.past 10. She
was probably at the mission again last
night. as there was no sign of her at the
house, although there was light in the
room she occupies.

The Every Evening says the good tim es
hate re urued. This would DO good news
~ wete true. Business may be fair
tmong merchante, but the mass OF manu-
IA trrtrs and their employees find the
tmes dull enough. Too many men are
unemployed. and wages are too low to
ensure great prosperity, The Baltimore
aud Ohio Railroad Company failed on
Wednesday to declare their sem!.annuaI
dividend. ard we hear Of few firms which
are making money. Those who talk
about the great Improvement of the
tines In our city are tr, Ing to deceive
and mlslead the people In order to make
them vote for the Democratic party.
Such Misrepresentation will not decelv Q
any one. as every working mans expert
ence oonvinces him Of their falsity With
revenues insufficient to meet the expen.
ditures OF the Government, and our i'm
ports greatly exceeding our exports pros
perlty cannot abound, and asserting that
1t does only proves that politicians have
NO conscience and never speak the truth
when they believe that ialshood will
serve their purpose more eilectually.

Shall the Mereoeo Factory be Driven AWAY.
II would not do for our city to lose one
single manufacturing industry at this
time What our city badly nesds 10 moro
industries and the more doing busl-
ness in our city, the bettar will tho finan-
ces be amongst our merchants. 1t Ia too
bad that the Ford Morocco Company
should be put to the Unnecessary expense
OF having to answer the injunction. Issued
against their plant by the Jessup 4 Moore
Pulp works: The pulp works should
never have been located at the outlet OF
tho Silyerbrook stream and then all OF
this difficulty would havs heen avoided.
II is reported that tho watsr which reach.
es the Pulp mills from the. Silverbrook
steam la UNFIT for Them to use and puts
the works to great Inconvenience and
loss. from Its impurlty.
Again. the Silverbrook stream was here
in Delaware before ever the pulp works
located here. II by any oversight on their
part, they having spent nearly fifty thou.
sand dollars on their plant they can't get
good and pure supply of water. they
should certainly remedy the evil tho best
they can.
The Ford Morocco Company gives ON
ployment to some four hundred hands.
and this alone should give the company
some protection against being harassed
by continuous iniunctlons anu law suits.
There should be some protection to this
factory doing business. and some possible
means adopted for them to get rid of their
refuse matter without being subjected
monthly to injunctions The question is:
Shall the Ford morocco factory be driven
from our city and four hundred hands be
thrown out OF employment. which would
mean several thousand dollars weekly
takeu from our storeksepers and others?
