Tides.

The following is given in brief rs the
theory most generally entertained by sci
entists, with n few exceptions, concerning
tides: 1t Is assumed that the moon, acting
alone, would not only raise wave on tho
side of the earth nearest to IL by gravita-
ton, but would also draw the earth itself
far enough out of its course TO leave be-
hind some of the water on the farther side,
which water would thcn bo raised relative
ly TO the carth's surface and constitute
tho second tidal wave The sun alone
would act similorly, although it's tide
raising effect Is only about two-ffths that
of the moon New, at new moon the sun
and moon "pull together" and give high
or tides than at the ilrst and third quar-
ters, when the san draws It's right angles
to the line Of the moons attraction, and
at full moon, when the sun is on tho OPP
posite side of the earth from the moon,
virtually tho samC effect Is observed ms nj

tion of the sun would again be superim.

splendid vocal artists headed by Miss Martha

Italian method she uses will be study for all
students. She has attracted great deal of
attention and praise by her beautiful singing
at ST. Marks Church in New York and those

Today would have been great day for

POPULAR JOE JEFFERSON
Success Has Done Good To This Gentleman
of the Old School.

Oh the Ola Scboois
Now and then you see Joseph jefferson
In New York at the Players club or about
town, and delightful character that old
man is. That he is the most popular man
yet on the stage as n man, aside from his
position as an actor, Is undoubted. 1t may
be that it is his impersonation of that fine
old vaeabond Rip Van Wrinkle that makes
one admire him, or 1t mQy bo the person
ality Of tho man. But, at any rate, you
like him when you meet him. The friends
of Mr. .Jefferson's manhood have for the
most part passed away. Booth and Wal
lack and Barrett, the splendid McCul-
lough 1t may be that Jefferson has con-
served his forces better than did the
others. He never had the drinking habits
of Booth and Mccullough, and physically
he was not so weak as Barrett and some
other men, SO he has outlasted them.
II would seem after all that a mans
temperament has good deal to do with
his success, and .Jefferson's is happy one
Success has done him good, as it does not
some men. 1t Is pleasant to see the old
actor in any social gathering. Every actor
Il not gentleman, any more than every
gentleman Is an actor. But Joseph Jeffer-
son is gentleman always on or Off the
stage. Not the Beau Brummel sort of
gentleman or the modern sort who wears
wide trousers, chews gum, sneers at his
mother and says things about the fit of his
fathers clothes
1t is relief to meet gentleman of the
old school now and again, one Of the sort,
don't you know that Thackeray drew. in
Colonel Esmond. Joseph Jefferson is
about as good type Of the old school gen.
tleman as you can find, and in these days,
when the now man and the new woman
arc running things, IL il well TO go back
to old ideals.-New York Letter.

s,nator Faulkner on silver.


Senator Faulkner regards the silver
question as likely 10 mako IAN ugly
split" in the Democratic party. This is
possible, yet it Is worthy OF notice that
the commendablc efforts OF the admin
istraiion arc bringing many wanderers
back into the honest money fold and
lining I'D on the right side many Demo-
Gratis who were uncertain which way to
20. In addition to this Democrats as
wei! as men OF othe: parties are reading
and thinking, which is always good Tor
n cause which rests on 4 solid iounda-
ton.
Senator Faulkner could help along
the GOOD work in West Virginia il he
would only come out squaroly for an
honest dollar. Ills idea that it would
be q good compromise to agree to the
free coinage OF the product OF the Amer
lean silver mines is not q good n We
have no need OF SO much additional
coinage. and no reason is apparent why
tue country shall give to the silver pro-
ducers SO large 4 bounty on their
p~roAnct.
According to the mint report just
made public the market value OF the
silver produced in this country Last
veal was S??S,754,OOl. If the producers
could have turned that into the mint
and had i, coined free they would have
received for it S5S,545,O0O. This would
have been equivalent to n government
bounty OF so. 79l, 900 or more than 100
per cent.
The farmer gets no bounty OF his
products, the wage-earner get none on
hi, labor, the merchant gets none on
the volume OF business he does. What
gives the silver producer a greater
claim?
