The races at Hazel Dell Driving Park
Monday afternoon resulted as follows


The Supreme Court of the United
States Monday sustained the Edison
incandescent light patent against the
claim of the Consolidated Electric
Light Co., using tho Sawyer Mann
system, of which it was claimed that
the Edison system was an infringe
ment. The Court said that the claims
made for the Sawyer-Mann patent were
too broad TO sustain the patent. The
result of this decision, it is said, is to
throw open both systems to the public.
The SAWYER Mann patent is invalid,
and the Edison patent expired Just a
year ago on Monday, under the opera
tion of the decision in the Bate refrig
Grating patent case.

AN IN4EREsTIAG LECTURE.


rrof. Phillips of West Chester Delivers "a
spiendid address on ''Astronomy."
Prof. G. NJ. Phillips, principal of
the West Chester Normal School de-
livered an interesting and instru' tive
lecture on Astronomy" at the High
School Monday afternoon. The large
assembly room of tho school was we'll
filled and the speaker hold the atten-
tion of his hearers throughout. It
was one of the most entertaining lee
lures of the Teachers Association
course.
The lecturer described the planets
and the stars and the earth in eucn a
manner as TO be instructive to the
most learned. Probably tho most in
teresting feature of the discourse was
that portion about the sun. He ex-
planned the cause of its heat by saying
that ii was originally mass of vapor.
but it is contracting into solid, and
it is the contraction that produces the
heat. He also explained that every
action on the earth is tho indirect
result of the SUMS heat, and made the
assertion that if the sun were TO be-
come cold the temperature on the earth
would go down to about 500 degrees
below zero and that such thing will
eventually happen.
The planets were taken up and dis
cussed in turn, and the influences of
the moon on the earth were explained.
Meteors and comets were also dis
cussed
After the speaker had finished he
was heartily applauded.

Ihe delaware Senator's Naino again Prom
inentiy Urged for the Supreme Court Va
cancy-He Calls Upon Attorney-Generai
Harmon.
Philadelphia Times special.
Washington, Nov. lit seems
quite likely that Senator Gray of Della
ware, may be appointed Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court to succeed
the late Justice Howell d. jackson of
Tennessee.
The name of Senator Gray has been
frequently mentioned in this connec-
tion, but il has been assumed that his
appointment might be prevented on ac-
count of tho closeness Of political lines
in the Senate, because it would result
in the election of Republican to sue
coed him. Since the recent elections,
however, which indicate that the Re-
publicans will control the Senate in
February, when the Utah Senators
arrive, and will have stronger con
trol during the Fifty-fifth Congress,
that objection to the appointment of
Senator Gray has passed away.
Senator Gray was in Washington this
morning, and called upon Attorney
General Harmon in company with
Senators Hill and Murphy of New
York. 1t is understood that the New
York Senators were here to withdraw
their recommendation of New York
man for the position, and to express
their willingness TO support Senator
Gray in the matter. The three Sena-
tors had conference with Secretary
Lamont before calling upon the
Attorney General and that was also
significant, because Secretary Lamont
is personally closer to the President
than any official in the National Cabi
net
The nomination of Senator Gray
would promptly settle the question.
He would be confirmed without oppo-
sition and without moments delay.
He is popular and perfectly equipped
for the exalted position.

4 SIGNIFICANT OMISSION.

It seems to Indicate That Salisbury Does
Not Regard the Venezuelan Question as of
Much Importance.
Washington. Nov. 12.-Lord Sails
bury's failure to mention the Venezue-
Ian question in his Guild Hall speech
is regarded as most significant omis-
sion.
The speech summed up the premier's
position on all the foreign questions re-
eartled as of pressing Importance, SO
that this avoidance of all mention of
Venezuela is construed to mean that
the premier attaches less Importance
to it, and to the controversy over the
Monroe doctrine, than has been sup
pOsed,

FIRE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
Loss of $4,000 at the Factory OF Tad
man g. Hickman.

The factory of Tadman 4 Hickman,
manufacturers of glazed kid, on Fourth
street between Orange and Tatnall, was
damaged by fire on Sunday afternoon.
The loss, which is covered by insur-
ance. is generally estimated at about
$4,000, but the proprietors are not
ready to give out figures.
The fire originated in the boiler room
and gained considerable headway be-
fore an alarm was struck. The delay
in summoning tho fir9men was caused
by the key TO box No. 2.2, at Third
and Tatnall streets, being locked up in
the Office of the Wilmington Abattoir
and Gold Storage Co.
The tiremen got the flames under
control soon after their arrival.

FIEE BOX hEYS.
They Must be Put Who're They Will be
Accessible at All Times.

Accessible at All Times.
The Board of Police Commissioners,
last evening, instructed Superintendent
Aydon of the Police and Fire Alarm
telegraph TO have all fire alarm box
keys put where they will be accessible
at all times This action resulted from
the fact that the sounding of the alarm
on Sunday was delayed by the key
being locked up.
Chief Engineer Walker of the Fire
Department stated Monday that he
will ask Superintendent Aydon TO put
several keys in the vicinity of boxes
located in districts where great deal
of valuable property could be consumed
in short time.
Assistant Engineer Sasse said that
in some cities the keys are hung in
small boxes adjoining the alarm boxes
and can only be taken out by breaking
the glass. He was of the opinion that
such an arrangement would not work
in Wilmington.
