A SOCIALIST CANDIDATE.
Charles II. Matchett May Run For Prcsi

The man who will probably head the
national ticket of the Socialist Labor
party in the coming presidential cam
paign is Charles II. Matchett Of Brook
lyn. His name may be unfamiliar to
the average reader, but he has neverthe-
less been prominent leader in his
party, having been candidate for
mayor of Brooklyn, for governor of New
York state and for vice president Of the
United States.
Mr.. Matchett is As years old. He is a
master carpenter and we'll to do as an
artisan. He is employed by telephone
company, and says that IL he were nom
mated he would not have time to go
around the country making speeches,
but would have to stick to his work. He
says that he would probably accept the
nomination. az he would consider IL an
honor from a party which he expects
will some day be in power.
When he ran for mayor of Brooklyn,
Mr.. Matchett received 4,846 votes, while
at the previous election the Socialist
Labor party polled 300 votes. In 1899,

The Sun. the Moon and the Tides,

Most people suppose that the moon
alone is responsible for the phenomenon
of tides, but the attraction of the sun is
also an important factor. OF course the
distance of the sun from the earth is
unthinkably greater than that of the
moon, but its mass is so enormous that
it has considerable tide producing infiu-
ence. The force which the sun exerts is
the same ON both sides of the earth ut
the same time, the tide producing force
of the great orb being about four-tenths
that of the moon. At the time Of both
new and full moons the "wane spheroids
produced by both the sun and the moon
have their axes coincident' is to
say, the two great orbs unite their
energies ON the fluids Of our planet and
as a result the tides are higher than
the average for the remaining portions
of the month. These are the Spring
tides" The "neap tides" come in the
time of the moons first and third quar-
ter, and are not as great as the average,
because the moon and the SUN are each
working in opposition to the other. st.

Charles ii and several Of his attendants

We talking to man who lately
had very great and soul shifting grief.
He declared that he never would get
over it; that he couldn't; that death
had come to his household and shown
him that life was not worth living, for
directly his affections were centered ON
any special objects those objects were
removed and the void left thereby never
to be filled. He knew that others got
over such griefs, but he would prove
the exception. He couldn't get over it.
and he believed it, but as we listened
we recognized the fallacy Of his senti-
ments, for have we not buried mother,
father, baby, friend all taken when
most they were loved and needed, yet

the sky seems blue and laughter comes
spontaneously to our lips? We have not
forgotten those loved one who have
gone. We think Of them with u sweet
though missy recollection Of their per-
sonal relationship to u.s. The poignant
grief at their loss is gone; time has

shows a complete marking by a series of
stone and iron monuments of the entire
division line from the Rio Cirande TO the
Pacific ocean. about 700 miles. The prtil-
cipal work performed was in restoring the
original monuments wherever destroyed
or displaced, and erecting new ones
where necessary The line was formerly
marked by about fifty monuments. Re-
marking became necessary TO put an end
to constant disputes and controversies
over territorial rights.
In accordance with general instructions
the commission erected 25S monuments Ia
all. including all the old ones that could
be put in good condition. Most OF them
are OF east iron. but the principal ones,
which are of stone, are usually set out
with an average of about TWO and a half
miles between them. Stone was used
wherever possible. Generally the rnonu-
ments are in the form of simple taper
Ing four-sided shaft bearing suitable in
scriptions in English and Spanish. The
stone monuments are about eleven feet
high. and the other monuments about six
and & halt feet high. They are arranged
so thta they are within sight OF one an
other from one end to the other. Most
of the country traversed consists OF deserts
and mountains. and in many instances the
work was prosecuted with considerable
difficulty. BY the terms Of the treaty the
destruction or displacement OF any OF
these monuments Is maae Il misderneanor,
