 How great the contrast between the principles of Mckinley and Bryan! Bryan has publicly said that he sub scribes to every word and syllable of the Chicago platform. It seems almost marvellous that an intelligent American citizen, having the honor of his country at heart, could be found who would subscribe to the doctrines of that plat form. To find such a man they must have searched from the cradle to the grave They evidently found him in the former, and I predict that, in the gales of November, there will happen that disaster so graphically described by that distinguished poetess, Mother Goose, in the words:

teresting proof of this truth. A satellite
sometimes enters into the shadow of Ju-
piter, and 10! the satellite v7nishes. Its dis
appearance is due to the fact that Jupiter
has curt off the supply of sunlight which
previously rendered it visible. Jupiter is
not himself able to offer the satellite any
light In place of the sunlight which he
has intercepted.

Just now we must look toward the
south to find the most glorious displays
of stars in the evening. The contrast be-
tween the northern and southern SKIES
is very strange. Toward the north the

star above the fourth magnitude, while
in the opposite-direction it is Singularly
rich in large stars, chief among them be-
ing Antares perhaps the most beautiful
of all the red stars. The large conStella-
ton of Ophinchus has been supposed by
some to represent Aesculapiu5 and by
others to be another celestial Hercules.
In the constellation Corona Borealis
there was a star suddenly blazed out
some thirty years ago, and, though 1t
soon faded in luster, it can be found with
the telescope. When at it's brightest 1t
appeared as a second magnitude star
In the eastern sections of the heavens
the milky way has now risen high above
the horizon, and in clear weather can be
studied very advantageously. With
good opera glass the bright parts of the
galaxy here will be found to be ablaze

Dolphin Is now conveniently located for
observation, with the Lesser Horse be-
low it and Pegasus from the left. The
constellation Cygnus is now well placed
for observation, and the cross that one
can fairly picture here is fully as fine
as the famous Southern Cross. In the
west, Regulus is the most brilliant star;
then there are the consultations Hydra,
Leo and overhead Ursa Major.

Death Came Quickly to Him.

4cnNtI NEWS.
Here, Fisher, you'd better take this
before somebody comes along and kills
me-" said Saloon Keeper Thomas Smith
to A. H. Fisher a cigar manufacturer, at
noon as he handed him $40 due on bill of
cigars. At 1870 Smith was lying corpse
at the morgue.
The accident by which Smith met his
almost instant death occurred only few
feet from his saloon at 1:05 p. m. e. e.
Keller, a driver for the Gladstone Coal
company, tied his team while he went to
get his dinner one of the horses, irritated
by sweat gall on the shoulder, succeed
ed in getting its bride off. John Lunger,
who was passing, loosened the halter and
had succeeded in getting the bride in
place again when the team made a lunge
forward and threw Lunger to one side.
The team turned east on Larimer street,
breaking down the drinking fountain on
the corner and continuing on up Larimer
street they avoided all other vehicles and
at Twenty-second street took to the side
walk.
Smith was just returning to the saloon
from dinner. He apparently did not ex-
pect the team to come on the sidewalk,
for he was watching them run, and as
they came toward him he turned, but be-
fore he could take a second step they
were son him. The neck yoke knocked
him down, the horses trampled on him
and the wheels on the left side of the
wagon passed over his body. There werd
few gasps and he was dead.

The Embroidered Batiste Waists.

Chicago Evening Post.
Separate waists of embroidered batiste
to wear with various skirts. just as silk
waists are worn, are very popular this
season. The embroidery is in all-over de-
signs and the waists copy all the models
now fashiona BILE. They have yokes, jack
ct fronts, dropping and box pleated eff
fects, and are lace and insertion trimmed,
like ether fabrics. Pale yellow and pink
batiste waists that are not embroidered
are effectively trimmed with rows of mar
rowest black velvet ribbon. Very many
economical women this season purchased
a batiste, grass lawn, organdy, or other
summerlike waist, ready made, at the
best shops, and then add home made
gored skirt of plain material to match.
White dotted Swiss bodies are easily
matched; also those of India null chif-
