THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

The various State Conventions Of all
political parties will during the coming
Summer nominate Presidential Electors.
The number Of electors chosen by each
State equals the number Of members il
sends TO Congress. The ratio Of repre-
sentation In the House under the appor-
tionment made by the eleventh census is
one to every 173. .301 in State, which gives
a total Of 357 representatives. There are
80 Senators. This makes the total repre-
sentstion in both branches Of Congress
447, and the electoral college will therefore
be composed Of 447 members. The sp-
pended table shows the vote which each
State will be entitled to in the choice for
President.

It Had Escaped His n emory.

A well-known bicyclist sold his
wheel early in the season and bought
a tandem. A short time afterwards a
marriage license and minister gave
him permanent partner for the ma
chine. One night last week the young
man took his bride to ball at North
Beach, and, of course, there were con-
gratulations and drinks, more con-
gratulations and more drinks, till early
in the morning. In the small hours
the young mans father found him
fumbling at the door with key that
wouldn't fit.
"What are you doing here?" he
asked in surprise. where's your
wife? Why are you not at your own
homer
In the rush OF congratulations-and
drinks-he had forgotten that he was
married and had changed his resi-
dence. lie reached home in time to
convince his wife that he had not been
murdered.-S. f. Post.

His sight Suddenly RestOred.

marvellous instance OF restoration
oil sight is that of John Hershman. an
old soldier residing near Kokomo, Ind.
From injuries received during the late
war Mr.. Hershman went blind, and
by special act OF Congress in 1888 he
was awarded a pension OF $75 month
for total disability, and large amount
OF back pay. A few days ago Mr..
hershman, while sitting at his home,
was attacked with frightful pains
about the eyes. After suffering ex-
cruciating agony for several hours, the
pain suddenly vanished, and to the
surprise of Mr.. Hershman and his
family, his sight was completely res
tored. lie now reads newspapers al

TERMS FOR WEEKLY SENTINEL:


With his Horoscope Thomas A. Edi-
son can now look through pa feet oI
solid wood. Nothing better illustrates
the tremendous progress he has made
in his X-ray experiments.
When the announcement was first
made that Mr.. Edison had perfected
an apparatus that enabled him to
look through 5 inches of wood the
whole world marveled. Now inches
Of wood offer only slight impediment
to the eve under the X-ray and there
have been times, when the conditions
were peculiarly favorable, that Mr..
Edison has penetrated a sheet Of steel
one.sixteenth OF an inch in thickness.
porus substances, like cork, for ex-
ample, practically offer no resistance
at all TO the Horoscope. Through 3
feet Of cork objects may be seen as
distinctly as though there was no OBJ
struction at all, and there is reason to
believe that cork wall OF a sufficient
thickness TO obscure the vision could
not be set up.
"As matters are moving now." de-
clared one enthusiast, who was watch
ing Mr.. Edison at work recently, che
will soon be able to look clear through
the earth into China" And this idea
must occur to everyone who sees the
wonders that are being perfected at
the Wizards laboratory at Orange. As
for Mr.. Edison himself, he says that
he only wants to perfect his vacuum
tubes so that they will stand "32
lamps'-that is, the power used in 80
incaandescent lights-and then one
may see through anything except the
earth.
Mr.. Edson's enthusiasm and energy
continue unimpaired. The things he
has already accomplished, marvellous
IS they are, have only whetted his ap-
pc tite for more. lie sticks to his ex-
periments day and night. He does
not seem to know what fatigue is. For
As hours on a stretch he keeps going
at times and then he stops only long
enough to snatch four or five hours
sleep, when he is up and at it again.
He never leaves the laboratory now.
Mrs. Edison has gone on visit to out
of-town friends, and this gives him
perfect freedom to do as be likes.
While his wife was in Orange she COM
PEELED him at times to come home, GO
ing to the laboratory after him and re-
fusing to stir until he consented TO 20
with her to their house, across in Lew.
ellyn Park. But he grudges the few
hours he has to spend away from his
room, and though he is
q most affectionate husband it is
doubtful II he does not hail his wife's
trip with enthusiasm.

He wore a round, sanctimonious
face, a Understanding collar and q
Moody-and-Sankey expression. When
he entered Tom Ryan's saloon, then
the pride of Cripple Creek, hush fell
upon the revelers and the hum OF
mingled profanity and faro chips
momentarily ceased, says New York
Press writer.
1t was in the days Of Cripple Creek g
incipient gold delerium, when sancti-
monious men were even rarer than
they are now, and rum was higher
priced but just as plentiful.
The man with the sanctiInonious
face and the Understanding collar
looked around him with mournful
eyes. "The curse has fallen even
here" he muttered, half audibly.
brave, strong men helpless in the
coils of the serpent, being dragged
down, down into the mire. Will no
one save them? Are they even now
beyond rescue?"
He looked appealingly around from
the faro bank to the bar and from the
free-lunch counter to the roulette lay
out.
Brothers, he went on earnestly,
'if there is way granted TO us shall
we not avail ourselves of the precious
chance to stamp out this terrible
plague Of drunkenness? Brothers,
there is chance"
"You bet there is," interrupted a
big, long-haired miner. "You called
the turn. Jest step up here 'longside
o. me and we'll show yer the chance
to stamp on the varmit. Come along"
he urged. pointing his gun at the
sanctimonious face, "'cause il yer
don't yer liable to wake up in that
camp where all ther chances are made
OF asbestos, and where they draw only

"Now, Tom," he went on after the
high standing collar had lined its
wearer up against the bar, "just put
six OF them glasses in a row and fill
'em up With that giant powder rye Of
yers."
There's yer chance, mister. Now
drink 'ern up spry. Talk about SER
pents There's a nest of 'em right
under yer nose. Stamp 'em out now,
quick" and the cold muzzle again
seconded the motion.
Without word the sanctimonious
stranger began to "down" the liquor,
and the miners clustered around to see
the result.
When the last drop in the last glass
was drained, the Moody-and-Sankey
face turned to its tormentor.
"Fill 'em up again." he said quietly,
and I'll drink the row back from this
end"

A Clever BuncO Trick.

A chunk OF iron, coated with gold,
was worked off on banking firm at
Idaho Falls, Ida, last week, by a
swindler who represented that it was
the result Of cleanup on his placer
claim. The bank advanced sum OF
money, sent the amalgam to the Gov
ernment assay office at Boise, and
learned that it had been buncoed.
This incident indicates that there is
still left. to the brass brick man field
