FENCIBLES' GREAT FAIR.
Cadets Fell Before the Pretty Booth
Girls Inst Night

VII 1<iSt NIX
The High School Cadets marched to the
Fencibles' Fair last night with pockets
bulging with coin. They marched home
with hearts a-flutter and the consciousness
of having had n great time in exchange
for the wherewithal.
The cadets are young, but Old enough to
know when they are the cynosure of merry
eyes and sweet smiles. 1t was night
worth dozen holidays to them. And there
were others. great many Others.
The chicken salad was in enormous de-
mand. and hereafter 1t will be constantly
on draught. for the crowd last night made
an onslaught on 1t. Nice sandwiches are
also on the menu now.
The bicycle contests are nearing the
close. But few tickets are left on the
three and 1t is probable they will go to-
night.
The old. the young, the mLdile-ased all
ENJOY the fair. 1t is a pretty place a Wis
1t to it is worth a great deal for cases
of the blues or other hypochondriacal all
ments, and II nothing is the matter with
a person it is simply lovely.
If you go the fair don't miss the wonder
booth. It's worth The small price to have
its mysteries exposed. The gypsics. Also
should not be overlooked. But then there
are all sorts and conditions of booths, and
there is the widest kind OF range OF in
finite variety among them.
The prize winners last night were c. F.
Young. silk umbrella, and W. L. Saut-
meyer. japanese tea set.
Tonight the Miles Cycle Corps, Troop A
and Company ID will be at the fair and 1t

and sOlar-radiance the oxygen gas of
the air is converted into ozone, and that
It is the ozone which bleaches. In fact,
ozone is the most powerful bleaching
agent known. Hence, a great many
elaborate experiments have been IN
dertaken with a view to the cheap pro
duetion of this gas, so that man might
initiate nature, on larger scale and
more rapidly than in the sward sys-
TEN Of bleaching. This result is the
more desirable because ozone does not
injure the fiber Of cloth as some other
chemicals used for bleaching do. In
a short article recently translated from
a German publication for the Industrial
Record it is stated that in the great
Enen-bleaching establishment in Graft
fenberg ozone is obtained by electrical
methods. The fabric to be treated is
first soaked in solution of chloride
Of lime. then carefully washed and
finally hung while wet in a glasshouse
filed with ozone. Sunlight is permitted
to pour in on the cloth. 1t has been
found that if little vaporized oil of
turpentine be combined with the Ozon-
ated air, the bleaching process goes on
more rapidly than before The time
has thus been shortened about one
third. No definite data can be obtained
at present, showing whether the new
method is likely to pay or not.

a aooD ANsWER.

The editor of the DelphOs Republican
clips the following paragraph from
gold standard organ:
A man cannot agree to sell a bushel
of potatoes at four pecks to the bushel
and then deliver foIr pecks Of four
quarts to the peck and he honest to his
creditor And there never will be any
double standard of either four quart
or eight quart pec6s; it viii be either
the one or the other. There is no such
thing in nature or in art as a double
standard Of anything.
The Republican then replies to the
foregoing as follows.
Neither viii there be any dollars Of
only two quarters. The peck and quart
are simply subdivisions Of the busheI,
as the halves, quarters and dimes are
fractions Of the dollar. There is, how
ever. a double standard in law for the
bushel. and anything measured by
either expresses bushels For wheat, Sc
pounds or 80 quarts; corn, 56 pounds or
32 quarts. The pound is a standard
of weight consisting of i ounces or 16
ounces. according to the material TO be
weighed.
our coinage laws say the dollar,
which is the standard of our monetary
system. shall be either 25.S grains Of
gold or 4121a grains of silver, just as so
pounds of wheat or 56 of corn make a
bushel. regardless of the price of either
There is no such question as two or
four peck bushels. or six or twelve inch
feet involved. Different substances are
dealt with requiring different amounts
Of each to make a unit, the bushel or
the dollar. and each has its standard.
1t is just as sensible to speak Of six
inch pecks and two peck feet in con-
nection with the double standard Of
money.

MEASURING STARLIGHT.
Instrument for That Purpose VIII Aid IL
FOreeastIng Weather.

Instrument for That Purpose VIII Aid In
Foreeasting Weather.
An English astronomer, AIinchin, has
invented an instrument which accurate
" measures the quantity of light given
out by star. Stars are designated
as being Of the first down to the TWEEN
tieth magnitude, according to the inten-
sity of the light given out. The magni-
tude Of a star is judged by the eye.
Anything like exactjtude is not OBJ
tainable or has not been up to the pres
ent.
By the new invention, instead Of the
rough designation of magnitude, mum
bers are given which represent the exact
ratio one star bears to another in light
giving powers. The star Arcturus, for
example, has been found to give seventy
five and three-quarters times the light
of Regulus.
This instrument will be of use, not
only in astronomy, but in meteorologv
also. The amount of light which
reaches the earth varies according to
the state of the atmosphere. The in
ventor claims that in this way forecasts
Of weather can be obtained which VIII

Il - vEAR 90 BossEs-

While the defeat which the Republi-
can bosses in the east incurred this
year is not the first that they have sus-
tanned, it is the most crushing and com
plete one since the memorable trium-
virate. Conklng, Cameron and Logan,
went down with their 800 followers in
1850. Then the bosses were beaten in
the convention; this year they have
been beaten in advance; then they were
beaten by shrewd political combina-
ton. this year they have been beaten in
an open field by the people them
selves
1t has not been necessary for Major
Mckinley to ask for anything or make
any promises. The people just seemed
to make up their minds not to be led,
but to drive They could have been
led all right if the bosses had taken
them in the direction in which they
wished to 80. but when the bosses
failed to do that the people took the
whip in their hands and drove them
into line. So it is that at the eleventh
hour Mr.. Quay journeyed down to Cam
ton on a mission Of peace with the pow
ers which ne could neither control nor
successfully resist. Whatever terms
he may have made, if any, were scarce
ly Of his own choosing.
What is true Of Republican bosses
this year is also true Of the Democratic
bosses. and Brice, German, Cleveland.

to dictate the party policy and the
party candidates find themselves in the
