WIND the vatlenn Contain.

On the whole, the Vatican may be
divided into seven portions. These are
the pontifcal residence, the Sistine and
Pauline chapels, the picture galleries
the library, the museums Of sculpture
and archaeology. the outbuildings, in
GLIDING the barracks of the Swiss
guards, and, lastly, the gardens with the
pope's casino OF these the Sistine
chapel, the galleries and museums and
the library are incomparably the most
important.
The name Sistine is derived from
Sixtus ". The library was founded by
Nicholas V, whose love Of books was
almost equal to his passion for building.
The galleries are representative Of
Raphacl's work, which predominates to
such an extent that the paintings of al
most all other artists are of secondary i'm
portance, precisely as Michael Angelo
filled the Sistine chapel with himself. AS
for the museums, the objects they con-
tain have been accumulated by many
popes, but their existence ought perhaps
TO be chiefly attributed TO Julius II and
Leo X, the principal representatives OF
the Rovere and Medici families. IF.

WHERE Az CAN MEET.

Wilmington knows how to be court
eous to distinguished visitors, and
every attention and consideration will
be accorded to Hon. William J. Bryan,
the Democratic Presidential candidate,
on Monday evening. Free silver Demo-
Gratis, sound money Democrats, regular
Republicans, irregular Republicans,
Single Takers, Populists and Prohibi-
tionists, will join in giving the Boy
Orator Of the Platte" a rousing recep-
tion.
All will want to see and hear him,
although many of his auditors may
dissent from his views on matters OF
public policy. Some will regard him
as the apostle of prosperity; others as
the foremost advocate Of Reputation
and bankruptcy; others still, as po.
litical curiosity, but one and all car
meet upon the common platform oi
looking at and listening to him, anC
those who cannot agree with him car
at least go home and say: well, I'y'

FUN over the Brerd.

We had the gantlot yet to run, as the
firing Of the communists was still heavy
in the neighborhood The bullets were
whistling so angrily down one of the
streets which cut the Rue de Ia Bien-
faisaace at right angles that a number
of servant girls who wished 10 90 to a
bakers shop on the other side We're
afraid to venture over. The difficulty
was turned in this way: There We're
soldiers ON one side Of the dangerous
crossing and maidservants ON the other.
The maideerrants threw their money to
the soldiers, ard the soldiers purchased
the bread and flung it across to the
maids.
This maneuver excited q good deal Of
merriment in spite Of the danger with
which it was attended. At times a girl
would throw a piece Of money short,
and soldier would have to fish FOR it
with his bayonet, and even, amid peals
of laughter, venture out to pick it up
To see the men and women engaged in
this occupation one might easily have
thought they were indulging in some
harmless pastime like hunt the slipper

AN HOURS WALK.
You Would Hardly Think That That

You Would Hardly Think That That
Meant Travelling S5,253 Miles.
Have you ever thought of the distance
you travel whilc you are out ON an hours
stroll? Possibly you walk three miles
within the hour, but that does not by
any means represent tho distance you
travel. The earth turns on its axis every
"a hours. For the sake Of round figures
we viii call the earth's circumference
"a 900 miles, and SO you must have
Travelled during the hours stroll 1000
miles IN the axial turn Of the earth.
But this is not all. The earth makes
a journey around the sun every year,
and long bat rapid triDit is. The dis
tanco Of cur planet from the sun we
will put at 02, coo, GOO miles This is
tho radius Of tho earth orbit-half the
diameter Of tho circle, as we call it.
The whole diameter is therefore 1874, e
600, 600 miles, and the circumference,
being the diameter multiplied by 3. 14l6,
is about 57S, 600, 600.
This amazing distance the earth tray
els in its yearly journey. and dividing
it By 800 we find the daily speed about
1856, 600. Then. to get the distance
you rode around tho sun during youI
hours walk, divide again by "a, and
the result is about &C, 900 miles. But
this is not the end Of your hours trip.
The sun, with its entire brood Of plan
cts, is moving in space at the rate Of
100, 600, 900 miles in year. This is al
the rate Of little more than 438. 00C
miles day, or rs, 250 miles an hour.
So adding your three miles Of les
travel to the hours axial movement o
the earth, this to the earth orbital jour
ney, and that again to the earth 8 excur
sion with the sun, and you find yol

A GAsTRONOMIC FEAT.

Just now the Addicks State Central

game to obtain official recognition
from the regular Republican State

A CREDITABLE SELECTION.

without losing his self-respect and
the respect of the people of his state
and nation, Senator Gray could not
come out in support of Bryan and
Sewall and the Chicago platform. He
has been too earnest an advocate Of
soundmoney In thepast and too closely
identified with the policy OF President
Cleveland to be in a position to take
such step, even should his love OF
party and party success prompt
him to do 50. The peo-
pie will respect him all the
more for his consistency knowing, as
they do, that 1t may end his career in
the United States Senate should there
be no subsldence OF the free silver
movement, which now has the country
by the ears. His present conservative
course demonstrates most effectively
that he is not TO be swayed by exped-
iency or the fear Of losing the present
exalted station which he holds.
II is creditable to the Democratic
county convention, which assembled in
Wlihllhblon yesterday Ahdl IL NinAo-
garded the whimperings of those dele
gates who demanded that Mr.. Gray'f
name be kept off the ticket for Consti-
tuition Convention delegate because he
refused to support Bryan and Sewall
Should the Democrats control the Con
stitutional Convention, and there il
every reason to believe that they will
Mr.. Gray will prove a tower o
strength. His great mental power
profound knowledge of the law an'
well-balanced conservatism will insure
the framing of a new constitution
which will meet with the hearty ap
proval of the people to whom it will b.
sent for ratification.
With such a leader and such dele
cation New Castle county will be mos
ably represented.

Central Committee to point where it
must recognize the rival body as the
Union Republican State Central Com
mittee and address 1t as such or break
off all overtures OF compromise. AS
the regulars do not concede the right
of the Addicksites to the use Of the
name Union Republican, it will take
Washington Hastings and his forty
lawyers several days to discover a rec
ognition which is not a recognition,
or at feast. one which is not
binding upon the regulars.
II will be interesting to watch the
developments of the next few days. Tor
there is every reason to expect that the
regulars will endeavor to eat chicken
and crow at the same time, a grand
gastronomic feat which none but a
want-to-win regular Republican can
accomplish. We may rest assured of
one thing. That is that Edward a.
Bradford will not be at the banquet.
The Mckinley and Hobart Business
Mems Club and the Union Veterans
Patriotic League may be non-factional
organizations. but it is astonishing
how few Addicks men participate in
the functions of the former, and what
a dearth of regulars there is whenever
the latter holds a public meeting. It
may be merely a coincidence, but, If so,
il is a remarkable one.

THE SEASON JUST CLOSED.

Now that the baseball season has
closed, it may not be amiss to recall
something OF the game in Whining
ton The Wilmington Club did not
finish so well in the Atlantic League
race as was expected. but this is to be
charged as much to the lack OF sup
port on the part Of the people as to
any other cause.
Before the accident to Nops in the
game with the Athletics in Philadel-
phia there ia no question that the Will
mington Club was the strongest in the
league It had no difficulty in defeat
ing Hartford or Paterson as It pleased,
and those were then the stronger Of the
remaining clubs. But the injury to
Nops started a train of accidents to
players which could not be overcome
AT one time every man on the team eI-
cept two were so badly hurt as to be
almost unable to play.
Had the team at that time received
any show of encouraging support the
manager would undoubtedly have Sc
cured new men. But the supper. was
lacking and the teams average grad
ually fell until it reached fourth place,
where It finished
Beside its ill-luck regarding injuries
to players, Wilmington had one OF the
very few minor league teams that
could complain of unfair treatment by
incompetent umpires on its own
grounds. The manager is almost
wholly to blame for that fact, and
every game that was lost on the home
grounds through unfairness or incom-
petence OF umpires should De charged
| to him. President Crane evidently
Disseminated against Wilmington IL
heapportionmento of umpires,a itwal
seldom that a regular umpire was n
the grounds. In such cases Manager
Long should have selected his ownman
and the man selected should have beer
q competent one. But he didn't
Manager Long is said to have los
$1,000 during the season. 1t is true tina
his actual cash loss was more thar
overbalanced by the sums he receive'
for Nops and Gallagher, but tina
should not be counted as receipts.
Mr.. Long may conclude to locate hi
team in Wilmington next year. 1t /
to be hoped that he will, for cleai
sport is always a good thing for
city. II he does, and gives the peoDl
such a game as they have right I
