STARS TO FALL NEXT WEEK.
The Greatest Astronomical Display
Since 1888.

Professor J. X. Rees told about
falling stars and the meteoric display
expected next week in an illustrated
lecture last night before the New
York Academy of Sciences,a - west
Thirty first street.
The stereoptican illustrations were
made from drawings of famous astro-
nomers, which were based upon OBJ
servations made from time to time
since 1888.
.:It is calculated" said Professor
Rees, THAT the meteoric exhibition
next week will be the greatest since
1888, and will far outshine that of
1866. About every thirty-three years
the same astronomical phenomena
are observable, and it will be strange
if New Workers do not have the
spectacle vouchsafed to them some
night next week.
lit may be. however, that here the
meteors will fall in the daytime, and
in that event, there will be little to
be seen. The German astronomers
have sent an expedition to India es
pecially to observe the Forthcoming
display, showing that they calculate
that Europe and the United States
will this year be deprived of noe
turnal fall of stars.
.Still," said the lecturer, In a con-
solatory way, IF the fall occurs here
in the daytime, we will see fairly
good exhibition next year."
He went on to demonstrate that in
about every thirty-three and a
Quarter years the earth in it's revolu-
lions around the sun ran into swarms
of meteors. These are particles of
comets that have disinteerated by
repeated explosions. In 1888 and in
1866 some of the meteors. or falling
stars" were as bright as the full
moon, and if the conditions next
week are favorable, equally brilliant
heavenly displays may be Visible.
The observer, the Professor sug-
gested, should look up in the north,
east about midnight Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week. Should
the heavens furnish no unusual spec
tacle, then about 1 O'clock on the
morning of November 10Th ought to
repay their vigils. Vari-colored
meteors are promised to shoot
through space and an aerial
panorama such as may not be visible
for at least another thirty-three
years is confidently expected.
In Boston, in 1888. 100000 falling
stars were computed to have been
visible in the eight hours duration of
the phenomenon. About the same
number were seen in the same time
in Europe in 1866. Sometimes the
dropping stars explode, ricoching in
eccentric lines and making fiery
prism of the heavens. These meteors
travel at the rate Of from twenty
six to forty four miles a second aud
each is visible only for second or
two, and often for only fraction of
a second. When they get within the
earth's atmosphere, the heat becomes
so great that they are consumed, or,
as it were, evaporated. No falling
star in these showers, declared the
Professor, had ever reached the
earths surface.-N. Y. Times.

The election returns do not show
the sweeping democratic victories
which were predicted in some of the
States on last Tuesday, but there is
much in them that is gratifying and
enough to encourage us to hope for
better results in the future. With
Maryland back in the democratic
column and Nebraska in line for
BRYAN at the next Presidential elec>
ton, there is nothing because of our
defeat elsewhere, to mar the joy of
our victories in those States. Demo-
cratic victories ought not to have
been expected in Ohio and Iowa, be
cause we had no reason to hope for
light where darkness has prevailed
so long and, of course, nothing good
was expected to come out of the
democratic Discussions in kentucky.
On the other hand Ohio, backed as
it was by the Administration, did
not give republican majority which
can be accepted as very enthusiasts
tic endorsement of Mckinley and his
imperialistic schemes, while the vic
tory in Maryland shows that the
people of that State entirely repu-
dated him and his methods and gives
us the right to expect like results in
other close States next year, when
Hanna's corruption fund cannot be
80 judiciously distributed in many
States, as it was in Ohio on Tuesday.
AS result of Tuesdays election the
politicians of both political parties
agree that it means the renomina-
ton of both Mckinley and Bryan
and the result therefore in Ohio may
not be as much republican victory
as it seems to be. In making sure the
denomination of Mckinley the demo-
Gratis will have perhaps in the Presi..
Dental contest the weakest candi-
date which could have been put up
in opposition to them. With his
record in regard to trusts, monoplies
and imperialism, if they can't beat
him, they could not hope to win.

might be.

Altogether, our Kentucky brethren
have had some very impressive polit

The regular nominees of the demo-

The regular nominees of the demo-
cratic party were with few exceptions
elected in Virginia Tuesday and
should have been. One was beaten
-Boykin of the thirty second Sena"
torial district-and many of the best
democrats in the State are shedding
no tears, that Stands his opponent
was successful. The democrats of
that district selected him as their
nominee, but the Democratic State
Committee presumed to interfere
and to defeat the will of the people
by selecting another-Mr. Boykin.
The result is told by the Public
Ledger in the following:
Mr.. Stands, of Southampton, was
not the regular Senatorial candidate
in the Thirty District, while
the Democratic voters of that dis
trict have decided overwhelmingly
that he was. Indeed, if the negro
had not been made factor in the
contest, Mr.. Stands would have
beaten his opponent Oy July n1Leen
hundred votes, if not more. AS it
was he secured two Democratic votes
for every one that was cast for MIR.
Boykin. and his triumph is severe
rebuke to those who interfered in a
matter which the voters of the dis
trict were entirely competent to set
tie.
When all the circumstances con-
nected with this Senatorial contest
are considered-and there are feat
ures of it with which the public are
not familiar-it must be admitted
that the friends of Mr.. Stands
achieved notable victory for cor
rect party management. They took
the ground that the voters were the
masters and that those temporarily
in charge of party affairs were their
servants.

One of the most prominent physi-
clans in Richmond says there are a
great many sporadic cases of SMALL
pox in every section Of Virginia. The
disease. however, is of an unusaily
mild type and is largely confined to
negroes. The epidemic, if such it
can be called, is by no means alarm
ing, and the physician says that from
reading medical papers he was posi-
tive that there was less of the disease
in Virginia than in any other state
in the Union.-Richmond News.
