FIELD FOR MARCONI

Signor MarcOni ought to find a fine
opening for his wireless telegraphy in
Spain, where gangs of thieves have
been stealing wire on a big scale.
The other day the premier was holding
most important communication with
a fellow minister by means of his tele-
phone, when ''rrrr!" went the appara-
tus, and the chat was Interrupted
When the premier's private wire is not
sacred, there is a feeling of insecurity
which Marconi might remove. No one
is likely to steal the ether, which is
all that wireless telegraphy asks for

The Medical Fraternity.

DR.. Joseph II, Chandler, of Cen
trevile, is making extra arrange
ments for the entertainment of the
physicians of our city and vicinity,
on Thursday afternoon. He has
had his fine mansion repalnted out
side as we'll as in; also the fence
surrounding his beautiful lawn and
the out buildings, making everything
look as spick and span as a big
silver dollar. The Odd Fellows
Hall Company have also taken the
hint and applied coat of paint to
their building. DR.. Chandler is one
of the most enterprising gentlemen
in our State, and one that the citi-
zens of the neighborhood delight to
honor. The members of the medi-
cal fraternity say heis trump and
will unite to render him homage.
As he has been, therefore, recently
named in connection with political
honors, he should be the candidate
of the united Republican party for
Governor next year and thus leave
other aspirants to contend for the
Senatorship. Representative Friz-
zell should take charge of the mat
ter and see if he cannot land him I,
winner.

THE CITY OF THE SUN GOD.
4 Syrian Relic of Pagan Worship
and Human Sacrifices.

Baal 'Bck, the city of the sun god, lies
at the foot of Anti Lebanon, in Syria. In
order to roach it yon must rido many miles
over bare brown plain, ACROSS ridges hoary
with olive and green with mulberry, be-
tween massive hills streaked like the zebra.
Suddenly out Of the silent fields spring
mighty walls and pillars-giants who lift
their heads into tho amber sky. The sight
Of these sllperhuman columns, beside
which the tallest trees look like blades of
grass, fills one with amazcment. 1t is not
alone their size and strength and beauty
that inspire wonder, but their very exist
encc in such a solitude, fur from the track
of mankind. We of the nineteenth cen
tury--meek dependents on rail and steam
are 80 In the habit of associating cities
with modern means of communication
that we are astonished Mt the presence Of
massive ruins in the heart of valley re-
mote from river and sea.
AS we draw near our wonder grows, for
out of the thick grove, whose dark
branches sweep and moan like troubled
sea around the foot of imperishablc cliffs,
there rise new walls and new columns,
massive, ornate, stately oven In their heap
ed confusion This is the Temple of the
Sun, relic of pagan worship that has
looked unm0ved on the birth and death of
dynasties and faiths Led as by some
strong enchantment, VIC pass through tho
grove, whose dark avenues, overgrown
with weeds, have echoed with the shrieks
of the victims of Baal lord Of tho heav-
ems.
There, in the shadow of that poplar,
may have stood the molten image, the hui
man figure with bulls head and out
stretched arms, from which children drop
ped into the fiery lap. "They caused their
sons and daughters to pass through the
fire." "They made themselves molten
images, even two calves, and made grove
and worshiped all the hosts of heaven and
served Baal." 1t is not easy to associate
these bloody rites with such splendor of
design and colossal workmanship, yet 1t
is beyond dispute that these walls have
seen the worshipo of Baal; that here incense
has been consumed In his honor; that his
priests clothed in rich vCstments, have
trodden these paths;~ that here mothers
have looked onIlry eyed at the sacrifice of
their children, while tho screams of the
burning victims were deadened with flute
and drum

POLITICS OF
ALL KINDS.

The cards that were being played
to re-elect Isaac {. Pyle City Audi
tor, it is now said have fallen through
and now it looks as if none of the
old officers will be reelected when
the new City Council meets in July.
Lucky Walter McEvilly does not
need to be sitting on the anxious
bench and is now good for two
years more. He has to rise early
in the morning and inspect the milk
that comes into the city and is sold
to our citizens.
Medford H. CaEoon has been re-
appointed Assistant City Solicitor
BY City Solicitor Conrad on Satur-
day. There had been tdead set
against Mr.. Cahoon $ appointment
by numerous Republicans, but Mr.
Conrad considered him an efficient
and capable assistant and hence his
disappointment.
1t is said that Michael ]. Newell
will be the new Water Commissioner.
The question has been asked does
the Meat Inspector of the markets
inspect? There is no reason why
he should not as that is all he has
to do and gets $1,000 year for do
ing it.
A story is going the rounds that
Colonel Henry A. Dupont came to
Congressman John H. Hotfecker's
rescue in the Delaware River
Steamboat deal ndraised the $1,000
necessary to close the deal. This
does not look as if the Colonel and
the Congressman are on such bad
terms. But then, business is busl-
ness, and politics has nothing to do
with it. This is always test of
friendship, and in this case was not
wanting.
Fred Eden Bach in the Republi-
lican Glasses in the Star, gives
William Michael Byrne quite a
fling. He says that Michael was
not the choice of the party and his
backing was worked up by ''ma-
chine influences. Who is better
able to speak about these matters
than Fred? The appointment has
been made and meets with the gen
eral approval of the people. ire
spectve OF political affiliations.
But. then. we think this fling at
Michael is the unkindest cut of all,
and entirely uncalled tor. 1t is not
good policy for office holders to be
finding fault with the party. What
need Fred care! He is secure in a
good position that pays over $4,000
year and notrouble to get his pay
when Uncle Sans pay day rolls
around.
