one. While asleep in his Cape cart on
the veldt he was Intellectually potted

The STATE OF WASHINGTON - is
known as the Evergreen state because
of its vast forests. Outside of the linn
tied areas of Big Trees in California,
there are no such forests of pine, fir,
hemlock, spruce, timbers and fine
shingles made from them are shipped
all over the world. Washington fruit
is a produce of great value. Its flavor
and color are unsurpassed. East of the
Cascade mountains. the climate is dry
and warm and mountain irrigation is
unnecessary and the rainfall is ample
for all purposes. Canneries and fruit
drying establishments can be operated
profitably in this state. Grain, hops
and alfalfa are very profitable crops
and beet sugar is rapidly making head
way. Washington is coming empire.
Brains are in demand in all professions
and labor is wanted and is paid renum-
erative prices. Fuel, coal as we'll as
wood. is abundant and cheap. Schools
and churches abound. the state is we'll

Sun Sf0rIr1A.

~ The connection between the aurora,
sun spots and magnetic disturbances
has never been explained, but many
observations have shown that it def
initely exists. The outbreak of cy-
clonic storm. on the sun with the for
nation of spots is Immediately regis
tered in every magnetic observatory
on the earth. Sometimes the disturb
ance of terrestrial conditions is very
marked.
For. example, on Feb. 10, 1892,
great spot, accompanied by enormous
cyclonic disturbances, burst forth on
the suns surface, That night mag
nificent aurora was visible all over the
northern half of the United States and
in many parts of Europe. Telegraph
ing was carried on between New York
and Albany. without batteries, SO strong
i were the earth currents. The tele-
graph system Of Sweden was COM
pletely paralyzed, and in Russia much
difficulty was experienced with the tel
egraph lines. AT the Kew observatory
in England the magnetic needle swung
two degrees out of it's normal position.
All this has furnished physicists and
astronomers fruitful field for study,
and vast mass of observations has
been accumulated, but so far no salts
factory explanation of the mysterious
/. bond of sympathy between solar and
terrestrial influences has been forth
coming, nor does any one yet know the
/ true nature of the aurora.

A FALSE ALARM.
It Came at a Most Inopportune Tim.

"And it all came from little, petty,

at bargain salew exclaimed the pref
ty girl in blue, with flashing eyes, to
her sympathetic friend. II haven't the
slightest idea why bought it unless
it was because it was so cheap, for
goodness knows didn't need it.! But
buy it did and carried it home, where
l Dragged Of my bargain all the rest of
the day. 1t wouldn't run more than
half the time, and finally l turned 1t
over to my little sister to play with.
You know the time have had with
that eligible young man and how l
have quarreled with every girl friend
l know who has dared to look at him?
But you don't know how many nights
l have wasted sitting up planning a
campaign that would be successful!

and served notice on the rest of the

We were sitting side by side on q

when she was through playing with it
From the way the young man jump

was a part OF the alarm and always
acted that way when the alarm was

DEMOCRATIC SCHEMES.
From the Daily Republican.

From the Daily Republican.
The Democratic party to gain the as
tendency in the South, have, whenever
they we're able, passed laws disfranchis-
ing the negro voter, thereby cheating the
black man out of his vote. This has
been done with view to making the
South solid for the Democratic party.
That is what will take place in Delaware
if the next Legislature is controlled by
the Democrats. Such law in Delaware
will be the means of giving the Demo-
cratic party better chance for suprem-
acy than the Infamous DISTINGUISHING
lavs whereby for years hundreds Of white
Republicans were cheated out OF their
votes and caused on several occasions
small sized riots. Men were cheated out
OF tbs rig tC vote solely because they
were Republicans. DO the Republican
voters at the coming election want to
place this power or more unjust one in
the hands OF the party which they have
been fighting twenty years or more in
Delaware? 1t is only by voting for one
set OF Republicans candidates at the
coming election that such an evil can be
averted. Delaware should and can give
Mckinley and Roosevelt its three elec
toral votes this fall. Republicans should
not forget this fact and keep it ever il
mind. With united party Delaware
can only be redeemed from Democrats
thraldom.

EXTREME HEAT YESTERDAY
Humidity and Sun Rays Liable TO
Cause Sunstroke If Conditions
COufinua

Wilmington was one Of the hottest
cities in the country yesterday. With
an atmosphere almost saturated with
moisture, com bined with temperature
that caused the thermometer to rise ten
degrees in few hours things we're de-
cidedly uncomfortable for the inhabi-
tants yesterday.
In the afternoon at . o'clock the
thermometer had climbed to 80 degrees
in the shade. Were nothing but this
temperature to be taken into considera-
ton it would only be an ordinarily warm
day, but to this heat must be added an
extraordinary high percentage OF hu-
midity. At o'clock yesterday morning
this marked eighty seven per cent. The
dampness combined with the heat makes
strong team, and is liable to land one
in the cracked ice bath.
The weather forcaster declares that
this is only ordinary weather, only &C.
companied by high humidity.
"We must expect this kind OF weather
now," he said. "Why in July we have
it SO and 95 right along. On May ID oi
this year we had temperature OF SO.
Then on the 14th it was 90,and the 18th,
SS. There are no indications of much
cooler weather in sight.
Symptoms ofSunstroke.
SIN this attack the skin becomes burn,
ing hot. There is no moisture upon it.
The patient becomes unconscious, an6
only in extreme cases is the ice BATH
used, Its purpose is to bring the tenn
perature down from lis to 100 degrees
When it is reduced to that, nature reas
serts herself and the normal temperature
is attained; stimulants and sprays arr
also used.
"The most common are the heat ex
haustion, or, the overcome by the hea
cases. These are known by the presenc'
of cold, cammy skin and great weak
ness with tired feeling. Stimulants aDC
rest, but no ice bath constitute treat
ment. Recovery nearly always follow
heat exhaustion.
ITO prevent heat strokes and exnaus
tion there must be an abstinence from
the use of alcoholic drinks,a careful diet
free drinking of cool water. Thos
working in the sun should wear we
sponge in the hat. Workers in heate
places should take frequent rests an,
throw water on their wrists"

COME In.

From the Dover State Sentinel
At last we have struck "hard pan."
Family feuds have been fought to a finish
and victory has perched upon our ban
ners. That part OF the fighting is over.
There may be, doubtless will be, some
little bushwhacking and guerilla work,
but the insurrection has been crushed
and henceforth the path is plain. There
are Just two political parties in the state,
and only two, that count-the Demo-
cratic and the Republican. The latter
embraces every man who is opposed to
Democracy. And it does not matter what
you cali him, Union or Regular-we
spell it now with capital r. For our
selves we like the old prefix, Union. 1t
has endeared itself to the vast majority
and we doubt if it would be wise to drop
it. The same may be said OF the emblem,
the star. In hoe signo vinces. Our rally
ing cry has been Union, our emblem the
star. But to those who prefer the word
regular we have place for them in the
big tent. We have the stamp OF regular
ity, and the pa ent royal for the appro
priation OF the name, from the court oil
last resort. We are Union Republicans
we are Regulars; We are the old guard
we are the whole show. Besides, we are
in good humor and good health. The
laich string to our lodge hangs on the
outside. Any man can enter and become
one OF US. We invite everybody TO tbs
royal feast OF tat things. We will make
him welcome and he shall be part ol
the family. Come in, come a-running
Let by-gones be by-goneE and let's forn
an army that will prove invincible .anC
march at once against the totterini
will be big enough for all OF us. Ant
after the victory we'll shake the plum
tree and everybody may scramble for tn
fruit. Let US have peace.

MIR. HANDY'S HENCHMAN.

From the Daily Republican.
Talk about imperialism which the
Democrats of Delaware in convention
assembled at Dover on Tuesday, con-
demned in strong language was prac-
ticed by the same convention. The old
state central committee were uncer-
moniously ousted and new committee
was authorized to be appointed by the
chairman OF the convention, Mr.. Caha!l.
As he is a henchman OF L. Irving Handy
the committee will be made out by Mr..
Handy and announced by Mr.. Cahall,
1t shows what Democracy is capable Of
in Delaware if they have the power Of
making laws put in their hands.
