PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October g.
The determination of the Times, which
four years ago opposed Mr.. Bryan to
the extent of its great ability, to sup
port the Democratic national ticket In
this campaign, has created consterna-
ton and dismay among the Republican
ring politicians of this city and Eastern
Pennsylvania generally. The change OF
front by the Times, coming as it does
right upon the heels of the amalgama-
ton of the Municipal League, the regu-
lar Democrats and the Republicans who
favor reform in this city and State, Is
a heavy blow, and one which makes
sure the political renovation of this
city, and a big cut in the Republican
majority in this State, involving the
loss, perhaps, of several Congressman
to the party now controlling the House
of Representatives at Washington.
The Times this morning contains
kilograms of congratulatory and ap-
preciative nature from William Jen-
nings Bryan, Adlai e. Stevenson, State
Chairman John E. Ancona, Democratic
State Chairman Frank Campbell, OF
New York, j. NJ Guffey, of Pittsburg,
member of the Democratic national
committee, Hon. David B. Hill, Rich
ard Croker, Willard Salisbury, chair
man of the Delaware Democratic State
committee, and many others equally
notable.
Editorially the Times says:
The Times declaration of its advo-
cacy of Bryan and Stevenson and its
purpose to support the Democratic
party in this national crisis, caused a
SILVER yesterday among the followers of
Mckinley and delight among the oppo-
nents of Imperialism and of government
by trusts.
THE wide recognition of its impor-
lance is shown by the many spontane-
GUS congratulations received from lead
ing Democrats all over the country,
including the candidates themselves as
well as many Of their active supporte-
rs, and equally by the expressions of
sympathy and support from Democrat
ic organizations and from independent
voters who welcome the hearty aid of
the Times in the battle for free insti-
buttons.
While political interests must oc-
cupy a dominant place during such a
contest, the Times has never allowed
anything to interfere with it's we'll
established character as a truthful
newspaper. Its readers will always
find in it all the news, clearly and hon
estly set forth. But they will never
be left in doubt of its convictions, and
Americans who still believe in the
Declaration of independence are right
in counting upon it as resolutely on
their side.
THE Democrats of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware in particu-
lar are entitled to a representative
newspaper devoted to their cause.
They have not been slow to recognize
the earnest purpose of the Times and
to give it welcome. Their cordial APP
prevail is priced and is fresh inspir-
alton to effort in their service, in the
maintenance of the principles that
Americans hold dear"

CHARLESTON. Oct. 2.--The last
hope tbssRepublicans had of carrying

day. when the county court refused TO

Republican county committee presents

What is lyddi-sE The high explosive
thus called from the name of the small
Kentish town and gunnery center
where the experiments with it were
made is nothing less than picric acid
brought into q dense state by fusion.
Picric acid is n bright yellow sub
stance freely used in peaceful indus
tries for dyeing purposes. 1t IS OBJ
tained by the action Of nitric acid on
phenol or carbolic acid. 1t burns very
violently, and. owing to the tremen-
dous blast produced 10y the explosion,
the destructive effect of bursting
shell filled with it is some II times
greater than that of Il shell filed with
powder.
All lyddite shells are equipped with
percussion nose fuses only; hence their
explosion takes place on impact in the
following fashion: The percussion fuse
ignites picric powder eXploder which
in turn igntes the bursting charge of
lyddite, the detonation of the fuse and
of the two explosives inside the shell
being instantaneous. The picric pow
der exploder, we should add, is insert
ed in q recess left in the lyddite for
that purpose. Lyddite shell is to some
extent less barbarous than Shrapnel
exploded by powder. for, though wide
spread, its death dealing effects are
due more to air concussion than TO the
wounding effects of the flying frag-
ments. In other words, in the case OF
a lyddite shell bursting in a group of
men, the greater number will be killed
not by pieces of the shell, but by the
blow of the Suddenly compressed air.

A pretentious poet got his verses sub
mitted to Charles Lamb by friend

at dinner Lamb found the verses to
be feeble echoes of other poets, and
when the author arrived he was seen
TO be as empty as his verses. This
awakened Lambs spirit of mischie-

course of conversation:
That reminds me of some verses |
wrote when l was young, and then he
quoted a line or two which he recol-
lected from the poets book, to the lat

was diverted immensely, but kept per-
fectly serious and quoted more lines i'll

ging the company to remember how
young he was when he composed them.

him.
Lamb capped all by introducing the
first lines OF Paradise Lost" t'Of
