AFTERMATH.

Lewis Morrison, the actor, met with a
serious accident recently at Bangor, Ne.
A private car occupied by himself, his
wife, his manager, and two servants was
destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning
Calais to Bangor over the Washington
County Railroad. The occupants escaped
in their night clothing, having lest all
their possessions, and the car was COM
pletely destroyed. The loss is estimated
at 100000 in wearing apparel, valuabies,
and so on. The car was valued at $4,000,
and belonged to Lily Langtry, from whom
it was leased.
Elida Wilbur, a beautiful San Fran
cisco girl, who had been in a trance for
mora than two years, died in that city
on Tuesday last. In February, 1885, she
was engaged to be married, but had a
falling out with her lover When found
she was lying ON a lounge in her room
and the gas was turned on. Efforts were
made to resuscitate her, but were only
partially successful, and she had re-
manned in q trance SINCE that time until
few days ago, when she opened her
eyes and seemed to recognize those
around her.
The Rev. Henry j. Calls, the pastor
of the African Zion Church, of Syracuse,
N. Y, was born a slave. He is Hamp-
ton graduate, has studied law, once de-
clined a nomination for member of the
Virginia Legislature, and since his en-
trance to the ministry has stumped the
Pacific Coast as a Mckinley campaign

which all 6 parties can unite 2 l:rle re
hundreds OF religious organizations. In
this country, and each one would rebel
I ri IS unwilling to accept. We readily en-
dorse everything that Is SAID inc behalf
sof the paramount Importance of moral
and religious training. but when 1t is
proposed to charge the public school
teachers with the duty of training chil-
drcn in religion. we must dissent most
cn,pt1attcally. Let the parents, the
churches. and the Sunday schools under
take that duty. and let each parent de-
eide what Kind of religious instruction
shall be given his children. Let the
teachers of the free schools sick to their.
own province and give the children that
kind OF instruction for which they are
employed and paid by the State.
These are words of wisdom, and fthe
public-schoo1 system in this country is
to be preserved the view which our
Franklin contemporary expresses must
be rigidly adhered to by the authoritie&
The whole system is in danger from two
sources-first from public school zealots
and second from religious zealots. There
arc some people who believe that the
State should furnish free education to
the children of the land, supply the indI-
gent with. clothing and books, and. If
necessary, with food, and compel all the
children TO attend school. In short, that
the State should undertake to train all
the children in Its own way in utter dis
regard of THE wishes or authority of pa
rents, There are others who believe
that the State should not only train the
intellect but should impart moral and
religious instruction as well. If these
zealots should succeed in their under
takings the public school system would
become menace to free government.
Therefore they are, unintentionally, the
for if the people generally should be
convinced that the public school system
was raising up a generation of socialists,
as sure as there is such a thing as Ameri-
can manhood, these schools would DE
abolished.
we believe Unpopular education. but
we believe in keeping it rigidly within
bounds. 1t is all right Tor the 5State 70
give the children of the State an oppor-.
tunity to Improve their minds, but when
ever the State undertakes to usurp pa
rental authority, to control the actions OF
the children, to give them religious and
moral instruction, and raise the children
I'D to regard themselves as the wards OF
government, that moment every principle
of Democracy is violated and outraged.
We have often said in this connection
and we repeat it, that, it were better to
have a nation of ignorant men than a
nation of educated pigmies. II education
does not strengthen individual character
and national character and promote those
great principles of government which
have ever been so dear to every true
American, then education is worse than
q failure.

his recent illness and that his life is
despaired Of.
SCOOP IN NEBRASKA.
Mckinley Away Ahead at the Latest
Report.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. S.-The Bee at noon
prints a table on the national ticket Civ
ing complete returns from IS counties and
estimates on ten other counties with one
precinct missing from each, out of a total
of 80 counties gives Mckinley 80, 22S;
Bryan, 1886. The same counties in 1896
gave Mckinley S5,476; Bryan, SO, SAT. This
is a net gain for Mckinley of 14,SO5.
Bryan's plurality in 1896 was 10, 500. With
this ratio of increase throughout the
missing counties. Mckinley will have a
plurality of about 5000 in the state.
There were 1000 to 5000 more votes
polled in the state than in 1896 and the
f~usionists claim these are missing from
the cities and towns, which have already
been heard from. and that the counties
yet unreported will give Bryan a small
plurality in the state.
= The state ticket is running close to the
vote on president and 1t may require the
official count to decide on governor and
other state offices. Both claim four out
OF the six congressman. The legislature
is closer h any other ticket. The
Douglas county delegation will be split
about in half between fusionists and re-
publicans. The latest returns Indicate
that neither side will have more than
five or six majority on joint ballot.

Of whom -four have since died-wounded,
is still unexplained. 1t is said it was
caused by a sergeant dropping a pro-
jectile which had been struggled in. For
some time after the accident the soldiers
refused to go ITO the assistance Of the
wounded, because another heap of pro-
~jectiles was lying in their vicinity. An
investigation is in progress.

the men are subjected while crossing

Paris, Nov. ga dispatch to the Ha-

high Chinese parsonage, says the re-
bellion being organized in south China
is running commerce, that the revenues
are decreasing and that the payment Of
the interest on the debt next spring is
doubtful.

dispatch adds, regret the delay in the

to the future. They are ready to accept
propositions based on M. Delcasse's pro-
posals, but it Is further asserted, the
foreign ministers are in the meanwhile
marking time and discussing secondary
questions.
The Chinese, the dispatch concludes,
regard the occupation Of the imperial
tombs at ST Lung as being more import
ant than the capture of the emperor and
dowager empress.

BILLED FOR
THIS YEAR
THE GREAT METEORIC SHOWER
WILL BE SEEN HERE NEXT
WEEK.
TO APPEAR
A YEAR AGO THIS MONTH.
But the Shower That Has a History
Will Positively Appear
Next Week.

The great meteoric shower which was
billed for November of last year and
which failed to put in an appearance is
once more billed for this month, and the
display according to onome will be
seen in Butttee, clouds permitting. next
Thursday and Friday mornings.
Prof.. N. r. Leonard, president of the
school OF mines in speaking of the prom
ised shower today said:
The great November meteoric shower
which has been billed from year to year
since about 1896, thus far has been very
disappointing. Many thousand observers
all over the world had devoted the even
ings Of November 10 and 16 for the past
three years to a diligent scrutiny of the
heavens in the hopes of seeing this great
celestial display.
There was almost no return for their
Watchfulness last year. 1t seemed as if
this shower, that has already a history
Oh more thar a thousand years, had re-
tired from bus; ness. Az a result of this
disappointment, which was very keenly
felt by The astronomers of both hemi-
spheres Professor Berberich of Berlin
began a careful investigation of the per-
tiI1NI Ildu Dteu encountered
by this stream since it's last return in
1867.
AS a result of this, he found that
since that return, part of the stream
that the earth should have passed
through in 1897. 1898 and 1899 had passed
near to the planet Jupiter, and as a re-
suit it's path had been so far changed
that the part that we should have
passed Through in 1897 crossed our orbit
$1,000 900 miles outside of the earth's
path, and that the part we should have
passed through in 1898 was 500, 900 miles
inside of the earth's path.
Temples comet, which is a part OF
this meteoric stream, crossed the earth's
orbit on January 20, 1900, or about 10
months Ago.. Its point of crossing was
600, 600 miles inside of the earth's path.
1.-The region about this comet is prob
ably richer in meteoric matter than
other parts Of he stream. 1t will be
seen THAT had we crossed at that place
we should probably have witnessed the
gra4ldest meteoric display of the ages,
exceeding that of 1888.
Tha part of the storm we
shall pas through on November
Is nd l6 of this year has probably not
experienced the perturbations of those
parts which we passed through in 1897,
1898 and 1899. There is, therefore, a
~reasonab BILE probability that on Thurs
tay and Friday mornings of next week
we shall have a very fine star shower.
It is hoped that many of our citizens
will take the opportunity to keep a look
out for these meteors. The scene
will he a great one. Nothing could exceed
the grandeur of these celestial fireworks
when seen at their best. The moon will
have waned SO far by that time thai it's
light will not interfere p~erceptibly with
observation of even the smallest meteors.
These meteors appear in the latter part
of the night. There is seldom any dis
play before midnight and generally not
before 1870 or 2 O'Clock in the morning,
