Tuesday was the first registration day
for the coming November election. and
passed off very quietly. The Democrats
are more than pleased with the result,
as it shows net gain over that of last
year of 237 over and above that of the
combined Republican and non-commit-
tai vote.
The registration in 1900 was as fol.
lows: Democrats, 598; Republicans,
616; Non-Committal, 69 Total, 1888
In 1899, there was a total of 1,16S
voters registered.
Below is the result of the registration

The Democrats have every reason to
congratulate themselves over the result,
as it shows an overwhelming Democratic
victory in November. The Republicans
are correspondingly blne, aud admit
their chances are at a low ebb Demo
Gratis, however, should not lose interest
on account of this good showing, but
should use every effort to make the VIC
torv complete and lasting one.

1t is evident from the testimony al
ready heard that the orders given tc
Schley were like the darkey's coon trap,

there was a plot to get Schley Into
trouble with the Navy Department, re-

Trouble With n Telescone.

Continued observation with the tele-
scope of the Yerkes observatory re-
vealed the unpleasant existence of u
number of curious streaks of light run
ming horizontally, whose appearance
had certainly never been noticed be-
fore and gave rise to redoubled I'M
easiness. And yet everything seemed
right with the glass viewed externally
and the most searching investigation
could discover no cause.
AT last in desperation the eyepiece
end was unscrewed, and Professor
Ellerman. the slimmest of the party,
was hidden to crawl. as he we'll could
do, along in the tube itself, and see if
he could discover aught amiss. He
crept along well enough. SO wide is the
tube, till he got beyond the center,
when the telescope began to turn over
with his weight. and he would have
slid down OH the top of the glass had
not the other end been promptly seized
and held fast. Then he continued his
journey, and in another moment had
discovered the unsupported author Of
the mischief, an overindustrious spider
and her equally hardworking progeny,
who had succeeded in filling up the
entire end of the tube with mass Of
cobwebs in the hope of catching what
must have been wholly imaginary flies.
The webs and their spiders were care
fully removed, and from that day to
this the behavior of the Yerkes 40 inch
glass has been all that heart could de-
sire.-Good Words.
