FIGHT FOR SENATORSHIP
WORKS UP LEGISLATURE
BALLOTING WILL BEGIN NEXT TUESDAY
NOON AT DOVER IN JOINT SESSION.
State Senators Ellison, Knox and Repre-
senatives Clark, HOdgsOn and Pilling,
May Prevent an Election.

May Prevent an Election.
The question of who shall be the
Senators is the one now agitating the
public mind. 1t cannot be settled
until Tuesday of next week. The
Union Republicans feel very confident
that Addicks will be one of them. The
staff correspondent of the E'Uery EUen-
ing writing from Dover on Saturday
says;
A grave responsibility rests upon
State Senators Harry G. Ellison and
Samuel NJ. Knox and Representative
Theodore F. Clark, Richard Hodgson,
and Richard L. Pilling, the Regular
Republicans who, it is said, have de-
clared they will not vote for John Ed
ward Addicks for United Ststes Sena-
tor. The result of the Senatorial bat
tie, which will begin Tuesday, Janu-
ary 18th, depends on their action.
United, they can possess that vantage
points; united, they can successfully
resist the attacks made by the enemy;
united, they can emerge from the
smoke and din of the strife triumph
antly. To achieve the victory, they
must fight increasingly; never meet
their combatants under a flag of truce.
That the key to the Senatorial situation
is in their possession cannot be dis
puted. They can create deadlock;
they can say whether two Republicans
shall be elected, one Union Republi-
can (Addicks) and the other a Regular
Republican; they can say whether
Republican and a Democrat shall be
elected; they possibly can say whether
two Regular Republicans shall be
elected. All five now have their hands
on the coveted key; if one of them re-
linquishes his grasp, Addicks will
snatch it from the other four.
Addicks Has a Chance.
The Philadelphia Press, of Monday
had the following from it's Dover cor.
respondent:
political experts co Mess that the
Union Republicans, or Addicksites,
hold the key to the situation; that
while it is possible that the Regulars
could combine with the Democrats
yet not enough Democrats could be Sc
cured, owing to factional hatred withir
their lines, to elect Regular Republi
can and Democrat, that anyhow sucl
q course would be suicidal for the Re
publicans and would be throwing ava!
the advantages for which the party ha
: been struggling for a generation.
At the present time each party is
split into factions. There are irrecon
cilables in both parties Among tn
,, Democrats United States Senator Ken
: ney, Peter J. Ford, Willard Sauls
bury, John Biggs, and l.. Irwin
handy control the votes in the Legis
lature. Among the Republicans of tn
Regulars" stripe ex-senator Anthon

Addicks has absolutely the eightee

The sinasous Tongue OF china.

Nj. Elson, writing of Chinese vocal
music in The Musical Record, says
that the voice in China is trained to
much tleNibility by the ~exigencies Of
the language. The Chinese is in one
sense the most musical of languages,
as i word acquires half a dozen differ
ent signiticationS, according to the
pitch of voice or infection with which
it is pronounced.
A spoken word in the Chinese Ian
guage has different meaning, accord
Ing to the infection with which it is
pronounced. The number of words is
small, the ideas that may be conveyed
by them are many. Thus foreigners
are led into endless complications and
misunderstanding. For example, the
word tchu. pronounced clearly with the
vowel of medium length, can mas
ter" but by extending the vowel a
tritie it signifies hog 1t also means
Column" and cookery"
The syllable "po' has II different
meanings-"glass,' boil captive"
prepare" etc, each of which must be
pronounced with a different pitch and
infection.
Among the original words are some
which decidedly are taken from ma
ture, such as "tchung" (belD and "miau"
(caD, but these are very few.
Some authors have endeavored to
show from these facts that the Chinese
Is in all respects a musical language,
but this can hardly be conceded, for
the infections spoken of are so slight
as to escape the European ear, which
surely would not be the case if they
were really musical notes.

A Chemical Detective.

\ detective was employed by one Of
London's west end clubs to discover a
certain pilferer who had caused much
annoyance to the members by helping
himself to cigars and other articles
from their overcoat pockets. The dis
ciple of Sherlock Holmes smeared a
number of cigars with aniline dyes,
placed them in the pockets of several
overcoats and next morning carefully
scrutinized the mouths of the club
servants, with the result that the cul-
prit was found and persuaded to con-
fess.

A Trout Nurse.

In wild Life In Hampshire High
lands Mr.. George A. B. Dewar gives
this incident, which, he declares, pre-
sented fishing in a new light and for a
time took the edge off his pleasure in
that sport:
l was fishing n day at Testcombe,
where the Anton joins the Test, when
saw swimming slowly along the side
of the stream just below me a large
black trout of about two pounds. 1t
was a year when there were many
fish suffering from fungoid disease,
and this trout had the fungus all over
its head and was evidently quite blind.
Behind this sick trout was a fine,
healthy trout of about one and a half
pounds. Both swan slowly along close
to the side, so that l was able to watch
them for about ten minutes. The
healthy trout was watching over the
SICK one. Whenever the sick fish got
too near the edge of the stream, the
healthy one would swim inside and
gently push the former in the side
with its nose and so get it out into
deeper water.
This was done repeatedly until I
put my landing net under the diseased
fish and took it out of the water, when
the healthy one left the spot. l have
not the slightest doubt that the healthy
fish had taken charge of the sick one.
Up to that time l had always been
accustomed to look on fish as very
cold blooded creatures.
