result of the election In the United States
was received here by colonial steamer

are to ply between San Francisco and New
South Wales.

Prison binding Irvine will be sold
to farmers this season at 81 cents
per pound in small lots, or 81 cents
in lots of 10, 900 pounds or over.
This is two cents pound cheaper
than Irvine sold last year. The re-
duction is caused by the drop in the
cost of raw material. The prices
fixed by the prison management this
time are the same as the trust gets
from the dealers. So the dealers
can, if they wish, buy of the prison
factory instead of the Irvine trust.
The only difference is that if they
deal with the prison factory they
must pay cash. The farmers, buy
ing direct from the prison factory,
can save two cents pound on their
twine.-Ex.

Prof. Newcomb, the astrono-
mer, discussing the advance made
in that science during the last
century, says that mankind is
only beginning to learn some
thing of the truth; that the great
est victory of the astronomers in
the nineteenth century was the
determination of the exact motion
of the solar system, which is
moving in space at the rate of
10000 miles an hour, but no one
can tell whence it came or with
er it goeth. Another important
improvement is the application
of mechanical methods for re-
cording astronomical phenomena.
An astronomer of few yearsago
was compelled to keep his eyes
upon the stars and sketch mac
curately and imperfectly the OBJ
jects that passed before his Wis
ion. The introduction of auto
matte photography gives him an
exact record of every event
among the heavenly bodies, al
though he may see nothing of it

The Presiding Elder of the Metho-
dist church failed to adjust the diff
ferences existing in the church, and
division is inevitable. Those who
are opposed to Rev. Fay met on
Wednesday night and determined to
withdraw from the church so long as
Rev. Fay remains here as pastor.
The Union church people kindly
offered the use of their church for
Sunday morning services, and the
offer was accepted. A contract has
been made with DR.. Severance to
preach Sunday mornings at a liberal
salary. Rev. Severance will preach
to the people and all denominations
are cordially invited to attend the
services. Rev. Henry will preach
to the regular Union congregation
in the evenings.
1t is unfortunate for the Methodist
church that the Presiding Elder did
not succeed in ending the trouble,
but he held out the hope that per-
haps he could arrange a transfer in
sixty or ninety days, or at time
when it did not look so much like
Rev. Fay was forced out under pres
sure. But 1t now matters little to
those who have seeded from Mr..
Fay, they will enjoy good preaching
until the next conference makes
change.-Garden City Herald.
