The 'twerty-fourth anniversary of
Pope Leo XIII accession to the throne
of st. Peter occurred on February 20,
IThe ninety-second birthday of the aged
P0mff fell on March 2, and the
anniverary of his coronation on March
3. All Christendom will join in COM
memorating the date by the solemnity
of the Papal jubilee. Twenty-Five
years is the usual measure of a long
life of labor. History later will decide
what rank Leo XIII shall take among
the great Popes. There are four classes
of Popes: The saints, the learned men,
the reformers, the statesmen Saint
Plus ", Gregory VII, Innocent I'LL,
Sixtus V. The Papacy has known
glories as immaculate, lights as brill
liant, powers as fruitful, influences as
strongly pervading. 1t has never had
a Pope of gifts so universal.
Leo XIII is the two hundred and
sixty-thi d successor of st. Peter, and
he has worn the triple crown longer
than any other man since the first
Pontlff except Plus TX. He is already
the oldest man that ever sat in Peters
chair, save perhaps Gregory TX, who,
according to some authorities, was 100
years old when he died.

''As to the matter of Voters Assist
ants" Says the Dover State Sentinel,
''the public have not forgotten the
theft of the ballot in 1896 by these
same election officers. 1t has not for
cotton that the Democratic party con-
spired to deprive the Union Republican
party of single one of these election
officials iu every district in the State
In that campaign. 1t has not ceased
to remember that Sussex was thus
lost to the Union Republicans-with
little iudlclous false counting-and
that in spite of the lack of Voters As
sistants, the Union Republicans of
Kent carried the election, and the
courts 80 declared, after it was too
late-something of a habit, by the
way. The EOery Evening is now
squealing. Why? Because the Unior
Republicans will under the new law
have an equal chance with the Demo
Gratis which they have not had since
1894. We can very well und 0rstand
what worries this hybrid in journalism.
1t says to itself: eff these irrepressi-
BILE disturbers of our a4cient peace
shall have an equal standing on cleo
ton day, what will happen?" We have
noticed that the EO1ry EOenirlg is a
very loud-voiced ,reformer when the
other side is in and has nothing to
say against th most Infamous acts of

WILLIAM MARCoNI, armed with unmis-
taxable evidence of what he considers
the greatest feat yet achieved in the
field of wireless telegraphy, arrived in
this country Saturday on the American
Line steamship Philadelphia, on
which, in mid-ocean, he had received
an actual wireless message 1875 sta
tute miles from his sending station at
Poldhu, Cornwall, and on which the
signal letter IS, +" made famous by his
experiments at Newfoundland, was re-
ceived at distance of 1000 miles from
the sender. Mr.. Marconi announces
moreover, that he will have stations on
Cape Cod and in Nova Scotia in a
short time and that they will be ready
in three months for the transmission
of transatlantic commercial messages.
This is truly one of the greatest won
ders of the age, and if success attends
his efforts in the future as they have
in the past, he will yet carry out his
expectation of sending wireless mes
sages around the world.

~ summary of crop conditions:
ALTHOUGH the week was cool in

with more than the average rainfall
IN portions of the upper Mississippi
valley, maturing crops have made
generally favorable though not rapid
advancement. The greater part of
Texas, in which state severe drought
prevailed at the close of the previous
week, mas received abundant rainfall,
and drought conditions in the mid
Ole Atlantic coast districts have also
been largely relieved, but the in
terror of the middle Atlantic states,
Ohio valley, and portions of the low
er lake region and south Atlantic
states continue to need rain. Light
to heavy frosts were very general in
the northern districts from Montana
to New England and the middle At
lantic states from the Sd to the 9Th,
with but slight injury. Rain is much
needed in Washington and Oregon.
but otherwise the general conditions
on the Pacific coast were favorable
Notwithstanding the prevalence
of low temperature throughout the
corn belt, and copious rainfalls in
portions of the Mississippi valley, the
corn crop has made very satisfactory
advancement toward maturity and
wholly escaped injury in the states
eastward of the Mississippi river
from frosts occurring on the 4th and
5th, with but slight injury in the
states to the westward. The bulk
of the corn crop in Missouri and Kan
sas and much of the early planted
in Nebraska and the states of the
Ohio valley are now safe. In Iowa,
where corn has ripened very slowly
two-thirds of the crop will probably
be safe by September 20, and the
balance will require ten days longer
'In The states of the upper lake
region the reports respecting apples
are favorable, while those from New
York and New England are variable

sections, with plentiful yields in 9th.

RAIN SINKS A BARGE.
Boat Loaded with Crushed Stone
Meets with Peculiar Accident at
DetrOit-Two of Crew Perish.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 10.-The steam
barge H. Houghten, owned in this city,
sank at her dock at the foot of Dubois
street, early Tuesday. Two of the
crew were drowned in their berths
The names:
William Daniel, aged 16, no home.
Edward Close, aged IS, Harbor
Beach, Mich.
The Houghten arrived Monday night
from Kelly's Island, in Lake Erie, with
load of crushed stone. It is thought
that the cargo of crushed stone alb
sorbed SO much water during the heavy
rain Monday night that the weight of
the water caused the vessel to careen
and finally tip and sink. The Hough-
Zen is owned by Capt. Degg and Henry
Houghten, of this city. Capt. Degg was
aboard the barge, but managed to
scramble ashore before she sank.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The sum of
gold now in the United States treasury
exceeds that of any previous time in the
history of the country and with one
possible exception, it exceeds that of

that time Russia is said to have had
in its treasury $59s.0oO,00o in gold.
Last Saturday the vaults of the Unit
ed States treasury contained 1913 1885,

$79.OS7, S9?. This stock of gold is now
being added to at the rate of 100000
to 100000 a day, with no immediate
prospect of cessation in the rate of
deposits.
