PENNYPAoKER LAUDs QUAY

Judge Pennypacker, the Republican
nominee for governor OF Pennsylvania,
amazed all OF his friends when, in a
magazine article, he entered into a
fulsome endorsement of Quay. When,
in turn. he was nominated for COVER
nor, had he not been man of such
eminent qualities. the idea OF a bargain
would have found wide acceptance. As
il was. the people regarded it rather
as the opinion Of a recluse who under
stood little Of actual political condi-
tions.
But the other day he was injudicious
enough to allow himself to be inter
viewed on his former utterance. and
unwise enough to amplify and enlarge
upon it. He makes of Quay one of the
wisest men one of the loftiest patriots
OF the time He compares him to Clay
and Webster. calling him 'in many
ways a man of more power and great
er" than either. Unless contemporary
history is utterly wrong, the remarks
Of Judge Pennypacker may be regard
ed as an insult to general intelligence,
for whatever Quay is, he is not what
the Judge would make of him. There
is a general feeling that Judge Penny
packer is going so far in his desire tC
hatter his patron that he will make II
difficult for many of his former ad'
mirers to vote for him.

The patience of fishermen who really
love the sport is the theme of many
stories. One is told by a man who,
travelling on foot through part Of Eng
land, came upon a solitary fisherman
who looked as if time and the world
might pass away without disturbing
his content.
''Have you fished long in this
stream?" asked the traveller.
Eighteen year." was the calm re-
sponse.
"Get many bltes?" was the next
question.
The fisherman scarcely turned his
gaze from the rod in his hands.

tional affairs has been sometimes as
queer as that Of New Jersey, and every
body knows that by the old saying.
New Jersey is not a part of the United
States. However. all Delaware's pc
culiarities are laid down in the history
books.
For the past five years or more John
Edward Addicks has been in control OF
the State OF Delaware. Now John Ed
ward Addicks is a very smooth citizen
He acquired the nickname of Gas Ad-
dicks because HE had strenuous views
on the subject of a commodity. The
Bay State Gas Company, of Boston;
the Peoples Gas Light Company, Of
Buffalo, and various other corpora
tions were the fruits of his labor. In
dealing with those whom he seeks to
devour his watchword Is ever, Battle.
Murder and Sudden Death" when il
comes to competition. He usually
wins. He is a great man. Nobody
can handicap success, and success has
been given to John Edward Addicks
with no sparing hand. His opponents
have called to their aid the Good Lord
deliver us OF the prayerbCok without
avail. John Edward Addicks held the
state OF Delaware in the hollow of his
hand and when he called seven, seven
came up-unwillingly, perhaps, but still
Il appeared.
Since 1899 Delaware has been with
out representation in the United States
Senate. A State which had furnished
such men as Bayard and Gray to the
councils of the nation was left unrepre-
sented, because, forsoOth, john Edward
Addlclu5 wanted to be a senator and
the people Of the State thought there
were better men.
Delaware has come to realizing
sense of her position. She
wants senators. She wants her
voice heard in the affairs of the Ma
ton. She believes She has a right to
be heard through other mouths than
that Of John Edward Addicks.
So It comes about that there will be
an election this fall in which the Demo-
Gratis see q chance to control the Leg
islature. and Thereby send to the Sen
ate two members Of their party final
lv beating the Addicks and anti-Ad-
dicks crowd of Republicans.
The Republicans of Delaware do not
want this to occur. They believe that
the welfare Of the State is safer in the
hands of Republicans than in the hands
of the Democrats. Consequently they
propose a compromise.
The other day William Michael
Byrne. United States District Attorney
for Delaware. had an interview with
the President at Oyster Bay, and dis
cussed the matter After the inter-
view with Mr. Roosevelt. Mr.. Byrne
gave out this statement to the newspa-
pers:
We do not believe that the Republl-
cans of Delaware can afford to COM
promise. We do not believe that the
Republicans of Delaware must prosti-
uute party principles to the extent of
sending to the United States Senate
such a man as John Edward Addicks.
If two Democrats must be sent to
the Senate, let them be sent. Della
ware cannot AFFORD, and the United
States at large cannot afford to make
league with apparent evil for the
sake Of keeping two good Democrats
out of the Senate.

THE YANADls OF INDIA.
Some of the Peculiar Customs of
This Queer Tribe.

This Queer Tribe.
In the Nellore district Of the Madras
presidency live the Yanadis, a strange
tribe, as may be seen from a report
which has been issued by the authori-
ties of the Madras government muse
um. They live in forests and that they
are little removed from savagery is
Indicated by the absence of implement
tai or monumental material, the ami
mistic nature of their religion, the
primitive hunting and fishing methods
followed by many of the tribe and the
habit Of eating the almost raw flesh
of the game they kill after slightly
heating or scorching it. They are fear
less in catching cobras, which they
draw out of their holes without any
fear Of their fangs, and it is supposed
that they protect themselves against
the effects of snake bites by swallow
ing the poison sacs of the snakes. Es-
pecially singular is the manner in
which they produce fire by friction.
For this purpose they prepare two
stocks, one short, the other long. In
the former a square cavity is made,
and it is held firmly in the ground
while the long stock is twirled rapidly
to and fro in the hole. Instead of
charcoal powder they use rags or even
dried leaves, which they find little diff
ficulty In lighting.

FREQUENCY OF DESTRUCTIVE
STORMS CAUSE NERVOUSNESS

The frequency with which severe
lectrical storms are occurring through
out the Peninsula, and the almost GER
talnty Of the discharges striking, and
in most instances valuable, farm prop
erty, has caused in the lower section
OF the State a veritable panic whenever
a storm arises.
Within the last few weeks more than
a score of barns have been struck by
lightning and destroyed. The aphorism
that like causes produce like effects
would seem to be vague and farfetched
when the analogy is made to apply to
the transit of the electric fluid. Yet
to a certain extent it holds good, in the
common law of mechanics, that motion
of itself always seeks the line of least
resistance Now what is the motion Of
electricity? One finds from the best
authorities that one constituent OF the
Atmosphere surrounding the earth is
fine impOnderable matter called ether
When the ether, on this wind Of
ether is in motion. it then becomes the
electricity OF the air, just the same
as wind lis the air in motion. Here
tofore a world of mystery has always
surrounded the genesis, or beginning
OF electricity, when in fact it really is
no mystery at all. In the phenomenon

wireless telegraphy is founded upon the
law of electricity traversing space
upon lines of the least resistance. Or

HG: Sep tember 20 and October
Is. The hours of sitting are
from - a. nm. 10 az M, and
from I 90 : y. nm.
The above should be borne in mind
by every voter. Those wishing to be
qualified for the primaries must take
advantage of one of the three days first
mentioned. II is we'll to remember, too,
that should anyone fail to register he
would not only miss being able to vote
at the general election, but would be
ineligible to take part in the primaries
and the municipal election next Spring.
The best thing to do is to register
tomorrow. Il may then be dismissed
from the mind with the assurance that
you are duly qualified. Many things
may happen, sickness, enforced absence
from the city, or other interferences
not now expected. 1t will cost no more
tomorrow than on any other day.
The man who wishes TO own his own
vote should save a dollar and go and
attend to this most important matter
He should not wait for solicitation,

snails. Place some snails on a pane of

as they move over it they will make
musical sounds similar to those which
a person can produce by wetting his
finger and then rubbing it around a
glass tumbler. Complete airs, he points
out, have been played on tumblers in
this way, and he expresses the opinion
that quite as good results can be OBJ
