New Jersey has four delegates a,
large instructed for Hearst as n con.
testing delegation. Ohio has two dele.
gates instructed for Tom johnson.
which are not included in the above
table.
The conviction Il growing among
Democrats that Notwithstanding the
wave OF Parker sentiment which swept
over the country after the New York
state convention, the Democratic
presidential nomination IL yet an open
question, any mans hight. Realizing
this fact, Senator Germans friends are
preparing TO resume efforts in behalf
OF his candidacy.
IL IL reported that Murray vandiver.
the Democratic state chairman of
Maryland, has engaged 10 rooms at
the Southern hotel In 81. Louis and
will open German headquarters. IN
doubtedly the. reservation indicates
something doing among the Mary
lsnders, as It 10 not 20 be supposed
that the MARYLAND delegation to the
convention would occupy g rooms at
the current market quotations for
rooms at st. Louis Just for sleeping
purposes alone.
senator German, It is generally un-
deistood, will contest in a friednly
way with Judge Parker for the nomi-
nation, and with the expected dark
horse" for whom both candidates are
looking. Senator German thinks that
the Hearst movement in the south has
been checked and be 10 willing to go
into the convention and take his
chances against Judge Parker. The
practice Of securing instructed dele
gates, which was insugurated by Mr..
Hearst, has been stopped It now
looks - il large proportion of the
delegates to the convention will be
unipstructed.
Charles A Towne Of Minnesota and
New York, is the latest suggestion
for the Democratic nominee for presi.
dent. Senator German is the authority
for the announcement that thoughtful
Democrats are carefully taking the
measurements Of Mr.. Towne with a
view to bringing him forward ct the
proper moment in the interests of
harmony

THE NATURE OF STARS.
Why They Range From White to
Dull Rcd In Color.


The very constitution of stars implies
the presence of some that are dark Ev-
cry one of them is more or less quickly
using up fiery matter which is never
long at one temperature; hence their
range of colors, from incandcscent
white or BLUSH white to dull red pre-
ceding darkness, the ultimate goal Of
all.
The so called temporary stars, Of
which no fewer than twenty seven have
been noticed in historic time, wax and
wane with maximum and minimum
brilliancy. sometimes within the short
period Of sixteen months, as Tychos
star in 1872, and then become dark bod

Many bright stars are known hy the
periodic doubling of certain spectral
lines or hi curious pertlrbations to be

The absorption of light in passing
through space. especially in distances

stars to exceed by millions the bright
ones, and this is supposed TO render
many OF them quite dark to us.
