solI cnlturn nlaoovery.

From the Knoxville Journal and Tribune
A discovery that has attracted wide
spread interest throughout the country
and which should be Of special slgnifi-
cance TO the farmers is that OF the prac-
tical application to the soil OF nitrogen
fixing bacteria. The discovery was
made several years ago by a German
professor, but he was unsuccessful in
his attempts to apply his knowledge,
and It has only been lately brought to
that state Of perfection whereby IL can
be taken by the farmer and introduced
into the soil.
Tho name Of the man to whom the
credit OF this achievement is due is Dr.
George 7. Moore. head Of the laboratory
of plant physiology Of the Department
of Agriculture. DR.. Moore patented
his process and then magnanimously
decided his patent to the Department
of Agriculture in trust for the Amerl-
can people.
Scientists have long since possessed
the knowledge that one Of the most
important elements in the food Of plant
life is nitrogen. The German professor
discovered that some plants, such as
peas. beans, etc, gather more nitrogen
from the atmosphere than others.
Therefore after a crop Of peas or BEANS
the soil is left IN better condition, and
the yield OF the succeeding crop Is Inn
proved. His next step was to deter
mine that on the roots Of the plants
that produced improvement IN the soil
were numbers OF rounded bulbs, called
nodules, and a subsequent examina-
tion proved these nodules to be the
habltation Of millions of microbes that
were continually absorbing nitrogen
from the air and converting It into
food for the plant.
DR.. Moore's discovery was that OF
a method whereby these germs can be
gathered and multiplied and finally
distributed with the soil, there to abb
sorb the nitrogen from the air and in
fuse It into the life Of the plant. He
has perfected an arrangement whereby
he can fill a small piece of cotton with
millions Of the germs and after dry
ing it send It TO any part Of the country
for application.

CHURCHES

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 17.-One of the
most important meetings in the his
tory of the Protestant churches in this
country will be held in New York city

the union Of Protestant churches of all
denominations will be the chief topic
Of discussion at this conference, at
which delegates from the Baptist,
Presbyterian, Lutheran, Protestant
Episcopal, Methodist and other denom-
nations will be present The an
nouncement Of this general convention
Of the Protestant churches Of America
was made by the Rev. DR.. w. H. Rob-
erts, of Philadelphia, the chairman Of
the committee on arrangements for the
convention, at the meeting Of the
American commission appointed to ar
range an alliance of Presbyterian and

following lines:
one man OF wealth, leisure and pub

PASSING of snelIhinder.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The campaigns Of two candidates who
won notable victories were marked by
the liberal and novel use OF advertising
Mr. Cortelyou inserted pages Of
special aud costly advertising IN high
class magazines and periodicals and IN
selected newspapers, containing judicl-
Gus praise of President Roosevelt. The
advertisements were carefully and clev-
orly constructed They contained a
few inspiring quotations from Mr.
Roosevelt's speeches and writings,
few praiseful opinions OF Mr..
Roosevelts character and career from
men Of note ana a brief sketch of the
man and his deeds. The man was the
theme. Somo prominent Republicans
made speeches and a few spellbinders
were employed, but undoubtedly the
largest single item IN the bill of ex-
penses was advertising.
Gov-eleot Douglass OF Massachusetts,
who accomplished the remarkable feat
Of getting elected Governor as a Demo-
crat in a Republican landslide, an
nounced that he would do his cam
paigning through the newspapers and
periodicals. He advertised his polti-
cal opinions and pledges Just as he
advertises his shoes.
That intelligent advertising OF this
kind is potent cannot be gainsaid. Tho
results indicate il. But do not these
advertising experiments pressage the
passing Of the spellbinders?

THE TRUE REMEDY.

A WE see the matter-and we
\ think we see It clearly-the one
means by which the buying of votes
may be broken up. is to make It inn
possible for the purchaser to tell with
any degree Of certainty how the pur-
chased man has voted.
Democrats. Republicans and REFORM
ers may denounce bribery tin dooms-
day but it win go right on as long as
elections are close and there is money
to command-unless there are barriers
in our election laws to make it DIM
cult.
Senator Connor favored the reten-
ton Of the voters assistants because
they insure the delivery OF the goods"
We are certain that decency and the
elimination OF bribery require a condi-
tion under which the briber win have
no guarantee that his goods have beer
delivered.
There would be little bribery II tn,
conditions were such that the bribei
had nothing to rely upon but the wor,
Of the man he had bought. For th
man who viii sell his vote. unde
sufficient provocation, viii lie.
Republicans say that without the us
of dollar in this State they coul
win; Democrats seem confident tha
they could win. Under these condi
tions. wouldn't it be well to devise
scheme under which bribery would b.
eliminated, and allow the best part.
to win?
We say as the result Of considerabl,
thought that it is possible 10 frame
law to practically eliminate bribery
by making It too uncertain, and al
the same time to make it easy for tn,
unlettered man to vote as he chooses
DO the people Of Delaware went such
a law? That's what we want to know
Let's not quibble by saying that 4
isn't worse here than in all the othe
States: it isn't true. For instance. 4
Is a close estimate to say that s6O. .OO
was spent in Sussex county at tn
late election. That is an average o
about SC for every voter In the county
At the same rate to carry a natlona
election would require a fund Of $50
100000. There would be something o
howl were the National Commits
to secure from the trusts that sum t,

Never neglect your health.
If you have pain in the back, urinary
disorders, dizziness and nervousness,

disease without experimenting, do not
fail TO use 1t. Others have been cured
and cured permanently. Why not fol-

and be cured yourself?
A. G. Wivel, dealer in boots and shoes
at 3rd and Market Sts., Wilmington
Del, living at SOC w. Eleventh St., says;
Sometime during the year 1897 gave
for publication a statement about my
experience with Doan's Kidney Pills
They had cured me of backache and
a lameness through the kidneys which
had clung to me for some time. When
the spells We're most severe 1 felt as
II my back was broken. I used differ
ent remedies but found little, II any,
benefit until I got Doan's Kidney Pills
at Danforth's drug store. As I stated,
IN 1897 this remedy cured me. and now
that seven years have passed. 1t is a
great pleasure for me TO say that the
cure has been permanent and have
had no trouble during the past seven
years. Many persons have called at

TEACHERS INSTITUTE HERE.

THE teachers OF New Castle county
Il outside of the city Of Wilmington
will hold their institute in Wilmington
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday OF
next week under the direction OF SUI
.perlntendent Spaid.
This win be the first time that the
rural institute has been held in this
city, and Mr. spaid deserves praise for
the innovation. Besides being more
centrally located and more easy Of ac-
cess than any other town of the county,
the accommodation are more suitable
and ample.
The managers Of the New-Century
Club very generously placed their rooms
at the disposal Of the teachers and the
day sessions viii be held there; and
the Board Of Education has rendered
the auditorium Of the High School for
the two evening entertainments. We
trust that these win be well patronized
as the teachers have formed an associa-
tion, and amy surplus after paying the
expense Of the lecturers goes into the
common fund for the benefit Of all.
We bespeak for these teachers on this
their first official visit to the city a
hearty welcome from all who are in
terested IN educational matters-and
who IS not?

SOME PLAIN FACTS.

THE EVENING JOURNAL is proud
4 Of its progress and Is looking for
ward to even more progress In the
years to come. 1t has found itself"
and it's going on.
This little talk is moro for advertisers
than for anyone else particularly-but
that very fact Is its excuse for being
written.
Advertising is the greatest force In
business today. One New York depart
ment store spends 100000 on advertis-
ing; one OF the November magazines,
a newcomer in the field, carried s4s 200
worth Of advertising. Figures talk.
Circulation is one OF the great factors
in successful publicity. For years news
papers have been very backward in tell
ing clrculations-most of them still arc.
Others tell their circulation with ap-
parent franlSness-and then neglect to
tell how many copies are returned each
day. AS a matter Of fact It is abso-
lutely impossible to give accurate cir
culation figures until week after the
issue Of any days edition. Why9 Be
cause OF what is known as the return
privilege. At the present time all the
Wilmington newspapers accept from
their agents and the newsboys unsold
copies. exchanging today's edition for
yesterdays. Accurate count Of these
returns cannot be made from down the
state for at least a week after publica-
tion.
The Evening Journal is, 80 far. the
only paper to break away from the old
custom. II allows its agents to return
only ten per cent. OF the papers re-
ceived by them each day AS a matter
Of fact its returns average three per
eent-by all odds the lowest OF any
Wilmington paper.
The Evening Journal IS the only Will
mngton newspaper which registered a
large permanent gain during the sum-
mer.
Circulation is the yardstck IN meas
uring a papers worth TO the advertiser.
Quality is another matter. The Even
Ing Journal has more pulling power per
copy than any Of its esteemed contem-
poraries. Local advertisers have proved
this in the past two months to their
own satisfaction.
In advertising the thing that counts
is this;
Inc paper must bring results.
The Evening Journal has brought re-
suits where the other Wilmington pa
pers failed-we'd like to show the proofs
to any Interested advertiser. This. it
would seem, is fairly conclusive answer
to any query as to results.
Experience Is always the best teacher
and experience shows concluslvolv
that The Evening Journal does what n
promises.
This is the promise:
I'VE bring results"

MANY CLUBS WANT To
ESCORT THE PRESIDENT

Washington. Nov. II. - President
Roosevelt already is being offered spe-
cial escorts Of honor to attend him on
his Inauguration on the 4th Of March
next. Representative James F. Sher-
man, of New York, rendered him the
services Of the Conklin Unconditional
Club, Of Utica, N. Y. said to be one
Of the best drilled and marching clubs
In the country. The president replied
that If he should conclude to award
the place Of honor to a political or
ganization he would be glad to give the
proposition of the Utica club the pref
erence.
He indicated, however, that an offer
had been received from Troop A, of
Cleveland, which constituted the es-
cort of honor at the Inauguration Of
the late President Mckinley, and from
the organization Of his own regiment
Of Rough Riders to act in that ca
pacity at his Inauguration. No deter
mination of the question has been
reached, and it may be some time be-
fore the president announces his de-
cision.
