New Castle Nov. Although the

Delaware. For many years the low
lands about the fort have been
source of much trouble to government
officials as they have been the cause of
making the fort almost untenantable on

Democrats Schemine.
An interesting contest is being car

hundred. The Democrats are making
? an effort to throw out the ballots in

that they bore the name Of a Road
Commissioner whereas the law provides
that Road Comm. .ssioners shull not be

BEAT DELAWARE II TO 0
Haverford's Team With Exception Of
Centre, Composed Of Subs.

Haverford. Pa, Nov l2.-Haverford
defeUted Delaware College yesterday
afternoon on Walton Field by the score
of II to o. The low score was mainly
due to the fact that Haverford played
what was practically team of substi-
tutCs. Fleming. at centre. was the only
VARSITY man in his regular position.
Tho other Varsity men were kept on
the side lines for fear Of their going
stale. The subs put up a very credit
able game, although at times Delaware
made some big gains. The Haverford
onense was somewhat ragged and Della
ware once held for downs, with the ball
only a yard from the goal line. The
an-round work of c. c. Morris was cas-
ily the feature Of the game. He ran
back punts IN sensational style and
backed up the line in a magnificent
manner. His tackling was absolutely
deadly and he never failed to drop his
man. His good work may give him Il
place in the Swarthmore game although
it viii be hard to displace Haines at
quarter. Still Haines might be moved
10 halfback, i'm which case Morris would
certainly play quarter. Carol Browns
punting was also a noticeable feature
lie got his kicks off quickly and always
had good distance. For Delaware the
work Of Bevan and Lawson was notice.

A skyrocket consists OF two parts-a
body and n head made separately and

body is a straight cylinder OF heavy

so as to leave only a very narrow open

this is packed the special explosive

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 24.-Mr. Bryan
says editorially in his Commoner:
Those eminent Republican con-
gressmen who are endeavoring 70 re-
duce the south's representation in
congress, because OF the small number
of votes cast in many southern dis
tricts, should be careful. Especially is
this true of the Republican congress-
men from the districts included in tho
corporate limits Of the city OF Phila-
delphia-
Some curious southern congress-
man might take a notion TO investi-
gate the causes OF such a large vote
in the City of Brotherly Love. Phila,
delphia, with a population scarcely
more than one-third that OF New York
city, has a voting list OF nearly 100. 900
more than the city on Manhattan
Island.
"This strange state Of affairs may
be investigated II strenuous protec.
tionlsts like Representative Morrell. OF
Pennsylvania. insist on pushing the
Morrell bill to apportion representa-
tion in congress according to the
number Of votes cast rather than ac
cording to population"

COLOR IN FIREWORKS
HOW THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAZZLING
HUEs ARE PRODUCED.
1T j. All a Matter of chemistry, the

IL Is All a Matter OF chemistry, the
salts of Certain Metals - The Me-
chanics of Rotating Fireworks.
The chief beauty Of fireworks is
their range of resplendent colors-ru-
by. sapphire, emerald, topaz, amethyst,
aquamarine and scores Of tints and
shades between. How is all this evan
escent glory of color obtained? The Sc
cret lies in directed chemical cOmbus-
tlon by means Of cases and compost
tions, the results of marvellous calcula-
ton and skill.
The matter is simple enough to those
who know. 1t is attained by the COM
bustion of the salts Of certain metals.
In other words, the burning metals
have each their characteristic color.
Sodium gives of yellow flame; cal
cium, orange; barium, green; stronti-
um, red; copper, green or blue, accord
ing to circumstances, and so on. Other
familiar metals, iron, steel and zinc,
give their tribute of colOrs. Iron filings
give bright red and white sparks; cop
per filings, a green tint; zinc, fine
blue; steel filings and cast iron borings
brilliant fire with wavy radiations.
Every one is familiar with the color
ed fires, but who would suppose that
lycopodium, the delicate pollen Of GER
tain mosses, so fine that It is used to
powder baby's skin, furnishes a rose
colored fire with magnificent flannel
These colored fires are called in tech
nical language fixed fires" and con
sist Of slow compositions that may be
piled in little cones on fiagstone and
lighted at the top. They burn slowly
and there is no explosion. These com
positions are made in many colors.
Roman candles belong to the fixed
fire class and are also called fusees
We all know the straight. slender cyl
| inder or cartridge Of the ordinary TO
man candle. II is packed as follows
First there is put in 1t a charge Of I'm,
gunpowder, and above this is placed {
"star." These are simply balls of som,
special composition containing metalli,
filings, according 70 the color desired
| hN WIN sun anu HlAAAAo VI W liA1
Stars and charges alternate until tn,
cylinder is full. Each star ball Is drieC
and busted with guupowder before
packing. The first charge of gunpOw
der IN exploding starts the stellar pro
cession until one after another they
blaze individually and vanish like fall
ing stars. Next in order to the fixed
fires come rotating fireworks namely
wheels, fire wheels. bisecting wheels
plural wheels. caprice wheels and
spiral wheels, all more or less com
plex.
The colors Of fireworks are a matter
Of chemistry; the no less important mo
tions that display the beauty Of these
colors to the best advantage are mat
ter OF mechanics. The man who is q
first class pyrotechnist is versed in both
sciences.
The ordinary pinwheel is a simple ex
ample of rotating fireworks. 1t is 9
long case packed with a fire compost
ton and wound round disk Of wood
The outer end OF the spiral is primet
with an explosive material. When Il
is LIGHTED It kicks" lust as a gun doe.

Council viii ask the Legislature for
power to borrow 100000 for the pur-
pose of making improvements. It is in
tended to use 100000 in the construction
of a municipal electric lighting plant
s200,000 for new City Hall and 100000
for the betterment of the streets.
There is some opposition TO the crea-
tion of the new loan and the matter
will be threshed out in its entirety when
the bill shall be presented 10 the Gem
erai Assembly. The proposition TO
erect a new City Hall on the site OF the
present building win be opposed, as the
structure Is one OF the land
marks OF the city and represents a fine
style of-arcnitecture of hundred years
ago. Should the City Hall be restored
TO its original Colonial appearance by
the removal of the tower and the other
unsightly appointments, T. would be
greatly beautified.
