CHANDLER ABANDONED

Since DIR. Joseph H Chandler has given

ticket until the polls close, eighty five
candidates who were on the DR.. Chandler
ticket resigned Thursday rather than TO
continue to aid in DR.. Chandler's party
wrecking scheme and assist tile Demo-
Gratis.
At the same time it was learned that
benjamin A. Groves, the Union Repnb-
iican nominee for clerk Of the peace, had
rendered his resignation, thus leaving
clear field for Winfield 8. Quigley, the
Republican nominee. Mr.. Groves We'd
nesday afternoon admitted that he had
resigned. II did go in the interests OF
harmony and Of party success he said.
II is understood that Mr.. Groves may
make formal statement about his resig-
nation.
DR.. Chandler and five candidates fol
inspector of elections are now the only
men remaining on the Regular Republi
can party ticket. All the other candl
dates for state and county Offices, and
even the Republican Presidential electors
withdrew from the Chandler ticket, leav
ing DR.. Chandler in solitary sway.
This action has been contemplated b,
the various men nominated at the Re
publican primary and were filed on th'
Chandler ticket ever since it was made
up. For week Republicans under thu
direction of Sylvester d. Townsend, Jr.

to get the designations Of the various
candidates on the ticket. 1t was biz
undertaking, but Mr.. Townsend, assisted
by Joseph G. Jolls, secretary OF the count!
committee and a few others had it ad
mirably planned, and all the resignation
were obtained without trouble.

THE DEMOCRATIC METHOD

The Democratic press is doing

publican factions apart. This is
to be expected, but we think that
our readers do not understand

In order to do so, let US examine
the Democratic situation. That
party has a state ticket named
in a convention controlled by
Kenney and the rum interests.
While the candidate for Cover

he is Kenney's father-in-law, and
as a former Governor of Della
ware once remarked "He that
looketh not after his own house

was made up in good bit the
same sort Of a way. The candi-
date for Clerk Of the Peace is the
same man in whose interests the
attempt was made in 1896 to
overcome a Republican majority
of 250O by manipulation Of the
Board of Canvas. In 1900 he
was again a candidate and run
several hundred votes behind his
ticket. For Levy Court Com
missioners, the nominees are not
above reproach. At least one Of
them causes EUery EUening 70 gag

While the Republicans have

SHAPE OF SUN CHANGING.
A Jekyll and Hyde Tendency Has
Been Revealed by Recent
Observation.

Prof. Frank H. Bigelow, a weather
observer for the bureau of meteorology,
has recently been making study of the
atmosphere, and presents a mass of
data and observations showing that 'the
sun should be regarded as an incipient
binary star" Recent scientific work
in investigating the circulation of the
solar atmosphere in accordance with the
laws governing the connective and radia-
tive action Of large mass of matter con-
tracing by its own gravitation have
led Prof. Bigelow to this hypothesis, that
"the single fiery envelope conceals two
discs" says a Washington report.
A series of observations extending
over many years on the period of solar
rotation at various points on the sur
face shows that the same meridian of
the sun is seen twice in a single rota-
tion of the entire mass; first as the east
ern limb, and second, 13 days later as the
western limb. Whatever may be the in
trinsic activity of the sun at a given
zone and on a given meridian, that dis
play becomes visible twice. first to the
east and second to the west"
The tables prepared by Prof Bigelow
giving the rate of angular rotation of
various zones of the suns surface show
that 1t is far from uniform, being in
creased in proportion to the distance
from the equator. AS yet little has been
done regarding ''the fundamental prob
lem of the mode of the internal solar cir
culation." This difference of external
activity of the sun ION two opposite
sides of its mass as If certain diameter
had greater energy than the one at right
angles to it" is similar to a recent dis
covery of Prof. Bigelow in regard to the
earth's atmosphere and leads him to the
conclusion already stated, that this per-
sistent excess of outflowing energy on
two opposite sides of the sun suggests
the possibility that the sun should be
regarded as an incipient binary star
where the dumbell figure of rotation pre-
walls instead of the spheroidal II this
is really the case, and the evidence sug-
gests It, then there would be reason for
the existence of the two primary Gen.
ters of activity of the sun instead of its
having a single center
From this we should expect to find
that the sun has two magnetic and two
meteorological systems and indeed some
double-acting system appears to impress
itself generally upon the solar cosmical
relations. This view is quite in har-
mony with the well-known fact of the
existence of numerous binary systems
of suns more or less widely separated
and it cannot be regarded as unlikely
that the sun is developing in the same
way. The enormous mass of the sun
would seem to entice it's constituents
to group themselves preferably about
two centers for the physical processes
involved in circulation and radiation.
rather than about one, and suspect that
this is the correct explanation of sew
eral well-known phenomena"

Railway Cars on Skates.

A novel railway system described in
the Revue Technique has cars without
wheels, which are replaced with slip
pers or skates. The cars are raised
on a thin film of water, which is
forced under the skates through Jet.
A third rail is LAID between the two
gliding rails, and friction wheel,
driven by electric motors, runs on this
and furnishes the propelling force. The
advantages claimed for this system of
taraction are great reduction in the
track resistance and in the power re-
quired by a car, much smoother
running of the cars, and hence small
er depreciation both of track and car
There is no danger of derailment, and
high speeds can be attained.-America

M ISIS ELIZABETH MOORE had
lvI received two letters. Little Pat
Ryan, who lived next door, had
brought them. Miss Moore and Pat
were sworn friends, and usually he
would have liked nothing better than
to have accepted the hearty invitation
to come in and have some ginger cakes.
To-day, however, he shook his head anj
ran off rapidly. Miss Moore looked
after him in astonishment, but he was
out of hearing before she could call,
SO she shut the door and returned to
the cosy little sitting room.
A visitor was present, and she laid
the letters on the table unopened, won
dering vaguely who they were from.
The visitor, Mrs. Jonas Winterbot-
tom, was wondering also. In fact,
she was much disappointed when she
saw they were not to be opened. Con-
versation Jagged.
Don't let me hinder you from read
in your mail, Miss Moore" she said
at last, stiffly.
