Der of applicants for places

great and distinguished body OF Demo-
Gratis Of Washington and the United

tables representative Democrats. true to
the traditions and standards of the party,
and give their national leader a recep-
ton which he viii long remember. though
he has been around the world and has
met at similar functions elsewhere great
and loyal gatherings Of his friends.
One object Of the committee has been
TO make the gathering Democratic in
the truest sense of the term. To this
end the cost of the dinner was placed
at nominal figure, and the number
Of tickets limited only by the capacity
OF the banquet hall Of the hotel where
II will be held.
Mr.. Abbot stated that il would be
an ingathering OF the original Bryan men
OF Washington, as well as more recent
followers of his standard It is expected
that the banquet will be one of the
most interesting and significant political
gatherings held at the Capital in recent
years.

of the church by an archbishop blessing

that Archbishop Ryan hesitated to do this.

Ancient Legends Of tho Sacred River
of the Rindoos.
From an icy cavern at the foot of a

feet above the level of the sea issues
q small stream which becomes the
mighty Ganges. flowing for 1900 miles
through India to the bay Of Bengal.
and Of whose course every foot is holy
ground.
With Mother Ganga, as the pious
Hindoos reverently call her. no river
on earth can compare in sanctity.
The old poem tells us that the heav.
emily Ganges flowed from the toe OF
Vishnu and was brought down from
heaven by the prayers Of the saint
Bhagiratha to purify the ashes OF the
$4,000 sons Of King Sagara, who had
been burnt by the angry Chances of the
sage Kapila
Ganga was angry at being brought
down from heaven. and to save the
earth from her impetuous rush silva
caught the river on his brow and with
his matted locks checked its course
The legends go on to tell how the de
scent of the Ganges disturbed the So e
Jahnu in the performance Of his reli
gious duties. whcreupon in his rage ht
drank up the river. but subsequently
relented and permitted it to flow from
his ear.-Pearson's Weekly.

One Scientific Theory of How Our

A scientific forecast of how the end
of the world might come has been
given by Professor Ellard Gore. His
theory is that final cataclysm may pos
sibly be the result of a collision be-
tween the sun and some dark. dead.
derelict planet.
Although astronomers have no ao-
tual proof that such dead suns exist.
without life or light and careering
about in space. they believe 1t quite
possible. The result Of collision be-
tween the sun and a dark planet
would be that the formers light and
heat would be enormously increa sed
and the earth instantly destroyed by
combustion.
Professor Gore tells how we should
be warned Of our approaching doom.
When about 100000 miles from
the sun. the dark body would begin to
shine by reflected light In about ten
years it would have become so bright
as TO be visible TO the naked eye. In
fifteen years it would be brighter than
any object except the moon. Very soon
afterward would come the gTiat catas-
trophe of its collision. moving at 400
miles d second. with the sun moving
al the same speed."-Dundee Observer.
