Shootinu Stars.

When a shooting star breaks into
fame in our atmosphere the residuum
Of the combustion remains in the air
and can be found in what is known as
atmospheric dust. The virgin snow of
the polar regions was often seen to be
spotted with traces Of dust which con-
tanned particles Of iron. Like particles
are found on church towers and else
where. Among the minute bodies that
dance in the suns rays there are GER
ta1nly particles Of shooting stars.

FURTHER ARRESTS LIKELY
Others Implicated in Gigantic Alberti
Frauds.

Frauds.
Copenhagen, Sept. 18.-Further de-
velopments in the Alberti frauds are
expected to come to light any day and
it is believed that through them other
prominent persons will be implicated.
The police are keeping these persons
under surveillance. 1t is believed that
M. Alberti who formerly was Danish
minister of justice, soon will make
another confession justifying the ar.
rest of the persons now under sus-
picion. =. .-s~ s&. -
1t is presumed also that Alberti had
accomplices in London since the hand
writing of the falsifed accounts Of his
butter business has strong English
characteristics. It is believed here
that Alberti has fortune slowed

Gus English banks. =

whole people.
ION this day when we meet In memo
ry of Jackson it is entirely fitting thai
We should consider this the fundamen
tai and far-ieaching question namely,
from which stanpoint shall va look at
society7
1.-THE aristocrat regards society as an
organization suspended from the top;
the democrat considers society rs a
structure built from the bottom.
"The Republican leaders, DO not
mean the comparatively few refoIm
Republicans, but hose who dominate
the party's policy In the House and in
t he Senate-these look at society from
the aristocratic standpoint. and there
fore cannot understand the real needs
of the country.
"The questions which involve dis
cussion Of the relative spheres OF the
nation and the State bring out this
difference in the point Of view. The
aristocrat wants to get the government
as far way from the people as possible;
the democrat desires to bring the Gov
eminent as near to the people as posi-
BILE.
"And so whatever question We take
up we flnd that everything depends up
on the point OF view from which we ex'
emine the question, and there lie no bet
ter illustration OF this than is to be
found in the money stringency through
which we are passing. The Republican
LEADERS at once rush to the rescue OF
the banks after those banks have
brought the stringency upon the count
~ by their unbusiness-like methods.
III the Republican leaders had spent
half as much time in trying to make de-
positors secure as they have spent in
trying to increase the profits OF the
bankers, we would not have had any
panic at ALL
