NEW COMET FOUND
 NEAR POLAR STAR

London, October 3.-A bright, telescopic comet, with a fan-shaped tail, has just been discovered and will be an object of considerable interest during the next few weeks. It is situated in the northern sky and about 20 degrees from the Polar star the rough position for September being right ascension 40 degrees north, declnation 10 degrees. The comet is nov ing to northwest at the rate of one de- gree daily.
 Astronomers have not yet calculated the orbit of the comet, so that it is not known whether the object is really ap- preaching the earth or receding from us If this mysterious stranger is directing its flight toward us we may see it make fine display during the moonless nights of this month, when moonlight will not interfere with observations.
 During the ensuing month or two it will pass through the region lying between the Polar star and the cancellations Cassiopeia and Cepheus. Astronomers all the world over will heartily welcome the new visitor, as the present year has been somewhat barren as regards cometary discoveries.

Socialism and the Universities.

John Bates Clark in the October Atlantic
 In a noteworthy address delivered at Princeton university, President Cleve- land expressed the hope that our higher institutions of learning would range them selves like wall barring the progress of revolutionary doctrines. If one may judge by appearances this hope has not been realized. There may be smaller percentage of educated persons than or uneducated ones in the ranks of radical socialism. Those ranks are most readily recruited from the body of ill-paid work ing men, but there are enough highly ed- ucated persons in them to prove that so- cialism and the higher culture are not incompatible; and question that is well worth asking and possibly answering, is, What is likely to be the permanent at titude of a scientific mind toward the claims of thorough going socialism? Will it be generally conservative or will it be opposite? Will there be an alliance between intelligence and discontented labor--the kind of union that was once cynically called coalition of universi- ties and slumS?" If so it will make formidable party.

The Campaign Back Home.

From Success Magazine.
 You remember, though, that when the whole long line of torches got into Main street you wondered why it didn't make everything as bright as day They must have had a thicker kind Of darkness at night in those times 1t soaked up more lighti You wouldn't believe it-it was only when they got right close to you that you could see the tin cans of the torches wabbling in the crotches of the slaves. and the red and white and blue ojlcloth caps of the different companIes; and only when they were right in front of Richardson's could you recognize the boys you knew walking along with their pas, holding hands with them, or else clinging to their cape-corners. Other boys pas let them march; it was a funny thing you couldn't ever get to go Mud up to your knees-nothing, You'd look where you were going.
 But even if we could not march and go help our side win, we could cheer and wave our handkerchiefs and hope our side would win. 1t almost always u.d It could all the tlme but it got to be such a sure thing that sometimes the re- publicans would say, "Oh, l guess Tli stay home and clean out the furnace They don't need my vote, and tEat time the democrats would win.

 On MT. Bryan's recent visit to Indian apolis he was asked what he would do If again defeated for the presidency, and replied by telling a story of a Texan who wandered into a ballroom while intoxi- cated and was elected. He walked right fin again, and was roughly handled and thrust forth into outer darkness A third time he staggered in, and this time was unceremoniously kicked out. Gathering himself together. he remarked to the in terested spectators:

 This man walked around growing, as most New Workers do, finding fault with everything, and saying that he coulln't sec that heaven was much better than New York.

Much Ado About Nothing.

The question that has been agitated as to the inscription to pe cut, or rather that should, or should not be cut on the cornerstone of the new high school seems to have started discussion among few of the citizens that appears to be slightly uncalled for, at least such is the opinion of some of the citizens. In the first place they say that the stone is yet in the quarry and when the time comes for the laying of the stone, what should or should not be cut thereon, will be handled in the same considerate man. ner that the school board and city coun- cil handle all other matters that are of public interest.
 It may be that the stone will be left blank, at least for the time being, for there are matters pending that the board themselves would prefer having settled before acting but whatever Is done, it is believed will meet with the full approval

 Chinaman who had been robbed by a woman on the Bowery was trying to describe her at the police station

 For a moment John seemed puzzled. Then his face frightened.
 "TIe dead-she glad" he confidently announced.
 And now the police are looking for a woman with Merry Widow hat.

Tennessee, the republican stronghold, and the remainder of his time to middle and west Tennessee. Senator Bob Taylor has arrived at home and will today address the people at Johnson City. From there he will visit number of east Tennessee towns make a few speeches in other parts of the state and then probably go to Ohio pr Illinois. Senator Frazier made his first speech at Chattanooga and will cover the state in a flying trip and then go probably to New York. John Wesley Gaines has informed Governor Patterson that he is willing to come to Tennessee if he is needed, butsthinks that he should help Bryan in other states Every public man of ability in the state is in the bat tie this year and every cross road will hear an orator before the campaign closes.

In all probability the house will be strongly prohibitionist, but the Senate promises to be the other way, and with the veto power of the governor it is not likely that statutory prohibition will be dealt out to Tennessee at this session. There is much feeling in the matter however, and all influences are at work to their respective ends. Governor Pat terson is paying little attention to this standing on his first proposition that the people of each community should govern their own affairs and promising to sign any prohibition bill passed by the legis- lature if the people of the community affected have voted for the measure Otherwise, he says, he will veto such measure.
 Fortunately for the democratic party fin Tennessee such things as political ma chimes have been worked out of the party. Governor Patterson has his counselors, but works untiringly to kill out machines and let the people rule. This takes an other weapon from the republicans that in the past has been an effective club.
 Tennessee is safe for Bryan and safe for Patterson It Is difficult to find even a republican who expresses hope for the success of Judge Taft. All republican enthusiasm is gone and already prepara- tions are being made for the big jubilee on the night of Novemper 3.

Fearing nothing from the common enc my in Tennessee the democrats in this state are giving more attention just now to the national ticket than for the state. Although some 20 speeches will be made in each county for the state ticket the leaders feel that their help is needed in other states and they are contributing, sending speakers in wholesale lots. Gov ernor Patterson will confine his labors to Tennessee, but many others will go into the enemys country to make their contributions. Ex-Governor McMillin, ex- Governor John I. Cox, Senator Bob Fay Tor, Senator Frazier, General Washing
 ton, Reau E. Folk, Joseph W. Byrnes
 John Wesley Gaines and numbers of others have arranged to give ten days of this month to the Tennessee ticket and 20 days to the national committee. These speakers started out this week, firing into the crowds throughout the state, many of them making two and three speeches each day. Governor Patterson will make a tour of the state in special train in order to make time and will follow Bryans example in speaking from the platform. He will give 15 days to East

The Tennessee campaign committee needs no money to speak of and Tennes- see democrats are pouring their dollars into the national fund. Throughout the state the ladies have organized clubs which they choose to call the Bryan and Kern Dollar Democratic clubs,' and they are collecting neat sums of money. They will endeavor to get $1 from every democratic voter in their respective com munities Fully $90OO0 is looked for from these clubs and 1t will be sent to Her man Rdder.
 While intensely interested in the na- tional campaign, Tennessee people are also much interested in the personnel of the next legislature and are dividing at tention somewhat with that campaign. The democratic platform declares for To- cal option, allowing each community to vote on the question of open saloons, but there is strong statewide faction that will endeavor to send prohibition mem bers to the next legislature and thereby put through a statewide prohibition measure.

POLITICAL GOSSIP IN
 STATE OF TENNESSEE
BY c. c. WATSON.

Nashville, Tenn, October 3.-But for the injection of prohibition into the Ten nessee campaign the victory of democ- decided in the history of the party. Even as it is there is no uneasiness in the ranks or the democrats. So far as old time party issues are concerned the re- publicans are down and out" Even the national platform of the party con stains nothing over which the repubi- cans can enthuse, and a more sad faced lot have never faced the democrats of this state.
 Unfortunately, early in the year, when eX-Senator E. w. Carmack returned from Washington and became a candidate for governor the statewide prohibition question was injected into the campaign That question has caused trouble In ev- cry quarter, and while it was defeated by a splendid majority the advocates of the measure succeeded in lining up re- spectable following for it. The state convention settled the question so far as the democratic party is concerned, but on the heels of this convention at which much bitterness was shown, the republi- cans met and incorporated statewide pro- hibition into their platform. Although 1t was clear that this was done to catch the few democrats who had become welded to this measure, there can be no doubt but that some democrats will vote |, that ticket, forgetting every other prin- ciple of the party. On the other hand the republicans have troubles of their own that promise to counterbalance this. That party appears to be hopelessly split and two conventions were held, two plat forms adopted and two candidates for
 
 however, in a message from the dictator in Washington and Asbury Wright had to withdraw from the race. His withdrawal did not please the 'home rule faction, however, and many of the leaders openly state that they will vote the national republican ticket and state democratic ticket.

Dear Sir
Ten years ago I took with you my
first policy in the Mutual Benefit for
$4,000. The dividends were so much
greater than those Of other companies
in which l was carrying my insurance
that in 1902 1 took $4,000 more, and
in 1905 still another policy for $4,000.
In addition to these l have insured my
son in your company for 5000 and
when his brother reaches an insurable
age, l want him also to carry policy.
The estimates of dividends you gave
me when I took these various policies
have been more than exceeded in eV-
cry instance.
If there is a single dissatisfied Mu-
tual Benefit policy-holder in the state
of West Virginia, / have yet to hear
of it, On the contrary | hear the
opinion frequently expressed that it is
the best of all the Old Line compa-
MES. This Is my personal belief at
all events. Yours very truly,
