AURORA BOREALIS.
Buffalo Gets Clear View OF Phenom-
enOB Of the North.

From Che Buffalo Times.
Shooting UP from behind bank OF
black clouds on the northern horizon.
the aurora borealis ilumined the entire
northern heavens for several hours with
an unusual brilliance. The phenomenon
appeared first about : O'Clock. and the
spectrum Of the rays. carrying all the
colors Of the rainbow. did not fade until
II o'clock. Just after dark a raw OF light
shot toward the zenith OF the sky. then
other rays appeared, and a little later
the brilliant sight was perfected with
concenuic arcs Of color. Then the entire
northern sky was lighted with an un-
canny glow. which was particularly bright
IN the northeast
Greenish stems Of light flashed from
the most northern points Of the horizon
10 the very top OF the heavens. then these
were succeeded by shafts Of a peculiar
BLUSH tint, followed by flashes OF white.
indistinct. clOudike forms. An hour after
the spectrum faded IL suddenly reap-
peared, and a moment later as instantly
was exunguished
Until after midnight wavering beams
Of light flashed in the sky. while puffs OF
smoky white appeared here and there ike
flashes OF heat lightning When the cleo
rical display was at the height OF its
beauty a score OF thin shafts pointed
straight from the north into the sky Ike
the ribs OF fan. Thousands or persons
were attracted by the phenomenon and
watched the play Of the lights during the
evening. Little or no trouble was eN-
perienced by the telegraph companies. as
sometimes happens during an exhibition
OF the northern lights.

Creole Jealousy?
Says tho New orleans States.

Says the New Orleans States:
If President Taft is wise. he WILL on his visit
TO Savannah. shun the famous Chatham Artillery
punch"
Not since the original pot and kettle
INDUCED in their historic and Justly
famous controversy has anything of like
nature quite equaled this. We judge such
gratuitous advice to be the outcome Of
unworthy spite. coupled with thoroughly
reprehensible jealousy. Without knowing
positively. however. what it could have
been that moved the States TO such I'M
| fraternal comment. we. nevertheless,
marvel at the very impertinence Of the
thing.
The convivial possibilities latent in a
bumper Of Chatham Artillery punch are
unquestiOnably many. so sadder but wiser
citizens have testified on numerous occa-
sions not necessary herein to mention.
One man's-size draught has been known
to start people on a money-lending tour
startling in its various climaxes. Under
its benign influence. the darkest clouds
are alleged 10 become solid silver while
you walt, and the most inharmonious dis
cords Of music have been reduced through
the potency OF its magic 20 symphonies
of rare beauty and unaIloyed delight.
Perhaps, TO be sure, in all Of that there
dwells no compelling reason why the
President should not shun this puissant
punch; but II does not lie in the mouth OF
New Orleans to call attention to it. With
ali its faults, or its virtues. as the case
may be. Savannah philosophy never con-
ceived anything more subtIy deceitfuI or
characterized by more ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain than New
Orleans browning glory Of liquid per-
suasion. the sazarac cocktail, Would one
IN New Orleans paint the rainbow
Armed with brush and pallet. one saIies
forth braced up with sazaracs. and then
declines the job for fear il would not be
right to take the money. That is. "tbev
say" it is so; and who are we TO doubt
II?
Wherefore these cutting remarks from
New Orleans anent its sister city are adj
judged out Of order and highly improper.
II the States were in real ignorance Of
the true characteristics Of the aforesaid
Chatham ARTILLERY punch, there might
be some excuse for II. In the circum-
stances however, its animadversIons are
In bad taste. 10 say the least OF il. and
1t deserves TO be called down.

The latest development Of interest from

No man who in the pursuit OF his daily
task takes tips is acceptable: so all por
tiers, cabmen, and BARRIERS are added {,
the already long list Of men not suitable
for passing on important cases. The
original list was as follows:
Actors, because they have no fixed abode
Labcrers and foreign tsilor. because. as rule

Goilermakcrs h,causc of defective hearing.
ssloonkesrs and hartenders because Of their occl

reasons.
Jury Commissioner Amberg, who tes-
titled in an investigation into alleged ir-
Irregularities. gave his reasons for barring
certain professions and occupations. and
the judges promptly agreed with him.
This step is worth consideration by other
courts throughout the country. and there
would be less cause for criticism if the
jury system were put on a higher plane
than at present.

PASSING OF THE BROOKLYN.
Effective WHrship Of 1895 on Way
10 the Junk Heap.

A trihe over eleven years ago the
cruiser Brooklyn. as the flagship OF Ad-
miral Schley. IN the battle OF Santiago
led the van in the pursuit Of the fying
feet Of Admiral Cervera. and II was
shots from her guns which did the great
est damage % the Spanish navy. Eleven
years ago the Brooklyn was the pride OF
the American navy, and an up-to-date
model OF her type Of battle ship. To-
day she is lying partially dismantled and
viii probably never see active service
again. Her hull is perfectly sound. her
engines in perfect condition. and IN every
way the vessel is as good as she was
when she showed her power IN Cuban
waters.
The Navy Department has ruled. how
ever that she is out Of date, and she Will
be allowed TO go into decay. while a more
modern and more expensive vessel will
take her place I'm the line OF the Atlantic
squadron Of the United States navy.

historic interest that attaches 20 the

Election Results Briefly Considered.

1t is but seldom that on-year local cleo
tons produce significant results. and
when they do. usually the significance
wanes quickly Nothing Of national mo-
ment comes out OF yesterdays contests.
Considered specifically as they must be
in incomplete form. the returns seem TO
indicate. If they Indicate anything. less
radical tendency than formerly. Notably
so is this the case i'm New York City.
where Mr. Hearst all but won the mayor
atty three years ago and now runs third:
in Cleveland. where Tom Johnson's star
declines, and in san Francisco. where
Heney. limeIisht reformer OF country
wide renown, meets crushing defeat.
Tammany's hold upon New York city
is sull secure-almost as secure as is the
Republican machines grip upon the
Quaker City. Gaynor. as mayor. may be
shorn Of a certain degree Of power by
fusion success coincident with his tri-
umph bat the Tiger will rule Gotham
just the same.
Virginia IS Democratic, Of course. Some
day conditions may be ripe for a change
there. but that time is not yet
Maryland rejects the amendment to dis
franchise the negro. Purity Of the ballot
and an enlightened ballot are to be de-
sired above all things in civic analrs-an
good Americans agree as to this. but bad
conditions are not to be corrected by the
substitution Of equally bad conditions.
Maryland. in reaching a verdict on this
amendment reaches a righteous verdict
undoubtedly. and will be the better able

As a whole, there IS nothing surprising.

ment or significance in any OF the results.
They have gone largely the same old way

The Drawing Room Versus the Bertb

There is evidently no requirement OF
law which may not De literally construed
in the matter Of relmburslng representa-
tives OF the government for their ev-
| penditures for travel on official business
An interesting case has recently come
before the Comptroller OF the Treasury.
by reference from the Office OF the Auditor
for the War Department. in the matter
Of the distinguished citizens who serve
gratuitously on the board OF managers
for the National Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers. There are. In reality.
several Of these homes Incorporated under
that tile and Intrusted 10 the general
supervision Of a board made up OF men
Of prominence. who periodically are re-
quired, by virtue Of their connection with
the institution. 20 make trips from place
70 place where the homes are located
The Auditor considered that. IN passing
on the accounts Of the travelling expenses
of the members Of the board OF man
ayers. he must limit the cost OF Pullman
service to the usual berth I'm the sleeping
car or seat in a parlor car. The treas
urer Of the institution. however. has been
in the habit Of providing drawing rooms
for his associates. The action Of the
Auditor in disalowing this expense. Of
course. confronted the managers with the
prospect Of returning TO the government
the money which had been "unIawfulIy"
expended in their behalf.
The Comptroller OF the Treasury. comes
manfully to the rescue. and he puts a
construction on the statutes which is en-
tirely reasonable and in accord with the
dignity OF the duty and the character Of
the membership Of the Soldiers Home
board. He takes the view that the draw
ing room IS all right and IS iustihable
luxury, considering "the high character
and position in life. both official and
private. OF the members OF the board OF
managers and Of their ages. and because
OF the fact that they serve as such mem
bers without compensation" IN view OF
this consideration, # is surprising to find
that the Auditor did not take an equally
liberal view, without the necessity of
reversal on the part Of the Comptroller.
The gentlemen who serve on the board Of
managers leave their occupations and their
homes with no other reward than having
their expenses paid, and they are entitled
20 all the comforts which are afforded
by modern transportation. It Is agree
able 10 note the reasonable attitude taken
by the Compuoler's Office in a question
which, we repeat does not need to have
been a question at all

the acquisition and appreciation by the

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
A FALL SAMPLE.

The last dry leaf comes sitting down
To join the rest
The giant tree stands bare and brown
on hilly crest.
An endless stretch Of leaden sky
Is bending low.
And silently comes tapping by
A lonely crow.
These far pastels are just the stuff,
However trite.
The magazines can't get enough.
SO poets write
OF forests silent as the grave.
or fields OF snow,
With no life in the picture save
A lonely crow.

A Western Deer l7nrm

There are ostrich farms and buffalo
preserves. but the only deer farm run for
profit is in Iowa. The owner is John W.
Griggs. a pioneer hunter and trapper. He
has herd Of 100. He began by rearing
wolves. then Wild geese. then antelope
then elk, and now deer He began fifteen
years ago with a pair Of Virginia deer
and has experimental with white tails
black tails, and other hyb-ids. but the
climate Of Iowa has evolved a type of the
Northern deer as the breed hardy enough
FOR all purposes. The deer corral. which
includes a large piece OF woodland is
surrounded by an eight-foot woven wire
fence, doubly strengthened as 70 posts.
The natural food of deer is the green bits
OF the forest, but they can be taught to
Ike corn, while alfalfa and clover are
delicacies that appeal TO their appetites.
Griggs markets yearly ell the deer he
cares TO sell. For park purposes he gets
from SIS 70 $50 each. while for venison
he secures as much from a carcass. the
antlers bringing in an average Of IS each.
About the only losses come from injuries
inflicted when a deer is frightened and
from conflicts OF angry bucks.

DahIIas Come from potatoes.

From the Dundee Advertiser
BY a curious horticultural irony. the
dahlia. which IS the popular idol OF all

dreadfully prosaic parentage. It has been
