STANDING OF CLUBS.

More than thousand people,
probably half of them strangers, saw
manager Mack's team defeat the
Ashland -Catlettsburg here Sunday,
last. Double-header was played and
the local team won both games in
the worst batfest that has taken
place on the local diamond this
season. Mack 5 players made twen-
ty hits off the Ashland pitchers in
the two games and at no time di
the Ashlanders have any show to
win. Catcher Hunter had his finger
split in the fourth inning of the first
game, which seriously handicapped
the team. He will be out of the
game for possibly two weeks.
Daugherty is behind the bat until he
is able to get in the game again.
The team left for Ashland, Tuesday
morning, where they play three
games, returning here Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday for four games
with Parkersburg. Double-header
on Sunday to which there will be
excursion both by rail and river, and
u large crowd is expected. The
steamer Greenwood brought a large
crowd down. from the Pomeroy Bend
last Sunday, turning away great
many that wanted to come, on ac-
count of not having sufficient life
preservers aboard. We are close
around first place in the race, which
is close one and with any kind of
luck in the Parkersburr games should
be holding that coveted position
after the series.
The following is the games in de-
tail since our last report:

Nature of Comets.

And, first, what is comet? This
fundamental question is at present the
object of Sc many controversies that it
is worth the trouble of discussing.
Several theories have been put forth,
and it seems to me interesting to sum
Marie them for our readers, beginning
with that which W. H. Pickering recent
~ developed apropos of Halley's comet
According to this astronomer the
comet ; head consists of swarm of
meteors. the size of which varies from
fine impalpable dust to enormous
blocks weighing several hundred kilo-
grammes floating in a gaseous atmos-
phere.
As long as the comet wanders in the
depths Of space, very far from the
radiant focus, it remains invisible, like
a simple gathering of dark bodies, but
when it penetrates into the zone of the
sun 5 action it begins to be metamor-
phosed.

GEORGE MAKES
PROMISE TO
PEOPLE
First Official Statement of the
New King Makes Good
impression.
GRIEF OF QUEEN MOTHER
Kings Oath May Be Changed
to Avoid Ofense to Roman
Catholic Subjects.

LONDON, May 1.-THE King is
dead. Long live the KIM The transi.
ton from Edward VII to George V. as
King Of Great Britain and ireland and
Emperor Of India is now complete
King George Y. was formally proclaim
ed a successor to the throne at four
0 'clcck this afternoon. The ceremony
was impressive, occurring in the throne
room of St. James Palace, in the pres
ence of the privy council under the
presidency of the Earl of Crewe.
The mourning features were for the
time being set aside and King George
appeared in the uniform of an admiral,
while the distinguished gathering of
privy councillors and officers of the
court were in Ievee dress and wore the
regalia and decorations of their high
orders.
The proclamation of kingship was a
sOnorous document comforting upon the
new sovereign all the attributes of a
ruler which his father had possessed.
The response of King George was mark
ed by deep emotion as he solemnly af.
frmed his purpose to fulfill to the best
of his ability the great trust reposed
IN him

Pledge of the New King.

The first official utterance of the new
King was marked by feeling eloquence
and made a deep impression.
My lords and gentlemen. said the
to address you in more than few
words. 1t is my sorrOwful duty to an
nounce to you the death of my dearly
beloved father, the King. In this irrep-
arabic loss which has so suddenly fall
en- on nc and the whole empire | am
comforted by the feeling that | have
the sympathy of my future subjects,
who viii mourn with me for their be
loved sovereign, whose own happiness
was found in sharing and promoting
theirs. | have loss not only father s
love, but the atfectlonate and intimate
relations Of a dear friend and adviser.
ono less confident am 1 in the uni
versal and loving sympathy which is
assured to my dearest mother in her
overwhelming grief. Standing here lit
tie more than nine years ago, our be
loved King declared that so long as
there was breath in his body he would
work for the good and ameiioration of
his SUBJECTS. | am sure that the opinion
of the whole nation VIII be that this
declaration has been fully carried out.
10 endeaVOr to follow in his foot
steps, and at the same time to uphold
the constitutional government Of these
realms, Will be the earnest object Of
my life. | am deeply sensible of the
very heavy responsibilities which have
fallen upon me- | know that | can
rely upon the parliament and the PEG
pie of these islands and nv dominions
beyond the seas for their help in the
discharge Of these arduous duties and
their prayers that God will grant me
strength and guidance. | am encour-
aged by the knowledge that | have in
my dear wife one who Will be a con
slant helPmate in every endeavor for
our people s good.
The oath was administered to the
King by the Lord Chancellor. Fol
lowing custom, the members of the
cabinet who were present rendered
thir formal resignation to the new
ruler. who AT once returned the resig-
nations Enacted upon. Thereupon. the
members OF the cabinet and the privv
councillors kissed the Kings hand, ac-
cordIng to the traditional customs. to
signify allegiance TO the new ruler.
King George drove in simple fashion
back 10 Marlborough House, without
the military escort and pomp which ha,
characterized roVaI functions Of late
years.

The Ions.

The sun radiates energy under null
tiple forms-light. heat and electricity.
1t projects all around to enormous dis
stances those nothings. so important in
modern theories, which we call lions, -
and which IN the form of catholic rays
are precipitated with the dizzy speed of
more than 10000 kilometres a second
toward the islands and islets which
compose the solar archipelago; that is
to say, toward the planets and their
satellites and toward the comets.
When these radiations strike a comet
they provoke in the midst of the very
rarefed gases in its head continuous
electric discharges. 1t is through this
phenomenon that the cometary atmOs-
phere and the meteors that it envelops
become luminous. Besides, these cor
puscles attach themselves TO the case
Gus molecules of the nucleus, electrifv
them negatively and repel them in a
direction opposite to the sun, which is
also negatively electrified. These vapOrs
are thus repealed to a greater or less
distance from the head and form a
more or less extended tail

EARTH HAS A
TAIL LIKE COMET
It IS Not So Big, However,
Mons. Flammarion Refers
to Aurora Borealis.

Haley 5 comet, which has been tiaunt-
ing IS tail across the SKY these early
mornings, has been gettingg all the
press notices. But it is not SO much.
So far as tails go it has nothing on this
earth of our because we have tail
Of our own. Only, as the Astronomer
Flammarion points out, we are more
modest about our panache. This Is
what Mons. Flammarion writes for the
New York Herald:
Although the martyrology of the
comet" has been now increased by
some ignorant victims, faithful TO the
ancient superstitions and thinking. as
in the time of the illustrious surgeon
Ambrose Pare that

parOlr,
it is evident that superStitions are Civ
ing way more and more to a curiosity
to know the real physical nature of
these flaming stars with magnificent
hairy appendages and that these re
searches are constantly interesting the
civilized world more and more. If
comets have, III the eyes of humanity,
their real place in the popula-
ton of the heavens, they nevertheless
remain, from several points of view,
by a certain mystery which
moreover. only succeeds in adding some
of the charm Of the unknown to the

The Cometary Appendix.

To sun up, it may be said that, ac
cording to this theory, the tail of a
comet is nothing else than gaseous
current, driven from the head by the
repellent force emanating from the sun,
each particle of which carries with it
charge of negative electricity. A
certain quantity of impalpable dust
probably accompanies the vaporous
trail, but this meteoric dust scatters
and does not extend to the extremity
Of the caudal appendage. After that
which precedes one may ask why the
earth does not itself have tail, like
the comet for it IS also enveloped in
gaseous atmosphere, and must be a
target for the invisible proiectiles of
the sun, for the electrons, the ions, the
Cathode RAYS.

MAD MOE MAKES MISCHIEF.
Objecting to ''Pay-as-You-Enter"
System, Wreck Cars.

At Toronto, Kan, serious rioting
occurred Wednesday night, following
mass meeting called to pr2teSt
-ainst tie intro .uction OF 'pay-as-
you-enter cars by the Toronto Street
Railway Company.
The system was installed on the
principal car lines cf the city TWO
weeks ago. It caused general d:s-
satisfaction because, it was cIa!med,
the company failed to provile proper
cars. A mass meeting was called for
at Massey Hall. The call was IS
sued by the board of control, through
Mayo. Geary, and was. intended
mercy to ;;oice lawful protest
against the tinnovati ton. Many fiery
speeches were made and upon leaving
the building the audience became a
mob.
They attacked tie street cars,
dragged of the conductors anj met
ormen and then proceeded to wreck
TIE cars. The police reserves were
unable to control the situation,
which grew more serious every min
ute. Mayor Geary personally ap-
pealed to the mob. but his advice was
ignored and ct II o'clock the work
OF destruction was still going on.
Twelve cars were completely
wrecked and the windows In one
hundred others were smashed. Eigh-
teen persons were injured. The
worst cf the rioting appeared to be
over at midnight.
