sumes responsibility for the hospital
charges. If the patient is unknown

by the lay members of the board, and

ABOUT THE COMET
French Scientists Say the Tail Is
Charged with Poisonous Gas

Paris. May 13.-Maurice Hamy of
the Paris Observatory reports that the
length of the tail of Halley's comet has
increased from five TO ten degrees in
three days.
Prof. DeslanderS Of the University Of
Dion finds a temperance in the
Spectroscope of cyanogen, the poison
Gus gas which was observed in jan
uary and February, but which disap-
peared in March. He says that the
hypothesis that the gas il liable TO af-
feet the terrestrial atmosphere would
not be a { all absurd
on the other hand Camille Flan-
marion thinks that the tail of the
comet is simply an optical phenOme-
non produced by the flight through
ether. similar to the wake of a ship at
sea
VI. Marchand maintains that the
comet shows important variations
from its predicted orbit. which pre-
sages unexpected surprises.

Twelve students of the Huntington
High School obtained two boats and
started for a row about the dam. The
dam is nearly half mile in width
and when the two craft reached the
center of the body of water IL was no.
ticed that one Of them had sprung a
leak.
The two boats were then pulled to-
gether by the young men in the party
and an effort was being made to trans
fer the girls from the leaky boat TO
the safe craft. The last one of the
party had scarcely set foot in the boat
when il began TO sink owing To the
combined weight of the party.
The girls Were helpless TO save
| themselves. and the boys of the party.
with the exception of Dodson. being
expert swimmers. struck out for the
shore, which all reached in safety.
Ninnich, in the excitement, il is pre-
sumed. thought that all the young wo-
men had succeeded in reaching land.
He had no sooner gained the bank than
he noticed the girls hanging 10 the
rapidly sinking boat. The boy dashed
into the water and SWAN swiftly 10
the water-filled craft. Only two of the
! girls We're clinging TO the boat, the
others having gone down for the last
time. Selling Miss Davenport, Min
mich again started for the shore. but
the exertion was too much for the gal
| liant lad and the two went down to-
gether when they We're within a
lStone's throw Of the bank.

Reports About Andree.

If there IS any truth in the story that
Is sent from Saskatchewan, AndEee, the
intrepid balloon polar explorer, probably
met MS death al the hands of natives
after he had crossed the arctic ice and
had reached point from which his re-
turn 10 civilization would have been COM
paratively easy. 1t is to be hoped that
the mystery of Andree's fate will be
cleared. He started July IL, 1897, from
Danes Island, off the coast of Spitzber-
gen, In a large balloon with two COM
panions. hoping TO catch northerly
wind carrying him over the polar region
where he thought it might be possible
to effect landing and make the neces-
sary observations to determine the char
acter of the polar area, and then to re-
ascend and drift back to some inhabited
region. Two days after his departure
message was received by carrier pigeon
stating that the balloon was in latitude
81 and longitude 15.5. That was the
last word from the balloonist. Search
was made throughout the arctic regions
from time TO time for traces of the party
nut nothing authentic was ever heard
from Andree. Occasionally .rumor
dr1fted down over the ice that the bal
IOoniStS had been seen and that wreck
age had been found in the hands Of ma
tives, but these reports came from points
so widely scattered that no credence
could be placed in any of them. The
present account from Saskatchewan is
more circumstantiai than any that has
preceded, priest bearing the word that
natives had told of the descent Of a
great balloon with three white men, who
died soon after their arrival from hunger,
statement which it is suspected covers
possible crime. Fragments of balloon
material such as ropes have been found
In the hands of natives throughout the
region Of Reindeer lake, near the Hudson
bay. and the belief is strong that they
came from the Andree equipment If
Andree did in fact drift to the point in
dictated his fate was indeed tragic.
Whether he had passed over the polar
point or not he had in this event trav-
eled an immense distance probably the
greatest ever traversed by a balloon, and
vas within almost calling distance of
rescue.

School Days..
From the. Baltimore American.

Yesterday the Juveniles got back to the
school grind with all too brief a Christ
mas holiday. The routine OF school work
will now go on with the jotting Of the
days as they pass by the little folks. An
early Easter gives promise of several
days more Of abandonment Of books. and
before that comes Washington's birthday
as an oasis in the desert Of learning.
The little folks are fine at keeping tab on
holidays, and one of their chief practices
in calculation is that of counting the days
Of toll between the. times when school
days are for while forgotten. 1t will
not be- g. great while before the summer
vacation. when they will have a long re-
lief Not only the schools, but the col
leges are in harness again. or, to speak
with more accurate figure, the machin-
cry of college life is again humming.
Not in all cases, however, as many of
the colleges give their students until
next Monday. With these institutions
the entrance upon the new year means
really getting down to the chief work
Of the year.

boys in line for service at the polls on
election day.
The opposition to Mr.. Corners is not
exclusively from sources that would
seem to have the right of criticism. One
may, in a way, sympathize with those
democrats who recall higher-grade men
in the Office of chairman OF the state
committee, and are themselves men OF
education and finish. But what Is the
matter with Charles F. Murphy and his
Tammany lieutenants? What complaint
have they against Mr.. Corners except,
maybe, that ne refuses to ne leo Dy
them? If he were displaced and one OF
their own number and kind put In. what
advance would be made toward hlgher
order of things? Swapping the oe'il, Ior
a witch is never a gain where something
good is desired.
Mr.. Taggart. it seems. is too close TO
the brewers. The temperance element OF
the Indiana democracy objects. There ara
democrats in the state who oppose the
saloons, and do not relish the charge
SO repeatedly made that the party Is
dominated by the brewing and whisky
interests. Hence the demand Tor q
leadership which shall draw its In
spiration and assistance from more
reputable quarters.
But it is strange to hear that these
men are turning from Mr.. Taggart 10
Gov. Marshall. If the brewers and as
tillers were influential in the state
last year, who enjoyed more OF the
usufruct than Gov. Marshall? Is ne
not in office by virtue Of what was
then done? The brewers and d1stillers
did not work against Mr.. Tart, ana
he was elected. They did work against
the republican candidate for governor,
and he was defeated. Shall Gov. Mar
shall now turn his back on those who
made him? Shall he for the mere sug-
gestion of the presidential nomination
undertake to destroy the bridge that SO
far has carried him over?
Mr.. Corners is undismayed. and M.
Taggart may be. Revolts do not al
ways succeed. The trouble with the
democrats in both New York and In
diana is far deeper than the PERSONAL
ties Of the two men who for several
years past have managed the party'3
local affairs. mere change of man
ayers would accomplish nothing of
practical value, however comfortable
it might make some men feel on per-
sonal scores.

The Mississippi Senatorship.

The senatorial contest In MISSISSIPPI is
no testing matter, but a jest has come
out of Jackson on the subject. This is
that Roosevelt democrats and the repub-
licans have joined hands to defeat for
mer Gov. Vardaman.
Who are the Roosevelt democrats of
that state? What is their number, and
who leads them? When did they mani
fest themselves? And why are they tag
ged with Mr.. Roosevelt's name? Are
they of the order of the Taft democrats
of Virginia? The latter we're very nu-
merous and influential last summer and
fall. The newspapers and the woods
were full of them. But somehow they
all evaporated before election day. Judge
Mann had no difficulty in rolling up the
usual democratic majority. Mr.. Taft
gave his Endorsement to the republican
candidate. and a member of the cabinet
visited the state and spoke for him. bu,
the effect was not observable at the
polls.
And the republicans of Mississippi? Are
there any? Is there a single republican
member of the legislature? AS rule.
that body is solidly democratic. H.
therefore, the republicans have not the
strength to secure representation IN the
legislature. what can their influence be
on democratic members in SO important
a party matter as the election of a
United States senator?
The report reads like an appeal for
Mr.. Vardaman-a call to rock-ribbed
democrats to bestir themselves In behalf
of a man who has incurred the hostility
of an opposition described as hybrid And
there is no risk in the prediction that
if the opposition is Of no more weight
than that described, Mr.. Vardaman will
be the senator. The former governor has
certain popularity at home, as was
shown in his election to the governorship
and in his race against Mr.. Williams for
the Senate. But his opponents have al
ways been men of the regular party
creed, and active in party affairs.
There are a number of candidates for
the McLaurin seat, but the name of
former Representative Catchings is not
among them. Is he not still In the land
OF the living and resident of Vicks-
burg? His service in the House Was
valuable to his people, and, indeed, to all
the people of the Mississippi river valley.
AS chairman for a time of the rivers
and harbors committee he secured large
appropriations for southern aterways,
and was otherwise useful to his section.
Why not elect Mr.. Catchings? Or is he
barred by the fact that in the party. row
which took place and ragged between
1856 he sided with the Cleveland fac
ton?
Just now the rivers and harbors issue
ia most impOrtant and Mr., CatchingS in
the Senate would take hold of it like an
old hand at the bellows. Williams and
Catchings would make a strong team.
