Observe the Comet.

The speed of aviators is just now a matter of considerable comment and it is question If we may not expect the passenger carrying aeroplane or the future, under favorable conditions, to equal in speed the average railway train or even the lightning express" But, all the same, the best that rail- way trains and aeropIanes can do, or be expected to do, cannot rival the speed of some of the numerous com cts now rowing at large through space and displaying a friskinesS that is phenomenal if not otherwise peculiar. A despatch from Providence, R. l.. where they seem to be taking note Of one bright particular instance in the outfit of comets. says that
 'HThe new comet which has been visible in the western heavens since last week Is making a speed of more than 120 miles a second, according to calculations made today by Prof. Win slow Upton of Brown university. Pro- lessor Upton declared that the comet was speeding away from the earth and sun and that by the last of the month, when it will no longer be visible, 1t will be about 160,000.000 miles distant" :"
 Now, think of it. Going at the rate of 120 miles a second or 7.200 miles a. minute, or 432,00o miles an hour. it will still take this celestial suddenness about a week to get out of sight An comet, which has been decided a new one and one never before known in these precincts, says:
 Tt is new comet which is now visible in the western sky little be- fore and for short time after sunset and serves we'll to pass the time while we are anticipating the return of Hal ley's, the most famous of recorded comets. It is called Aof 1e1O,' or at Kiel Alpha 1s1o.' Venus is very con- spicuous as evening star, and the comet, though not so bright as Venus. is not dim. and its place at present is about half way between the planet and the sun, in a nearly straight line be- tween the two. Brighter than most of the stars 1t is seen before they come out. These directions to the observer will hold good for only a little while. for the astronomers agree that it is receding rapidly from the sun and while now so distinct. they do not know where the comet will be in a few days. ys."-Bridgeport Standard.

and spiders He used to say it vas good thing that spiders caught flies n
ate them, but he should like to SCI the flies catch and eat the spiders also
The princes country was at wr once With another country, the
prince went u with the army to fight There was a big battle and al
though the prince inc his men fought hard, they wered defeated n had to

evening came they were glad to lie down and rest The prince as fast
asleep when two OF his enemies vent by and saw him lying in The woods -
"Ah, they said, there Is the prince! Let rs go and kill him, we shall
get a great reward from our king
But Just then a fly, buzzng around the ear of the prince, lighted on hiss
lip and stung him. The prince awoke just in time. SO he RAJ away. The fly
had saved his life
Another time there was another great battle, and the princes men lost

DELAYS AT THE COUNTY BRIDGE

DELAIs AT THE COUNTY BRIDGE
Complaint has been made about
the delays caused by the opening of
the county bridge across the Raritan
river to allow a boat to pass when, if
another is seen some distance away,
the draw is kept open until it, too,
has gone through. With trolley cars
running every fifteen minutes across
zthe structure 1t can readily be seen
how thfs viii interfere with sched-
ules and cause innumerahle delays.
TO recite an actual experience,
one morning not long ago the bridge
was opened for a small launch going
down the river which had a stack
Just a little too high to go under the
bridge. At the same time a schooner
was sailing aup the river. 1t was Still
some distance off and 1t might have
been possible to have closed the draw
and open it again before it passed
Though, but as there is some doubt
@about this there was really no COM
plant that the bridge was kept open.
AS the schooner approached. how
eve a tugboat with three or four
brick scow8 was coming through the
railroad bridge. In the meantime
about twenty automobiles, a dozen
Wagons anda trolley car were held
up on the county bridge waiting to
get across. Someone spred this tow
coming through the railroad bridge
and remarked, jokingIy, that he sup
posed I'VE will have to wait for that,
too. little dreaming thai such would
be the case
As the. schooner. glided through
everyone began to wonder why the
bridge did not close. About that
time the tug with the tow which was
moving slowly up the river began to
blow for the county bridge and, sure
enough, the bridge stood open with
the crowd on both sides Eel increas-
ing. There were two trolley cars in
sight, one waiting at the switch on
the north end and the other standing
on the bridge waiting to pass over
snogthward. There was a long string
Of automobiles on both sides, to a
nothing Of farm wagons and other
fehicles. For fully a half hour this
traffic was held up while that tug
with Its tow moved slowly up the
river. The bridge could have been
opened and closed two or three times
while it was approaching.
We realize that the vessels have
the right Of way, but a little better
judgment would help traffic both on
SOD andwater a great deal. Perhaps
a word or two from the freeholders
to the bridge tenders would do some
good. The bridge is carrying a great
deal of traffic these days. To hold it
open for even ten or fifteen minutes
mea a great deal. To keep it open
a hale hour is beyond all reason.

GENERAL CASTLEMAN
Raked by Confederate Veterans Who
Have Withdrawn from the Louisiana
Divisiin.

New Orleans States Sept. 10: WASH
ington Artillery Camp No. IS voted
unanimously at a meeting Thursday
night to withdraw from the Louisiana
Division United Confederate Veterans,
the reason for its action being the
camps disapproval of the undue usurpa-
ton of power on the part of certain
leaders.
Resolutions were adopted condemnlng
the method of collecting data by the
commissioner of military records, and
deploring conditions in the Louisiana
Division that inspire veterans to make
the Confederate cause medium
through which pecuniary benefit is OBJ
tained."
In the absence of Commander Viii
liam J. Behan, William Palfrey presided
at the meeting. There was large at
tendance. The adoption of the resolu-
tions referred to above and the decision
to withdraw from the Louisiana Divls
IOtI IO1IOWSu WIldt SCSlSld1g uIl4SI oclI0
had been a long continued effort to har-
monize differences.
The resolutions in brief were to the
effect that certain members of the di-
vision, referring to the convention at
Alexandria in September 1909, had de-
termined to subordinate the constitu-
ton to their own desires. This was
made the chief reason for withdrawing
from the division. The resolutions also
contained strong condemnation of the
methods of the commissioner in collect
ing war records, the statement being
made that information was so carelessly
secured that the records were practi-
cally worthless, and should not be re-
garded as trustworthy by the Pension
Board

ROOSEVELT AND LoRIMER

The Commoner: Some may be in
clined to question the good taste of Mr.
Roosevelt's refusal to dine with Senator
Lorimer at the Hamilton Club banquet
Mr.. Roosevelt's action was indeed ex-
traordinary, but it is probable that the
American people will overlook the ques-
ton of taste in recognition of the dis
tinct public service Mr.. Roosevelt rem
dered when he gave emphasis to the fact
that men who profit politically through
bribery are not fit for the society of
honest men. 1t is quite true that Sen
ator Lorimer has not been convicted of
actually paying bribes, but the evidence
that some one purchased votes for him
is so complete that, regardless of the
verdicts of juries, the public mind is
convinced.
