The head of Halley's comet will not
come nearer to our planet than by
about 100000 miles. Astronomers
disagree on the figure but not on
these facts.
However, the tail of Halleys comet
may be long enough to bridge the in
terval between the head OF the comet
and the earth. III so, the astronomers
feel fairly sure that the tail is long
enough to do so. the earth will pass
through the tail of the comet.
We know that the head of the
comet is solid. We also know that it's
tail Is less dense than the air in the
best vacuum we can make with
mercury air pump. This is thinner
than thin. The molecules will be
separated each by several cubit feet.
So the timid may take new hope.
This earth Of ours will continue to do
business at the old stand.
In ancient days the mass of the
people attributed strange things to
the presence of Halley's comet. For
example, they would have said Hal
ley's comet caused the death OF King
Edward. or course such fallacies and
the fear that the comet will put an
end to the earth are no longer held
by the people.

her own. Her husband dies and she
then finds that her lover dare not
marry her for fear OF the discovery
which his own daughter must make OF
the past life of the two.
The first touch of the impending
tragedy comes when Sam Wright, an
imaginative and poetic youth. in love
with Helena, attempts to kill himself
after his stern old grandfather has
discovered the secret of the woman's
life. The child Is taken away from
the stricken woman and she Ia left in
utter misery. Only after she has
given up her lover entirely and re-
signed herself to fate is her sadness
relieved by the giving back of the boy
to her.
In the strong scenes OF the play Mar
garet Anglin depicts human suffering
In many phases. The pain Of the first
scene, when she learns that her lover
does not intend to marry her, even
when he may, is acted In a manner

and Select Delegates.
COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETS
No Break in the Ranks of the
independent Democrats.

The attempt Of the Patterson
Democrats to get the independent
Democrats ont to the meeting here
Monday was n dismal failure. The
meeting was called by John Z.
Lashlee as "harmony" affair, but
it proved boomerang.
The distinguished body met at
the court house at / o'clock, and
numbered probably two hundred.
1t was presided over by Stephen
A. Clement, the versatile editor of
the Camden Citizen, aud staunch
Patterson man.
The resolutions were presented
by ID. G. Hudson, one OF Patter-
sons lieutenants in Benton County.
Judge Joseph E. Jones was en-
dorsed for Governor, Tate Rogers
for State Senator, W. W. Whitfield
for Floterial Representative, and
declared for saloons in the four
large cities of the State. Judge
Jones was called for, and he re-
sponded with a rousing speech,
which seemingly tickled the more
enthusiastic of his audience.
There were some few independ-
ent Democrats in the court house
at the time, attracted there solely
by curiosity, but they were not par
ticipating in the proceedings, not
withstanding several of them were
named as delegates without THEN
consent, and they did not attend
