MERCURY WILL CROSS SUN
You Can See It To-morrow at the
Capitol—Will Not Occur Again
for Thirty-Nine Years
A transit of th e planet Mercury over
the sun's disk will occur to-morrow
morning and will be visible in Harris
burg, if clouds do not interfere.
When the sun rises here, Mercury will
already be half way across the sun's
face, but the rest of the phenomenon,
until the planet glides off the sun's
right-hand edge at 9 minutes 46.2 sec
eonds past 9 o'clock should be readily
observed. Mercury will be 63,000,000
miles distant from the earth and will
appear as a very small, round and black
dot against the sun. It is, however,
of such small size that the ordinary
method of looking through a piece of
smoked glass will not suffice to show it.
A meeting of the astronomy section
of the Harrisburg Natural History So
ciety has been called for 7.45 to-mor
row morning in the Capitol grounds
just south of the State Library build
ing where the transit will be viewed
with a telescope and any person in the
city will be welcome to .join the party.
Transits of Mercury occurred in 1894
and 1907 and none will again be vis
ible from this side of the world until
the years 1953 and 1960.
LONDON PRESSON ELECTION
"Times" Says Results Must Be Re
garded Little Short of Disaster to
Wilson Administration
bondon, Nov. 6, 3.55 A. M. —The
"Times" to-day, in an editorial on the
election results in the United States,
considers that they must be regarded as
a rebuff to the Democrats little short
of disaster, despite the fact that no
period of American history can even
begin to show so varied and fruitful an
array of legislative enactments as
stands to the credit of the Democratic
party under President Wilson's leader
ship.
Proceeding to pay the highest praise
to Mr. Wilson's administration the
"Times" says at the conclusion that
the Democrats had to pay the penalty
for a period of unusual depression, not
due to any remedial cause, and com
ments on the fact that the United
States, which has been hard hit by the
war, is yet able to take the risk of in
dulging in elections which have had the
result of weakening instead of uphold
ing the hands of its President and that
the voting showed no trace of the in
fluence of all the tremendous issues in
which America is involved through the
war of nations.
0. 0. P. DROPS PARADE PLAN
Explanation Is That Sinews of War
Are Scarce Since Battle Is Won
The contemplated parade and walk
around of the victorious Republican
hosts of Harrisburg and vicinity has
been abandoned. The idea was ad
vanced by a number of the more en
thusiastic members of the party who
thought that the big parade on Tues
day night ought to be supplemented by
another one next Tuesday, and there
was talk ot' arranging for it.
The suggestion, however, was frown
ed upon by those who supply the sinews
of war, as an expensive undertaking
that would have no effect on political
matters, and as coming too soon after
the election when funds are scarce. It
was also pointed out that the Harris
burg political clubs will b e called upon
to turn out at. the inauguration of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh in January, and that
it will be necessary to save the funds
for that occasion.
Neither County Chairman Horner,
City Chairman Oves, State Committee
man Smith nor any other of the leaders
favored the i lea of another parade and
it was virtually abandoned.

Need of the World, Asserts Evangelist,
Is for Christians Who Can Be
Readily Distinguished by Words and
Deeds From Other People
Evangelist Stough last night preach
ed before a crowded tabernacle the I
most earnest sermon he has yet given)
here, disappointing many persons who I
came to be amused, but fully satisfying I
any who came to be hard hit so it hurt. I
His subject was, "What Is a Chris
tian?" In a digression at the opening
of the sermon, he spoke of the way in
which Harrisburg sems to be taking his;
preaching: |
"There has been a great deal of talk j
going around the streets about my :
preaching. I tell you I never assert j
anything from this platform I don't;
mean. I will stand by absolutely every-!
thing I say here. But I will not stand :
by everything they say I say. A lot j
of you people come here and almost go ;
to sleep, and then when I spring some-!
thing on you suddenly, you jump up and
put things together your own way, and I
get everything wrong. 1 believe I am
the most misquoted man in this town j
to-day. I guess more lies are being told i
about me on the streets, intentionally I
and unintentionally, than about any-1
one who has been here for some time.
The biggest gang of liars is the crowd I
that never comes to hear me preach.,
When a person of that class says any-1
thing to you about my preaching, ask J
him whether he's heard me, and if he!
says he hasn't, tell him to shut his!
mouth."
Not Ali Churchmen Christians
The evangelist, after telling how the j
disciples were first called Christians,!
said that since that time the word has j
been used with great latitude. He de-1
dared that the terms needs to be over- i
haulod, in the so-called Christian coun- j
tries of Great Britain and Germauy,
since the outbreak of the great war, and
in so-called Christian America, since the
outcome of Tuesday's election in many
parts of the country.
"Many of you are laboring under
the delusion that because you are

that conclusions of the American phy

varieties of tubercule baccilli common

George Kunkel, of this city, will win
over Judge Robert Frazer, of Allegheny
county, in the race for Justice of tne
Supreme Court. None of the commit
tee would give out any figures this

all counties give Frazer a lead of ap
proximately 2,000 over the local can
didate.
1 he committeemen did say, however,
that they believe the official figures will
show Kunkel ahead. They point to the
fact that when Justice Re-hart, of fclie
Superior Court, ran last year, the orii
cial count gave 20,000 mo-re than did
the unofficial figures compiled and pub
lished shortly after the election.
An Associated Press dispatch from

Frazer, 369,432, and Kunkel, 361,.

will retire from the State Supreme
(.knirt bench some time during the pres

Stewart Declines to Talk
'However Justice Stewart, who now
is at his home in Chambersburg, in a
long distance telephone conversation
with a Star-Independent reporter this
morning, refused either to confirm or
dony the story of his contemplated re
tirement.
"This is Justice ftewart," he 'be;
gan, "what is wanted!"
He was informed thp.t the inquiry
concerned the newsipaper reports that
ho intended resigning and he said:
"I am not in any way responsible
for the report concerning me that ap
peared in the Philadelphia morning pa
pers. Therefore I do not feel called
upon to confirm or deny the statement.
That is all I have to say."
Judge Kun'kel was in his chamber*
to-dav and was cheerful despite the
fact that the outlook was not as bright
as it had been. Like the memlbers of
the committee who worked in his be
half, Tie still is hopeful. He would not
discuss the question of the possibility
of Justice Stewart resigning the Su
premo Court post afld the vacancy that
would result.
"That is another matter," said
Judge Kunkel. "We now are thinking
only of this election."
The committeemen last evening re
ceived a report on the latft missing
■county and to-day said they will do
nothing now, with respect to comparing
returns, until the official couilr is com
pleted in all counties.
In the event of a vacancy occurring
on the Supreme bench, the Judge a -
[minted to fill it would serve for le>*
t'han a year, as tfhere would have to be
an election for the post held in 1910.
The appointee would have to obtain the
nomination in the •primaries and then
stand for election.
