DELAWAREANS
SEEKING OFFICE'
Senator Saulsbury Besieged
With Applicants After
Political Plums
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAU
WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 19.—
During the tow weeks Failed States
Senator Willard Saulsbury. of Dela
ware. has been in Washington attend
ing the session of the Senate, which
adjourned yesterday until
when the extra session begins, he has
boon besieged by job hunters. Appli
cations for places under Uncle Sam
have been received by Senator Sauls
bury by mail, by telegraph, by tele
phone and in person.
Bui every application that has been
received has been answered and filed
known to Senator
April 7
away, It being
Saulsbury that in the oases of many
they will never be .heard off again.
There are not enough vacancies to
take care of all of those who waul a
job even If the Junior Delaware Sena
tor bad all of the places at hls dis
posal, a thing which ho docs not
possess.
The Democratic members of the
Senate, in caucus, have decided that
each Senator shall have the, disposi
tion of patronage amounting to : ".3ti0
a year In the Senate proper, so that
means that only about two places will
be secured by each member. Of course
there arc other Jobs which the Dela
ware Senator may be able to get, hut
In all he will not have more ban
half a dozen a t the Capitol proper,
w hile hls Influence In securing places
at the departments, which are not un
der civil service, will naturally be
very limited because of bis being a
new member.
Some of the applications which Sen
ator Saulsbury has received arc very
amusing One man in Sussex county,
declaring that he and his whole fam
ily have always been Salisbury Dem
ocrats, Is satisfied to be consul to Ger
many "If the salary is not less than
$10,00« a year," He adds that lis
■"wife's sister made » visit to Germany
about five years ago, and from her
description of the country he is sure
he will like It there." That Is one
of the applications which Senator
Salisbury has filed away, down below
the others, and It Is one which prob
ably never will see daylight again.
Another application comes from
East Wilmington, it Is from a ma
chinist, who says he has worked for
twelve years at a Wilmington ship
yard and ''understands
from A to 7."
engineer at the. Capitol, which he un
derstands "has Its own heating plant."
He admits that there will be little or
no healing to be done In the summer
time, but he thought "the warm
months might be used to advantage In
getting acquainted with the machin
ery." He adds that he "has never
vo. cd anything but the Democratic
ticket, and that he has seven chil
dren, four of them boÿs who will
some day be voters."
Rural New Castle county also has
It share of applicants and it Is
"roll it right home to Mr. Salisbury
that New Castle Is hls borne county,
md that some of the voters think ho
uiuhl to take care of New Castle
engineering
He wants to be chief
county first. One applicant writes:
"New Castle county always stood by
you. and now is your time to show
your appreciation of what we have
done for you. I would be willing to
take a job either at the Capitol or In
one of the departments, but 1 don't
see how I could live In the city on
less than $1200 a year. 1 can give
you plenty of references If you want
them." He then adds a P. S. in which
he says: "I have two sons who would
also like to find something to do,
so if yon can't get enough men to
take ail the places maybe we can get
them to each take one."

FIVE COMETS
DUE THIS YEAR
Suppose a ball of Iron 16» mile« in
diameter, weighing millions and mil -
Hong of tons, falling at the rale of
590 miles a minute, were to strike the
earth, what would happen? The bus
swer to such an appalling eataatropne
we shall leave to your imagination.
That Is the weight and mass of the
ordinary comet, ns judged by Uncle
Sam's leading astronomers and the
question is suggested because during
the year 1913 many cornels arc ex
pccted to visit the vicinity of
mundane sphere.
For ages the appearance of a comet's
has been the cause of much fear and
intense interest among the inhahi
tant» of Mother Earth. And e en to
day, alter centuries of study of that
celestlal phenomena,most people have
a superstitious dread of impending
calamity when they bear that certain
comets are about to approach the
eaith. and so it will continue as long
an human nature Is constituted us it

phal'a comet,
first expected to appear during the
year, has a very interesting history.
It is remarkable because the Iasi time
it was »een, in 1K92, II burst Into sud
den brilliancy/ that astronomers say
It must have been one of the great
stars In the heavens suddenly thrown
out of its orbit by some powerful un
known force, and taking fire, took up
Us endless course through space as a
comet.
The peculiar phenomena are ex
plained in this way: Many stars have
a fixed orbit, the same as the earth,
but sometimes a tremendous upheaval
occurs sufficient to throw the star
from Its orbit. It Is then east Into
space, bursts Into (lame and immedi
ately lakes up Its endluss travels
through the heavens, an Immense ball
of (Ire traveling at such terrific ve
locity that it finally burns up and dis
appears altogether. That is what
might happen to the earth were a dis
turbance to lake place In Its immedi
ate vicinity sufficient to throw it off
Its orbit. The earth would Imme
diately hecotno a comet an.' travel
through space until in the end It
burned up or fell Into the sun.
The next comet to appear will be
Finlay's This comet was first dis
covered in 1893 and again seen In
190«. At "'the last, return it passed
porlhelou—the lime when a comet ap
proaches nearest the sun on Sep
tember 8. Both Holmes' and Finlays'
comets have a period of about seven
years. Next In on'er will appear the
De Vico-E. Swift, comet. Some time
about the middle of April Kaeke'a
comet, will be visible. This comet
also has an interesting history. Scien
tists say Us orbit has changed and
that this change was brought : bout,
by a resisting medium somewhere tn
space, that Is, there is rorjo attrac
tion sufficiently great to change Its
course, and eventually tie comet will
be drawn closer and closer to the
sun until It finally drops Into that
body and disappears. The most In
teresting wanderer of the heavens to
appear during this year, however will
be Wcstpta's comet, last seen about
60 years ago, In 1852. Astronomers
all over the world will be on the look
out for this great comet.
»I« ATTRACTION
IT THE AVENUE
The production of "The Easiest
Way" at the Avenue Theatre next
week Is attracting so much attention
generally, that the box office of the
playhouse was a scene of activity
yesterday and oday. The telephones
were kept busy, while a large num
ber of personal Inquiries for seats
wore made The play will attract
larger audiences than anything that
his been presented at the Avenue
this season.
The appearance of Edwin Hoblns
In the east Is one of the i casons for
this favorable condition. The fact)
that he was leading man with Fran- 1
ecs Starr ih "The Easiest Way" for
three years with the original com
pany. making him eapeclally accepta
ble in this play. He knows how tMe
drama should be produced, and he
will ace that this is done.
The indications arc that the the
atre will not be large enough for the
crowds who will see next week's
great bill.
