Parker with the next demo cratic presidential nomination, says the Tacoma Xews. The republican nomin ation of President Roosevelt Is as cer tain, apparently," as anything political could be so far In advance of a conven tion, and this fact of Itself has a ten dency to focus speculation upon Mr. Roosevelt's probaWe opponent in the next campaign. A number of names have been informally discussed both by the newspapers and the politicians and tt ia already evident that no name men tioned in this connection has aroMsed as much general Inquiry and favorable comment as that of the able chief judge of the New York court of appeals. In the south particularly the newspapers are Ciscussing Judge Parker with con siderable warmth and an exceedingly friendly disposition. In New York state It is unquestionably true that Judge Parker Is regarded by the rank and file of the democratic party as the Moses who can lead the party to victory. He carried the state by 60.000 majority in 1S97 when a candidate for chief Judge of the court of appeals against United States Circuit Judge William J. Wal lace. ' No other democrat has carried the Empire state since Mr. Cleveland receive.! Its electarial vote in 1S92, with the exception of two candidates on the state ticket last fall. Judge Gray, who was re-elected to the court of appeals bench and th democratic candidate for attorney-general, who was elected through the aid of an endorsement by the prohibitionists. But Governor! Odell's re-election over Bird S. Coler served rather to accentuate Judge Par ker's popularity with the democratic voters of New York state. The opin- . Ion is widely entertained that If Judge Parker had been nominated for gover nor despite his own objections and the announcement, apparently authorative, that he would decline it if tendered, a report subsequently denied, but which probably led to -Mr. Coler's nomination by the state convention, Judge Parker would have been elected governor over Mir. Odell, whose plurality of 111,136 In 1900 was reduced to 8.803 in 1902. Had any democrat carried the state of New York for the governorship last fall his nomination to the presidency- in 1904 would have been a foregone conclusion. Tilden and Cleveland were both nomi nated under such circumstances and the national democracy is looking out for the candidate who has carried New York and may do it again. , As regards Judge Parker's personal- I lty and qualifications, aside from the question of his availability, it may be eiid that he is a man of tine presence, attractive disposition, spotless reputa tion and distinguished ability, in the very prime of life, whose legal and ju dicial achievements have won him a commanding position not only in his own state but In the country at large. He has been a judge, first of the sur rogate's court in Clster county, New York, then of the supreme court In the Third Judicial district of that state, to which he was elected for a term of 14 years during the '60s, and was elevated to the chief Judgeship of the court of appeals, taking his seat on that famous bench January 1, 1898. Since becoming a Judge, Mr Parker has kept aloof from j partisan politics, and has avoided the factional disputes which have rent the democratic, party. It is reported from Washington that President Roosevelt expects that Judge Parker will be his opponent in the next presidential cam paiyn and that New York will be the chief battleground. DOUBLE ELECTRIC TRANS MISSION. , Doctor Bedell's plan for transmitting two electric currents, one direct nnd the other alternating, over one set of wires has much to commend It. The chief advantage of it Is that by getting dou ble service out of the conductors the cost of copr I theoretically reduced one-half. Incidentally, he make It possible to get rid of fluctuations in the brightness of incandescent lights oper. atd by th sam circuit which runs a number of motors. Finally, to the el ectrician, the plan will commend Itself by Its camparatlve simplicity. When two messages are sent over a telegra. ph wire simultaneously under the "du plex" system special appliances are necessary to steer the different currents off to the right receivers. Such appar atus more than pays for Itself, but tt add to the cost of telegraphy. The Ithica inventor gets around that neves sity easily. First, he establishes two complete direct current circuits by means of four wires. Then he couples together one wire of each pair for one alternating current, and the remaining wires are connected for a second cur rent of the latter character. Four dif ferent combinations are possible with his four wires. The Ingenuity and stm- pliictty of the method nre positively captivating. In estimating the future usefulness of this system of distributing current from central stations one must recog nize the fact that the scheme Is advan tageous chiefly tif not exclusively) where it is desirable to run four distinct circuits over parallel routes, says the New York Tribune. Form erly incandescent and arc lights were operated by different circuits, and often with different kinds of current. Of late the tendency has been toward the employment of the same circuit and the same kind of current a direct current. Shop and fan motors, too, are driven by electricity from the same set of mains. If, though, more satisfactory results can be obtained by dividing up the service, and doing four kinds of work with four separate circuits, the facilities which Doctor Bedell offers will be welcome. lie has himself called attention to the benefit to be derived from separating a motor circuit from a lamp circuit. Variations in the de mand for power from one minute to the next would not then alter the brillian cy of th? light. Moreover, the time is probably not far distant when alternat ing current motors will be more extens ively used than now In workshops. Doctor Bedell's system will undoubted ly encourage their introduction. Another limitation which must be borne In mind is the necessity for mak ing the fcur conductors uniform in size. If only two currents were to be trans mitted one pair might be large and the other small. It would be both absurd and wasteful, though, to couple a big ad a little wire together in making up the third and fourth circuits. One of the most important requisites of elec trical engineering Is such a close calcu lation of the size of a conductor that it shall carry a current without undue resistance and yet without costing too much. No two currents of the four here contemplated need have the.same voltage of volume. The higher the voltage the less would be the metal re. quired to transmit a given amount of energy. It would be feasible to send more power in the form of a high pres sure current than as a low pressure current ovjr the same conductor. Hence the voltage employed for the ex tra service must be computed with special reference to the size of the wire; and it may not always prove so conven ient to vary this factor in the combin ation as it would tie to change the dia meter of the wire. A VERY CLOSE CALL. "I stuck to my engine though every Joint ached and every nerve was racked with pain," writes C. W. Bellamy, a lo comotive fireman. "I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all run down. As I was about to give up I got a bottle of Electric Bittters, and after taking It I felt as well as I ever did in my life." Weak, sickly, rundown people always gain new life, strength and vigor from their use. Try them. Satisfaction guaranteed by Charles Rogers, dru?i;ii!t Price 50 cents. WONDERFUL' NERVE.

You Never Know the Moment When This Information May Trove of Infinite Value. It is wor th considerable to any reader to know the value and use of medicine, for If there Is no occasion to employ It, In the meantime, frail humanity Is sub ject to so many influences and unfor- seen contingencies that the wisest are totally unable to guage the future. Know, then, that Doan's Ointment will cure any case of hemorrhoids, common ly known as piles, or any disease of the cuticle or skin, generally termed ecz ma. One application convinces a continuation cures. Read the proor: T. H. Thomas, nttorney of 600 E. Bennett avenue. Cripple Creek, says: "I Just as emphatically "endorse Doan's Ointment today as I did In the montn of June 1899. At that time I went to a drug store for a box which I used for Itching hemorrhoids. A few applica tions gave wonderful relief, and a short continuation of the treatment cured me There have been symptoms of a recur rence since, but a few applications or the remedy never falls to bring positive relief. My opinion of Doan's Ointment, then expressed, Is the same today as It was when It waa first brought to my notice." For sale by all dealers; rrlre 10 cents per box. Foster-Miiburn Co., Buffalo N.
