sheriff of Western county has found Gu
rious omblcms about them, has studied their
character and listened to their conversation,
until he can tell regularly initiated tramp

and instructive dialogue took place between
the sheriff and one of squad of tramps

secchi, the italian Astromomsr.

Italy has lost another of her il
lustrious sons. Following close
upon the death of Pope Plus TX. ,
came the death of Father Secchi,
the renowned astronomer, who ell
joyedsa worldwide fame. Pietro
Angelo Secchi was born in Emilia
on the Goth of July, 1918, and died
in Rome on the Goth Of February,
1878. He entered the Order of Jes-
uits in 1888, studied mathematics
under the celebrated De Vicio, and
taught physics in the College of
Loretto from 1S41 to 1S43. In 1914
he commenced a theological course
at Rome, and was afterward invited
to the United States, taking up his
residence at Georgetown, Washing
ton, where he was Professor of
Mathematics and Physics till 1850,
when he returned to Rome. He was
then made Director of the College
of Rome. reconstructed 1t anew
and invented perfect system OF
meteorological observations. He
published monthly bulletin of
his observations up to 1878, and in
vented q meteorograph which at
tracted the attention OF the
learned world at the Paris Exposi-
tion in 1867. His astronomical
discoveries since 1850 have attract
cd the greatest attention, especially
his spectroscopic analysis of the
stellar and solar physical systems.
Although belonging TO the Jesuit
order, no astronomer more thor
oughly divorced religion and
science or gave to each u more dis
tinct individuality. His name as
Identified with science is sacred to
the scientific of all nations. Padre
Secchi, born in an age of intellec-
tual giants of the scientific school,
stands forth amongst them as
second Galileo.

To Res.rict the Traffic TIA Liquor

Bones bill to regulate the liquor
traffic, provides that no persons
shall obtain a license to sell intox-
icating or other fermented liquors
in quantities of less than one gal
lon, without having first obtained
a license under the provisions Of
the act. Section 2 authorizes the
legislative body of any incorporated
town, city or county, to issue o
license upon written application
anG satisfactory proof that tie per-
son 80 applying for the license is of
good moral character. 1t also re-
quires certificate by five respect
able citizens. Section provides
graduated license according to the
ratio of populations; in counties and
cities of 10000 population, not more
than one license shall issue for
every 500 Inhabitants. Section 5
fixes license of the first.class
in counties at $40 per month, and
in Incorporated cities and towns
piUUj secouu CLASS, Ill couutleS, SlUU
per month; in cities, $3.50. Section
prohibits carrying on the selling
of malt or spirituous liquors in any
particular when two-thirds of the
Inhabitants of the block protest,
in writing, against the same. Sec.
tion requires that all places
where liquors are sold, except ho-
tells, shall be closed at 10 P. NJ, and
on Sundays between the hours of
10 A. NJ. aud 2 p. NJ, and P. NJ. and
P. NJ, under penalty of forfeiture
of license. First class licenses are
for the sale of malt liquors and
wines; second class for spirituous
liquors. The hill was referred to
the Committee on Public Morals.
This bill is one of the most inde-
fensible and impracticable that
could possibly be devised.
