An Interesting Celestial Event.


The planetary record OF this month will
be diversified by an event of extraordinary in
terest. A remarkably close conjunction be-
tween Mars and Saturn will take place on the
last day Of the month. The two planets. mt
their nearest approach, will only be separated
by one minute ~ nm arc or the siNtieth part OF
a degree-an intervening space So small that 10
the unasssted eye Mars will seem to pass
directly over the more distant Saturn. Indeed,
II is not improbable that an Occultntion will
really occur. instead OF close conjunction. II
this prove to be- the case, the astronomers OF
the present century will have an almost
unique phenomenon TO place upon their
annals. We believe there Is but one wel-nu-
thenticated occurrence Of the kind on astronom-
zeal records and that is an orcultntion Of Jupi-
ter by Mars on the 9th OF January, 1891. A
close conjunction between Mars and Saturn is
also n rarity. the last one occurring on the 18th
OF April. 1917. Unfortunately for American
star-gH2"rs. the phase Of closest conjunction in
this longitude will take place at about o'clock
in the afternoon. an unfavorable time for max
ing observations on the stars. Mars and Saturn
will, however. be worth looking after, though
the best part Of tho play is over. They will rise
on the Both OF the mouth. not long after mid
night. nearly at tho sumo time and, Of course.
not very far apart. Special notice should be
directed to a comparison of the color OF the two
planets. Saturn il usually Of dull leaden
color. but when near Mars he takes on deli
cate green. tho ruddy blaze of Mars producing
this effect on what is called the principle Of COM

The Rov. DR.. MULLIGAN may be n ripe
theologian and an orr Ient Of the Reformed
Presbyterian pulpit But when he asserted
In Synod the other day that the country
trembled when Congress met and rejoiced
when Congress adjourned, the Rev. DR.. Null
LIGAN made n very silly and un-American
speech.
1t was not original with the Rev. DR.. Null
LIoAN. Since they lost control Of Congress
II has been the fashion among Republican
politicians and organ-grinders to represent
that body as a public enemy.
For much longer period this silly fash
lon has prevailed among certain class OF
capitalists and business men, in whom self
Ishness has eaten out whatever patriotism
they may have had when they started in
life. These are the men who are for a
"strong government" They gave GRANT
mis- second term, and arc eager TO give him
q third, a fourth, fifth term. They may
call themselves Republicans, but their re-
publicanism is only skin deep. They are
already lmperalists in their hearts-or
rather in their pockets.
Happily for the future OF the country,
this sneer at the peoples representatives
finds no echo In the hearts OF tho people.
They may sometimes become impatient OF
the tedious prolixity Of the debates; they
may sometimes complain, with justice, OF
lll-considered projects Of economical and
financial legislation. But, however they
may grumble at this or that, they know
that this Congress, with all its faults, Is the
ono thing that stands between them and the
loss OF that civil liberty and self-govern-
ment which every true American prizes

Meanwhile in Richmond. Va. Two private
detectives have been indicted for releasing
forgcr intrustod to their custody. and one OF
them likewise for robbinR n man.
At Kieff, last month"; a woman was sem
fenced to b. shot, and four girls were sentenced
10 hard labor in the mines for terms varying
from four years TO fourteen yenrs and ten
months. The womau's offence was trying to
kill one OF the Czar's policemen; the charge
against the girls was belonging TO revolu-
tionary society" All OF them are described as
Of good families. and therefore. presumably
dellcately nurtured and well educated. For

Tho sixth annual report OF the Pennsyl-
vnnia Bureau OF Industrial Statistics contains
some valuable information about the mining
regions OF that State. There are three Inspec-
tors OF Bitumlnous Coal Mines. and each in
spector has a separate district. The first dis
trict. in which there are two hundred and
forty-four mines. comprises tho counties OF
Allegheny. westmorelnnd. Washington. Greene.
Fayetto. Somerset. and Bedford and includee
all tho heavy works on the Monongahcla and
Youghiogheny rivers. The second district ON
bracng tho counties OF Armstrong. Clarion
Jefferson. vonango. Mercer. Butler. Lawrence.
Beaver. and Indiana. has fltty-cight mines. and
tho third district. consisting OF Cambria. Blair.
Huntingdon. Centre. Cearneld. Elk, Cameron.
Mexican. Potter. Clinton. Lycomng. and
Bradford counties. has thirty-four mines.
In tho first district, whore the estimated
number OF persons employed Is 1901. thirty
two fatal accidents occurred during tho
year 1873. and sixty-one accidents not fatal.
Twenty-Five lives were destroyed by falling
slate. and seven by explosion OF steam
boilers. Six persons were burned by explo-
sons OF gas. but mono fatally. Tho esti-
mated amount OF coal produced in the district
| during the year was 9372.SS1 tons OF 1000
| pounds, exclusive OF nut coal and slack. The
| average price paid per ton for mining was
| forty-two cents. and the average amount earned
| by each miner during the year was ms low us
| 1895. In tho second district there were twenty
| casualties. Of which four proved fatal. and In
| the third district there were but eight cases OF
| injury OF which only one was fatal. Neverthe-
less the inspector of the third district charges

Suicides and attempted suicides are bo-
coming altogether too frequent incidents OF
ferryboat travel. Aside from more serious con-
sidoratons. they dsagreeahy and in some
cases injuriously excite the nerves OF the
non-sucdal passengers BY increasing the
number OF deck hands. and picking out the
right sort OF men. the ferry companies would
greatly decrease the number of these river
suicides if not put stop to them altogether,
This would involve an extra expense. of course
