Our dispatches this morning note the ap-
pearance of bright comet. 1t was seen by
an attache yf the CHRONICLE Office yesterday
morning, about 3 O'clock in the eastern
horizon, little north of east, who describes
it as very brilliant. It viii probably be
visible for some time This may Or may not
be the same as referred to in note from G. S.
Whitmore, secretary of the Rochester AS
Economical Society, Warner Observatory,
in which he says:
1t appears that still another comet has
just been discovered by DIR. Gould, director
of the Cordova Observatory, Argentine Re-
public, South America. This comet seems
to be the great comet of 1907, and is located
in the Constellation of the Dove, right as
cension 6 hours and declination south 80
degrees. 1t is not visible from this latitude
and not known yet that it will be, although
it is likely to be as the comet of 1907 was
distinctly seen. No apprehension need be
had over the unusualappearance of comets
during the present year as they do not pos
sess the power to work injury upon the
earth or any other planet.

dry. Stalled animals will fatten more
readily than others, and young animals re-
quire richer fnod than older ones In winter
fattening much depends upon the warmth
of the stable. The warmer the cattle are
kept, the less food will be needed.
1t is claimed by some feeders that 100
pounds of corn-meal and 100 pounds Of
bran mixed will give greater gain in flesh
than 200 pounds of meal fed alone Meal
and bran mixed is more perfect feed than
meal alone. Bran contains a larger per-
centage of phosphoric acid potash and nj

In the Nature ofa SurprIse.

Luke Blackburn's s defeat yesterday at
the Coney Island Jockey Club aces fairly
staggered the general racing public and
in the enormous odds that were laid on his
whining immense sums of money were
won and lost. This horse which has been
pursuing On- of the most Brilliant OF
careers in this brief racing life has been
looked on as almost invincible and re-
ports OF his doings have travelled so +
that his praises have even been sounded
on the other side of the Atlantic in no
ordinary terms. He had met and conquer>
ed so many of the great ones of the Amer
lean turf that the public almost without
exception have come t. Look upon him as
having at his mercy every ace for which
he was entered. Despite the fact that there
were reports of lis being i'll at eas upon
his legs in one or two races, lat ly his
speed and stamina were counted upon to
run down any thoroughbred opposed to
him, and more money was offered upon
him just before the race yesterday than

tisements appear in this mornings
papers for bids for a lease for term
Of % years of the Cincinnati South,
ern Railroad. This is a long looked
for result, but is somewhat unex-

there was a deadlock between the
trustees of the railroad and the
trustees of the sinking fund. The
proposed lease has been sgreed to
by both boards. It asks bids of so
much per annum for a term of 25
years. The bids will be opened
about the last of August.

OF all the disgraceful verdiets
ever rendered by jury, that one
acquitting z. B. Cash, of South

Shannon, is the worst. The verdict
was contrary to the facts, as univer-

to the law, as charged by the Judge
who presided at the trial. Every

jured himself. The particulars of
the trial were briefly given in our

publicly for Sherman for the Presi-

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.

The postponement of further &C
ton IN the Star route cases, so far
as prosecutions are concerned, until
September nexf, is a settled fact.
Last week the government expected
to begin action Immediately. The
evidence upon which indictments
against leading members of the ring
would undoubtedly have been found
was prepared, and would have been
laid before the grand jury at the
earliest opportunity. Judge Cox,
however, decided to adjourn the
court on July ID to take his summer
vacation. The principal defendants
came on to Washington from New
York expecting that proceedings
would be Instituted against them i'm
mediately. Dorsey arrived here Sun>
day morning, and Gen. Brady came
yesterday. TIE ring is cheered by
this postponement, but the govern
ment will continue busy working up
the cases during July and August.
Judge Cox, of the District su-
preme court, in charging the grand
jury to-day, which will probably try
the Star route cases, spoke as fol
lows: "I am informed, by public
rumor only, that during the present
term your attention will probablysbe
called to a series of frauds said tc
have been perpetrated against the
government of the United States
in connection with the postal service,
in which, perhaps, both contractors
and officials will be implicated. l
am not advised as to what form the
charges will take, and still less as
to the persons involved. I only
deem it necessary TO say to you in
general terms that, from the magni-
tute Of the public service, the United
States is exposed to assault in
many quarters, that temptations are
SO great that private conscience
seems TO be SO much more hlunted
to dealing with the United States
than with private individuals, that the
only protection the United States has
from this species of wrong doing is
the very stringent legislation. Puri,
ty of public service cannot be guard
ed and protected unless laws of this
kind are faithfully and rigidly en-
forced. This is a subject that ex-
cites a great deal of interest at the
present time, and, perhaps, more es-
Pecially calls for the exercise, on
your part, of great care in the obs
servance of these duties which you
have assumed generally, and partic-
ularly t. discharge from your minds
all such influences as malice on one
hand and fear or favor or affection
on the other, and especially for the
exercise of perfect secrecy in your
deliberations and Investigations con-
