The Pennsylvania railroad is beginning
to make use of station indicator, an ar
rangement for notifying passengers as to
what station they are approaching. AT
either end Of the car is q neat case con-
tanning a piece of muslin or canvass on
rollers, upon which is printed or painted
in legible letters all the stations of the
road. BY lever on the locomotive the
engineer on leaving a station changes the
Indicator so as to show the next stopping
place. 1t is q complete and convenient
affair.

Washington Letter.


Public anxiety now that the President
has rallied so completely from the severe
relapse Of ten days ago, has given way to
a strong feeling of hope, even confidence
that he will certainly recover now within
4 reasonable time, unless local inflama-
ton be set up in the region where the
to be the principal danger to the distin-
gUShed patient. Conservatism in sur
gerry, as in other matters is often COM
mendble, but there are sometimes con-
ditions in which heroic measures alone,
will be found equal to the emergency
The question as to which would have
been the proper treatment in the Presi-
dents case remains yet to be positively
decided by subsequent results. An i'm
portant crisis in the case has now been
safely passed but how soon another may
come no one can tell, or that it will not
come any day, cannot, | think, be assert
ed with any degree of certainty, by even
the most distinguished Of the six attend
ing surgeons. The crisis that has been
safely passed was met by treatment hero
that another might not be avoided by a
like measure? The bulletin Of this morn
ing is not quite as satisfactory as for sev-
eral days past, but no alarming symp-
toms are reported, and hope still prevails
Us the high temperature and the excess
i've humidity of the atmosphere for the
past few days might account for any
slight change for the worse in his case.
Politically everything appears to be
very quiet here, now that the New York
embroglo has been settled by The cleo
ton Of two Senators who can and will
act in sympathy and harmony with the
administration. Just what the effect of
Conkling's terrible defeat will be remains
to be seen hereafter. Ifhe and his friends
seek to retaliate by maintaining Il ''mas-
terly inactivity or in other ways at
their command, it may result in the de-
feat Of the Republican party in New York
this fall, but there are those who do not
think such will be the case, or that the
fate of the party in any State, or in the
country at large depends upon any one
man at any time, much, less SO after that
man has abandoned-not to say betrayed
a high trust committed to him by the
people of his State, and | am one Of that
kind. | predicted his defeat from the
day he resigned and think he deserved
it. [ think also that the Republican par
ty will still live and move and have be-
ing, for great and glorious as has been
the work accomplished by it in the past
it's mission is not yet ended and future
lies before, pregnant with great events
and noble deeds-a future in which it car
and will, firmly believe, make record
such as shall not suffer in the least, wher
compared with it's record for the past
twenty years.
Coalition appears to be the prevailing
sentiment in regard to the situation il
Virginia, and as it seems to be that OF
Bourbon rule for an indefinite period, il
would seem to be advisable to accept the
former as the least Of two evils.

The Sum Bishop McCloskey Loses by Re-
fusa1 of Surrogate Calvin to Probate a
Will.
New YORK, June 24.--Surrogate Calvin to-
day gave decision refusing to probate the
will of Caroline A. Merrill, who died leaving
an estate valued at IS, 100000 After bequeath.
ing small sums to relatives the woman gave
$4,000 to the New York hospital, $4,000 to
Cardinal McCloskey or his successor, and the
residue of the estate to Bishop Bacon, of Maine.
Bishop Bacon having died, she exc
cuted codicil in Rome on the 10Th of Decem-
ber, 1875, bequeathing the residue of the estate
to Cardinal McCloskey,or should he die before
her, to Rev. Thomas s. Preston, chancellor of
the New York diocese for charitable purposes
Wher the will was offered for probate in 1878,
it was contested by Geo. Merrill, nephew and
alleged adopted son, and by others next of
kin, putting in issue mental incapacity and
freedom of restraint of decedent. The surro-
gate finds the will and codicil were executed
by the decedent while laboring under an in
sane delusion as to the character and conduct
of her nephew, Geo. Merrill. Had it been ad-
mitted, Cardinal McCloskey would have re-
ceived over $500 900.

CINCINNATI, June A.-Prof. Ormand Stone,
of the Cincinnati observatory, observed the
comet last night. He says it is moving rapid
ly north. He is quite positive it is not the
comet of 1912, but thinks it may be that of
1907, whose return was not expected by
astronomers for 200 years. He thinks it is
the same comet seen about June Sd by DR..
Gould in South America. The apparition is
exceedingly interesting, and will be watched
every night by the corps of astronomers at the
Cincinnati observatory.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-The naval observa-
tory states that the comet was distinctly seen
here at 3 O'Clock this morning, and will be
seen tonight again; that it has been follow

was not sooner discovered.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-The comet re-
reported discovered at two places in the East
