well, yes, l should say we did.
We drove the feet off to the sea, and
kept it out there"
But didn't you have any trouble
over more serious attempts to sink the

Il should say we did. But our ar.
rangements were so incomplete that

To the Stockholders of the Rapides Ag-
ricultural Fair Association:
GENTLEMEN-For several years past
have been honored with the Presi-
dency of your Board Of Directors, for
which honor my heartfelt thanks are
hereby rendered. During these years
no effort has been spared, on my part,
| in the discharge of the duties inculn-
bent on me. Without the assistance
and hearty cooperation of the Stock
holders, the President and Direc-
tors can do nothing-my individual eff
forts are of no avail. Such assistance
from the Stockholders, am sorry to
say, have not had. I have time and
again advertised meetings, and exhaus-
ted nv individual efforts in trying to
bring the Stockholders together, but
all in vain; and when by accident, as
| it were, a quorum of the stock, assem-
bled, it was represented by six or eight
individuals holding proxies. This is
not what was required; we need bona
fide meeting of Stockholders represent
ing themselves in person, to meet to-
gether and advise as to the means to be
adopted to preserve the property of the
association from foreclosure and de-
|,struction Having utterly failed in all
my efforts to bring the Stockholders to-
gether in harmonious concert OF action,
[ can but consider, gentlemen, your ut
ter Indifference as an evidence of your
want of confidence in me, your execu-
tive officer, and hoping that you may
find some one who will manage your
affairs with more ability and success,
1 hereby tender my resignation as your
President and as member of your
Board of Directors. l am, gentlemen,
most respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,

LOW that the steady improvement In the

BE reason for the longer suppression OF the
letters and papers taken from Guiteau after his
arr St The people are anxious to know every
thing connected with the assault upon the
President. They feel that they have right TO
1t. The authorities state frankly that there is
no suspicion Of conspiracy. 1t Is plain to
everybody that there was none. There Is no
pretense that the suppression OF these papers
will. In anywise assist the ends of justice.
Indeec the reasons assigned for the continued
secrecy with regard to the would-be

GUS District Attorney Corkhill Is quoted as
having said that the letters and papers
Which are so secretly guarded will not be usei
either before the grand jury or In the trial Of
Gulteau; that they are not necessary to either
his indictment or conviction; and in fact tnat
''they are OF no conSe luence" II this is true,
then there can be Nd valid objection to the
publication OF these papers. Their contents
Will show, from all accounts, the origin of the
numerous conception in the aS5assin's MUD

method for the assassination, and his reasons
such as they are-for it. AS already stated
the theory OF conspiracy has been exploded
and but few nov entertain even suspicion Of
that kind; but there are some who st II cling
to this idea, and the best way to convince
them OF their error Is TO lay before the ,untry
the letters OF the assassin. which, the author

tirely alone In his crime. AT least, this much

The Great Comet.

Mr.. s. c. Chandler, Of the Cambridge Glass
Observatory, communicates to a New York
paper some Information about the comet now
visible In the rort-ern heavens which le pub
lie have long been waiting for. From the
eRhemeris OF the comet given By Mr.. Chandler,
and which dates back TO May goth, 1t appears
that the comet seen with the naked eye in Cor
dora and Rio de Janeiro about the first OF June
Is Identical With that now visible to US. When
first seen il the southern hemisphere 1t was a
very conspicuous object, but there Is good rea-
son for believing that 1t might have been seen,
with telescope, as nebulous object m Any
months ago. The epbemeris shows that the
comet In moving northwest and towards its
perfhelion rose and set at ABOUT the same time
as the sun. and, OF course, could not be seen In
this latitude until 1t had reached a high
northern declination. When rising before
or setting after the sun it became vlsl-
BILE to the naked eye. At the time
of It's nearest approach to the sun, about June
18th, 1t was almost In straight line between the
earth and the sun, and the earth must have
passed very near or possibly through s3me
portion OF the comets tail. It is hardly posi-.
Die that II could have been seen In the northern
hemisphere before the 21st of June.
From Mr.. Chambers ephemeris it appears
that the comet will be within about eight de-
grees of the north pole OF the heavens on the
10th OF the present month. and It Is probable
that IL will continue to De circumpolar In our
latitude until It's great distance from the earth
and sun renders 1t no longer visible to the
naked eye.
The first elements OF the comets orbit pore
striking resemblance to those OF the great comet
OF lS01. but il is we'll known now that the two
comets cannot be Identical. After a few
months observations astronomers VIII be abe
TO tell whether or not this comet has been seen
during.the last TWO thousand years.
