K. OF P.
How Woman was Detected.

The following from Peck's Sun will be APP
preciated at its full value by many disciples of
Damon and Pythias in this city: "A woman
OF Bay City, Michigan, disguised herself as a
man and clerked in store for year, and
then applied for membership in the Knights of
Pythias, and was initiated. During the work
of the third degree her sex was discovered. 1t
seems that in the third degree they have an
India rubber rat and celluloid snake, which
run by clock-works inside, and which were
very natura, indeed. They let them run at
the candidates to see if they will finch. When
the snake ran out at the girl she kept nerve all
right but when the rat tried to run up her
trowser's leg she grabbed her imaginary skirt
in both hands and jumped upon the refriger-
ator (which is used in the work of the fourth
degree) and screamed bloody murder. The
girl is member of the order however, and
there is no help for it, This affair may open
the eyes of secret societies and cause them to
investigate. One lodge here, we understand,
takes precautions against the admission of
women by carefully examining the feet of APP
plicants. If the feet are cold enough to freeze
ice cream, the candidate is blackballed.

YELLOW FEVER.

Reports from Infected Sections.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The following dis
patches have been received:
BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Sept 20.
The quarantine against Matamoras is raised
by Mayor Carson and the gaurd arrested for
stopping the ferry. Unless our guards are
sustained by the State authorities the Gordon
is futile and should be disbanded. The same
conflicts must arise along the whole line and
restrictions here under our control are nece Z.
sary TO prevent an influx of paupers and new
material and progress of the disease in ranches
A copy is sent to the surgeon.
(Signed) MURRAY,
Surgeon, Chairman of Health Office.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Sept 20.
Murray telegraphs me he thinks there is no
fever above his Gordon. The whole Mexican
side is infected ID Mier. We think there
is no danger south of us but great danger from
the upper Rio Grande. Families crossed from
Mier before the fever was reported. Some
came as far es San Diego, but were stopped by
our guards. 1t is t) late now to move this
Gordon and it should be strengthened from
San Diego to Laredo. If this line is not strong
the fact will extent to southern Texas and
coast towns.
(Signed) SPoHN.
BROWNSVILLE, Texs7 Sept. 21.-Eighteen
new cases and one death from fever reported

AFTER THE CONVENTION.
What the Press Has to Say About It.


New YORK, Sept. 21-The Herald endorses
the nomination of Folger, but regrets it was
not Wadsworth.
The World says that decent Democrats and
Republicans alike will congratulate themselves
that in the news of the nomination of Judge
Folger they may read the political obituary of
Governor Cornell. Judge Folger everybody
will agree is a respectable candidate. Probab-
ly he is the strongest, as Cornell was the weak
est of all the candidates the Republican party
could have named. The nomination of Folger
will not heal the;breach between the warning
Republican factions, but the Democrats at
Syracuse must name a candidate IS RESP octable
as Folger and as conservative.
The Star (Tammany) says that Folger's nom-
ination is an administration expedieney and
remarks, "The herculean tesk sremains to be
accomplished before election of conciliating
the Half-bree6s, without which the canva }
would be hopeless. We shall see whether the
much vaunted tradition of Republican unity is
to be justified"
The Graphic says that with Judge Folger as
its candidate the Republican machine is in its
best possible trim for achieving victory at the
polls next November, no matter what the
Democrats may do at Syracuse. If the latter
harmonize their factional fights in New York
city, however, it will require pull altogether
to get him into the Governors chair.
The Commercial Advertiser says Folger is of
that class of men that reformers have been cry
afford 10 be beat on with such candidate as
Foger, but de5erves better fate than u be
betrayed by those who profess to be its friends.
BUFFALO. Sept. 21.-The Express bolts the
nomination of Folger. 1t favored Wadsworth.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The Post says: Fol-
ger appears as candidate of the national ad-
minstration for state office, and If anything
should be odious to the popular mind it is an
intrusive interference of federal power with
state affairs. What the general effect of Mr..
Folger's nomination on the masses may be we
can as yet only guess.
Arthur Not Surprised.
President Arthur on being informed last
night on his arrival in this city that Secretary
Folger had been nominated for Governor, ex-
pressed no surprise. The Cabinet will meet
the President here this afternoon.
SYRACUSE, Sept %, 1.30 a. m.-The commit

THE NEW COMET.
An Approximate Computation of It's
Elements

An Approximate Computation of It's
Elements.
Boston, Sept. 22-An approximate compu-
tation of the elements of the new comet Yves
completed by Mr.. s. G. Chandler, Jr. at Har-
ward Observatory at on6 o'clock this morning
based upon Prof. Swift of Cincinnati of the
P8th, together with that taken on the 10Th at
Cambridge, and that of the Goth al-o at Cam
bridge. At the time of the first observation
the comet was about &c, 900, 600 miles from the
earth, and at the time of the third observation
32,500,Cco. This corresponds to rategof speed
of SEQ 600 miles day.
Assuming the above calculation to be strict
ly correct the comet will approach within fif-
teen million miles of the earth, being nearest
the earth the early part of December, but then
will be visible only in the Southern hemis-
phere. 1t will probably be visible above the
horizon for few days here a little before sun
rise. Further observations to verify the above
will be taken.
