A Reproductive Comet

The present comet IN the eastern
sky, which can be distinctly seen by
every one at early morning is cer-
ta,nly the most remarkable one OF all
the modern comets. Prof. Lewis
Swift. director of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, \. y. states
that the comet grazed the sun so
closely as to cause great disturbance,
SO much that it has divided into no
less than eight seperate parts, all OF
which can be distinctly seen by a
good telescope. There is only one 9TH
er instance on record where comet
has divided. that one being Bella
comet OF 1916. which separated INTO
two parts.

Will Castle Garden Be Closed!

New York special to the Press: Emf
grafton Commissioner George Starr
went to Albany the other day to make
another appeal for the governors sig
nature to the Castle Garden appropria-
ton bill. A private dispatch received
in this city this afternoon asserts that
the governor is memorable and will
withhold his endorsement of the meas
ure on the ground that the steamship
companies should pay head-tax large
enough to make the commission self
supporting. "1he consequence will
be-" says Superintendent Jackson
"that the bureau will be abolished
There is to be meeting of the com
missloners tomorrow. | am familiar
with their views of the situation and
confidently expect that they will pass a
resolution to close Castle Garden early
on Saturday morning. The Institutions
on Wards Island cannot be so sum-
marily closed. We have here over
500 people, 1856 of whom are in the
asylum for the insane. About 200 are
received there in the hospital and asy-
lum daily, and an equal number dis
charged each day. No more will be
taken on the island after we shut up
here. Those now under treatment will
be discharged as soon as they are well
enough to leave" In Castle Garden
are forty-three employees. The pay
roll for May was $2,67S.4S The sup
plies for the institutions on Wards is

this monthly rate it would require
100000 for the year. "When we close
the doors here" continued Mr.. Jack

running, with all its frauds and out
RACES, will be resorted to. Agents for
bagnios kept these accused places fill

A City Under GrOund-ImpOrtant Dis
cOyeries Made While Digging a Ca
nal in Florida.

For the past six months the work of
digging the canal to connect Lake
Eustis and Dora, in order to open up
the more southern lakes or "Great Lake
Region of Florida" has been prescott
ed. The second cutting of the conal
was finished last week under the super
vision of Mr.. L. III. Sprott, who has
been from the commencement one of
the foremen on the work. At the out
let of Lake Dora the sandbar had
already been cut to the depth of nearly
or quite three feet ON the previous dig
ging, and was dug about two feet deeper
last week. At distance of even four
feet below the old levil of Lake Dora a
mound was discovered. The first exca-
vatioxs revealed the existence of
clearly-defned wall lying in a line
tending toward south west from where
it was first struck. This wall was COM
posed of a dark-brown sandstone, very
much crumbled in place, but more
distinct, more clearly defined, and the
stone more solid as the digging increas-
ed in depth. The wall was evidently
the eastern side of an ancient home or
Notification, as the slope of the wall was
to the west.
About eight feet from the slope Of
the eastern wall mound of sand was
struck. imbedded in the muck forma-
ton above and around it. This sand
mound was dug into only few inches,
as the depth of the water demanded
but slight incroas depth of the camel
at that point, but enough was discover
ed to warrent the belief that here on
the northwestern shore of Lake Dora
is submerged g city or town of fortifica-
ton older by centuries than anything
yet discovered in this portian of Florida.
Small, curiously-shaped blocks of sand
stone, some of them showing traces of
fire. pieces of pottery and untensils
made of a notified flint, were thrown
out by the men while working waist
deep in water. A spear-head Of mottled
flint. five and half inches long by one
and quarter inches wide, nicely
finished, is now to be seen at the
Herald office, which was taken from
the top of the sand-mound and about
four feet below the vater-level of the
lake.-Trduers (FI1.) Herald.

The Future of Alaska.

With comparatively mild climate
throughout the Archipelago, with most
valuable ship building timber covering
the islands, with cedar that new sells
at $3.50 thousand feet in Sitka, with
splendid harbors, with inexhaustible
fisheries, with an abundance of coal,
and the probability that veins of cop
per, lead, silver, and gold await the
prospector, with the possibility of rails
ng sufficient garden vegetables, and
with wild cranberry swamps on nearly
every island; with all these advantages
it is surprising that an industrious, am
phibious, ship building, fishing colony
from New England, or other states,
has not established itself in Alaska.
One drawback is that Congress has not
yet organized q territorial government,
but when this region shall have been
opened up to individual enterprise and
settlement, it will then be discovered
that Alaska is valuable possession

Department Clerks.

The senators and representatives rep
resenting states which have not their
full quotas of clerks in the depart
ments here are agitating once more a
reform which will give them their due.
They know that some states and terri
tories, notably the District of Columbia,
have more clerks i'll the departments
than they are entitled to, while they
themselves are unable to secure a sin
gle appointment, although their states
quota has not been appointed. So cir
culars have once more been sent
through the departments, in which the
clerks are requested from what state
ard by what influence he or she was
appointed. This circular has been
around before. It is always a source of
annoyance and anxiety to large class
of efficient public servants who were
originally appointed without the aid of
political influence, or whose influence"
is dead. In one well-eonducted bureau
to-day many of the most industrious
and faithful clerks, chiefly those of the
higher grades, were scratching their
heads over this seductive little circular.
They are all good men. They had no
political influence. No one of them
knew either a senator or a representa-
tive. However, they had to sign the
circular, writing the word "None" OPP
posite the question "By what political
influence were you appointed and are
yau retained?"

A Wedding al Midnight.

Chattanooga special to the Cincinnati
Gazette: Mr.. Lee Hale and Miss Katie
Morgan had long loved each other, but
the parents of Miss Katie objected to
the union. An eloIement had been
determined on, and Sunday night was
the time set. The father and brothers
of the young lady by some means had
got an inkling of what was going on,
and determined to watch and await de-
vclopments. OF course, the frequent
visits of Miss Katie to the front veranda
were watched with an eye single to an
interruption of any attempt to escape.
About II o'clock Sunday night, by the
light of the gas jets, the form of Mr.
Lee Hale was seen approaching. A
minister had been procured, and, in
company with a few friends of the
bridegroom, were standing at reason
able distance on the pavement. The
unusual crowd on the street had attract
ed few policem en- to the scene, but
as soon as it became known what was
in the wind no interference was made.
Miss Morgan, on the approach of her
lover, attempted to leave the house to
join him. Her cruel father and brothers
caught hold of and attempted to inter.
cept her, but she broke away from
them and ran to the head of the steps.
BY some unaccountable accident the
young lady stumbled and fell headlong
down the steps. Fortunately she was
not injured further tlan few unim-
portant bruises On her body, Mr.. Hale
stood at the foot of the stairway, and
raising the girl in his arms, assisted her
to where the minister and friends were
standing. Everything being in readi-
ness, they were uniter in marriage in
less than three minutes. All the high
contracting parties stand well socially.

good health. He has dark hair, and
serving his fifth consecutive term in
congress. Personally, Mr.. Hubbell is
not man who is very quick to gain
friends, being reserved in manner; but
his long service in congress has given
him a wide circle of acquaintaces-
both political and social. AS debater
or parliam entarian he does not take
very high rank. He may be compared,
in this respect, to Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, who seems utterly unable
to address the Senate except in
a broken, colloquial way, and is yet
probably as thorough master of prac-
teal politics as there is in that body.
Hubbell was chairman of the republi-
can congressional campaign commit
tee, in 1880, during the presidential
campaign.
Gen. Rosecrans has little in common
with Mr.. Hubbell, though, like him,
he is fair speaker, and when he does
address the house he commands re-
spectful attention. The "hero of
Chickamauga is now nearly sixty
three years old, and the hardships of
war have weakened his naturally strong
constitution, and he cannot move
about with his old-time activity. His
back is bent, and he walks with the as
sistance of cane His hair and close
cropped beard are both white, though
his face has ruddy and healthy COM
plexion He has mis- office in a private
residence on Indiana avenue. He
there spends most of his time in re-
ceiving visitors, of whom he has great
many, and debating letters to his nu-
merous correspondents. Unlike Mr..
Hubbell, he possesses a personal mag
netism and Kindness of manner, which
at once win the confidence of strangers.
He is entirely unaffected in converse
ton and displays none of that naughty,
domineering disposition found in some
men who have occupied high positions
In natural sagacity and shrewdness he
is Hubbell's equal; what he could do
in the way of collecting campaign
funds from government employees, if
he had Hubbelps opportunities for
that kind of work, is rather uncertain.
Rosecrans is an enthusiastic partisan,
and if the democrats have any success
in the coming campaign, it will be
largely through his fundamentally.

further went on to say that Mr.. Ylden

a sumner.

George VIM. Curtis sent letters to all
whom Hubbell assessed, telling them
not to pay. Hubbell came back ..at
him in q blustery letter challenging
him to make test case before the at
torney general at once. To this Curtis
sends the following stdnner to Hubbell:
If a man knows he holds his place
by personal favor, he will naturally
propitiate that favor in order to retain
his place. 1t was the knowledge that
the liberty of office-holders in this
matter is thus impaired which led con-
gress to pass an act of protection, to
which our circular refers. That act
recognizes, as the universal experience
and reason of the case show, that
government employee whose family de
ponds upon his wages, is not deluded
by the phrase voluntary contribution"
and fears he cannot refuse to pay with
out taking the risk of dismissal Hi
refusal, indeed, would not be alleged as
a reason. But it would be a reason;
and to say to an employee, as the circu-
lar of tn congressional committee says,
that his contribution will not be OBJ
iected to in any official quarter is mere
ly to tighten the screw. 1t is a hint to
him that the demand is known and APP
proved by those who can dismiss him.
You assert your willingness to ask the
president to ask the opinion of the at
torney general, but qoatr circular hG
been sent to employees an the attorney gen
eneraPs office. and it distinctly q sSstre
them, bu necessary implication, the head
of the office does not object. If you read
the newspapers carefully you are aware
of the very general public condemna-
ton of the practice of political assess
ments; and they are condemned for
the precise reason that such assess
ments are not what they pretend to be
voluntary contributions. If you ask
me to contribute to our treasury, l am
a private citizens, and can give or re-
fuse without suffering. But if you and
your associates ask my neighbor, who
is employed in the custom house, for a
contribution, he feels he is in danger if
he declines. This is an infringement
of the equal liberty of citiz ems which
makes this practice odious, while its
inevitable consequences make it threat
ening to the public welfare.

A Singular Story of the Sea.

st. Johns special New York Herald.
The mail steamer Curlew, just in
from the west coast, brings an account
of a strange and unique adventure. A
sealing captain named James Rabbit,
native of Buergo, N F., who has been
somewhat successful among the oil
fields the past spring, went to Sydney,
G. B., to purchase fitting schooner.
Having secured vessel of about six
ty tons burden he locked around for
crew, but could not succeed in getting
a seaman for love or money. He then
bodily determined to put to sea alone
and navigate his vessel Down to New
foundland. He left Sydney on the Bird
inst, and all went well with him till the
morning of the 9th, when requireing
some refreshments, he dashed his helm
and went below to boil his teakettle.
He had not left the deck longer than
three minutes when he heard his YES
sci bump, bump heavily against q rock
Rushing on deck he fonnd the schoo-
ner's jib-boom clean over the rock.
Startled at his position of peril he
went out on the jlbboom end and drop;
ped himself on the rock. He had
SCSrSeIv litnueu when IL pun Vi Wluu
struck the vessels headsails and wheel
ed her off clear of the reef, leaving the
captain behind. The scho oner was
soon lost to sight ia the fog that hung
over the ocean, and Capt, Rabbit was
left like lone seagui on his rocky
perch amid silent waste of water. He
had no food and not drop of water
to drink. The whole day passed and
night came Oh, but without any sign of
approaching succor. About noon the
next day some skifs were off from
the shore for cunning purposes. The
strange sailor was discovered on the
highest peak of the rock and was res
cued with some difficulty and brought
safely to his home in Buergo. No It'd
ihgs of the derelict schooner have yet
been learned.

n EunereaI scandal.

Judge Taylor, of Ohio, intends, after
the internal Revenue Bill shall have
been disposed of, to seek consideration
of the bill for paying the expenses of
General Garfield's sickness and funeral.
A day will probably be spent upon the
bill should there develop any reluc-
lance on the part of the Auditing Com
mittee in the production of vouchers
for refreshments items on the funeral
trip. 1t may be remembered that when
this scandal leaked out Mr.. Page was
credited with having destroyed the
vouchers, as the surest means of evad-
ing inquiry upon this point. There is
strong suspicion, however, that he
would not dare to do so, but still has
them, and no effort will be spared to
make him disgorge.

THEY MET AT THE CIRCUS.
singular story of Nr. and Mrs. kent
the Latter OF whom became Hrs.
Miller While the Former was alive
st. Paul Pioneer Press

A singular case came up in the mu-
nicipal court, yesterday. Some twenty
five ears ago, Angie Miller and Harri-
son Kent were married at Albany, n.
Y, and in the course of time eight
children were sent to bless their mari
tai happiness. About eight years ago,
L ent, impelled partly by necessity and
partly by the desire to see the western
country, left his family and came to
Minnesota. Communication was kept
up at irregular intervals with his fami-
ly, and finally ceased altogether. Sup
posing her husband TO be dead, Mrs.
Kent came to st. Paul couple of
years ago, establishing a boarding
house on East Seventh street, near the
st. Paul pillow works. Among the
boarders in Mrs. Kent's household was
one ]. A. Miller, who, becoming infat-
uated with the charms of his landlady,
made an offer of marriage which was
accepted after much hesitation, the
lady fearing her first husband might
not be dead. However, Mrs. Kent be-
came Mrs. Miller in March last. Now
comes the singular part of the story.
On Friday, the 10th, Kent, spectator
at Sells Brothers show, was accosted
by one of his own children. Explana-
tions resulted in the meeting of hus-
band and wife, and meeting, also, of
the two benedicts. By mutual agree
ment the lady was allowed to choose
between the two better halves, and she
chose Kent, her first husband. In a fit
of anger, the reunited pair claim, Mil
ler has preferrad tha eharoa af adl1l-
terry, which now rests against them in
the police court. Final hearing was
postponed until this morning.

HubbeIl and Rosecrans.

]. A. Hubbell, of Michigan, chair
man of the Republican congressional
campaign committee, and William
Rosecrans, chairman ofthe Democratic
congressional campaign committee, are
both prominently before the public at
present, though not for the same rea-
son. The former has stirred up the
civil service reformers by his vigorous
system of political assessments, while
the latter has been and is attracting q
good share of attention by contro-
versy relative to himself and Garfield.
Both are members of congress, but are
so pressed with business preliminary
to the coming campaign that neither
finds time to attend to legislative work,
and 10th, consequently, are but rarely
seen in the House. Mr.. Hubbell is ten
years the junior of Rosecrans, and looks
it. He is rather short in stature,
stocky in form, and has an air of robust
