URANoL0GY FOE JULY.


The phases of the Moon for July will be:
Last quarter, 9Th, 7.26 a. M; new Moon
18th, O.16 a. M; first quarter, 18th, 7.20
p. m. full Moon, 26th, 9.23 p. IN.
On the morning of the 9Th, just as the
Sun is rising lat 4.SS, the waning Moon
will occult the first magnitude star Aide
baran, the brightest in the constellation
Taurus and noticeable as the bottom star In
the " shaped cluster called the Hyades.
The immersion of the star may be observed
through spy-glass or opera-glass. The
point of immersion will be on the bright
part of the Moon very little distanceabo
the lower point OF the illuminated crescent.
The occultation will last 50 minutes. This
star will find itself in the way Of the Moon
twice more during the year r. on September
29th and December goth
The only conjunction Of Moon aud planet
deserving Of mention, during July, will be
that with Uranus, at GAS p. m. of the 10th.
The moon will pass only "a minutes to the
south of the planet. A good telescope will
be required to observe this approach, If
indeed, happening in day light AS 1t does, 1t
be visible ut all.
Mercury passed superior conjunction
with the Sun on June 9th and is now an
evening planet Being well up in northern
declination he will show to good advantage
in the early evenings of the latter half of
July. He will reach his greatest eastern
elongation on August 9Th, when he will be
go 29m. to the eastward of the Sun, and
will consequently not set until one
hour and so minutes after the
Sun. Rarely does Mercury fall so
far behind the Sun as this; his greatest
possible elongation being $50 4Sm. He may
therefore be depended on to be not only
easily seen but to be conspicuous
ornament of the twilight, for at least two
weeks preceding his elongation. On the
morning of the 18th he will be in close CON
junction, (only II minutes distant with
Venus. The conjunction itself will not be
| visible, but the two planets will be
quite close to each other on the
evenings of the 10th and 18th. On
the evenings of the c5th and Goth Mer
curry will likewise bequite close to the fixed
star Regulus, the same star with which tn,
larger Jupiter kept companionship during
May, and from which he has not departed
very fur.
Venus has reappeared as an evening
| planet. She became easily visible as sucl
about week ago and will continue t.
linger later above the horizon and to groy
in splendor until the winter months.
The other planets promise nothing q
special interest during July. Mars rise
now about 3 a. NJ. and is steadily but slowl
nearing us and growing rorresp ndingly /
brlliancy. How slow This growth is ma
be discerned from the fact that his dis
which measured 4. 2 seconds in Januar
measures only 4. 6 Seconds now. By th
close of the year 1t will have increased
nearly 10 seconds. Jupiter. on the othe
hand, is steadily departing from us and d.
creasing 10 brilianey; to return, howeve

Sun and may possibly be seen by earl

An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington says: "The President has
decided on the appointment of William
Dorsheimer to be United States attorney
for the Southern district of New York, vice
Elihu Root, resigned, and of Martin II.
Mcmahon to be United States marshal for
the same district, vice Joel b. Erhardt, re-
signed. The appointments will probably
be announced on Wednesday," Neither
of these gentlemen is member of the
Tammany organization. Mr.. Dorsheimer's
candidacy was formally approved by the
committee of twenty-four of Tammany
Hall last Friday. Gen. Mcmahon ex-
pressed surprise when thu dispatch was
shown to him. He said that he had afiili-
ated with no local faction of the party for
the last eight years. He has been receiver
of taxes 10 years at S4, 900 year. The
United States marshal is paid by fees,
which come to considerably more than
this salary. The SALARY of the United
States district attorney is $4,000.

Speaking of the Baltimore efforts to
interest the national government in the
construction of ship canal across this
peninsula, the ECening Telegraph says
that there is not a single argument which
Baltimore can advance in behalf thereof,
in order to obtain reader access to the
ocean, (which will not apply with ten
fold force to the proposition in behalf of
a canal across New Jersey in order that
vessels plying between Philadelphia and
Europe need not be obliged on every trip
to double Cape May" We would like
our esteemed contemporary to explain
the 'ten-fold." Philadelphia is larger
city than Baltimore, but not quite ten
times as large, nor has it ten times us
heavy foreign trade. Indeed, the Off
cial commercial reports for 1883, the most
recent we can lay our hands on at present,
make the total value of the imports and
exports of Philadelphia for that year,
$71, 1886, 800 of Baltimore, $G9,G02, $50.
Here is surely not margin enough to
Justify the use of any such word as ten
fold"
Again, Baltimore is fully twice Ms far
from the ocean by way of the Chesapeake
as Philadelphia is by way of the Delaware
river and bay.
Now, in direct line across New Jersey
we find Philadelphia is only about 80
miles from the Atlantic, while, measuring
in similarly direct line across the Clies-
apeake bay and the Delaware Peninsula,
we find Baltimore about 80 miles from
the sea.
This lends to the thought whether it
might not be practicable and advisable
for both cities to bring the ocean to their
doors in another way-by rail. Obviously
cargoes of freight could not be proftably
run in such a way, because of the extra
handling required; but it would seem to
be just the thing for passenger traffic and
the indications are that, in the near
future, lines of fast steamers carrying pas
sengers exclusively will be placed upon
the ocean. Considered only as an adjunct
to ship canals also the idea would seem
to be worthy of consideration. suppos-
ing Baltimore to be connected with the
ocean by q ship-canal dcbouching into
the Atlantic, say at the Breakwater,
would not that part of the route-the
crawling through the canal-be insuirer-
ably irksome to passengers ? Would

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 30.-A very
bitter war between 'the prohibitionists
and the anti-prohibitionists has been in
progress for several months at Armour
dale, just across the line, and
several persons who tried to smuggle
liquor into the state have been arrested
and fined for the offense. j. Schanken-
burg has been strong witness for the
prohibitionists in number of cases, and
in consequence has gained the ill-will not
only of saloon keepers but also of a
number of scitizens. Sunday night a
party of unknown men rode up
to Mr.. Schankenburg's house and
riddled it with bullets, firing into it
about 90 times. Fortunately the inmates
escaped the bullets they having retired to
q safe spot when the bombardment began.
The shooting is supposed to have been
done by parties who dislike Schanken-
burg on account of his attitude toward
liquor dealers.

MADISON, Wis, July lat the Dane
County Medical Society's meeting last
night, an interesting and unusual feature
was the exhibition by DIR. Settlers of
Stoughton, of a young Norwegian named
Iverson, who was suffering from leprosy.
The patient presented horrible appear
auce, his face being bloated and covered
with ugly blotches, the whole red in color
and strangely unnatural. The skin was thick
on his face, hands and feet and could be
pricked severely without the patient feel
ing any pain. The disease developed in
Iverson two years ago, being preceded by
n rheumatic sensation. The disease is
hereditary in the Iverson family, though
previous to the present lamentable case
it had not developed for several genera
tons. Leprosy is rare i'll this vicinity
and VERSIONS case has caused sensation
not confined to medical circles.

HORRIBLE EVIDENCE
That Two Children were Murdered

That Two Children were Murdered
by Gypsies and Eaten by Hogs.
MARSHALL, ILL.,, June 30.-Eyidences
Of what may prove to be peculiarly
horrible double tragedy were discovered
yesterday in Wabash township, this
county. Several weeks ago telegram to
st. Louis paper from Efingham gave an
account Of supposed kidnapping Of two
little scbool-gi by gypsies. A few days
afterward band Of gypsies camped.
two and s-half miles east Of here
for three nights. The first night
Officer Willard Hedrick passed the
camp and as he went by, a child ran
toward him crying and reckoning, but was
pursued and overtaken by an old bag.
Hedrick thought nothing Of the matter
but since then some children named
Davidson crossing high hill near the
location Of tho Gypsy camp saw hole in
the ground near which hogs were roofing
and from which came o sickening stencil.
Sheriff Fair and deputy went to inyesti-
gate and dug down three feet into o
grave four feet long by two and one
half wide. They turned up mass
Of worms and bits of clothes. While
the men were digging at the
hole gypsy man suddenly came over the
hill and stopped, looking startled. After
asking few questions, he turned rapidly
and disappeared. Many other circum-
stances, slight in themselves, tend to con-
firm the theory that the two children met
their death in the gypsy camp, that the
poor innocents were buried and, being
covered lightly, the hogs, of which there
we're 30 or 40 in the field, were attracted
by the stencil and devoured the remains

FREEPoRT, ILL.,, June 30.-Mrs. Nellie
Dame Yourex Baker Phillips was married
IN Freeport last night to Charles Yourex,
from whom she had been divorced. She
first married him in June, 1882, and only
lived with him one day, as she was taken
away from him by her parents. Yourex
left this section and not hearing from him
size married one John O. Baker, in Feb
ruAry, 1883, who left her after a short
time, he having another wife elsewhere.
Later on Nellie married Harry L. Phillips,
u railroad brakeman. They quarreled,
patted, and Philips got divorce, but
before the decree was finally made, he
married again, for which Nellie brought
suit against him for bigamy, and had him
bound over to court. The decree was
granted in the meantime and Yourex,
laying come back, the marriage of last
night followed. The bride is now only
IL years of age and has now been four
times married and all of her husbands
are still living.

there not soon be demand for fast
steamer line across the Chesapeake to
connect with railroad line to Lewes,
over which passengers could be whisked
to board outgoing steamers at that place
or over which arriving passengers disem-
barking at Lewes could be hurried TO the
city and escape the tedious passage
through the canal
Similarly, either with or without Q
canal, the construction of an artificial
harbor, say at Atlantic City, where ocear
steamers might take on or discharge pas
sengers, might be a project worthy thu
consideration of Philadelphians.

CHICAGO, June 30.-Ai an early hour
this morning, in an .'all night meet
ipg' held by the Conductors and
Car Drivers Association, motion
was made TINT strike Of ali
the lines of the West Side division
railway be inaugurated ut a. m. and
that every member of the association be
at the several bans at that hour to
see that no cars should be started. The
motion was carried with cheers. A de-
mand for the reinstatement of IA dis
charged employees is the cause of the
strike. One thousand men ere members
of the association, and the company with
whom they are contrasting owns the street
car facilities for the entire portion of the
city known as the West Side.
Az consequence the residents Of the
West Side this morning are experiencing
all the beauties of All extended strike.
The great body of the population were
compelled to "foot it, TO the business
district. The streets were filled, however
with express wagons and carts converted
for the time being into carryalls, and 0
number of Anticipated omnibuses were
resurrected for the occasion TO carry pas
sengers. How long the strike will last

night. The match was for $3.50 side
and was won by Doyle, Jones refusing to
respond to the call of time in the sixth

taken out We're used, and both men were
battered terribly. Doyle showed the most
punishment but his superior endurance
won the day. Doyle weighed 100 pounds
and Jones 165, while the former had also
the advantage in hight. Jones showed
superior boxing skill and repeatedly
landed his left hand on Doyle's counte-
nance, one time partially splitting his

PHILADELPHIA Juiio ~ iooos
To save writing we printed
the most of a letter we had
occasion to send to two or
three hundred newspapers. A
few Of these papers not alto
gether pleased with the part
of the letter written to them
have given vent to their feel
ings; and this expression of
theirs suggests a word not to
them but to you for whom we
print our news of the store.
We incline to advertise all
the year round in all the well
managed papers within our
local trading circuit. If we
don't It's because of some OBJ
stacle--of which no matter
here.
We are able to give early
and widespread news of ar
rivals Of notable goods, of
changes of fashion, of shifts
in prices, of opportunities, bar
gains. We like to explain
the natures of hundreds of
things that merchants rarely
talk about frankly-manufac-
turers' secrets, mercantile sys-
TENS, buyers rights and privi-
leges. These things ought
to be known. We happen to
know that newspaper-readers
miss pur news when it drops
out Il paper. Readers value
such Information quite as much
as dpg-fights, divorces and
othef such dainties. ...=
Possibly we differ from mer-
chants in general. Are they
not 4 little apt to look on
casual buyers as SO many
lambs to be ileeced and let 90?
They serve their regular Gus
toners better perhaps. We
reckon every buyer a regular
buyer. Welook to every buyer
we get the chance to serve
once for permanent support.
We keep a store for all the
people. We deal with all
alike. Our plan of busine. S
is larger, wider, more compre-
hensive. We are on the
buyers side, We gather to,
gether buyers interests and
make them our own.
We have called it reform.
It is reform. Philadelphia mer-
chants used to be very-''in-
dependent some call it unac-
commodating, inpudent. Not
SO now. If they refuse a
buyer a reasonable privilege,
Very well, I'll go to Wana-
makers brings them to
terms. Philadelphia's a better
city to shop in than any other
we know-more liberality,less
cheating. Everybody says our
system has brought this about.
The very fact Of our getting
the largest trade here-largest
several times over of course
we have sought the
people as people ought to be
sought. Only eight years,
remember.
