TWO NOTED WOMEN GONE.
Maria Mitchell, the Astronomer, and
Carlotta Patti, the Famous Singer.

Maria Mitchell, the Astronomer, and
Carlotta Patti, the Famous Singer.
Maria Mitchell the noted astronomer, died
at 9:30 in the morning at the residence of
Mrs. Benjamin 81. Currier, in Lynn, Mass. She
has suffered with disease of the brain and
been failing for the past year and G half.
The remains were taken to Nantucket for
burial.
Maria Mitchell was daughter Of William
Mitchell, the astronomer, and was born In
Nantucket, Mass, August I, 1918. She carly
made such progress in mathematical and as
Economical studies as to be able to assist her
father in his Investigations. She devoted
much time to astronomical research, espe-
cially in the line Of nebul3 and comets.
In 1s47 came tho discovery of the comet
which introduced the young astronomer to
the older astronomers The King of Denmark
gave her gold medal in recognition Of the
discovery. There are seven other comets
which she has found. She was in advance Of
other watchers in some cases by few days
in others by only few hours Soon after 1S47
Miss Mitchell went to Europe. In England
she was the guest Of Sir John Herschel and
Sir George Airy, then astronomer royal ut
Greenwich.
In 1866 Miss Mitchell was called to tho chair
Of astronomy at Vassar College, where she
remained until 1888, when she offered her res
ignation. The trustees refused to accept 1t,
but granted her leave of absence. The degree
Of LII. D. was conferred upon her in 1852 by
Hanover, and by Columbia in 1855.
Carlotta Patti.
Carlotta Patti de Munck has just died in
Paris in the forty ninth year of her age. She
was the daughter of Salvatore Patti, an Ital.
ion singer, and Of Spanish mother, well
known before her marriage with Patti as Sig
nora Barili. She was sister Of the famous
Adelina Patti -Nicolini.
Carlotta Patti was one of the greatest song
birds of the world, and had it not been for
her defect of lameness she would have rivaled
As it was, her sphere was restricted, and her
reputation was less general.
Her voice was the marvel of her time; and
was probably the highest soprano ever
known; while her execution he's been ro-
gardod as extraordinary.
She tried the experiment of singing in
opera, appearing in the Magic Flute, where
tie heroine is not obliged to be active, but her
physical limitations made her efforts unSuc-
ceSsful.
As concert singer her fame was world
wide. But this success did not satisfy her am
bition, and toward the last she grew to bo
disappointed and unhappy woman.
It Vas sore trial to her pride to be regarded
as so inferior to her sister, when she felt, but
for the misfortune of her lameness, that she
would have been the greater Patti. Of late
years she has not appeared frequently in pub
lie. In 1879 she married the well known vio-
Gncellist Ernst de Munck.

AN OLD WAR CRY.

Republicans in Ohio find that it is
not easy to overcome the popular pref
udice against a third term. The
Cleveland Le0der tried to meet the senti-
ment by giving "A list of governors who
have held office for three terms. but the
Ledsfer a tripped in its history and is
not able to face the declaration that
mo person ever held the office of gov
eriior of Ohio, by election succession or
appointment, for three successive
terms"
The anti-thi- term sentiment may
be altogether unworthy and not i'm
harmony with the best theory of good
government. but all the same it will
doubtless injure Governor Foraker's
chances this year. and he and his
friends will remember that republicans
were the first to foster it. They raised
the cry against President Grant and cap
tured for MI. Hayes a nomination
which Grant would surely have re.
ceived but for the persistent shout
against the celebrated 'three hundred
and six" who were loyal to Grant to
the very last, but who were buried un-
der the anti third-term doctrine

OUTSIDE THE B~REASTwoRks.

Warner Miller was u lonely man
when he fell outside the republican
breastworks in the fall campaign Of
1883. His personal efforts drew out
the heavy granger vote of the Empire
state, which was h great factor in de-
feating the democratic electoral ticket,
and all fair-minded republicans con-
coded hat the martyr tn high license
should have a fair whack at the ma
tional crib. Thomas &. Platt soon
knocked the ex-senator's aspirations
galley west, however. and left him a
forlorn warrior on the deserted battle
field.
Warner Miller is not so lonesome
now AS he was u few months ago. In
fact a great many republicans have
fallen outside the breastworks since
March 4, and the oft occurring thud is
frequently heard in the national capital.
The meaning of the battle cry of
protection" has proved a puzzle to
many party leaders throughout the
country, and particularly i'm the West.
We all know what a howl went up at
the clause in the Mills bill which pro-
posed to admit raw wool free of duty.

ARREST OF A BOGUS PRIEST

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-There is prisoner at
the Central station supposed to be Gus
tave de Rohan, the bogus priest. He has
been locked up for several days, and the
arrest has been kept quiet until the police
investigation reaches a satisfactory con-
clusioa. This notorious confidence
mans latest escapade was to OBJ
tain $50 from Thomas Robinson.
treasurer of the McAvoy Brewing
Company, to whom he went in the garb of
a Catholic priest. He has been wanted
here for this job, and others here and else
where. A few days ago Inspector Bontield
heard that ne was in Milwaukee and tele-
graphed to the inspector there to find him.
\ man who resembles Gustave de
Rohan in every way was found by
the Milwaukee police at S76 Windlake
avenue, living with his wife and two
children under the name of
Emil H. kitZer. He was Incorporating in
the priestly garments, and had already
victimized Father Decker, of St An
thongs parish, Milwaukee, and had also
collected considerable sums OF money
by claiming to be collector for the Little
Sisters of the Poor Officer Crane was
sent to Milwaukee, and he brought Kitzer
back on requisition. K;tzer denies that
he is Gustaye de Rohan but the
police are not inclined TO believe him. The
gold spectacles which he wore have been
identified as the property of Father Dunn,
of Joliet. In Father Dunn's parish he COL
lected money for an imaginary blind man,
having first obtained the permission of the
unsuspectiug Father Dunn and then re
warded the good man by stealing his spec
