THE PLANETS IN FEBRUARY.
Movements Of the Stellar World
Winters Last Month.

Movements Of the Stellar World in
Winters Last Month.
Four planets may be seen in February
Mercury, Venus and Saturn are evening
stars. Jupiter is a morning star.
Mercury, during the first week of this
month, is visible to the naked eye, having
just passed his nearest approach to the earth
and his period of greatest brilliancy. He sets
on the LIST about one hour and half after
the sun. II the evening be exceptionally
clear, an observer will easily find this rarely
beautiful planet, three-quarters of an hour
after sunset, in the southwest, nearly So
north of the sunset point An opera glass
will be an aid in finding him, and when
found it is easy to follow his course with
the naked eye.
Venus is the peerless evening star, reign
ing supreme in the southwestern sky She
reaches her greatest distance east from the
sun on the 18th, and then retraces her stems
toward him. Her stay above the horizon
after this time will be shorter, but her size
and brilliancy will constantly increase as
she approaches the earth. Venus will be
seen in her most charming aspect during
February, March and April She must not
be mistaken for the Star Of Bethlehem, -
which has no present existence except in
the popular imagination.
Saturn is evening star. He is nearest to
the earth on the 5th, and in excellent posi-.
ton during the whole month He NAV be
found on the 9th in the northeast. rising
when the sun sets, and remaining visible
through the entire night Observers can
easily follow his course, remembering that
he rises four minutes earlier every night.
Saturn may be known by his pale yellow
color and serene, steady light, and also by
the bright star Reguus 10 the handle of the
Sickle, a few degrees southeast OF him.
p Jupiter is morning star, rising on the Is.
more than two hours before the sun, and on
the last Of the month, more than four hours
before the sun. A glance at the southeastern
sky after he has risen will reveal the pres
ence Of the majestic king OF the stars. He
cannot be mistaken for any other for no
other star in the vicinity compares with
him in brightness.
The starlit sky Of February reveals much
to interest those WHO watch the planets in
their courses. Venus and Mercury shine I'm
the southwest in greater or lesser glory.
Saturn holds his court in the southeast In
the early evening, ana Jupiter, sole repre-
sentative OF the brotherhood in the morning
sky, reigns without rival as the SUMS
bright harbinger.

George p. Phillips, colored man resid.

of the leaders of that ward OF the btal-

tion that in the days Of the old "Oity

tions in this city by means OF forged tax
receipts, which were frequently stored
for fe-keeping in safe in one OF the
city departments. He distributed the
tax receipts among the eolored dupes
who were detected in the act OF making
use Of them.
The captured receipts bore evidence Of
having been used to vote upon at the
election last November and there IL q
strong suspicion that they were then
issued for the sole purpose Of electtng
Henry d. Hickman to the levy conrt. IL
is well known that Hickman's falling out
with Collectors Diekey and Nesry was
because they would not issue tax re-
ceipts to Republicans ut his dictAtion,
solely on account Of their promise TO
vote for him. The collectors claimed
that the balances Of the Democratic ticket
was entitled to consideration and refused
to qualify Republicans at will simply
because they would vote for Hickman.
But Hickman's managers were too des.
perate to stop, for little thing like this,
and IL is well-known fact that number
of negroes voted last fall on tax receipts
that would hardly bear CLOSE inspection.
A few of thole receipts were captured at
the time by some Democratic inspectors
who were not into the Hickman secret,
but they were quickly given q pointer
and the work went on. By these means
and in consideration Of his bargain with
certain Republicans Hickman managed
to pull through by small majority.
