SEPTEMBER AMo Nc THE STARS.
The Movements of the Planets During

The Movements of the Planets During
Autumn'S First Month.
September is a brilliant month among
the stars. Saturn is morning star during
the month. A remarkable conjunction Of
Saturn and Mars occurs on Sept. 90, at 8 a.
m. 1t is the closest conjunction of the two
planets on astronomical records, Saturn
being at the time only L south of Mars. so
that to the naked eye the planets will prob
ably appear to coalesce AS the coniunc-
ton occurs very near the time when the
planets rise, observers must look for them
as soon as they are above the horizon. Thew
must be looked for in the northeast where
the bright star Regulus, 4 west and 35
south of Saturn, will be guide to point
them out. There are two difficulties in the
observation of this conjunction. The
planets are too far from the earth aud too
near the horizon to be seen to advantage.
The diameter of Mars is A., nearly invisi-
bio TO the naked eye. Saturn's diameter is
Is. 4, and he may more easily be found.
An opera glass or small telescope, will,
however, bring them both into the field
As Mars plunges into the Saturnian system
he nearly occults one of the satellites, ia
petus, passing only 70" at 5 a. IN.
Saturn is in conjunction with Venus

favorable. The planets are higher above the
horizon, are easily visible, and Regulus is
in close vicinity. The interval between
them is little greater than the diameter of
the moon.
Venus is morning star. She is still fair
to see as she makes her way nearer to the
sun, her luster growing dim as she ap-
proaches the goal. Observers will nofe
how near together are the planets Venus,
Saturn and Mars, and the star Regulus
during the month.
Mercury is evening star. He reaches his
greatest eastern elongation on the Doth at
. p. m, being then 25' 10 east of the sun.
Sharp-sighted observers may pick him up
about the Goth in the west after sunset. but
he is too far south of the sun to be seen I'M

The police and one or two constables are
looking for Thomas Leak, a printer, who
stabbed Joseph Pate in the MORNING NEWS

two men had not been on friendly terms for
q long while. Leak, it is said, had several
times tried to meet Pate, but the
latter avoided him. This, how
ever, was denied by Pate. SATURDAY.
afternoon Leak walked into the MORNING
NEWS composing-room, where Pate was
at work, and seeing him, attempted to re-
new the quarrel. Pate told him to keep
away and Leak then struck Pate ia the
breast with an open pOcketknife, knocking
him eff his stool. The knife blade entered
the flesh over the heart, making a cut about
an inch Deep Leak was quickly got out
of the way. Pate had his wound dressed
and swore out a warrant in Justice Patter-
sons court for Leaks arrest for assault
with intent to murder. Leaks friends
got him off the streets, aud told the officers
that he had left town. Anyway he had not
been arrested up to last night. Pate's wound
is not at all serious, and he was around all

THE HIGH SCHOOL TUITION FEE.
Some Reasons Why It Should be
Abolished.


Editor Morning Net0s: Why is it that
Savannah is the only city in the state in
which tuition fee is charged in the high
school Z The charge of 50 per month is an
onerous expense to those of limited means
1t Is well known that the larger proportion
OF scholars who attain the highest records
are among those whose parents cannot wen
afford this outlay, therefore it bars out and
makes 1t prohibltory TO many a deserving
and ambitious scholar. Now why should
this continue This charge was
lnaugurated some fifteen years ago
when the county was poor and
unable to bear the EXPENSE. At
that time, French and German were taught
IN the school, but afterward were dropned
anu the expense of this teacher We saved.
Looking at the appropriations compara-
lively, We find the county appropriation
for 1880 some $4,000, while for ensuino
year is placed at sos, 900, over double. Tie
state legislature appropriated for the past
year SOD, 100; next year S330,000, in addi-
tlon 20 specific taxes, rental of state road.
al OF which our county gets her pro rata
Inc increase IN the number of pupils in the
schools is shown as follows: In 1888 thav
numbered $500, in 1889 5,S77. In the
mgn school they were, in 1855 2O4.
In 1889, 234. 1t does seem, in view of these
largely increased appropriations and the
general prevailing desire for better educa-
ton, there can be no reasonable objection
TO our board of education making a pro-
gresslve step, and abolish this system, which
Is prohibitory to so many and thereby
place our city and county, in this regard. on
an equal footing with the balance of the

A MORNING NEWS reporter dropped in at

heater attachment to the No. 3 engine. The
gauge on the engine registered twenty
pounds pressure, and the engineer
says that this pressure does not require
more than two and half scuttles of coal

not 50 much steam is carried, but as the
arrangement is new, the steam sometimes
runs up. 1t is not contemplated to carry
more than ten pounds.
