Governor Swineford and Mr..
Russell, of Marquett, are again in TIE
city, and are this time prepared to
talk business regarding Il daily paper.
Their proposition is to form a stock
company with capital of $4,000 Of
which amount they will take $4,000 if
the citizens will take the other $15, 900.
They propose to start it for business
an not for politics, and it will be just
as near neutral or independent in poll
ties as it is possible to be while it will
be of democratic sympathies. The
gentlemen are \ Mol. newspaper men
Of long experience, and if our people

tablished Mr.. SwinefOrd viii come here

Street Car Gossip.

We haven't said anything about our
proposed street cars since our--last
issue. But now we have something
good to tell you and we want to give
that also. Many times has the day
been set for the arrival of those cars
since last December, and now we have
1t again. 5. L. Norval, manager of
the company, has just returned from
the east where he has been looking
after those cars and things electrical
generally. He tells a West End re-
porter that he went to Marion, y J.,
where the cars now are having their
motors attached, and gazed upon them
for the first time, and that they are
very handsome and Will be credit to
our city. The cars are built of oak
and finished in cherry and are of the
regulation size and pattern as those
upon the streets of Boston and New
\ oTk. In many respects they are
better than the general run of street
cars Of the better systems in large
cities; and one feature is the appli-
ance for regulating the power. In
stead Of the unwieldy lever now in
common use the latest scheme Will be
employed, known as the piston break.
1t has many advantages over the old
style and not the least of these is the
greater safety assured TO the operator
under all circumstances. Mr.. Norval
states that the cars will positively be
shipped on the Goth Of the present
month and will arrive in the course of
ten days, when they will at once be
placed on the tracks and the motors
connected. Everything is ready for
their reception and no delays will
occur. After their arrival, if things
work smoothly, the trip to the court
house from Third street, four and one
half miles, or returning will be made
in twenty minutes; from Third street
to Twenty first viii occupy about nine
minutes.

The above death came to our people

has it been our lot to be called upon to
record sadder death than this Mrs.

months ago they got their beautiful

belief that there was nothing too

Will the Star of Bethlehem Re-
0nnnot1

A prediction has been made by
certain European scientists that the
star of Bethlehem will again become
visible to inhabitants of this globe
some time in August of the present
year. The prophecy is based upon
the fact that in 1852 the great DAN
ish astronomer. Tycho Brahe. oh.
served a brilliant Temporary star"
in the constellation Cassiopeia, and
that old annals contain statements
of similar appearances in the years
945 and 1864. From these allega-
tions the very questionable deduction
has been made that there is in exist
ence a variable star with n period of
over three hundred years, and that
this starts the phenomenon chronic
led in the gospels. Reckoning back
three periods of3l5years ench, the in
vestigators have come to the conclu-
sion that the "star in the east" was
identical with the star seen by Tycho
Brahe. While it cannot be directly
asserted that Tycho's star is not
possibly the stars of 945 and 1864,
such an identity would seem to be
quite improbable. 1t is indeed ex-
tremely difficult to reconcile the scrip
tural phenomenon with anything
but n miraculous agency, That the
star expected in August is the same
as the one seen in Bethlehem is more
than improbable, for in the latitude
of Palestine it must lave been seen
as star in the north and could new
cr have appeared to over hang the
Judean village.

He Wanted a Pass.

The multitudes who think they
ought not to pay railroad fare are
never at loss for grounds upon
which to base their applications for
passes. The passenger agents are
used to the most extraordinary petit
tious, some piteous. some audacious.
and now and then one that is down.
right humorous. Under this last
head comes IN application that was
made to Passenger Agent Ed Smith
of the Baltimore 4 Ohio the other
day.
Mr. Smith was busy in his office on
18th avenue, whcna tall and very lean
young man came in and asked to see
the passenger agent. Mr.. Smith 10.

Smith did not feel inclined to precip-
itate Il conflict: so he sank back into
his chair and the long-haircd poet be-
gan to read aloud his illusions. He
read two poems of considerable
length, and he might have read more,
but the second poem had Il refrain

A Woman of Sense.

A prominent Spanish statesman was
asked the other day by a reporter oi
the Pail Mall Gazette to what he at.
tributed the strangc fact that a wom-
an, and n foreigner, held the reins
of government successfully in her
hands in country so underminedas
Spain by political intrigue. 1.-The
marvel, ifmurvel there be-" was the
reply. can he explained in the sim
plest manner. The Queen maintains
her position because she is the exact
opposite of an intriguing and con-
spring woman. She tells no false
hoods. has nothing OF the hypocrite
about her, is as simple and modest
rs she is honest, and there is nobody
in Spain who is not convinced that
she tries to do her best for the coun-
try. The Queens popularity-es-
pecially with the women of Spain-is
u real power which gives her much of
the hold which she has over her sub
ject. Natural tact, intelligence and
kindness are also among the weapons
by which Queen Christine maintains
her position.

A Blow at Co-education,

The cause OF female education has
been strurk a cruel blow at Oxford.
Rules have just been put in force at
both Somervile and Lady Margaret
halls absolutely torbidding young
ladies TO TAXA tea in the rooms Of
any undergraduate who is not their
brother or known to them at home.
''known to them at home is. it is
true, an elastic phrase. but it does
not seem elastic enough forthe sweet
girl undergraduates. l hear that the
regulation has been denounced at
the debating society, and that a
strong feeling exists that on these
terms q girl might as we'll complete
her education in Lundy Island or
Heigoland as at Oxford. Much in
dignation also prevails in the univcr-
sity, except among men who have
the good fortune to know Lady Mar
garet or Somerville girls athome.-

(To BE CONTINUED,
The Original Astor,

j. w. Watson, in Frank Leslie 8
Popular Monthly, says: Well do re-
member, when a boy, hearing John
Jacob Aston, the original of the name,
say to my father by way OF advice:
''Buy dirt, it won't run away" On
this principle, which he instilcd into
his children. he bought real estate
butneversold. Heard him once say:
81 will never give IL lease, for, if it is
a good one, they will sell it; if bad
they will run away and leave it," 1

or. if, he did had full appreciation
otit., l onceheard him say to Philip,
Hone, who was mayor of the city Of
New York, and supposedly a rich
man: Philip, how much are you
WORTH" The answer was: ooh, about
$3.50, 900, Astor." Then the thirty
millionaire responded: "Idon't know
but that's as good as if you were q
rich man."
Aston was lifelong friend of Irv-
ing, Spaldins and Halleck, the latter
being for many years his secretary,
and who often related to me that he
told his employer that he did not
want to be rich, but that if he had IL
steady income of 5000 n year he
would bs satisfied. The old man, as
agrim joke, left the poet exactly that
sum per annum in his will, which it is
pretty well known that his son Viii
liam b., increased to comfortable
sum as long as Fitz-Green lived. AS
tor had Il great liking for old Billy
Reynolds chop house in Thames
street, back of Trinity Church, and
would go there almost daily to enjoy
his chop or steak and his pewter of
ale in company with Fitz-Green Hal
leck, Irving, or some literary man,
sometimes Poe-though lie did not
like Poe, and denounced him US quar-
relsome, which he was.

A Marvellous Clock,

lelphia is to be provided with a
clock which, for size alone, will be
one of the marvels ofthe world. The
center of the dial twenty-five feet in
liameter) will he 351 feet above the
street. 1t is calculated that it will
take year to place the clock ma.
ehinerv in the tower after the build.
ing shall have been completed. The
bell is to weigh between twenty thou.
sand and twenty-five thousand
pounds and will be second in weight
to tie great Montreal cathedral bell,
which weighs $4,000 pounds. and it
is calculated that its peal will be heard
even to the most distant parts OF
the city. Chimes similar to those OF
Westminster clock will be used, ring
ing at the quarter. half. three-quar-
ter, and hour. To distinguish the
time ut night the dial will be illumi-
mated by electricity, SO that the posi-
ton of the hands can be seen from
any point in the city. The minute
hand is to be twelve feet and the hour

VentiIating Cool Rooms.

The oject of ventilation is to keep
the cellar cool and dry, but this OBJ
lect often fails of being accomplished
by Il common mistake, and instead
the cellar is made warm and damp.
A cool place should never be ventila-
ted unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or at least as
cool as that. or very little warmer.
The warmer the air, the more moist
IRE it holds in suspension. Ncces-
Sarilv the cooler the air, the more the
moisture is condensed and precipita-
ted. When cool cellar is aired on
il warm day the entering air, being
motion, appears cool. but as it fills
the cellar the cooler air with which
it becomes mixed chills it, the moist
ure is condensed. and dew is deposit
ted on the cold walls. and may often
be seen running down them in
streams.
Then the cellar is damp. and soon
becomes moldy. To avoid this, the
windows should only be opened at
night. and late-the last thing before
retiring, There is no need to fear
that the night air is unhealthtul; it
is as pure as the air of midday, and
really drier. The cool air enters the
apartment during the night and cir
rulates through it. The windows
should be closed before sunrise in the
morning, and kept closed and shaded
durin" the day. If the air in the eel
lar is damp it may be thoroughly dri-
ID by placing in it a peck of fresh
lime in an open box. A peck of lime
will absorb about seven pounds or
more than three quarts of water, and
N this way cellar or milk-room
may soon be dried, even in the hot
test weather. -Colman's Rural
