Professor Virgins Locates 1t at Nine
O'Clock in the Western Horizon.
OTTAWA, May 14th.-Clergymen and
scientists have for some time been looking
for the temperance of the so-called Star
OF Bethlehem. Prophet Virgins, speaking
on the subject to-day, said
Tonight at o'clock, if clear look at
the North Star. The constellation COM
monty called the Dipper will be over your
head. Now draw a line through the mid
die of the Dipper, through the North Star
and SO on down to the horizon; near the
horizon this line will pass through the
chair of Cassiopea, five stars in the form of
letter W. Within a few inches, appar-
emily. of the big star at the right and upper
part of the w appears the so.called Star of
Bethlehem. Tycho Brache saw it in 1872.
when it was larger than Jupiter and was
visible at noon. Its magnitude, however.
gradually decreased, and in two weeks it
disappeared"
"Yon believe this, then, to be the Star of
Bethlehem"
No. 1t was accepted by the ignorant of
the Middle Ages, but no scientists or ordi-
nary thinker so regards it now"

THERE is not any too much time in
which to lay the lines for proper represen-
tation of this State at the Worlds Fair in
1898. The suggestion of the RECORD
UNION that each county should organize
an effort to have its locality represented
In the State exhibit, has been adopted in
several localities, and now the Governor
has addressed letter to the official heads
of the cities and counties advising them to
promote local organizations for the pur-
poses indicated. A good method of pro-
cedure would be the erection of Worlds
Fair Clubs In these there can be that
free discussion and consultation that is not
SO easily had in official bodies, and they
are therefore preferable for the earlier con-
sideration of the question of ways and
means, and the discussion of the methods
of representing the county at the fair
Let Sacramento county act promptly in
this matter and organize Fair Club, that
there may be that free, deliberate and care
full discussion of the matter that is essential
to proper action. l. is important, too, that
the Capital City should be foremost in
such good work, and by her example
stimulate others to similar action.

The Musicians Unions at the East are
moving actively and resolutely to exclude
from the country, as contract laborers, the
foreign musicians imported to fill places in
bands and orchestras. But there appears
70 be no union to protest against the i'm
portation of English ballet dancers. Ii
the one is to be kept out why not the
other? The principal of the law if in
voked will make no distinction between
the two classes of contract laborers.
"Front rows" are prohibited from giving
an opinion upon this question.

The polygamous Mormon elders who
go into the South and seek to wean away
young women from their homes, under the
guise of religion, to replenish the harems
of Utah are entitled to little or no SYM
pathy when the indignant people seize
and fog them and drive them before gum
shots into the swamps to perish. That is
Just what happened to a couple of the
plural-wife preachers in Louisiana the
other day. But when this is said it is not
meant to be taken as exhaustive of the
cruelty and inhumanity of the people who
administered the punishment, and who
tied up the women and compelled them to
fog each other for having listened to the
preaching of the elders. Mountaineering
at any time, under any conditions, is
shameful, outrageous and inexcusable.
The brutes who logged the young women,
though they were upheld by the brothers
and the parents of the poor creatures,
should themselves be triced up and given
a taste of the lash. The civilization that
gives birth to men who can be capable of
such brutality to young women, or any
women, is un-American and not represent
alive of the people of the United States.
1t is off of piece with the, unmanliness
that triced up the unfortunate women
prisoners in Siberia recently and logged
them to death because they refused to
comply with the unwarranted demands of
their brutal masters. The people of Lou
isiana should not sleep until the rascals
who logged their own sisters are driven
from the State. If they are permitted to 60
UNPUBLISHED, the whole people of Louisiana
must be esteemed as in sympathy with
such proceedings, and to approve of
woman-whipping as a means of restraint
under the appeals of religious fanatics.
1t is not, however, surprising in State
where it is practically no crime to
fog niger" or even to shoot him down
on the slight provocation of offering to
vote, that men can be so brutalized as to
fog their own sisters.

PROCESS VERSUS WOOD ENGRAVING.

Il is said that the mechanical methods
OF rhetorical reproduction have 50 multi
piled. and have come into such general
use, that the art of engraving on wood is
in great danger of being wholly sup
PLANTED. The encroachments of the '.pro-
cessn methods have induced the managers
of the Cooper Union in New York to take
up the question of the abolition OF the
classes in wood engraving.
But while it is probably true that wood
engraving as an industrial vocation will
he crowded out, as an artist the wood en-
orayer is not to disappear. lie may cease

WILL the iconoclasts leave us nothing

Dangerous Icebergs.

SuEbEC, May l4tu.-Ine Allan line
steamer Partisan, which arrived here yes-
terday from Liverpool, narrowly escaped
disaster off the Banks of Newfoundland
A fog prevailed, and the steamer was pro-
ceedipg cautiously. The look -out sighted
huge iceberg forty yards ahead. The en-
gines were reversed, but the steamer ran
on the iceberg to distance of twelve feet.
For time the ship shivered from the
shock, and great excitement prevailed on
board. She lay on her broadside full
minute, and the Captain ordered all hands
on deck and the crew to stand by the boats.
The vessel, however, soon settled back into
clear water, uniDjured.
Wholesale Frauds.
QUEBEC, May 14th.-In connection with
the charges of wholesale corruption of
Government officials by contractors to Sc.
cure favorable awards, the statement is now
made that Lsrkin, Connolly & Co. paid
$4,000 to secure the contract for the con-
struction OF the granite dock at Esquimalt,
+. Z. Robert McGreevy and his brother,
Thomas McGreevy, NJ. P, are said to have
received $50, 600, while Ottawa parties got
the other 100000. o. E. Murphy, who
turns inf0rmer, produces documents to
support bis statement, among which are
letters from Connolly offering $50 900 for
$3.50, 900 contract.
Colossus of Rhodes.
PARIS, May 14th.-Messrs Bartholdi and
Eitfel, after careful calculation have decided
that the celebrated wonder of the world,
the Colossus Of Rhodes, as described by
ancient historians, could not possibly have
existed for technical reasons Eiffel worked
the problem out thoroughly with Bartholdi,
and proves as conclusively as modern
science can 60 that the legend of the Colos.
sus Is as mythical as those of Hercules or
any other OF the sun gods of old.
Bismarck's Retirement.
LONDON, May 14th.-The Vienna CORE.
spondent of the Times says the removal of
Bismarck has induced the Car to reverse
his policy of an alliance with France and
revert to German alliance. The K-asnoe
meeting will probably result in compact
that will altogether change the grouping of
the European powers.
