He Dropped It Out Of Car Window While
Looking at His Girls Picture.
Myer F. Herman ia New York dry goods
drummer. About three weeks ago he was q
passenger on Big Four train, with q through
ticket to Texas and an assortment of big trunks.
He had his ticket in his pocket book, together
with his las. girls picture and $50 in currency.
While humming along at q rate Of forty-five
miles an hour Herman was seized with q de-
sire to gaze upon the pretty face, SO he opened
the book, took out the picture and laid the
purse on the window sill When he looked for
the pocket book it was gone. He had just 81. rs
in silver in his poke. ard was over 1000 miles
from his destination.
When the train pulled in the Union depot at
St. Louis Herman was in quandary. There
was no time to telegraph for money and he had
no acquaintance to help him out. He pawned
his watch for enough money to supply him with
sleeping car accommodations and meals and
left for Texas. Yesterday morning Herman
was passenger on the Iron Mountain train,
returning home. He inquired for the Big Four
agent and exhibited letter informing him that
his pocket book with contents intact had been
found The manner in which Herman got his
pocket book back is quite remarkable.
Immediately after the loss was reported q
search was made for the missing property by
Big Four section hands, but without success
A few days later a gentleman walking on the
track dropped his knife. which rolled down the
embankment into,a hollow between two good
sized stones In inserting his hand to recover
his penknlfe he picked up a pocket book that
lay there. He was a man of means and honest,
and turned over the property to the agents of
the road. And yesterday Herman got his
money and ticket.

AT THE LICK OBSERVATORY.
Startling Suggestions ~ to What Pref
Holden May Discover.

startling Suggestions to What Prof.
Holden May Discover.
Remarkable discoveries have been made at
the Lick observatory. Prof. Holden, the
director, has secured through the big telescope
better photographs Of the moon than have been
taken anywhere else, and the work of photo
graphing goes on every hour when the satellite
is visible. By studying these photographs
with magnifying glass and comparing them
any changes taking place on the surface of the
moon may be discovered.
The astronomers on Mount Hamilton have
discovered some things that nobody else ever
saw, but they have not determined whether
small to have been seen through less power
full telescope. For example, upon the top Of
one OF the mountains of the moon the photo
graph shows luminous white spot that looks
like snow. If that is snow. and if il was not
there before, the presence of an atmosphere is
indicated 1t has been believed that the moon
has no atmosphere, and therefore is uninhab-
liable; but if it should be demonstrated that
snow falls upon the surface of the satellite, the
accepted theory would be upset, and astron-
omers would begin to study the moon with new
and greater interest.
Objects upon the moon are detected BY
their shadows, and projection or eminence
fifty feet high casts a shadow large enough to
be seen through the Lick telescope If Prof.
Holden, studying his series of photographs,
should discover some day q new shadow where
none had been cast before when the moon was
in the same position and under the same light,
he would know that something had been erected
upon the surface, either part Of the crust up
heaved by some internal movement, or q build
ing put up by living creatures.
The moon appears to be . dead desolate
waste of played-out volcanoes and cooled-off
lava beds, without atmosphere, and, like Ari-

THE REV. MIR. DAWSON GUILTY.
Convicted by . Church Court of Deed
Which He Said His Son Committed.

Convicted by q Church Court Of Deeds
Which He Said His Son Committed.
The Rev. Giles K. Dawson, ex-pastor Of the
Twentieth Street NJ. Z. Church South Of Hunt
ington, W. Va, who has been under suspension
for some time, was tried by committee Of that
church Thursday night at Huntington. The
trial was held with closed doors.
There were many charges brought against
the preacher, who is one-armed man. He is
charged with having hbeled young woman
named Root of Before. Ohio, several years ago
while minister in a church near that place.
He Is also charged with breaking up church
at Gallipolis, Ohio, and with misusing and ap-
propriating funds belonging to that church,
and with other conduct unbecoming a min ter
OF the Gospel. Letters from Indiana charge
him with all sorts Of actions not COMFORTING
with minister's conduct He is also charged
with having detrauded creditors generally.
Another charge is that Dawson had his own
son arrested by government officers and Jailed
for opening letters, which he, Dawson, alleged
were addressed to him.
Notwithstanding the fact that Dawson made
hard fight the committee brought In ver-
dict OF guilty. Dawson claims that his is a case
OF mistaken Identity. claiming that tine man
who did commit all these outrages for they
are not denied as facts) WAS another man of the
Same name-another G. X. Dawson. who was
son OF the Rev. u. T.. and who was convicted
OF forgery and imprisoned several years ago
from West Virginia. He gave notice of an APP
peal to the general conference Of the NJ. L.
Church South. which will meet in Parkersburg
on September I6. He expressed q confidence
that on full and complete hearing the general
conference will clear him and reinstate him in
the ministry. The trial will attract a grea,
deal of attention, as Dawson 8 case has become
notorious.

Commodore Dickerson Describes the Beau.
tiful Meyer.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A sun-burned but jolly party of tourists ar
rived at the Palmer House yesterday. They
were Commodore John J. Dickerson of the
New York Yacht Club, his wife and two chill
dren, Miss G. Seeley and W. H. H. Chap
man. The travellers are returning east after q
two months trip to Alaska and Yellowstone
Park.
II have travelled from the Hawaiian Islands
to Egypt. but never beheld more beautiful
sight than the Meyer glacier two miles north Of
Sitka," said the commodore, while at the
Palm er last evening. 'The glacier is one mile
wide and over 200 feet high, and it throws out
the most magnificent colors. l have seen hun
dreds of glaciers, but none like the Meyer.
Generally The monster hills Of ice are dirty
and do not contain q delicate tint. Not so with
the huge mass in Alaska 1t il as clear rs cakes
Of manufactured ice, and contains the most
gorgeous colors. At the base the color is q
beautiful sapphire blue and at the top . snow
white. 1t was a rough trip to get there, but !
do not have any regrets for the hardships was
compelled to undergo.
1.-The Meyer glacier keeps moving all the
time at the rate of seventy-five feet q day. II
moves out into the bay where the water Is 200
feet deep, and chunks of ice rs large O. the
Palmer House frequently break of and float
away. Sometimes Q chunk three times q large
as the hotel will break away from the glacier,
and the sound that is made when the crack in
the ice takes place is like the report Of thou.
sand cannons fred sim ultaneously.
THE reason the glacier keeps moving out
into the bay and chunks constantly break away
Is because Of the enormous pressure behind the
mass The ice that constantly keeps accumu.
lating behind the glacier, which ID situated in 9
kind Of ravine mile wide. weighs millions ID
tong and room must be made for it."

settlers Inclined to Attribute II 10 the Gov
ernment's Balloons.
The government rainmakers discharged two
balloons at 2 p. m. on Thursday near Midland,
Tex. At p. m. a good rain fell, the clouds
gathering from the north and west. Some claim
that the explosion and the rain were respect
lively cause and effect. 1t rained on Tuesday
last from the same general direction, and on
Wednesday there we're clouds before the rain.
Many citizens claim that according to the
ordinary course Of nature cumulous clouds and
perhaps rain may be expected each evening.
The circumstance of Thursday seemed to favor
the experimenters, yet nothing has been
proved. The elaborate program at first mapped
out by the scientists Of the party seems TO have
grown impracticable. because no allowance
was made for adverse contingencies. There rs
a large quantity Of explosive material yet to be
consumed. The country is fearfully dry, except
in spots
A heavy rain fell in the vicinity of Van Horn,
Tex. Thursday evening, extending from
Brancho Station to Sierra Blanda- The rain
was one OF the heaviest to cover such q large
territory that has been known to have fallen in
these parts for years, and the people are in
clined to attribute its copiousness to the scien-
tiic experiments OF the party near Midland. A
great deal Of water is now on the ground, and
ranchmen say it will insure good range for
cattle for many months.

A Lumber Inspector Not Allowed to EN-
ploy Assistants.

ploy Assistants.
Some days ago Messrs. E. Champlin and E.
L. Harbaugh. two of the lumber inspectors,
complained to the Commissioners that Mr.. I.
R. Riley, one of the lumber inspectors, en-
ployed an assistant to attend to his duties.
Mr.. Riley when asked to explain wrote that
he had an assistant, practical and experienced
lumber man, to mark lumber for him, but this
assistant did it under his personal supervision
and inspection. There are some instances"
he said, under pressure of work
to be done when my assistant has
marked and tailed lumber, using his best judy
ment while working under instructions from
me. At the same time was engaged on the
same kind of lumber and his inspection was
really my own. because / was Responsible for
it, Whenever this has occurred it has been
at the request of some lumber dealer in order
that the inspection Of cargoes and cars might
be hurried along, and such inspections
have always proven satisfactory"
Mr.. S. 7. Thomas. assistant attorney for the
District, today gave opinion in the case. He
concludes that while a lumber inspector
may employ an assistant. the law requires
that the inspection shall be under the
inspectors personal supervision. other
wise all that an energetic inspector
would have to do would be to employ sew
vent other inspectors, who have equal rights,
from getting anything to do, which
would be an abuse of the Office. A lum-
Der inspector has not the right to adopt
the work of assistant not done in his pres
ence and il makes no difference that there is
pressure of work and that some lumber
dealer requests it in order to expedite
the inspection of large quantities of lumber.
In such case, if one inspector cannot attend
to the business himself personally. the dealer
should call in some other inspector. 1t is not
the object of the law that one man by employ
ing O number of assistants should get all the
business into his own hands. All the inspectors
should have q chance"
