A NUISANCE 10 III ABATED.

In tho day time they bite at the
heads u horses, causing runaways or at

who arr taking buggy ride. After
dark they start up from unexpected
places aud bark nj pedestrians, aud In
many places make night hldcous aud
sleep impossible by their discordant
howliugs.

Az INCONSISTENT RULING.


THE Chief Justice Of Arlzona, II the
DISPATCHES received are correct, has
made singular ruling. Perhaps
when the full account Of the matter be-
fore him is published, II will explain
the reasons for his opinion. He de-
ciles that the laws Of Congress In rcla.
ton 10 polygamy and unlawful cohab-
itailon, relate TO all the Territories and
places over which the United States
have Jurisdiction, except tho District
Of Columbia.
The Edmunds act Of 1889 states dis
tinctly that it, provisions IN reference
TO the two oficnscs named are for "a
Territory or other place over which
the United States have exclusive
jurisdiction" The Edmunds. Tucker
act Of 1857 Is declared by it, title 10 be
m amendment to the act Of 1862,
which nlao relates to ga Territory Of
the United States or other place over
which tho United States have cxclus.
i've Jurisdiction" Parts Of each Of
these statutes relate specially 10 Utah.
But In every section Of this kind the
Territory Of Utah is specifically men.
toned.
n tho clauses in the Edmunds-
Tucker act not specially applicable to
Utah, DO not include the District Of
Columbia, then they do not include
the Territory Of Arizona. II there Il
a part Of this country over which the
United States have exclusive jurisdic.
ton, without doubt and beyond con.
truvcrpy, Il Is tho District " Colum.
bla. The Constitution Of the United
States settles this. And while
the "cxclusivc Jurisdiction" aud
absolute sovereignty" Of tho United
States over the Territories have 10 DO
bVerrod from other provisions In that
instrument, Section Eight In express
terms confcrs that authority upon the
Congress over tho district we have
named.
Therefore " tho laws passed upon ny
the Arizona Chief Justice apply to any
other place than Utah, they take In
the District Of Columbia. such parts
Of them ~ do not relate 70 that district

unless they are regularly deposited by
the customers in the hanas of an at

great care is exercised is so large that
the proprietors of the restaurants feel
justified in paying q salary to q man
whose sole duty 1t is to look after over
coats. The rush of business is SO strong
downtown that men lose their ordinary
keen balance and rush through their
meals absently. They are intent upon
some knotty problem OF business, and
nre in hurry to finish their meal and
get back to work. They bolt their food
and pull on any coat that happens to

MIRA, THE WONDERFUL.
Sotsathing About Her and Other Chsnge-
.... able Stars.

N~~-r~s~~NAAS8
able Stars.
In the Gospel according to St. Matthew
we are told that the birth of Jesus at
Bethlehem was heralded by the appear
.ance of strange star in the sky. Ger
tainiwise men of the East seem first,to
have noticed the star, and, being i'm
pressed with the belief that it was
Divine omen, they hurried to Jerusalem
to make inquiry of the reigning King.
1t is further related that, when the wise
men journeyed on toward Bethlehem,
from Jerusalem, ''the star which they
saw III the East went before them, till
1t came and stood over where the young
child was"
This mysterious stellar appearance
has been a fruitful subject of discussion
between the faithful believers in the
Scriptures on one hand and the material
believers in astronomical facts Oh the
other hand, says a writer in the Phila-
delphia Times. Astronomers are forced
to admit, however, that strange stars
have appeared in the heavens and then
disappeared again as mysteriously as
they came. Other stars. we'll known to
astronomers, have regular periods of
showing themselves to the naked eye,
though they generally remain visible
through the telescope as very faint
stars after the unaided eye fails to see
them.
There are hundreds of these so-called
variable stars. One of the most remark
able was first noticed about three hun
dred years ago. 1t is Mira, the Wonder
full, and is in the constellation Cetns. 1t
appears at intervals of little less than
a year. When at its greatest bright
ness 1T resembles star of the second
magnitude. 1t thus continues about
two weeks. then it's krilliancy gradually
decreases for about three months, when
it becomes entirely invisible. After a
disappearance of about five months it
again family appears, and begins to
brighten again.
Perhaps the most wonderful of all the
strange stars, of which we have accu-
rate knowledge, was that of 1879. 1t
suddenly appeared as the brightest star
in the armament, outshining even Jupi-
ter and Venus, and for time was visi-
bic at midday. This amazing visitant
remained seventeen months. It's color
was successfully white, yellow, red and
white again, and it's position in the
1HON"' w N0 LllS GlIlG
it remained visible. This star was sllp-
posed by some astronomers to have
regular periods of appearing, at in
tcrvals OF about three hundred years,
but the supposition has not been gener-
ally accepted. ..... .. ....... .....
What causes these seeming eccentric
ifics of stars? The vast multitude of
stars well known to astronomers are as
stable in their positions and MS IN
changeable in their appearances as are
the distant planets of the solar system
Are we to infer, then, thGt the variable
or temporary stars are wayward men,
hers OF the stellar fuInily--blaclS sheep
in n well-bchaved flock? Several hy-
pothoses have been advanced to ac-
count for the strange freaks, but none
thus fur seems entirely satisfactory.
