REVELATION Of A
MIDNIGHT VISIT,
Amy Went to Christie
Warden's S Room when
She was Away.
She aoas Sleeping IN Christie's Bed
When the Viuoin Entered the
Room.-Her Strange
Experience.
By the United Press.

HANOVER, n. H., Aug. pa
Miss Jeannette Thomas, relative
of Professor Pattee, whose connec-
ton with the Almy case has often
been referred to, tells a story of
midnight visi- received from the
murderer on July Is, two days
before the murder of Christie War
den. She says that On tnat night
she occupied a room usually
slept in by Christie Warden.
About midnight she was aroused
by some one in her
room. Asking who was there she
was grappled by the throat. Her
| assailant at the same time said !:
''Keep still, l won't harm you."
The intruder then asked of the af-
frighted woman if that was the
room usually occupied by Christie,
and demanded to know where she
was. He was informed that Miss
Warden had left the house that af-
ternoon. He then asked the name
of the occupant of Christie's bed,
and was told. After receiving this
information he said: Il am
/ Christie's lover. Hex parents and
sister are opposed to my suit and l
can't see her at her home. Don't
mention this intrusion by me to her
or anybody else. If it became

Tae Peach Crop a Failure.
(By United Press.)

EAsroN, Md, Aug. 24.-The
peach business this year is a bigger
failure than last year, when there
was very little crop. The trouble
this year, is that there is too big a
crop and prices are away down.
Many growers have become dis
gusted with the business, and are
digging up their orchards and cart
ing away the trees. The local
canning houses are buying peaches
as low down as five cents a basket

boys who were playing with the
three Hamilton children Friday,
have confessed that they locked
the three little ones in the chest
where they were afterward found
dead. They were playing Jail.
After locking the chest they were
called to supper, and forgot all
about it. All the children were

VENUS VISIBLE In DAYLIGHT.
How the Planet May Re Found without .

Glass.
'The planet of Venus, now 30 conspicuous in
the morning twilight" said Prof J. H. Morri-
son to STAR reporter yesterday, "can be seen
BY the unaided eye during the day. The best
time to make the observation" continued Prof.
Morrison, sis when the planet is on or near the
meridian, about 906 am, at which time it at
tains its greatest altitude, namely, thirty-three
degrees or about one-third Of the angular dis
lance between the southern horizon and the
zenith. The planet will be easily found If the
observer is in the shade Of high building and
directs his vision to the point Just indicated.
An opera glass will assist in finding the planet
but once found no further aid is required. The
planet, which has now passed its point Of
greatest brilliancy, In receding from the earth
and passing behind the sun. It will, however,
remain morning star until September IS. As
seen through telescope it appears as a beauti-
ful crescent, like that Of the moon when three
or four days old, only far more beautiful. At
the present date about one-third only Of the
entire disc is visible. This will, however, grad
ually increase until the whole disc is presented
70 the earth, but at the same time the brilliancy
VAL gradually decrease owing to the increased
distance OF the planet from the earth. The
best telescope observations of both vensus and
Mercury are made in the day time. Determi-
nate marking observed on the surface Of the
planets on such times are the only data pos
their axes. In the case Of Mercury" he con-
Guided, lit has recently been found that the
planet performs only one revolution on its axis
while 1t makes q revolution around the sun,
just as our own moon turns only once on its
axis In q lunar month"

that there are so many persons who want
to be detectives" Last week, he said, an old
man came to his Office with bundle of papers
and wanted to be enlisted in the service.
"When asked him about his former work, ~
said the chief, ''he told me that he had been
watching graveyard, but as l had no dead
men for him to watch told him I could not
give him employment. But he did not intend
to be turned down in that way, and then went
on to tell me Of his other qualities, and it was
with considerable difficulty that got rid of him.
