REAL ESTATE AT AUCTION,

Advertising in "The STAR Makes Lively
Sales Even in the Heated Term.
Despite the excessive heated term and the
reported inactivity in real estate circles Messrs
Radcliffe, Darr d Co.. auctioneers, report that
their sales by auction have been unusually well
attended for this season, which in business cir
cles generally, apd real estate particularly, is
regarded one of the dullest.
While these gentlemen claim the credit of
making the sales through their extreme efforts
to secure purchasers, yet they freely admit
that without the aid of The Stars advertising
columns in which all their sales are advertised
they would have serious time to get the ncces-
sary competition at a public sale, which, they
say, when managed as they manage them is the
most advantageous method OF disposing of
recent sales by auction:

THE POLAR COMMISSION.
Action which Gen. Greedy win Urge Upea
the Board.


the Board.
From the New York Times
WASHINGTON. August n.-Seven years ago
there was . dramatic scene in the city of
Vienna The international polar commission.
which had been in session for some days, had
about concluded its work and q banquet was
being held. At the time Lieut.. A. W. Greedy,
U. 8. A., was in the polar regions, and it was
generally supposed that he had added one
more to the devoted band which had left its
bones whitening on the ice in the vain effort
to discover the pole. A toast was proposed to
the memory Of Greedy and his men. Every
member around the board arose. and, amid an
impressive silence, bumper was quaffed to
the memory Of the young American lieutenant
who had lost his life in the cause of science.
This scene is recalled by the fact that on
Thursday that same Lieut. Greely-but who is
now brigadier general and chief OF the signal
| service Of the army. will sail for Munich. Ba-
varia, to attend a meeting Of the international
polar commission, where he will have the pleas
ure OF meeting many of the men who seven
years before mourned him as dead and paid
honors to the services which he had rendered to
the world. Gen. Greedy has been ordered by
the War Department to attend this meeting,
which is the fourth and final session OF the COM
mission, and which completes his work in con-
nection with arctic exploration and scientific
investigation of the physics Of the polar
regions. At this meeting the commission will
consider the final scientific treatment Of the
volumes of physical observations published by
the governments which sent out the expedi-
tions of 1881 to 1888. No less than eleven ma
tons will be represented at Munich. Gen.
Greedy is the only representative from the
United States, having been unanimously elected
by the other members of the commission.
Gen. Greedy, in addition to urging on the
commission the general discussion Of arctic
meteorology, will present to the members
scheme of general treatment for the magnetic
observations and results Of the studies and in
vestigations Of Prof. Bigelow of the Nautical
Almanac Office of the Navy Department This
line Of treatment is original, and as it is in
dorsed by Prof. c. A. Schott of the coast
survey. the acknowledged authority in this
country on magnetics, it is believed that it will
be interesting to the scientific world when
fully developed

Apropos of the movement to obtain the To-

cratic convention. 1t is neutral ground, and
no candidates chance would be prejudiced BY

venflons. The great crowds that at

The same is true of the knights Templar con-
clave. Our hotels and boarding houses are
ample to accommodate as many as may come
and their rates. as far as my observation goes
while attending conventions held in other
cities, are more reasonable. Then our

guarantees fair treatment and full reports /
hope the next democratic convention will come
here, and with proper effort l believe it will.
IaE STAR shows commendable spirit of enter

should say that politics should not enter into
the matter, but the movement should be en-
tirely in the hands of our citizens"

Pursuit Of an Outlaw,

Fred. Earnest, who beat his brothers so badly
that they cannot recover and also knitted Bert
Cleaver in a row at the grangers picnic at
Johnston's Grove, Pa, near Mount Carmel, is
still at large, notwithstanding desperate effort
has been made to capture him. A number of
citizens have been searching the surrounding
hills for the assailant and not until yesterday
did they get any trace of him. While walking
along the hillside several miles from Mount
Carmel they espied Earnest concealed behind
a cluster of bushes and as soon as they set
upon him he drew a revolver and fired into the
crowd, seriously wounding three of their num-
Der, and during the excitement beat hasty re-
treat, since which time nothing can be learned
as to his whereabouts. The affair has created
the greatest CONSERVATION and the air is rife
with threats OF revenge.

A Brief Session of the School Board.

Last evening was the regular time for hold
ing meeting Of the school board. That was
the only reason for calling the members to-
gether and. as there was no business to be
transacted, the session was very brief. The
resignation of H. H. Burrough, teacher, was
accepted and the application Of J. N. Adams
for janitors position was placed on file. The
list Of names of teachers for the ensuing year,
printed in Saturdays STAR, which had been re-
ferred to the committee on teachers and jani-
tors, was not reported back, owing, as Mr..
Whelpley explained, to the absence from the
city OF the other members of the COMMITTEES.
The report will be made at the next meeting,
which will be held in September. On motion
o. Mr.. Cornish the name of Miss Goings, sewing
teacher, was replaced on the rolls. The board

Automatic Hot Water Fountains,

From the London News.
Automatic machines have not met with
the same success in Paris as in London One
reason, our correspondent says, is that in
Paris it is more doubtful whether one will
get any return for ones money, and another
reason is that the French government will
not grant Licenses for selling tobacco or
matches by these machines. In one instance.
however, our correspondent tells us. the
automatic machine has proved a distinct
success. In front Of the Paris School of Medi-
cine is a self-acting fountain, where pail Of
hot water may be had for half penny. There
are always a number Of women of the neiRhbor-
hood crowding round this novel kind Of Their
NAL spring, waiting to take their turns; and in
winter cabmen come here to fill their warming
pans. The municipal council has Just recog-
nized the utility of this system OF hot water dis
tribution by granting to its inventor a conces-
sion for fifteen years to set up eighty of these
hot water fountains in different parts of Paris.
