OF those charges. is in this city engaged in re-

ious services and revival meetings all over the
city. He is living up town under an assumed
name. but has gone by his own name Of De
Cobain at all religious meetings and in gem
eral intercourse with people.
De Cobain was a very prominent man In Ire
land and highly honored until the beginning
OF last year. when the charges were brought
against him. He was eloquent and able. and
was closely associated in political matters
with the most eminent members OF the Brit
ish Parliament. When the charges OF i'm
morality were brought against him he fled to
Spain. The acts charged were the more re-

tanned. After the group had finished their
search. at 2::}O o'clock. Prof. Payne said:
Il think we are the only ones who were able
to see the moons tonight. and that Is as ane
quito 80 long. Phobos looks redder. while
Dcrmos looks less red. We can hardly tell. It
is SO far: Just how far these moons circuit
ing these distances is by focusing the light.
We do not know that II takes them about six
hours and thirteen hours each to make daily
revolution and that Phobos is six miles and
Dermos is but twelve in diameter"
Prof Payne said last night that there was no
