cHAsMs ON THE SUNS FACE.
Peculiar Characteristics of a Solar spu
that is Now Visible.

Peculiar characteristics of = Solar Spot
that is Now Visible
Astronomers are intensely interested Just
now in the great sun spot recently de
Yeloped on the eastern limb of the sun. BY
means of piece of smoked glass any body
may observe this great chasm on the suns
face, and 1t will well repay observation. a
warning must be given, however, against
the inexperienced use of an opera glass in
this connection, as the concentration of the
SUMS powerful rays is sufficient to crack
the glass or burn the eyes.
Sun spots viii probably be much talked
OF this year, as spot period Is now ap-
preaching, and during maximum the suns
surface is hardly ever free from them.
Sometimes as many as forty or fifty will be
visible at once, while at a minimum not
one will be seen for weeks. The spot period
is about eleven years. The last maximum
was in 1851, but it was year behind time.
1t has been established that there is d de-
cided connection between these violent dis
turbanceS on the sun and so-catled magnetic
storms on earth-such manifestations, for
example, as the gorgeous aurora borealis.
Sun spots are vast cavities on the photos
phere OF the sun, and it is as yet uncertain
whether they are caused by or ale the cause
of eruptions on that intensely heated
luminary. They are usually found in two
zones extending from deg. to 40 deg. of
latitude north and south of the SUMS
equator, and develop rapidly, lasting but
short time-from few days to month or
two. One spot was known to have lasted
for over fifteen months, but that was an
exception.
They are usually quite irregular in shape,
and are composed of two parts-namely,
the umbra, or black center, which is dark
because filled with cooler gases and va
pors which consequently absorb light; and
the frinsing gray penumbra, consisting of
long, feathery flaments reaching toward
the middle of the umbra, and usually very
lovely in form. The diameter of an umbra
varies from 500 to 1000 miles in small spot
to tremendous rents of $4,000 or 10000
miles in large one, into which our little
earth might be dropped many times with
out making an i'm r11,asSion on the panumbra

My FELLOW CITIZENS :

My FELLOW CITIZENS:
For many years past | have been
in the habit of visiting you in per
son during important campaigns
and addressing you upon the polit~
icai issues OF the time. Being on
this occasion prevented this privl-
lege by the condition of my health,
and earnestly believing that the
questions to be decided by our No
yember elections are of vital lmpor.
tance to the public welfare, | am
induced to contribute in this way
my share in the discussion of them.
l Iregard the situation as most
critical.
Since 1860 the legislation OF our
country has been almost exclusives
ly within the power Of one political
party. Naturally 1t has ceased to
be general in its benefcence and
has become local and artlal in the
extreme. The law-making power
has become the fearfully efficient
implement OF such classes, corpora
tions, cliques and combinations as
could by fair means or foul OBTAIN
control of 1T. 1t has been made to
subserve purely personal ends. In
divers ways the taxing power of
the government has been perverted
from public to private purposes;
money is levied thereby to enrich
manufacturers, to suppress rivalry
ID business, and in every concelva-
BILE way to help the favored few at
the expense of the many. The va
ried corruptiDg influences upon the
business world arising from this
legislation produce their natural et-
feet. The classes whose business
was thus favored flourish apace.
whilst the unfayored have expert
! enced In the midst of peace and
plenty all the losses and hardships
which are commonly felt only IN
times of public calamity; and the
extraordinary spectacle is presented
of a nation whose aggregate wealth
is rapidly and vastly increasing,
whilst the individual wealth of its
cb1et tollers and wealth-producers
is diminishing in proportion there
to.
From the Republican party, with
it's disregard of the limitations OF
the Constitution and it's natural
dependence FOB support upon the
money Of the people whom it had
enriched, all of this corrupt legis
lation has proceeded. Without II
there WAS nothing evil done thai
was done.
1t follows as an undeniable truth

HIS LETTER TO THE PEOPLE
OF NORTH CAROLINA,
ALI WILL READ 1T.

In response to the following let
ter from Mr.. F. NJ simmons, Senator
Vance issues the accompanying ad-
dress to the people of North Caro-
lima:
RALEIGH, N. U., August 10, '92
Hon. Z. B. Vance, Gomobroon, N. c.:
My DEAR SENATOR In common
with all the people of North Caro-
line, l greatly deplore your inability
to take part in the pending cam
paign. 1t is an inestimable loss to
the party and the people. for | need
not tell you the confidence and af-
fection which the people Of North
Carolina entertain for you would
secure for you from them a hearing
such as they would accord to but
few in the State.
1t occurs to me, while your health
will not permit you to meet the peo
pie face to face upon the stump,
letter from you, reviewing the whole
situation. and discussing the ques-
tions which are uppermost In the
minds of the people, especially the
causes of the agricultural prostrs-
tlon now existing, and the relief
which would be afforded through
the enactment of such tariff and
financial legislation as the Demo
cratic party propose, would be
carefully and considerably read by
all the people of North Carolina
and would do a great deal of good
at this time.
Such a letter, ] am persuaded,
would have immense weight with a
large number Of people who are
now honestly waverlng as to what
course to persue 10 the coming cleo
ton. Of course do not want to
overtax you, even to do this great
service to the party and the people,
| trDst you will not undertake it
unless your nealth is fully equal to
the task.
Sincerely joining with all the peo-
pie of North Carolina In their anx-
lety about your health, and in the
earnest hope that you may be speed
lily restored, | am, yours truly,

A southern Bully Who Met Death Instead Of
Inficting 1t.
A. W. Alexander was shot and killed BY his
brother-in-law, A. q. Jones, at the door Of the
latter's home in New Orleans Monday night.
Alexander was q native of Admission, Ala. Four
years ago he kept fancy goods store in Oxford.
Ala, and while there wooed and won Miss
Jones. daughter of Joseph A. Jones, a real
estate agent A few months after their marriage
Alexander left Oxford and with the Jones
family went to New Orleans. From that date
trouble commenced.
Alexander ill-treated his wife and finally de-
serted her, going to Washington state. He re-
east to Cincinnati, where he met o handsome
young woman, a member Of an influential New
York family. She became infatuated with him.
Together they left Cincinnati for Birmingham.
where he deserted her, leaving her almost
penniless. Driven to despair the woman COM
mitted suicide in one of the leading hotels Of
the city.
After leaving Cincinnati Alexander returned
to New Orleans and sought his wife, but was
refused admission to the house by her father,
with whom she was living. BY continual beg
ging and entreating he gained the fathers con-
sent. and once more was received in the house.
hold. He worked occasionally, but was mostly
dependent for his bed and board on the Jones
family. On several occasions during the past
two years he has threatened to kill his wife and
her connections. Last week he went upstairs
and attempted to get q pistol from an armory
but was prevented by his sister-in-law. He then
caught his wife and attempted to choke her.
Last Sunday night he threatened to cut her
throat with razor. Monday morning he re-
peated the threats. Fearing he would carry
the threats into execution the young wife told
her brother to postpone journey he was about
to make and remain near her. In the after
noon Paul Jones, aged eleven years, brother
of Mrs. Alexander was playing on the street.
Alexander walked past the lad, called him, and,
showing him q sword bayonet. said:
Il will be home tonight and kill the last one
Of you" The boy ran home and told his sister
what he had seen. That night Alexander called
at the house and on the door being opened by
his brother-in-law. A. II. Jones, a short CONVEX
sation ensued, and on Alexander making mo-
ton in the direction Of his hip pocket Jones
drew a revolver and shot him twice, death
being almost instantaneous
Jones was placed under arrest and the body
Of Alexander taken to the morgue. The sword
bayonet and a razor we're found underneath the
coat OF the dead man.

JEALOUS Gypsy QUEENS IN A DUEL

JEALOUS 6ifSY QUEENS IN a DUEL.
They Scratch, Bite and Pull Hair, While the
Band Eggs Them On.
A short. fierce quarrel, quickly followed by a
fight in which blows, face scratching and hair
pulling we're given and returned with compound
interest, broke the monotony Of . gypsy en-
csmpment on an unfrequented cross road near
Bennington, VT, last Thursday night.
The participants were rival "gipsy queens y
and every member Of the camp gathered
around them, formed ring aud saw them fight
a battle which, according to all accounts, was
plucky and savage.
While passing through Massachusetts about
two months ago the band adopted young
woman called Lady Lu from another tribe
near Holyoke.
She possessed q rough kind Of beauty, was
full Of coquettish ways and dressed in such &c
turesque fashion that she at once became a
favorite, especially among the men. More
over, she was successful in selling fancy baskets
and could please all young men who consulted
her on the subject Of love and marriage.
Lady LUIS popularity aroused the jealousy Of
the chiefs wife, the acknowledged queen Of the
band. She had keen eyes, iron-gray hair, q
Jealous temperament and had frequently threat
ened bodily harm to the newcomer.
Lady Lu and the chief set out Thursday after
noon on foot for Bennington to buy supplies
and did not return until after 8 O'Clock. Lady
Lu entered the camp singing, but stopped
abruptly In the middle Of a bar rs she saw an
enraged woman with an uplifted stick close upon
her.
Several angry questions were asked, but the
answers did not pacify the woman, for she made
a grab for the thin scarlet REFER jacket worn by
Lady Lu and tore it of.
A spirited fight followed. Blow after blow,
biting scratching and hair pulling we're con-
fusedly mingled. while ringing cheer went up
from the assembled gipsies
At the close Of the scrimmage it WAS found
that the older woman had been roughly ham
died. Nearly all her clothing had been stripped
from her and she had numerous bruises and
scratches.
Lady Lu, who had no mean idea Of her per-
sonal attractions, did not desire to have any
permanent scars on her face, and so went to
the village for the services of a physician.
Her face bleeding from slight wounds
and her clothing was torn into shreds but
beyond that she did not suffer material damage.
She declared she would fully conquer the
old woman if she died for it.
The next day the band, fearing arrest left for
parts unknown.
