BRILLIANT JUPITER AND VENUS.
A RARE PHENOMENON To BE SEEN IN THE
HEAVENS

HEANEN>.
Two of the most brilliant stars that grace the SKY
will appear before the public in few days In their
beautiful illusion entitled he Double Planet For sew
era weeks Jupiter and Venus have been gradually ap
preaching each other, and at eight minutes after
o'clock on saturday morning they will seem a.
blended into one. Unfortunately for the people oi
New York the conjunction Will take place While ths
planets are below the horizon, and when next seen
Jupiter and Venus will be many minutes Oh aro
apart. The phenomenon can easily be zen oS oo-

That Carlyle w. Harris would be convicted
IVES foregone conclusion in the mind of almost
every one who has followed the testimony close
ly. An exceedingly strong case was presented
by the prosecution. and the attempt to break the
closely forged chain OF damning evidence was
feeble. The prisoners lawyers apparently real
lied the weakness of their cause and could only
seek to confuse the minds of the jury. Really
the sole question open for consideration when
the defence rested was whether the verdict
should declare Harris guilty of murder in the
first or the second degree. The jury deib@ated
a little over an hour before deciding that he
was guilty as charged in the Indictment. For

the letter containing the true Duchess County

guilty Of a violation of the Revised Statutes Of
