Miss Fleming. Astronomer.

The newest star discovered at Harvard
adds fresh laure.s to the reputation OF
Miss Fleming, the chief examiner OF that
observatory. In examining the 500 Pho
tographic plates of the stars which had
arrived from the station in Peru she
discovered a spectrum which was to-
tally unlike anything in that part of the
heavens. She laid 1t aside and exam
ned it the following morning. Careful
perusing showed that 1t was Il new star
that had not previously appeared in that
part OF the sky and was very faint.
Miss Fleming has been connected with
the observatory for fifteen years, and
has made her way from mechanical
work to her present responsible position.

THE CITY's HORSES.

The taxpayers Of tie city have been
not n little exercised over the heavy and
constantly Increasing cost OF the street
cleaning business. But so anxious are
the people to secure clean streets and SO
much have their hopes been disappointed
that 1t has been idle to protest against
the extravaganza of the appropriations.
The Evening World" has brought TO
light facts which may in some measure
account for the large expenditures Of the
Department in the past AMI the small
return the city has received.
When Commissioner Andrews took
Office he found the appropriations nearly
exhausted. and deficiencies existing. II
is now discovered that in nve months,
March to July inclusive. two hundred and
sixty horses were purchased for the use
OF the DEPARTMENT al n cost of slXty-five
thousand dollars. which could have been
bought by any othcl customer for thirty
six thousand dollars. thus plundering the
city In this one item of about thirty thou
sand dollars.
There does not seem to be any doubt
OF the fact that the firm OF which the
horses were purchased have offered the
same sort OF horses that were sold to the
city at two hundred and fifty dollars a
head to outside parties at from one hun
dred and twenty-five 10 one hundred and
forty-two dollars and half per head.
1t Is singular that at the moment this
seeming dishonesty is exposed white

ductor, is to give her up at once. and thank his

she evidently shows deserves to be left on the

the fact that among the conductors in New York

yourself, who feel proud OF their positions. and
Justly so. Stick to your until you can do
