Miss Agnes N. Cierke speaks encourae-
ingly Of the possibilities Of Important de
volopments In astronomy within the next
few years Astronomers hre better pre-
pared today for tho work Of observation;
they cannot only see better and farther.
but the record has been made automatic.
The personal equation Is In measure elm
mated. The telescope has been supplement
ed by espectroscope and the photographic
camera Inquiries are made telescopically,
and the march of planets or comets becomes
illustrations.
Miss Clerke doubts whether redectors
will be made much larger, and she thinks
the size Of the speculum has about reached
its practical limits. The almost distinctive
faculty Of rehectors, however, Is that Of
throwing rays OF all refrangibilities to a
focus together. They are naturally achro-
matte. Tho trouble is that the larger the
reflector the more difficult it is to get what
astronomical observers call perfect defini-
tions." Great reHectors from their size are
likely to become deformed. II mirror
bends, the object reflected becomes dis
torted.
A gigantic reflector is promised for the
year 1900 The mirror Of silvered glass is
to be 10 feet In diameter and will be placed
in a tube 14o feet long. With this immense
instrument the moon will be brought
within only few miles of the earth Celes-
tial photography has of late accomplished
marvellous results The chemical plate has
advantages over the human retina, because
it Is sensitive to rays which the eye does
not appreciate at all. 1t is even possible to
photograph objects so faint as to be alto
gether beyond the power of any telescope
to reveal, and we may thus eventually
learn whether blank space in the sky
truly represents the end of the stellar uni
verse in that direction or whether farther
and farther worlds roll and shine beyond.

under the act Of June q, 1860, will be
suspended or reduced, and that so per
cent. OF the claims made under the act
are now being rejected. on the ground
OF no disability"
SIMPLY A LIE.
This statement Is a malicious false
hood throughout, and designed and
Intended for no other purpose than to
alarm the pensioners of Ohio aud to
make them believe that the Demo-
cratic Administration intended to
take away their pensions or reject
their claims, and thus cause them to
vote the Republican ticket in Ohio
this fall.
No pensions have been orwill be sus-
pended except under the second section
of the act Of June "a, 1890, and it has
been ascertained that not to exceed 20
per cent. even of them would be drop
ped from the rolls; and Mr.. Phillips
had no warrant for the statement that
so per cent. of claims under the act Of
June 27, 1890, would be rejected. The
truth is, Mr.. Phillips simply loaned
himself and his business to the Repub-
lican Campaign Committee of the State
of Ohio, and has been attempting,
through his position as pension at
torney before the Interior Department,
to sIander and abuse his trust, and by
mendacious lying to bring the Pen
sion into disrepute before the pension
ers of Ohio; and, as will be seen from
the above, he has rightfully come to
grief.

The Twentieth Century,
From the Chicago Times.

When does the twentieth century
begin +? The Chicago Euening Journal
declares that it is only six years from
next January. But will the Journal
take thought moment? Six years
from next January will be January,
1900. Will the twentieth century then
begin? The first century commenced
with Ammo Domini 1. On Ammo Do
minin 100 did we complete that CEN
tury? It takes a full 100 years to make
century. In 1900 will not be the
nineteenth century. A year being
necessary to complete the whole tale
100, which is a century, will it not be
seven years before the beginning of
the twentieth century?
The suggestion is thrown out to the
Journal for playful consideration.
The question was asked an eastern
journal: Does the twentieth century
begin at 1901 a. m. Jan. |. 1900, or does
it begin the same time Jan. !, 1901?
and the answer given was this: "sup-
pose you had several hundred silver
dollars and wished to divide them into
piles Of $1OO each. Would you stop
counting when you had 500 in one pile
In order that your second pile might
begin with dollar number 100? Not a
bit. Your first 500 pile would not be
complete until the one hundredth dol
| lar was in 1t. and your second $l0O pile
would begin with dollar number lOl'
Isn't 1t the same way with the cen
tures?"
Ponder the suggestion Mr. Journal
Think 1t over, and the more you think
about it the more perhaps you Will DC
puzzled and the less inclined you Will
be perhaps dogmatically to assert thai
the twentieth century will begin siz
years hence.
| The Times will endeavor to help tht
cogitations of the Journal by submit
ting to 1t the following memoranda:

Farmers Are Not Fools.

During the last administration,
whenever the Democrats warned the
Republicans against the dangerous
consequences Of the extravagant and
selfish legislation of Republican Ex-
ecutlve they were met by Republican
journals with a contemptuous sneer,
and supercilIously referred to as
'calamity-howlers." Well, what was
the result? The people by an immense
majority. showed that they believed
the "calamity-howlerS" and, what Ia
more. the people were right. The
threatened calamity has come! And
now observe the sudden and dexterous
change Of front by the Republicans.
They are wild with alarm. They shrek
frautically for Democratic admins.
tration to stop the ravages of their
work by repeating law which they
passed and which iseausing SO much
havoc. Every little bank failure now
fills them with uncomfortable alarm.
They predict terrible crisis unless
something is done in hot haste. Why
this startling change from insane in
difference to insane impatience? And
who, pray, are now the calamity
howlers?n
Moreover, they pretend to believe
that lack of confidence In the admin
istration which the people have just
put into power causes all this trouble
in the business world. Indeed! Ihad
faint idea that it was lack of conf
dence in the last administration which
led the people to charge administra-
tions. Is it likely that the people lack
confidence Ia that for which they have
just declared by vast majority? But
the funniest thing of all is that the Re-
publicans are already picking up hope
that they will again be restored to
power at the next election for the very
novel reason that the Democrats are
too slow in repairing the damage which
the previous Republican administra-
ton wrought. Verify, majority of
the people may sometimes be fools,
but it yet remains to be seen whether a
majority of them are even idiots. Un-
less this is the case the Republicans
can hardly hope to make much capitol
out of the present financial troubles.
And, after all, l have no doubt that
the end will show President Cleve-
lands course to have been the wisest
under the circumstances.-7o,On Top.

Castoria is truly a marvellous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it, medical
journals recommend it and more than a mil
lion mothers are using it in place of pare
goric, Bateman's drops, so-called soothing
syrups and other narcotic and stupefying
remedies. Oastoria is the quickest thing to
regulate the stomach and bowels and give
healthy sleep, the world has ever seen. 1t is
pleasant to the taste and absolutely harm
less. 1t relieves constipation, quiets pain,
cures diarrhoea and wind collie, allays fever
ishness, destroys worms, and prevents con-
vulsions, soothes the child and gives it re-.
freshing and natural sleep. Castoria is the
children's panacea-the mothers friend.
Castoria is put mp in one-size bottles only.
1t is not sold in bulk. Don't allow any one
to sell you anything else on the plea or
promise that it is 'just as good" and will
"answer every purpose" See that you get

Jermima, once she had beau,
He didn't mind her name, you know,
Although II was 30 pr0sy.
She had catarrh, and had 1t so,
That he at last was forced to go
The odor was no posy.
If she had been sage in time, she
would have taken DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. An offensive breath Is most
distressing, not only to the person af-
flicted, IL the person has any pride, but
to those with whom he or she comes
In contact. 1t is delicate matter to
speak of, but it has parted not only
friends but lovers. Bad breath and ca
tarrh are inseperable. DIR. Sage's Ca

THAT PHILLIPS CIRCULAR.
A Political Scheme to Make Hun
dreds Believe Their Pensions
Were Stopped,

dreds Believe Their Pensions
Were Stopped,
The Phillips Circular sent out from
Washington, d. G., to every old SOL
dier, which Colonel w. A. Taylor,
Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, in a recent speech fully ex-
posed, has been used to mislead and
alarm many of those receiving pen
sions. Phillips, the Pension claim
agent, has been suspended from prac-
tice by the Secretary of the Interior,
and given thirty days notice to show
cause why he should not be disbarred
from practice In the Interior Depart
ment.
A news dispatch states. 1t appears
that Mr.. Phillips has formed an asso-
citation with Charles w. F. Dick, of
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, who Is Chair
man of the Republican State Commit
tee Of Ohio, whereby it is said the
Chairman undertakes to issue and cir
culate without expense to Mr.. Phillips,
and for political campaign purposes, a
circular Mr.. Phillips has prepared and
with which Dick is flooding the State
of Ohio, and the design of which is to
frighten the pensioners Of Ohio and
make them believe that their pensions
are In danger. Not satisfied with the
form of the circnlar, which the Pen
sion Bureau approved, Mr.. Phillips
saw fit to add the words "Fill out aud
return to Fl. ID. Phillips at once with
two five-cent stamps" The purpose
Of this addition was two-fold, as it
would seem. In the first place, 1t
would make the soldier think that the
matter was urgent; and, in second
place, it would net to Mr.. Phillips
| THE SUM OF TEN CENTS
For each reply, and as it is estimated
that he and the Republican Chirman
Of the Ohio Committee have taken
steps to circulate some 100000 of the
circulars, it will be seen providing
that all respond with 10 cents worth ol
stamps) that Mr.. Phillips and Mr.
Dick would net the snug sum of $40,.
900, and that too withoutany compen'
sating benefits to the pensioners OF
claimants for pension.
| The Interior Department is suspend
ing Mr.. Phillips from practice states
that this Is done for the reason that she
Is endeavoring by means Of misleading
and improper statements, designed tc
create apprehension in the minds o
pensioners and claimants for pension
TO obtain sum Of money from each t.
which he is in no manner entitled
also that he has abused the confdenc,
, of the pension Office by circulating
misleading and improper statement
! In his capacity as pension attorney
: and that he has violated Rule IS of tn,
} rules of practice"
The most brazen and misleading
part OF the circular with which
) PHILIPPE and Dick are flooding th
State Is the following which appear
