COXEY AND HIS ARMY,

Yesterdays telegraphic news
from Washington D. G. Announces
that the people, and especially the
official public, of the national capi-
tai are decidedly anxious over the
near approach Of the various de-
tachments of the commonweal ar
my to that city, The greater por
tion of Saturday was spent by the
police authorities of the city in per-
fecting plans for the reception and
treatment Of the "Nomads" on their
arrival
The statute books fairly bristle
with municipal ordinances, many of
which have not been enforced for
years, but all of the obsolete ones
will be resurrected for the benefit
of the visitors. There are so many
of them that the Coxeyites will be
obliged to walk very circumspectly
indeed to avoid giving offence.
While the authorities are not yet
certain that Coxey will encamp at
Brightwood, they are prepared to
enforce the law under which he will
be compelled to pay for licence if
he corrals his cohorts within the
enclosure and charges admission.
Unknown Smith" has an army
of thirty men which he says num-
bers seventy five and which will
camp at Chevy Chase if its pro-
CRANE is followed, hoping for re-
concilation with the main band.
Washington's Chief of Police,
Mai. Moore, has issued to the mem
bers of the force general order,
as follows, "Your numbers will be
increased temporarily and it is eX-
pected that members Of the aug
mented force will conduct them
selves with such discretion at all
times as will merit the expectation
of the community and reflect credit
upon the department.
'Pay special attention to the
protection of persons and property
within the confines Of your beat.
Extend to the stranger in the
city every courtesy
"The first principle to be remem-
bered is the prevention of disorder
and crime"

neighboring towns we're justified by
the then existing condition, but
now the complete isolation of those
sick, the segregation of those who
have been exposed and the general
vaccination offer much greater
protection. In my judgment the

are useless expenses and should be
dissolved have the the honor to

one. There may have been small
pox in Texarkana, and we are of
opinion that there has been, and
there is now small pox in the pest
house two miles from town, We do
not blame anyone for taking every
precaution that a prudent man
should take, but we ask our neigh
boring cities and towns to consider
for themselves whether it is just to
us to establish quarantine against
us under the circumstances, and es-
pecially against the white people of
our city when not a single white
person has had the disease and the
time has past as we believe for its
spreading.
We insist that in this statement
we have stated the facts in the case
that nothing is left out, covered up
or withheld; and we ask those of
people who are out of the city and
our friends everywhere to believe
this, and to pay no attention to SEN
sational reports and the malignant
statements of those who are trying
to injure us.
We further state that there nev-
has been a day and we are not ex-
pecting day when Texarkana is
not and will not be able to take
care of herself and those of her cit
izens who may be unable to care for
themselves.

CONDITIONS OF CHANCE.

Supposing a man to toss three
pennies in the air, what are the
chances of their comming down all
heads or tails2 That is a question
discussed in a recent number OF
Nature by Francis Cation of the
Royal Society, He upsets popu-
lar delusion regarding the laws of
chance. 1t is obvious that at least
two of the coins thrown in the air
must turn up alike, for when the
coins are on the ground there must
always be either two head or tails
showing, The question then is as
to the chance Of the third coin
turning up a head or tail. 1t is, OF
course, an even chance whether a
toird coin turns one side up or the
other
Is 1t, therefore, an even chance
that all three coins will be alike?
Mr.. Galton says the relative chances
of all three coins turning up alike
is 2 to 8, and he figures it out in
this way; There are two different
and equally probable ways in which
coin may turn up; there are four
WAYS in which two coins may turn
up, and there are eight ways in
which three coins may do 50.
In order to test the matter Mr..
Cation tossed three coins eight
times. Only twice did they come
up alike, while the third coin was
equally divided between heads and
tails. Mr.. Cation then made 100
throws of dice, with three dice in
each throw, the odd numbers count
ing as heads and the even numbers
as tails, The 12O throws were di-
vided into three groups Of 40 in each,
and the result Of all alike, 8, u, 8,
total %; as against not all alike, 81
29, 30, total 02. This seemed to
settle the matter and indicated
that the most probable expectation
in the case Of the dice was 80 to 80.

THE East End Electric Light com pany evidently does not place high valuation on it's franchise. At the out set it made fight worthy of a better cause to get it for nothing. At last it reluctantly agreed to furnish a few paltry incandescent lights free, but it's maneuvering indicated that it never in- tended to carry out the terms of the agreement and did so only when com- pelled under threat of revocation of the franchise. Next it presents itself with the singular and cheeky request that it's license be remtted on the ground that the company has been compelled to fulfill its contract against it's Nill. The council very properly seated itself heavily on ine request and remains seated. The East End con- pany may now be expected to come for ward with a demand fer & bounty based on the fact of its existence.

MARIE ANTOINETTE'S REFUGE.

Edgecomb, Me-, Was to Have Been the
 Home of the Exiled Princess.
 There is building in Edgecomb, an old square, white house, concerning which an interesting story is told, says the Lewiston Journal. This tra- dition IS that at the time of the French revolution Capt. Samuel Clough, the owner of the house, who sailed ship between Maine and France, was en- gagged to bring to this country no less valuable treasure than the unfortu- nate queen, Marie Antoinette, and that quantities of rich stuffs, furni- ture and silver were put aboard his ship for the use of the exile, whose l destination was to have been this port, it having been removed to the main land on raft sixty years ago. It is yet occupied by Capt. Coughs de- scendants.
 One circumstance which lends con- frmation to this story is that similar legend attaches to house in Dorches- ter, Mass, the famous Swan mansion, then owned by Col. Swan, who spent much of his time in Paris, but who set tied permanently in this country after the French revolution, his house being adorned in princely fashion. Now Capt Clough and Col. Swan had money dealings together in Paris, Capt. Clough in 1794 having had contract to purchase fifty thousand dollars worth of lumber for the colonel. What more likely than that Col. Swan, who was a warm friend of Lafayette, should have engaged the Maine cap- tain to aid him in plan of such great importance as the attempted rescue of the French queen, with which he is credited.

GIANTS AMONG THE PLANETS.
Mighty Jupiter, Whose Diameter Is Elev-
 en Times That of the Earth.

uSnCy CuplCer, whose D1ameGer IS EleV-
 en Times That of the Earth.
 Our most eminent astronomers do not pretend to give us exact reckonings on the great floating worlds outside of our own solar system, but within that monstrous aggregation everything has been reduced to certainty The king pin of this solar system is Jupiter, mighty Jupiter, the colossal giant of all the sun-kissed worlds" His diam eter is about ,0O0 of our miles, being about eleven times that of our own globe; the circumference 275, ,OOO miles at the equator, which would give the giant volume exceeding that of the earth by 1,2S4 times. Were it possible, says the St. Louis Republic, to bring the earth and Jupiter so close together that the distance separating them would be no greater than that which now separates the earth from the moon-about 10000 miles = what a wondrous sight would be in store for the residents of our little globe The world of Jupiter would appear to us to have diameter forty times larger than that of our usual mighty attend ant, and the surface of his disk would occupy space greater than that of ,60O full moons. And this giant of planets is removed from the sun by distance of 496, 100000 miles; has an orbit of more than 1000, 100000 miles in extent, and makes circuit of it's celestial track once every 4,332 days. Thus it will be seen that year on Jupiter is equal to eleven years ten months and seventeen days on our globe. The i'm mensity of the world of Jupiter and it's orbit may be approximately measured by this comparison: In order to com plete it's orbit in the time given above it must speed around the sun with a velocity of 100000 miles day, or lit tie more than eight miles per second.
