Judge Cuttings day, and that excellent

One Hundred Million of Stars.

Let us sec what richness of stellar dis
tribution is implied by this number OF
100, 900, 900 of visible stars. 1t may be
easily shown that the area Of the whole
sky in both hemispheres is 1895 square
degrees. This gives 2, 424 stars to the
square degree The moons apparent di-
ameter being slightly over half a degree
81 minutes seconds-the area of its disk
is about fifth of square degree The
area of the whole star sphere is conse-
quently about 200, 600 times the area of
the full moon. A total of 100 900, 600 of
stars gives, therefore, 500 stars to each space
of sky equal in area to the full moon.
This seems large number, but stars
scattered even as thickly as this would ap
pear at a considerable distance apart when
viewed with telescope of high power.
As the area of the moons disk contains
about 760 square minutes of arc, there
would not be an average of even one star
to each square minute. A pair of stars
half minute or 80 seconds apart would
form very wide double star, and with
stars placed at even this distance the
moons disk would cover about 3, 600, OF
six times the actual number visible in tho
largest telescopes. -Gentleman's Maya

Costly Wines.

At sale in 1853 of tho effects OF the de.
ceased Duchess do Raguso the late Baron
Rothschild paid it's weight in gold for A
bottles of Madeira. This wine, it appears,
was fished up in 1914 from a ship wrecked
at the mouth of the Scheldt in 1878,
where it had lain during that interval
Louis XVIII bought it at that time, and
part of it was presented to the French con-
sui, and thus came into the hands Of the
Due dc Raguse. The weight of n bottle Of
wine, including bottle, is about two
pounds avoirdupois, so that at this calcu-
lation each bottle would have cost about
S570. Prince Worouzo1, it is said, sells
his Tokay, 220 years old, for $i5 bottle
In the famous cellars of the Hotel de
Vile, Bremen, thore are a dozen cases of
holy wine which have been preserved for
ESQ years. This calculation has been made
in regard TO it: If tho cost of maintain
ing the cellar, payment of rent, interest
upon the original value of the vino and
other proper incidental charges are con-
sidered, a bottle of this choice liquor has
cost So, COO 600, each glassful $272, $50,

GEN. JOHN MCNULTA.

Gen John McNulta, whose recent sue
cessful operations in connection with the
whiskey trust have lately brought him
into prominence in Chicago, has for more
than thirty years been a conspicuous fig
ure in the history of the state Of Illinois.
He was born of ScotchIris parentage in
New York City in 1887. When but fifteen
years old he ran away from home and re
turned only after years had passed and he
had established himself in life In 1856
he settled in Bloomington, ILL.,, and when
the war broke out enlisted and served I'M
til Aug 9, 1865, reaching the rank of
colonel. He is a lawyer and financier
of great ability as he has demonstrated by
various operations in railroad affairs. He
is member of the Presbyterian church
of the G. A. r., the Loyal Legion and
the Illinois Bar Association. His wife to
whom he was married in 1862, was for
merly Miss Laura Pelton.

bourne. Thursday, from the duties of dep
uty secretary of State, takes from active
workthc oldest official in continuous length
of service, at the capital. Few men in Maine
enjoy SO extensive an acquaintance and
few number a larger circle OF frlenas'
Mr.. Chadbourne was born in the town OF
Dixmont, and was, in his carly life,
farmer and school teacher. He represented
his native town in the Legislature OF
1888. In 1s59-6O-61-62 he was second
assistant messenger of the House OF Rep
resentatiyes His integrity of character,
and pleasing address made friends OF all
who came in contact with him, and, in
1864. he was elected assistant clerk OF the
House. He occupied this position during
the sessions of 1S64-5-6 and 7. In 1868
he was promoted to the clerkship. 1t is
conceded that no more efficient man ever
served in this position. He was reelected
in 1S69-7O-1- 2-3-4 and 5. In 1876,

by large vote. He held this responsible
office during the years 1s76-7-s and 1880.
Since 1881 he has been deputy secretary
of State.
There have been few men in public life
in this State who have combined, in
a greater degree, the clements of personal
strength and popularity. He is not only a
man of unimpeachable character, but also
one of positive convictions and the cour-
age of them. OF quick, warm sympathies
he has always been devoted and loyal to
this friends and generous to fault. In
his whole official career has been squarely
and outspokenly upon one side or the
other of every public question that has
presented ITSELF No more obliging or
courteous official has ever served the State.
He will carry with him into private life
the sincere respect and esteem of all who
knew him, and the cordial good wishes of
an unusually large circle of friends in all
parts of the State.

menacing.
It was the knowledge of his character
and tendencies that gave to Mr.. Gresham's
ardent protest the element OF surprise that
electrified the country. What would the
president say when he returned5 What
did he say? Obviously he checked the
secretary's enthusiasm. While he was
careful not to express his dissatisfaction
openly he has made it understood. He is
not in favor of forcing any apology from
Spain: He does not resent the insult to
The flag sufficiently to risk anything to
wipe it out.
In similar way he is contemplating
the Venezuela complications. Rather
than risk the consequences of a straight
forward protest to Great Britain-a pro-
test backed by a courteous intimation Of
force, such as Mr.. Seward made to France
in the height of her supposed military as
tendency, he would temporize. He would
submit the boundary question to arbitra-
ton and take the chances of an adverse
decision. In vain the secretary of state
assures him that the Monroe doctrine is n
settled fact, not matter to arbitrate. In
vain he is told that Great Britain herself
has recognized it, In vain it is pointed
out to him that she is exhausting every de-
vice to evade it, and that arbitration is one
of such devices. Mr.. Cleveland cannot
see things in that light. The question is
not worth discussing!
In the same way he hopes that Germany
will not be harsh upon Venezuela; that
Nicaragua will not make trouble; that
France will continue to give time to
Hayti. Under Mr. Cleveland's guidance
there will be no rupture that he can avoid.
Not unless q British force burned WASH

Presidential Apathy.

Rumors are plentiful of serious disa.
greeinent in the cabinet extending to all
the subjects under consideration in our
foreign relations. 1t is not always pru-
dent to trust those unauthenticated sto-
ries, but as they are circulated in detail
they bear SO strong family resemblance
and consist 50 we'll with known facts that
they are more than usually worthy of at
tention. The fact for example, that the
Gresham note to Spain has not been fol-
lowed up in any way is obvious No dis
avowal, no apology, no recognition of the
demand for both has yet been reported. In
response to sharp demand for prompt
action, Spain is placidly proceeding to ex-
anime into the case at her leisure, az
pointing commissioners and treating the
matter with all the deliberation of the
10th century. For all the effect it has had
upon the Spanish government, Mr.
Gresham might have spared himself the
trouble of sending it.
What the influence 10 that is restraining
the administration from the characteristic
nervous American course of action is not
hard to spell out. 1t is, of course, Mr..
Cleveland The president is essentially a
man of inaction. His habit Of mind and
body is distinctly passive. No personality
before the public of this country today is
more impressively unlike the American
type than Grover Cleveland. The blood
in his veins moves sluggishly. His patriot.
ism is OF the purely perfunctory kind,
which nothing short of an attack upon his
personal comfort and convenience would
kindle to the indignation point. He sees

brake was pulled and the train halted
