THE TWO NEW COMETS.
Perrine's Has Tail Growing
1000, 900 MILES Daily.

100000 MILES Daily.
The comet discovered at Lick
Observatory on Nov. II by @. D.
Perrine promises to be an exceed
ingly interesting one. The plane
in which the comet is moving is
inclined al deg. % min to the
plane of the ecliptc and passes
through a point in the ecliptic
800 deg. 40 min. east of the YER
nal equinox.
The comet is now about 3d.
100000 miles from the sun. The
distance will decrease and reach a
minimum of about 70, GOO, 600
miles on Dec. 1S, at which time
its angular distance from the
point where its path intersects the
ecliptic will be 273 deg, After
Dec. IS the distance from the sun
will again increase. The object
is not quite visible to the naked
eye at present, but its brightness
is increasing very rapidly. 1t will
undoubtedly be visible with tele-
scopic assistance in few weeks.
Unfortunately, however, its az
proach to the sun will bring it
into the morning twilight and the
difficulty of observation will be
increased thereby. 1t is now one
and half times as far from the
earth as the sun is, but the dis
tance is growing smaller. 1t must
not be assumed, however, the
visitor is coming close to the
earth.
For the third time within three
months the powerful refiectors at
the Lick Observatory have given
to the astronomers knowledge OF
the existence of n comet before
unknow0. Following the dis
covery of Perrine's comet, named
after the scientisi who first an
nounced its appearance, Mr..
Brooks Of New York has added
to the list an aerial wandcrer
which will take his name.
The Brooks comet Is quite
large. without "A tail, but is not
visible to the naked eye. 1t is
now in the constellation Hydra
moving rapidly rorthward, at the
rate of four degrees per day.
Professor Campbell finds that the
spectrum is of the usual type,
showing the presence OF incandes-
cent nitrogen and carbon.
Perrine's comet has been OBJ
served here by Professor Aitken
every morning except one since
the discovery. The tail at the
present time is increasing in
length at the rate of about l ,OOO,.
600 miles per day. With the aid
of a photograph taken by Mr..
Cotton this morning the computed
length of the visible tail was
found to be at least 100000
miles.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Labor cir
cles are beginning ITO discuss the COM
ing convention Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, which is to begin
in THE city of New York on. Dec. ..
Time was, and not so many years
ago either, when the general assem-
bly, Of the knights of Labor was far
and away the most important labor
gathering of the year, but nowadays
the lead is taken by the convention
of the federation, the membership OF
the unions affiliated with 1T being not
less than million, while from one
cause and another the membership
of the Knights of Labor has been
greatly reduced.
The coming convention is sure to
be a spirited one. Many questions
are coming up, the disposition of
which will have much to do with the
future of the organization. Possibly
nothing more important will need to
be considered than the choice Of pres
ident. Last year at Denver John Nc
Bride, who for years had been head
of the organized miners, was chosen
in place of Samuel Gompers, who was
the first president of the federation as
ait present organized, and had served
continuously until that time.
The first convention Of the fedora
tion was held in Pittsburg, in No
vember, 1881, when the title Of "Tne

the messengers of each bank would,
have to go to every other bank and
exchange checks. This used to be done
forty years or more ago. That method
was found to be too, cumbersome. II
the old system were in vogue today,
it would take about $3.50 men from
one to two days to do the business
which is now done by 1876 men in about
an hour.
The amount of business which can
be done, as represented in figures, In
so short a time, is almost beyond be-
lief. The writer of this article was
present at the New York Clearing
house the other morning when SILL
0C0 600 in checks were eXchangeq. Tine
words give one little better idea OF
the magnitude of these transactions
than do the figures. This was. not an
unusual day, either. There have been
days when the total exchanges amount
ed to S130, ,000.
The time required for the actual eX--
change Of this vast sum was exactly
ten minutes.
The total balance on this occasion
was s.. .OOO.OOO. That represents the sum
which the debtor banks paid into the
clearing house. and which was. in turn
paid out to the creditor banks. When
the transaction was completed, not a
single penny remained in the, clearing
house. The appropriateness of the
name is clear.
EXCHANGE OF VAST. SUMS.
While the actual transfer of checks
occupied only ten minutes, of course
the entire time required to complete
the business was somewhat longer.
The scene of it all is hall some so

They are sent by the various banks.

morning these men are in their places.

an Offer From Omaha.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 15.-Omaha sent
a committee of business men to Denver
to have Schaltter, the so-called heal
err" come to Omaha The chairman, Jo-
seph Connor, returned today and says
SchIatter will come soon and that his
whereabouts are known to two Denver
citizens. Connor had great difficulty IN
gaining an audience with Schlatter and
only did so by making himself agree
able to two policemen who stood guard
over Schlatter at the entrance to the
grounds of Fox's restaurant, where
SchIatter stopped while in the city.
There were 5000 people in front OF the
theater and on the other side OF the
fence, but at his back were only a corps
of police to keep people from getting
over the fence. Connor obtained five
minutes interview with Schlatter. The
healer said his mission was not to dis
cuss doctrine, but to aid suffering hui
manity. Mr.. Connor asked him to come
to Omaha and help the poor and suf-
fering. The healer's answer was that
he only went where the Messiah re-
vealed to him togo, and that he would
give him an answer at 8 o'clock the
following day. But in the meantime
Schlatter was gone. A visit to the
house of Fox showed the healer's bed
to have been untouched. Connor be-
feves that he has it SO fixed that

The clearing house is just place
where the representatives of banks
meet to exchange checks and settle
balances. That is all. The clearing
house is an association of banks. 1t
engages in no other business, is not
chartered and is not responsible TO
anybody or any organization. There
are no laws in the statutes govern
ing its operations. 1t neither bor-
rows nor lends, pays interest or de-
clares dividends.
If a butcher owes a grocer $40 and
the grocer owes the butcher $S, the
grocer says:
Meet. me on the corner at 10
o'clock and we'll settle up"
"All right" says the butcher.
They NEST. The butcher gives the
grocer SO and receipted bill for $S.
The grocer hands over receipted
bill for SO.
That is the business in outline
which is carried on at a clearing
house. In the latter case the men
who meet are bank representative
instead of butchers and bakers, and
they meet in a big hall. Instead Of
exchanging bills they exchange
checks.
For example, the Hanover Nation
al bank receives from Brown & Co.,
a depositor, a check for $500. This
check was given Brown & Co. by
John Jones. who has money deposit
ed at the Chemical bank. The check
is drawn, therefore, on the Chemical
bank. The Hanover bank sends
Jones $500 check to the clearing
house, along with hundreds of other
checks. Perhaps the Hanover bank
has a dozen checks against the
Chemical bank. They are all put in
other banks are also put in separate
envelopes. The messenger for the
Hanover bank meets the representa-
tive of the Chemical bank, hands him
the checks drawn against his bank
and receives from the Chemical bank
checks which have been deposited
there and which were drawn against
accounts in the Hanover bank.
HOW MILLIONS ARE EX
CHANGED.
The balance is settled through tn,
clearing house. It is found that tht
checks held by the Hanover banI
against the Chemical bank amour
to 81. 800 more than those held by tn,
Chemical against the Hanover. The1
the Chemical bank owes the Hanove
bank that amount.
But there are siXty-iive banks, in
Guiding the United States subtreasury
comprised in the clearing house asso
citation. Both the Hanover and TIL
Chemical bring checks against part o
all Of these banks, which in turn hav
brought checks against other banks
Instead of each bank settling its bal
ances individually with the other sixty
four banks It simply exchanges checks
Then the whole amount which tn
Chemical bank owes The other banks
added up; also the whole amount whic
other banks owe the Chemical.

financial heart of the great Western

of white marble, beautiful in design,
rich in carving and withal very sub
sDtantial.
The business wfrich is to be trans

which is little understood. Every

has rather a hazy conception of the
details, while the rest of the general
