ARIZONA STARS.
Big Astronomical Party to Discover
 Our Asterisks.

CHICAGO, July 22.-The principals i'll the astronomical expedition, which men of science say is the most import ant one planned for more than half a century, has left Chicago for Flag staff, Arizona, to go eventually to Mex ico. These gentlemen carried with them the best lens in the world, those of the Lick telescope and of the un- finished Yerkes telescope excepted. The favorable atmospheric and eli matic conditions to be found in Ari- zona and in Mexico, the best known to astronomers on this continent, they expect to add volumes to the history of the planet Mars and to make the most systematic survey ever attempt ed Of the sidereal systems which whirl through space around the southern hemisphere.
 Percival Lowell of Boston heads the expedition. He will make observa- tions on Mars. Dr. T. J. See of the University of Chicago goes along to study the stars, particularly the dou- ble ones, and to make a complete sur vey of the southern heavens-an al- most virgin field for the astronomer. Lowell will be assisted by A. B. Doug lass, frmerly of Harvard, and w. A. Cogshall of Grand Rapids, Mich. D. A. Drew formerly of the University of Chicago will assist Dr. See.
 Last, but not least, is Alvan G. Clark, the only surviving member of the old optical instrument making firm of Cambridge, Mass, He goes to set up the new 24-inch telescope, and may remain some time with the 1, expedition
 Professors Barnard and Burnham i hope for excellent results from this expedition. It is on larger scale, they say, and better equipped than any ! before attempted

CORN PROSPECTS.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-In the last two days information regarding the growing corn crop has been re- ceived at the department of agricul- ture. They are indications of big yield. It has been impossible until now to get an accurate idea of the pros poets. The July reports are therefore of unusual importance. There are growing in the United States $1 ,O0O,- 900 acres of corn. In many of the leading corn states the crop is in splen- did condition. Everywhere, excepting Texas, it gives encouraging promises. For the entire country the present av- craze is 92.4.

Judge Barnes EnthusiaS-
 tic and Confident.
Saws That Mark Smith Is the
 Committeeman.
Silver Sentiment Sizzling Through the East and Every State Liable
 to Go for Bryan.

Hon. Wm. H. Barnes came in yes- terday afternoon, the first of the Ari- zona delegates to Chicago to arrive here To a reporter he explained how the delegation worked in Chicago. The delegation met and agreed to carry out the instructions of the home conven- tion. There was never a disagree ment of any kind, not an unkind word, not the slightest dissension from be- ginning to end. Regarding the Ma tional committeeman he expressed as- tonishment that the papers credit it to Burbage The name of Mark Smith was in the list for Joe Alexander to hand to the secretary of the cOnven- tion to be recorded on the official list. If any mistake was made Judge Barnes knows nothing about it, and he still believes that Mark Smiths name is on that List.
 The judge further says that the sil- yer sentiment in the east is spreading like the light of the sun on a clear morning in early springtime. The i Republicans are at sea as to their plan of campaign They begin to see what | they were bat blind to at the time of Bryan's nomination, and they realize that the spread of the financial lesson is not to be retarded by the rebel cry against the great people of the south and west.
 T shall not be surprised" said the judge, "at anything, not even if every state in the Union gives its electoral vote to Bryan and Sewall, because as conditions now are, any state you may name is either certain for Bryan or in 1 doubt

 Game of Cards.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 22.- A trivial dispute Saturday night over game of cards between w. w. liar alson, auditor of Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railroad, and Francis M. Ector, assistant auditor of the same road, resulted in the death of the lat ter
 The men were the closest of friends and spent much of their time togeth- CT. They had rooms in the Arlington hotel and passed nearly every evening playing cards. They were engaged in their usual game when a dispute arose about the deal Ector became greatly angered and remarking to Haralson T don't want to hear anything from you," threw the cards on the floor,

He again advanced, and as he did so, Haralson brought a heavy oaken chair down on his head, felling him. Phy- sicians were called in, but Ector died at 5 o'clock yesterday morning with out regaining consciousness. The tragedy has caused great excitement owing to the prominence of the par ties.

Schrader's Cures.

August Schrader, the self assum-
ed Divine healer, still holds forth
at San Pedro springs to the thous.
ands of curiosity seekers who wish
to see the man who so much re-
sembles Christ. No miraculous
cures have thus far been reported,
and upon deligent inquiries by re.
porters for the LIGHT, none could
be found. Many amusing Incl
dents occur daily and peculiar all
ments are found to test the healer !;
for instance, boy named Charley
Bateman forced his way to the
front and asked the healer II he
could cure him of shooting
snipes." The healer replied, after
sizing Bateman up, that he
thought he was too far gone. and
to apply elsewhere.
1t is not known when Schrader
will leave San Antonio as he
claims the spirit moves him.

Although San Antonio lost, the
score being 16 to s, IL was a very
interesting game, and the crowd
was expecting every minute to see
the Bronchos open up on Huston.
The team hit hard, but the balls
went to fielders, while Galveston's
hits fell safe. Both teams put up
a nice game in the field.
