Perrine's Comet Recedins.

The astronomers at the national observa-
tory say that Perrine's comet is travelling
away from the earth, and seems to be
gradually fading from the sight. Its posts
ton Saturday night was described as being
Az degrees north declination, and three
hours fifteen minutes right ascension. II is
still undetermined whether the comet il
travelling in q parabolic orbit or in the d.
rection of an elongated ellipse, but il is
expected that early developments will tend
to settle this question. If 1t is the latter
case, the comet Will again return 10 view,
but otherwise 1t will be lost in space in
about month, as roughly calculated by
the observers. 1t was nearest the earth
February %, when it was distant about
35,0O0.O00 miles, and since then has been
steadily moving away.

FENCIBLES' FAIR CLOSED,
1t Was n Success in Every Partfcu-
lar.

1t Was n Success in Every Particu-
Amid a blaze Of glory the fair Of the
National Fencibles was brought to a close
Saturday night, after 4 successful run of
two W eeks. By far the largest crowd since
the opening was in attendance, and a
rushing business was done, most of the ar
ticles remaining on hand at IL o'clock being
disposed Of at auction, Nessrs. Shannon
and Hall officiating as auctioneers. So far
as is now known over 5000 will be turned
into the treasury Of the Fencibles as re-
suit of the enterprise.
The handsome horse and trap will be pre-
Sen,ed to the holder of one of the season
tickets, probably next Saturday A COM
mttee of three reputable business men Is
to be named, either this afternoon or to-
morrow, and the matter will be placed in
their hands, the company having no con-
necticn with the selection of the winner in
any way wha atsoever. The committee will
make known its findings through the news
papers, which will be the first knowledge
of the same to reach the Fencibles
Prize Winners.
Winners of prizes announced Saturday
were as follows: Bicycle No 4, Jacob
strlsburger, ticket 100; bicycle ]. s. Co.
hen, ticket 20, series K; Haviland dinner
set, Mrs. Charles S. Fletcher; widows

Competitive Drill.
The members of the company are greatly
interested in the Savannah interstate drill
and strong sentiment in favor of partici-
pating in the competition exists. However
Capt. Domer states that no action in that
direction will be taken until the quarterly
meeting of the company, which is sched-
uled for the first Tuesday in April. In the
opinion of Capt. Domer, the date set for
the drill is too early and the extended or
der movements and rushes required in the
program require too much time for prepa-
ration to make the trip advisable How
ever 1t is not improbable that the Fen
c1bles will take the trip. and if so, it will
be with the intention of winning first prize
1t Is stated that the Galveston se.ni-cen-
tennia1 championship cup may be placed in
competition at Savannah.
Private advices from Little Rock state
that the Mccarthy Light Guard, one of the
famous drill companies of the United
States, will probably go to Savannah.

Marquette In History,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In Saturdays Star correspondent, who
says he is a High School boy, and who
signs himself FASTENER" seeks to belittle
the name CT Jacques Marquette by the re-
mark that he is scarcely mentioned in
history" This simply means that in his
school studies Easterner has not read the
right books. and has yet to learn much
concerning this wonderful continent, the
greatness of whose history makes the east
more than string OF feeble settlements
Any one familiar with the story Of the de-
Velopment of the northwest can show
Fastener hundreds of pages of most
interesting history Of Marquette. He bears
about the same relation to America that
Dr. Livingstone bears to Africa His
matcnless diplomacy changed bowling saw
age enemies INTO peaceful allies. Unarmed
and unprotected except by his own per-
suaslVe powers, ne penetrated the wilds of
the continent. and by his benign and cour-
teous hearing made easy the establishment
OF peaceIul relations with the ferocious
western Indians. This peaceful relation
ship was never disturbed as long as the
great French pioneers held their anicahle
sway. For a beginning, let FASTENER"
and all ether High School boys read PARK
mans Discovery Of the Great West. In
honoring Marquette they will honor them
serves more. HIS superb statue is not to
the churchman, but to the explorer. He
needs no stone or tablet One of the most
beautiful and important cities of The
immortal memory. ~ i''
