SEE TO RAID TIE SKY.
ChicagO's Boss Sky Reader to Seek On
The Origin of Things.

ChicagO's Boss Sky Reader to Seek Out
The Origin of Things.
Chicago's astronomical star is going
after the most carefully guarded family
secret of the heavenly stars. He immor-
talized his name by detecting triple star
while out skylarking late one night last
year, but that has only spurred him on to
gain better acquaintance with the whole
family. He not only wants to know who
they are, but what they are.
Professor Thomas J. J. See of the astro-
nomical department. of the University of
Chicago merely wants to know how worlds
are made. As no one on earth is able to
tell him he is going to try to read the
answer in the stars. Other astronomers
have worked at the problem in vain. But
then they secured the heavens for thou
sands of years without ever seeing the
footprint of triple star until the Chica-
goan had found one and told them exactly
where to look for it.
The distant neighbors of earth have
been shy about letting humanity into the
history of their BIRTH but Professor See
hopes to coax the secret from them. He
is about to begin an investigation of the
origin of things. He will try to trace the
lights swimming in the frmament back
to their beginning. Professor See counts
on the big Yerkes telescope, with its 40
inch lens, as an efficient aid in this new
field of action.
Speaking with some reluctance, Profess
or See said recently:
"What purpose doing is to investigate
the origin of things. The final object of
all research is to enable astronomers to
solve the evolution of the stars, as it were;
how they have developed in the million of
ages that have passed and what is now
going on among them. The enormity of
the orbits of the stars have examined re-
quires the most minute calculations and
measurements. The least divergence may
result disastrously to the investigation.
will endeavor to determine the nature of
the bodies, especially of those which 7
have of late studied, by first figuring out
the ways and deviations of their orbit.
This may prove successful, and it may
not. "-Chicago Times Herald.

BELLE BOYD IN COURT.
The Confederate Spy Ably Defended by
Ex-Governor Jones.

The Confederate Spy Ably Defended by
Ex-Governor Jones.
Belle Boyd, the Confederate spy, was
honorab1y acquitted before Justice Screws
at Montgomery, Ala, the other day of
grand larceny. Ex-Governor Jones de-
Tended her, this being his first appearance
in magistrates court in 20 years, it is
stated.
The facts wero that recently little the
atricaI company stranded there. Belle
Boyd was the head of the aggregation,
and, leaving their trunks at the Mer-
chants hotel as security for unpaid board,
they departed. The company was reorgan-
lied at Talladega and had been playing
some days, when the proprietors of the
Merchants hotel took occasion to examine
the contents of the trunks, and, claiming
to find half dozen towels and napkins
belonging to the hostelry among them,
caused the arrest of the ex-Confederate
spy and two of her company on a charge
of grand larceny.
Ex-Governor Jones pleaded eloquently
for their acquittal, and the Justice dis
charged them. The evidence was trivial,
it being alleged by the defendants that the
action was taken to enforce the payment
of the board bill.-Louisville Courier

How the President PursueS The
Coy CanvaSback.
An Imposing and Picturesque
Figure in Leather Coat
And Gum Boots-A Patient Waiter
and Sure Shot-The Presi-
dents Good Luck.

When President Cleveland goes forth
TO seek the coy canvasback ON the
marshes down Currituck way, he is an
imposing and picturesque figure. He has
lately donned a new outfit that he has
had manufactured to order and that is
calculated to be both serviceable and
comfortable.
The most conspicuous part of the
costume is leather coat. 1t is Won
der, that coat, and is said to be the
largest one of the kind ever made in
this country. At the point where it but
tons around the place where the presi-
dents waist ought to be, but isn't, it
has a circumference of 5915 inches
that is, if it were spread out on the
floor it would stretch almost five feet
from button to buttonho1e. The chest
measure is SO inches. The coat was fur
nished by Washington dealer in sport
ing goods, but it was made in New
York.
A pair of gum boots, reaching we'll up
on the presidential thighs, and SLOUGH
marsh hat of canvas cover the two ex-
tremities of the presidential sportsman.
Around the presidents waist line is
clasped a broad belt loaded with car

Notwithstanding that he recently turned

This Dog Is More Intelligent Than Many
Humans.

Dennis Walsh, proprietor of the Ross
Vile distillery at Cincinnati, is the owner
of dog noted for it's remarkable intelli-
gence. The animal apparently under
stands everything said to it and displays
almost human reason. 1t faithfully guards
the private office and seems to divine the
purpose of persons seeking to enter, and
no suspicious character can come into the
building without being confronted by
Guy. A person on business is met with a
welcome and pleasure.
Hugh Miller, the superintendent, is a
great favorite of the animal. Miller was
i'll for q few days and confined to his room.
Guy was greatly distressed at his absence,
and, following his master to the home of
the sick man, showed the most intelligent
sympathy and understanding of his
friends wants and condition. Mr.. Miller
expressed desire to see a pocket memo
randum book that was at the Office, nearly
one mile away. With bound the saga
cious animal started away, and in half an
hour was back with the very memorandum
book he had spoken of.
This feat was witnessed by several reli-
able parties and gave positive evidence
that the observing dog fully understood
what Mr.. Miller had said. He has often
found articles belonging to his master or
some of the clerks in the office that had
been secreted about the premises on pur-
pose to test his powers, but his ability to
select from several books the right one dis
closes superior sagacity. 1t is magnif-
cent hunting dog and often accompanies
Mr.. Walsh on his extensive hunts in the
far west. 1t is a full bIooded Irish setter.

Chamberlain, read a dispatch from the
governor Of Cape Colony, Sir Hercules
Robinson in the house of commons to-

les were massing in the Matopo hills.
He added that communicati ton with
the south was endangered, that there
was a months supply of provisions,
etc, at Buluwayo; but that there was
a lack of arms there with which to
supply the volunteers.
Sir Hercules Robinson also said that
the natives were well supplied with
guns.

INTERNATIONAL FIRE TOURNEY.
Many Countries to Be Represented This
Year In London.

Many Countries TO BE Represented Vh1s
Year In London.
Preparations for the international fire
tournament and congress, to be held in
London in June, are now in active prog
ress, and representative OF the National
Fire Brigades' union of England is in
this country issuing invitations to the
chiefs of the various city departments,
with such of their hremen as can take the
journey to England. The representative
is Mr. George Z. Beasley, and he came on
the St. Louis. For several days he was
the guest of Chief Bonner of the fire de-
partment of New York, and an exhibition
of the department work was given for his
benefit. Much of his time was spent in
examining fire and police alarm and an
nouncement systems, in which he is inter
ested.
From New York Mr.. Beasley went to
Chicago. He also expects to visit Boston,
St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland and other
of the large cities, and to take trip
through Canada.
1t is expected that this years tourna-
ment will be the greatest yet held. All
the nations in Europe are to be represented
as we'll as various nations in South Amer
lea and Africa, and Mr.. Beasley is anxious
to have a good American representation.
The fire departments of the American
cities bear high reputation in Europe,
and at previous tournament Chief Hale
and his fremen from Kansas City were re-
ceived at London with great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Beasley expects to get number OF
fire chiefs to go over in June.-New York

accompany him on these trips. At the
wharf the lighthouse tender is found
waiting, and as soon as the traps and
the party are aboard the little steamer
gets under way for her journey down
the Potomac.
The president and his friends turn III
at once, and by the time the ducking
shore is reached, which is generally be-
fore daybreak, they have had a good
nights rest, have breakfasted and are
ready for the fray.
Just at present the presidents favor
tie hunting ground is a spot known as
Wide Water, place 46 miles down the
Potomac, where the river broadens out.
On the Virginia shore are extensive
marshes. where the shooting is excel
lent. The proprietor of the shore is
Withers Waller, plain man, but an ell
thusiastic sportsman, whose 1atchstring
is always out to Mr.. Cleveland and his
friends. All about the place there are
fine shooting grounds, and one of these,
known as the Arkandale property, is
likely to be purchased by the president.
After the lighthouse tender has drop
ped anchor the party distribute them
selves about at various places of vantage
and wait for the unwary teal, redhead
or brant. The ordinary lightweight
duck hunter can take advantage of the
inconspicuous float or the low lying
sneak box, but the president is altogeth-
er too portly to trust his avoirdupois to
such frail and unstable craft and gets
into an ordinary sized skiff. Then he is
rowed down to blind, a sort of screen
made of bushes, behind which he waits
for the ducks to come within easy range.
This is the part Of the business that
tests the qualities of the hunter, for if
he is not good waiter then it may be
safely set down that the enthusiasm of
the true sportsman does not fire his soul
The president has lots of patience He
has been known to wait for hours when
ducks were scarce without getting a
chance at one of them. Generally, how
ever, he is not put to this test, and on
an average of once in every 10 minutes
his gun will be heard to speak out.
When it does, something is almost sure
to drop, for the president has true eye
and is ready on the trigger. He often
bags as many as two dozen ducks in
forenoon and generally has as much to
show at the end of the day as most of
the party.

ington have discovered that the chief
executive is absent, and the reporters
have learned from Private Secretary

The proposed canonization Of Mary,
queen of Scots, has been approved by the
Catholic diocese of Westminster England,
where the inquiry into her claims to mar
tyrdom was held. The matter is now be-
fore the authorities in Rome. The Tablet,
a leading Catholic organ, says that che
question of her canonization is not one
dealing with the life of the queen or the
vexed points of her history. The question
is purely if she died as martyr to her
faith. It adds that not even her enemies
can deny her martyrs crown.
