Sun Dogs in the Sky in New York

An optical phenomenon was visible here
Wednesday afternoon. Three brightly fam
ing suns suddenly appeared in the misty sky,
the two additional ones being sun dogs, rarely
seen in these attitudes, and known to men of
science as parhella or mock suns.
There were. formed about the sun II great
misty circle, darkest at lis outer rim. The
circle was surrounded by fiery halo, glow
ing with prismatic colors, in which an angry
red predominated. 1t extended from the
horizon half way to the zenith.
On the outer edge of the circle of mist, to
the right and left of the sun, appeared the sun
dogs. They were but half as bright as the
real sun, though of the same size and sur
rounded as was the great planet by glowing
halos
This extraordinary spectacle was first OBJ
served at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Gradu-
ally the sun dog on the right faded into the
misty sky, but the one on the left maintained
its shape long afterward. The dark circle
and its fiery belt wavered and shone disap-
pearing at times and darling into being again,
after the manner of the Aurora Borealis.
The sun dog on the left lasted for more
than two hours. Experts state that the mock
suns precede IL sort of breaking up of the
weather or the arrival of storms. 1t cannot
be absolutely predicted that gale will ensue
where the phenomenon is visible. Yet it is
usually supposed to indicate bad weather.

Turned Reformer Again.

Gov. Lowndes has not recently been in com
pany with Sloan and Wellington, the other
two members of the "AlIegany Ring.'' who
now dominate the state, and has had another
reform" fit. He unbosomed himself to a
limited mum Der. of people through the COL
umns of his organ, the Baltimore San, on
Tuesday. The Governor said he wants mi
nerity representation on the public school
boards, on the board of police commissioners
of Baltimore, &C., &c. And he explained
that he meant by minority representation
Democrats who vote the Democratic ticket.
He further stated that he did not intend to
have Republican committees monkeying with
the minority representation. The Governor
remarked still further that he had announced
that he was ready to receive recommendations
as 10 appointments from committees, and if
they did not act soon he would make them to
suit himself. Now just watch the Governors
actions and compare them with his declara-

number of Democrats have been an
nounced for the nomination for Congress in
this district. In the persons of j. Fred. C.
Talbot and L. NJ Bacon Baltimore comfy
has two candidates, Hartford may present
Geo. NJ. Jewett, and both Cecil and Hartford
may each have one, then there are three
wards of Baltimore and three precincts of the
eleventh ward. The Democratic majorities
of Cecil, Hartford, Baltimore and Carroll
couaties at the late election aggregated 1867,
bnt the city part of the district gave Re.
publican majority of about 1000, leaving a
Democratic majority OF about 700. This re.

candidates to the 'front.' 1t will be nine
months before the congressional elections,
and conditions after the present session of
Congress is over will have considerable effect

CAUSED SON-IN-LAW'S ARREST.
Had Condoned Dissipation But Rob-
berry Was Too Much

New YORK, Jan. 30.-Moses Rosenstock
was arraigned in the Centre Street Police
Court today, on the complaint of his father
in-law, David Wilson, Of Baltimore, as a
fugitive from Justice He was held pending
the arrival of requisition papers from Balti-
more.
Resensteck was arrested last night. He is
81 years DID, but looks much older. Mr..
Wilson. the complainant, is the senior mem
Der of the furniture manufacturing firm of
David Wilson 4 Son, Baltimore.
Thirteen years ago, according to the story
told by Mr.. Wilson in court today, Rosen-
stock was compelled. through his gambling
debts and entangements, to leave Germany.
He came to this country. and after short
residence in Baltimore married Mr. Wifi
sons oldest daughter, despite her fathers OPP
position. Soon after that Rosenstock was
given position in his father laws firm,
but after paying attention to business for few
months Rosenstock again plunged deeper
than ever into dissi patton. Then one day came
the refusal of one of the firms largest Gus
toners to pay bill of over $50, 600, which it
claimed, according to Mr.. Wilson. had been
paid to Rosenstock months before. When
confronted with the evidence Rosenstock
denied that he had received the money, but
the matter was settled fora time by Rosen-
STOCK accepting Il rev nunureu dollars ana
leaving town. He left his wife and FIVE child
rem behind, An expert was put at work on
his books, and, Mr.. Wilson states, discover
ed that Rosenstock was $30,0OO short in his
accounts. This was in 1896.
His dissipation in Baltimore, said Mr..
Wilson in court today, chad already cost
me over 5000. and when found he had
been robbing me beside | determined to
punish him severely if he could be found"
For a year and more detectives secured the
country for Rosenstock. He went, they
learned, to Philadelphia, and after being in
the employ of a firm there for few months
disappeared, having defaulted in small sum.
Later he went to Pittsburg, and according
to the story practically did the same thing
over again.
Rosenstock had nothing to say when ar
raigned today, and greeted his father-in- law
with downcast eyes. He showed little emotion
when told by Mr.. Wilson that during the two
years he had been absent two of his children
had died. After he was remanded to the
Tombs Rosenstock said he would prepare
statement showing the amount of money he
had taken from Mr.. Wilson.

A True Comparison.

Must Eat Darker Bread.

Joseph Letter.. Of Chicago. according to
experts in the wheat trade, is forcing thous-
ands of persons to eat darker bread than had
been eaten. by them since the introduction of
the patent roller process of making -four.
His control of $1,000, 600 bushels of CON
tract wheat means, they say, that the millers
are grinding the best grain they can procure
since their supply of No. hard spring wheat
has become exhausted, and the best is not
very good.
Grocers and retail -four dealers have been
receiving complaints regarding breadstutfs
from cooks and housewives, who have sent
back sacks and barrels of -four marked with
the fanciest brands and bought Mt the highest
prices. The loudest protests have been raised
by the restaurateurs and bakers who buy at
wholesale.
Health Commissioner Reynolds has sent
out men to gather samples of flour from lead
ing dealers. This -four will be analysed, and
definite information will be given to the pub
lie as to the cause of the general prevalence
of dark and shady bread.

Kill the Bill.

The Legislature should kill the bill To change
the name of the Sheppard Asylum. Aside
from the outrage that would be perpetrated
upon the generosity and memory of the foun-
der OF the Asylum, it would be an additional
monument to Enoch Pratt, who seems to have
been anxious to perpetuate his memory at
the expense of other people. He founded
the Pratt Library, but he conditioned it upon
the city of Baltimore expanding $4,000 II
year to maintain it. This capitalized at six
per cent is 1888, SO, and this is the amount
Mr.. Pratt added to the public debt ofthe city,
and made it irredeemable, under the guise of
philanthropy. Kill the bill.

distance from there to find further evidences
of divine revelation. The death list, so far
as is known, includes FIVE persons from Smith
