THE CHASE COMET.
Astronomer Now Believe That Its Pres
ent Appearance Is the First.


A special dispatch to the New York
Sun from New Have says: The new
comet discovered at the Yale observa-
tory by DIR. Frederick l.. Chase pre-
sents one Of the most puzzling problems
with which the observatory staff has
ever had to deal. Probably this is ow-
ing in a large degree to the difficulty
of making satisfactory observations.
The earlier observations were nearly
all Photographic, and the Yale astron-
omers have found that the results cal
culated from these need much correc-
ton. The three days Immediately fol-
lowing the discovery were cloudy at
New Haven and were followed by two
weeks of bright moonlight nights, so
that the new comet could not be seen.
For this reason there was a wide diver
gence in the first computations of the
orbit, and the astronomers have been
obliged to change their minds several
times upon the question of the comets
~periodicity. There mas been an even
greater divergence between the calcu-
lations made at Yale and those made
at other astronomical stations. such as
Lick observatory and Harvard. A week
ago the Harvard observers announced
that the comet was periodic. Subse-
quent observations, both at Harvard
and at New Haven, demonstrated the
inaccuracy of these calculations.
LII. E<lhIn anu LII. Sndce at the 1dle
observatory now believe that they have
secured an orbit which Is somewhere
near the truth. For the last two weeks
they have taken a great nan visual
observations with an eight-inch equa-
torial, as a result of which they have
concluded that the comet is not period
lie. Its present appearance, so far as
the earth is concerned, is unquestion-
ably its first and IL Is now leaving for
parts unknown, never to return. The
date of its p~erihelion passage was CIV
en- some time ago as Jan. 4. 1899. but
the astronomers now believe that IL has
already passed its perihellon and fix the
date at about the middle of September,
1898. At that time its distance from the
sun was somewhere more than 1000. 900
miles. 1t is travelling in a parabolic
and is gradually receding from the
Inasmuch as the earth is moving
toward the comet its brightness is still
Its distance from the earth
at the present time Is about $50, 000, 900
miles. In a few weeks the earth will
begin to draw way from the comet
and the brilliancy Of the latter will
then diminish. DIR. Chase believes that
II will be visible with a strong tele-
scope for two or three months to come,
though 1t will b. impossible at any
time to see IL with the naked eye.

A BAG OF QUEER MONEY.
Its Peculiar POssessOr Under Arrest
on Suspicion.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 1S.-Edwin
A. Wakup, who claimed to have inherited
large estate from his uncle in the Phil
ippines, was arrested last night and locked
up as being a suspicious character. Walk
up, who IS forty-eight years old, but who
looks to be over sixty, acknowledged to
the officers that he promised to pay s23,-
600 to the girl he married last April pro-
vided she would marry him. A policeman
last night was called from the street by a
brother of the GIRL who said there was a
man in the house who owed his sister mon
ey; that although he had bagful with
him he refused to part with any Of it, and
he further believed the man should not be
allowed to go at large. The man was
taken to the station and with him the bag,
which was found to contain package of
what purported to be hundred dollars bills
aggregating $4,000. The paper was stamp
ed with the denomination on both sides,
and was more in the nature of advertising
bills than counterfeit money. still it look
ed enough at first glance like genuine
money to cause a person to look twice.
Walkup claimed that he had a right to
be in the house, as the young woman was
his wife. The latter admitted her mar
riage to WaIkup. and said he had promised
her $40, 900 within fifteen days of their mar
riage, but he had never paid 1t. The cou-
pie have not lived together of late, and
Walkup has made his headquarters at the
Salvation Army barracks in Boston. When
asked where he obtained the money Walkup
said he got it of George Parker, of Quincy,
who had settled his uncle's estate, and if
the money was counterfeit he did not know
it. He then produced one Of the registration
blanks upon which Massachusetts wills are
made. The reference to Massachusetts, was
crossed off, and in place thereof were the
words, "Iloilo, Philippines, and the docu-
ment purported to be the viii Of Joel Wells,
of that place. The police are nopplussed,
and, cOnceding it to be the most curious
case they have ever been called upon to
| handle, they decided to hold Walkup as q
suspicious character.

DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 1s.-Ten thousand
copies Of the following letter adopted by
the Commercial Club last night. accom-
panied by Autographed Invitations, are be-
ing mailed to business men and capitalists
throughout the Union: ''The people OF
Texas earnestly request your presence at
their State Industrial Convention. called
by Gov. Joseph Sayers, to meet in this
city on October 20 and 81 for the purpose
Of yitalizing industry in Texas and con-
yincing thoughtful investors Of what Is not
generally known; that is, that Texas pos
sesses natural advantages superior to any
section of the Union for diversified indus
try, particularly in the manufacture of
cotton goods. The convention will be at
tended by upward of 2.G00 men of affairs
Of Texas, who desire to form the acquaint
ance Of business men In other sections of
the Union, point out to them the natural
advantages Of Texas, and receive the bene-
fit of their suggestions. 1t was thought
best to have the convention meet during
the progress of the State Fair, at Dallas,
so that visitors could have a bird s-eye

Always MonopoIy's Friend.
(From the Kansas City Times.) }


II the Republican party never had any
connection with the trusts and is not in
any way responsible for their existence,
how is it that no one ever charges the
Democratic or Populist parties with being
their creator or defender? Even the most
partisan and hidebound of the Republican
newspapers and party leaders never think
CT even intimating that any other party
is responsible for them.
Did any one ever hear of a trust baron
contributing a nickel to Democratic
campaign fund? Did anyone ever hear of
trust baron being sincerely prosecuted
by a public official who was not a Demo-
crat? True, Republican attorney gen
eral of Ohio drove the Standard Oil trust
he was repudiated and kicked out of the
party by the first Republican State con-
vention that met after he instituted pro-
ceedings against the trust. Is there trust
in the country that is not in favor of re-
tanning the Dingley tariff or something
better? Was the Dingley tariff a Demo-
cratic measure? Is the Democratic party
working for its retention and the Repub-
lican party trying to pull it down? Is
there one principle Of the Democratic par
ty that is favorable to industrial trusts
and is there principle of the Republican
party that antagonizes them? The Morrill,
tariff act of 1862 was the first trust incu-
bator, and the Republican party has been
widening and Iengthening the apparatus
ever since.
