During the month of September
the moons phases are as follows:
New on the 4th, first quarter on
the 18th, full on the 10Th, last
quarter on the 18th. She was in
Apogee on the Cd and will be in
apogee again on the 3Oth, and in
perigree on the 18th. The moon
moves eastward among the stars
every night, performing a revolu-
ton from star to star in a period
OF about 27K days, called a side
real month. Since the suns east
ward motion among the stars is
90 much slower than the moons,
it IL evident that the moon from
time to time overtakes and passes
the sun. The period from a new
moon 10 q new moon is called the
synodic month, which is nearly
2K days longer than the sidereal,
and constitutes the ordinary
month. When the moon is nearest
g the earth, or in perigee, it is
3, 900 miles nearer to the earth
than when she is remotest from
earth, or in apoeee.
AT the beginning of the month
ct September the sun is q little
over 8 degrees distant from the
equator, but viii reach it on the
sd = 1:0 in the afternoon, at
which moment the summer season
is q an end and the autumn sea-
|son begins.

WAS NO BURGLAR.
But James Sprague Was Certain
He Saw One.

James. Sprague, an employe of the
American Cash Store, at Eighth and
K streets, either saw or imagined he
saw bold burglar in the basement of
that establishment shortly before noon
after Acting Chief of Police Ash Ser
geant Dolan, Officers Pennish, Mike
Fisher and Wilson worked on the mys-
terry and finally gave up the search
satisfied that the alleged burglar was
a myth.
Mr.. Sprague rang up police head
quarters about II o'clock and informed
the Sergeant that he had burglar
corralled in the basement The force
turned out. Sprague informed the Off
GERS that as he started down the base
ment stairs a man started up. and that
he, waiting for no closer acquaintance,
took a shot at him. He showed where
the bullet had gone through the landing
of the stair, and then the search COM
menced.
The electric lights were turned on
and every box, corner and Granny was
searched, but without turning out the
burglar. There was a possibility that
the alleged thief might have crawled
under the floor, but an examination
proved that the spider webs Ghe ac-
emulation Of years. had not been tam
pered with.
AS there was no possible means of
egress from the basement except the
stairs down which Sprague fired the
police are inclined to believe that the
burglar was a shadow. That belief is
strengthened by the fact that nothing
was disturbed or stolen.

KOHANOFF'S CHARGES.
He Has Filed a Formal Complaint
Against Sergeant Dolan.

Henry Kohanoff, who conducts the
eating stand at Fourth and K streets,
and who recently complained that Ser
geant of Police Dolan had accused him
of having stolen hams in his possession
and used rough language toward him,
yesterday reduced his charges to writ
ing and filed them with the Chief of
Police.
Sergeant Dolan last evening said to
a Record Union reporter that he did
not accuse Kohanoff of having stolen
hams in his place, but that he asked
leave to look at the brand on them.
He said he was at the time, looking for
a young man who had hawked eighteen
hams, which he CDolan) believed to
have been stolen, about the restaurants
and hotels of the city, and thinking
that Kohanoff might have bought one
of them, hoped to locate the place they
came from by the brands. Dolan said
that Kohanoff cursed and swore and
used vile language, that he declined to
listen to any explanation, and behaved
like a crazy man.
Dolan's statement is corroborated by
Officer Bagley, who was present at the
time the controversy occurred.
