kingdom" Capricornus is the eleventh of
the twelve consultations of the zodiac and
is marked by three pairs OF stars arranged
in a triangle. The westernmost pair of
stars consists of the stars Alpha, or Giedi,
and Beta or Dabih, of which the former is
a double star, visible as such to the naked
eye. Between Cygnus and Capricornus is
the constellation Delphiuus, or the Dolphin.
Although small. it is one OF the famous
forty eight Of Ptolemy and quite conspicu-
Gus by its shape-that of diamond. To
many this constellation is known by ths
somewhat fanciful name Of Jobs coffin,
though for what reason 1t ever received
this curious name is a mystery. Delphinus,
Sagitta, and Aquila are lying rather close
together. A little distance to the south
west OF Delphinus is situated still smaller
constellation that would hardly be worthy
of mention were it not for the fact that il
also belongs to the ancient forty eight. 1t
is called Equulene. or the Little Horse. The
beautiful star Arcturus is low down in the
southwest, soon to disappear beneath the
horizon, while bright Vega is still high up
in the heavens. Hercules and Corona
Borealis are approaching the horizon.
Aquila. with the first magnitude star AL
tair, has just passed the meridian, and Pc
gasus, with it's large square, is rapidly ap-
preaching it, Down in the southeast the
first magnitude star Fomalhaut is rising
up, the only prominent object in that region
of the sky.

AMERICAN FRUIT IN GERMANY.
4 Chamber of Commerce Report on
the Imperial Edict.

More attention than usual is being paid
just now by the State Department to the
condition OF American trade in Germany
The latest consular report on the subject is
from Consul Petit, of Dusseldorf, who
writes in regard TO American fruit and fruit
waste in Germany. He quotes literally
from the annual report of the Chamber OF
Commerce of Dusseldorf, remarking that it
contains a very interesting opinion of the
questions involved in the edict of the i'm
perial government of Germany restricting
the importation of American fruit and fruit
waste. In regard TO fruits the chamber of
commerce report says:
While we by no means deny the danger of
bringing in the San Jose scale. believe that
this peril is being greatly exaggerated by the
fruit growers The American drying methods.
exposing the fruit 10 a heat reaching 100 de-
grees CELSIUS, guarantees thorough destruction
Of the perncious insect. This is confirmed by
the fact that in the examination ordered 10 be
made at the boundary for the San jose scale
none have Yet been found. We will not omit
to mention that these examinations as well as
the police order OF the Rhine province of May
American fruit and fruit waste, to burn all
packing materials of these goods. have already
overTated the of American fruit waste.
A total prohibition of the importation would
greatly harm our domestic commerce. and would
merely transfer the manufacture OF jelly from
American fruit waste to foreign countries and
the demand would no doubt be supplied with
the foreign finished product instead OF from the
material purchased outside.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 31.-Rey Mel
pearing In south Jersey towns in company
with a young girl. Marie Auchen, whose
parents keep the Old Bulls Hotel Inn. an
ancient hostelry at Sixty-f fifth and Vine
Streets, is unhappy. because Of the sum-
mary way in which the girl, who was to
have been his wife, deserted him last night,
They were billed to appear in Gloucester.
n. J.. in song and dance act. AS Mel
Vile is well known there. thousand per-
sons greeted the pair as they went on the
stage. They went through the first turn
all right, and the girl went into the dress
fng-room TO prepare for a cake walk. The
time for her TO come on the stage arrived.
and Melville knocked at the door. Receiv-
ing no response. he entered the room and
found il deserted The act was cut out and
the performance soon after closed. The
prospective husband, without removing his
makeup. which was that of a hobo. got
lantern and began a search for the girl,
but all he could find was the deep inden-
tation made by two little heels in the soft
soil beneath the window of the room she
had used. This leads TO the belief that she
jumped from the window, a distance OF
twenty feet, TO escape him.
IL appears that Melville's suit was favor
ed by the parents of the girl. but that she
did not like him. Yesterday he took her
to justice of the peace, but had no IL
cense. and so the justice declined to marry
them. Il is said that there is another Ian
in the case, but who he is no one seems to
know. The parents have notified the po
lice. and they are looking for the girl. 1t
is thought she has gone to New York.

pafgn Manager.

James L. Norris, Treasurer Of the Ma

has received a letter from Chairman
James X. Jones, who is still in Scotland
Chairman Jones says that he has suffered
one relapse in Europe. but has now recoy-
cred his health. the air OF the Highlands
having done him much good.
Mr.. Norris says the tenor Of his letter
shows that he has no intention of relin-
gushing the chairmanship. but on the con-
trary, that he expects TO be able to per-
form its duties until the end of the Presi
Dental campaign in 1900 Senator Jones
will not return to this country, however
until October. In the meantime he has
been greatly encouraged by the reports OF
the healthy condition of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Norris says the committee will
be supplied with ample funds, and unlike
the campaign of 1896. his party will enter
the next contest with all the sinews of war,
more money having already been con-
tributed and pledged by those who for
meriy supported Mckinley than the party
has had at its disposal in the last three
campaigns.

Captain Evans Instead of Admiral
Schley.

Admiral Schley's friends throughout the coun-
try commenting upon the latest outbreak of
Admiral Schley. The naval hero of Santiago is
undoubtedly the idol Of the country, and his Sc
lection a representative of the Navy on the
occasion OF the Dewey celebration would have
been the most popular act of the present Secretary
of the Navy since the termination of the war with
Spain. But instead offseleeting Schley and per-
mitting the two great naval heroes of the war
TO meet in New York in October, Secretary Long
sought out Captain Evans and thus prevented a
great popular demonstration. for the hero of San
tiago. If Secretary Long had selected Admiral
Schley as the representativecef the Navy on the
occasion Of the Dewey eelebFation. he would have
become as popular with the public of the country
as Heurich's beers are with the people of Wash
ington.
