Tried to strangln Himself.

London, Eng, Feb. 2s.-The pre-
tended paropet, "Sir" Henry Muserave
Onequi, who IN 1898 induced the wife
OF james ii. Shakespeare, lawyer, of
Philadelphia, to elope with him, at
tempted to commit suicide in prison
here today. He was charged with
stealing small sum of money from
Gladys Fenton, barmaid. He had
advertised for wife, and met the girl,
who was impressed by his fine appear
ance and glib stories about his name
and fortune. He went through a bogus
ceremony of marriage with her and got
her savings. When she discovered the
fraud she had him arrested Onequi
tried 10 strangle himself by twisting
his neckcloth about the bars of his
cell, but was discovered in time to save
his life. He swindled many persons in
New York and other American cities in
1897 and 1888 under the guise Of
palmistry.

superior Court DismtBses HIS Petition anu
Directs Him to Pay the Costs.
Superior Court Thursday refused to
confirm. the award of the commissions
in the divorce case Of MILFORD L. Smith
VS.. Ella S. Smith. The commissions
was Baldwin Springer, and his finding
was favorable to the granting of
decree of divorce. Peter L. Cooper,
Jr., representing Mrs. Smith, opposed
the finding, and Robert G. Hartman, for
Mr.. Smith, advocated it at hearing
before the court in chambers some days
ago.
In addition to refusing to confirm
the commissioner award, the court
ordered the petition dismissed and put
the costs of the case upon the peti.
TONER, Mr.. Smith.
The court further ordered that the
parliamentary seal the records of the
case and that they were not to be
opened except upon the express order
Of the court.
The grounds alleged in Mr.. Smiths
petition were adultery, but the proof
was that he had lived with his wife
subsequent to the dates of her alleged
wrongdoing specified by him in his
complaint. This fact, in law, discredits
such allegations and requires a dis.
missal of the petition for divorce.

Entitled to Vacations.

Chambersburg, Pa, Feb. 2S.-Con-
gregations in the Carlisle Presbytery
will hereafter probably specify in their
calls to pastors whether or not an
annual vacation is permitted. The
Failing Spring Presbyterian oongre-
cation of this place failed to do this
when it called the Rev. Luther A.
Oates of Delaware City. and the
attention of Carlisle Presbytery was
called to the omission last evening by
Stated Clerk William A. West. The
Rev. DR.. s. A. Martin, who was
moderator of the meeting which elected
Mr.. Oates, explained that the custom
of giving pastors q vacation had be
come so general that he did not think
the incorporation Of vacation clause
necessary. The Rev. William A. Nc
Carroll said pastors worked hard and
were entitled to vacations. The Rev.
DIR. ]. Agnew Crawford, for 20 years
pastor of Falling Spring Church, said
he had always been granted all the
holidays he wanted by the church. 1t
was agreed that the congregation should
take some action giving the new pastor
the customary respite from work.

The stylish footwear on display in the
show windows of W. L. Douglas retail
store at Seventh and Market streets,
attracts general attention. The styles
for spring show humber of new toes,
the creation of the Douglas exclusive
designers, which will not be seen in
any other shoe store in this city. The
W. l.. Douglas shoes have a reputation
which extends around the world. Their
popularity has made a new era in shoe
making and in the shoe history of this
country. MI. Douglas has now been in
business quarter Of a century, during
which time he has made possible the
fact that shoes could be made to sell as
low as 3d. 30 and still POSSESS the same
material, Workmanship, style and dura-
bility to be found in those costing from

drawn from Betelguese to Sirius and
produced by its own length and form
ing part of the Egyptian Gross. The
gap between Gemini and CAMS Minor
on the north and Ago Navis and
Capis Major on the south is filed up
by the constellation Monoceros, or the
Unicorn, one of the modern constel-
lations made up by Helvetius in the
seventeenth century. None of the stars
in this otherwise large constellation
is above the fourth magnitude, render
ing 1t rather inconspicuous. East Of
CAMS Minor lies the zodiacal constel-
latiop of Cancer, or the Grab, which
does not contain a single prominent
star, but is easily recognizable frcm its
position, and in q clear and moonless
night by nebulous cloud called
Praesepe, or the Manger, with the
two stars Gamma and Delta Eear it,
which bear the singular name of Aselli,
or the Donkeys. Praesepe is also called
occasionally the Beehive. Auriga
with Capella In the north is half way
between the meridian and the western
horizon, and the beautiful constellation
Orion is rapidly approaching the hori-
zon. Gemini and CAMS Minor are still
high up in the heavens, though bend
ing toward the west. In the southwest
CAMS MAJOR, with brilliant Sirius,
may still be seen, while in the east the
constellation Leo is climbing up and
rapidly approaching the meridian.
Northeast magnificent star is rising
which at once will be recognized as
Arcturus, the brightest fixed star north
Of the equator.
In conclusion the reader will allow
us to remind him that the period of
visibility of a constellation or a star
depends solely upon the latitude of the
place of observation, for which reason
some consultations may be seen for a
greater period of the year than others
All the stars describe q circle which
cuts the plane of the horizon under the
same angle, equal in magnitude to the
difference of 30 degrees and the lati.
tude, and from this follows that stars
with a greater declination, that is,
with greater distance from tho
equator, will describe larger arc
above the horizon and remain visible
| for longer period. Stars whose
declination is SO degrees, as minutes,
CT more never set in the latitude OF
Baltimore, and consultations that lie
within these limits are called circum
polar, because they describe complete
circles around the pole that do moi
intersect the hoi lion. The circle whosf
distance from the pole equals the lati
tude of the place of observation i:
called the circle of perpetual apparitior
and forms the limit Of that part of the
sky which is always in view. it i!
absolutely necessary for anyone whit
wishes to knew something about the
period of visibility of stars and con
stellations to make himself familiar
with the points set out in these re
marks.

STRUCK IN DELAWARE BAY.
The Hamburg American Line Steam
BrisgavIa Seriously Damaged.

The Hamburg American Line Steamer
Brisgavia seriously Damaged.
The Hamburg American Line steamer
Brisgayia, which left Philadelphia Mon
day week, Hamburg, returned yesterday
week in distress, having sprung serious
leak in her forward hold after striking
a heretofore unknown obstruction in
the main ship channel Of Delaware
Bay The obstruction is between the
upper buoy on the Pea Patch and the
lower buoy on Goose Island Bar. The
steamers pumps were not able to
keep her free, and she was beached
temporarily, but subsequently fioated
and came back with the tug Juno
alongside in case of trouble.
The Biisgavia was in charge of Pilot
Poynter, and passed over the shoals in
safety, though che was drawing q feet
Of water. 1t was on Tuesday week
that she struck the obstruction, directly
in the main channel. The shock caused
her to heel over to port, and she sciaped
OH some hard substance for some dis
lance. This leads to the belief that
the obstruction is a wreck Of which
nothing is yet known.
Soon it was discovered the steamer
was leaking rapidly. Her pumps were
found inadequate to keep down the
water, and the vessel was beached on a
soft bottom. Yesterday week she tloated
the rising tide, and the leak was found
to have almost stopped. the mud having
worked its way into the line of frac-
ture. Thele were eight feet Of water
in her hold when she reached Phila-
delphia and tug was kept by with
her pumps at work.
A survey was held Thursday to de-
termine what shall be done with the
vessel. The cargo is believed to be
damaged to the extent Of about SIS, 00G
or $4,000. The entire cargo is valued
at 100000, and the vessel at over
$500, 900.

An American Mother, writing in the

Religion" uses this anecdote IN illus
traticn of how men of today are
neglectful Of the welfare of their own
souls: After a revival in a village
near Philadelphia a dozen young cen
verts met regularly to compare their
spiritual condition. Sam B., a
sickly lad, was conspicuously tbs most
Jealous among them. He could not
make sure of his salvation. He prayed
and agonIzed, and bemoaned his sins
necessarily. A sudden death threw a
sawmill, widowed sister and her five
penniless children on Sans hands.

WOMEN ACCUSED OF THEFT.

Two New Workers Relieved of Money
While In This city.
Mabel Curtis, aged 90 years, Of Ches-
ter, Pa, and Grace Duncan, aged %
years, Of Philadelphia, we're arraigned
in the City Court Thursday on the
charge of stealing ST. from Edward
Byrn and s15 from Orlando o. Wright,
both of New York City, at the Hotel
Western, about II o'clock last night
week.
According to the testimony of the
men, they were registered at the hotel
as the husbands of the women.
Byrne testified that his loss was S27,
as near as he could recollect. The
money was in leather wallet, and he
identified the one in the hands of the
police as his property. He said he and
his companion met the Curtis woman
and her companion and by appoint
ment all four went to the Hotel West
ern, and after being there thiee-
quarters of an hour an alteration arose
and the women started away. Byrne
called them back, but they did not re-
turn. After the women had gone he
examined his pockets and missed his
pocketbook. He told Wright he had
Dptu COpbbu auu thO lnbgVl CIV htot
upbfaided him, but afterward found
that he had also been robbed. The
matter was reported to the police and
the arrests followed.
Capt. Black said after the matter
was reported to him he sent out orders
to arrest the women and at about ]. *
O'Clock they were picked up by
Sergeant McDermott and Patrol Officer
Collins while Cd their way to the police
station. The theft Of the money was
| admitted.
Wright gave similar testimony tt
that of Byrne. He said his loss was
SO. The testimony of the men with
regard to the money loss did not agree
with the amounts in the warrants, th,
latter amounts agreeing with the none,
found on the prisoners. The womel
had no defence and each was held il
5000 for the Court of General Sessions
Benjamin DEM was accused of beinf
guilty of improper conduct TOWARD

MISHAP At MARCUS NOOK.

Philadelphia, Pa, March t. The
steamer MISSIONER, from Jacksonville
for this city, was seriously damaged
this morning. by coiliding with one OF
the stone ice Eiers in the Delaware
River at Marcus Hook, 20 miles below
Philadelphia. The weather was very
thick ut the time, and the Westoyer
struck the pier bow first. Her entire
bow from three feet above the water
line was. torn away, and her forward
compartments filled with water. The
collision bulkhead was all that saved
her from sinking.
!, The MISSIONER is commanded by Capt
Joy, and is a vessel of 3OS tons.
