STAR BETHLEHEM FOUND
fDenver Cor. Philadelphia Times1

lDenver Cor. Philadelphia Times
A few nights ago Daniel E. Parks, n
well known attorney of Denver. and an
enthusiastic astronomer was sweeping
the heavens with his telescope when he
came upon a new celestial body for
which he could not account. 1t appeared
from its formation to be d glowing mass
of hydrogen and nitrogen, and to be
heading toward the earth. 1t was found
between the consultations of Aries and
CassiOpia-that is, in the north of the
heavens-about midnight. The Star of
Bethlehem is supposed to have appear
ed in about the position of the star de-
Scribed by Mr.. Parks.
Now, there are two theories as re-
CARDS the Star of Bethlehem Until re-
cent years the Interpretation of this
phenomenon by theologians and believers
generally conceded with the obvious
facts of the Biblical narrative The
Star in the East, which appeared to the
Magi and led them to the Savior, and
which was seen by the shepherds. keep
ing their nightly watch on the plains
near Bethlehem, was apparently miracu-
lous. The whole matter was regarded . IS
supernatural, forming a portion Of that
divine prearTangenent whereby the
Father acknowledged the Son
But with many people a very different
opinion has gradually become prevalent
The star has been displaced from the
category Of the supernatural and mirac-
ulous, and has been referred to the ordi-
nary astronomical phenomenon of a
conjunction Of the planets Jupiter and
This idea originated with KepIer, one
of the founders of modern astronomy, as
far back as the seventeenth century. He
supposed that if he could identify a con-
junction of the abOVe-named planets
with the Star of Bethlehem he would
thereby be able to determine as the
basis of certainty the exact date Of the
birth of the Savior, a matter concerning
which there has always been dispute.
kepleriS suggestion has been worked
out in the present century by Dr. Ideler
of Berlin 1t seems, then. according to
the calculations of both these men, that
a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn
took place about or a. the time of the
birth of Christ. the conjunction occur
ring not far from the first point of
Aries. In fact, there were three con-
functions al the time, and in the first
two conjunctions the interval between
the planets amounted to no more than a
degree, so that to the unassisted eye the
rays of the one planet were absorbed in
those of the other, and the two bodies
would appear as one.
The two planets went past each other
three times, came very near together
and showed themselves all night long
for months in conjunction with each
other as if they would never separate
again.
Their journey is supposed to have oc-
cupied several months. It is supposed
that the last conjunction OF the two
planets took place when the Magi enter
ed Jerusalem In the clear atmosphere
of the East the planets would present a
far more brilliant appearance than they
would from our point Of view, Jupiter
especially presenting a brilliant appari-
ton, being at its nearest approach both
10 the sun and to the earth.

THE NEWS AT OYSTER BAY.
Gov. Roosevelt Waited For Returns

received returns at his home on Saga
more Hill The governor at no time dur
ing the evening seemed anxious about
the result. He did not make any spe-
cial arrangements to receive the news,
and depended on messages to be brought
from the telegraph Office nearly three
miles away. The first definite informa-
ton of Republican victory was convey
ed to the governor about 10 o'clock He
was in the reception room with his wife
and daughter. When he appeared at the
door to meet a reporter, he was clad in
full evening dress. He invited his visitor
into the parlor, and closely serutinized
the returns and briefly commented on
the result After reading the messages
he said: isn't that fine? 1t shows
what the American people are. 1t shows
they want the good times to continue,
and are in favor of honest money and
are for the flag"
The governor at once dictated the fol-
lowing dispatch to President Mckinley:

over the result.

MAN PAWNS MONEY.
Puts Up Five Dollars In Gold and
Gets Loan of $3.50.

Cincinnati. Nov. Tt is not often thai
a person pawns money, but such is the
case with a man well known about the
city, whose name is withheld. AS far as
known. this is the second time that
money mas been put in pawn In Cincin =
natl. Today the man walked into the
office OF a Vine street pawn broker and
put up a s. gold piece for $3.50 He said
nothing, but quietly pocketed the money
and walked out. If he redeems the
money within so days he will have to
pay S4-95 to get it and if not he will
have to pay 45 cents every month to
save it. The matter leaked out about
police circles, and there was some sur
prise expressed that a man would pawn
money, and the only explanation offered
is that it is probably a pocket piece and
that it has some associations that caus-
ed the man to want to keep it.
