LOOKING FOR METEORs.

Last year. in November. a great me.
teor shower was expected and many
were watching TO catch glimpse Of
the predicted celestial phenomenon But
they were disappointed Now Profess
sor Frederick L. Chase, Of the Yale
observatory, in letter 10 the New
York Mail and Express, says there
Is a good prospect Of witnessing this
month the shower that failed to appear
a year ago.
Two explanations ore offered for the
failure OF the Astronomical prediction TO
come true last year one Is that since
the shower in lS66.67-6S. the planet Ju-
piter has passed close to the portion Of
the orbit containing the meteors due
In 1899 and has, according to calucula-
lions, 50 perturbed their path as 10
make them cross the plane Of the
earth's orbit several hundred thousand
miles inside that orbit
Another Is. that there was a dearth
Of meteors In the portion OF the swarm
encountered in 1893 II Is possible says
Dr. Chase, that the portion Of the
stream due at the intersection Of the
earth's orbit this year, has not been
disturbed by the influence Of Jupiter
In the same way as that Of last year
with the possibility In view Of the
appearance Of the meteors this year the
Yale astronomers have made extensive
Preparations FOR their observation. The
general public will also once more
watch for the brilliant phenomenon,
which Is supposed TO be due to the pass
Ing before mortal view OF the remains
Of an exploded world

DECREASE OF POPULATION.

Attention IL called to the fact that
the State OF Nevada, according 10 the
latest census returns again shows a
decrease In population. When that
state was admitted to the Union, It had
q population OF over $1,000, The census
of 1890 showed a population OF not quite
5000 and the present census gives only
l2,35t Nevada, since 1850, has lost In
habitonts at the rate Of one thousand
year.
At the present rate OF representation
IN Congress Of one for each i73sOi In
habitants, Nevada Is entitled 10 one
fourth vote In the national legislature.
This is an anomaly which would seem
to call fOr some action by Congress. II
the decadence In population continues,
there can be no other outcome than the
apportlonment OF Nevada among the
neighboring States.

Whether the burghers still In arms
against British authority IN South
Africa are many or few they are caus-
Ing considerable apprehension among
the loyal colonists because Of their ex-
traOrdinary activity. 1t Is even sus-
pected by some that the disarmament Of
volunteers has been premature. If SO,
the act VIII cast a reflection on Lord
Roberts who has been model Of eau
tlousness and discretion. This suspicion
seems to be confirmed by General Bra
bants appeal TO the men OF Cape Col
ony 10 enlist In the irregular forces, the
recruiting Of which has been intrusted
to him. Brabant explains that the re-
turn OF refugees TO the disturbed dis
trcts Is as yet Impossible. Another UNI
favorable sign Is found IN the repressiye
measures adopted by the British.

NEWPORT GREETS
 HELEN COULD
Americas Philanthropist Prom iSes to Enter the Gay
 Portals of Society

A new element is to be added to New port Helen Miller Gould, Americas Flor ence Nightingale. the girl of philanthropy and millions, is to take herself, her brother and her household to Newport to spend the summer months in that palatai city by the sea It is safe to say that she ana all that belong to her will be welcomed into the very heart of Newport society.
 If Miss Gould, as an untried girl years ago. had ventured at societys inner DOT tals. before she had demonstrated her ht- ness for the great world. there might have been some doubt about her admission, for society's circle is full one. But having won her spurs, as it were, and having been honored by public and private reward as few women have ever been honored. New port feels that it is to be congratulated Tn having Miss Gould come to dwell In It's midst.

nifcent dwelling on Fifth avenue. but the home to which she goes is worthy of her selection.
 The household, it is said, will consist of Miss fGould's brother Frank, who is the only unmarried Gould boy, and her cous- in; besides these, Miss Gould has many young friends who visit her continually
 It is hardly to be expected that she will devote herself to society entirely, nor that she will dance until in the morning. only to reappear at 9 in the morning at the beach, all elegantly gowned in a morning dress, as fresh though there had been no nights dissipation; nor is it to be sup posed that she will take part in the sen- sational theatricals which are so much a part of Newport. It is more as a chate- laine that Miss Gould will go to Newport keeping house exquisitely but quietly, and entertaining only in a modest way.
 HER BUSY LIFE.
 Helen M. Gould, the young girl whose every movement has come to be of inter- est to the American public, is still on the sunny side of thirty. Her father died eight years ago, leaving six children, George, Edwin, Helen Howard, Anna and Frank. A fortune estimated at not less than one hundred millions was left in business trust for them, the management to be in the hands of the "beloved son." George None of the family were at that time over thirty years old. and Jay Gould himself was only fifty-eight at the time of his death
 As the sons and daughters grew into ma- turity they married, the most notable we'd ding being that of Anna, who, at the age of 18 married the Count Castellane. How ards marriage to Katharine Clemmons oc- cured two years later.
 While the others were engaged in their own personal pursuits. Miss Gould was de1otihg herself to the life work which she had chosen, namely, that of helping the world by her benefactions.
 Her first great work was the building of

this object and nearly all will be consid- cred in the plans, but one thing will be absolutely necessary; the entire length of the canal must be carefully patrolled by a suitable force of infantry and cavalry, and the points that are the weakest in a military sense must be covered by redoubts and armed with rapid-fire and machine guns.
 Of course all this will cost money. At present conservative estimates place the expenditure at a sum not less than $9,0O0,- 900, and it is figured that it will require the services of nearly 6,000 soldiers to prop erly protect the canal. Under these cir cumstances it is possible that the govern ment may decide to allow the waterway to remain unprotected, but it is safe to say that if it is to be fortified at all the amount of money to be expended will scarcely be considered. If the work Is done at all, it will be done thoroughly, and some such plan as that now suggested will have to be adopted.

A story is told of how a young friend was married to man poor. but worthy On their return from a brief wed ding journey the couple found a neat lit- tie cottage all furnished and presented in the name of Helen Miller Gould as a we'd ding gift,
 A much more pretentious gift was an immense home at Tarrytown, N. T., erect ed for the training of little cripples.
 Hundreds of these unfortunate children are sheltered at Woody Crest. which gives them a pleasant home, teaches them the manual arts and fits them to earn living in the world.
 At the breaking out of the Spanish war Miss Gould volunteered her services to as- sist the ladies in the management of sup plies. She systematized the office. paid clerks out of her own purse, bought car loads of needed material and was ever ready with her check book. One day nurse came to her Miss Gould, we are trying to raise money to buy an ambu- lance. It is absolutely needed at our new camp. I wonder how we can manage 1t.
 ''I think this will be the best way said Miss Gould; and, taking out her check book, she signed her name to an amount sufficient to pay for the ambulance.
 At the close of the war congress ten dered her a vote of thanks and the military organizations sent testimonials to her. For services rendered during the Windsor fire, the New York fire department voted her a letter of thanks and gave her the free- dom of the fire lines She also received a vote of thanks as a life saver
 HER FUTURE.
 Meanwhile Miss Gould has been living, not the life of a heroine, but one of pri- vacy Though not a great society girl, she has entertained many distinguished people, and her New York home is seldom empty
