MR.. o'BoYLE's ORDINANCE.
1t Will Be Considered by License
Committee TONIGHT

The license committee of select co,ln-
Gil is to meet tonight to consider the
ordinance introduced by Select Couu-
Gilman O'Boyle about two months ago,
providing for a tax of 500 on each of
the cars owned by the Scranton Rail-
way company.
1t is generally understood that the
committee will report unfavorably on
this ordinance, because the majority of
the members feel that this is not a suf-
ficiently high tax when the fact is
taken into consideration that the
Muehlbronner bill places no limit upon
the amount which may be collected
from street railway companies in the
way of a license tax.

Europe.s Greaf Statesman.

By curious coincidence Henry Nor
mans fifth article on Russia, in the
March Scribner's, deals with the career
and economic triumphs of Serge Yulie-
vich White, the Russian minister OF
finance, whose recent tariff measures
have brought CONSERVATION to some
American manufacturers. The au-
thor's reference to Nj. de Whites tariff
war with Germany in 1893 is especially
interesting in view of the present
American episode. In that contest he
showed rare powers for handling
colossal economic issues with holiness
and determination. Since that time"
says Mr.. Norman, This high tariff
neighbors have taken good care to
give him no ground for reprisals."
Many Americans will be surprised to
learn on such good authority that M.
de White is probably the ablest and
most far-seeing statesman in Europe
today, and certainly no other exer-
cises so great an influence as he upon
| the course of events" He is So years
of age and has had a noteworthy ca
| reer. His father was of German de-
scent and his mother belonged to one
of the Oldest families of Russian
mobiles. After graduation from the uni
versity of Odessa he entered journal
ism for time and then accepted q
modest post on the Odessa railway.
Here he rose rapidly from grade to
grade, at length becoming manager
of several railways. While acting in
this capacity it became his duty to
accompany an imperial train that met
a terrible disaster at Borki, in which
the car and his family narrowly es-
capped death. NJ. de Whites action in
this crisis won the admiration Of the
czar, and he was ordered shortly after
ward to come to st. Petersburg and
take the post of director of railways.
By the beginning of 1898 he had risen
by his unaided ability to the place
of minister of finance, the highest ad.
ministrative post in the Russian en-
: pire.

A .NesU HeaUenly Visitor.

In mid-sky new star Is blazing, |
challenging the eminence of the bright
est of the heavenly bodies. A search
of the photographs OF the heavens
taken every clear evening at Harvard
now shows that on Feb. IS there was
present in the place now filled by the
glowing stranger a faint, modest little
spark, far too dim to be caught by the
unaided eye. Something happened TO
that pin hole in the black canopy Of
night and made new sun OF tia
sun so huge and bright that our own
could probably be swallowed up in 1t
and the inhabitants of worlds as far
away as we are from it would never
know it. There is a theory about 1t,
OF course, theory that sullen, black,
burned out sphere, dead giant of the
skies whirling through unthinkable
distances, was cast into cloud Of
nebulae or vapor, and the grinding
OF the cloud dust has set 1t af1ame
again. And now it is blazing like
torch, and all the telescopes of wonder
ing earth are pointed at it. and all the
astronomers are trying to read the
message to science that is being
flashed from the zenith.
Name of The Metz VfSrfor.
The new star Nova Persei so called
because it is in the constellation of
Perseus) is one Of the brightest stars
visible. This is how to find it:
First look at Capella, which is the
very brightest star close to the zenith
in the early evenings at present. then
look directly west. A triangle Of ordi-
nary stars will be found with Nova
Persei directly in the middle.
Persei is about twice as far from the
North star as from Capella. It is fully
as bright as Capella. The triangle is
made up of Alpha Persei, Beta Persei
and Epsilon Persei. The new star is
near the border of the Milky Way in
the constellation Perseus. The bright
est new star ever previously known is
Tycho's star. discovered in 1872. This
also appeared in the edge of the Milky
Way, and Kepler's new star, in 1904
likewise was in the Milky Way.
It is probable the new star is very
distant. None has ever been seen near
enough to afford sensible parallax
Its distance is probably not less thar
six millions of times the distance o.
the earth from the sun. Its sudden in
crease OF brightness is not due to it
coming nearer-although it may be do
ing that-but to growth of intensity il
