ing contractors and the masons and
bricklayers of this city have entered
upon struggle that may lead to seri-
Gus results The condition came as a
result of demand by the journeymen

COMET is BRILLIANT.
New Heavenly Visitor of Striking APP
pearance

Elkhorn, Wis, April 30.-The new
comet which was observed Sunday
morning at the Yerkes observatory at
Williams Bay is the brightest that
has appeared for nineteen years. 1t
was discovered at Queenstown on
April % and observed at Cape of Good
Hope on April %. It's position at that
time was about sixteen degrees south
west of the sun. It's position yester-
day was some fifteen degrees north of
the sun indicating very rapid north
easterly movement. ,
Professor E. r. frost, assisted by F.
r. Sullivan, saw the new comet ap-
pear above the horizon Sunday about
twenty minutes before sunrise 1t
could be plainly seen, although the
sky was quite light. 1t was of an
orange color, with two prominent
streamers. 1t remained visible until
fifteen minutes or more after sunrise,
when it faded away in the growing
light.

Officials at Washburn observatory
looked for the comet yesterday morn
ing and last evening, but were unable
to see it. 1t has three tails and is
near the sun. The exact motion of
the comet is not known. 1t will take
three observations TO determine its
motion and orbit before anything
definite can be told about it.

Cheese 1t.
Cheese it, is in an English slang
dictionary of 1911, and the definition
shows that the phrase was then used
in the same sweet sense as that Of to-
day. And the phrase came banging and
humping down the last century. The
ingenious George Augustus Sala in his
"Gaslight and Daylight" 1859) wrote
in the chapter "strollers at Dumble-
downdeary" about young Harry, who
held earnest parley with members of
the upper gallery who were pelting him
and his friends with nutshells and
broken piles. 1.-TWO or three 'hallos!
and now, thens!' accompanied by a
strong recommendation to Cheese it.
Ii. e., act of cessation), cause these
trifing annoyances to cease" You
see that Mr.. Sala thought it necessary
to explain the phrase to his genteel
audience. The dictionaries all say that
Cheese it" is thought to be corrup-
tion of "cease It. Maybe they think
SO. We.are inclined to believe in a
more remote derivation. "Cease it," Is
too easy.-Boston Journal.
