stauuton's Water Supply.

The statement that it was forty min
utes before water was available in Staun-
tons last fire, repeated throughout the
State, is erroneous. The water was
ready almost as soon
could adjust their apparatus. The fire
gained no Roadway whatever for lack
of a prompt supply of water.
The other point. however, is well Ia
ken that there would be no necessity
for shutting off the water if Staunton

THE MEETING DISAGREEABLE.
EETING DISAGREEABLE+
There Were Factions or Strained Relations
and Any Amount of Lobbying
Was Done.

The minister made an eloquent Grafton
on Washington, but the desired Mr.. Long
did not appear After an impatient pc
Tiod of waiting. General Horatio King, OF
New York, was introduced by Mrs. Man
King, who, she said, would kindly fill the
gap.
General king remarks were not cal
culated TO be especially entertaining; GER
tainly not to one-half of his audience, as
he launched forth into a culogy on Sher-
man, Sheridan, Grant and Lincoln.
He spoke slightingly of the South's part
in the Civil War. Miss Van Lew, he de-
clared, was ''tilc one loyal woman in the
entire South" He gave quite Il disserta-
ton on her great aid to the North, and
said the soldiers revered and loved her,
took off their hats and waved the flag
whenever they passed her door. There
was much of this. His remarks on the
South were not only not fatternG, but
positively insulting. After he had spo-
ken for about half an hour his audience
hecamo restless and many began to
leave the hall.
THE BAND PLAYED DIME.
AS about half of the gathering was
composed Of Southern women, this speech
WAS not pleasant TO sensitive ears. And

We're equally displeased. since they recog-
niZed the lack OF courtesy and utter in
appropriateness. the address being to
the Daughters q the Revolution and not
the Daughters OF the Civil War.
General King saw that he had made Il
mistake. and thought it was time to beat
Il. hasty retreat. Just when feeling was
at fever heat Mrs. Manning, the retiring
president. with admirable tact gave
word to the Marine Band to play Dixie.
The effect was electrical. The emotions.
strained to the highest notch. were not
difficult TO sway and in the Very open-
ing bars of that inspiring strain. cheer
after cheer rent the air. Women stood
on benches, waved their arms, their
wraps. their hats. Mrs. Lindsay. wife of
the Senator of kentucky, and one of the
most popular women of the Congress.
waved a. huge bunch of roses round and
round and finally all the women who
carried flowers followed suit and show

saces of appreciation.

man had saved the day.

OF the less striking discoveries made
by comparison of Photographic plates
Mrs NJ Fleming. curator of astronomical
photographs at the Harvard Observatory,
has six to her credit; naturally enough
perhaps, for the Harvard Observatory is

her duty to examine the plates sent to
Headquarters from its various stations
OF the eight stars already mentioned.
she deserves tho credit of having found
all but the two discovered by DR.. An
dcrSon.
It is a fact also that Nova Persei WAS
seen in this country almost at the same
moment that it was discovered at Edln-
burgh This does not, however, detract
from the credit OF DIR. Anderson, for his
possible American rival q young wo-
man of Vassar College, not only failed to
realize the Importance of her discovery,
but made it in reality one hour later
the difference in time between the two
places accounting for this hour in his
favor even though nominally the star
was seen in Poughkeepsie at II O'Clock on
the night of February goth and observ-

THE CENTRE
Such news comes first to the Harvard
Observatory as the distributing centre of
astronomical intelligence on this side OF
the water. 1t is here that all such intel
ligence is reported from the various sta
tons or the western continent, such news
being then transmitted to the Niel OBJ
scrVatory in North Germany. which
holds the same relation to the astronom-
ic interests of the old world. In like
fashion The Kiel Observatory reports
TO Cambridge. and the latest astronomic
news of Europe become almost the
instant familiar TO al American astrono-
mers.
The discovery Of q new star is a. event
o. great Importance TO the large army
Of astronomers, professional ;Ind amateur,
constantly scanning the heavens. In the
last fourteen years only eight new stars
have been discovered, and the receipt Of
