EXPLAINS MARS LIGHT.

Flagstaff. Ariz., Jan. 9.-The object on
Mars wnlcn L saw on Dec. and was a
bright rrojection near the equator, ex-
tending from part of the planet where
the sun was about to set over into part
where the sun had already set. in ttechni-
cal words, a projsction from the termina-
Tor.
1t was first seen at 4.15 o. clock in the
morning of Deo. 7, and lasted until 5.2O
a. m. On the following morning, also,
it began near the same place at As a.
M, and lasted about an hour. On the
second night 1T appeared at times entirely
separated from the terminator and showed
as an isolated bright spot upon the dark
surface of the planet.
Il did not rotateswith the surface. but
etayed near or attached TO the sunset
line. All this took place lin the light
areas north OF the western end or the
Issrian Sea, a branch OF the largest dark
mark on the planet. IL was undoubtedly
a cloud or series or clouds still lighted by
the setting sun after the surface below
was shrouded in darkness.
such an object was first sesn at tns
Lick Observatory in 1870. A number
were seen in 1899, some hundreds were
seen here, in 1894 and many in 1896. This
is, believe, the first one seen at this
appostion. A long discussion OF them
was given In the. first volume. OF the an
nails OF this observatory. It showed that
they were clouds forming usually at sun
set. -,

story of sB Alleged Hazing Case In
colby College.

A Bangor paper published a story OF
an alleged hazing case at Colby college
in which It was alleged that William
Phillips, Freshman residing in Ban
gor, had received ipjuries at the hands
OF upper oiassmen which had brought on
sickness which might result in death. IL
was alleged that the injuries were re-
oeived while the young man was being
initiated into the Delta Epsilon Frater-
nifty. A waterville despatch In relation to
the matter says:
Late this afternoon, President Newen-
ham OF the society received a telephone
message from Mr.. q. IL. Phillips, father
of william Phillips, stating that there
was no truth in the statement published
this morning that his sons condition
was due to hazing, He said the first he
knew of the matter was when LIS read tns
story in the morning papers. He added
that he would have the matter corrected
in Bangor, and wished that the same
be done In Matsrville.

THE SNOW STORM.
First Real Arrival for the Season of the
Beautiful White eoveriet-Not Quite
Enough for sIeighing, However.

: About the first snow storm Of this
winter arrived yesterday and 10 was not
much OF snow storm at that. The
clouds that had been lowering In threat
ening manner all of the morning broke
shortly after noon, and then the flakes
began to fall, ana they continued with
more or less force up TO an early hour
this morning. The storm was accom-
panied by wind that drifted the snow
about the street corners, but hardly more
then three or four inches has fallen.
General qualification was expressed
that at last the time had come when
there was to be no more of the disagree
able dust for awhile at least. some OF
the enthusiasts pulled their slsighs out.
and last evening g few of the merry
jingling bells were heard. No delay re-
suited on the railroads, either steam or
electric.

..That reminds me-" said Gov. Crit
tandem Yesterday, "that over thirty years
ago 1 heard Senator Vest tell very
amusing story on himself. which shows
how often, or how occasionally. an In
nooent man must confess guilt to avoid
punisnment. He said he was candi-
date for the legislature in Cooper oonnty
In 1880 against Thomas MoDearmon ana
Judge Walker of this city. 1t was a close
and exciting canvass. involving, In the
daily discussion the approaching seces-
sion and war questions. 1t was VESTS
first candidacy for office, although his
reputation as an orator was rapidly
spreading over Missouri, No one OF the
three candidates favored secession per Sc
that time. Vest was rapidly drifting In
that direction. The friends of the candi-
dates had made personal house-to-house
canvass and each claimed the victory
from three to tive majority. Vest was
suuposed to be in the lead by the mora
disinterssted canvassers. A faw days be-
fore the election story was put afioat
that Vest had stolen three pigs of the
value Of S6 and they mad besn found In
his pig-sty at his residence 10 Boonvills.
Vest said he was SO hard pressed by the
charge and it was doing him SO much
harm that he had to come out and ao-
knowledge that the pigs were found In
his pen. OF else he would be defeated.
"Ihe crowds were large that attended
the daily discussion and the excitement
ran very high. The day before the can
yass closed It was well known throughout
the county that Vest had to meet ths
charge in his next speech either in Boom
VILE or Bunoeton, which caused the crowd
to be unusually large. The partisans or
each candidate were present In great
numbers and seemed SO deeply interested
that no one could foreteIl what would be
the result. Vest, in that peculiarly
happy style OF his was equal to the occas-
ion, He appeared on the hustings In the
best OF humor, and his face was radiant
with Joy. That siivery voice OF his was
as clear as a sunbeam. de said hs had
two sons that had very much or the trait
of many Missourlans about them; they
had traded an old pocket knife. few
cents In money, an old brass ring, and q
fsw other such trnkets to q "nigger" for
the pigs ON the streets OF boonviiie, and
&c was the boys who had put the pigs into
his pen without his knowledge, ana they
were the stolen property and he was ready
to pay for them. As soon ms this expia-
nation was made Vests friends gathered
renewed strength and made the weikin

EVIDENTLY nv ERROR.

Capt. A. F. Lucas was in New
Orle ans during the week and was
interviewed by a Times Democrat
reporter. The captain is quoted
as saying that he Is particularly
sanguine over the prospects of rich
discoveries of oil in the Western
and Southwestern portions of the
State. The I'D. concludes the
article relative to Captain Lucas
visit with the following:
sit is due in great measure to the cap
tain's insistence in the matter that the
Guffey Company is now actively engaged in
drilling for oil a, Anse la Butte.
must be sent down in the earth to a suffi-
Gent depth II may be 1900 feet, and it
may be necessary to go down 1000 feet.
but the captain is of the opinion that oil
will be got in immense quantities some time
before the men engaged in boring have
completed their work in Louisiana
The Times Democrat is evidently
in error The Guffey Company has
done no drilling in this section. 1t
controls several large tracts of lands
which are considered among the
best in the oil fields, but so far
nothing has been done to develop
these lands. Only the Martin and
Jeanerette companies have gone to
the extent of sinking wells. The
Guffey Company has not yet en-
tered the field of operation.

. OIL PROSPECTS.

there seems to be good reason
to believe that before many days
evi denceS of the existence of oil in
this section will be disclosed in a
manner to convince the most
skeptical. 1t is reported that at
Mamou the prospects are very fair.
1t is stated upon what appears to
be good authority that gusher
will be ''brought in" OF course,
no one can be sure that there will
be gusher at Mamou, but if indi-
cations and the observations Of ex-
perienCed drillers and experts count
for anything, the Mamou gusher
will be a reality within the next few
days.
Coming nearer home the pros
poets are Just as good. The Martin
Blackman company is justified in
entertaining the most hopeful anti
cipations. Had it not been for the
immense gas pressure which tenn
porarily interfered with the opera
tons, we are assured by DR.. Car
acristi and other geologists that the
Anse Labutte gusher would now be
throwing up great quantities of the
precious fluid. The Martin Black
man company has had TO overcome
a number Of serious difficulties, but
with comm. ndable energy and un-
swerving faith in the outcome it
has never once thought Of abandon
ing the work. From the start the
Company has shown that it has the
utmost confidence in the Anse La
butte fields and it has been willing
to spend large sum of money 1t
stock olders of this company that
they refused to be discouraged by
unfavOrable signs and disastrous &C
cidents. Should they succeed in
bringing in gusher, they will have
deserved It. Unlike others, the
Martin Blackman and the Jeanerette
companies have not only leased the
lands, but they have given tangible
proof Of their good faith. Those
who have gobbled up the lands,
with out making any efforts toward
exploiting them, are carrying out
neither the spirit nor the letter of
the contracts, but they are de-
priving the owners Of these lands of
benefits which may possibly accrue
from the discovery of oil.

CT EYEZANO.

While much has been said in re-
cent years OF the obliteratlon Of sec
tiona lines and Of the men who
paved the way for a perfect union,
cemented by the ties of genuine
fraternity and the hope of a com
mon destiny, many have overlooked
the fact that Grover Cleveland was
the first president to ignore sectional
prejudices in bestowing high poll
teal honors upon American citizens.
dent CLEVELAND called to his cabinet
Lamar Of Mississippi, Smith Of
Georgia. Garland of Arkansas, Her
bert of Alabama, Carlisle of Ken
lucky. He appointed Lamar and
White OF Louisiana to the United
States Supreme Court, James B
Eustis Of Louisiana ambassador to
Franc, Breckenridge of Arkansas
to Russia, Manning of Louisiana to
Mexico, and many other eminent
SouthernerS were elevated to posi-
tons of great Importance by Presi-
dent Cleveland. For the first time
since the administration of James
Buchanan Southern men of ability
and character occupied their right
full position in the councils of the
nation. And as a matter of simple
justice let the South not forget that
the man who was brave enough to
first recognize its loyalty and states
manship was Grover Cleveland of
whom good word is seldom
spoken nowadays. Even if the
Princeton teacher Of law has fallen
out with the leaders of his party.
he should &c. the credit for the
good he has done. 1t is true that
Grant said "Ler there be peace"
and even Sumner spoke for recon-
ciliation, but Grover Cleveland was
the fist to act and let the South
never cease to thank him for it.

The impression is gaining ground
that President Roosevelt goes about
we'll "heeled." After the first
meeting of the cabinet the s,aid and
dIgnifed statesmen who constitute
the official family of the president,
were surprised to see their siren
uous young chief leave on foot and
unattended for the home of his
sister, the wife of Capt. Cowles Of
the navy.
The president has bagged fercer
game than anarchists. and the
chances are that he would welcome
an attack from the reds if he is on
ly given an opportunity to put a
few bullets where they will do the
most good.
If Theodore Roosevelt will add
one anarchistic scalp to his already
well garnished belt, we are sure the
American people will crown him
with everlasting glory. We don't
know anything that he could do at
this time to more completely win
the appreciation of the people. AS
governor, police commissioner,
warrior, hunter, Mr.. Roosevelt has
achieved lmperishable greatness.
We fervently hope ne will add to his
varied accomplishment by caus
ing at least one red to bite the dust
