LUNAR ECLIPSE HAD
ASTRONOMICAL VALUE
Prof. Pickering, at Harvard, Discovers
the Crater Lime Covered With
Hoarfrost.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 1S.-Sub-
sanitation of important theories was
obtained by Harvards astronomical au-
thorities in their observations of tht
lunar eclipse. The observations con
eerned themselves principally with TIC
crater Lime and were carried on by
Prof. w. H. Pickering. who carefully
measured the area around the, crater be-
fore and after the eclipse with mi
crometer, and confirmed all his past oh
servations that the bright spot grew no
uceably In area during the time OF
maximum darkness.
For many years It has been noticed
that the area around Lime has been
gradually changing It's form. and many
conjectIreS as to the reason have been
advanced Prof. Pickering has always
maintained that the light from the spot
is that OF hoarfrost, though he has real
lied that it may be reflected light. The
fact that the spot grew perceptfblv
larger when tho suns heat was cut OFF
last night by the interposition of the
Garth confirms Prof Pickering in his
hoarfrost theory. He is now practically
settled upon that point and hopes with
this as basis to work out pet theory
of his own concerning the earth's big
satellite. What this theory is he will
not say
AS far as photographs and the makina
OF occultations were concerned. the Ell
forts OF HaTvdrd's observers were vir-
tually failures. This was due to the
clouds which obscured the moon during
the critical period of its full eclipse, AMI
il came as severe disappointment to
the professors engaged in visual ami
Photographic observation.

GIFTS TO BoER GENERALS.

BERLIN. Oct 1s.-The Boer generals
attended a luncheon this afternoon
which was held under the auspices of the
united Boer committee. Prof Hasse
the chairman. said that the committee
had collected $4,000 marks. The greater
part of this, including 100000 marks,
which had been handed to the generals
since their arrival in Berlin, had al
ready been expended. The concert OF
the Philharmonic Society last night for
the benefit of the fund realized nearly
II 600 marks. He added that sums rang
ing from 20 to 5000 marks were coming
in at intervals
A correspondent saw two poor girls
enter the hotel where the generals are
stopping today and hand an envelope
containing fifteen marks out of their
savings to General De Wet. whose hands
they enthusiastically kissed. This is
not a solitary case by any means.

MRS. FRONlE PAELSKE
CHARGED WITH STEALING
Arrested at Local Department Store
She Refuses to Give Her
History.

Mrs. Fronie Paelske, middle-aged
woman. was arrested in one OF the de-
partment stores yesterday afternoon on
the charge of shoplifting. and Is held at
the House of Detention pending her ar
raignment in Police Court tomorrow
morning About 3 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon telephone message was re-
ceived from the manager of the place re-
questing that a detective be sent there
TO take the woman into custody.
Sergeants Helan and McNamee were
detailed. and they learned that the wom-
an was charged with having stolen three
pairs of kid gloves. hair bow and three
yards of black silk ribbon. The woman
said she had been in Washington less
than year. but beyond this declined tos
make any statement in regard to herself.

contingent nominated George d. Rey-
nolds, very respectable citizen and a
high class lawyer, and the Kerens con-
tingent nominated two candidates. one
FOR the short term and one for the long.
One Of the Republican newspapers in st.
Louis is supporting Reynolds and the
other the Kerens candidates. Both the
Democratic papers in the city have bolted
Butler.
The Sc. Louis machine is Democratic
and has made something of stand for
decency, but il has been powerless 20
stop Butler. The head OF the machine
is at Jefferson City. Governor Dockery
doesn't like Butler, but Dockery doe:
like votes. If the machine wanted to do
it 1t could defeat Butler. 1t could even
have eliminated him this year as fac
tor in St. Louis politics. But it would
have given much the same sort OF per-
formance as when Samson pulled the
Temple down on himself and all the
ether people he did not like.
Afraid to Interfere.
The Democratic machine figured ii out
that if it interfered too much with But
Ter he might take his fifteen thousand
Indians into the Zeigenhein camp and
defeat the Democratic ticket. With an
apathetic situation in the country it
would have been decidedly dangerous
for the machine to have gotten into q
quarrel with Butler. and so the good has
been Jumped with the bad in Democratic
circles as against a situation thorough
ly bad in Republican circles.
The politicians of st. Louis have tho
greatest contempt for what is known as
the reformers. Every man who strives
for decency and talks above a whisper
about municipal corruption is contempt

The Solar Walkers" are not organized

STORY OF FINDING DR..
BATES BELIEVED A FAKE
Has Not Been Heard of by
His Father in This City.

Charles A. Bates, of 1884 V Street
northwest, has received no word of late
in regard to the whereabouts of his
son. DR.. William Bates, who mysteri-
ously disappeared from New York sew
eral weeks ago. A report published in
an afternoon newspaper in New York
yesterday that DR.. Bates had been found
by his wife in the Charing Cross Hos
pital. London, was news to the father
in this city. He has received no con-
firmation of the report, and does not
credit it,
About ten days ago detectives in New
York city reported that their agents in
London had searched the Charing Cross
Hospital in vain for his son. Mrs. DR..
Bates, he stated last evening, had been
in communication with him, and he felt
sure would have cabled him had she
found her husband. His last word
from her was that she would sail for this
country yesterday
The general belief here-!s that the
London correspondent Of the evening
New York paper is taking in his dispatch
to the effect that Mrs Bates had found
her husband at the Charing Cross Hos
pital. In fact 1t was learned here on the
day Mrs. Bates sailed from New York
about two weeks ago that her husband
was not at the institution named.
Message Fortnight Ago.
Mr.. Bates. Of this city. father of the
physician, received message stating
that no one answering the description of
his son was in the hospital. He tele-
graphed to New York in an effort to reach
his daughter-in- before she sailed for
England, but the boat had left the dock
when the message arrived.
DR.. Bates was a famous eye specialist,
with luxurious Offices in New York He
disappeared August 80, and all efforts
to locate him have been without result.
On the da: he disappeared he left word
that he was going to perform some i'm.
portant operations. When he did not re-
turn it was believed he had met with
foul play. Eao
The London dispatch to the New York
paper contains graphic description of
the meeting of husband and wife, the
swooEing of the latter. and the par:
taken by her husband in reviving her.
1t says his memory was quickened By
the meeting. and that while his mind on
many matters is now a blank, there Is
hope of his complete recovery. AS be-
fore stated. however. the story is
thought to be pure fabrication. 81

DEATH ENDS CAREER
OF BARBARIAN" BROWN
Consumption Kills Adven-
turous Mining Engineer.
A SOUTH AFRICAN EXPLOIT
Staked OFF 1000 Valuable Mining
Claims in the Rand and Perfected
Title by Heliograph Signals.

News has been received here of thu
death in Arizona of r. E. l.. Brown, a
mining engineer. who has had an ad-
venturous career on two continents. A
claim filed by him against the govern
ment Of the late South African Republi,
for 81. .O0O, 600 is pending in the State De-
partment.
During the troubles in the Occur
d'Alene region of Idaho. where he was
engaged in mining, MIR. Brown partici-
pated actively in the attempts to sup
press the rioting which occurred in 1892.
He was known there as Barbarian
Brown, from the fact that he published
a newspaper In the interests of the mine
owners. which he called the Bar
barian.'' s-
Office an Arsenal.
Efforts by the strikers to wreck his
printing establishment and to prevent
men and boys from distributing copies
of the paper caused Mr.. Brown to con-
vert his newspaper building into veri-
table arsenal, He had cannon placed Ia
front of the building. and threatened to
fire them at the rioters If they inter-
fered with his business or his employees.
After the Idaho troubles, Mr.. Brown
went to South Africa. He made
speech at johannesburg just before the
Jameson raid. advising workingmen not
to assist those who were attempting to
overthrow President Kruger's govern
ment. This speech won him the title
of Marc Antony" Brown.
His most notable exploit in South
Africa was in stalking off about a thou
sand valuable mining claims in Wit
fontein, an extension of the Rand. Un-
der the law opening up this valuable
territory it was necessary for prospec-
tive settlers to wait until the nearest
landdrost read the proclamation opening
the land to mining entry. and men on
the field were forbidden to stake out
claims until they had been advised as
to the number of licenses issued.
Distanced Rivals.
Some OF the big mining syndicates OBJ
tained jockeys to ride with the required
information to their men in the mining
region. Mr. Brown, however, hello
graphed this information to his agents
in the field, and by the time the jockeys
of his rivals reached the mines Mr..
Browns men had staked off 1000 claims.
After long litigation the high court OF
the Transyaal decided that Mr.. Browns
claim, which had not been recognized
BY the Transvaal government. was legal
and he was awarded judgment for s5.-
coo. 600 President Kruger declined to
recognize the award. and Mr.. Brown
filed a claim with the State Department
for the full amount. The matter is now
before the British government.
Mr.. Brown was native OF Phiiadel-
phia, where his father is a prominent
lawyer He had Offices in London. Phil
adelphia, San Francisco, and Victoria.
B. c., and at 66 Broadway. New York.
He contracted severe cold on a recent
visit to London and this developed into
quick consumption. He had just ar
rived in Arizona when death came.

Kansas City vote is the determining
factor. There is no opposition III the
Democratic party to Cowherd. but the
city alternates between the two parties,

| publican year, Van Horn stands chance
OF election.
Gold Democrat Named.
| In the new Sixteenth district, Lamar.
a gold Democrat, has been nominated
against B. F. RUSSELL formerly sergeant
alarms of the House of Representa-
tives. There is bitter factional fight
being waged in the Democratic party in
| the district over two candidates for the
State senate. Russell's chances de-
pend upon the extent of the Democratic
detection. When the Democrats made
the new district they gave 1t something
like two thousand Democratic majority,
but the quarrel in the party is so Bit
ter that this may be overcome.
The Democratic State .,cket, despite
i the apathy, will probably through force
of habit pull through. Stone is in
| danger, because the kind of opposition
he has never sleeps. 1t works in the
dark and stabs in the back, and 1t knows
where all the close districts are Stone
finds himself weakened by his reputa-
tion for selfishness.. He has forgotten
men who helped him in his bitter fights
in the past, and the new workers who
have come into the field wonder il the
same fate is going to overtake all those
who identify themselves with him. But
despite this weakness, Stone is the best
politician in the State when it comes
to doing things for himself. He is re-
sourceful, tireIess and a good organizer.
Not a New Ambition.
He has had Vests job in mind ever
since he was governor before. He offered
a resolution at the Democratic State Con-
vention of 1896 which declared Vest to
be the choice of the party for the Sen
atorship at that time. Later, Stone had
become such a hero. because of the
16-to-l idolatry, that number of the |
Democratic legislators insisted upon
presenting his name to the Legislature
of 1897.
Stone positively declined to let his
name be considered. He said IL would be
a betrayal of Fest-and besides he must
make some money. The governorship
had left him in debt, and he didn't think
man could go to the Senate bank
rupt without perpetuating his poverty.
Stone came to st. Louis and has made
money. How much nobody seems to
know. In the Senate he would be con-
sidered very poor man, but in the rural
Missouri districts they would call him
rich.

intermissions during which the fall re-
ceived momentary check. The extreme
| decline reached AS points. The selling
of the stock was accompanied by rumors
that the next dividend will be reduced or
| passed. No authoritative information was
to be had on the subject, nor on the many
reports that the marketing of the COM
pany's surplus stock had involved heavy
losses. The weakness of this stock gave
an occasional check to the advance at
other points but did not materially effect
the stronger tendency of the market. Gov
ering by alarmed shorts seemed to play
a part in the advance, especially in the
coalers, which have been freely sold on
rumors that the anthracite miners we're
determined to push demands that would
not be granted. Today equally assured
predictions were heard that there would
be no labor troubles in the coal trade
and that there was no room for dis
satisfaction. There was no authoritative
information on this subject either. An
other case where speculative sentiment
was reversed from that of yesterday was
on the outlook for the winter wheat crop,
on reports of copious rains in Texas and
the Southwest. Buying to cover short
Missouri Pacific. which also had the ad-
vantage of a reported increase in gross
earnings for the first week of March. The
calmness of the money market was the
final factor of general character on
the strength in stocks. The rate for
money is firm and nobody is found to
predict an early relaxation of rates but
feeling was treasured today that there is
no immediate danger of forcing a condi-
tion of stringency. 1t is supposed that
the trust companies are putting out loans
at the higher rates and thus relieving
some of the ressure upon the banks This
shifting of loans from the banks to the
trust companies does not effect any real
strengthening of the money situation as
the cash reserves of the trust companies
are on deposit with the banks and the
ultimate reserve against the loans is thus
unchanged. The foreign exchange mar
ket indicates also that loans are still
being renewed and extended from foreign
lenders. Special strength was shown to-
day by General Electric, Westinghouse
Electric. North American, the Virginia
Carolina Chemical stocks. the Cotton
Oil stocks the Readings and Preoria and
