course, this would positively be its last

gives rise to three classes OF comets
which may be found in our system. viz.
first, native comets. moving in ellpses

solar system; second, naturaliZed citizens,

come to us as brief visitors, and having
once looked US over, they depart, to-see
us no more forever.
1t Is not strange that in early ages. be-
fore much advance had been made in
astronomy, the unusual appearance OF a
comet should have inspired the world
with dread. But now since we understand
their nature better We should lay that
aside as childish. 1t Is true that il IS
not impossible for comet TO come into
collision with the earth, but IT Is alto
gether improbable. And even should such
an event occur it Is not likely to be very
disastrous to the EARTH because OF the
smallness of the comet. Perhaps II would

though this is not certain. In one in
stance at least, June 30, 1851, the earth
actually passed through the tail OF the
comet, and most people We're not aware
of the fact II. however. a comet OF un-
usual density, or one surrounded by nox-

might be a serious affair for u.s. II would
certainly be fatal 10 the comet.

by the ignorant and the fanatical that

only his natural eyes to find them.
And even now, doubtless there are
many, which, by reason of their
smallness or distance, escape discov-
cry. From two to four are seen every
year, and In 1898 as many as ten were
discovered, which, however, is the
largest number recorded. Most of
these, however, are faint indeed, mere
wisps of light seen only by the as
tronomers. About one in five is bright
enough to be seen without a telescope,
and something like four or five in a
century are bright enough to be Wis
ible in daylight. The last one of this
kind was the comet of 1882 which
many will recall. Another was Do
MATHS comet of 1858, one Of the most
beautiful in many years, and which
has not yet vanished from the MEM
ory of many persons living.
The name comet" is derived from
coma" meaning hair, because the
comet presents a hairy, or nebuluos,
fog-like appearance. This applies to
the head of the comet, which often
looks like a faint, hazy cloud. In the

THE PROSPEROUS EAST
A Phoenix Man Interviews Canadians
 on Reciprocity.

J. w. Walkef, A. J. Edwards and Judge Agnew, president of the White Gold Mining company arrived in the city yesterday morning. That is Judge Agnew came here and Messrs. Walker and Edwards merely returned. The former had been gone since the latter part of June, since when he has visit ed the greater part of the east and spent a considerabl time at various Canadian points. He says that he nev- CT found the east in a more prosperous condition. There is money every where. Strikes in many parts of the country are interfering with manufac- turing and other enterprises but there Is no lack Of confidence. The owners of factories have accepted the si,ua- tion and all of them realize that the strikes must come to aa end some time Some of them are keeping their shops running in a smaller way. and others have joined the strikers in idleness.
 While in Canada MT. Walker made inquiry as to the sentiment concerning reciprocity. There is an impression in this country that all Canada is for reel procity but instead there is a consider able opposition to it. To an American there would seeJa no reason why there should be any opposition at all, for 1t
Arizona republican., 1904-09-17

is plain to be seen that Canada would be the chief gainer in such an arrange ment. The opposition comes from the extreme loyalists who believe that a closer commercial relation with the United States, however beneficial it might be from a commercial point of view, would only be another step in the direction of annexation. The reel procity sentiment is really stronger in the New England and boundary states than it is on the other side of the line
 MT. Walker in the course of his journeying through the country, talked politics whenever he had an opportun- ity. He says that there is no appar- ent reason why the republican ticket should not be elected if one may judge of the promiscuous opinions which he hears on every hand. Judge Parker is everywhere highly spoken of but there is a realization among the peo- pie that in presidential elections men are not voted for and there is every where a general satisfaction with re- publican policies.
 MT. Walker went east on mining business and he says he was success ful beyond his expectations. A contract will be let within thirty days for a twenty stamp mill and other improve ments which will cost not less than S50,00O. He will leave for San Fran cisco within a week or two and from there will make another journey to Chicago. He will get back to PhOe- nix in time to get his share of what he believes will be the greatest pros perity this winter that Phoenix has ever had.

Circumstances of the Accidental Kill-

The body of H. w. Dews, who was fatally shot near the NJ & P round house Thursday night and who died during the evening a the Sisters hos pital will be taken to his former home in St. Joseph, Mo, for interment It will leave this evening, escorted by the bereaved wife and Master Mechanic Leonard of the M. & P. Railway com pany, who was a warm personal friend and fellow workman.
 There seems to have been some unin- tentional oversight on the part of all concerned, in that the attention of the coroner was not called to the tragic incident, and he knew nothing of it till he read an account of it in the paper yesterday. Though there was no doubt about the incident being accidental. there were so few witnesses and the facts were so meaGer that the coro- ner felt it his duty to investigate. It Was evident that at the time of the accident, the weapon was in the hands of Mir. Dews' friends, Ernest E.icson. The latter was so overcome with grief that 1t did hot occur to him that he should take the initiative in reporting the accident to the authorities and hence there was some comment that HOCAiiCu NO e1lAu lO IIle necessity Tor the holding of an inquest
 Coroner Burnett therefore took the same jury that had under considera- tion the case of Mrs. Roos, and at the close of it's session yesterday afternoon 1t viewed the body of Mir. Dews at the undertaking parlOrs. A continu- ance was then taken till this morning at 10 o'clock, when the inquisition will be resumed.
 Constable Redwine was directed to call on MT. Ericson, secure the wea- pon and subpoenae him to attend the inquest, all of which was done. MT Ericson said the weapon belonged to him and was a new automatic gun. The men were examining its mechan- ism and it was in Ericson's hands when it was unexpectedly discharged. It was also learned that two Mexi- can boys named Britz and Felix wit messed the shooting and they with a number of the employees of the railway company who were near by, were also subpoenaed.

The Creche fund has now reached hfty- five dollars, and as the subscription lists were only opened this week, this amount is considered most encouraging
 An effort will be made to double it by the end of the week A number of sub scriptions were received yesterday, and the suggestion that the little folk Of Bir- mingham contribute to the fund for the little waifs at the Mercy Home met with a generout response.
 Yesterdays subscription lists were headed by Master Guerry Cabaniss, the little son of MT. and Mrs. Edward H. Cabaniss. and among the little folk who subscribed yesterday to the children's fund were little Susie Nabb, Charles Stillman. Mildred Kettig, Mary Parke and Rachel London. Some of the older little girls, who have bank accounts of their own, sent their subscriptions. Altogether 1t seemed a Creche day.
 All the money to the Greene fund means that many more warm little frocks and coats for the little ones at the Mercy Home it means that many more happy children.
