AN ASTRONOMICAL TRUST.
Prof. Pickering, of Harvard, Pro-
jee4s q Combine which VIII Ad-
vance Cause OF Science.

Prof Pickering, of the Harvard OBJ
servatory, is said to be projecting a
combination Of all the astronomical
observatories in the world, so that
their combined capital or endowments
can be used by all.
The aggregate working capital is
close to s10, ,oO0,o ,ooO. and there are enor-
nous incomes. Prof. Pickering thinks
there is too much money wasted in
making observa tions, and too much
needless competition. His plan is to
distribute more equitably the work
ing funds and the staffs, as some sta
tions have too many men at work and
others too few.
Harvard would be Gust odian of the
funds, including Carnegie institute and
the National academy, distributing
them to the best advantage for the
science.

Government stilI Undecided d As to tn e
Real Value of the Women Inn
mig ration Inspectors

The commissioner of immigration
has sent to the treasury department
report covering the second 80 days
work Of the female inspectors appoint
ed for the purpose of boarding incom-
ing vessels TO prevent the landing of
persons of improper character in the
United States. This report is similar
to that covering the FIRST 50 days of the
female inspectors work, and makes
it evident to the officials that the ends
sought to be attained cannot be ac-
complished successfully by the detail
ing of women inspectors on the ships.
The women will be given another 80
days trial, after which the president
and the secretary of the treasury will
decide whether or not their services
shall be continued.

Famine Prevailing in China Drives
Husbands TO Desperate
Measures.

The famine in the province Of
kwangSi. China, shows no sign of i'm
provement. Numerous cases the peo-
pie have been reduced to such straits
that husbands are selling their wives
and children TO prevent their starving
to death, as their purchasers will sup
ply them with food to save their own
lives with the money obtained for
them. Sir Henry A. Blake, governor
of Hong Kong, is organizing relief for
the sufferers.

Machine Plunges from Bridge and he
Is Killed-His Companion
Badly Injured.

Rockford, ILL.,, Oct. 22.-George A. Ben
nett, one Of the most prominent citi-
zens Of Marengo, ILL.,, was killed in an
automobile accident at Harmony, six
miles southeast of Marengo, Friday
afternoon. Robert Willard, his cousin,
who accompanied him, was SO severely
injured that his recovery is doubtful.
Mr.. Bennett, who was driving the ma
chine. had gone into the country on
business, taking Mr.. Willard with him.
On the way they met rural mail wagon.
The mules which the carrier was driv-
ing were afraid of the automobile, and
Mr.. Bennett paid more attention to them
than he did to his machine. He touched
a lever with the intention of stopping
the automobile, but in his confusion
caught the wrong one and turned the
machine sharply to one side and over
a small bridge, the drop being about
ten feet. The machine toppled over on
the men. Mr.. Bennett was unconscious
when removed and lived only about one
hour. Mr.. Willard was horribly man.
gled about the head and chest. Both
victims Of the accident are among the
most widely known residents of the
county. Mr. Bennett was for many
years supreme secretary of the Patrons
of Industry. He entered the United
States mail service some years ago and
at the time Of his death was rural route

HosTILlTIEs THREATENED.
Two Hundred Armed Men Said to Re
Preparing to Attack Pana-
anna Government.

Colon. Oct. 22.-News reached here
Friday evening that about 200 armed
men, who are thought to be malcon-
tent Panamans, rather than Colombian
soldiers, have been seen in the neigh
borhood of Culebra, threatening hos
tilities against the Panaman govern
ment. As soon as the American au-
thorities Of the canal zone became cog
infant of this force, marines were sent
out to ascertain their purpose. It is
rumored that skirmish occurred in
land, in which several were killed, but
there is no confirmation Of this re-
port.
Washington, Oct. 22.-Assistant Sec
rotary Darling said that, SO far as he
was aware, no advices had been re-
cetved at the navy department of the
reported skirmish between United
States marines and Panamans on the
isthmus. At this time the navy has
about $50 marines on the isthmus, a
sufficient force, in the opinion of the
administration, to cope with any Diff
fculty which is likely to develop.
