COMET IS VISIBLE
Celestial Stranger Can Be Seen in the
Southwestern Sky.

There is a comet visible at the present
time. The astronomers have been
watching Ct for some time past, but be-
cause it does not have a big flaming tail
most people have not observed il. The
celestial visitor is not hard to find,
though. ANY one familiar with the gem
eral appearance Of the skies can easily
detect it. This evening as soon as the
stars are out bright and clear, look
away to the southwest. Two stars of
first or second magnitude viii he seen
close together. One of these is the
comet. 1t has no tail and very little of
the nebulous appearance that is usual
with comets. If you are in doubt as to
which one is the comet, take another
observation do-mOrow evening and you
viii find that one of them has changed
its position. The one that has moved
is the comet. Tt has already passed
perihelion ANA is rapidly receding from
the sun. 1t viii not be visible very
long.
This comet IS so far distant from the
e1ith that it looks small and excites
but little interest IL is now "a long
time since a. really fine comet has ap-
pea1ed in the sky. The last one was
about 1850. People now twenty-five
years Of age have never seen any great
come Wlrile persons sixty years of age
remember several of them. These err
ratio wanderers of the sky, though
numerous, are 1n most cases observable
only through telescopes Occasionally
one comes near enough to the earth to
mlkea grand display but recently they
have kept aloof from the earth. The
one now visible is 50 much like an ordi-
nary star in appearance that most peo-
pie have failed to observe it.

EXCITING FOX HUNT
Colonel James c. Meconnb and Friends
Have Great Sport.

Mr. Foxey Fox yesterday furnished CO..
James c. McComb master Of hounds, and
several other huntsmen the best days
sport OF the season. The fox was raised
in Booths woods and started eastward
over Mr.. Longbotham's stock farm and
then started back again The animal set
hot pace and it was almost impossible
to keep up with the dogs. After about
two hours hard riding he was finally run
to earth on the farm of Mr.. Petit. The
huntsmen present at the hole besides the
genial Colonel were Frank Mahaffy,
George Booth and Uncle Billy Leiper, the
famous granite quarryman Of North
Carolina.
on Tuesday the same gentlemen fa.sed
fox on Col. Henry A. DuPonrs farm,
which for over three hours gave them a
very merry chase without even leaving
the farm The fox was in view on several
occasions, sometimes Just ahead Of the
dogs and again further away. lie was
finally holed just north of the Kennett
Pike. The actions of the animal was a
most remarkable one. In the past week
several foxes hive been caught and with
these expert huntsmen around many more
captures can be looked for.

PRAISES FOOTBALL
James J. corbett, Former Heavyweight
Champion, Favorable to the Game.


"The redeeming feature Of football is
the principle i'm it," says James j. Cor
bett. "The sport offers more oppor-
tunities for dirty work than any other
game known. yet how many take ad-
vantage Of it?
"The player who goes into the game
to lay out a opponent is a rare ex-
ception. In fact, in all the years OF
the famous Poe familys connection
with the gridiron at Princeton not one
Of them ever recollects of having ever
heard of one of their teammates going
into contest with the idea Of get
ting an opponent.
In prize fighting there is but one
idea, and that is TO injure your op-
ponent. OF course, the result may
show that neither succeeds in their
aims so well as the football man who
probably has a half dozen knockouts
to his credit in less time than a fight
lasts. But the principle is there just
the same.
'The cry goes up every year that if
football is. allowed then prize fighting
ought to be allowed. but cannot see
where the comparison comes in. The
principle in the two sports are as wide
ly separated as the sky and the bot
tom of the seas.
Personally l. like the ring sport
better than do football but probably
because / never became as closely at
tached to the latter. But in all fair
ness to the two games. / must say that
the principle in the one is much higher
than in the other that to say one ought
to exist because the other does is all
nonsense"

WILMINGTON is
NOT WHIMPERING
Knows What It Wants and
Will Insist Upon Her
Rights

The Johnstown Democrat has the
following to say about the Wilmington
A. A.:
The Wilmington owners are making
their annual howl and with all sorts of
whimperings the Wilmington papers
threaten to get out of the Tri-State.
The Wilmington team has been a help
less. hopeless tailender for two years.
Last year it jumped the Tri-State an
lnouncing with great flourish of
trumpets that il had signed the whole
loYrk team and would play indepen-
dent ball. Then it found and got to-
lgether another team that il proclaim
led to be world beaters. But Whining
ton found that. outside the Tri-State
fold it could not get games and it
came begging to be allowed TO pur-
chase the Lebanon franchise and get
back again. The Wilmington papers
told what a great swath they would
cut i'm the Tri-State and for weeks be-
fore they were allowed to come back
these papers were almost daily pub
fishing items showing how much bet
ter and stronger the peaches We're than
anything the Tri-State had. Then
came the test and Wilmington found
her level-the bottom.
Now Wilmington is whimpering
lagain and wants to get into the East
lern League, wants to get "A salary linn
Iit fixed. wants to get under protection
wants a little of everything but really
don't know what il does want
1t is about time Wilmini-ton settled
down to something and Quit whimper-
ling. If It don't like the fast company
.it is now In IL can readily be spared.
Six good teams would be just AS strong
a league as eight if two of the eight
were like Wilmington. and it is time
Wilmington was given to Gaderstand
this.
Wilmington's status is just this
the Eastern League don't want her
and the Tri-State don't care whether
she goes out or not.
Now. Wilmington. IL YOU want to
stay in the Tri-State quit whimpering
land get down TO business. If you don't
think you are fast enough for the Tri-
State, get out, and get out quick.
"Who ever said Wilmington wanted
to get out Of the Tri-State League or
was going into The Eastern League"
Surely none Of the clubs owners. Will
lmington is not whimpering now nor
ever did. but the owners OF the club
recognize one thing and that is, that
liz is utterly impossible for any team
lin the state to make money with
out either getting protection or putting
ia limit ON their salary list. Whining
ton wants reasonable protection If it
Ican be obtained or a salary limit if
lit cannot This is the way Whining
ton stands in the matter and IT is
more than probable that several other
iclub owners stand the same.

SHERIFF GRANT cARN1sHEED.
1ra Hatch Tries to Save Q Little Out
of the Wreck.

Mrs. Nellie E. Hatch, wife of Theopi.
lus Hatch, who is preparing to put DR..
]. Edward Hughes behind the prison bars
for running mis- little daughter and de-
stroying the happiness of his home. sued
the sheriff of Yakima county last Fri
day to recover on garnishee proceedings
the sum of $l03 which is said to have
been found in the possession of Hughes
when he was incarcerated in the Yak
ina county Jail, Mrs. Hatch claiming
that this money was what was left of
the amount her husband had given her
and which eventually passed into the
possession of Hughes.
1t is stated that Hughes originally
had about $1,000 of Mrs. Hatch's money,
and that the $lO3 taken from his by
Sheriff Grant is all there was left. The
case was called for trial before Justice
Taggard Friday, Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney Thompson appearing for the
plaintiff and Lee G.. Dele for the de.
PENDANT. The latter attorney asked for
change of venue to Justice Nichols
court, stating that mis- client did not
believe he would be given an impartial
trial before Justice Taggard. The re-
quest was granted, and at the hearing
Monday Justice Nichols decided in favor
Of Mrs. Hatch. Attorney Dele at once
gave notice of appeal to the superior
court.
