SEES ALARMING SON SPOTS.
PittsbuTE Astronomer Fears Mag
netic Disturbance May Follow.

Pittsburg, Oct. 22-Spots Of large and
perhaps alarming nature are now fire.
Quenting the face Of the sun. according
to Prof John A. Brashart. noted Pitts
burg astronomer, who yesterday said:
During the past six or eight days the
surface of the sun has been literally
covered with spots. on Saturday even
ing several Of the greatest spots could
be seen with the naked eye. This morn
ing the sky was so clear and beautiful
that successful observations Of the spots
have been made by US. At the present We
have found five great groups crossing
near the center Of the sun. In fact.
they extend 10 the equatorial region,
where they do not usually occur
zone great group, covering probably
100000 square miles, has three bridges
across g dark path Of the sun, forming
sort Of connection between the south,
east, and north sides Of the sun 1t is
one Of the most beautiful sights observed
since last February, when a great spot
was discovered.
1T is difficult 10 predict whether or not
the spots will cause a magnetic dis
turbanee on the earth 4 few more OBJ
servatfons must be made before the re-
lations Of the spots to the earth can be
determined"

The dynamite was loaded at the rail-

Of the explosive fell from the cart and
some OF them were broken open, but
none OF the dynamite exploded. The

DRINKING AMONG WOMEN
a Dinner Party at a Fashionable Hotel
and What 1t Indicates.

Upon her return to New York from
q European trip, a wealthy American
woman gave dinner at fashionable
hotel to a party OF women friends.
TWenty-on sat down to an elab-
orately garnished board in a private
apartment. The hostess, whose <hus-
band is a Well-knoWn merchant, sat at
the head of the table.
Waiter . she said, 81 want you
to open wine and keep these glasses
full"
T should think you'd start it with
cocktail, I commented an eastern
woman, mother of two children.
Il don't know why should re-
piled the hostess. II have been drink
ing highballs and cocktails eyer since
got out of bed at two O'clock this
afternoon
The party laughed.
Some had their way, however, and
cocktails were served first to them.
Others started with, wine. Two WON
en- sat at the table who did not drink.
IN Twenty quarts of champagne were
opened and consumed by 20 women
between eight o'clock in the evening
and one o'clock the next morning.
We will not mention the highballs
and cocktails. jail
The hostess of this delightful en-.
tertainment was too drunk at midnight
to hold her head up. Three women
were overcome to such an extent that
they could not leave the apartment
until the following day.
This occurred among highly respect
ed women in highly respectable
hotel.
It is doubtless true that the use of
intoxicants by women is on the in
crease. Women now drink in public
places with men, and the same heavy
liquors.
The fiends of hell never contrived a
worse plot against humanity. True
motherhood and even polite" drunk
enness cannot be confused. Once in
a while a man finds it possible to keep
a fortune intact and be known as a
successful man and still drink. More
often he fails in such an attempt. But
no woman can accomplish the greatest
function of her sex, replenishing the
earth and rearing her children in an
atmosphere of sweet purity, with faint
ed breath, body weakened by the
.ravages of alcohol or mind made
torpid in drink.
