PLAN TO STUDY HALLEY'5
COMET.

Preparations are being made at the
Maryland Academy of Sciences in Bslti-
more for the observation of the next re-
turn of Hslley's comet, which is to re-
cur 10 1910. 1t is at present on its way
there, but is still outside the orbit of
the planet Jupiter and will not be visl-
BILE until it is inside the orbit OF Mars.
During the coming year special effort
will be made to photograph it months
before it will be,visible to the NAKED eye.
This comet will also afford work for the
new Carnegie rejecting telescope, which
has just been set up after enormous dif-
fcultus S encountered in construction and
transportation to itl permanent station
on Mount Wilson, in California.
The principal use of this great rehec-
tor, the largest aud most perfect of its
kind ever built, will be to photograph
distant stars and to study the peculisri-
ties OF the sun, with its still unexplained
phenomena of spots, holes, protuoer-
sDces, atmospheric effects and the Ike.
10 all these lines great results are looked
for by scientists all over the world.

Snake HIDEs IN BASKET.

Few can realize the feelings that Mr.
Charles Boyslem, Of Baltimore, expert
enced yesterday morning, when large
black snake reared itself out Of basket
of tomatoes, which the gentleman was
carrying across the pier of the Tolchester
Company, and made vicious jump for
his face. Mr.. Boyslem was 10th 10 tell
of the incident, but one Of the steamboat
company's officers said that the by
ISLANDERS cleared of the whsrf faster than
crowd OF red excursionists even ran
for their cars at night.
One of the deck hands, however, ven
tured near enough to dispatch the snake
with four-foot lsth. 1t was afterwards
measured, showing length of nearly
three feet and thickness OF an inch.
How the snake managed tn crawl In
among the tightly packed tomatoes Is
mystery, and those who carried tomatoes
during the remainder of The day took
especial care to examine every basket
before they yebtured to lift it.

his condition, the scandal In which he
figures and the circumstances which
led to a suit for divorce by Carew.
Carew says he found his wife in Mr..
Carew's father-in-law, Nathan Todd,
last Tuesday night. He threw the
minister downstairs and pursued him
a quarter of a mile, beating him with
a stick all the way. Mr.. Shipman is IS

she ran into her husband, who had re-

ELIZABETH HAS DRYEST
SUNDAY in 20 YEARS.

ELIZABETH. Aug. 10.-TheN lid was
down so tight here yesterday the sa-
loon-keepers gasped for breath. Along
First street the b~arkeepers sat out on
the front stoops, not knowing what to
do with themselves. This town mas
not had such a dry Sunday in twenty
years. The biggest excursion that ever
left on a Sabbath went out with the
Red Men, and most of them were sa-
loon-keepers.
1t was all because of the State Excise
Commission, which told the State a
few weeks ago how wicked Elizabeth
was. The clergymen said a few things,
and it got so warm that Chief of Po-
lice George Tenney. who told the Gov
errors probers that the Bishops ex-
else law just couldn't be enforced in
Elizabeth, decided to do it anyhow. He
started two Sundays ago.. Yesterday he
turned the trick, and ferry traffic to
Staten Island was heavier than In
