BEAUTY OF MARS.
A Vision OF Wonderful Color and
Growing Grandeur Revealed
Through the Telescope.
BY Percival Lowell.

Viewed under suitable conditions,
few sights can compare for instant
beauty and growing grandeur with
Mars as presented by the telescope.
Framed In the blue of space. there
floats before the observers gaze a
seeming miniature OF his own earth,
yet changed by translation to the sky.
Within its charmed circle OF light h,
marks apparent continents and seas,
now ramifying into one another. now
stretching in unique expanse over
wide tracts Of disk. and capped at
their poles by dazzling ovals Of white.
It recalls to him his first lessons IL
geography. where the earth was
shown him set ethereally amid the
stars. only with an added sense of
reality In the apotheosis. 1t Is tie
thing itself. stamped with that all
pervading. indefinable hall mark o.
authenticity In which the cleverest re-
production somehow falls.
In color largely lies this awakening
touch that imbues the picture with
the sense OF actuality. And very vivid
are the tints. so salient and so unlike
that their naming in words conveys
scant idea Of their concord to the
eye. Rose ocher dominates the light
or regions. while q robin-s-egg blue
colors the darker; and both are set
of and emphasized by the icy white
ness Of the caps. Nor Is either hue
uniform: tone relieves tint to fur
ther heightening OF effect. In some
parts OF the light expanses the ocher
prevails alone: In others the rose
deepens TO a brick-red, suffusing the
surface with the glow Of a warm late
afternoon. No less various Is the blue
now sinking into deeps Of shading
now tightening into fait washes that
In places grade off insensibly into och
er itself. thus making regions OF in
termediate tint the precise borders OF
which are not decipherable by the
eye.
Superimposed upon its general
opaline complexion are now and then
to be seen ephemeral effects. At GER
tain times and in certain places
warm chocolate brown has been
known to supplant the blue. Often,
too. cold white dots are scattered over
the disk. dazzling diamond points that
deck the planets features to rich
ness beyond the power of pencil to
portray. So minute are they that
good seeing is needed to disclose them.
II Is at such moments that the color
best comes out. To those who know
the sun only as golden and the moon
as white. even in its color scheme
Mars would stand forth revelation.

TtRR0RIztD BY OUTLAW GANG
Vigilance Committee Organized to Hunt
Down Desperadoes in
Virginia.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 3.-Excitement
in Arvonia is greatly allayed, but in
the outlying districts, where the
houses are several miles distant from
each other, the people are still fearful
of visitations from the Zimmerman.
Thomas gang of outlaws. The crisis
was reached yesterday when Mr.. Ed
mund w. Hubbard, commonwealth
attorney, Of Buckingham county, tele-
graphed to the justice of the peace in
Arvopia to summon eighty men and
to form them in squads of twenty to
scour the country for the desperadoes.
Mr.. Hubbard acted after consulting
with Gov Swanson. 1t is supposed
that the vigilance committee started
last night, though no direct informa-
ton of their movements or plans of
the authorities could be gained.
Result of Old Grudge.
The latest report from the outlaw
country is that Charles Newton,
brotherin-law of Benjamin thinner
man, supposed to be the leader of the
gang, is dead from wounds inflicted by
some one or the deSperadOeS. The re-
port could not be confirmed, owing to
the inaccessibility of the place where
the shooting is said to have occurred,
but it is generally believed that New
ton has been killed. The murder, if
it occurred, is the result OF an old
grudge existing between the victim
and his slayer.
Some time ago Zimmerman is alleg-
ed to have attempted a criminal as
sault on Newton's wife, and after the
warrant was sworn out for his arrest
to have threatened his brother-in-law
Reporters Heed Warning.
Affairs for newspaper men reached
a climax yesterday morning when the
first greeting they received was that
they would be shot on sight, and that
it would be we'll for them to leave the
village. The bearer Of the message, a
citizen of some prominence, would not
divulge the name of the sender.
He repeated the message several
times and the reporters took him at
his word.

OFFERED PAY FOR
FALSE TESTIMONY
Mrs. Howard Gould Files Sen.
sational Charges Against
Her Husband.
PRIEST MAKES AN AFFIDAVIT
Tells of Money Being Offered to Hotel
Attache-Man Paid to Be Rude
to Mrs. Gould.
PRIEST MAKES AN AFFIDAVIT

| New York, Oct. 4.-That $4,000 had
been offered an employe of the Hotel
i st. Regis to give false testimony
| against Mrs. Howard Gould, was the
! substance Of an affidavit purported to
/ have been made by the Rev. Joseph G.
/, Murray, which was presented to JUS
! tjce Giegerich in the supreme court
! yesterday. The case came up before
! the justice yesterday on a motion to
strike out certain allegations in Mrs.
Gould's complaint in her suit for a
| separation from her husband as scan
dalous and irrelevant Mrs. Goulds
counsel opposed the motion and pre-
sented several affidavits, in which it
was charged that certain witnesses
had been hired to testify in favor of
Mr.. Gould.
To Watch Mrs. Gould.
The affidavit Of Father Murray was
one of the Papers presented. 1t de-
clares that Michael H. Doody had told
the priest that while he was employed
at the Hotel st. Regis, where Mrs.
Gould lived, detective went to him
with the proposition that he give
proper report of Mrs Gould's comings
and goings at the hotel, the amount of
wine she drank and the names of her
visitors, notably those of them that
were men"
Another affidavit, made by Maurice
Molloy, alleges that Molloy was I'M
der contract while custodian of Cas-
tie Gould, at Port Washington, to treat
Mrs. Gould in a cOntemptuous fashion.
Rude to Mrs. Gould.
The lawyer for Mrs. Gould recited
how it was alleged that Molloy had
gone into the house, sat on divans and
pulled cigarette smoke in Mrs. Goulds
face when she ordered him out of the
house.
An affidavit submitted by Mrs
Gould in reply to allegations Of her
husband that she is addicted to the
use of intoxicating liquors says:
when living in the country and
spending most Of my time in the open
air l have drunk a cocktail on sitting
down to luncheon and generally a
glass of white wine with luncheon.
At dinner when l felt like it, 1 drank
cocktail and a glass OF champagne
We were accustomed to have wine
served at these meals, but that was
the extent of my drinking"
Husband Annoyed Her.
Then she accuses her husband of
gross habits of intoxication. She SAYS
she was particularly annoyed by her
husband during trip to Egypt, where
they we're entertained by the khedive
and Prince Mohammed Ali. She ac-
cuses Mr.. Gould of being jealous when
she went driving with the prince,
while he went in a carriage with an
other woman who was a guest at the
luncheon.

American Battleships on Cruise
Around the World Anchor
in Manila Bay.
ON Scene Of HISTORIC FIGHT
Fleet Evokes Widest Enthusiasm and
Admiration of Thousands of

ping their many flags out straight
from the STATS and stirring the bunt-
Ing that covered the half hundred
launches and excursion steamers that,
crowded with thousands, escorted the
big ships up the bay, the Atlantic bat
tleship fleet steamed slowly into Ma
Mia bay yesterday afternoon, and.
sailing majestically across the battle
held where Dewey and his men fought
their historic fight with the Spanish
feet ten years ago, dropped anchor
off the city.
The fleet cleared the south channel
shortly after noon and steamed up the
center of the bay, while launches and
steamers, sailing proudly along beside
the monsters of the navy, sounded a
discordant welcome with whistles,
cheers and every other noise-ma king
device that could be contrived.
FiIipinos Cheer Wildly.
The ships presented magnificent
appearance as they moved slowly
along, and the sight of the long line
evoked the widest enthusiasm and
admiration of thousands that crowd
ed every point of vantage
The anchorage was reached at 2
p. NJ, and all along the shore line the
crowds continued to increase, even
after the last vessel had come to rest.
AS the ships anchored, Gen. Weston,
military commander in this city, sent
q wireless message conveying the
greetings of himself, his officers and
the men of TIE army to Admiral Sper-
ry and his men. Admiral sperry re.
piled, thanking him for his kind vel
come. Gov. Gen. Smith witnessed the
arrival of the fleet from his launch.
where he entertained large party of
officials. He probably will pay his
official visit to the Connecticut this
morning, when Manlla's welcome to
the sailors will be rendered in the
form of great water parade.
