BEAUTIFUL STAR IN THE WEST
Simple Explanation of the Movement
of the Planet Venus.

Out in the southwest these even
ing shines the most beautiful star,
or to be more correct, the most
beautiful planet in the sky. As
tronomers, on account of its lus-
trous beauty, have named it Ven
us. In answer to query concern
ing how Venus can be both even
ing and morning star, since it is
nearer than the earth to the sun,
the Springfield Republican says;
There should be no difficulty
in solving this problem by draw
ing a rough sketch, with the sun
at the center of two concentric
circles, one with any convenient
radius. for the path of Venus, the
other with a radius increased by
half, for the earth's orbit. From
this it will appear that at times
Venus will be between us and the
sun; when it exactly crosses the
suns disk a transit of of Venus
occurs. Obviously when it is in
line with the sun it can be above
the horizon only in the day time,
a condition which reCurs when it
is at the furtherest point of its
orbit. But when its course along
the zodiac carries it out of the di-
rect line between the earth and
the sun, it will lie either a little
east of the sun, in which case it
will lag behind the sunset and be
the evening star, or to the west OF
the sun, in which case it will pre-
cede the sun in rising and be the
the morning star. Even crude
diagram will make this plain. 1t
was not understood by the ancient
who gave the morning and the
evening star separate names.

HAGNER AND MOVES
FOR CONGRESS
Will Be Candidates for Sixth District
Republican Nomination.

The Baltimore American last
Friday says:
"Mr. Alexander Hagner, of
Washington county, who was in
Baltimore yesterday, said that it
was his intention to be candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Congress this year in the Sixth
district. Mr.. Hagner has long had
an ambition to represent his dis
trict in the House of Representa-
tives. In 1906 he missed the nom
ination by only one vote, Captain
Mcdonald, OF Montgomery, carry
ing off the honor. Two years
later he was largely instrumental
in bringing about the nomination
Of Colonel Pearre.
eff Colonel Pearre is not ap-
pointed to the federal bench it is
understood that he will be a can
didate to succeed himself.
1T is also understood that Mr..
Thomas c. Noyes, of Montgomery,
will be in the field.
Thus far no candidate has come
to the front in Frederick and Gar
rett, the other two counties of the
district.
1T is generally accepted that
Colonel Pearre will have the sup
port of Allegany and Garrett coun-
ties on the first ballot.
Mr.. Hagner will probably be
backed by the delegation from his
own county, though he may have
opposition in the primaries. 1t is
said that Mr.. Joseph Roulette, "a
wealthy manufacturer, of Hagers-
town, has congressional inspira-
tions and IS backed by one element
Of the Republican party in the
county. Mr.. Hagner has long
been prominent in Republican pol
itics in his county and in the state.
He is now chairman OF the state
central committee for his county.
Last year he was a candidate for
the nomination for CHIEF Judge of
his circuit to succeed Judge A.
Hunter Boyd, but the honor went
to Mr. D. Lindley Sloan, of Allie
gany county"

Duke of Richmond and Gordon.

Duke of Richmond and Gordon.
The noble Duke of Grafton
boasts an irregular descent from
royal house marked by a bar
sinister on his escutcheon. 1t was,
however, bad taste on the part of
King Leopold to call his eldest
son Duke de Fervueren, for this
is the name of the palace where
his ill-starred sister, Empress Car
lotta, lived after she had lost her
reason in consequence of the death
of her husband, who was shot in
Mexico.
have seen King Leopold, the
Baroness de Vaughan and their
two children at the Chateau de
Lormos, which they rented from
our Franco-American hostess,
Madame Henri Say. And never
did bourgeois family frolic more
merrily than the aged King, the
young Duke and Count and the
lively Baroness. They made
right merry in the beautiful cha
teau of NJ a dame Henri Say.
Leopold used to compare himself
to Louis XIV, who married his
children's governess, Madame de
Maintenon. And truly there may
be some comparison. They were
both great Kings. Louis built
Versailles; Leopold built Laeken.
Louis said, u am the state" and
when speaking Of the Congo,
Leopold said pretty much the
same thing and meant it too.
Thanks to the humane influence
of a number of American ladies',
Lucion Millevoye, Deputy for
Paris, is making a crusade in
favor of our dumb animals, espe-
Cially that animal most of all
abused-the horse. NJ. Millevoye
is very eloquent, and practice has
made him a good orator. Like
Saint Francis of Assysi, he looks
upon beasts and birds as our fell
low brothers. The exact phrase
he employees is our inferior
brethren" Monsieur Millevoye,
the modern Saint Francis, whom
up to date no one ever accused of
being a saint, believes all animals
have souls. In support of his
theory he quotes the late Cardinal
Newman and Madame Lucie Ga
Won, the daughter OF the late Felix
Faure.
NJ. Millevoye is preaching a
crusade against vivisection. He
objects to J. D. Rockefeller In
stitute for that reason. He goes
further and takes a fling at the
Americans for broiling their lob
sters alive. His eloquence has
completely won over the Chamber
of Deputies, and in the future the
school books of Paris are to con-
tain more precepts about gentle
ness to animals.
NJ. Lepine, the Perfect of Pc
lice, has issued an order forbid
ding cab drivers to use whips with
knots or throngs. Better still he
instructed the police to prosecute
employers who make children
carry weights too heavy. for their
years. And all this help for the
helpless is due to the leaven of the
humane American women residing
in Paris.

ROMANCE Of A ROYAL
PAIRS ENGAGEMENT
Leopold Opposition Forced Prince and
Princess to Keep LoYe Secret.

PARIS, Jan. I6.-Ihe next royal
marriage will surely be that of
Prince Napoleon and Princess
,lementine, youngest daughter of
the late King Leopold, of Belgium.
Prince Victor is the grandson OF
Jerome Bonaparte, King of West
phal1a, and brother of Napoleon
the Great. He is the son of that
Bonaparte prince Familiarity known
as "plon- plon," who flourished
during the reign of Napoleon the
Third. Prince Victor's mother
was a sister of King Victor En-
manual of Italy. He is the stand
ard bearer of the Bonapartists and
their claimant to the throne Of
France. His marriage with the
Princess Clementine, great grand
daughter of Louis Philippe, adds
strength to the Imperialistic cause.
The secret of the engagement OF
the Royal couple has been kept
dark, owing to the fierce OPPOSE
ton of Leopold. They have been
sweethearts 1or fifteen years and in
spite of the vigilance of the auto
cratic Leopold have managed to
meet in France. The old King
had been known to mount, guard
whip in hand in front Of the Prin-
cess apartments in the palace of
Lzoken to prevent her receiving
her royal lover.
Once driven to desperation, the
unhappy girl openly dehed him.
1t was at Cape Martin on the
Riviera. The King dared to force
his morganatic wife on the Prin-
cess. Clementine-all her royal
blood fired with the indignity-
fed toBrussels, where she planned
an elopement and marriage with
Prince Victor. But wiser Counsels
prevailed. 1t was pointed out they
would be exiled from Belgium,
and the prince is already an exile
from France. But the death OF
the King has happily removed the
last obstacle, and there is now no
real reason why this union should
not take place. King Leopold OPP

King Leopold's two children by
the Baroness de Vaughan, have
added a new Coont and new
Duke to European nobility. This
comforting of titles upon his two
illegitimate sons puts Leopold in
the rank of many other Kings, es-
pecially those of England and
France.
For instance the present Due
D'Orleans is descended from that
Due D'Orleans, who was regent
during the minority of Louis XIV,
and from the beautiful daughter
of Madame de Monespan. The
Baroness is quite as pretty and
fascinating as Nell Gwynn, from
whom the Duke of Saint Adams is
descended.

ating Louis de Louereuille to spy

Congressman Elvins has intro
duced in the House bill to re-
strict the admission of foreign Ia
Dor to this country. The bill has
some very good features and it
would undoubtedly be well if such
a measure were made the law. MIR.
Elvins comes from section that is
fairly over-run with class of for
eign labor that is far from being a
desirable addition to the popuIa-
tion Of the country, industrialIy or
socially, and is therefore fully fa-
miliar with the conditions he seeks
to correct with his bill. Unfor-
tunately, however, the bill con-
hicts with the ideas of our modern
industrial expIoiters, for whom
those foreigners will labor on a
basis that is but little above the
level of slavery, and to which level
it has the tendency to drag down
American labor, therefore the fate
of the bill will be a pigeon hole in
the room Of the committee to
which it is referred.

The decisions of the supreme
court in the Standard Oil and To
bacco Trust cases are being looked
forward to with much interest in
speculative circles. 1t would mean
big money to the man who could
forecast the decision of the court
correctly, for were it an adverse
one, all trust stocks would take a
tumble, and the reverse would
happen if the courts ruling should
favor the trusts. The effect it will
have, either one way or the other,
on the masses of the people does
not concern the business world,
for the reason that the effect would
simply be nil. No matter how the
verdict reads, the Standard Oil Co.
will still have monopoly control
of the oil business and the Tobacco
Trust of the tobacco business. and
the people will pay just what
either trust makes as the price of
its commodity. The foolish argu-
ment that industria!ism must re-
turn to system Of general compe-
tition has no place outside of poll
tics, for the reason that we can no
more reverse this evolution than
mere argument could stop the
earth from revolving on its axis.

Our Democratic friends are now
busy trying to put the Republican
party in a hole, while they them
selves hope to sneak into Office by
the same operation. Their efforts
are directed towards making the
people discontented with Repnbli-
can rule and policies, without, of
course, offering anything better in
exchange. Just as often as the
Democratic party has fooled the
voters into returning it to power it
has been for something worse than
they had been getting. We hear
a great deal from the leaders of
that party as to what they would
do to the tariff, the trusts, etc., if
given a chance. Yet The tariff
would have to remain pretty much
as it is to give the country its nec-
essary revenue, and as for the
trusts, we'll they would be safer
under Democratic than under Re-
publican rule. The south, where
the Democrats are practically a unit
of power in the various state gov
ernments in that section, the trusts
have everything they want as they
want it, and are undisturbed in its
possession. The only states where
the Democrats are trying to raise
a view. halo campaign against the
monopolies are such wherein they
are closely pressed by the Repub.
licans, like Missouri, for instance,
where it is made a grand-stand
play for political effect.

Woman's Missouri Development As
sociation.

The Woman's Missouri Develop
ment Association desires to aid in
the advancement and prosperity OF
every part of our state. To carry
out the work more effectually,
sub associations will be organized
in each county as rapidly as prac-
ticable. These sub associations
will act as agents of the state or
ganization and also carry out such
work as may best be done by resi-.
dent members of the general body.
The teachers of the state are
showing a most gratifying disposi'
ton to cooperate with the w. M.
D. A. in furthering their mutual
aims for the good of the schools.
A first result of this cooperation
promises to be an extremely inter-
esting exhibit of pupils work at
the Slate Land and Development
Congress to be held in
1ronton in May. The Association
particularly desires full displays
of nature study and pupils handi-
work. 1t is to be hoped that every
county in the state will take as its
motto 'Let US show you," and
sieze this opportunity to make
known the practical resourceful-
ness of its younger citizens.
