The astronomer in charge said that
the head of the comet would cross
the solar disk and the phenomenon
would be plainly visible in the Pa
cific ocean. 1t will take the comet
but fifty-eight minutes to cross the
SUMS face and at the time it would
be possible to determine how much
solid matter is in the comets nucleus,
for all solid matter ten miles in dia-
meter would be indicated by shadow
spots against the suns background.
Yhe comet is today but $4,000 600
miles away from the earth and con-
sequently brighter than at any other
time. The experiments in Honolulu

Predicts Terrible Disasters.

York, Pa, May 1S.-Lee Spangler,
of this city, who prophesied the San
Francisco earthquake and fire, the
date of the death of Queen Victoria,
the assassination of President McKin-
ley and the drought last summer, now
declares that the earth will be torn
with earthquakes, that volcanoes will
suddenly appear in the most unex-
pected places and that drought, pestil-
ence and great wars will follow the
path of Halley's comet.
Spangler asserts that astronomers
have miscaleulated the result of the
comet striking the earth today. He
says that the garth will not merely be
swept by the tail of this celestial wan
derer. but will be sde-swiped by it.

Girls Carry Sandwich Boards.

London.-In some of our streets
during the last few days there has
been the painful spectacle of young
girls staggering along under the
weight of advertising boards. Some
of them look ill-fitted to bear such
a strain. A well known medical man
remarked the other day that he con-
sders the practice of allowing girls
to earn small sum by such exhaust
ing labor ought to be promptly check
ed. ''It is bad enough that there
should be 'sandwich-men in the
but for girls the occupation is most
unsuitable"

Eight Hours i'm Tail.

University Washington. May 1S.-
Professor Gould, head of the astron-
omical department of the university.
said today it would take about 8
hours for the earth to pass through
the comets tail, and that it will be
hardly visible to the naked eye, ow-
ing to the moonlight. Scientists will
take advantage d its passage across
the sun disk to seek evidence regard

Suspected Cases.

New York, Oct. 4.-The steamship
SAINT Anna from French and Italian
ports, now detained at quarantine,
had a case of cholera aboard.
The victim, a man in the steerage,
died September Is, and was buried al
sea. Two other cases of intestinal
trouble are under observation Mean
while the SAINT Anna, carrying 224
first class cabin passengers, some Of
them prominent Americans, and 1912
in the steerag7, is held as a possible
t'chelera carrier" pending further in
vestigation.
Announcement of the foregoing was
made tonight by DR.. A. H. Doty, health
officer of the port, who has been fight
ing to keep cholera out of this country
during the epidemic abroad. In ad-
dition to the SAINT Anna, he has as 4
precaution detained at quarantine the
steamship Moltke, from Genoa and
Naples, and the steamship Virginia,
from Naples. Tomorrow he will hold
a conference with DR.. Walter Wy
man, surgeon general of the marina
hospital corps. Together they will
map out a campaign of protection.

Columbia State, 5th.
The dispatches last night indicate
that revolution has broken out in
Portugal.
Lisbon is in the hands of the re-
publicans, the royal standard has
been torn from the palace and the
fag Of the revolutionists raised in its
place. Some reports have it that
King Manuel is a prisoner.
The army and navy have added
their support to Transforming the
monarchy into a republic and the
movement which began Tuesday in
the capital is likely to spread through
out the country.
The warships began bombarding
the kings palace at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon with small show of resist
ance and soon the supporters OF the
monarchy we're forced to capitulate.
It is believed the killing of Prof.
Bombarda, the republican deputy and
anti-clerical, by an army lieutenant
was the direct cause Of the rising, al
though ever since King Manuel as
cended the throne there have been
plots for the overthrow Of the mon
archy and against his life.
The Republican party has been
planning for control Of the govern
ment, and King Manuel, according to
the republicans, has disregarded the
rights of the people.
AS is usual under such conditions,
telegraphic communication with Lis
bon has practically been cut off, but
wireless dispatches from vessels ly-
ing off Lisbon have amply confirmed
that the revolution is a serious one.
London, Oct. 5.-According to the
Daily Mail, revolution broke out
in Lisbon yesterday (Tuesday).
The dispatch adds that King Manuel
is a prisoner; that street fighting has
occurred; that. the warships are bon1-
harding the palace and that all COM
munication with the capital is cut,
No Libson dispatches have been re-
ceived in London since yesterday al
ternoon, when the Eastern Telegraph
company announced the receipt Of one
from it's station at Carcavellos, II
miles from Libson, stating that all
communication with the capital was
interrupted
The Daily Mail prints its report Of
the revolution without a date and it
probably is based upon wireless dis
patch said to have been receiver by
the Paris Matin, reading:
"a revolution has broken out in
Lisbon and warships are now bonn
harding the capital. The army and
navy are supporting the revolution
aries"
None of the other London morning
newspaper print Libson dispatches Or
have any mention of a revolution A

that he received news of a plot in

at the White house to the army and
navy by President Taft,
1.-The supremacy brilliant event of
season studded with brilliant events
the army and navy reception-was held
at the White house last night" con-
tinues the Post. Never has the social
felicity of the Taft administration been
more effectively illustrated.
1.-The glitter of golden epaulets, the
splendor of full dress uniforms, in
vaded the east room, and the calm de-
mocracy of this great chamber made
way for the pomp and pageantry of
what might have been Versailles in
the full glory Of the Napoleonic era.
The opalescent chandeliers, the myriad
candelabra, the riot of reflected color,
made the scene one of almost binding
brilliance.
"As the guests threaded their way
through the White house, passing
from the east room into the smaller
chambers, a memorable scene greeted
them. There was vista running the
entire length Of the mansion, flooded
with gold and rich color AS far as
the eye could rcach-through the green
room, the blue room and state dining
room-gold braid glittered resplendent-
ly, moving and swaying in kaleidO-

No one has any objection to the pres

to the dignity of his high office. The
above account of what took place IN

notice, however, just because it indi-

man with the gray whiskers. We've

l looked at the name of the maker

observations and told the gentleman
that l didn't know any way to pick
the lock without drilling a hole where

would involve considerable expense TO
put his safe in order again.
Never mind the expense" he said
impatiently. I've got to put in bid
