Annihilate white Trash
During a Row.

Milton Howard, negro, was arrest
ed last evening after he had engaged
in row with several white people
whom he met in the alley on Seven
teenth street between Second and
Third avenues. During the argument
he drew 4 razor and threatened to
drive all the white trash into the

to deal harshly with him and the
charge was made disorderly conduct,
and he was fined SO and costs, which
he paid.
John Joseph, who has conducted a
shoe shining stand in the alley at Sec
ond avenue between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets, was arrested yes
terday afternoon after he had resisted
a warrant being served on him by

stand, but Joseph refused to surrender,
and a warrant was secured against
him to force him to leave. He refused
to do so and Constable Heverling
called upon the police, who soon re-
moved him and turned the keys over
to the constable. Joseph's hearing
was set for this afternoon.

STILL ANOTHER FROST DUE
Third Time This Month Prediction
Has Been Made

For the third time this month the
weather bureau today issued a frost
warning. Tonight, if the clouds dis
appear, there is expected to be light
freeze 1t is not likely to do much
damage, but may affect the more ten
der plants. Frost as late as the 18th
of May is unusual, but not unprece-
dented. so that the comet should not
be blamed too severely.

the fact that the comet is now nearly
between the earth and the sun, the
light of the latter throwing the former
into practical obscurity. The moon
too, is approaching the full and her
light will greatly interfere with the
work of the astronomers. Locally, the
prospect is that the sky will be cloud
less, and the smoke from the forest
fires present in such quantities a few
days ago has now disappeared, so that
there ought to be as good chance
here as anywhere to see whatever phe-
nomena there is.
The comet tomorrow morning will
rise practically with the sun, which
will appear at 4:36 a. N. The tail OF
the former, which sweeps always away
from the latter, is visible for double
the distance between the earth and
the comet, so that this sphere will
pass through the middle of it. BY
Thursday morning the comet will have
passed the sun and gone into the even
ing sky, setting half an hour after the
solar orb. The tail will extend up into
the sky in the evening and will prob
ably be visible a day or two before the
main body can be distinguished.
what Scientists Predicted.
In advance of the passage through
the tail of the comet by the earth the
astronomers have made various pre-
dictions. Here are some of them:
Probably there will be a shower
of meteorites. = Professor Asaph
Hall of the naval observatory at
Washington.
l don't expect that we will know
we are in it.-Professor E. E. Bar
nard of Yerkes observatory.
look for light effects in the
night from the luminous tail of
the comet.-Professor E. B. Frost
Of Yerkes.
The atmosphere will be darken-
ed. - Professor Robert H. Wilson
of Harvard
A terrific explosion may result
from the passage of the earth
through the tail-Professor D. J.
McAdam of Washington and JEFF
ferson university.
The whole tail could be packed
In a suit case.-Professor Percival
Lowell of Lowell observatory, at
Flagstaff, Ariz.
May be some explosions In the
upper atmosphere when the gas
eous molecules of the comets tail
strike the earth's atmosphere
Professor Daniel McHugh of De
Paul university.
The tail is too rare and diffuse
to produce any effect at all.-Pro-
fessor S. A Mitchell of Columbia
university.
French Savant's Dread Prediction.
And most terrific of all, the predic-
ton which has set the superstitious
of the world agog with terror is that
of the French savant, Camille Flam-
marion:
THE population of the earth face
the possibility of laughing themselves
to death when the incalculable mass of
cyanogen gases sweep down upon
them"
To which authorities on this side of
the earth reply:
"Bosh.''
Meanwhile the United States wealth
er bureau has notified all its offices to
be on the lookout for gegenscheins,
zodiacal light, halos, meteoric trails,
auroras, and other celestial phenom-
ena.
