many pretty compliments that we
feel amply compensated for the ex-
ira effort and expense it cost. 1t
was hurriedly gotten up to begin
with, then the autographed covers
were delayed on the way, so that we
were kept guessing whether they
were coming at all. It is truly graf
flying that the result of our labors
has pleased so many of our readers.
It's long time to be planning ahead,
but next Christmas, should the pa

we will start in time andaadd many
interesting features that this year
we were afraid to undertake. The

Was q Well Known and Popular
Citizen of Scranton.

Scranton, December 16:-,,Dr" w
M D McGee died last night at his
residence, about two miles from
town, after an illness which extended
over period of several days.
Mr. McGee, better known as DR.
McGee," or the veterinary surgeon,
was one of the best known and most
popular men in Williamsburg coun-
ty. He served on the Scranton police
force from time to time for the past
twenty-five years and was brave
and efficient officer. He owned his
farm, near town, and was regarded
as one n the leading farmers of his
community. As veterinary surgeon
his practi was unlimited, not only
in his own State but frequently he
had calls to adjoining States, and his
record is one of which his many
friends may well be proud.
DR. MCGEE was 81 years old. He
leaves a widow, Mrs w M D McGee,
and seven small children and his ia
ther, Mr. G G McGee, who is nearly 30
years old, all of whom were thor
oughly devoted to him.
He was always active in fraternal
circles of the town, being an enthu-
siastic Knight of Pythias, a member
of Scranton lodge, No ia. The fr-
neral services were held this after
noon at 8 o'clock, conducted by his
pastor, Rev w P Cause, at the Mat
thews burying ground, after which
the local lodge of Knights of Pythias
took charge of the body.

ODDITIES IN THE
NEWS OF TODAY

A newcome in the corn eating
field, Policeman William Ornstein
is today champion of the world. He
disposed of 81 ears of "roasters' in
three hours and five minutes, and
announced as he pocketed the $40
prize for the worlds championship
that he had saved some room for
late corners.
His stunt was the feature Of Ed
ward RoZenSteins forty eighth
birthday celebration at Broome and
Clinton streets last night. Ornstein
is attached to the Delaney street
station and was off duty.
A sad phase of the contest was
the failure of Red Dugan, former
champion, to come back. He had
been driving a hearse and was out
of form. William Schwartz, always
a rival of Dugan. also ran.
The rivals in the contest were
not the only corn eaters on hand.
The celebration was attended by
many east side celebrities and
about 5000 ears of corn were con
sumed.

Halley's comet can now be located
in the heavens by the aid of small,
strong telescope. A 2k inch re-
tractor will snow it up, but larger
ones bring it out more plainly If
the observer knows. the exact loca-
ton of this body he can observe it
with the naked eye. The comet is in
the eastern sky about six o'clock in
the evening. The Seven Sisters, as
the constellation of seven stars clus-
tered together in the form of a tri-
angle, may be easily detected. Di-
rectly below this constellation is
Taurus, the bull, which includes
Aldebaran, bright star, the group of
Pleiades and Hyades. Again, below
the star forming the tip of the bulls
horns, are three bright stars in
line, forming the Great Belt in Orion.
Between Taurus and the Great Belt
may be found Halley's comet. 1t is
of palish blue color, and is still
quite faint, but increasing in intens-
ity day by day. To the naked eye
it appears to be a star, but through
the telescope it may be seen that it
is not a star but hazy mass. 1t is
approaching the earth at tremen-
dous rate of speed and in a few
weeks may be easily seen by the
naked eye. 1t will become quite a
familiar object in the heavens later
in the season.
