boys against girls is not only unfair
to the boys but it takes interest
from the contest itself by putting
public speaking and parlor reading
in the same general class. Young
men would be justified in refusing
to enter such a contest and if Padu-
cab has no boy orators, the other
schools should select girls and let it
be an elocutionary contest between
girls. In mere declamatory con.
test between one girl and half a
dozen boys, there would be but little
encouragement to the boys to hope
that the contest would be decided on
merit, or that Kentucky gallantry
would be set aside to give them a
square deal. y

The Paducah High school in select
ing a young lady to take part in the
high school oratorical contest, is
raising a question that should be
passed upon before the contest of
Feb. 25. An oratorical contest be
tween young men is and should be
quite a different thing from an elo-
cutionary or recitation contest be-
tween both sexes. If girls are to be
admitted. then let each school send
au elocutionist or a reader a. well as
an orator and let boys compete with
boys and girls with girls. 10 match

CEMETERIES
LOSE MORTGAGE SUITS.
DEGREES Awarded in Fight Over
Foreclosure.

DEGREES in two cemetery cases cover
ing mortgage foreclosure proceedings
were directed by Vice-Chancellor How
ell today. one against the East Ridge
Lawn Cemetery Company and the other
against the West Ridge Lawn Gene
terry Company. They are located in
Passaic county, and the decree in the
flrst-named company's cas- was for
So. 606.S so and in the other 1884. rs.
The complainant in the first litigation
was Bertha B.. Hammond and in the
other J. Garfield Moses. They held the
mortgages on the respective premisas,
and as the interest was not forthcom-
ing started foreclosure proceedings
through John r. Hardin.
The defense in each case was prac-
tically the same, namely, that the COM
panies were willing to pay up, but were
unable to do so at the present time.
In his DEGREES the vice~-chancellor
gave these companies another shift
saying that il the companies could pro-
cure anyone to pay off the mortgages a
proper arrangement would be effected,
but If this was not done the complain
ant in each case will be entitled to
issue an execution.

We're told in the business Office that

them pretended to know what might
happen in the heavens, or whether the
tail of the comet would be visible.

NEW BRUNSWICK COUNCIL
HEAD ORDERS GRAFT PROBE.
Charge of Paving Concern Repre-
sentative TO Be Investigated.

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 19.-Presi-
lent Frederick Weigel, Of the Common
Council. last night named Aldermen
Ridgeway, Goodwin and Miller as a
committee to investigate the graft
charges made against the Council, such
investigation having been requested
by Mayor John J.. Morrison.
The investigation arises from the
alleged statement Of the. representative
of a paving concern that $4,000 could
have been saved by the town If there
had not been so many grafters in the
Council to whom his company had had
to give up" The whole Council In
sisted that a thorough probe be made
to see whether or not the alleged state
ment had been made and, If so,
whether it was true or not.

was the comets tail. No adequate ex-
PLANTATION, however, is forthcoming.
Professor Mitchell, Professor Frost
and Professor Barnard say that any oil
the following three explanations may
be right:
First. IN. OF the comets
tail first discovered and noted by Pro-
lessor Barnard on Tuesday night may
have developed to a wholly unexpected
degree. while the head of the comet has
passed the earth on schedule time; sec
ond, like Borelli's comet of 1903, Hal
ley's comet may have ceased its tall
making activity, cutting off the glowing
fan tina is now puZzling the scientists.
Third, it is possible that all calcula-
tions are wrong. and the comet has not
yet raised the earth.
After leaving his telescope at lay
break. Professor Frost issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Greater than all the theories and
all the computations are the facts. Ana
the fact is that the tail OF Haley s
has been appearing vi the east in prac-
tically the same place it has appeared
since Yesterday morning. There is no
question about that. The tail winch
glowed from the horizon close to the
milky way before midnight until dawn
has not yet passed across the earth.
MT. WILSON OBSERVATORY, Pasa-
dena. Cal. May 19.-"Dr. Henry n.
Russell is an authority whose views are
entitled to consideration" said DR.. Z
A. Faith. of the observatory corps here,
when informed early this morning or
the Princeton astronomers opinion that
the earth had not at that time passed
through the comets tail.
81 quite agree with him in regard
to the curvature of the tall OF the
comet. More than that we are not alb
solutely certain of at his time. Be
cause of the strong moonlight which
has prevailed all night we have been
unable to detect anything"
JOHANNESBURG. May 19.-Accord-
ing to the observations made at the
Transvaal Observatory, of which r. I.
A. Innes is the director, the earth a
not traversed the tail of Halley's comet
at dawn today. The tail was still north
of the ecliptic, and at the observatory
it was thought probable that the earth
would pass considerably to the south
