A STRICKEN FAMILY

Is That Of John J. Sweeney Of the
City Of St. Paul.
At st. Paul, Mimi, on April goth, at
S p. M. died Mrs. Elizabeth Moran
Sweeney the beloved wife of John j.
Sweeney. Elizabeth Moran was born
in Rosemount As; years ago, and at "a
years of age married John ]. Swee-
ney of Holy Cross, Iowa. During her
married life she had lived in West
Superior Mimi, and in Holy Cross
and Dyersville, Iowa, removing two
years ago to st. Paul. Her death is a
peculiarly sad one and was a heavy
blow to her devoted husband and little
sisters.
On Sunday, April is, she was struck
with scarlet fever, contracted while
ministering to her family of little ones,
six of whom were victims of the dread
disease. No fears were felt by the
family for her ultimate recovery and
so when the Angel of Death knocked
at her door, the call was sudden and
none could realize that She was gone.
Her grief stricken husband is left with
his helpless family Of seven-the babe
of less than two years-to face the
troubles of life and overcome it's many
discouragements without the assist
ance of its helpmate of years.
May God assist him on his weary
road, and may the Merciful Father
who orders all things right have mercy
on her helpless family and be a COM
fort to them.
At the time of Mrs. Sweeney's death
six of the children were confined in
the hospital and did not know of the
loss that was theirs Besides the hus-
band and children, Mrs. Sweeney is
survived by four brothers and six sis
tiers, viz: M. ]. Moran and Henry P.
Moran, st. Paul. Thos. p. Moran,
Hastings; John Moran, Lakeville; Mrs.
P. Mccarthy, Morris; Mrs. Catherine
Gibbons, Farmington; Mrs. Charles
Burns, Mendoza; and Mrs. William
Kelly, Mrs. M. ]. Corcoran and Mrs.
John Farrell, Rosemount. The fune-
raj was held privately on Friday
morning, April %, and the interment
was at Rosemount, MINI. Services at
the grave were conducted by Rev. Ter
renee Moore.

PIutarch and the Comet.

If old Plutarch writes accurately,
there is reason for believing that the
earth once before suffered the expert
ence due this spring-that of passing
through the tail of Halley's comet.
The results then were attributed to
the wrath of the gods because of the
assassination of Julius Caesar. If SIM
liar phenomena are now recorded, a
bad crop year may be expected, also
much la grippe and pneumonia. 1t
will be chilly and damp and dark.
Remarkable atmospheric conditions
followed the appearance of a brilliant
comet Immediately after the assassina-
ton of Julius Caesar. In that famous
volume "Plutarch's Lives" the histo-
rian, concluding the life of Caesar,
says:
THE most singular preternatural
appearances were. the great comet,
which shones very. bright for seven
nights after Caesars death and then
disappeared, and the dimness of the
sun, whose orb continued pale and dull
for the whole of that year, never show
ing it's ordinary radiance at it's rising,
and giving but a weak and feeble heat
The air consequently was damp and
gross for want of stronger rays to
open and rarity it. The fruit for that
reason never properly ripened and be-
gan to wither and fall off for want of
heat before they were fully formed
Caesar died in March of A B. c., or
approximately, 1854 years ago. The
comet makes it's round in seventy five
years and the division comes in 26.O5.
There is no other comet reported by
the astronomers which would cause
such an illumination and which would
be due at the time named.
The Romans were moved strongly by
superstitions and Plutarch shows HIM
self the victim of, many of them. Yet
Plutarch wrote only $50 years after
the death of Caesar. 1t seems that the
fact of the comets appearance and the
extraordinary crop. conditions of the
year would hardly, have been manu-
featured in that. interval Possibly
there was no connection between the
effect on fruit and the appearance OF
the comet, yet the coincidence is in
teresting.

DANBlURY FAIR.

Automobile club runs to the Dan bury fair are in order for Saturday, and several of the larger organiza- tions, notably that of New Haven, have engaged special parking places. The management of the fair is pre- pared to take care of 5000 autos, and from present indications that number will be on hand, for reservations are being made by parties from almost every city from New York to Hart from Pougtkeepsie down the river to the metropolis.
 The automobile races at the Danbury F;air Saturday, have been sanctioned by the A. A. A., and several of the best drivers in the country will conl- pete, among them Ralph De Palma, holder of the worlds track records one to ten miles. De Palma will drive his famous Fiat Cyclone, and in addition to competing in the races he will go for all State track records up to ten miles, Last Thursday at Poughkeep- sic he made four miles in 3:30, on an unbanked track. He is a remarka bly, daring driver, and although he still lirnps from an accident he met with when a tire burst and threw him in to the fence at last years Danbury Fair, he is looming back this week to demonstrate that he hasn't lost his nerve.
 The mammoth new automobile build ing at the Danbury Fair is making a great hit, containing, as it does, the largest display of autos and acceSsor- ies ever made in this State.
