NOTED ASTRONOMER DEAD.
Dr.. Gale First Man to see the
Planet Neptune


Planet Neptune
Potsdam, July 11.-Dr. Johann Gottfried
Gale, the German astronomer. who was
the first man TO see the planet Neptune
died here to-day in his eighty-eighth
year.
DR.. Gale was the last of the cele-
brated trio Of savants. the other two
being John Couch Adams and Urban I
Leverrier, who were the makers of one
of the most important, as well as ro-
mantle, chapters In modern astronomical
science. Leverrier died in 1877 and
Adams in 1882.
The discovery of Neptune in 1876 was
the result OF a memorable triu1nph of
gravitational astronomy. The perturba-
tons Of Uranus had long bothered the
searchers of the heavens. Several ex-
plantations were offered, and more than
one astronomer threw out the sugges-
ton that the Irregularities of the planet
might be due to the attraction of q
hitherto undiscovered planet.

Hereafter.

city Engineer craig is up In arms against
the contractors who persist in obstructinE
the streets to that degree where property
owners are Kicking continually to have
the distractions removed Mi. Craig says
he will insist on strict compliance with the
law hereafter or win have all parties CON

"This department. has been flooded with
complaints from property owners and
others relative tUl1he storage Of building
material in streets and on sidewalks, thus
obstructing traffic, and in some Instances to
the extent of endangering life," said MI
Craig,
Il am not going to bear the brunt OF this
trouble any longer. There is no reason why
building contractors, plumbers and others
should not comply with the law and keep
within the limit of their rights. The or
dinance provides that the building inspector
shall, when granting permits, issue them
subject to the provisions of street permits
from the city engineer for che storage of
building material upon the public streets.
Under no circumstances shall any material
be allowed to be placed so as TO obstruct
drainage in the cutters.
The ordinance Is also plain on the sub
ject of protecting the public against acci-
dent by requiring red lights OF other signals
or barbados to be placed at night by the
builders property owners during the
period Of the occupany of the street. The
penalty is fine Of 500 or thirty days in
jail, or both
Il intend to start a red-hot campaign
Monday morning by sending out force Of
inspectors TO locate violators OF this ma
terlel ordinance and any contractor,
plumber or property owner found violating
the ordinance will be arrested and lodged
in Jail This course will be continued from
day to day until compliance with this or
dinance is made.
Grading contractors, too, must come to
time and replace sidewalks and cross

the EneIisn people don't like his name.
George may become loved monarch.
even though Inc does moi possess the en-
dcsr'ng qualities OF the late King Edward
VII but he must prove himself very wise
and good ruler to rid the name of George
of the unsavory odor attached to IL In the
history OF British royalty.
Not one Of tho four Georges who have sat
upon the throne previous to the new king
brought any luster to the English, crown.
The first George was an imported prince
who had made record as a brave officer
in the Hanoverian army and indiscrminate
lover OF women. His reputation i'm the lat
ter respect was fully maintained during his
reign over a country whose language he
could not speak.
George IL was as deficient In morals as

and the latter his latest

self almost into fits on seeing a clown

to be real king, but did not know how.
one Of the worst results of his pigheaded
obstinacy was the provocation of the Amer
lean revolution. He died insane.
The fourth George was born a century
before the present king saw the light of
day. ~ marriage to Mrs. Fitzherbert was
only one of the scandals of his reign. He
was known sometimes as The First Gem
tleman of Europe" because OF his gracious
manners, which were mere varnish. At
heart he was a proflgate.
George V. as prince Of Wales, has shown
none OF the qualities that have given the
name it's royal il-savor. In fact, he has
been regarded as being proper to the verge
of dizziness. Therefore his chance of MAX
ing the twentieth century George a brilliant
contrast with the other Georges is very

WAVE OF FINANCIAL GLOOM u.,

Possibility that Prices May show
Somewhat of "a Recovery by
Monday.

LONDON, May ESPECIAL Cablegram)-
1t would be difficult TO eXaggerate the
gloom which spread over financial London
today, following the death of King Edward
Everyone anticipated the worst yesterday
so there is a possibility that prices may re-
cover in some degree on Monday, although
nothing can prevent the financial reaction
which must necessarily follow.
Two or three years ago the death of the
king Of England would scarcely have been
discussed as potential factor in the fnan-
cial district.
The apprehension which arose this week
as it would not have done few years ago
was based not only on the crowns present
situation in the face of the Asquth min
istry's demand for new peers TO reverse
the opposition majority in the House of
Lords, but to the wild speculation of the
public in new tangled oil and rubber shares,
which had fairly reached its climax when
the kings death was announced.
