tyNcaeuRe CAN COME BACK.

Lynchburg can come back. IN
1890 the billy city had a population
OF l9.7O9. During the ensuing ten
wears the city went backward ami
the United States census Of 1900
credited it with only 1881. Ten years
more have passed, and now II is an
bounced that the census takers found
% 494 people in Lynchburg. Thus, af-
ter losing AZ per cent in population
in ten years, the city has gained more
than so per cent. during another de-
cade.
While il is true that Lynchburg
las grown materially during the past
ten years. it nevertheless is faet
hat the city has annexed some out
living territory and this, no doubt, con
tributed largely TO the increase In
population.
Newport News is at a disadvantage
in this respect. We not only have
failed to extend our limits so as 10
take in territory that actually Is
part of the city. but many Of our busi-
ness and professional men and hun
dreds of workmen who make their
living at the shipyard or elsewhere
within the city limits, are residing
en- the Boulevard or along the car
lires here and Hampton.

tations in Every Way.
OFFERINGS APPEAR SCARCE
Selling Pressure Is Not Conspicuous

Negative strensth-Fresh Show Of
Wheat Situation is Depressing.
tBy Associated PressJ

NEW YORK. July l5.-The stoch
market today displayed its marrow
limitations in every way. Dealings
we've small and fluctuations narrow
The oppressive weather and the apa'
thetic interest in the dealings play
ed their part in the showing. Buying
orders uncovered on declines, int.mi-
dated the beers and their efforts to
secure stocks showing how seaice
were the offerings. Those offered
were not pursued urgently on the ad-
vances in prices and with che srb-
sidence of this demand the buying or
ders disappeared and left prices TO
dr. II in an almost idle market. Sell
ing pressure was not conspicuous az
any level and it was this fact which
gave the market its negative strength
and power OF res stance. Last prices
were much changed on the day.
A depressing effect wss exerted by
the fresh show OF strength In the
wheat markets, especially those IN
the northwest Renewed reports or
bad spr,ng wheat conditions poured
into the market. Increased attention
being given TO the Canadian situation.
This was responsible for the special
weakness OF Canadian Pacific. The
squirt in cotton added TO the influence
of the wheat news. although the ex-
empiion of new crop futures in cotton

The demand for Amaigamated Top

A LAD OF MYSTERY.

sThat Awful Boy Jones'" Who Tor.
mented Queen vietoria.
For little while about the middle
of the nineteenth century that awful
boy Jones" was the torment Of Queen
victoria's life. and his short career in
public contains a mystery which
would try the mettie Of Sherlock
Holmes.
He was BARRIERS apprentice who In
some unexplained way discovered a
passage into Buckingham palace, with
which he alona was acquainted. When
he was first found trespassing he was
gently admonished and sent home.
Soon after he was encountered again
in the palace. He would not tell how
he obtained access. Again he was sent
home. and again he reappeared.
Once he calmly admitted that he had
been lodging IN the palace for q fort
night. He had laid snug during the
day. sleeping In the royal apartments.
and at night had Wandered from room
to room. helping himself to the food
left over from royal repnsts. He had
seen the queen repeatedly and indeed
had never been far from her.
The matter was considered SO seri-
Gus that the boy was summoned be.
fore a special meeting OF the privy
council. He refused to give any ac.
count Of his secret Soon after he dis
appeared. and 1t Is supposed that he
was removed under state protection

ing the early part of the year the COM
ct was invisible, being on the oppo-
site side of the sun from the earth
1t had then reached its perihelion and
started on its journey outward, draw
ing nearer the earth every day. This
will continue until May Is when 1t
will pass between the earth and the
sun and short time later will cross
the earth's orbit and disappear into
the great unknown. not to be seen
again for another generation.
One of the curious facts about the
comet Is that as it approaches the sun
1t trails Its immense tail after it in
its mad pace through the heavens. AS
1t gets nearer the sun, the tail gradu-
ally disappears, always staying on the
side of the comet opposite the sun.
When it reaches its perihelion. it has
scarcely any tail. but this begins to
form on its outward course.
AS 1t is now iourneying away from
the sun 1t is travelling with its tail
first and it will be in this position
when it passes the earth.
During the Biblical times, and even
down beyond the Middle Ages, the in
habitants of the earth stood in great
fear of comet, and Halley's has been
linked with number of historical in.
cidents. 1t was in S37 during the
reign of Louis (the Pious) of France
that the comet appeared. The people
were greatly alarmed and one learned
philosopher predicted that 1t meant
the death of the ruler The king i'm.
mediately held a consultation with his
bishops, and was told that he must
pray, build churches and found mon.
asteries. This he did, but he died
three years later.
One, of its most celebrated appear
ances occurred in 1856, three years
after the capture of Constantinople by
the Turks. According to historians
the comet was unusually large and a
brilliant golden color. All Europe be
came greatly alarmed and Pope Calix
tus LII urged the faithful to repear
the Angelus three times day in order
to protect themselves from the Turk
and the comet.

universal pronouncement of all our
best people interviewed on the sub
ject. This is not only for the price,
but any price.
1t is an all feature show. nothing
tame or stale about it. The side show
is high class. The menagerie contains
first class animals. clean, healthy and

ment are clean, well kept and of the
best. There is nothing shoddy or
shabby. In the arena the seating is
close to the performers, giving an ex-
cellent view of every act. And every
act is good of its kind. There are
several features Of the old-fashioned
circus, dear to our boyhood days. some
that are too frequently left out OF the
big shows in recent years. These are
the several kinds of bareback riding.
The most agreeable part of the edi-
tors experience is the politeness and
accommodation of all the employees.
A sweating stake manler asked citi-
zen: How far is 1t up town." and to
the reply said Thank you." No Hey

Likelihood of this. as the earth will
have safely passed that point in its or
bit, by the time the comet reaches it.
OF all the comets which have appear
ed from time to time, Halley's is the
most interesting. and is the oldest one
of which we have any record, its ap-
pearance being recorded as early as IL
b. G. Unlike other comets this heav-
emily traveller has closed orbit, OF
which it makes q complete circuit ev-
cry Is years. The discovery of this
fact was responsible for its name. It
was in 1852 that Edmund Haley, an
Englishman, made the announcement
that comets moved in closed orbits.
After great deal of research in SINH
lar orbits and concluded that these
were one and the same. When he
had satisfied himself as to his discov-
cry, he announced that the comet
would appear in the latter part of 175S
or the beginning of 1859. Although
he had been dead number of years,
the astronomical world awaited with
considerable curiosity the result OF his
prediction, and when the brilliant body
lit up the heavens on Christmas OF
1853, it was Immediately christened
| with Halley's comet. It appeared
next in 1888
On its present trip the mysterious
visitor was first sighted on September
IL last. Max Wolf Heidelberg. who is
developing photographs of the heav-
ems noticed the strange speck, on the
negative smaller than most of the
stars. What attracted his attention
was the swift movement of the body.
for 1t was not in the same position
on any two negatives. At this time
lit was travelling at the rate of more
than 1000 miles a minute on its jour-
ney toward the sun. On September
Is Prof. e. E. Barnard caught sight
of the comet with the 40 inch Yerkes
telescope and since that time many
photographs have been made Of it,
but on account Of its great distance.
they have been very indistinct. Dur
