OMAHA. Nov. ITO the Editor OF The
Bee: We notice In The Bee an unreason-
able request. Il seems, Of the street rail-
way company for more straps in the BEN
son cars, while we people in Orchard and
Walnut Hin are thankful II the cars hap
pen to stop at our corners in the morning
and give us a chance at a footing on a
car, without the thought Of a strap or the
untold luxury OF a seat
What we are looking forward to in this
age is more cars on the line or longer
platforms, as we are told that the seats
are all taken when the cars start from the
end OF the line and more than full when
they leave Benson.
We hope that the street railway company
will soon wake up to the fact that Omaha
has grown and they ought to endeavor At
least to keep up with the procession, in
stead OF remaining behind the times Lin
coin fashion.

reason its symptoms are Of a varied

OF The Bee: The conflict is over. You

democrats. voted for Mr.. Hitchcock not
because we thought him innocent Of the
charge OF borrowing state money from
BARLEY and negleeting to put It back, but
because We could see scheme to hold up
Mr.. Hitchcock for hush money, and the
state would receive no benefits thereby.
Your proofs were surely convincing to any
rational thinking man. Let Mr.. BARLEY
come out and submit the proofs against
everyone that got state funds and failed
to put 1t back, and then takeup q popular
subscription to raise funds to prosecute
them, and he can raise enough funds to

portant as this event is, it will be
entirely invisible to large part Of
humanity by reason Of the suns be-
ing below the horizon at the hour
named. France, England, Germany,
Italy, Spain and all the eastern part
of the United States will then be in
! the shadow Of night. Only on ou1
western borders is there hope that
the transit may be witnessed, and in
the Hawaiian Islands there is a much
closer approach to certainty. Prof.
Barnard has estimated that the size
of the comets head as seen from the
earth will be more than sufficient to
cover the suns entire face. 1t would
therefore seem that remarkable
phenomenon is at hand, very closely
approaching al eclipse in character.
Mass of Meteorites in Its Head.
So it would be if the comets head
were solid, like the moon; but,
though we are convinced that there
is solid matter in it, being probably
made up Of a mass of meteorites held
together by their mutual attraction,
still we know it to be much more
largely gaseous in its nature and
shall have to wait and see whether
it be sufficiently opaque to darken
the sun or whether it is so transpar-
ent that the sun can shine right
through it as though a thin cloud.
With a telescope having an object
glass of fifteen inches in diameter a
body of seventy miles in diameter at
the distance of the comet would show
black against the sun, md with high
er power one of ten miles diameter
would do the same. But it may be
that those most favorably situated
geographically will see just nothing
at all. In all history there is but
one recorded case of a comet tran
sitting the suns face, that Of the
great comet of 1882. When it reach
ed the sun it disappeared entirely.
And it seems likely, therefore, that
in the present instance the sun will
be darkened but little, if at all. Yet
all comets are not alike, and some
spectacle altogether unsuspected
may present itself to the admiring
gaze of all beholders.
Earth, comet and sun being in one
perfectly straight line at the time
Of transit, were the comets tail
straight the earth would be involved
in it at the same moment since it
sweeps back from the sun into space,
no matter which way the comet is
