COMET STILL ELUSIVE.
Won't Be Seen With Naked Eye For
Week Yet.

The Rev. FIR. NJ /. Stritch, of Detroit
college, made another effort TO catch
a glimpse of Halley's comet. Wednes-
day morning without result. He Is
convinced now that Detroiters will be
fortunate If they see the wanderer
within a week AS 1t Is now, it is inn
possible to see ii with the naked eye.
Even strong telescopes are unavail-
ing
"One has TO get up so early in the
morning that the glare Of light from
the street lamps spoils whatever
chance there would be OF seeing the
comet very early" said FIR. Stritch.
Later on, when the street lights are
extinguished and the comet Is higher
above the horizon, ii is impossible to
see 1t because OF daylight. imagine
there would be better opportunities OF
seeing the comet out in the clear
country some place. The highest IL
gets above the horizon is 80 degrees
so at this stage 1t gets only little
way above"

ALDERMEN TIRE

Weekly Collection Not Successful
Because of Failure of Citizens TO
Comply With Regulations.

That some of the aldermen are be-

was instituted last year is Indicated
by two resolutions adopted by the
council. Tuesday night. Aid. Heating
introduced a resolution requesting the
commissioner OF public works TO con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY Of cleaning all
alleys in the city las they are fast
becoming a menace In the health oi
the people" Aid. link introduced a
resolution calling for the cleaning OF
alleys in the Eleventh ward.
The weekly collection plan was
adopted with the idea OF Keeping, the
alleys clean all the time by having
ashes and rubbish placed In re-
ceptacles and thence transferred to
the departments wagons, instead or
allowing the refuse to be thrown into
the alleys to remain for an indefinite
time. and having wholesale cleanings
at certain periods in winter and
spring. A great many citizens have
refused to supply receptacles and
have continued to litter the alleys In
the old way, however. Foremen in
the department OF public works say
that they have been unable To enforce
the ordinance because of the difficulty
In securing convictions OF persons
who violated IL.
To give a wholesale cleaning OF the
alleys now would require large sum
of money and the council may have
TO provide this.
Tire council authorized q vote ON n
charter amendment allowing the sale
OF municipal bonds to the public in
issues of 500 or more. Supplemental
estimes for $4,000 to complete the

rotary Argue over Civil Service
Plan

incident OF the evening occurred. Sec.
rotary Anthony Pratt, OF the Munic-
ipal league, was at the meeting ami,
at its close, went to Aid. Gilman to
talk with him regarding the civil serv-
ice charter amendment which the
Municipal league is backing. Gilman
disagreed with him and other alder
men gathered around. Soon there
were more than a dozen aldermen
arguing with Pratt and the debate
quickly ran to personalities. Aid.
Allan finally became the spokesman
for the aldermen and his remarks in
dicated that he considered Pratt's ac-
ton as In the nature OF lobbying and
resented it.
The civil service amendment was
not brought up in the meeting. but Is

Catharine Parr, the sixth wife of
the much married Henry Will, owed
M re to her intellectual than to her
pr sonal charms. She was not good
10 u.ing, but had a pleasant face and a
world of tact SO skillfully did she
manage her troublesome husband as
actually to turn him against some of
the most trusted Of his own officials.
Once an order was made out for her
arrest on charge Of heresy, but she
got news Of the matter and so clev-
erly flattered and soothed Henry as
to effect complete reconciliation, and
when the officers came to serve the
order he drove them out with curses
